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.

Sure, but the article portrays it as her asking him if he had anything to do with his wife's disappearance. If it's wrong about that, it could be wrong about his "yes". But Fox supposedly is at least reputable, and at least presumably checks out stories b/f publishing them.

Suppose she HAD just asked him "do you know anything about your wife's disappearance?" Well... and he answers YES??!

Even with Vel's earlier scenario--in which Scott claims he killed Laci b/c the satanists made him do it--even with that, Scott would still be a principal. So what if someone "made" him do it? He's not off the hook for murder in that event. And if he merely "knew something" about her disappearance, well, that sounds like he's liable as an accomplice, at least.

I mean, criminal law doesn't vary TOO much from state to state. And I know that in this state, if you take part, you can be held liable as a PRINCIPAL--even if others were doing more of the crime than you were. That is, for example, if you are the getaway driver for the bank robbers, and you never even go into the bank, you can still be convicted of bank robbery, right along with the guys who actually went inside.

And I know you know that, for example, if a man hires someone to kill his wife in some American city, and then hops a plane to Paris, and the hired killer kills her, the guy who hopped the plane to Paris is still legally guilty of murder.
