these were not hard facts of evidence, just a rising death of suspicion like when did scott get a boat. he said he had taken his boat out. he did have a boat. scott said he knew about the boat. how could it be that sharon had no idea and that he recently bought a used 14-foot game fisher. i treated him like a husband. the husband of the missing person. but i had suspicions. i asked him to take me to the boat. late the first night the detective and scott went to scott s warehouse where he kept his boat. you came here that night. that night. what did he tell you when
what is going on here. that is concerning. that was concerning to me. and then the detective asked the question that soon everyone would be asking. so what you are telling me, scott, you have no idea of where laci is. people in that situation, you know, they are going to have a lot of questions for you. are you guys doing this. why don t you do this. we got it from sharon and ron and laci s friends. everybody had an interest in trying to get us to go faster. everybody that is but scott. now why, they wondered, would that be. why, they wondered, would that be. coming up. hey beautiful, i just left you a message at home. i listened to that he was leaving this recording for us to hear.
whose name was thrust into a cultural moment. amber frye. what does a saga like that do to a person s life? i would say from day one it completely changed my life. and the story told by a frustrated ex journalist, convinced the cops, prosecutors, the public got it all wrong. did scott peterson kill his wife? i do not believe he did. a video we found buried in the court archives. you are telling me that you have no idea of where laci is. no, i do not. scott peterson talking to a detective hours after sounding the alarm, laci was missing. but before we get there we will begin here with laci peterson s mother. sharon, surrounded, fortified really by laci s best friends.
amber frey had been working with detectives, covertly recording her conversations with scott peterson. in this one, scott told amber he was calling from a continent away, having a ball in paris. of course, it was a big lie. amber, if you can hear me i know, i can hear you! i wish you could hear me. i m near the eiffel tower. it s unreal. the crowd, it s huge. reporter: in fact, the crowd was huge. it just wasn t in paris. it was in modesto. and they weren t celebrating. scott called amber from the vigil for laci, the one where he made himself scarce while sharon and laci s 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 out the time
had anyone seen this truck, this boat, on christmas eve? they expanded their ground search to the foothills, the reservoirs, even mine shafts. and by mid-january, police decided they needed to tell sharon about scott s affair. i said, hey, we ve got some information we ve got to let you know about on this, and the best thing we can do is just give it to you. they showed her the photo at amber s christmas party, the one scott said wasn t him. i literally thought i was going to throw up. i stood up real fast, because i wanted to get out of there. i wanted to get away from them. i didn t want to hear what they were saying. what mother would? i just remember my stomach just turning, and i just, saying, just crying. he didn t have to kill her. that changed everything you had ever thought about him. it did. detective buehler had told sharon about amber because rumors were in the air, the media was sniffing about and getting close. i get to the office.
