Fox is saying, per Geraldo, that it is really nylon and twine around the neck.Miz, if you are "lurking" how about asking your Coast Guard husband how likely it is for nylon and twine to be wrapped around a large object after months in the water?

Again:
ABC News learned today that tape was found around the neck of Laci Peterson's baby Conner, as well as around Laci's torso. NBC reports that this was plastic tape, wrapped 1 1/2 times around Conner's neck like a noose, and that a section of his chest was cut out. This seems to support the prosecution claim that the crime was actually a double murder, but it also supports the defense claim that Scott Peterson was not involved and this could have been the work of a satanic cult.
Neither of these reports has been officially confirmed, or is likely to be (press release from Stanislaus County District Attorney James Brazelton).

"...how about asking your Coast Guard husband how likely it is for nylon and twine to be wrapped around a large object after months in the water?"Late reply, so someone might have already answered this--he says it's possible that the child got tangled in some debris. But he also said it would depend on the accuracy of the report--originally they said tape. If it was, then you'd have to look at the tape: was it stuck together or to the child, or just wrapped around? I don't know if the news reports have said--and that would be important. If the tape had been in the water already, it would be highly unlikely for it to stick to the child or itself.
But the twine or nylon rope--yes, things can get tangled in these, the currents, etc. can make it wrap around things, probably including bodies. (Think about the last time you went wading at the beach--if there was seaweed, it just almost automatically wraps itself around your feet, and you have to shake it off.)
