We only recently learn, that Scott went to the office/warehouse and after a couple of hours, and on the spur of the moment, decided to "go fishing".
So why did he HAVE to explain himself about this? I mean, it isn't like saying because he was going to go fishing that day seemed to be in and of itself, an indicator he killed his wife?
Mark Fuhrman said there were 51 minutes unaccounted for. But NOW, there is at least another hour or two added to the mystery. All he really accomplished with this new revelation, was to give himself less time to actually fish. He cast more suspicion on to himself.
We don't KNOW how much the MPD has on this guy to cause him to start the damage control TV appearances. But we're fixin to find out, I'll bet.

Maybe cause certain people were beginning to ask why Laci didn't mention to her mother that SP was going fishing. Also maybe this was his excuse for not wearing the appropriate clothes.
I guess that answers the question about why he never stopped for gas or food (supposedly). There just wasn't time, was there? :-)
If she was dead by say midnight of the 23rd it seems only logical that he would use the cover of darkness to assist him in disposing of the body. The difficulty of waiting until the morning and transporting her body to his "work space" and then to the Marina is that any friend or relative of Lac's might have called early on the 24th looking for her. As long as he could establish an alibi that he had already left he probably felt he was in the clear.
However, if she died somewhat later that night say 4 or 5am of the 24th, he had to work quickly to prepare her body and come up with his plan and alibi. Darkness would not have helped him since it would have been light before he could have gotten everything in place.
The initial report on the bloodhound was that they followed her scent to to the driveway and lost it which led them to believe that she had departed by car.
If she didn't die until early that morning then I think it is possible he was forced into a plan which entailed wrapping her body in a tarp (blue?), weighting it down with the umbrella standards because of their weight, and driving her corpose all the way to the Marina.
Experts here have already said how difficult it would have been to boost her body up over the side of such a small boat in the chop of the Bay without tipping over, but perhaps he was able to accomplish it. Maybe the tarp got away from him and resurfaced later on shore.
So I think it depends a lot on when she actually died. Is possible she was killed in her sleep and never knew what hit her?
I just thought that the evening of the 23rd was the most probable for an intercepted phone call, motel receipt, discovery of a gift for Amber etc., since they would both be up and about and people could contact them. But she may have died in her sleep in a plan he plotted hours later after a violent confrontation in which she stated her plans to divorce him.
Spec, take a look at this comment I put on an earlier thread (you may have missed it the other day...)
I agree with you, SP just dug the hole deeper for himself.
