I can't believe it's been 20 yrs already.
Yeah, its seem like only a few years ago.
I was living in San Mateo at the time and I always thought they didn’t move the trial far enough from Modesto and we would one day see him win an appeal on that.
I was 18 and I remember watching this with my mom so heartbreaking 🥲
I was thinking the same thing...
@@mychannel-fy3tf They chose a horrible Jury.. that's why there's a new trial.
He left a message just like Adam Frasch, Chris Watts and Jodi Arais
Victory Ismine That's because he's in the same sociopathic category as them and of the same ilk.
I hear him and Watts are BFFs in prison too. There is a video of them here someplace.
So many killers leave messages!!!!
@@melanatedqueen 🤢🤢🤢🤢
Psychopaths!!!!!!!!!! Also Charles Stuart from Boston years ago with his pregnant wife.
The wrong person is in prison omg. His family is so in denial. He never wanted a family.
Esp his sister in law, She looks so evil..
@@OctPSfever She is a hideous witch no doubt.
Why do you think he's that way?
@@DeeMontezx1 Yes she is.
@@OctPSfever it's obvious she has no heart.
I followed this since the beginning. He is guilty. He is a narcissistic sociopath.
Psychopath for sure. So scary.
Exactly! Full blown narc!
I followed it as well. Everyday.
Just like Jim Jones.
Exactly! Narc to the fullest extent!
Scotts family has a hard time coming to terms with the fact that there's a psycho murderer in the family. They've been making excuses for the boy a long time Im sure
But he is a psycho murderer.
Peterson family, wake up!
Just like Chris watts family
That exact treatment of him contributed or even created this monster. He didn’t want to take a 2nd or 3rd seat in his own home from then onward.
So why wasn't there reportings of the dog walking home from the park alone with his leash on?
@Jean Genie yep, he was the only birth of that union and the final birth.
Laci was absolutely stunning. i hope shes at peace with Connor
Laci was Incredibly Stunning.😪❤
@@colenexoxo8939 its so heartbreaking to see how much promise she had as a young woman and mother ):
Laci was so lovely. Such a beautiful smile.
@@creamsaroyan6666 she truly was stunning.. im sure she shined bright inside and out
She looked like a regular house wife. Not attractive since her early 20s, like most of them.
Come on .. his mistress was talking to him
while his wife was missing he was telling her he was in Paris..not my wife missing and I'm searching for her.
Right! You think if he was innocent that he would have come clean to Amber and say I'm married and my wife is missing. I can't talk to you right now because I need to help find her. He didn't even try looking but instead changed his appearance and tried to leave the country! And with Viagra!!
He told his gf his wife was dead before she was
@@Alexandra-xt1vf exactly
I like your opinion, just don’t agree with it. When he was telling his gf he was in Paris, he was unaware that she was working with the police or if she even had knowledge about his wife missing. So in his mind, HE DOES NOT KNOW THE HIS GF KNOWS WHATS GOING ON WHICH IS HIS REASON FOR THE CONTINUED LIES!!! Before his gf Amber went public, he ADMITTED TO HER about his real situation. His word were, “God Amber, I don’t mean to hurt you but, I lied to you about me lossing my wife. She actually disappeared on the 24th.” He then admitted to his gf “I love Laci and I’m hoping she comes home.”
any money and/or time spent on him after all this time is a total waste. he is exactly where he should be.
Agree
Yes
I hope he never gets out of prison.
& here’s hoping YOU are never in the wrong place at the wrong time! A dudes reaction landed him on death row!
He never will.
He will never get out of prison lol. He can only hope to avoid the death penalty.
He was so innocent he bleached his hair and was headed to Mexico with a bag of money.
Wait till you find out just how many other people had to do the same. You're in for a shock. Do you think they all killed their wives too? Let's investigate, let's find out. That is, if this really bothers you.
@@diamondgirl6716 People fleeing to Mexico are not usually innocent folks
@@Alexandra-xt1vf
That's true, but who goes on a business trip with cash across that border when someone they love is missing and comes back? How many do this, I wonder? Apparently, they don't want the general public to know because they rarely report it, but I heard about three isolated incidents right before the border closed.
