Looking for Laci

August 17, 2004

Is anyone at the Modesto Police Department still looking into Laci Peterson's disappearance? Are any of the DA's detectives continuing to dig? Or is the investigation over?

As horrifying as the "Amber Tapes" are, they fail to advance the prosecution's theory of Laci Peterson's death. Far more fruitful would be a thorough review of the victim's conversations, concerns, habits and hang-outs.

As PETERSON WEST drifts into it's third month of circumspect evidence, disappointment is giving way to anger over the fact that police and prosecutors have steadfastly refused to investigate the victim in this case -- Laci Peterson.

Mistress Amber's sorta - secret sex tapes are titillating, but missing from this trial are the items that would almost certainly yield substantial details of evidence if properly probed:

• Laci Peterson's diary
  

• Laci Peterson's personal notes
  

• Laci Peterson's e-mails and Internet activity
  

• Laci Peterson's phone records
  

• Laci Peterson's date book or personal calendar
  

• Laci Peterson's home videos and tapes

The star witness' attorney, Gloria Allred, can hold all the press conferences she wants, but the truth is -- Amber Frey is NOT a heroine. The heroine of this story is Laci Peterson.

If the case is to be won, it will be won by dismissing the dazzling nonsense of the defendant and the frantic phone fantasies of his girlfriend, and embracing the verifiable and reliable evidence supplied by Laci Peterson. It's there. It always is. She left it for us. And it may not be too late to collect it.

I hope somebody is still looking for Laci.

The jury's willing, but the case is weak.

Guilt Beyond a Reasonable Gender Gap

To the pro-prosecution pundits currently pulling out their hair, complaining that NO defendant can EVER be proven guilty if jurors continue to insist on giving him the benefit of the doubt -- I say, welcome back to December 24, 2002 and an eerily empty house on Covena Avenue.

Welcome back to the reality that the "presumption of innocence" isn't a courtroom technicality to be tacked on at the end of a big, juicy media event. Now you again see what the victim saw: the monster unleashed, coming toward you, attempting the murder of an innocent person.

When little Danielle van Dam's mummified remains were located after her disappearance -- discarded near a trash heap at the side of a road -- investigators found very specific hairs and fibers still clutched in her hand.

There are no perfect murders.

Carol Neulander, the Rabbi's wife, remarked to her daughter on the phone that, "the bathroom man" had strangely appeared in her driveway for a second time.

Murder isn't simple. Murder is not clean and it's not fast. It involves unforeseeable variables, and by definition, involves at least one other person. Even if that person is dead -- evil will tell on itself.

Slain business executive, Kathleen Peterson, was found with fatal head injuries identical to those of her husband's murdered best friend.

Once detectives know the truth of what happened, proving it beyond a shadow of a doubt is very easy. The truth is the truth, it's not good or bad -- suspicious or normal -- it's obvious. There should be no difficulty finding evidence of what's evident.

And this is how good prosecutors remove the defendant's presumption of innocence -- by overwhelmingly proving otherwise.

On Christmas Eve, with an 8-month pregnant wife at home, Scott Peterson wasn't where he should've been: at or near his house, ready to offer help and support.

There's no gender gap in that argument.

It's reasonable to conclude -- the attentive husband and loving father-to-be, went missing at the same time his wife went missing.

Beyond those two co-incidents, the suspicious details of Peterson's alibi are presumably irrelevant to the immediate question of Laci Peterson's whereabouts. As of December 24, the nervous husband claims he went fishing. Fine. He's stuck with that story should it later fall apart.

Presuming Mr. Peterson to be innocent, the focus stays on Covena Avenue and finding the missing wife. Since Peterson was the last person to see her alive, his cooperation is critical.

He must stay here in this house with us.

Looking guilty, and seeming guilty, and acting guilty -- isn't the same thing as BEING guilty. (Danielle van Dam's parents can testify to that conundrum in the court of public opinion.) Sometimes, bad things happen to bad people.

Presumably, in the days following a pregnant woman's kidnapping, a worried, anxious, scared, innocent husband doesn't need an attorney -- he needs a detective. Why treat him like a defendant in a murder trial and force him to get all lawyered up?

Modesto detectives publicly claiming Scott Peterson was not a "suspect" in the first weeks following the disappearance -- while in reality, rushing to the judgment that he'd already killed and disposed of his wife -- was skirting the rules, hoping the end would justify the means. It hasn't.

Leaking guilty gossip to the press for months, and spreading rumors about finding damaging proof against Peterson, when in fact, investigators were coming up empty -- was a pre-emptive strike, sure to backfire if hard evidence wasn't eventually discovered. It wasn't.

A year and a half after Laci Peterson's death, her family and friends, the State of California, and the entire nation are forced back to that agonizingly empty house -- staring at a monster about to pay the enormous price for his own prejudice, presumption of guilt, and abandonment of principles.

