I found out...

[laz17]

Capital punishment is cruel and barbaric. He needs a good stern lecture and be made to promise that he won't do this kind of stuff again /left-wing stupidity off.

How soon before some human shield groupies come out to protect him? How soon before Garofalo comes on O'Reilly wearing a FREE SCOTT t-shirt? After all, Bush made him do it, don't ya know? Poor Scotty was just upset that Gore isn't president.

[runningbear]

yeah, on COPS or wait until America's Most Wanted... this would be good with John Walsh....

[spectre]

It ain't over yet..HLL. Just looking forward to hearing Scott's version of "that night". It's going to be a work of pure fiction, like no other.

Official: Bodies Are Laci Peterson, Baby

ELLIOT SPAGAT, Associated Press Writer

SAN DIEGO - Remains that washed ashore in the San Francisco Bay this week were those of Laci Peterson and her unborn child, California's attorney general said Friday night.

Meanwhile, Scott Peterson was arrested in San Diego on Friday in connection with the Christmas Eve disappearance of his pregnant wife, a sheriff's deputy said.

Scott Peterson was being transported to Modesto, according to the deputy who spoke on condition that his name not be used.

Peterson has not been seen in public since the decomposed remains washed ashore in Richmond, 90 miles away from the couple's Modesto home. The bodies were found on Sunday and Monday by people walking the shoreline.

Scott Peterson's attorney, Kirk McAllister, had refused to disclose his client's whereabouts this week. McAllister did not immediately return a telephone message Friday from The Associated Press.

Scott Peterson's parents live in Solana Beach, north of San Diego. A knock at the door of their home went unanswered Friday evening.

Peterson had told police he last saw his 27-year-old wife Christmas Eve as he left to go fishing at a Berkeley marina, which is three miles from where the bodies were found.

Modesto police seized his boat, pickup truck and nearly 100 items from the couple's house but had not formally named him as a suspect in the disappearance.

From virtually the moment his wife was reported missing, Scott Peterson's moves and statements have been scrutinized by authorities.

Peterson traded in his wife's Land Rover for a new pickup truck, considered selling their home and eventually admitted an extramarital affair with a massage therapist while his wife was pregnant with the couple's baby.

Peterson said he'd told his wife about the affair in the days before she vanished.

"It (the affair) was not a positive, obviously ... but it was not something that we weren't dealing with," he told ABC's "Good Morning America." "It wasn't anything that would break us apart."

The affair turned Laci Peterson's family against the son-in-law they had earlier supported. They begged him to cooperate with Modesto police, who had labeled him "uncooperative."

Scott Peterson launched his own search effort, separate from the one organized by his wife's family and sanctioned by police. At one point, as searchers looked in the San Francisco Bay and around Modesto, Scott Peterson showed up in Los Angeles to distribute fliers to volunteers at a local hotel.

"We simply have to expand the geographical area," he said at the time.

In February, Scott Peterson told MSNBC he missed his wife.

"I can't drive. I can't sleep," he said then. "Sometimes I feel I just can't do it. I feel like I'm in a dark corner and I just can't function."

In post #871 oceanview mentioned the materials used to tie and weigh down the body as being a possible link. And yep, I don't doubt they brought him in at least to keep tabs on him.

[Wednesday's Child]

They are going to argue against change of venue because of the national media attention Where in the world would they like it changed to then???????

[snooker]

When the body floats up next to your alibi you know you have a problem.

Note to self, next time ... leave body somewhere else.

He obviously flunked out of crime 101 class.

[justshe]

Nope.....heard it with my own two ears.

[Jackie-O]

They are driving him back..press will be waiting.

[Right_in_Virginia]

What is a RHEMI..(PRONOUNCED: RAY-ME ) warrent ?

GOOD question. (And, one I can't answer) ~~~ Let's hope someone here can help us ; )

[Howlin]

In the parking lot.

[new cruelty]

He must fry.

My wife and I just had a baby on April 5th. I cannot imagine anyone wanting to harm her. ... I'm not a sappy sentimental guy, but this really gets me.

[RGSpincich]

Yeah, we gave him too much credit. Oh well, glad they have the guy and have given her family direction.

[spectre]

Especially since John Walsh's little boy, Adam was decapitated...Walsh will show no mercy. He is justified.

[oceanview]

and now the officer with the gray hair is talking about the tarp washing up. I bet they can link him with the tarp also.

did you catch this question about "how did the bodies separate"? My god, are they implying that the baby was born and he killed them both and wrapped them in the same tarp?

[Slyfox]

WHO could defend this man???

Probably some sleezebag who thinks that the noteriety would be good for his career.

[NautiNurse]

Black plastic "tarp" washed ashore about 60 yards from Laci's body,
42" wide by 20 feet long!

[MEG33]

I want to see his jaunty little Perp walk!
