I also saw the Mark Furman comments on Tv last night, and I thought he made a very valid point....
the husband gets home at 4:30 pm from "fishing" ...his wife is not around, he calls a few relatives and then CALLS the POLICE at 6pm!
1 1/2 hrs later...which in reality is odd because why PANIC that's she's missing, foul play etc.... Mark Fuhrman also made the point that even people with "kids" they can't find don't call the police that quickly - they still think the kid is at a friends house etc....
He (the husband gone fishing christmas eve) doesn't sound like the 'touchy feely' worry about the pregnant wife type anyway
Besides - she could've been 'shopping' or at the grocery store it was christmas eve there's always the last minute thing, out and about doing a few errands.
I asked my husband if he would've called the police after 1 1/2 hrs of not knowing where I was and he laughed because I easily could be doing stuff-not have my cell phone on etc....at the mall - etc
the 'jump to conclusion' to call police so quickly is odd...
too bad the dog can't talk, I bet he took the dog for a 'ride w/leash on' let it out somewhere (thinking it would be found wandering and NOT back at the house probably)
I also doubt the 'object' is his wife, it's almost too easy...
You're forgetting about Laci's purse and keys being left at home. When a guy sets up the perfect crime it's not fair to ignore the evidence he has manufactured. It is supposed to look like a "stranger abduction".
