Limelight also shines on the other Newsom She's a big attraction on the chat circuit
Step aside, Gavin.
There's a new Newsom in the national spotlight -- the San Francisco supervisor's wife, Kimberly Guilfoyle Newsom, whose looks, brains and lawyerly background have made her a star commentator on the Laci Peterson chat circuit.
The lissome Guilfoyle Newsom has become a regular -- as in very regular -- guest on CNN's "Larry King Live" in recent weeks, providing sharp-edged courtroom analysis. And fabulous close-ups.
So much so that Larry King has her flown down to L.A. to appear on set rather than via satellite.
In fact, the Kingmeister is so covetous of the prosecutor's analysis that he's barred other CNN shows from talking to her on air.

No new developments in investigation into slaying

WASHINGTON -- There is an afterlife to every murder, especially Chandra Levy's.
Almost a year after her remains were discovered in Rock Creek Park in the nation's capital, the investigation has long since gone cold. Other inquiries continue, and other lives go on, though shadowed by her disappearance.
Here, the police chief is fighting a subpoena ordering his testimony in a libel case stemming from the Levy investigation. In California and New York City, big-dollar defamation lawsuits filed by former U.S. Rep. Gary Condit and his wife have put reputations on the line.
And in Modesto, Levy's family awaits the return of her remains.
"When this first happened, we were all pretty numb," said Linda Katz, Levy's aunt by marriage formerly known as Linda Zamsky. "Now I'm angry, and I'm frustrated that we haven't gotten any answers."
Levy's family last heard from her May 1, 2001, by e-mail, and she was last seen the day before in Washington, where she had just completed an internship with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
She was 24, an Ohio native who was raised in Modesto. Her link to then-Rep. Condit of Ceres brought national attention to her disappearance.
A man walking his dog came across Levy's remains on May 22, 2002, and the discovery temporarily revived public attention and sparked hope that the mystery would be solved.
The available evidence enabled Washington's chief medical examiner, Dr. Jonathan Arden, to declare that Levy had been murdered. Means, motive and murderer, however, remain unknown.
A grand jury has heard testimony about Ingmar Guandique, now in prison for attacking two women in Rock Creek Park, and investigators told The Washington Post last month that they are interested in several dozen sex offenders. But without any indication of progress, Washington police employ a rote description of the case:

Detectives arrest husband of missing nurse
By Niesha Gates and Elizabeth Hume -- Bee Staff Writers Published 2:15 a.m. PDT Saturday, May 17, 2003 A year and two days after emergency room nurse Jan Scharf disappeared from her Cameron Park home, El Dorado County sheriff's detectives arrested her husband, Glyn Scharf, on suspicion of homicide Friday.
The arrest came after an all-day search of his Center Street home in the Amador County city of Jackson while he was out of town, said El Dorado County sheriff's spokesman Lt. Kevin House.
After returning home about 5:30 p.m. Scharf was arrested, House said in a telephone interview.
Detectives would not say if any property was seized, but did say the search lasted 24 hours.
The arrest followed a yearlong investigation that family members complained was not making any apparent progress.

Repost of crime scene article
The suspected site of the killing and approximate time of death -- between Dec. 23 and Dec. 24 -- are the only details about the investigation contained in a brief criminal complaint filed in connection with Peterson's arrest Friday.
He had told police he left his wife in their home on the morning of Christmas Eve to go fishing at the Berkeley Marina.
Details of what evidence authorities have gathered from the couple's home, Scott Peterson's truck and boat, and a storage locker are in court documents that have been sealed by court order.
Stanislaus County District Attorney Jim Brazelton has declined to discuss what evidence authorities have gathered, as has the Modesto Police Department.
The evidence would certainly become public if the 30-year-old Peterson goes through a preliminary hearing, which would determine if there is enough evidence for a trial.
But Brazelton has said he might opt to submit the evidence to a grand jury, which would make the determination of whether there is enough evidence. Grand jury proceedings are secret.
In California, grand jury proceedings are optional, unlike in the federal court system, which must use grand juries to indict anyone for serious crimes, said David W. Miller, a law professor at McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento.
The primary reasons for choosing a grand jury are to keep the information secret and to allow prosecutors to shift the political pressure of going to trial to another entity, Miller said.

Peterson's friends saw no hint of a criminal path

Peterson's friends saw no hint of a criminal path By Laura Mecoy -- Bee Los Angeles Bureau Last Updated 7:47 a.m. PDT Thursday, May 8, 2003 SAN DIEGO -- In his high school yearbooks, Scott Peterson displays his "pulverizing" golf swing and tells his classmates to "watch for me" after his 1990 graduation.
The young man who led his golf team to an undefeated season in 1990 was hoping his golf swing would bring him fame.
Instead, at age 30, he's become known as a philandering husband, arrested with $10,000 in cash and charged with murdering his pregnant wife, Laci, and the unborn son they planned to name Conner.
Former classmates and others who watched Peterson grow up here wonder how the well-mannered youth they knew could be suspected of committing such a chilling crime.
And finally, an interesting article dated, some facts to link back to
