Scott was leading a double life, and financially going under. He had many motives for wanting her dead. No one else did.
Scott ALWAYS had his cell phone with him, but golly...he just LEFT it in his truck while he was fishing, so he says. Then he fakes calls to his dead wife on the way home. Why didn't he call his girlfriend? Why didn't he try and call Laci on her cell phone when he couldn't get hold of her at home?
Old habits die hard, and Scott was addicted to that cell phone. That cell phone enabled him to carry off his desception of being out of the country or where ever he wanted people to think he was...it was his Best Friend. I can't replay all the evidence, but Scott was more than just a jerk. He has been described as a sociopath. Big difference.

I do believe Gergas or that former juror NO. 5 is lurking here or maybe merely those who argued that Westerfield was innocent.
