Regarding his question about cadaver dogs: After he was dropped off at his house early Dec 25 and discover the gun was gone from the glove box and called back to ask about it, he was told LE did have the gun. He then asked that famous question "are you using cadaver dogs?" I took that as sarcasm implying "you think she's dead and I shot her".
The part about telling a couple people he had been playing golf can be understood if you're talking to a distraut husband saying golfing when he meant to say fishing. If he were guilty, he would have been consistant with his alibi, knowing these people would be questioned.
Laci and Connor's bodies turning up where they did is something I cannot explain. I'm waiting to see what both prosecution and defense have to say about this. Hopefully this fiasco on Wednesday won't result in a mistrial. Time will tell.
According to the testimony, it turns out that he did not actually ask his question about cadaver dogs at the same time he called to ask whether they had taken his gun.
He called to ask if they'd taken the gun early on Christmas morning, not long after getting out of his interview with police.
He made the call in which he asked about cadaver dogs over 12 hours later, on the evening of Christmas Day.
I. Ben, I would like very much to believe that it was not Scott who killed his own wife and baby. Seriously, if she was really with him the night of the 23-24, up till about 10 a.m. the 24th--which is what he says--then she could only have disappeared between 10 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. on the 24th. What do you think happened during those hours to cause her to disappear? Where do you think it happened? Do you think she was walking the dog when she disappeared--if so, then it could only have happened between 10:06 and 10:18, if you believe Scott's cellphone records and Karen Servas... or do you not believe Scott's cellphone records and/or Karen Servas? If you don't believe them or her, why?
If you don't think it happened btw 10:06 and 10:18, then I assume you think it happened between 10:18 and 4:45. Do you think she was walking the dog during these hours, and was abducted, and if so, how did the dog get back in the yard with the gate closed?
Do you think it happened within walking distance of her house? Or do you think she was out somewhere in her car? If you think she was somewhere she went in the car, how did the car end up back in the driveway, and how did the car keys end up back in her purse?
If you think, OTOH, that the car had no role, wouldn't you agree that it must have happened at or near the house? If so, where might it have happened?
If you think it happened in the house, then why were diamonds, guns, bank/credit cards, Land Rover, and cash left untaken? Why was there no sign of any trouble except one scrunched up throw rug? Why did Karen Servas, who was home some of the day, right next door, hear nothing? Why did the other neighbors such as Tara V. and Amie K., who were also home, not see/hear any struggle or trouble? How did the killer know that Scott might not be coming back to the house soon?
You agree that you can't explain how the body got to the Bay. Neither can I, under this scenario. But we must live with the fact that the body did indeed go into the Bay. If we accept the scenario that it was done by someone else, then it has to have happened between about 10:08 and 4:45 on Dec. 24, since if Scott is innocent, he would be telling the truth when he says she was with him the other times.
We know that the heat came down on the area near Berkeley sometime shortly after the police interviewed Scott (Dec. 24-25), b/c we know that is when he told them he'd been to Berkeley. If someone kept Laci alive for some days after the 24th, how did they get her into the Bay, obviously weighted down (b/c otherwise she'd have floated up much, much sooner), while there was all that heat in the very area of the Bay where it turns out her body actually was?
If, OTOH, someone abducted/killed her on the 24th, and got her into the Bay shortly thereafter, what are the odds that this person picked the very two places Scott had also been (home, and the Bay)?
Why would someone who had done this gruesome murder take the risk and make the extreme effort to transport this woman's body, which they later have to have weighted down, for 90 miles? Wouldn't there be much more risk of capture if they spent all that time with the corpse, as opposed to leaving the dead woman wherever it was they found and killed her in Modesto?
