"Besides, I am a lifelong reader of the fine journalism of the National Enquirer, having started when I was 9 (in spite of store clerks saying things like, "I'm not sure I should be selling this to you kids, but...")"

You're welcome...NE has gotten more credible over the years, at least there aren't headlines refering to "alien visits". They have a checkbook & I think that helps. These NE article are gems. I still haven't found a link to the Globe article. BTW, can they use anything Scott said (or didn't say) in that initial interview in court as evidence?

Can they use anything Scott said/didn't say in that interview as evidence? My dear Drj, they can use all of it! Thank heaven!

It's tricky, though, for them to argue to a jury, "Notice he didn't say such-and-such"... they would stay away from that sort of comment. I think they'll just put the statement out there... they can point out conflicting statements by Scott. The jurors will be able to draw a few conclusions of their own, also. I bet at least one juror will ask, "Why did he ask for grief counselors less than 24 hours after she went missing?"

I mean, when a loved one is missing and you're looking frantically, I call that panic and fear--not grief! You certainly don't want to sit around and talk about your feelings at a time like that--seems like you'd be still trying to do your best to find her. Unless...
