So there are a couple of new documentaries regarding the murder of Laci and Conner… he’s been trying to prove his innocence.
Anyone watch? If you thought he was guilty does this change your mind?
I still feel like he is guilty. There are some things that were brought up that could be considered but I think they are grasping on anything.
I could be wrong… but he did way too much by lying, tons of money and drugs found in his car, changing his looks, etc. and although this means nothing his smug look he always has. Blech.

I watched the Netflix one. It’s more from Laci’s side and Scott did not participate in it.
The part that got me was at the end where her friends said they had no idea anything was wrong in Laci’s marriage/life. Since her death, they said they all make sure at least one person in the group knows what’s going on in their lives. They never want to be blindsided like that again.
Scott is 100% guilty. Nothing would change my mind.
The Peacock documentary is more from Scott’s side and I’m not planning to watch it.

I know he was seeing another woman, Amber. Didn’t he tell her that his “previous” wife was dead? And he was calling her after it was public knowledge that Laci was missing? These stupid men who murder their wives after meeting another woman, why can’t they just divorce? Is it because of money? Or because they are so sure they are smarter than anyone else and will get away with it?

Yep he was still seeing her after. She lived in another city and wasn’t aware of it at first. He would also call saying he was in oversea cities.. like London or Paris. By that time she found out and immediately talked to the police and then taped their calls. |

The way he piled junk into the nursery, I felt literally sick.
I think the most compelling piece is where their bodies were found and where he said he went fishing. Also the day he bought the boat is the exact day he told Amber his wife was gone.
Good documentary, it’s called American Murder. Worth watching even if you know the case

There's no doubt in my mind that he is guilty. I watched one documentary last year that presented some other evidence that was supposed to support his innocence but it didn't change my mind.

From the moment I heard the recorded call he made to Amber Frey from the candlelight vigil for his missing pregnant wife and told her he was celebrating New Years Eve in Paris on a work trip and had a bad phone connection, I knew he was guilty as hell.
"I'm near the Eiffel Tower and the New Year’s celebration is unreal. The crowd is huge." What an idiot!!

I watched the Netflix doco and it just confirmed what I always thought - that Scott was guilty as heck. He lied about everything, even giving two versions of where he was the day she disappeared. He had a girlfriend on the side he was lying to, his reaction to her being missing was odd. I understand his family not wanting to believe he did it - I can't imagine how I'd think if one of my SiLs went missing, but I know I wouldn't want to believe my brother did it. But after all this time, with all the evidence discovered?  He kept saying she was “lost” I couldn’t figure out what he kept saying that. Weird. I didn't think that was weird - he kept saying 'I lost my wife' which is not an uncommon way of phrasing that she had died, at least in my world. What was weird was him saying that 2 weeks before she went missing, and (it just sticks in my head) the day he bought the boat that he used to dispose of her. |

I’m convinced he is guilty. He does nothing but lie lie lie.
But I have to say that his MO & how/why the cops said they were on to him right away were all habits of my ex.
The whole weird way he acted when the cops came like putting something under them as they sat at the table to write etc. We were watching the news and the officer listed the “suspicious” things and I said to the husband, I guess you better hope no one ever kills me because they would suspect you right away those are all your habits. Little did I know at the time so was the lying & cheating his habits as well.
It’s not the stupid things that the officer got suspicious over that makes me think he’s guilty, it’s the things the other woman recorded. She basically ended the reasonable doubt by recording him.

Of course he's guilty. I'm not sure whether I want to watch either documentary - Laci's or Scott's. The whole thing is just so disturbing to me, to think there are such heartless men in this world.

I’m watching the new (?) documentary on Netflix. Modesto is my hometown and i know the area where they lived well, so I have always been invested. I think he did it.

I was PG with my DD when Laci and Connor passed, so I followed their story as it unfolded, and thought about her case a lot over the years. That baby should have been in his senior year of college had he lived  |

I cannot believe its been 22 years! I was shocked at how fast that has gone by. |

Although I am someone that has always been intrigued by true crime, dating back to original Unsolved Mysteries days. |

I was newly pregnant with my oldest when she was killed. Her story was always so sad and tragic to me.
He is 100% guilty. I started the new Netflix doc but I honestly stopped halfway through the second episode. It was more of the exact same nonsense.

I watched the Netflix one. I learned nothing new. Everything says he is guilty. And I don't care how much you love your family member. If they are guilty they are guilty. His sister and SIL are naive.

I watched that, too, and really couldn't believe anyone would ignore all the evidence pointing to Scott. Sure, there was a burglary across the street essentially at the same time, but Scott's alibi was driving his new boat (that no one knew he had bought) to the bay where the bodies were eventually found.  TBH, I think he was a serial killer just getting started. I mean, if he didn't get arrested he would have had to take care of Amber. She could never meet his family without learning about Laci and realizing the overlap of their relationship. He couldn't risk leaving her alive to possibly go to the police once she put things together. One piece of evidence that I didn't know about until this new documentary was the homemade anchors that he made. And the one in the boat didn't have a rope attached. |

Wasn’t there another girlfriend or something years before that died or was killed? I may be getting that mixed up from another case. I remember Laci though and thought he was such a creep and guilty as all get out.
ETA. Ok the previous wife girlfriend must be another case.

The burglary scenario didn't make any sense, especially after the bodies were found. What would be the chances that burglars would dispose of her body right where Scott had been on the day of her disappearance? They'd have been far more likely to dump her in woodlands or a ravine. |

I’ve only watched the Peacock documentary.
So, we are to believe it was just a coincidence that Lacey and Connor’s bodies washed up in the exact area he claimed to have been fishing that day?

I wasn’t going to watch the Netflix documentary, because I thought it was disrespectful to Sharon. Once I saw she was part of it, I felt better about watching it.
I live in the area where it all took place, so it is still painful. My next door neighbor had bee married to Laci’s aunt and had spent many holidays with them. At first he refused to believe Scott could do such a thing because he was such a wonderful guy. Down to earth and such a part of the family.
Steve Jacobson lived 2 doors from us in the other direction. He was the sheriff detective who placed the phone recording devices on Amber’s phone.
I am friends with Rick Distaso and his wife. He never talked about anything to do with the case from the beginning. Being the ADA on call that, Rick had to go out to Lac’s house on Christmas Eve. I remember vividly how the preparation for the trial affected their family. Their boys were still young and Rick ended up pretty much living in Oakland in the months up to the trial. Rick has moved from the trial and doesn’t really like to talk about it. He is a judge in family court now.
I knew from the get go Scott was guilty. It still hurts my heart. Sharon lives close to a friend of mine now.
