"Whatever, notice that we never got an explanation as to why Scott would call her at 12:15 and say, "It's 2:15 and I'm leaving Berkeley now.""

I noticed that as well. I don't think we heard anything about this in the prelim. He as so obvious in making that statement to establish an alibi, clearly something one wouldn't be worried about when his/her loved one is missing.

I find it hard to believe that Scott wouldn't have thought about how an answering machine, or a cellphone, will stamp the time on a call. I think it's possible that the time on Laci's phone was just set wrong.

But if he really did just make a mistake, and say 2:15 when it was 12:15, I'd say he made a big mistake with that one!

MPD verified that the call to Laci's cell (and subsequent message) was made at about 2:15pm PST. It was addressed at the prelim, possibly on the last day.
