No.

This was NO boating accident.

In other reports it is said that the baby would be expelled from the womb vaginally as the body decayed. So it is possible that the baby came out well after they both were dead.

Exactly.

And the Medical Examiners office doesn't say they were cut off.

Not if he killed her and weighted her down in the bay. Natural forces would have pulled the extremities off, thus the blood would have gone in the water.

Geraldo broke on FNC just a bit ago

Well, let's hope they don't fix him.

Yeah, it sounds like he hated her gutts.

If the information is true, then he planned it Big Time. He removed all organs that would hold air and may force the body to the surface.

It is suggesting that the organs were removed, yet the baby and uterus were intact.

Can a doctor tell me if this even possible?

right, but isn't this the issue, the MEs don't believe that what happened to the body could have happened as a "natural" course of being in the water? so then what?

Props on any type of water vessel can do this type of damage and more. However, it would be unlikely that only specific extremities would be neatly severed. An entire body would show signs of the propeller cuts as the entire body would more than likely be caught in the rotation. These type of cuts would be very easy to determine.

To play the devil's advocate, it looked like the police were going to pin this on Scott from the beginning, right? If he wasn't guilty, I can see the same thing being done by someone who was fairly certain that they were going to railroad him.

Put it this way, if YOU were the Scott Peterson and were innocent and looking at the mountain of evidence the police were compiling, wouldn't you consider going on the lam?

That all being said, he is as guilty as sin. It is just too much coincidence that he was fishing in the same area that the body was dumped. The cult members followed him there after they had killed his wife and then dumped the body to make Scott look guilty? I ain't buying it.

The spins will spin until, one hopes, the actual truth comes in. Frankly, I don't care what they report. It's impossible for me to fathom that a loving husband and father-to-be would have been teeing off at Torrey Pines while awaiting DNA results on the bodies that washed up on shore. "Don't make no sense...Don't make no sense, t'all."

I'm not buying this at all.

I say the "unidentifiable source" comes from the Peterson household as disinformation to spread and poisen the jury pool. He mother yaps at the mouth with BS too much, and this little bit of info about organs being removed is there way of putting out that a Satanic Cult killed Laci.

Well, if they did, then Scott must be a member, because he did it.

Her head was removed, as was the leg with the tattoo - I believe this was so she couldn't be identified.

As for the other parts missing...I would say probably water damage.

I don't know about everyone else; but I am fed up with these unidentified sources.

Ditto. It says to me that anyone can say anything to somebody who will report it and no one knows if it is or isn't reliable.

The fact that their is disagreement and conflicting accounts proves that none of us can put absolute trust in much of what we hear about this case.

It appears we will have to wait at least a year to hear sworn testimony.

3 1/2 months under water and natural decay could easily cause it.

"...the heart, lungs and other internal organs are gone..."

Unless SP needed to chum the waters hoping sharks would finish off the evidence, I don't see any other reason he would do this. This lends a little credibility to the defence.

This would have been a tragic, un-witnessed drama in the cold, silent, lonely depths of the Bay ..

God was there to welcome his precious treasure home.

Did the MEs say this and stand by it or is it just a report from an "unidentified source"?

It's very hard to keep track of actual versus speculative.
