Wow. He took a lot of care into changing his appearance. I know a person is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, but the facts of this case sounded so rotten from the get go. Like, who goes on a fishing trip alone on Christmas Eve with an 8 month pregnant wife? During all these months, I wonder if Scott really ever thought he was outwitting the law. When he granted an interview on TV, I wonder if he even realized how guilty he appeared, or if he really thought he was the cleverest dick in the world.

Anyhow, Scott's hair went from a dark brown to this weird red-blond color pretty quickly. I'm willing to bet his hair turns grey in the next five years... just like that Barretta guy.

National Enquirer - 4/29 Psychic Bombshell
PSYCHIC BOMSHELL IN LACI PETERSON MURDER

BY DAVID WRIGHT

Scott Peterson's mother hired nationally renowned psychic Noreen Renier to help in the search for her missing daughter-in-law, Laci-- then ordered the psychic to withhold her bombshell report from police, the ENQUIRER has learned.

Jacquelin Peterson's surprising about-face came as suspicion fell increasingly on her son Scott.

Renier, who has assisted police in 38 states and lectured at the FBI Academy, spent hours on the case. Her psychic visions - revealed on tapes obtained exclusively by the ENQUIRER -indicated Laci was dead when she was driven form her Modesto, CA home last December, and that she was weighted down with cement and dumped into a remote body of water.

But although Mrs. Peterson had hired her to help find Laci, when Renier called to say she'd completed her 14-page report, she got a puzzling reception.

"I told Mrs. Peterson that as a matter of routine I would also be sending the report to the police in Modesto," Renier told the ENQUIRER. "She seemed very nervous - then, very abruptly, she told me her attorney didn't want me to do that.

"Her attitude seemed to have changed since she hired me. She was a good deal less friendly."

Jacqueline Peterson had contacted Renier in January after learning of the psychic's phenomenal success in working with difficult-to-solve cases.

"She wanted me to find her daughter-in-law," Renier recalled. "She sent me a check for $450, but it didn't arrive.

"Then one day I got a call from a detective in Modesto asking me why a check for $450 made out to me had been found during a search of Scott Peterson's truck.

"I told Mrs. Peterson, and she sent me a replacement check. It was obviously mailed by Scott - his return address is on the envelope."

At Renier's request, Mrs. Peterson sent the psychic personal items belonging to Laci.

"There was a Tommy Hilfiger shoe, size 6 medium, and a navy blue sweatshirt, size small, with the logo of Laci's college - Cal Poly San Luis Obispo - on the front," Renier said. "I had those items with me during the psychic sessions - and I held Scott's envelope at all times."

Incredibly, Mrs. Peterson denies any connection to Renier, or to her psychic search for clues in the disappearance of Laci.

When contacted by the ENQUIRER, Mrs. Peterson denied hiring Renier and accused Modesto police of leaking the story.

Told that Renier was in possession of her personal check for $450, Mrs. Peterson said, "She does not have a check from me. If you have a copy of the check you can print the story."

A copy of the check appears at right.

In her psychic sessions, Renier - guided by para-psychologist Dr. Joanne McMahon - went into a near-trance, assumed the identities of both Laci and her killer and made a number of shocking discoveries.

Scott Peterson has told police that on Christmas Eve he left his 8-months-pregnant wife around 9:30am at their home in Modesto.

She was preparing to walk the dog, he said, and he was heading out on a fishing trip.

But in taped transcripts of the psychic's sessions, Renier assumed the identity of Laci and suddenly told Dr. McMahon, "I am in a vehicle. I back out of the driveway. I feel a laying down and being put in (to the vehicle.)"

Renier revealed she was concealed under a rug or cloth- then loosed a thunderbolt.

"I am already dead," the psychic said.

"You're dead when you're in the vehicle?" Dr. McMahon asked.

"Yes," Renier confirmed, adding, "It's late. Late at night or going into the early morning."

Further into the chilling session, the psychic appears to merge into the person of the driver- and says:

"I'm putting her into the water with cement. It's around her. It's for her to sink."

As Renier returns in spirit to the Peterson house, where cops believe 27-year old Laci was murdered, she sees the murder weapon - it could be a club or a bat.

"It is something you can hold in your hand and hit a person on the head," she said.

But most disturbing of all is the psychic's depiction of Laci lying beneath water.

"It has a fishy odor," said Renier, who then describes a grisly underwater tomb:

"I think I am at the bottom. I'm stationary.... the water rushing past me."

In March Reiner e-mailed her report to Mrs. Peterson, who never acknowledged it. But even without a client, the psychic found she couldn't drop the case- and held two more sessions that were never reported to the Petersons. In the final session, on March27-aided by a second psychic guide, Sheri Enzor- Renier identified once again with Laci.

"We had an argument," she suddenly revealed. "I was going out and we had an argumnet, there was pushing and yelling. He does hav a temper and most of the time it is controlled."

Reiner's revalations were so disturbing that in the end, she and Dr. McMahon felt compelled to send copies of her bombshell report to detectives hunting Laci's killer.

"Noreen's report was apparently not what Mrs. Peterson wanted or expected to hear, but I thought it was my civic duty and useful information for the police to have, said the para-psychologist, co-author of the book "Shopping for Miracles. They are in possesison of everything I've done, Reinier added. I just pray it helps them solve this awful crime.
