a gold watch almost identical to one Laci tried to auction on eBay weeks earlier, according to the records of the Petersons' eBay account.

How would the "satanic cult" know where to find the watch? I thought all transactions on ebay were anonymous. If Laci or Scott gave out their home address to these strangers, wouldn't there be a computer record of this somewhere?

The pawn shop watch had no diamond bezel is my understanding..Pawned for 20 dollars...Almost identical isn't going to cut it.

Why is it necessary that they know where to find this specific watch?

I think the scenario the defense is try to propose is that they kidnap Laci and she has the watch. The watch looks valuable. They then pawn the watch.

They don't even know about the Ebay listing. I doubt that anyone would kidnap her for a $20 watch they saw on Ebay, but if she was wearing the watch, pawning it would be pretty easy.

You have to wonder where drifters like this got what was once a very expensive watch. We haven't seen the evidence yet, but it is not your everyday brand of watch. Laci's relative couldn't identify it, but where is Laci's watch? Could the relative be helping the prosecution?

ebay accounts are to be anonymous except for email address when requested, or square trade verifying or PayPal.... But, one would have to know the item listing to this particular item being auctioned, and time frame for ebay search to find a record of it, in 6 mos they are no longer linkable if you bookmarked the item? Someone gave them their ebay account info or was subpeona?

I guess the fact that it may have been on her wrist escapes you ?

Not only that, but there is evidence that the Croton watch once owned by Laci was given a value of $750. It had diamonds. Whereas, according to the pawn ticket Geragos is waving around (which allegedly shows where a Deanna Renfro pawned a Croton watch), that watch had no diamonds, had scratches, and was in the end pawned for $20.

And of course we're just supposed to ignore the fact that there is no known connection btw Deanna Renfro and Donnie and Mary Renfrow, the two innocent people Geragos seems to be trying to frame (along with Deanna) for this murder. Some champion of justice, him!
