In January, 2003, I remember that we heard something like, the police said "If you knew what we knew, you'd understand why we keep going back to the Bay." Something like that.
Well, what they knew was: Scott kept inexplicably driving to the Bay. And he was attempting to do it secretly. Rather than (as Geragos says) Scott's having driven to the Bay b/c the police were going there, I think a large part of the time, the police were continuing to dive in the Bay b/c they saw that Scott kept going there.
Hah! Scotty led LEO all the way.
Dumb jerk.
Brilliant. I bet that was it. Scott was going to the bay and thus they would then go there, not the reverse.
