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?
