I don't know; I prefer to look at it as being more hopeful (that he will pay for what he apparently did).
The article said she asked him whether he had anything to do with Laci's disappearance. I envision her question as being just that: "Scott, did you have anything to do with her disappearing?" His initial answer: "yes".
I interpret that as "yes, I had something to do with her disappearing."
And we all know that Laci didn't just wander off, or go home to mother. She was TAKEN away.
The article said she asked him whether he had anything to do with Laci's disappearance. I envision her question as being just that: "Scott, did you have anything to do with her disappearing?" His initial answer: "yes".Well, we can hope that was her exact question, but we weren't given direct quotes on her question. The question could just as well have been, "Scott, do you know anything about your wife's disappearance"?
The conversation that will be equally interesting will be the one where he admits that he HAS a wife. Remember, Amber supposedly learned that he HAD a wife from a taped conversation between Scott and her.
