MODESTO, Calif. -- A court appearance is scheduled today for Scott Peterson, the California man accused of killing his wife, Laci, and their unborn child.
The pre-trial hearing in Modesto is expected to be wide-ranging.
One issue is whether search warrants related to Peterson's arrest should be unsealed. Three newspapers are asking a judge to make the documents public.
There may also be discussion of wiretaps placed on Peterson's phone. Documents related to the wiretaps have also been sealed.
Peterson's attorney may also seek to have the trial moved from Modesto to another location.

Peterson, mistress discussed private eye
Court documents: Two spoke weeks after Laci disappeared
Tuesday, May 27, 2003 Posted: 8:10 AM EDT (1210 GMT)
MODESTO, California (CNN) -- Nearly a month after Laci Peterson disappeared, her husband, Scott, spoke on the phone with his mistress, according to recently released court documents.
Laci Peterson disappeared December 24, resulting in a widespread search that included the San Francisco Bay, where her body and that of her child were found in April.
A phone call between Scott Peterson and Amber Frey, a massage therapist from Fresno, was intercepted January 20 by investigators working the case of the missing pregnant woman, court documents said.
In the conversation, which occurred about 10:10 p.m., Peterson told Frey that he had hired a private investigator, according to the documents.
The documents do not say how long the two talked or whether they discussed anything other than a private investigator.
"I reviewed this interception and noted Scott Peterson had told Amber Frey he knew that the National Enquirer had hired a private investigator because his private investigator had told him that the National Enquirer tried to hire him," Stanislaus County investigator Steven Jacobson says in a 13-page affidavit, released Friday.
"This was the first time I was made aware of the fact that Scott Peterson had an unidentified private investigator working on this case."
Four days later, Frey said at a police news conference that she had been having an affair with Peterson. She said the affair began November 20 and that Peterson had told her at the time that he was single.
The search for 27-year-old Laci Peterson, who was eight months pregnant at the time of her disappearance, ended in early April when her body, and that of her fetus, washed ashore near the Berkeley Marina, where her husband had told police he launched his boat for a fishing trip Christmas Eve.
He reported his wife missing when he returned.
Peterson, 30, is awaiting trial on murder charges in the deaths of his wife and unborn child. He could face the death penalty if convicted.
Peterson insists he is innocent, and his attorneys have been looking for other witnesses and suspects.
Defense attorneys have interviewed a Peterson neighbor who reported seeing a man in the neighborhood that he considered suspicious the morning Laci Peterson disappeared.
The neighbor reportedly saw the man in a tan van minutes before he saw a "very pregnant woman" walking her dog a few blocks away.
The man, who had previously told his story to CNN, said Friday that attorneys had asked him not to speak further with the news media.

I KNOW LACI'S KILLER
By ANDY SOLTIS

May 27, 2003 -- Scott Peterson called his girlfriend five or six times a night after she went public with their affair and while the investigation into Laci Peterson's disappearance deepened, it was reported yesterday.
"Do I need to be afraid of you?" Amber Frey asked Scott, according to a wiretapped phone call.
"Absolutely not. I am not a monster," he replied.
"Did you have anything to do with your wife's disappearance?" she asked.
Scott allegedly had trouble answering. After saying "Ah, ah," he paused and continued:
"No, but I know who did it and I'll tell you later when I see you."
Fox News Channel reported the contents of the calls that were recorded by police, citing a source close to Frey, 28.
The details came to light on the eve of another court appearance by Peterson, set for today.
Peterson was charged with the murder of Laci, 27, and their unborn son, Conner, after her body washed up last month on the shores of San Francisco Bay.
The remains were found not far from where Scott Peterson told police he had been fishing the day she disappeared, Christmas Eve.
Fox News Channel cited the source as saying Peterson used at least three different cell phones to call Frey and repeatedly pressed her to see him after their affair was disclosed in January.
But Frey refused to see him, saying she was being followed by the media.
The source said Frey was also aware calls to her cell and home phones were being intercepted by cops.
Frey also refused Peterson's offer to buy her gifts and pay for a vacation.
The source said Peterson managed to have expensive jewelry delivered to her - and the method and place of delivery could be important in the investigation of Peterson.
The source did not elaborate.
Scott Peterson was later detained by police near the Mexican border with what was described as a large sum of money and his brother's passport.
Investigators said that he had dyed his hair and grown a beard.
Meanwhile, KCBS radio reported yesterday that Peterson's lawyers are challenging how the dozens of phone transcripts were amassed.
The defense team says the Modesto Police Department also illegally listened to phone calls between Peterson and his lawyers.
Last week, defense lawyers said they interviewed a Peterson neighbor who claimed to have seen a suspicious man in tan van in the neighborhood on the day of Laci's disappearance.
Divers, helped by high-tech sonar, hunted for additional evidence in the bay since May 16 but were halted at the end of last week and it was not clear if they would continue after the Memorial Day weekend.
Investigators refused to say what they were seeking, but published reports said Laci's autopsy said some of her body parts were missing.

Or maybe this.
17) "Opened it, some mail."
Comment: She says was killed because she opened some mail and found something out that caused a fight. In a session on May 17th she said that it was a Christmas card from Amber Frye containing the now infamous Christmas party photos.
18) "I know Laci. Come on Laci we'll go sit down."

It's just one of the many things that have popped up and then disappeared.
We may be too quick to discount a lot of that stuff.
That would about do it, huh? It has to be something like that.
Comment: I cannot disclose this
Creepy.
