A follow up on all yesterday's stories....

Stockhrse, I read your opinion on yesterday's thread, but you were kidding weren't you? ;o) I disagree with those thoughts, because this fiasco the PD had on yesterday, had to be for various reasons that come natural as hound dog reporters are. Everyone knew the 'other woman' (or others, I presume), would eventually come forward to the public's eye, and it just so happens on a weekend SP was mouling around the San Diego stint! MPD is now in a game of chess so to speak and is in the final lap of 'checkmate'.... SP is all but going to make the final flaws of mistakes; come forward and cooperate; or on the lam he goes!

Pinging from the Friday's hang over of events...;o) No SP talking yet from the Friday's press conferences? Hummm, enquiring minds really want to know, SP what is your next move?

[nicmarlo]

Wonder if the San Diego police are watching for scotty boy's next move? Maybe he'll change his plans now....

[AD from SpringBay]

Amber Frey of Fresno acknowledged having a romantic relationship...

A romantic relationship? How nice. Just so long as they weren't screwing each other.

I still think having this girlfriend come forward was rather strange. I mean this is not the first case where a person goes missing and they find he's had an affair.One reason for coming forward, this lady spoke too, that she went to the police rather than a tabloid with the pics, I can imagine that the Enquirer would have paid her a great deal for those pictures, so she did the right thing.But I am wondering if the reason was not so much that the press were hounding this woman, but that police felt that perhaps Scott might try to get to this woman to keep her quiet and now that she has gone public he would not dare?

Thnnx for the ping....bookmarked to read later.

[nicmarlo]

Scott has not been forthcoming with information regarding my sister's disappearance and I'm only left to question what he might be hiding." He added, "because we have so many questions, I can no longer support him."

I KNEW THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.....Greta last night kept saying the brother distanced himself from Scott because "he found out Scott was having an affair." She was spinning this; I don't understand why....it wasn't because of the affair, it was because Scott lied and hasn't been telling Laci's family anything....

[Tacis]

This guy is toast, whether he did it (did what?) or not! Barney Fife and the Keystone Cops will arrest him and charge him and some DA will try to convict him. A jury, seeing very little proof, will let him go and we won't know for 25 years what really happened. Then, some guy in prison will admit something and there will be obvious leads that Barney should have seen but didn't.

The fact of the matter is, that 99.999% of all men who have affairs, do NOT kill their wives.

Secondly, I heard that the life insurance policy was a "double indemnity" policy, which means that if Scott did kill his wife, he would forever "lose" $250,000 if he hid the body, and he would not get anything for at least 7 years if they cannot find the body.

Scott would have to be the stupidist man in the country(and maybe he is), if he was having an affair, and then killed his wife. Any idiot would realize that his affair would eventually come out and be public knowledge if his wife was killed while he was having an affair.

Maybe her appearance will shake the full support of Scott's family. If he did do it and the stories about financial problems are true, the family would be the one on the hook to pay for his attorney.

From what this gal said at the press conference, it sounds like she was introduced to SP by a third party. If true, will he come forward and let police know if there's other women he introduced SP to?

"The Laci Peterson case took a dramatic twist Friday when a 28-year-old single mother acknowledged having a recent romantic relationship with Scott Peterson."

And why pray tell, did she come forward? What purpose is served by her actions to help find Laci?

Answers: Money/Publicity and none.

[Karsus]

Then explain why she didn't sell the pictures to the National Enquirer?

[nicmarlo]

why pray tell, did she come forward?

IMO, the police "staged" this.....to get Scotty boy to start cooperating, to start admitting other things he said are lies.....she could have gotten money for those pics; she could have not even gone to the police in December....I doubt she was motivated by the desire for fame or money or anything else untoward.

Exactly. I think both pressers may have been coordinated in order to put pressure on Scott and his delusional family members. Today's News

How about: waiting until the cops found her wouldn't have looked good. Plus she was thoroughly pissed-off that a guy who told her her he wasn't married actually was, not to mention that he lied to the press and family about not having an affair while playing the poor, bereft soul.

[runningbear]

I haven't gone over the rest of yesterday's posts... Any word of where SP is right now?... Yep, and the FBI should be one alert too... (of course I know they are...lol..)

[runningbear]

yes, all his chips are being cashed in....so to speak...

[Senator Pardek]

Any word of where SP is right now?

Right here!

[spectre]

No so easy as all that.

Imagine that Scott did kill her, and that he thought he could get away with making the world think Laci was kidnapped and murdered. Here comes the sympathy factor into play.

After awhile, the cops would change the case from a Missing person to a Homicide. They don't need a body to declare this, the presumption will be there and good enough for SOME insurance companies to just go ahead and Pay the policy off.

OTOH, Scott's insurance company has their own investigators and you can bet, they aren't going to fork over this money without a second look.

BUT, if Scott is guilty, then the money gets turned over to Laci's next of kin. Don't know if they will get double indemnity?
