I want to hear nothing more of them until the obituaries are published.

I can think of two creditors. Mark Geragos and Stanislaus County, CA - not in that order.

Scott Peterson's mother is seeking $35,000 from Laci Peterson's estate

Well, they need the money for the reward they are offering for finding the real killer. Maybe they could pool resources with OJ and pin both crimes on the same person.

Who ended up with the house and the couple's personal belongings?

I think the Petrsons got the personal belongings. I think they had mortgaged the house to the hilt to pay for Scooter's legal fees.

I know it's been sold, but I don't know who got the money.

Peterson house a quick sale
Buyers bid more than asking price for couple's Covena Avenue home
May 22, 2005

The Modesto home where Scott Peterson likely killed his pregnant wife
is being sold for more than the asking price of $379,996, Realtor
Mary Prieto said Thursday, nine days after it went on the market.

Prieto declined to name the amount, the buyers, their hometown or whether they
intend to live in the three-bedroom, two-bath "cottage-bungalow" at 523 Covena Ave.

Much of that information will become public when the sale is recorded after
the purchase is final. Prieto declined to disclose when that might happen.

The buyers "loved the neighborhood," Prieto said. "They
were very pleased with the charm the house has to offer."

Its garage was converted into a living room and Scott and Laci Peterson did more
remodeling and installed a below-ground swimming pool. They bought the home
in October 2000 for $177,000 — less than half the price it fetched Thursday.

Prieto represents Sharon Rocha, Laci Peterson's mother and executor of her estate;
as well as Scott Peterson's parents, Lee and Jackie. Both sides agreed
to the offer Thursday, said Prieto, an agent with Prudential California.

Authorities say Scott Peterson smothered or strangled his eight-months-
pregnant wife in the La Loma neighborhood home on or just before
Christmas Eve 2002. He was sentenced to death nearly two years later.

His property rights evaporated with the conviction, but his
parents might have a claim because they loaned him money to
help fund his defense, and the loan was secured by the house.

Rocha's attorney has said the parties haven't agreed how to divide sale proceeds.

Prieto said the buyers are well aware that the house might
have been the scene of Modesto's most notorious murders. They
were "very, very pleased upon viewing the home," Prieto said.

Prudential never put a for-sale sign in the yard, relying instead
on ample publicity. Looky-loos hoping to tour the property were
screened out, said Prieto, who refused similar requests from reporters.

Prieto said she will continue accepting back-up offers until escrow closes.

I lost track of the Peterson trial so I don't know diddly squat about what happened after the midway point in his trial. I'm staying on the Duke Lacrosse story though because it's local.

Peterson Family members in San Diego. I think it was sister Susan Caudillo, but she may have had to fight sis-in-law Janey Peterson for it. "Mack" was at the elder Petersons' house some of the time, but that was temporary.

Knife found: Murder weapon or plant?
Stained blade uncovered in cabinet at Peterson home; police skeptical

By GARTH STAPLEY
BEE STAFF WRITER

Last Updated: July 12, 2005, 05:59:13 AM PDT

Modesto police ordered forensic analysis of a 10-inch knife reportedly found in the back yard of the home where Scott Peterson likely killed his pregnant wife.
Police questioned whether the knife recently had been planted in a dirty cabinet, only days after a tabloid magazine published rumors that Laci Peterson's throat was slit.

Gerry Roberts, who bought the house at 523 Covena Ave. on July 1, said Monday, "You could tell there had been liquid on the blade" and described a "red stain on the handle."
....
Roberts, 54, a Modesto real estate agent, paid $390,000 for the three-bedroom, two-bath cottage-bungalow, or $10,000 more than the asking price. The sale was completed earlier this month. He said he plans to live there with an adult daughter after renovating the home. [snip] ..."

If Scott were my son, I'd go find a plastic surgeon to make me unrecognizeable, then go live on a leper colony to atone for raising such an egotistical homocidal maniac.

That's pretty cold-hearted. Just because one man cold-bloodedly murdered someone isn't a good reason to become cold-hearted yourself.

Speaking for myself, it wouldn't much matter what my immediate family did. I am always on their side. Even if a close family member mowed down a class of kindergardners with a pickup truck, I'd still be on his side. Granted, I'd be devastated and pissed enough to bring about the energy-state death of the universe as an expression of my anger. Nonetheless, this person would still be family, and that will always count for something. When we live in a culture where it doesn't, it troubles me. It can't mean anything good for the future. In fact, I suspect this lack of love and loyalty may be what created a man like Scott Peterson in the first place.

And this practice of beating up on his parents for standing up for him doesn't say a lot good about us either. Most people would gladly kill another human being to protect their own children. I think the Peterson family has endured their son being codemned to die amazingly well, all things considered. I find it very troubling that we will so cavalierly denigrate his parents as being as big of a bunch of pariahs as he is, especially when they haven't done anything illegal. I'm sorry, but something is terribly wrong with this picture.

Obviously you weren't around on the Peterson forums during the trial, so don't even try to start up that same old junk again. Been there done that.

Scott didn't think twice about breaking them.

...and he's happy to keep it up. His mother has shown him the way.
