Why would Scott talk about going to the water at all, had he taken Laci's body out there in a tarp and dumped it? There were no witnesses. Why would he place himself at the general scene of the crime?

He was in a densely populated area and any number of people could have seen him (and perhaps did and have submitted statements to the police detectives). He could have been cocksure that the body would not surface because he wrapped it in a tarp, tied concrete blocks to it, and dumped it way out in the bay.

In addition, there were several web cams that could have caught his actions and one in particular that would have caught him motoring to Brooks Island.

Well one thing does look fishy: that his Christmas eve fishing excursion lasted only a few minutes, much shorter than the 3 hour round trip. I have heard of folks who claim that a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work, but this would be pushing fishing fanaticism to a new high. It looks an awful lot like Scott did stuff Laci into a Christmas stocking for the fishies.
