didn t take long. soon enough one of them showed up in a tv interview. i picked up the safe. put it in my house. i didn t have anything to do with that lady s disappearance. police agreed. no connection to laci. they would have kept digging. we are looking at the sex registees and parolees. people with history of violent crime, abductions, kidnappings. a lot of them hung out at the park? we had some. we were clearing those guys. we were interviewing them and verifying the alibis. what the police were not saying was that homicide detectives had other suspicions. of course they talk to lacey s husband scott. we are certainly looking at scott first, scott is the closest to laci. that s where you re gonna start with cases like this. that is behind the scenes. in front of the camera the official police statements were circumspe circumspect. we have to understand what the other possibilities are. the possibilities are that she could be, you know, a victim of foul play.
him, good he checkup on scott peterson from sacramento? a few days later, her friend called back. he d said he found an article, and he was going to print it and bring it to me. i said, okay. that was december 29th, scott had left for your two days earlier, or so he said. amber read the article. i was in disbelief of what i am writing, because it sounds like him, fertilizer salesman, modesto. i don t think there was a full picture of him, but there was his truck that was in this article. so were these words, pregnant and missing. i need this confirmed. i don t want to believe but i just read. turning your world upside down? absolutely. that is when amber called the modesto police. i reach a dispatcher, and i said, i have been dating this person. i am just i want to know if this is the
world. it was one of those days, i buried myself with a blanket over my head. she had locked herself away that day, that friends had to come to her house, to tell her there was news. they are knocking on my backdoor, the slider, and the backyard. it had been nearly four months since lacey disappeared, yet somehow, sharon felt more bad news was coming. early that morning, when the tides were low, the body of a baby had been found on the shoreline north of berkeley. the next day, another body, a torso, badly decomposed found nearby. the county coroner arrived at the scene and has recovered the remains of the victim. we are, at this time, letting people know we believe the agenda of the victim s female. even without positive identification, everyone knew, even sharon, who, despite everything, kept trying to hold on to a shot of hope that she d wake from the nightmare, from scott, it was not a peep.
massage therapy, single mother. i was told about a great guy my friend wanted me to meet. so to set you up on a date. a blind date at first. i said okay. a little, like, i wonder who she sees as a good fit for me. he sounded perfect. she had said he had a good sense of humor, good-looking, had a career, he was single and looking for the one, like, soulmate. he was serious about this? yeah. his name? scott peterson. it was late november when they met in person and it was electric. we had a really great first date, really good. you meet someone, you feel like there s no wall between the two of you. was it like that? yeah. was it like he was immediately attracted to you,
the one where he made himself scarce while sharon and her friends pleaded for help, and scott called amber, inventing fine details of his trip like jogging on the cobblestones of europe. i think i should just run on the street, because these cobblestones are slippery. he worked at the time difference, for his phone calls. if you go to bed at nine, at 6:00 my time. he kept on wooing her, unaware of who was listening. can i tell you how wonderful you are? that s pretty easy to do. how thoughtful you are, and amazing. you know, i always call you and i tell you your special, and that s just not a big enough word for it. oh, very interesting, but what were you hoping for from those recorded conversations that you didn t get? of course, ideally, i was hoping he would say, no, i murdered my wife, i dumped her in the bay, let s run off to europe. that wasn t going to happen.