@@diamondgirl6716 Shady people do that
@Akudda How is that fact? He grew out his hair to avoid the hostile media. It didn’t work because there are clips of Scott being seen by the media looking like that before any bodies were found. LE knew what he looked like because they had contact with him and followed him everywhere.
He was headed to the golf course while escaping LE in unmarked cars who he thought was the media. He had been living in his car for weeks when he wasn’t at his sister-in-law’s house which contained his personal things. Depending on what you believe, these points can be added to his guilt or innocence.
Meanwhile - Laci and Connor are no longer on this earth. Scott killed them no doubt, he should stay in his new home.
4Ever Young
Scott the smirking murderer!
What he did to laci's family
And he gets another trial?? No justice for victims! A huge waste of taxpayers money!
After she was missing he never called her cell phone one time. Then in January he rented a vehicle 3 times & drove to the marina got out for 2 minutes looked around then left. This man is so guilty. He knew Laci couldn't answer that phone & he drove to her burial site to see if she had submerged from the water. Also, his hey beautiful voicemail was so phony. How could u be so evil to take your pregnant wife's life on any day let alone Christmas Eve?! You had everything & never even appreciated it.
Those are two of the biggest reasons I'm convinced of his guilt. That and he told Amber that Laci was dead while other people (not him!) were out searching for her and Connor day & night. Any normal or even most abnormal people would not say something like that. Most of us would be losing our ever lovin minds, calling nonstop, hoping, desperate for an answer. But we all know he already knew. I found him to be quite smug throughout the investigation.
Oh and the idea that the burglars knew to deposit her body from reports of where he was that day is insulting. Why would they put themselves at more risk. Cops were all over that area. Safer to choose a far closer yet remote enough area in or around Modesto.
Sorry for my rant. This man makes me literally nauseous. He needs to stay right where he is.
The sincerity of "Hey Beautiful.." Falls to pieces after you know he was actively involved with a woman at the time. The great pretender...to this day I can never see Scott showing any emotion about losing his son or wife..it was like they never existed
Wow, that's a great point(if it's true)about him not calling her phone after that day....
He killed her, no husband would "go fishing on Christmas Eve" because no wife would let him.
💯💯💯
@CensorsWont Stopme good luck to you
Exactly
Um...no, friends and family acknowledged that it wasn't out of character for him to make a spur of the moment decision to go fishing. This is California where the weather is above 50 degrees year round. Scott and Laci didn't have any plans until hours later so there's no reason why he couldn't go fishing
He probably did it but going fishing doesn’t mean you killed someone.
he was guilty then and he's guilty now
Exactly. Thank You for sticking up for Laci and her family.
He did it. Scott’s family are all entitled enablers who have done nothing but enable him his whole life. Scott will never admit to doing this crime as long as he has some sliver of hope that he will get out. He needs to confess and beg for mercy.
So he called and left that fake voicemail talking about it’s 2:15. 🤦🏾♀️
Of coz, replicated by the evil tht is Watts - they were both convinced the whole planet wld buy a dead cat and mistake it for a laptop. Plain old stupidity.
They both even went further with their genius selves. One went on & buried the family he was the last person to see alive, at HIS JOB and bloody Scott left his wife in the same water he claimed to have been in for hours. I mean, REALLY!? So smart. How did they even get caught with THT amount of genius thinking.
Absolutely no one states the time they are calling that is what phone memory and phone companies are for
Too bad she didn't answer her phone at 2:15, though. Or returned the call. Was it a landline?
Lol! I noticed that phonyness too.
@@krystalbowen3680 this was 20 years ago. Leaving a message on an answering machine, you'd typically say the time, that was normal.
Her body was found in the water where he went "fishing" omg so guilty
Nobody else was fishing and every other boater was on land that day because it was rough stormy weather. 🤨
Uhhhh EXACTLY
He went fishing instead of golfing because it was too cold? Right??? Makes sense. So warm out in the boat.
