SAN DIEGO DETECTIVE AIDS IN LACI PETERSON CASE

(03-04-2003) - A private investigator from San Diego made an unusual discovery in Northern California that just might help police in their search for missing Modesto woman, Laci Peterson.

Bill Garcia spotted a chunk of cement by a waterway near Modesto.

“It was interesting because it was the only patch of cement we saw in about 20, 30 miles stretch. And there was a tire track through it,” said Garcia.

Last week, the couple who sold a boat to Laci's husband Scott, said cement residue in the boat wasn't there when they owned it.

Regardless of who might be responsible, Garcia, along with the help of a private field engineer, have made it their mission to find Laci, with no guidance from Modesto Police of Laci’s family.

“Her family needs to know what happened,” said Garcia. “Whether she’s out there and someone’s holding her or whether she’s no longer with us, and we bring her home, or we help in bringing her home.”

Recently, Garcia helped in the search for Danielle van Dam, and also tracked down Phillip Salcedo, the armored car driver accused of stealing money in January.

Hi everyone! Hope you'll let me join this thread. I've been lurking on FR since 2000 but only signed up recently. Think I've read every post made on Laci. To me, it looks as if Snotty Boy is guilty and probably of premeditated murder. I want to see him get his just desserts, whatever that may be.

Good to chat with you, how have you been?

[landerwy]

If you have read them all then you know not to get cross ways with the Devil! Welcome aboard, and..... be careful!!! :)

[landerwy]

Really busy! I haven't even kept up with these threads. I've been helping my mother with her unrestrained cancer. She had been cancer free for 8 years but it now has reared it's ugly head again. She is in great spirits though and seems to be on an up right now! Thanks for asking!

And how about you?

[trussell]

Amen landerwy, get Devil on a roll, and you will spend all day trying to read the posts.

Hey Devil, good to see the gangs all here!!

Welcome aboard Sandylapper.

[Sandylapper]

LOL. I have and know about DA. Calcetines can handle him with her little finger. Thanks for the welcome!

[landerwy]

Well, Calc thinks she is all that but sometimes it takes two of her little pinkies to control the Devil! But don't play any kind of games with those two; they'll steal you blind! (Oh, they say if you mention someone in your post you ought to include them in the address so they will know when you are talking behind their back!) LOL

[Sandylapper]

Thank you, trussell. It's nice to be welcomed. I made a post the other day, but the thread apparently died :(

Too late for this warning. I've been addicted since 2000.

Owww!!! My ears are burning. :)

The report on KOVR 13, Sacramento CBS affiliate, presented video of the PI alongside a small body of water. Reporterette stated that PI had "Staked" the location and notified authorities.

Further video showed the newscamera focusing on the PI's digital camera image of the cement on the banks of the body of water. Present in that image was the date/time stamp - 03/03/2003. KOVR's taping also showed a highway bridge in the background - possibly Highway 99 or I-5.

PI's assistant was also shown on the report with a long yellow pipe with some type of instrument attached to the end of the pipe. Pipe diameter appeared to be around 1 inch. The instument was then lowered into the water and back and forth motions were created by the assistant. Report did not include any information obtained by this instrument.

The first report I saw occured on the 10 pm news (3/3/03) and again this am around 7:30. This morning's report was a shorter version of the 10 pm report.

Today's noon time news broadcast presented no report...nada.

Hope this answers all your questions on what I saw. That's my story and I'm sticking with it. Oh, and yes, I do live in Modesto. Our television news stations come from Sacramento - 80 + miles north. There will be a test. Study hard. :)

[Sandylapper]

Thanks, Queen!

[landerwy]

I've got to slow down. I was skim reading your post and kept seeing the word body. I had to keep telling myself you were talking about a body of water!!! LOL

[Queen Jadis]

very true!

[Diver Dave]

OOOPS! Must be my Mavis typing or Evelyn Wood speed reading. :)
