“She threatened to call the police, and we couldn’t get caught. We had to shut her up.”
There is new evidence that confirms what we’ve always known to be true: Scott is innocent.
Two witnesses recently heard a man admit that he participated in the Medina burglary and that Laci caught them. These witnesses have signed declarations, and they are willing to testify—something that many witnesses have been afraid to do in this case. We are incredibly grateful for the courage of these new witnesses.
Last week marked 20 years since Scott was arrested for murdering Laci and their unborn son Conner. The evidence has always indicated that Laci was alive when Scott left home the morning of December 24, 2002. The evidence shows that Laci woke up, she put her pajamas in the hamper, she got dressed, she used the computer, she curled her hair, she watched Martha Stewart, she mopped the floor, she leashed up their dog, McKenzi, she went back in the house (perhaps to use the restroom or grab a jacket), she walked the dog, and she returned home.
And the evidence has long suggested that Laci witnessed or confronted burglars that were burglarizing the Medina home directly across the street from her home. This is no longer a suggestion, and this new evidence is admissible in court.
These new witnesses provided specific details they recently heard from a man who admitted to participating in the Medina burglary on December 24, 2002. He admitted that Laci caught them while they were removing a safe from the house, and that she threatened to call the police. He said they “couldn’t afford to get caught, so they had to shut her up.” He admitted they took Laci and that the men he was with killed her. He admitted that they saw on television that Scott had gone fishing in the bay area, so they took her body there. He gave details that have never been made public that confirm his story to be true.
While we’ve always known Scott to be innocent, nothing could prepare us for the heartbreak and emotions we felt when there was finally a name and specific details attached to what happened to Laci and Conner. We find ourselves devastated about what her last days must have been like and we find ourselves mourning their loss all over again.
While our judicial system is based on the assumption of innocence until proven guilty, the burden has shifted, and Scott must now prove his innocence. We would argue that Scott was never granted his constitutional right to be presumed innocent, was never proven to be guilty, and was instead tried from the very beginning with the burden that he must prove who else could have done this.
This newly discovered evidence not only proves Scott’s innocence, but it answers in part, who is responsible for Laci’s kidnapping and murder. Our investigation is not over.
There is still more to come.
This evidence has been filed with the court and we will post more information in the coming days.