@@MaverickCadaverick and the lady who works there said it was cold and she remembered him
And after investigating those waters and their currents.
I'll never forget when Laci's baby, Connor, was found. Then Laci. We can be grateful for Amber Frye's courage. Those tapes help prove that he's a pathological liar/murderer.
I don’t even think her full body was found.
@@KenyanBunnie .. her body was found a few moths later while she was still pregnant
@@KenyanBunnie you're right. Due to the elements and the way she was dumped, some parts were still missing. Due to the same circumstances Conner was found separated from his mother.
Amber spent most of those tapes talking about her disappointment and broken heart. Very little was about Laci and Connor. She was more concerned with getting back at Scott than finding Laci. Those tapes show that he had an extramarital affair and uncovered the lies he told to cover it up. How did the tapes prove that he was a murderer though?
@@niterida380 agreed. You know more about it than I do. I just wanted to say, they did not mention any evidence in this video remotely worthy of convicting him. He may have done it, but if you don’t have the evidence it is unconstitutional to sentence. Obviously there is more evidence that I’m unaware of. I just wanted to reiterate that suspects are innocent until proven guilty.
Imagine the pain her mom and family must be feeling with this coming up again. Heartbreaking! Scott is where he belongs.
He is a narcissist he did it! Let’s just enjoy this second conviction
Waste of tax payers money! There is always the chance that his jury finds him not guilty.
I read a book about him after the trial.
When you read about his dad, and how the order of the day was “smile, fake it” in that family. All those kids are warped in one way or another.
It’s obvious he killed Laci and Connor.
I don’t put any stock in a death penalty decision in CA anyway.
He was going to sit in prison, probably the rest of his life.
As long as that devil isn’t out with human beings keep him in the hole.
@@cards0486 What book? I've read quite a few
He was the only person with motive no secret he didn’t want a baby and he was fishing in the same spot they were found
Is it just gossip, or did he get life insurance on Lacy right before this happened? I thought I heard that he did.
@@suzum.9713 I’m not sure about that I’ll see if I can find out
@@harpergrace5846 thanks!
@@suzum.9713 that's normal for people having a baby.
@@Preservestlandry Hmm, I don't know about that. We didn't get life insurance on ME, and I've had several children. Nor do I know of anyone who has done that.
But, he could have done it for those reasons.
Of course, if dad's the killler, the child wouldn't benefit.
GUILTY he's a waste of time and money!
Damn girl 😍
@@ANGELSURS ha ha ha lol
@@simcastpodvids just being honest 😎😆😘
This is ridiculous!
His sister in law is so delusional. Has no idea what she’s talking about.
Exactly. Thank You for sticking up for Laci and her family by clapping back at these nitwits.
He really gave a time in the voicemail..
Already setting the alibi!
Scott is very much guilty.
Yoooooo!!!! Listen in 2002 i was like everyone else, HES GUILTY!!! I saw an episode of snapped Notorious: Scott Peterson. Watching that episode in 2015 I hadn’t yet changed my mind. At approximately 15 minutes into the episode, the editors played that exact voicemail message. Mind you sooo far, I STILL think he’s guilty. When he mentioned the time, I SAID THE EXACT SAME THING AS YOU... it wasn’t until the end of that episode when I took an open mind about the case. After doing MUCH RESEARCH AND ENDLESS DOCUMENTARIES, I changed my mind.... I think that jury was DEFINITELY stacked against him. IRONICALLY the three jurors, According to their own testimony, who DID NOT SEE HIM AS BEING GUILTY AT ALL, WE ALL KICKED OFF OF THE CASE.... Seriously THINK ABOUT THAT!!!
Also, gotta remember that cell phones in 2002 weren’t as detailed as they are now in terms of documenting times of calls..
That sister in law is living in serious denial.
Let's not forget all the evidence against him. Nothing can change that.
THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE 🤦🏾♂️
This guy is still guilty!
Her poor family.
Scott did it. Look at his body language. A remorseful person shows emotion. He shows none. Doesn't exist for Scott
Exactly! One thing that monsters like him cant fake...genuine emotion.
