Ted Rolands, what's the latest? Understand sources have told you about what Scott might have done after Laci's disappearance?

TED ROLANDS, KTVU-TV: Yes, we've had it confirmed from multiple sources on both sides of this investigation that Scott Peterson on a number of occasions went to the San Francisco Bay at different times of the day after Laci was missing. Of course, he was picked up by surveillance, a couple of times he was reported to have been seen there. And then they had that GPS tracker on him, so they were watching his every move.

And obviously, from an investigation standpoint, this raised a red flag, because there would be no plausible explanation of why this individual would be at a fishing -- a place where he went fishing and should have no other significance. So they really took note to that.

The defense admits that, indeed, he did make some trips up there, but they point out he has a sister that lives in Berkeley, and he was using the Bay area as sort of a safe haven to get away from the media. And he knew that police were searching in the bay, and they -- he had been told that that is where they thought Laci was.

So he went there because of those reasons and wanted to monitor the search. So a very interesting development.

KING: Also, Nancy Grace, if he doesn't take the stand, that could never come up, could it?

NANCY GRACE, COURT TV; FORMER PROSECUTOR: Well, the fact that he went back and forth to the location (UNINTELLIGIBLE)...

KING: I mean, how would it come, how would it come up at a trial if he never took the stand in his own defense? Who would be bringing up where he went?

GRACE: Whoever did the surveillance as part of the investigation, it would come in that way. And Larry, this is not a cliche, that very often you will find criminal defendants go back to the scene of the crime. Larry, it's not part of their big plan. It's almost as if they can't help it that they have to go back.

In fact, at the very beginning, when Scott came under suspicion, you and I actually talked about whether he had been seen after the disappearance at Berkeley Marina. It's very typical.

KING: Chris Pixley, what do you make? Is it anything or nothing?

CHRIS PIXLEY, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: I think it's nothing right now, Larry. You know, the fact of the matter is that Scott was arranging search groups to look for Laci up and down the coast. He was as far south as Los Angeles looking for her. And he did know, in fact, that the bay was being searched, so he had reason to go by there. I think the defense's explanation of it for right now is very plausable

Wow, scaughty just really puts himself in the dumbest criminal files didn't he.

Surely he didn't really just go and see a half sister, given up for adoption from Jackie, just to get away?

Or was it to make sure, nothing was coming up?
