Am I missing something?


So Scott disposed of the bodies in the bay and they turned up, meanwhile weeks earlier he had told detectives he went fishing out in the bay the day Laci disappeared....

Obviously he killed Laci and baby Conner, the question is why on earth would he admit to it so early on in the investigation?

reply

Where did you hear that he admitted it???

reply

Admitted to fishing in the bay.

reply

That was his cover story for why he was in the bay. If detectives uncovered that he lied about being at the bay, that would throw even more suspicion on him. Best not to create too big a web of lies.

reply

That's right. He had his story mapped out ahead of time.

What he didn't plan on is the bodies washing ashore.

This guy was an idiot. The cops start combing the bay, looking for Laci (because they never believed his BS). ANd what does he do? He keeps showing up at the bay to check out the activity. Then, if I remember correctly, he sells her car. Yeah, and I think he added a bunch of porn channels to his cable subscription - even while knowing he was being watched like a hawk.

Complete moron.

reply

I believe they say he is a clinical sociopath. So he may not understand how the normal brain works.

There are idiots who still think he's innocent:

I appreciate the link, but one will not even bother.

He's guilty. He did exactly what he was accused of.

Just like The Menendez Brothers, just like Pamela Smart, just like OJ Simpson, just like one of the two Ramsey parents.....

reply

The Ramsey's are completely innocent.

Don't even try it.

reply

Not quite. I'm heading out so unfortunately I can't get into this right now.

Some quick thoughts.....

Although I do not know exactly what happened that night - I'd bet my life on two things - Patsy wrote the note, there was no intruder.

I believe, although I could be wrong, it was Patsy from start to finish with John figuring it out the next day.

And forget about Burke, he was questioned that morning by a seasoned detective and cleared. No 9 year old could have pulled that off.

It is possible John did it - its not what one believes, but it is possible. Thus I said ....

" just like one of the two Ramsey parents....."

Ok, I have to go now, cheers.

reply

John did it all. Semen was found on the sheets obviously not Burke or Patsy, the Wednesday underwear had been changed, only John and Patsy knew where a clean pair was, in the same room she was discovered, and John wrote the note to convince Patsy and Burke to leave while he got rid of the body.
But Patsy called 911 instead of Lockheed Security like an executive should and blew the plan. That's why you hear John hang it up so abruptly on the tape. Still not sure why Jon Benet had to be killed since he had abused her in the past but something must have gone wrong.

reply

Well, you are entitled to your beliefs. I don't agree, but you are certainly entitled.

I can make a good counter-argument, but there really is no point. I can't prove my theory.

Which is why this case never went to court. You can theorize till the end of time, you can't prove any of it.

The bottom line is you may be right, I may be right. We'll never know.

Ok, thanks for the reply.

reply

Okay, I didn't expect you or anyone to read the link or take it seriously. I was giving proof that there are revisionist idiots.

The Menendez Brothers are another case. I don't give a rat's ass if their father molested them. You don't kill your mother over it and then party with her money.

reply

Well for whatever it's worth......

I think the entire sexual molestation story is nonsense. It never, ever came into play until the lawyers got involved.

I believe Erik and Lyle did what they did for one reason and one reason only, $.

They were complete, unmotivated, criminal failures. The parents had it with both of them. They threatened to cut them out of the Will.

Soon thereafter the plotting began.

reply

He has never admitted killing them. Pay attention.

reply

Never said that, I meant admitted to fishing in the bay.

reply

I never heard this before (although I don't pay a lot of attention to crime stories...)

Police revealed in Face to Face with Scott Peterson they recorded more than 29 hours of phone calls between [Amber] Frey and Scott.

I don't know what is this "Face to Face With Scott Peterson."

reply

Scott thought he was a lot smarter than he is. It's that simple.

reply

Ditto

reply

For me the main question is why he did it. Back in the day I thought he decided to kill his wife and unborn child so he could run away with his mistress/lover/whatever Amber, but obviously that was not the case. I have some annotations here:
1. Did he have more than just ONE lover? Another one enough to make him kill Laci and Conner?
2. Did Amber ever notice the mark of the ring in his left ring finger? He lives in Modesto, a sunny-weathered town most of the year. There should be an untanned ring mark.
3. Laci's mother said there was something wrong with him. Something "off". OK. What was that?

reply

I thought it was pretty obvious.

First of all, he wanted to be a player. Not so much a case of doing it for Amber Frey - more a case of getting rid of the ball and chain.

And for him, the ball and chain was about to get real heavy. A baby was soon on the way. I don't think he wanted a child. And, if he told the truth, he'd admit the primary reason is he didn't want to be saddled with child support payments. He got rid of both problems at the same time.

I don't think it's much of a stretch to say this guy was "off". Look at what he did......

reply

I thought they never found her?
