Scott’s friend, Guy Miligi told the media how Scott had spent many hours preparing the nursery.
Neighbor, Karen Servas told police that both Scott and Laci were excited about the pregnancy and upcoming baby. Another neighbor, Susan Medina, first met Scott in December 2002 when he gave her a ride to work because she had a flat tire. She testified that she and Scott discussed Laci’s pregnancy and who her doctor was. Scott & Laci’s maid, Margarita Nava, told the police that Scott and Laci were excited about the baby and had the nursery all prepared.
Scott had painted the nursery and Conner’s dresser. He had assembled the crib and also made the table shown in the photo below to match one Laci had seen in a catalog. Scott went with Laci to her OB/GYN appointment on December 23, 2002. Scott and Laci had planned this pregnancy, they were excited to become parents, and Scott was an involved father-to-be.