BODY LANGUAGE!!! Really!!
Because he is not guilty, and they now have the proof. 100% innocent. He's going to be a rich man.
Showing emotion is not a sign of guilt
I met the guy in person while attending Cal Poly. I never knew this guy would be such a criminal!
The media definitely notified the actual killers where to drop the body. I think the wrong person has been convicted.
@@EmmaDee rest easy. They got the right guy.
@@EmmaDee Did you even follow the original investigation? He's 100% guilty and it's obvious. Many women did then and still do find him attractive and can't see him being evil but it is the reality. It just like men who see an attractive girl and see her as nice and innocent when the truth may be far different.
That's what everyone said about Chris Watts....
@@EmmaDee Ya right. That's why he dyed his hair and had a ton of cash.
He’s still as crazy and devious looking as ever.
Why would his death sentence be overturned? Oh silly me he's wt, killed his wife an unborn child and they're STILL trying to save his life. 🙄 Sick VIOLENT CULTURE
Its ok. Let him rot in prison. He won't get out.
12%/52%
Your mind is sick fix that first
@@alinag3831 She is just stating the facts.
#truth
Man and his sister has to deal with trying to prove a guilty man innocent for 20 years. sad. he destroyed many lives.
HOPE , HE NEVER GETS OUT ! 😡😡😡
RIP SWEET LACI AND CONNOR. 💗💗💗
*So Scott Peterson’s sister-in-law thinks that she’s Jessica Fletcher?!*
Lol
Nobody believes Scott because he killed his wife. Case closed.
Exactly. Thank You for sticking up for Laci and her family
The American justice system sucks. Full stop. 😡😠🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Pple need to stop. Sometimes I can't help but wish these pple who are busy torturing Lacey's family wld endure the pain of having someone they love murdered for no reason. THEN let's see them try to get the murderer of their loved one a new trial. Idiots
legally if there is new evidence that might change the case, then a new trial is warranted.
Why are we Spending More TaxPayers MONEY???? 😡
@@fjp9 did you watch the 48hours show last night? There's no new evidence. Everything they showed last night was covered in last trial, and/or is the same crap they've been talking for years now.
@@reneenayfabnaynay5679 no, i didn’t. i’m not saying there is or is not new evidence. all i’m saying is that “legally” if there is new evidence then a new trial is warranted. that’s it.
@@fjp9 they showed on 48hours that it's just the same old stuff they've been spouting for two decades. Nothing new, is all I'm saying.
Can’t stand him!!!!
Dang, he and Ben Afflec really do look alike - Ben is all I see every time they show a pic of Scott
Ben could come play Scott in a movie
He is guilty! Guilty! Guilty!
Exonerated! Ha! And then he woke up in his prison jammies! 😅🤣😂🤯
Haha so her body appears where he went fishing 😂😂 ya innocent
And oh yeah, scott murdered his wife and child...
Nope, he’s guilty and still lying about it.
Exactly. Thank You for sticking up for Laci and her family!
that voicemail alone is suspect and fake af he is GUILTYYYY
He did it
I believe that he KILLED HIS WIFE AND SON,Lacy was so excited about having the baby boy
The media was outside Scott’s house after lacy disappeared so how would they break into the home
Didn’t see your comment but I said the exact same thing
About 5 or 6 early in the morning.
His sister doesn't think he did it? That takes some SERIOUS denial. :/
Murderer guilty as charged and convicted.......................
We all cant be wrong; leave Scotty in, and let His Maker, meet him there.
He's a physco path and guilty as charged
Every time I see Amber Fry I just think to myself why.
Scott’s family being in denial for this long is sad. Psychopaths always have their loyal helpers.
Guilty. He is where he needs to be. He's probably consulting Casey Anthony
His sister in law needs to be in there With him
I agree.
Oh absolutely
I've seen the evidence she has and it's compelling. Definitely worthy of a retrial imo.
