Thank you imstilla.grandma……. Appreciate that information being collated and clarified. Considering it all brings back so any memories, mostly sad and tragic, of having followed this case all those years ago.

Sad also that this matter continues to proliferate with the latest on this IMO well settled case.

I also hope that the LA Innocence project had been able to review all of that material as well. In detail. MOO
 
I have to agree with @SoWhat. It is reductionist to accuse Laci's family of suspecting Scott of murder based on his romantic relationship with Amber.

The first suspicious point that Laci's family emphasized is that Scott phoned Sharon at roughly 5 P.M. on Dec 24, 2002 and announced that Laci is missing. He didn't ask whether they had spoken that day, or whether Laci was already at Sharon's house for the planned family dinner. He said "missing". When asked where he was that day, first he told people he was golfing, then he changed it to fishing. It was a long gradual process of supporting Scott, out of respect for Laci, to the understanding that Laci was not coming home.

After learning that Scott lied to them about having a girlfriend, they publicly stated that they could no longer support the liar.
Sharon Rocha wrote a book about Laci and what happened to her, I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t read it yet, especially people who think SP is innocent.

I read that book years ago. Sharon asked Scott what he was fishing for, and he said sturgeon. They are bottom feeders. It sounds like Scott thought it was funny to use Laci as bait for bottom feeders. There's some truth to every lie - very true with Scott.

Was there a chapter where she spent a long time in bed - very sad? She had a vision of Laci that helped her move forward.

A book summary is available here:
 
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.
IMO, Scott slipped up on the fishing alibi to the investigator. He already told someone he went golfing. Immediately after he told the investigator he went fishing, he brings up he was going to go golfing but decided against it (I think he mentioned weather for changing his mind, but I could be wrong). IMOO, he never had to say anything about his change of plans from golfing to fishing but he realized his mistake at that moment; so, he had to say he changed plans as he knew he had already told someone else he went golfing.
 
I believe he said it was to cold to golf. So wouldn't it be cold out on the water in a boat...
