Pregnant Wife Discovered Hubby's Affair Just Days Before She Disappeared

Just days before she disappeared, pregnant Laci Peterson found a photograph of her cheating husband Scott and his girlfriend and contfronted him in a fierce argument, The Enquirer has learned exclusively.

The young Modesto, Calif., woman was so furious over her husband's affair that she demanded a divorce, sources say.

Laci, 27, has beeen missing since Christmas Eve. Scott, 31. told police he was away fishing when his wife vanished , but he has not been cleared of suspicion in the case. In our Jan 28 issue, The Enquirer revealed Scott had a secret girlfriend and had taken out a large insurance policy on his wife.

Scott gave no indication of trouble in the marriage, but sources say Laci told friends a different story.

Laci confided to close friends that she found out about Scott and that the marriage was over, said a source close to the case.

Three days before she disappeared, Laci had discovered photos that Scott had taken with Amber Frey and they had a blazing fight. She told him the marriage was over, but it was going to cost him-- he'd be paying both alimony and child support.

Sources say Laci-- whose baby was due in early February-- wanted to hide her marital problems from her family until after Christmas, while she figured out what she was going to do.

Laci was concerned about Scott's business trips and late hours, according to a source. Scott seemed to be coming up with more excuses to be away-- like he had to work to make money for the baby, said the source.

When Scott notified family and friends on Christmas Eve that Laci was missing, they rushed to the couple's home. They found the house decorated for the holidays, with presents to Scott under the tree, but there was nothing from Scott to Laci, an insider said.

As police continue their search for Laci, hope of finding the woman alive is fading.

They believe she is in the water, possibly stuffed into a 50- gallon steel drums like the ones Scott uses for his fertilizer business.

Meanwhile, new revelations confirm earlier Enquirer reports on the case.

On Jan.24th, Amber Frey, 28, came forward publicly to admit she was Scott's girlfriend and had called cops after seeing him on television.

Other exclusive reports in the Enquirer revealed Scott had apparently showered and changed before giving the alarm that Laci was missing, and that the couple had once declared bankruptcy and were again heavily in debt.

Police were still holding Scott Peterson's truck and boat. They are waiting for forensic tests to come back on suspected blood found in the house, the truck and on clothing found in the laundry room.

Added the insider: If forensic tests show what the police think they will, they'll go back into the house with another search warrant.

OMG, he had to work to "make money for the baby"...I could just throw-up.

Wonder in which HBO series I saw this very same scenerio?
