BEE STAFF REPORTS
Modesto police reported Wednesday that a suspect has been identified in a Saturday burglary at Scott and Laci Peterson's house.
The burglary was not related to Laci Peterson's disappearance, police said.
Police did not identify the suspect and did not report an arrest. The suspect is someone known by the Petersons and one of many people with access to their home, police said.
The suspect cooperated in police interviews. The stolen property has been returned, police said.

Maybe someone from Laci's family that wanted something of sentimental value because he/she feared Scott would not give it to them if they asked.
"Lee told him once if he ever played a round of scratch golf, he'd buy him a Ferrari,"
Unimportant, but what is scratch golf?
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.
