I am extremely curious as to why Scott was arrested Oct 13??? It doesn't say why it just says that he was arrested and then he bonded out!! I wonder if it has anything to do with this case???

He got a DUI.

ETA: That's what Jared is telling people, anyway. Just wanted to be clear.

He got a DUI.

Although a DUI is possible, it doesn't say anything about any reason why. All it says is that he was arrested and he bonded out and thats it. So the question remains open to me...

Who's Jared? I missed that.

 

[mmleikam]

Who's Jared? I missed that.

He's a friend of Scott's. He's the one who is taking over Acousti right now.

I know what it says. I read it when the person on page 9 mentioned his arrest on the 13th. You asked the question and I thought I'd tell you what Jared is telling people.

If you want to know, get ahold of the Keith County newspaper...it won't name his name until it goes to court, but it'll say his age and that he's a Perkin's county resident and why he was arrested. Since it happened on the 13th, it might be in yesterdays paper or tomorrows paper. The blotters tend to run late in the Ogallala paper.

I'll try to find out tonight if it was in yesterdays paper. If not, I'll find out tomorrow night if it's in Wednesday.

why is this anything to do with what the blog is about? To me it means nothing to do with the crime that was committed.

I think you read my post wrong, but let me explain it to you as simply as I can.

Scott was arrested on the 13th. A friend of his told a friend of mine that it was DUI. The arrest is public record, however WHY he was arrested isn't on the internet right now, however it WILL be in the Keith County newspaper because regardless of where he was arrested (whether it's Perkins County of Keith County), he would be in jail in Keith County because Perkins County doesn't have a jail.

Now, djkbs0416 was wondering WHY he was arrested. I explained that Scott's friend told my friend that it was DUI but djkbs0416 wants to know for sure. Therefore, I was explaining to djkbs0416 that if they check the KC News they will find out what the arrest is for because djkbs0416 is wondering if it has to do with the case.

Maybe I shouldn't have said Jared's name. Big whoopdeedo. I just figured since djkbs0416 knows so much about Corrie and Scott, djkbs0416 should know who was saying what.

As for thinking about whether I'd want someone talking about me or my life...first of all, I've lived in two seriously gossip-y towns and I have no problem with people talking about me, even if they have no idea what they are talking about. I've grown up around it and could care less. Secondly, anyone could find out who I am and talk about me...I haven't exactly tried to hide my identity. If you're from Ogallala, it's pretty obvious who I am. If you're from Grant, maybe not so much because I'm not well known around here, but my husband is.

Anyway, unless you are Jared, then I don't see what your problem is. But what I was replying to had EVERYTHING to do with the people involved in this case.

 

[STEADFAST]

This is what I am wondering about at this point:

What were Scott and Corrie arguing about at the bar? Was it something trivial (like what to order) or something big (like finances or jealousies)?

Was it unusual for them to leave separately?
Who left first? Did that one storm out or just leave quietly?

Did Corrie really get a ride home with a female friend? (I only ask because the Crimestopper announcement says it's not known whether she was last seen in her friend's car, in her car, or in Scott's car.) Did she leave again once she got home?

Was the house Corrie stayed in that night the new house or the old house?

Where did Scott go after leaving the bar? Did he stay at his destination all night?

What is the deal with the "flurry" of calls Corrie made to Scott? Did she make them before or after she got home?
Why didn't he answer them?

What is the deal with the calls between the female friend and Scott? Did they even occur?

Why could the first responders not tell Corrie had been beaten to death? What did her friends try to launder off the sheets? What else did they clean or straighten? Have the police ever picked up those sheets that were eventually thrown away? Is it true that the wounds indicated they were produced by a female?

Why did Scott tinker with Corrie's MySpace after she died? Do we know that he did indeed tinker with it? What exactly did he do?

Why did Corrie's family not allow Scott to attend the funeral?

Is there any suspicion surrounding Scott's ex-wife? Any suspicion surrounding the female friend? Anybody in the community acting hinky since Corrie was murdered? Was there any insurance money involved?

