Unimportant, but what is scratch golf?

An unobtainable goal. : )

Depending on the course, about 72 strokes on a golf course would be par, thus scratch.

Laci's family did interview with AMW yesterday. Will air this weekend according to KTVU. Laci's cousin says they feel like they were "stabbed in the back (by SP)".

The suspect is someone known by the Petersons and one of many people with access to their home, police said.

Not another situation like that!?!?!

That complicates matters doesn't it? In all my years in construction, I could count on my hands the number of people who were averse to leaving a key under a rock or some such place. I have often worried that if someone else involved in a remodel job did something I might be suspected or blamed. Fortunately nothing like that ever happened, but it still amazes me sometimes how trusting people can be with their home, their valuables, even their kids!

Anyway, the picture I am getting of these two is that they were maybe, well.. .. a little shallow, if you know what I mean.

Not meaning to speak ill of Laci, really. But, for example: the way they supposedly fell in love. He's working three(not one, not two, but three) jobs and going to school full-time. From everything I've read about Laci, she is all involved in this and that club and activity in school. So when do the two of them spend enough time even getting to know eachother to be in love?

It seems like one of those situations where the people sort of fit for practical and social reasons. Not to say that is a bad basis for a marriage, it works for some people. But, well... hosting multiple holiday dinner parties, he works as a sales rep for an international ag products firm, she spends her decorating and planning parties, his hobbies are golf and fishing(and philandering, apparently). All very "American yuppie" cliche. She even got pregnant at just about the right age and income level.

I am thinking "Sweet Jane" by Lou Reed, or I recently rented "Pumpkin"(i think that is the right name) with Christina Ricci.

Does anyone else get that picture?

Like whether he did it or not, he has to be worried about how this cramps his go-getter, golden boy style.

Other family members suspected?

That's what the media says. Quite frankly I don't see that in the police comments. Must have been something said "off the record".

From the article 40 Modesto police officers still continue to work the case.

How large of a city is Modesto? I was thinking it was small, but if they have 40 police working on the case, it must be much larger than I thought.

[RGSpincich]

You are spot on about alot of things concerning them. But they didn't leave a key out or trust someone with a key. A window was broken to gain access. The person who broke in was "known to them" not necessarily a friend and is cooperating with police according to reports.

Please add me to the ping list. Thanks

[BonneBlue]

The person who broke into the home most likely admitted to LE their offense and hopefully turned over whatever they were looking for in hopes it would move the case forward.

Even par ==== no extra strokes.

[RGSpincich]

That surprises me too. I didn't think it was that big.

Hey, pardon me for putting something on here that doesn't relate to the subject, but I was wondering--do any of you ever read "Mrs. Brady's URLs"? It is a website which was started in the wake of the Jonbenet case, and it now features daily crime news on a variety of cases--including the Peterson case.

The website's been down since last Friday. Now, when you go there, there's a msg that says "this page is irrelevant."

So you'll have to pardon me, once again, for suspecting the dear, sweet, rich Ramseys or their friends. (Just my opinion.) If anyone knows who threw "Mrs. Brady" off the net, I'd like to know!

[RGSpincich]

Modesto, that is.

Modesto police continue to look for Laci Peterson and say Laci's husband, Scott Peterson, is not the only family member they're looking at in the case.
They are considering other family members that may be involved in Laci's disappearance.

Maybe someone kidnapped her to steal her baby. Someone who wanted a baby of their own for whatever reason, and someone who knew Scott was often gone on long fishing trips. There was a woman whose death penalty was commuted in Ill. the other day, who cut a baby out of its mother's womb, because she wanted to have a baby.

Bizarre division between the families. Laci's family will start talking to the media tomorrow. - KTVU

[Searching4Justice]

thanks for the ping....here is a wild theory for ya....suppose SP's dad is in the smuggling business and they "diverted" a valuable shipment for a client and in Soprano style, the injured party decided to take SP's wife until they get their goods back. Being a very nefarious business, they could not go to the cops for fear their operation will be detected......ok shall I go write my novel now ? lol

[PleaseNoMore]

RG, is there a thread that has all of the threads regarding this case combined?? Just curious..........

[STOCKHRSE]

thanks for the ping...

[RGSpincich]

is there a thread that has all of the threads

Runningbear used to have something along those lines. There's so many though...

[PleaseNoMore]

Thanks..I am finding it hard to keep up unless I just sit here and reload...:o)
