The victim's shocking autopsy report later helped to put Scott behind bars, but he'd already put police on his trail through his own bizarre behavior.

The bizarre disclosure immediately made police suspicious of Scott. They began to believe that he knew Laci was dead — because he had murdered her! Several weeks later, acting much like a man seemingly haunted by his wife's presence, Scott tossed Laci's precious album of wedding photos in the trash from a storage locker he secretly rented!

Scott would end up being convicted on two counts of murder: first-degree murder with special circumstances for Laci's death, and a charge of second-degree murder for the fetus she carried. The jury sentenced him to Death Row in San Quentin — where, tragically, prison insiders say that
