But Scott needed something different....An unusual alibi and a means of pulling this horendous deed off....all at one crack. He didn't have to explain anything to Amber or Laci...just a bunch of "loyal" relatives and a few cops. No biggie...he's been lying for years.
He must have thought about it for a long time and I'd guess it would go back to when Laci first got pregnant. Why way back then? Because of the video of Laci waving and smiling in a video. "Why the video?", asked Laci. "I want to send it to Usama bin Laden. Let him eat his heart out". What a very, very strange thing to say....because Usama can only equate to "murder on your mind".
I think the firestorm of media interest in this case took Scott quite by surprise. I didn't think so at first but I now believe the murder was premeditated. Scott expected to be able to handle the local missing woman case, but wasn't prepared for national scrutiny.
