A reply by Scott of "no, but I know who did" was reported months ago, and by a different source. If accurate, that very nearly as damning as "yes...uh...uh...but no."

Oh, but we can't believe anything at all that any of these media people tell us, anyway. Laci probably isn't even dead. She's probably home changing her baby's diapers. We're all the victims of a cruel hoax.

You are abosolutely correct DA. The predecessor to this latest Fox News story, ran in the May 26th or June 3,2003 National Enquirer(I'm not sure which date).

"Its the Smoking gun cops had worked so hard to find"

synopsis

The Enquirer has obtained stunning new details from the secret tapes
of conversation between Scott and Amber. The "Amber Tapes" will
provide some of the strongest evidence against Scott when he stands
trial.

Under the direction of the police, Amber secretly taped phone calls
Scott made to her after Laci disappeared.

"I didn't do anything to Laci, but I know who did," he told
Amber. "Somebody else is involved but I can't tell you who."

It is going to be nearly impossible to explain away Scott's
confession to Amber at trial. "Its the smoking gun cops had worked so
hard to find. For the first time since Laci disappeared he actually
admitted knowledge of what happened to her".

The detectives who heard the recording all thought the same thing.
If he knows about it, he's involved in it.

In another blow to Scott's defense, The NE has learned that Scott
sold some of Laci's jewelry and other treasured belongings before her
body was found. Scott knew the search would never bring Laci home.

When the cops went to their Modesto home the second time with a
search warrant they were looking as much for what WASN'T there as for
what evidence they could find. Watches, earrings, and trinkets that
Laci treasured were nowhere to be found.

Police later established that Scott sold them.

The tapped confession provides a graphic illustration of the key
role "double agent" Amber played in putting Scott behind bars. But
it also highlighted the potential danger of her role. With Scott
free, her family worried about her saftey.

When police heard about the confession, their response was, "If he
really has an accomplice, does he have the power to reach out and
harm Amber?" Amber's role began 6 days ofter Laci went missing. On
Dec.30th she went to the police and handed them the pictures. She
told cops that Scott was still calling her.

Scott's calls to Amber's home -some lasting 40 minutes, went on till
Jan.5th when he then told her "Sit down I've got something to tell
you." He confessed he'd lied to Amber and said that he was married,
and his wife was missing. Amber pretended to hear the news for the
first time. Scott said, "I want you to know I will never lie to you
again." With Laci's disappearance now out in the open between them,
Amber took on the risky role of trying to obtain more information
from him. She worked from a script the police had given her.
Guiding him always back to talk of Laci.

Amber walked a fine line to gather information from him without
scaring Scott off and bringing his phone calls to an end. The
questions to Scott, through Amber, became more pointed as the weeks
passed. Amber did a magnificent job in her double agent role. While
police listened they were learning more and more about Scott, what he
was doing everyday and how he was coping with the pressure they were
putting on him during the investigation.

Then came the evening when a nervous Amber got the results her
handlers wanted. "He blurted out, "I didn't do anything to Laci- but
I know who did." "Somebody else is involved but i can't tell you
who." Scott's calls continued until just a couple of weeks before he
was arrested. By then the dangerous game of double agent Amber had
been playing had frayed her nerves. Ron Frey, Amber's father
said "By the time Scott was arrested, Amber's nerves were shattered. This has been a nightmare for the whole family.

A reply by Scott of "no, but I know who did" was reported months ago, and by a different source. If accurate, that very nearly as damning as "yes...uh...uh...but no." Oh, but we can't believe anything at all that any of these media people tell us, anyway. Laci probably isn't even dead. She's probably home changing her baby's diapers. We're all the victims of a cruel hoax.

Excuse me but I missed the point of your strange sarcasm. You must be working too hard.
