MODESTO, Calif. -- The husband of a missing Modesto woman broke his silence Thursday, speaking with NBC11's Jodi Hernandez.
Scott Peterson told Hernandez he doesn't care about his own reputation, he just wants to keep Laci in the media spotlight. "I really don't care what people think of me as long as it continues to keep Laci's picture, description, tip line in the media," he said. "They can think anything they want of me, let's help find Laci, that's all there is to it. We have the volunteer center headed down to Los Angeles this weekend, and in San Diego the week after that. We are making every effort to keep her picture out there. Make me the biggest villain in the world if you want to, as long as it keeps her photograph in the press," Peterson said.
Hernandez asked Peterson if he had anything to do with Laci's disappearance, "So, you had nothing to do with this? I mean, people are having questions now," Hernandez said.
Peterson replied, "The focus is on her. Let's keep her picture out there. Let's keep the tip line, the description out there."
A family source told Hernandez they were having second thoughts about Peterson. The unidentified person told her, "The scary thing is being around him for the past weeks and him still looking for Laci."
The volunteer center in Modesto was closed Thursday, but new centers open in Southern California this weekend.

Watch this video, it is creepy!
I don't know whether it is a problem on my end but i am unable to watch that video. That aside. SPs comment "I really don't care what people think of me as long as it continues to keep Laci's picture, description, tip line in the media," does not ring true. If he truly cared about keeping interest up in the case he would be PUTING HIMSELF IN FRONT OF CAMERAS and being the picture of a distraught husband.
Side note about the reporterette on NBC11, Jodi Hernandez.
She used to work for a Sacramento station and was Gary Condit's choice of local reporters to talk with after the Connie Chung interview. Wondered why I haven't seen her lately?!?
Thanks for posting the link to that video....kinda weird behavior by him, IMHO.