I know that most of these questions can't be answered at this time. I just hope they can be cleared up by LE in the future.

Very good questions Steadfast, now if there will be reponses to these vs the bantering back and forth.. starting to appear to be one's from different sides of the "camp". Sure there is probably more than 1 person that knows the truth behind what happened that night. Hope there are some answers soon. Also I was under impression Corrie's family ran and or owned the business, curious how Scott's friend took it over? Where is her family and their perpective as to resoving this very sad case?

Hmmm . . . I hadn't heard that about the business.
I've never seen a case with so little news coverage.

 

[NSC]

Great questions steadfast!! I can't believe how little coverage this case has been getting. I feel terrible for the family.

I think we are about ready with the letter to Greta... stand by for the letter for those that offered to help!

I also think it is strange that the construction company is being run by a friend - and it is confirmed that it is NOT in Scotts name. I don't have any further details on it except there is a search that you can run and the company is listed out of one of the bigger cities in NE.

Corrie and Scott owned Acousti, but as far as I know, it was Corrie's family's money that made it what it was. The business was both of theirs (co-ownership between Corrie and Scott) but without Corrie's money, it wouldn't exist. My husband's boss has used Acousti to pour concrete for his business so he knows Scott pretty well. According to him, Scott has lost A LOT of business because of this (which makes sense...who wants a potential murderer anywhere around you or your business name, right?) Anyway, I guess Acousti had like 9 employees before this happened and now they're down to 2. Because Scott's so messed up over Corrie's death (why he is messed up is pure speculation, but because of other things I've heard, I'm beginning to bet it's guilt that's eating him up) he has let someone else run the business for the time being.

I just want to make it clear that my husband has told me this, who heard it from his boss and also from the guy running Acousti for now. So take it for what it's worth...a grain of salt...since it's not from Scott's mouth.

I was wondering if you could provide a link? I did a search as well and only came up with three links for Acousti Construction. Two were basically for one site but it listed Acousti out of Grant. The other was out of Lincoln, but I searched Yellow Pages for it and there wasn't a listing for a phone number or anything.

Also, I'm interested in sending the letter to Greta if you want to send me a copy of it.

I can answer some of the questions posted by Steadfast. Most information is from just sitting around quietly, listening, and trying to put together the facts and throw out the bull. There are some very conflicting stories going around, some from the same people that seem to change the story to suit their fancy. Why one would do that except to make it a little more, shall we say "Spicy", which in itself very sad. Law Enforcement has enough to do working with the facts and does not need to spend time running down rumors and statements made just to "Stir the Pot".

Who left first? Did that one storm out or just leave quietly?

Corrie left the bar first with the female friend she had asked to take her home. Apparently left quietly very inebriated. It is not known if she left again once she got home.

Was the house Corrie stayed in that night the new house or the old house?

Corrie was found at the old house.

What is the deal with the "flurry" of calls Corrie made to Scott? Did she make them before or after she got home?
Why didn't he answer them?

We have the two different opinions based on hearsay of how many calls were made. Basically the same time frame, within a minute or two and either 9 or 10 calls. I have a tendency to believe the information had to come from an employee of the Cell co. I don't know the provider for their service but do know the info could not have come from someone looking at the bill. Uncompleted calls do not show as they are not billable. They are however able to be seen by employees looking at the call log on the Providers system. (Generally used for billing discrepancies and trouble shooting.) I don't know what kind of phone she had but mine will only show the number called one time in the call log if I try more than once by using redial. If the call is answered each time, it will show each call. This leads me again to think the info was given out by an employee, IF it was give out. I also have heard rumors that did in fact happen and the employee has been dismissed.

Why could the first responders not tell Corrie had been beaten to death? What did her friends try to launder off the sheets? What else did they clean or straighten? Have the police ever picked up those sheets that were eventually thrown away? Is it true that the wounds indicated they were produced by a female?

