It just was absent, at least at that moment.

Yeah, it's late afternoon.

I'm trying to remember exactly like 3.30 or 4, something like that.

But if you recall, his original claim that he had told everybody is that he was going to be golfing that day.

And he told us, of course, that he changed.

Yeah, he changed his plan to go golfing because it was too cold to golf.

But it wasn't too cold to go out in San Francisco Bay, which is certainly not the tropics, I can tell you that.

So, you know, a lot of little things.

And this is the point for us is, you know,

A premeditated murder is not going to have a witness and it's not going to have a videotape.

You know, the luxuries, the things that we all want.

And of course, with Scott, you're never going to get a confession.

So you have to build that case by eliminating suspects from suspicion, by proving out their alibi and showing that they had no reason to do the killing.

But in Scott's case, although everybody else we dealt with in this case was pretty easy to clear.

We couldn't clear him.

We would always be conditional about that.

So when he decides he's going to change his plans at the last minute and go fishing instead of golfing because it's too cold to golf, that's a red flag for us.

Yeah, I think he was more of a freshwater fisherman than a saltwater fisherman.

And so he wasn't sure what lures he had.

And I think Al Brocchini mentioned that the tackle that he did have in his boat was all freshwater tackle that you would use up in one of the lakes in the Sierras or the foothills, not something that you would use in San Francisco Bay if you were going for like sturgeon or striper or something like that.
