Sure--jump in. You're absolutely correct that he'd taken out a double indemnity policy. And that in and of itself had raised a lot of eyebrows because all the insurance advisors and financial counselors came out of the woodworks after her disappearance to report that that was crazy. It was an archaic policy, and most counselors would recommend their clients just increase their benefits as opposed to adding the double indemnity clause (cheaper and more effective, the experts said).

So, you're right that there was something terribly amiss in this double indemnity policy (which, by the way, didn't need to be a boating accident for the ins. company to pay up).

Pushing her overboard and claiming it was accidental death might have been a good plan, but when did he intend to do it? To get rid of her AND the baby, he would have had to have done it while she was pregnant, right? Well, she was 8mo. pregnant and he still hadn't taken her fishing or whatever excuse he'd been planning on using (following your train of thought, that is). I mean, what 8mo pregnant woman decides to go fishing/sailing on a little rowboat like that? That's not believable. And it wouldn't be believable if she'd never gone fishing with him before--it would have been out of character and implausible to those who knew her.

No....i still think he only bought that dingy boat to dump her already-dead body...but that's just my gut feeling. I sure hope the truth comes out...I appreciate your ideas, Sandy

Maybe that was his plan, though. The bost was supposed to be a Christmas present. Maybe he figured he could con her into going fishing by saying they just had to try out the new boat??

And of course when she 'accidentally' fell overboard, her feet happened to get tangled in the lines of the spare anchors....

It was especially not believable with Laci, because she got seasick when she boated! The first date she ever had with that creep was to go boating and she was sick. She sure wouldn't have gone out in the winter at 8 months pregnant.

Thanks, MM. You might be right about an already dead body, but I kinda think he had planned it for Christmas Eve, telling her he had bought the "family" a surprise boat for Christmas. I posted a theory about what might have happened on the night of the 23rd on the previous Laci thread, if you're interested. Check it out, if you're not like me, too tired. LOL
