Same here Jackie. I keep thinking of how this Christmas will be for Sharon. This will be the most heartwrenching time for that family. This time last year, Laci was busy preparing for a new baby and decorating her home, shopping for gifts etc. until her and her baby's lives were so BRUTALLY and cruelly snuffed out. It might just strike the Jurors odd that Scotty tried to sell their home within a week of her "disappearance" and he DID dump her car in mid January. He continued to phone his mistress and profess his love even from the Search centre. Talk about broadcasting your guilt.!! Even the death penalty is too easy or this guy. He ought to be weighted and drowned just like he did to his wife and son.

Scotty tried to sell their home within a week of her "disappearance"

An innocent person would be reluctant to leave the house in case their loved one showed up and couldn't get in.

Or if Scott had to leave for business purposes, he would have asked someone to stay in the house to wait for her, just in case.

Laci's keys were still in the house, as I recall... (Weren't they? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.)

On another forum, I read one family had waited thirty (30) years for their loved one to come home. They were afraid to sell the house, afraid the missing person wouldn't be able to find them.

Gosh it seems so long ago since the beginning of this case! I had forgotten how soon he was looking to dump that home and car. Trying to wipe out the memory of his wife and child....trying to clear himself to be with Amber by Jan 25!
All of the facts that you mentioned will have such an impact on the jury when presented in the opening statements, during the trial, and in closing. We have been discussing things in bits and pieces for a year now. I am anxious to get to the full presentation of ALL of the evidence...circumstantial as well as physical.
Your comments on what Laci was doing this time last year just made my heart sink. I can almost see her in my minds eye, cute as a button, great with child, baking cookies and wrapping presents. Putting the finishing touches on Connor's room. Breaks my heart, can't fathom the grief that is tearing at Sharon's heart right now.
I will be lighting many candles for the Rochas, Laci and Connor this holiday season.
