Is Scott going to sit around and wait for the blood evidence to come back from the lab, knowing that it might mean an arrest for him? Is he THAT arrogant? Or will he flee somehow, kill himself? Narcissists don't kill themselves, usually. They think they can beat the rap.

I imagine Scott's struggling between two conflicting notions. On the one hand, you can bet that he just wants to get out of this spotlight he's in. I'm sure he's looking into selling the house, as people have said. (Totally separate from what people have said about his having maybe planned to sell the house BEFORE the disappearance!) I'm sure he doesn't want to hang around Modesto, where Laci's family is present. But he's got his business there, so he has to stick around some. (Wonder if those bigwigs from Tradecorp were discussing Scott's possibly relocating his franchise?)

On the other hand, there would be his attorney's advice. A poster claimed that evidence of flight to avoid prosecution is admissible in a criminal trial in CA. (If this case ever comes down to a criminal trial...) I checked it out and it appears to be correct. So if Scott were to leave Modesto or CA or the country for parts unknown, that might very well come back to haunt him in the form of "evidence of flight to avoid prosecution." So his attorney is probably advising against Scott's dropping TOO FAR out of sight.

Probably if Scott is telling his attorney, "I just can't stand all this public attention, I want to leave," maybe the attorney is trying to work it so that Scott drops from sight of the public, but officially keeps his whereabouts known to the authorities through the attorney. That might be the compromise they are looking for. In that case, WE would see Scott disappear from sight, but the police would be kept informed of where he was.

If I were the police, and that happened, I would be sorely tempted to leak his whereabouts to the press, just to keep some heat on him. Don't know if they'd do that, though.

I don't recall any blood evidence before this article came out.

Has this evidence been there all along?

Or is this just some creative reporting?
