I've watched a few deep dive podcasts and television true crime shows about this case and, to me at least, Scott absolutely did this. There is so many other things that Scott tried to pull off or cover up in regards to his actions leading up to poor Laci going missing

Thank you SOOO much for mimicking Nancy Grace rather than showing her. She has a brash, loud, obnoxious voice that ruins ALL atmosphere you establish in your videos. Good call!

I actualy think that he was the one to do it. What he did with the body looks like the perfect way to get rid of someone. Unlucky for him that the fetus and the body washed up, having that not happened, he would prob still be out there with his new fiance. This case resembles the Michael (forgot the last name) that got killed by the best friend and the the widow married his best friend. Shame nonetheless. Great video as always.

If I was wrongly accused of killing a loved one, I would not dye my hair and flee. I would get a lawyer and fight for my rights and the rights of my loved one to have justice. There is nothing about satanists (who are usually just killers who blame satan rather than people killing in a satanic ritual) removing body parts but really nothing about them really existing either. LeVey Satanists are all about free love and no rules. It’s really rather theatrical. People found worshipping satan are often kids who are just confused (combing satan, pagan and Christian imagery) in their idiotic drawings. The letter writer sounds like a nut. Bet he was all over the McMartin preschool satanic panic thing too. That turned out to be completely bogus but it ruined lives. Thinking this is satan and not Peterson (or at least a plain old murderer) is insane. Peterson was no doub5 guilty. However, the people cheering outside the courtroom are also disturbing. A woman is dead. A baby was never even allowed to be born and a guy, no matter how evil, is going to be put to death, leaving those who loved him but knew nothing of his guilt, also very hurt. There is absolutely nothing to cheer about in this case, let alone congregate outside the courtroom. It’s sad. He had a normal life and now he’s destroyed so many. Conner Peterson would be 16 years old now. Poor little guy. Never drew breath.

If you want a really in-depth (like 5 videos, each an hour long) coverage of this case, I recommend watching Stephanie Harlowe’s video series on YouTube. She covers everything you mentioned and more.

Thanks Mike! Another great video! He's so guilty, no doubt. Have you noticed how much people want to believe a guy who is good looking and charismatic can't be a bad person? But no one would believe him if he looked and talked like Robert Pickton. Murderers come in all shapes, sizes, races, types, etc. Unfortunately, California will never execute anyone on Death Row. I wish this monster would get what he's got coming to him. I'll bet he's somebody's little bitch on the inside now! 👿

You're probably the only person who could have a created a video about Scott that I could watch all the way through to the end. I was living in Modesto, about a mile away from Scott's house, when Laci disappeared. You did a good job of covering the essentials of Laci's case, but left out a lot. As you were researching this case, did you come across a story about the blue tarp or discover that Laci had taken out a $250K life insurance policy with Scott as her beneficiary? ~ Christmas morning or perhaps a day or two later, I woke up to the sounds of helicopters circling over my neighbourhood. Obviously, something was up (no pun intended). For months afterward, my early mornings were tea and the Modesto Bee with the latest on Scott & Laci. ~ Apropos of nothing, perhaps, Scott's house was a modest little bungalow on the border of one of Modesto's really upscale neighbourhoods, La Loma. I don't give a damn, but I suspect that he must have really envied his upscale neighbours. The park that you referenced in your video is about 50 steps from the door of Scott's house. It's a large, undeveloped regional park with a creek running through it, no lawns or paved bike paths and lots of dense vegetation. ~ During his trial, alternate theories intended to exculpate Scott were presented. All of these stories were tenuous at best and, at worst, absurd. One of my favourites was the "theory" that Laci was kidnapped by a coven of witches from Waterford, CA. Waterford is a tiny, incorporated city of about 2,000 that lies about 15 miles east of Modesto. Back in the day (the late 70s), I owned a small holding a few miles to the west of Waterford and I got acquainted with quite a few people from Waterford. I soon discovered that playing farmer wasn't my thing, but that's not for me to tell here. One Sunday afternoon, I realised that I had a library book that was going to be overdue. The headquarters of the Waterford PD happens to be next door to the library. I zipped into town to do a little shopping and to return the book by shoving it into something that resembled a mail box by its front door, As I got back into my car, I noticed a sign taped to the door of the police station: "Closed! Call the sheriff." ~ Them damned clever satanists! Who knew that Waterford was such a hotbed of crime? But, seriously, I was glad to see the return of the tinfoil hat. I wish that you'd return, at least on a part time basis, to your Captain Mike genre...

