the taking of items in Scott and Laci Peterson's home that Friday, was declared a civil matter, not criminal, and MPD was on stand-by... They (Rochas) did have keys until Jackie and Lee Peterson changed them all preventing the Rochas from retrieving Laci's items.

In the views of MPD, this was a civil matter, not criminal. ;o)

Jackie Peterson also stated on national televison that the Rochas could go in at any time two days before the ROchas went in. Since the house was still in both Scott and Laci's name, no DC had been issued at that time, the Petersons and the lawyers for Scott have had access (some since the weeks after Laci disappeared), the Petersons have already been seen removing items by neighbors, and the Rocha's had a key. The authorities state it is civil, not criminal dispute.
