Great update!  I haven't seen the tape yet, but I could envision
everything from your descriptions.  A question and what I believe is
the FIRST NET THEORY:

I thought Scarecrow was the FAB agent who infiltrated Carlo's
organization, and that he's the one Sarah saw killed.  No?

First Net theory:  Since Carlo cried "You broke my heart!" when he
killed the guy in the garage, I figure it has to be someone close to
him.  My candidate:  his brother, Stephanie's father

The Theory again:  Steph reads the file and finds out Carlo killed her
father.


>     Sarah remembers Carlo killing DuAnn -- we see him mutter,
>"Scarecrow," under his breath.  Sarah runs into some scuzzy guy in

Huh? Is this a joke I don't get 'cause I haven't seen the show yet?
Julia killed DuAnn.  Sara wasn't anywhere near.

The Theory yet again: Steph knows about the attic because Carlo sent
her there to look for the diamonds.  Bye, Uncle Carlo!