@@Kimber123 They're both crazy and he's a physcopath. And people are stupid to believe other wise
@@angelsrone I guarantee you I have more education than you. Maybe you shouldn't speak about things you know nothing about. You're just like the jurors who were relishing in convicting him, acting totally out of emotion. You must be a Democrat.
He's guilty! Rot is prison you evil man.
I sure do REALLY hate Scott Peterson. He makes me sick for what he did to that beautiful girl and her baby boy.
Put him in general population for a year, if he lives thru it, then consider a new trial.....see how funny things are then....
If Lacy doesn't get to enjoy life and watch her sweet baby grow up. Scott doesn't get to see the light og day.
I remember watching this case unfold as a child. It had a significant impact on me, and the memory of Laci’s death encouraged me to be a bit more selective in who I give my trust. Of course innocent people deserve their freedom, and there’s no doubt the media sensationalism impacted the case, but it would take some seriously and clearly exculpatory evidence to make me believe he’s innocent. We shall see.
How could he not have done this? They found those pliers with her hair and blood on them!!! The way he acted and lied!! I don't get how he could be innocent!!
The Bay has 11 species of SHARK! No wonder he traveled 90 miles to "FISH"
Hes a demon how can he be proven not guilty when hes guilty
Guilty as charged.
A pregnant woman, all alone, went up to burglars to confront them? Not just pregnant, but full term, about to deliver her baby pregnant, went to confront friggin robbers? She didn't call 911, or police, or her husband, or her parents, or even another neighbor, just took her overly pregnant self over to burglars and confronted them? Sure thing dude. Ask 10,000 pregnant women what they would do in that situation and you would be lucky if even 1 would do that. Smh. He killed her and he killed his son. The most deadly thing pregnant women face isn't a medical issue, it's their partner's.
What a waste of taxpayer money when people are unemployed and homeless. Typical CA!
Dude killed her.
This for nightmare for laci's family who lost their daughter and grandson
I'm sure the burglars didn't walk up the sidewalk in broad daylight, putting themselves out there to be seen. Oh sure a pregnant woman would engage in a burglary in progress. She would be more concerned about her baby and call 911.
But they were. They committed the crime in the daytime.
Me too❤️👍she was so filled with light. Just beautiful 🤩
The sister-in-law is like the Routier family they twist facts and gaslight supporters trying to prove he’s innocent. He’s guilty.
No Fear - You are 100% correct
I agree.
Omg, he killed her!!
His sister in law says she can prove he's not guilty. Well, you can't take all the evidence against him back lady. Also he could have cared less that Laci and the baby died. He called his girlfriend during a vigil for Laci, and you saw NO, NONE, ZIPPO bit of sadness on his face EVER. He just moved on like it was no big deal. Boy, thinking of this just makes my blood boil. He only cared about himself. If you were in love with someone else most people would be heartbroken that something happened to their wife and baby even if he didn't love Laci anymore. He seemed to be bothered by the questions put to him at the time. He's got a cold cold murderous heart.
He is just about as innocent as O.J.
Exactly:) GUILTY AS F---
Word
Exactly. Thank You guys for sticking up for Laci and her family.
Talk about salt on a wound
Robbers?? Day late and a dollar short with that one. Scott admitted to fishing, where her body was found. He did it! No doubts! He can have another trial and he will still be found guilty.
Tell me what Man goes fishing on Christmas Eve with a Wife at home ready to Deliver a baby any time ?? I love fishing myself but never on Christmas Eve. Covid has turned people completely FKNG INSANE.
I wonder if scott is related to what's his name that murdered 2 of his wives.
Michael Peterson
I always wondered if there was a connection because of the high priority media coverage and similar names, but never considered them being related.
Drew Peterson?
Drew Peterson yeh the cop. I think his second wife still missing she was like just out of high school when he married her, I wonder to if there is relation, but they not blood relatives but they do look alike.
@@amrose4214 Wow, just found out that Drew Peterson has a daughter named Lacy, born in 2005. WEIRD.
I remember this case so clearly because my birthday is on Christmas Eve. I gave birth to a son two weeks before she disappeared. I follow this closely for that reason. Could've been me. Eff him. Yeah, I'm 40.
