10:48 am - Scott speaks with his Mother - says he was near Fresno, Cell Towers placed him at the Marina.

Scott was at the Berkeley Marina (based on Cell Tower information) and retrieved a voice mail message left from his Mother-in-law at 1255 PM.

Wiretap phone interception : Sharon Rocha leaves a message at 12:45 for Scott that "it was a boat anchor, of course we knew it was not Laci, but I just wanted you to know-um" then Scott "Whistles Low" as in relief that is was not Laci.

At 12:56 Scott returns the call to his mother-in-law - Sharon says she called the Peterson family that they did not find Laci in the search. Sharon then made mention that she wanted Police to find a "blue pickup" that Kim Mcgreor saw - then spoke of a Prayer Vigil on that night, and if they are going to attend. Sharon says "I forgot about it" and Scott says he is in Bakersfield (but is still at the Berkeley Marina) and that he will pass out flyers and be back around 5 PM.

1:01 - Scott talks to his Dad.

1:21 - Scott makes a call to his freind Guy (From Gillroy) and complains about media attention and that the anchor was found. Scott says Laci got him "a big ol table saw" and I kinda "lost it" for a couple hours.

1:25 - Scott leaves a message for Mike Richardson

1:31 Scott speaks to Heather Richardson - Scott claims he is in Buttonwilliow on route 5 - Scott tells her they found a "Big 'ol Anchor" and Shelaguhs - Scott says he wants to visit them soon.

2:02 PM Scott calls Robert Weaver - Scott says to him "..they had all this sophisticated sonar stuff out there and they found an object they thought was a body" Robert - says "yes?" Scott continues "and they had 60 divers out there today", Robert reply's "Oh my God." - Scott "and they found an anchor" Robert "Sweet, that's nice" Scott - Yea, nice huh" Robert "Good job, maybe they can sell it and make some money" Scott "Huh yea excellent" Scott and Robert continue to chuckle and joke about the anchor, before hanging up.

Reported on CourtTV by Beth Karas on 8/25/04

Read transcript between Scott and Heather Richardson - Scott says "They just found a 'ol boat anchor!" Heather responds "Oh Shut-up!

"The Killer returns to the scene of the crime."

I feel it is clear that Scott is "Vigil Dodging"

Scott continues to lie to friends and family about his location when making the calls from and leaving the Berkeley Marina.

1:46 Between Scott and Brent Rocha - Scott - "I made a boat anchor with some cement and I put some in the driveway here" Brent say "so they are piecing all of this together? Scott "Yea, piecing together" Brent says "Circumstantial" Brent "So the police have already asked you about the cement?" Scott - "Oh yea..."

Modesto Police Sgt. Michael Zahr added, "We are currently investigating the break-in, and we are not prepared to release much information. Detectives are working on leads that may solve this case soon.''

Police said a window had been broken to gain entry. Three days later, on Wednesday, January 22, 2003, the Modesto police reported that a suspect had been identified in the burglary of Scott and Laci's home. It turns out that it was someone known to Scott and Laci -- someone who had access to their home, with their permission. But police would not identify the suspect or make an arrest. Instead, the suspect cooperated with police interviews and the stolen property was returned.

The suspect's name has not been released and no arrest has been made.

"We will forward it to the district attorney's office and see if they want to file a criminal complaint," Detective Doug Ridenour said during the week of February 2, 2003.

Amber goes public by holding a press conference at Modesto Police Department, just days before the story is about to break in the tabloids that Scott had a "mistress". She tells how she was told by her friend that Scott was not married as well as says Scott told her "He was unmarried"

Scott makes another call to Brian Argain and asks about selling home and if he can sell it furnished.

3:32 Scott speaks with Brian Argain about selling the home and gets the news that he would probably need a court order to sell the home because both he and Laci's names are on the title. He then inquires about renting the house and Brian let's him know it is pretty easy, Scott says "Great"

In an interview Scott claims he cut himself on the toolbox of his truck, on the morning of Dec 24th, and that is where the blood the police found, came from.

Why does Scott want to sell the home so badly, even furnished.

And when Scott finds out it would be hard to sell the home because Laci is still on the title, Scott asks about renting the home, again, this seems very odd to me.

Scott speaks with a reporter Michael Rio and Rio says "I am back on the beat dude" and continues "I am still on your side" before the conversation ends

11:23 Rita Cosby calls Scott and asks for a interview in a message, while listening to the message Scott says "F*ck You"

.11:25 Scott speaks with Eric Olsen

Scott calls the Longview, Washington PD but is referred to the Modesto Police Dept., but does find out that "it was not Laci"

Erases 2 other calls, including one from his Mother that he only listens to a portion of each message.

4:09 Other members of the media leave messages that Scott skips and deletes, even an offer from Larry King Live for an interview.

When Scott listens to the Rita Cosby call and says "F*ck You", this is one of the first showing that he does have a temper of sorts and when he thinks he is alone, he slips, I think.

I wonder why Scott did not want to talk to Larry King or other reporters in an effort to help find his missing wife.

This was Laci's due date, although Scott told Amber the due date was Feb 16th, eventhough it was reported in the newspaper that the due date was Feb 10th..

Also on this day was Amber Frey's Birthday. Scott called her and told her he left some gifts for her in a shopping bag in a parking lot. She went to the location and picked up the bag. Inside the bag was a necklace and a Nora Jones CD "Come away with me".

Amber met up with a former boss that she worked with, who is now her current fiancée. She worked for him between March 2002 - Oct 2002 then Amber branched out on her own. Two months after Laci was missing, they became close and are looking forward to working on their future.

The remains of Laci and Connor were found on the shore of the Berkeley Marina, within miles of where Scott Peterson was "fishing" on the day his wife went "missing".

The extensive search for Laci included regular searches in San Francisco Bay. The partial corpse of Laci and her unborn son, Connor, washed up on shore in April. After the gruesome discovery, divers continued searching the waters for more evidence.

At the time of his arrest, Peterson had grown a beard and dyed his dark brown hair blond. He was also carrying $10,000 in cash and his brother's identification.

The vehicle that Scott was arrested in was not under his name, he used his brothers Identification when asked for ID.

He also at some point dyed his hair and grew a goatee, which he also dyed blonde.

It was also reported he had camping gear in the car as well as 4 different Identifications.

Scott Peterson was arraigned on two counts of murder on April 20, 2003, and could face the death penalty if convicted.

Peterson went back to his roots for a May 2003 pretrial hearing, appearing in court with his natural brown hair color and a clean-shaven face.

Because he faces two murder charges, one for his wife and one for his unborn son, Peterson, seen with his attorney, Mark Geragos, is eligible for the death penalty under California law.

Peterson wanted all members of the media and the public barred from his preliminary hearing, arguing bombshell exculpatory evidence might tip off the “true” perpetrators. Superior Court Judge Al Girolami denied that request, but prevented cameras in the court for the proceeding.
