In the recording where he talks about selling the house, he says that he is looking to put it on the market ASAP because "there's no way if Laci comes back that we're going to stay there" That is a direct quote. He clearly, with his tone, indicates in this response that with everything that has happened, he would want them to move somewhere else, a different home, for a 'fresh start'. Turning the nursery into a storage room (which he didn't do, he just stored things there, he did not clear it out and make it a storage room, specifically) could have been his way of dealing with the missing/loss of his unborn child. Distracting himself from the room and starting to use it for something else. People handle grief and extreme emotion in a myriad of ways.
Scott told the authorities directly where he was fishing. Why would Scott, if he was the murderer, tell police exactly where he was fishing, knowing that is where he disposed of her body and knowing that they would put two and two together? A murderer isn't going to tell police they were in basically the exact same area/waters where they disposed of a body. Scott was honest with them about where he was fishing and his location because he didn't murder her and he wasn't the one that disposed of her body.
I don't know how your last points are circumstantial evidence. Scott said he watched the Martha Stewart program with Laci and it was proven that the topics on the program, about the meringue that he tells investigators about, were in fact what that episode was about on that date. He could have easily gotten up with Laci that morning and took part in her morning and what she was doing before he left.
Scott's defence changed with the wind. Laci was wearing black tights, or tan pants. The van was white, tan or brown. Laci was abducted by burglars, satanists, or satanic burglars. Scott knew that Laci wanted him to sell her vehicle and house, or he was moving on after murdering her.
Scott reported that Laci was wearing black tights and a white t-shirt on the morning of Dec 24, 2002. Many people came forward to say that they knew Laci, and they saw her walking her dog that morning. That was Scott's proof that Laci alive on Dece 24. When Laci was found, she was wearing tan pants. That's a problem.
Scott's theory had to change. She walked the dog, went home, changed her clothing, and then she confronted the burglars. They abducted her. Their van was white, no tan, no, it was brown.
The burglars were satanists who were known to perform rituals at the Berkeley Marina. Laci confronted the burglars, rather than phone police, they decided to abduct Laci to perform a satanic ritual at the Berkeley Marina. After hearing Scott's alibi, they put the bodies in the marina. Mystery solved.
"DAVID MATTINGLY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Anderson, for weeks now we've been hearing from the defense team for Scott Peterson that theory that they floated that Laci Peterson was abducted and murdered by a satanic cult.
Turns out that theory dates back to a report made to Modesto police in December, on December 28, four days after Laci disappeared.
CNN has obtained the document revealing how a sexual assault counselor told police that a woman claimed she had been raped by two men and two women in a brown van. As part of this rape, the woman told the counselor a satanic ritual was conducted. And the group said something about a Christmas Day death, and that she would read about it in the paper."
"ABRAMS: You have an whole chapter about satanic activity and the neighborhood. You quote from satanic manual, et cetera. You investigated and spent a lot of time working the whole satanic angle.
DALTON: I know from my investigation that several of these satanic cults were found in the Berkeley area. I know from my investigation that seven pregnant women have suddenly disappear in that area. That's an incredible number of people, of pregnant women, to disappear over a three-year period in that general area. That's incredible."
