Maybe. But I really believe Snott was absolutely obsessed with Amber and maybe still is.

See, my take on him being obsessed with Amber is totally different. She went on TV and told about the affair. She surely has more things to say that would incriminate him...not necessarily about the murder, but just how she was told he was unmarried, he said he was not marrried, then, his wife was dead etc. and who knows what else. I think he wanted to get to Amber as per all the phone calls to make sure she went no further in telling anyone about them.

I also think that Amber was the first one of his "several" girlfriends to put two and two together,and then she went to the police. I think the other girlfriends are being kept under wraps by MPD.

Scott has a reason to be obsessed with her. He had a "romantic relationship" with her. (In the incontrovertible words of St. Amber.)

The reason for others' obsession with "defending Amber" is not as clear. I guess one could speculate, though.
