Amy had some Christmas fruit basket which she had to pick up the next day. So Scott offered to pick up the fruit basket for her. I think Amy got a call during the day on the 24th, from whoever had the fruit basket, complaining that it still hadn't been picked up.
No, I don't think this particular thing about the tee time was any sort of pointed lie to an in-law. There's something funny about the whole thing. Why would he lie to Amy about picking up the fruit basket, when he knew darn well she could call him on it next time she saw him? (Unless maybe he KNEW that, contrary to everyone's belief, he WASN'T going to be having dinner at the Rochas' on Christmas Eve.)
I am not saying he is innocent, but there is no hard evidence of guilt
Exactly! None that we know of, at any rate!
The parking ticket thingie, I think I heard it had a time of about 1:00 p.m., or 1:30 p.m. Do you know that they've said that only 5 people used that parking lot that day? B/C it was Christmas Eve, and the water was choppy, and no one was going out, apparently.
I still think there's room for the possibility that Scott had already gotten rid of Laci during the night, and that he simply drove to Berkeley so he could say he'd been there, and get the time-stamped parking ticket. It came from a machine. You just put in a 5-dollar bill. No parking attendant involved. Perhaps Scott dumped Laci in the bay during the night. Maybe he threw her weighted, wrapped body off a bridge. Who knows? Then maybe he decided to go back there to "fish" the next day--actually to reassure himself that the weights had worked, and that she wasn't just floating around in the bay in plain sight.
But now, when you say there's an innocent explanation for all his weird after-the-fact behavior, I don't know. His selling of her car almost immediately? Hard to explain. I've got clothes of my mother's that no one here can wear, and she died a natural death two years ago! His asking a realtor--only about one or two weeks after she disappeared, mind you--about how he might sell the house? And he directed this question to the realtor while AT THE SEARCH CENTER!! Guilty of extremely bad taste, at the very least!
He absolutely shunned the camera for about the first week or two. Kept the hat pulled down over his eyes; he was never filmed without the ball cap, not once, during the time b/f it became known to him that Amber had connected with the police. He was clearly hiding from Amber when being filmed on TV. Even shaved the sides of his head. You couldn't see ANY of his hair in the shots of him back then, thanks to the cap and the shaving of the sides of his head.
If he's been selling Laci's jewelry all along, that will certainly be very telling. And at least one person has been quoted as saying, "Scott would tell us he was going out to put up missing person fliers, then we found out he was actually going to play golf." Wish I'd saved those articles.
Scott refused to sit with any of the family at the New Year's Eve candlelight vigil, and was photographed looking like he was at a frat keg party. That's how big a grin he had. It was obvious that he'd been exchanging jokes with someone nearby. That was only one week after Laci disappeared.
We will soon know if it's true that Scott kept calling Amber right through the whole early missing persons alarm and beginning search. I have heard that he did, and furthermore that, since Amber wasn't supposed to know he was married, Scott was just his usual self with her; not a single mention of his missing wife. Just things as usual.
He's been caught in so many lies, Kim VRWC's has been able to make a website about them all! And we're still counting.
So, we'll see. We don't have the hard evidence yet, but it begins to look like we will see some before this is over.
I didn't see the vigil at which SP sat apart from family and was grinning like he had listened to a joke. I hope the prosecutors are reading some of this stuff here.
The talking head lawyers on Greta are sounding more and more for the defense. And I am tired of the polls too indicating that MG is having an effect with all his theories.
I have heard on TV and seen remarks here on the threads, that there were some 3900+ phone calls taped (received or placed from SP's house) in a span of one month, wasn't it? Some 130 calls per day. Of those 3900+ calls, how many were to Amber? Have you heard a number?
