Husband of missing Modesto woman lied about girlfriend, family says
Modesto Bee ^ | 1/17/03 | Jim Wasserman

MODESTO, Calif. (AP) - The husband of a missing pregnant woman may have lied about his relationship with a girlfriend and possibly other things, a spokeswoman for the family said Friday.

Kim Petersen, a spokeswoman for relatives of Laci Peterson, 27, of Modesto, said police have shown the family recent photographs of Scott Peterson with a girlfriend. The husband had previously denied such a relationship, the family said.

"Now, however, they believe he has lied to them about this, and possibly other things as well," Petersen said.

"Approximately two weeks ago, Ron Grantski, Laci's stepfather, asked Scott if he had a girlfriend. Scott told him no and Ron believed him," Petersen said.

"The family is asking him to tell everything he knows and to fully cooperate with the Modesto Police Department," Petersen said. "Their family is the most important thing to them and if Scott has nothing to hide, they ask him to prove that."

Laci Peterson was reported missing on Christmas Eve. She is due to deliver a baby boy on Feb. 10. Her husband told investigators he went fishing at the Berkeley Marina on Christmas Eve morning.

Police did not indicate to the family if investigators believed Scott Peterson was responsible for his wife's disappearance, according to Petersen.

"The family knows that the police are doing their job," Petersen said. "They don't want to do anything that can hurt their chances of finding Laci."

Petersen, executive director of the Carole Sund-Carrington Memorial Reward Foundation, which is sponsoring a reward for Laci Peterson's safe return, said the Modesto center closed Thursday.

Volunteers also canceled plans to open a one-day center in Los Angeles on Sunday.

"Although Laci has not been located yet, our search effort will not stop," said Brad Saltzman, general manager of the Red Lion Hotel in Modesto, who had been organizing the volunteer centers. "We will continue to search for Laci and her baby boy."

Police have repeatedly said Scott Peterson is not a suspect but has been less than cooperative.

a lot of people didn't like professor chang because he did have a really hard accent to understand.

If I hadn't had his classes though, I would be able to watch "CSI" without laughing at how stupid it is.

According to Imo Jima, in post #212
Second, whether or not a death is "accidental" is determined from the perspective of the insured. Therefore, murder is accidental; suicide is not.

Imo Jima seems to be an expert in this area so i will go with what he says.

Back then I didn't keep high reading on politics. Was way too busy with school, work and my son... I just read the local paper, and researcing my assignments. Back then computer internet searching was nothing like it is now. Whew, I am glad.

One of my motor cop buddies saw me walking to the science building and came up to me and told me why all the crowd was there. I was going to study on a midterm at that time, I think.... After I graduated in 90, I ventured in the other degree I was aiming at, but went to arguement modes with certain professors for their farout point of views vs mine! ..... NY attitude...long story...

I feel the same about medical shows.

I have been thinking about a show that would be intesting.

One based on the many stories on a forum and there outcomes. With a few posters cast as longtimers.

Maybe not but tv land does need to come up with some interesting current affairs for entertainment.

Hi everyone I WENT TO THE VOLUNTEER CENTER,

I took a quick trip down to the Double Tree Inn in Westwood after doing some errands. There were quite a few camera men and of course Rita Cosby of Fox News who has been doing great coverage on this case (I told her I that I liked her coverage and was a fan of hers).

As I has predicted last night on FR SCOTT PETERSON was not there. I know he was there at 11.00am bc I saw the live coverage (SP avoiding the tough questions). All in all it was sorrowful. Admittedly SP and his spokesperson may have gone for a quick break....my take on it was that he was there in the morning when the center opened so that he could be "seen". After is was obvious that not many volunteers were showing up, he probably decided to "have a drink at the bar" or whatever. The general feeling at 2.00pm at the center was "empty other than support personnel"

I was sort of uncomfortable so I was in and out of there in 5 minutes. I hope Scott stayed longer than I did :(

The case in which I was involved at a law firm, the policy paid out, even though the insured was murdered. The "grieving" wife did attempt to get all the money (she was named the beneficiary), even though she was already charged and convicted of murder.....

Good on ya! Queen FReeper, extraordinaire. Scott's trying to keep up pretenses, but it's getting harder and harder.

"I was sort of uncomfortable so I was in and out of there in 5 minutes. I hope Scott stayed longer than I did :( "

Scott could stay there 24/7, it would make no difference - he knows she's dead along with the poor baby...and he knows where the bodies.

Just watched FOX, they are on this case pretty good! Mark Fuhrman was excellent as always.

I can't imagine how Scott Peterson turns people's stomach's when they see him - let's all pray they have the evidence to arrest the murderer.

My best friend is a perfusionist and his wife complains that if she can't watch "E.R." with him around because he won't stop saying "FAKE!" "STUPID!" "WRONG!" all the time.