I too remember this case like it were yesterday & WISH I were only 40 yrs old
That sister-in-law lady is so dumb. He did it, sweetie, stop wasting our time.
@@courtney2984 Exactly. His mom was caught on voicemail telling Scott to ‘Deny, Deny, Deny’. It’s recorded.
And with all her sticky notes...LOL and that little cutout clock in the middle...eye roll...
Scott called his wife's phone and left a message to create an alibi.
Guilty. Duh.
I just re-watched the video that the detectives were videoing Lacey and Scott’s house on December 26, 2002. As the detectives were walking and videoing and talking near and around the gate in the mailbox and going to the front window to look for evidence,There was no dog barking. Nine minutes into the video, as the detectives were on the side of the house where the cars were parked that belong to the Petersons, all of a sudden you hear the dog McKinsey barking. Janey petersons one theory saying that the mailman would always hear the dog barking when he would deliver the mail on the mailbox hanging from the gate. Why did the dog not bark when the detectives were filming and talking while videoing the house? We would have to go back prior to December 24, and look at how many times the mailman delivered mail but never heard the dog barking. Doesn’t mean the dog wasn’t home, the dog could have been home maybe the dog doesn’t hear the mailman every single time. Maybe the dog was sleeping, was outside farther in the back and couldn’t hear the mailman approach. I just don’t believe Scott sister-in-law has enough validity in her theory on this one.The mailman theory is just a theory they are assuming the dog wasn’t at home that day and was out walking with Lacey because the mailman didn’t hear the dog barking.
I like your name. Lady dee is my favorite tune.
Ridiculous! Burglars would’ve liked her there and then - not drowned her! Too much work and no random note. An aside... Why would GKing and colleagues be made to sit on that small, round platform where they could wheel right off the platform? What?
Hard to believe it has been almost 20 years
The journalist's act surprised Scott Peterson has supporters. I'm not, I figured as much. Chris Watts and Darlie Routier have support groups. Crazy world we live in.
Darlie is innocent
Another waste of money. The man is guilty. Typical narcissistic behavior. What a bunch of BS.
At first I thought humm but now.. I'm not sure maybe he didn't... Just because he is a narcissist doesn't mean he killed her. I think he was clueless .. I don't think he paid any attention to her whatsoever ever...
Wow 20 years ago
There’s no question that Scott Peterson is guilty af. Case CLOSED.
So what they saying a murderer is still out there.
Yep a murderer who kills 8 month along pregnant women bc he has a gf he is trying to hide he has a family from lol
That burgerly happened two days before!!
Michael peterson murdered his wife and drew peterson murdered 2 of his wives.
something about guys named peterson🤔
OMG, he is not innocent.
He’s 10000000000000% guilty. No question about it. Could u imagine your pregnant wife vanishing on Christmas Eve, coming up with those outlandish lies, cheerfully taking romantic phone calls from your mistress, WHILE AT THE VIGIL FOR YOUR MISSING WIFE AND SON. Even if you had fallen out of love, it seems to me that the affair you’re having and all the secrets pertaining to the affair would be minuscule, petty and insignificant next to THE FACT THAT YOUR WIFE AND SON HAVE VANISHED. But clearly not to him, he WALKED AWAY FROM THD CROWD OF PEOPLE DESPERATELY WANTING LACEY AND CONNOR TO BE FOUND ALIVE AND WELL, TO WISH HIS MISTRESS A HAPPY NEW YEAR. 🤮🤮 it will be a terrible injustice if he gets out of prison or even given the possibility to. 🖕🏻🤬
He killed her because he changed his mind about being a family he is cold hearted he know he killed her and his son
Something is off with Janey Petersen. Her BIL is guilty
She is in love with him. She married the wrong brother.
Scott tells Amber he lost his wife a couple of weeks before she went missing, and this would be his first Christmas without her.
On the day he said that to Amber he bought a secret boat no one knew about.
He also made five anchors, four of which were never recovered. The one that they did have, didn't match the cement in the driveway, which is where Scott said he'd used the rest of the missing cement, proven in court.
