[Blood of Tyrants]

Again, playing the devil's advocate, if your spouse had just disappeard and you, being an intelligent person, and despite everything you say and everything you do and no matter how cooperative you are, know that you are the number one suspect.

Trying to play smart you would want the police to do everything by the book. Remember the part about "everything you say can and will be used against you"? They really mean it.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Yes, I remember that part about "everything you say can and will be used against you." Scotty certainly gave them alot to use and an awful lot for the public to be suspicious about, and he did this right from the beginning -- right from the start! He caused the cops to look at him even more closely.

Right from the get-go he wasted precious time and made the cops do an about face and get a warrant so they could search for clues that might help "Scott" find his wife. But Scott acted like he didn't care and never did. Then, it is said that he referred to Laci in the past tense. Only persons with knowledge of a demise do that. He acts guilty as sin. Everone wants the husband to be innocent, but it appears he is not. You cannot explain the totality of his actions that we know about -- much less those we don't -- away.

there is a certain emotional reaction when one's loved one is gone...especially one the was so "amazing" and "glorious".....

in that context...it was AMAZING for scotty to slow the police down in anyway....by not taking a lie detector test, by not letting them have full access to Laci's house.....that inhibited the solving of the crime....

who ever said Scotty was intelligent anyway?

I have brothers in sales so I don't mean to disparage sales people, but come on....its not rocket science...its a lot of charm and snake oil.....
