I signed their guest book. The website is in very good taste and the pictures of Laci are beautiful and heartbreaking.

(she called it "A little boy, the baby")

I'm getting ticked off with MSNBC...regarding the DNA, they've had written on the screen as it (the DNA sample) coming from "a fetus bone" or something to that affect. It's no longer just a "fetus" you idiots! It's a baby!!!! ... unfortunately a dead baby. Shame on them!

Thanks, kcvl. So sad. I really do hope people respect their privacy.

Here's that sweet picture of Laci with a friend's baby:

"Long story short, we started talking about Fidel Castro .. and my one neighor had no idea who Castro was"

Many Americans have never heard of Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Tommy Franks, Condi Rice, etc. It's sad and pathetic.

Think that is bad .. last summer I was out front talking with some neighbors Long story short, we started talking about Fidel Castro .. and my one neighor had no idea who Castro was I'm STILL shaking my head over that one

Shake your head over this one, then. This is taken from:

http://www.worldofbritney.com/archives/all/2002_04_01_21-11_tattle___oops__britney_goofed_again.txt.html

Here's an excerpt from the page.

Now we all know La Spears is not spending her time leafing through Newsweek or the New York Times, but can someone brief her about the particulars of the countries she visits? The former Mouseketeer has irritated the Brits again by confessing that she doesn't know who Tony Blair is, MSNBC.com reported.

But is anyone really surprised?

When told that Alastair Campbell - a veddy British moniker ain't it?!? - is a big fan of hers, Spears asked who he is. "He's Tony Blair's right-hand man," Spears was told, according to the London Daily Mirror. "Tony Blair? I've never heard of him either. Who is he?" she said, unaware that she was breathing new life into the phrase "ugly American."

Girlfriend purportedly gasped when she learned Blair is the prime minister of, like, Great Britain. "Oh! He's very important then if he's the prime minister. That's a real tough job, isn't it? It's really cool that this guy Alastair Campbell likes me, then."

Apparently it would be totally uncool if he was a regular Joe like most of her fans.

I'm thinking Laci found out about the affair Scott had and it threatened to ruin Scott's "perfect boy" image so he snapped or she whacked him and he went wild. Sounds like the perfect image problem that often rears its ugly head when everyone learns it ain't so perfect after all.

Very good observation. There are certain people who cannot survive an "image defamation". They will lash out without thinking; they are in a rage. This could be an explaination for Scott Peterson.

What in the WORLD is this? Is there any credibility to this story? Or is this just some wild, wooley piece of fiction?

This what a non-Freeper Democrat friend of mine has to say about today's events. There's hope for her. -

Too bad the Modesto police didn't apprehend that animal cop killer. They could have locked him up with Pretty Boy Peterson and let him do a number on the wife and baby killer.

You mean you met someone with life outside of FR? The horror!

I know! Pretty scary! It made me appreciate this forum all the more and the fact that there are people who are aware and do care. FR has given the Silent Majority a voice.

Funny how last night the Laci thread had a lot of disruptors and as I check in today the posts are beyond keep up and everyone is celebrating... Kinda like listening to Bagdad Bobs and then seeing the Marines roll in..

Hope it is true and SP is now in custody to talk about it.

Early in the afternoon of 4-18-2003, the Department of Justice Crime Lab positively identified the female body that was found on Monday in the East Bay as that of Laci Peterson. They also identified the baby boy found in Richmond on Sunday as being the child of Laci and Scott Peterson. At 11:10 a.m. today, detectives from the Modesto Police Department Crimes Against Persons unit arrested Scott Peterson in San Diego for the homicide of Laci Peterson and their unborn son.

Modesto Police Chief Roy Wasden, along with Sheriff Warren E. Rupf of the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office, Chief Joseph Samuels of the Richmond Police Department and Chief Norm Lapera of the East Bay Regional Park Police, held a press conference at the Modesto Police Department announcing the results of the crime lab tests and the arrest of Scott Peterson.

Sheriff Rupf officially announced that the female body was positively identified as Laci Rocha Peterson and the male baby was identified identified as being Laci's unborn baby. The body of Laci was found in the East Bay Regional Park Police Department's jurisdiction and the body of the baby was found in the jurisdiction of the Richmond Police Department.

Late this morning, Scott Peterson was arrested at the intersection of Callas and Torrey Pines Road in San Diego. The arrest was made by Department of Justice Special Agent Supervisor Ernie Limon, Special Agent Peter Shear and CHP Officer Claude Jubran, without incident. He was immediately turned over to Modesto Police Homicide Detectives. Scott Peterson is being transported back to Modesto to be booked into the Stanislaus County Public Safety Center.

The family of Laci Peterson was notified late this afternoon that the bodies were confirmed to be that of Laci and her unborn son. They were also notified of Scott Peterson's arrest. Modesto Police also notified Scott Peterson's parents.

Chief Wasden publicly thanked the numerous agencies involved in the almost four month long investigation. "During the sixteen weeks of looking for Laci Peterson, we have received tremendous support from law enforcement agencies throughout California and throughout the Nation. The Modesto Police Department Homicide team worked incredibly hard, investigating every possible lead ensuring a complete investigation was conducted that would lead to a successful prosecution."

Scott Peterson was booked into the Stanislaus County Public Safety Center on two counts of murder. Modesto Police will continue the investigation and present it to the Stanislaus County District Attorney's Office for filing.

Earlier this week, the bodies of a male baby boy and a female adult were found, washed up in the East Bay area.

The remains were taken to Contra Costa County for autopsy and DNA testing.

Earlier today, April 18, 2003, those remains were identified as those of Laci Peterson.

On April 18, 2003, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Scott Peterson was arrested in San Diego for the murder of Laci Peterson and her unborn son.

Events leading up to this arrest began on December 24th when the Modesto Police Department was notified by family members of Laci's disappearance.

Modesto Police initiated an investigation and interviewed Laci's husband, Scott.

A search for Laci was initiated in the Covena neighborhood, extending to the immediate area, including the park areas along Dry Creek.

Search personnel included hundreds of law enforcement personnel from the Modesto Police Department and assisting agencies, as well as hundreds of volunteers.

The search area was continuously rechecked and expanded throughout the City, County and surrounding regions.

Search personnel searched areas such as waterways, open fields, urban areas/neighborhoods, roadways and bridges.

Searches were conducted on foot, on horseback, in vehicles, in water vessels, in helicopters and in planes.

Resources used included search dogs, divers, sonar devices and other technology.

Almost immediately after Laci's disappearance, rewards were offered for her safe return. Various rewards donated by friends, family and private donors totaled $500,000.

The investigation followed a logical path, starting with those closest to Laci.

Investigators were not able to eliminate Scott. Detectives aggressively investigated and exhausted many other avenues, tips, leads and possibilities.

To date, over 9,000 tips have been received on the Laci Peterson Hotline. Of those 9,000, approximately 7,000 were phone calls to the tip hotline and approximately 2,000 were by e-mail, letter, FAX, etc.

All tips received were documented and sent to detectives for review.

A percentage of tips received were of investigative value. So far, the Modesto Police Department has dedicated over 70,000 staff hours from all levels and areas of the department.

Wow .. Feiger is totally blowing my mind with all his comments tonight

He is, and maybe no one has posted this yet, but Feiger said SP should be arrested just for playing golf today when his wife and child were being identified!

Does anyone have Registered's famous spoof photo of murderers on the golf course: OJ, John Ramsey, Gary Condit?

Registered has to add Scott Peterson to that picture.
