I suppose Scott could have poisoned Laci but it would have had to have been done with some other chemical and some posions do not remain in the body long or show up in an autopsy on "fresh" remains. In remains in the condition that Laci's are in it would be even iffier as to whether the autopsy could reveal them.

It's the supposition that Scott could have poisoned Laci that I've been overreaching for, prompted by the GHB leak and the reported "fact", (I think), that caffeine was found in her remains. That, coupled with the now-squashed rumor that there were traces of vomit in the mop, made me speculate that while maybe in the throes of being violently ill as a result of poisoning, SP took the opportunity to strangle her. Was just wondering if a cup of coffee or hot chocolate was seriously laced with poison. My speculation is probably worth zilch here. LOL

I think poison is probably something the investigators and pathologist have considered and looked for but in the best of circumstances, poison may be hard to find in an autopsy and considering the condition of Laci's remains...

I think the poison concept is worth consideration. I would like to know what other stuff ol Snotty Scotty worked with in the fertilizer business..such as arsnic (sp). Isn't that also hard to trace? I mention it only because I have seen other stories of murders or attempts at it where that was used and until the authorities got really suspicious, it was not considered before. Seems to me there is a lot of possibilities. I wish Greta would muzzle that janie gal who outshouts anyone else's opinion or idea. things in the news regarding Laci have been kinda quite today.

You're right--there WAS a story somewhere that said that. Forgot about it. But it was out there. Man, where did this guy get all the money?

Oh, yeah. I forgot again... selling Laci's jewelry?
