Absolutely. There is no way a criminal can be as familiar with crime scenes as the cops. Plus, they have also seen previous staged settings. They can just smell the phonies. I am sure Scott stunk to high heaven from the first moment, even when the world was treating him as the perfect husband whose wife went missing.

Yet another problem is that the would-be stager is usually under the impression that all he needs to do is avoid conviction. In fact, he has to avoid suspicion. Once you're under suspicion, it's all up, assuming the police are doing their job.

Scotty-boy smelled funny to me from day one...as did OJ, Susan Smith, Jon Benet's mom, and Walker Railey (the former Dallas Methodist preacher who if I recall correctly was found civilly liable in the attempted murder of his strangled wife and who was left "PVS" (sound familiar to Terri???), etc.
None of them seemed even remotely upset that their "loved one" had been murdered or that a murder was attempted, but which left their "loved one" permanently disabled.
