It isn't a "popular recreation spot" on Christmas Eve.

Very few murders involve dumping the body hours a way from where they are taken.

The problem with this line of thinking is that LE has no indication that Laci was dumped in the bay on Christmas Eve. After months of decomposing it is safe to bet that they might, maybe have a two week window for the dumping. I would bet that a month is more likely.

Once someone hears that Scott was on the bay it becomes the perfect place to dump the body.

The other problem I see is that there really doesn't seem to be much blood in the house.

While I have never dismembered a person, I have butchered several hogs in the 150-300 lb weight range. This is not a job which an inexperienced person could do in darkness. If Scott set up a light he would be visible for miles.

Somewhere there is a place where Laci was dismembered. It is either inside a building or in dense vegetation, hidden from passerbys. There is/was a lot of blood at that location and probably bits of flesh as well.

Or you do it in the garage or in the house on a hard floor on a large tarp(s) that Scott was known to have had with gloves and throwaway cloths. Then strip off everything and roll it up.

Put the rolled up tarp in the boat.

No mess.

Do you get much call for the blood?

Growing up I used to eat a Filipino Dish that one needed fresh pig blood.

Us anglo's in the family called it Chocolate Meat I cannot remember the real name.

Yet another suggesting on how else did Laci get to her final destination.
Possible well yeah, plausible highly unlikely.

I live on a Bay and lights that do not normally appear do all the time. Usaully some inexper. boater caught on the sandbar. No one usaully pays attention 'cept me.

I noticed a fishing vessel in the same spot for two weeks and not fishing called the CG and found out they were late on their moorage rent and so are living in an anchor zone...legally. Huh now I wonder where they are dumping their sewage as they have been out there 2 months now. Bay bums.