Laci didn't know about, nor had she ever been in the boat, yet, a couple of Lacis hairs were found, wound tightly in some pliers.
Agreed to take a lie detector test, but backed out after his father advised him not to.
Upon returning home, he immediately washed his clothes, ate, and took shower. After getting out of shower, instead of just calling Lacis cell phone one more time, he calls her mom and tells her Laci is missing.
He told, at least, three people he'd been playing golf, before finally sticking to the fishing story.
Speaking of fishing, Scott told the detectives that going fishing that morning had been a last minute decision. But, this was an obvious lie because he'd purchased a two-day fishing license dated for the 23rd & 24th, a few days before. Or, maybe he's just psychic, and predicted he'd be making that "last minute" decision!
When he took the detectives to his warehouse, he led them to believe the power was out, when the truth was, only his office in the warehouse had lighting, but the warehouse, itself, was only lit by a sky light during the day.
On the night of Dec 24th, the day Laci went missing, Scott was already inquiring about grief counceling for Lacis family. Really??? She's not even yet gone a full 24hrs! I've never heard of anyone doing that over someone being missing for only a few hours! It just seems like Scott knew she wasn't coming home.
The next day, Scott called the detectives asking them if they'd be bringing in and using cadaver dogs. She hadn't even been gone a full 24hours, and, he is inquiring about cadaver dogs! This was a huge red flag to the detectives working the case!
He sold Lacis car while still missing, before her body was found. And, inquired about selling their home before she was ever found too! He even wanted to sell it with all their furniture! Supposedly, he doesn't know if Laci is dead or alive, but has no problem selling her car and their home, with all their stuff in it?
He told lie after lie after lie. Of course the big, well known lie was when he called Amber from Lacis vigil. Right before, during, or after just doesn't matter, at all! His mistress should've been the last thing on his mind at any moment during that event.
When he did his Diane Sawyer interview, he was already refering to Laci in past tense. Another huge red flag!
It was well known he didn't want children, and wasn't thrilled about Laci being pregnate. Even telling his sister-in-law he was hoping for infertility. Laci telling her mom Scott wouldn't touch her belly to feel baby kicking.
He didn't participate in the searches for Laci, opting instead, to secretly go to the bay, park his car, and just watch the search that was going on in the bay.
Instead of showing grief about his wife being missing he, instead chose to flirt with his sisters baby sitter. Offering to make her drinks he called, "flirtinis". The baby sitter was so weirded out by Scott, she left!
In one of the recorded calls with Amber, Scott tells her that if the police find any evidence, he'd lose his freedom. Not a confession, but close enough!
Speaking of phone calls, authorities secretly wire tapped Scott's phone calls. They're even more telling than the calls with Amber for just how deceitful Scott truly is!
When the due date, of the birth of his missing baby came around, he didn't have a gathering of friends & family to remember Laci & Conner. No, he didn't do anything at all to remember them. And, that would've been fine, if he chose to do nothing, no problem. But, he DID choose to do something. Since that day was also Ambers Bday, Scott chose to celebrate it, by hiding a bag of jewelry and a CD, etc for Amber to pick up. It seems it was Amber he wanted to remember & honor, not his missing wife & baby.
When a body of a baby washed ashore, and then a body of a woman who had been pregnant washed ashore shortly after, within just a couple of miles from where he says he was 'fishing', he never even called anyone about it to see if it was Laci.
About a week or so later, he was caught trying to flee with just about everything he owned, BUT his golf clubs and golf shoes. I add that he didn't have his clubs & shoes because Scott tried telling the cops that he was just going to play golf, not flee! However, the list of things he had with him is just as long, if not longer than my list here of the evidence!
I could go on & on! I know there's more, but I'm drawing a blank on the rest. Can anyone else think of anything I've forgotten?
Okay so, one or two things on this list would be maybe a coincidence. three or four things --- sketchy, but okay.
All these things plus more --- he's guilty, guilty, guilty! And, I don't even have it all listed here.
