Here's something else that troubles me:

I'm a subscriber to the 2-trip theory, the idea that Scott made one trip to the Bay in the dark of night, and the second one, the one we've all heard about, during the day. I was thinking that the body was dumped, of course, during the first trip.

But there are various stories: Supposedly a "burglar casing the neighborhood" saw Scott doing something suspicious near/at the house, at about 3-3:30 on the morning of the 24th. Then we hear that a truckdriver saw Scott towing the Gamefisher near Berkeley, at 3-something on the morning of the 24th. Then, that some man near Berkeley saw (from afar) Scott messing around with something alongside his boat, at 3-something on the morning of the 24th. We have definitely heard that Mrs. Medina across the street thinks there were 2 vehicles in the Peterson driveway at 5:00 a.m. on the 24th--though she didn't say whether one of them was Scott's truck.

I can't reconcile all this stuff. I don't know; maybe she really was killed not long at all after the 8:30 phone conversation. This would have him doing his dirty work much earlier on the evening of the 23rd. (After all, it WAS dark early.)
