That is an intriguing thought you posted--about Rebekah Miller.

But I am thinking there's a crucial difference. Apparently Rebekah Miller was going to the dumpsters voluntarily ("dumpster-diving," I think they call it.) I would bet a lot of money that Laci never went near any of the dumpsters in that area! I think the analogy fails b/c we are comparing one person who was rooting through dumpsters, and got snatched away and presumably killed--with another person who was nowhere near the dumpsters, but who might have been killed and dumped in one of them, or have had something with her blood, etc., dumped in one of them.

MPD confirms Scott did not tell them about Amber. Amber notified them.

I'm sure they are probably not related...but I found it odd that the dogs tracked Laci to those dumpsters and another woman had disappeared from the general area months before...if the same dumpster by the Gallo Winery....also puts another womans disappearance in close proximity to Laci's.
