That SP was selling chemicals to meth labs is an interesting possibility.

I rather think that the Prosecution would like to leave that can of worms unopened and dismiss this Cory guy as a lying con.

Otherwise MG is going to portray SP as the victim of a drug gang trying to extort materials by threat of harm to his family. It was Dirty and Skeeter who brought up kidnapping, see, cause Scott didn't want to sell them the anhydrous at the price they wanted....blah, blah, blah.

MG could play that as Lacy being kidnapped to punish or frighten Scott into cooperation, etc.

And then of course when SP went to the police and the heat was on, they framed Scott by dumping Laci and Connor near where SP said he was fishing.

And it explains completely the "I know who did" call to Amber, and his other weird behavior, changing appearance, etc. He was in fear for his life, because LE doesn't believe him and are either complete dupes or complicit with the "drug mafia"

It is actually a plausbile story line for a movie script.

I really think you're right about the meth labs, and have thought for some time that was a "big" drug connection with respect to Laci's disappearance. Do believe prosecution has been trying to avoid "going there" regarding the drug connection. On the other hand, in the past, prosecution and MPD have really been playing this close to the vest, and they have said things like "peoples' lives could be in danger", as well as, "we believe SP has knowledge and has not been forthcoming", blah blah. Even Sharon and Bret Rocha have never said "we think Scott did it". They seem to be thinking too, that he knew more than he was saying.

As to Carroll, I suspect that something tipped him off that his name was, or had been thrown out to MPD, and he thought he'd better get something out there quickly in his own defense. Is he telling the truth? Well, that's the big question now, isn't it?
