And that boat....

I have a boat very similar in size and construction, and I don't think there is any way he could have dumped her out of it without capsizing it. Having said that, I think he's probably guilty.

My personal opinion: he dumped her the night before, went back and drug her BEHIND the boat, attached the anchors, and let her sink.

Seems to me that they Manufacturer of the boat actually performed their own test of capsizing and it passed with flying colors!!

I spend a lot of time on a 40' motorboat in the California Delta and I've helped single guys in my Marina unload a 90 pound Sturgeon from a boat like Petersons. These guys land the 90 pounder by themselves while anchored. He would have no problem loading a 100 pound woman.

Guilty as charged.

I know this late. We know the verdict. But this question will be discussed in the future.

You assume Scott put her in the boat at all. Scott in all likelihood placed the body in the water and ferried her out to a certain point. Prior to launching out in deep water Scott placed the body in the forms and poured concrete in the shallow water. Concrete cures in water. (I watched pool guys pour concrete, smooth it, then fill pool ASAP. He said the curing is bttr under water than sans water).

Scott thought the idea worked beautifully because the bay descends into a deep abyss. The Monterey Bay, for example, descends almost 1/2 mile down as per National Geographic article. That's far. But something happened that made Laci's body float back up. Something Scott did wrong. You know he knew there was a mistake because he kept returning to the scene of the crime.

As for the head: I hold an unorthodox theory. Scott is actually a serial killer. JMO but the guy strikes me as the type.
