My questions remain:
Why would Scott call ER services if he had done something to Corrie (being a felon and knowing he could be a prime target). Could he be so dumb to think that he could have beaten upon her and that would not be noticed after the fact in autopsy? I suppose that is possible (in a really tweaked head, one that thought all people were really blind, but Scott DID say he was guilty of the felonies for which he was convicted, which does not indicate someone trying to blow things past people - how many incarcerated people ADMIT what they did), but I just don't quite get that impression of Scott. Whether Scott had or had not beaten upon Corrie, the situation seems that it would have driven a guilty man OR even an innocent man to run, but Scott did not run, he called for help. How does this fit in? Could Scott possibly be the kind that would think he would get away with something like this? Or is it possible that he was NOT going to abandon Corrie in her time of need, when something had happened to her, despite what it could cost him.
I would still like to know more about the circumstances for which Scott was incarcerated, perhaps this could enlighten us some. Was Scott pushed beyond sanity to do what he did to get incarcerated? Can this help us to understand this man, and that of which he may or may not be capable? Sure, we can all go berzerk in a domestic situation, but some people just pack and leave.
Where is the mother of Scott's child, what type of woman is she, where was she that night? Could she have been waiting to get back at a woman who her son was calling "mommy?" Or did she have a relative who was willing to take care of that for her?
Falling... Is there any chance that the blows to head and body were suffered by a fall? I know that a garage door coming down on someone's head can cause brain injury, and could cause a person to fall and take bruising (blows to the body). I'm not looking for excuses, I'm looking for the truth.
Another question... How experienced is the person who did the autopsy? Is this a "funeral director" or a "medical expert"? There was a case not long ago where it was obvious that the person who was doing the autopsy really didn't have much expertise.
Does anyone know if the rumor about Scott getting a DUI that night is true? What is the further information on this? Was he taken in and booked, then released, and when?
Hmmm, mmleikam, you wrote:
>>Say she was going to dissolve Acousti Construction. Everyone knows it's her and her parents money that made Acousti Construction what it is. So is she was going to dissolve it, perhaps that'd be motive to kill her. But right now, there hasn't been a motive that could place Scott there, so until there is one, I'm going to assume Scott is innocent.<<
Also, husband of mmleikam, you wrote:
>>I am mmleikam's husband, I know scott on a personal level and I also know the friend on a personal level. I knew Corrie when she was married to her ex. Scott didn't do it, an argument is not motive enough, the friend couldn't do it she is a talker not a fighter. The ex also couldn't of done it he isn't the type. all of you people need to find a new suspect. I have my own theory, I think Scott's ex should be looked at. She has the motive, I am struggling with the opportunity though.
First of all mmleikam and husband of mmleikam, I appreciate your input here and encourage you to continue to contribute. I would let you know that as a long time member of WS that it is sometimes far too easy to get offended in here at times, but many of us old timers try not to do so and just look at the facts, working through them. That could be very hard for the two of you who certainly have some personal emotional/mental involvement/investment in both Corrie and Scott and others who you know who are being looked at. A small and gentle reminder to try not to "wear your feelings on your shirtsleeve," as my mom used to say, and I know it is not so easy to avoid. It is helpful just to look at things rationally.
Either this was an accident OR someone is guilty of murder. If it was murder (intentional or not), someone is guilty, whether we want to believe it of them or not. But WHO? (if not an accident?)
As per motive, I think that I have learned that it is not important to prove motive in a murder case. If Corrie was murdered, and I await the results of the autopsy to make that a bit more clear whether the autopsy shows that she was (instead of an accident of some sort), motive is not necessary to prove, I don't think -- though it can be helpful in convicting someone.
mmleikam, you wrote:

Scott WAS there (alongside Corrie when she was dead or dying), "he" called for help, he doesn't need to be "placed" there, he WAS there. Motive doesn't have to put him there, he WAS there.
BTW, is there anyway that we can get an audio of the 911 call or the call for help? This "might" help us if we could get this. Perhaps the local paper could get a copy of this and put it online.
Motive... going to his home, being there and full of emotions, having had too much to drink perhaps and being out of control, being there and filled with anger for whatever reason, any of the latter could play in to motive, but let's forget motive for the moment. SCOTT was there, so he had the opportunity... Those who care for and defend Scott may not like this, but he did have the opportunity to take Corrie's life. But did he do something to take her life or did he arrive after an accident or someone else injured her?
Did Scott make some major enemies within the last year or so? How about Corrie, working alongside Scott? Did anything go wrong in that Acousti business lately?
And, BTW, mmleikam, I don't think that any of us knew that it was Corrie and her parent's money who are said to have made the Acousti business what it was until you mentioned it. Thanks for that mention... And upon whose toes might the Acousti business have stepped in the last year, anyone's?
Husband of mmleikam, thanks for stepping in. In murder cases, alibis are important, and typically those who know injuries and how they progress toward death can often pinpoint when those injuries might have been received. So, despite whether we want to think that Scott, or the girlfriend who drove Corrie home, or Corrie's ex might have hurt her, do we have an alibi for where these people were from X-Y time? It would be very good if alibis could clear all of these people, but I don't know if this is possible, because I don't know Corrie's injuries, nor when they were thought to have been received, nor where these people were during the time she left the bar (where many saw her) and the time that Scott found her and felt to call for help.
If Corrie's death was caused by someone, we ALL want to see justice for Corrie, her family and friends. If Corrie was injured in an accident or by happenstance, I know we all want that resolved with no mystery lingering.