First indications did not show anything out of the ordinary. Hind site by everyone now says it should have been treated differently, (as stated in one of your earlier posts on how to handle a death) There were apparently no open wounds or bruising. We have no information about where the head trauma was, front or back, only Blunt Force, to the head and body. Again I am wondering why the friends were so quick to launder the sheets. I also wonder how they found out so quickly as they arrived while the police were still there. Who called who to give them the news????? As I have stated and someone else has stated, dying is seldom clean, so washing body waste off the sheets would be my guess. I am assuming, and I emphasis assuming, the state patrol has the sheets and probably some other "Stuff" we know nothing about. I also wonder if there were any photos taken before the body was removed. If the EMTs did what they are trained to do, the body might have been moved anyway. It is not up to the EMT to decide dead or alive. No matter what your personal opinion of the circumstances or the state of person you are called to assist, you start life support or life saving measures and keep it up until someone with the authority tells you to stop. In this case it would have been the Coroner. As far as the female sized wounds, since there were no open wounds, how could anyone tell that at the time it was stated? Possibly the state crime lab has some answers to what actually caused the death, meaning brain bleed, internal injuries, or whatever, and what might have caused those particular injuries. That has yet to be released. So----, I think that was started just to point a finger or cause some discontent.

Any suspicion surrounding the female friend?

She has been questioned, but not held for anything. I don't know how many people have been questioned or how many times, but do know she was called or taken in. As far as I know there has been no one held for anything pertaining to this crime.

Anybody in the community acting hinky since Corrie was murdered?

People are naturally upset and a little jumpy. "Kinky"? I don't know as I would call it that. The town is full of strangers, as has been for some time. The whole summer we have had roofing crews, pipe crews, natural gas crews, and now harvest crews staying in town. Strangers walk the streets all the time as they are on a crew of some sort and don't have their own vehicle to get around with. People are getting used to seeing strangers walking all the time so might account for no one paying much attention to someone out and about. We are a small, trusting town, so it might be tough to get people to remember details even if something was seen that night.

Thank you very much for your answers, PC!
You know, until I read your last paragraph about lots of transient workers and strangers being in town, I would have said that there is a 90% chance Scott did it. That's just how this stuff usually works out. Hadn't realized the town was full of who knows who.
Just hope they managed to get some good forensic evidence, despite the cleaning.

I was wondering if you could provide a link? I did a search as well and only came up with three links for Acousti Construction. Two were basically for one site but it listed Acousti out of Grant. The other was out of Lincoln, but I searched Yellow Pages for it and there wasn't a listing for a phone number or anything.

Also, I'm interested in sending the letter to Greta if you want to send me a copy of it.

I can't link what I have but the business was not in his name. I did see the search on it being in Lincoln - thanks for clarifying that, I was on my way out when I made my last post and didn't have time to re-search for it again. You can call the court house and see that he filed for Chapter 13 bankrupcy while he was incarcerated. A bank most likely will not give a loan to an individual with a chap 13 filing within 10 years until it is off their credit report.

Pokerchips, thanks for the info! :blowkiss:

Does anyone know if Scott has been asked to take a Polygraph test?? Or if anyone related to the case has been asked to take one??

I suppose it may have been entirely Corrie's, but she self proclaimed herself co-owner on her MySpace page. It's since been deleted, but that's where I partially got my information. I also think I read somewhere in one of the newspaper articles that she was co-owner, but I could be wrong about that. I'd have to look around to be sure.

I'm a little confused about Acousti in Lincoln. If Corrie's divorce was finalized in May and she and Scott started dating shortly after that or even before her divorce was finalized, I don't see how they would have known each other while he was in Lincoln. She wouldn't have been behind that Acousti, I don't think. So I wonder if that Acousti is something he had on the side when he lived in Lincoln or if it's just a company with the same name. :waitasec:

I know it's always possible that they did know each other, since she was from Imperial/Grant and he has family here in Grant. I guess I'm trying to tie it all together because it's really strange about the two companies - one in Lincoln and one in Grant.

ETA: I have since been corrected about the length of time they were dating. I was a little confused.

What was the address in Lincoln? let me cross check it on something -- I am working on something else right now..