I’ve have been obsessed with this case since it happened. Laci’s half-sister put out a book, I think, I read an excerpt of it, in which she pointed out all his inconsistencies and squirrelly behavior. She would know, he stayed with her during the early days of Laci being missing. I think she even visited him on death row. Also, being interviewed on all the big new shows - complete narcissist behavior. He thought he was smarter than everyone and could get away with murder. And there was a big, long, scientific explanation for the decay level and missing parts of both bodies. Forensic evidence shows Laci’s body was weighted down with an anchor and dumped in a shipping lane. Not going into more details, but where she was and how long she was there explains everything about the condition of both bodies. That a**hole is guilty as hell.

“So he likes to slap tha ham, who doesn’t ?” I spewed Dr.Pepper on my screen! Funny shit brother. Love your humor mike. Trying not to sound like a fanboy but your commentary keeps me crackin..about the video yea he done tha shit if they would have found more evidence NOT pointing directly at Scott. Thinking he went a little overboard with corpses in my opinion....

I used to ask the same question “why not just divorce?” But I think it is because the narcissist is soooo selfish and sooooo devoid of compassion that they’d rather wipe out the wife, kids and anyone else than share one scintilla of their material wealth or resources.

Have you considered doing one on Sophie Toscan du Plantier? I recently listened to the Westcork podcast and found it interesting. I would love to hear your take on it.
Thank you so much for making at least a little time of this lockdown bearable.

This case has always been disturbing to me, I grew up in Poway and it was the only thing people were talking about at the time. It’s very much like Chris watts. I will never understand why people just don’t get divorced.
I’m still persistent about KYRON HORMAN. (My auto spell now makes that in caps 🙈) but also wondering if he has covered Casey Anthony?

I love the foil hat moments! Sweet Laci married a typical narcissist - the porn, whoring around and I’m sure there was plenty of lies and unkind remarks toward her and about her. He was self centered and self serving. Unfortunately he was so void of empathy and compassion that he could murder her and their child.

2020-04-13 18:19:48 +0000 UTC
He 1000% did it. I didn't spent much time on it at the end, but I thought if I'm covering it i thought the theories he might have done it should be mentioned at least. He did do it though, just wanted to play a little devils advocate at the end.

The neighbors remind me somewhat of a group influenced by mob mentality and the rejection of someone in close proximity to them being 'evil'. I would say that the evidence is overwhelmingly against him - and his defense is... lacking. His blatant lies about his whereabouts, his upturned lips when he's being interviewed, his continual lies... I mean. Yeah..
Payton Smith
2020-04-13 17:43:25 +0000 UTC
Dude you lost me there where you ended up seemingly giving credence to the ridiculous theories about why Scott didn't do it (you did bring out the tin foil hat so not sure 100% where you stand). People in every eventuality want to believe that there's some strange truth out there that is covered up by circumstances, public officials and the public willfully refusing to see and etc. This is what's behind Bigfoot and other silly belief systems. People want to believe in alternative truths because the conventional truth is boring. There's no fucking way in the world S.P. is not guilty. It's beyond reasonable doubt and beyond any shadow of a doubt. People say they saw her walking her dog. Well eye witness accounts are notoriously bad. People get dates and times confused. Or maybe they saw her at 7:30AM and he killed her at 8 when she walked back in. It just doesn't do anything to dispel the MOUNTAIN of evidence showing his guilt.
