If this case does go cold, Laci's family is NOT going to like it when Scott tries to move on with his life. They might start remembering things that their minds can't admit right now.

Cold is right. This one is heading for the deep freeze. Whatever he did with the bodies, he did it well. Here's a guy who sells fertilizer. Lime??? Travels a lot through the area. Knows the countryside pretty well. Could think up a pretty good place to hide her on the spur of the moment!

If they don't find the body, and there are no witnesses, and there is either little or no circumstantial lab evidence linking him to her disappearance, and he keeps his mouth shut, and his lawyer runs the usual legal arguments on the cops and prosecuters, Scotty boy is about ready to set sail on the 'Love Boat."

Prediction: Scotty and his "new" squeeze will be leaving the state in six months to a year for some balmy clime! Laci's parents will realize (if they have't already) that Scotty pulled a fast one on them and played them all for suckers. His parents, however, will continue to insist that their little boy had NOTHING to do with Laci's death.

Just a guess, but I will predict a 5'4" blond bombshell named "Candy". We'll see!
