Yes! I thought of that sign, too!
But that sort of weakens my own interpretation of the sign. He phrased it a certain way, I thought, b/c he knew Laci was dead. But here we have him talking to/about Amber, the same way. But Amber's not dead. Yipes--did he have plans for Amber, too??
Translator's note: I think we can safely assume that when Scott says "everyone" or "everybody" he means "I". He talks about how "everyone who knows Amber" wants to be with her, not separated from her.
The extent to which he played mental games gives me chills.
He says, he was worried that something had happened to Amber because he hadn't talked to her that night. Well, he'd already talked to her twice. He got so concerned that he called Sibley and asked her about Ambers well being.
It makes me think that he was trying to plant thoughts that Ambers life could be in danger from someone like a phantom abductor. When confronted directly by Amber he denied this.
I think he was sitting outside her house watching her (instead of finding Laci) to know what kind of clothes she just happened to be wearing. He played the information off as a psychic experience in his mirror. Again trying to plant mental thoughts that he might be psychic to try to cover his A@@ for the statement- this will be the first X-Mas without her.
I feel sorry for Amber... I feel even more sorry for Laci I can't imagine what mental torchers he put her through even before he murdered her.
