Meanwhile, tensions escalated as battles over personal belongings continued this weekend between the Petersons and Laci's family, the Rochas. The latest squabble was apparently over Laci's wedding ring, which Scott Peterson wants back.

In an interview with Fox News, Rocha family attorney Adam Stewart said he was retained about two months ago by Laci's mother, Sharon Rocha, to oversee the property matters in the case.

Rocha asked Stewart not to discuss the wedding ring details with Fox News. But Stewart did say that the Peterson family ignored the Rochas' repeated requests to go into Laci and Scott's Modesto (search) home to go through some of Laci's belongings.

Maybe this has been discussed, but why wasn't the wedding ring on Laci's hand?

There is the outside chance that Laci was having a new ring made using the old wedding ring and other jewelry that was left to her by a relative. Her Mom would know which jeweler had the jewelry as they would have probably discussed the matter. Some have reported that the Rochas have retrieved the items from the jeweler.

The wedding ring held some (monetary) VALUE to Scott, unlike Laci and Connor. This is just my opinion, of course.

Laci did not have her wedding ring on her hand, for there were plans that she would soon go missing.