The Other Woman's Other Tapes

August 16

Word has it that, beyond the tapes handed over to authorities, Amber Frey made several other secret recordings of dialogues with Scott Peterson.

Newsweek is reporting that there are conversations in which Frey becomes unhinged and screams at Peterson, "What about me?"

It's rumored that phone records will reveal a "pattern of stalking" by Frey. On Christmas Eve, Frey apparently left 14 messages for the accused murderer, and she continued to make recordings weeks after police had stopped.

"Gloria is an officer of the court. She should be more concerned with the administration of justice than having press conferences to bolster Amber Frey, her client."

"This is the end for Scott Peterson. A thinking person could not accept a person, a human being, acting like this while his wife and unborn child are missing in the days immediately afterwards. You'd have to be a monster in order to do this -- a monster, a killer."

"This guy -- If he really missed his wife, if he really missed his unborn child he wouldn't spend hours, every night, talking about books and movies."

"The most telling thing about these tapes … is what Amber COULDN'T get Scott to say. … It's what he DIDN'T say and what he DIDN'T confess to, and of course you know we're all gonna find out on cross that the police coached her. … They tuned her up on how to get as much information out of him as she possibly could -- and she didn't get it."
-- Yale Galanter, defense attorney

Star Witness Shines in

Premeditated Testimony

Week #11
Friday August 13


To be sure, there was no evidence of premeditated murder caught on tape, but after three days of listening to the MPD's secret wiretaps, no one in Redwood City -- or any where else in America -- could have a reasonable doubt that both Amber Frey and Scott Peterson purposely premeditated the stilted dialogue in their supposedly "candid" conversations.

Over the course of countless hours of previously recorded testimony, Fresno's Frey actually proves herself to be a far slicker attorney than either Rick Distaso or Dave Harris. Peterson's self-effacing self portrait as "pudge boy" is a somewhat successful -- though sappy -- performance, but as a secret agent who's deep behind enemy lines in an under-cover sting, Amber is "amazing."

Peterson's girlfriend giggles, gushes, cajoles and complains, doing everything she possibly can to lure the defendant into a confession. Of course, he never bites. Frey casts her net wide, and despite coming up empty -- keeps on fishing, sometimes for an hour at a stretch. Still, Peterson simply will not swallow the bait, and instead, uses Amber Frey's recording sessions much as he used the tender traps of the Gloria Gomez and Diane Sawyer interviews -- as an opportunity to display what a fine catch he is.

It's likely Mr. Peterson suspected his calls were being monitored. If so, the paranoid playboy never lets on and neither does Frey, but in light of the tragic events occurring in Modesto during the dates and times of the wiretaps, the question, "Who's zoomin' who?" matters very little.

The ludicrous lies Frey was able to massage out of her perfect paramour are nothing short of shocking. Reportedly, jurors were gawking, glaring, sneering and openly staring at Scott Peterson as the weird words on the wiretaps were played aloud in court.

Amber Frey phoned in most of her performance, nonetheless, media commentators and World Wide Web Peterson West watchers seemed generally in agreement -- DA Brazelton's slinky, sexy, star witness successfully made herself over and came off as a quiet, cautious, conservative, perhaps even courageous young lady.

Considering how smoothly the irrelevant but damaging testimony poured into the record, one can't help but wonder if Stanislaus prosecutors haven't themselves been lured into a tender trap of some sort.

Theatrical wizard, Mark Geragos waits in the wings, tracking every bit of Amber Frey's dialogue, listening for his cue -- poised to take the stage in a completely un-scripted, un-rehearsed scene with the star witness on cross-examination.

Rick Distaso calls Dave Harris

August 10

Whatever his motives, lead attorney Distaso chose not to question star witness, Amber Frey, opting to give the top assignment to soft-spoken, second-string prosecutor, Dave Harris.

Frey -- wearing a conservative, black, pant suit -- spent her first day on the stand detailing the lies Scott Peterson told her at the beginning of the month-long sexual affair.


HARRIS: Notice if he was wearing a wedding ring?
FREY: He did not have a wedding ring on.
HARRIS: At any time during dinner [Nov 20] did the defendant mention he was married?
FREY: No.
HARRIS: Did he tell you he lived in Modesto?
FREY: No.
HARRIS: Did he tell you he had a child on the way?
FREY: No.


There was no testimony about murder, but late in the day, Harris got the witness to recount how Peterson reacted when confronted with lies about his marital status.


HARRIS: Did he explain what it was he was lying about?
FREY: He said he lied to me about ever being married. He said sometimes for himself it was easier to say he was not, or never had been married.
HARRIS: Did he say why he lied about not being married?
FREY: It was painful for him -- that he had lost his wife.
HARRIS: Did he use those words?
FREY: Yes. He said it was entirely too painful for him to talk about.

Through June 2004, the Peterson case has cost prosecutors and police over $2 million, according to state and local officials.

"I suspect she may be disseminating information to Scott Peterson concerning what law enforcement knows about this investigation."

Dirty Dish

In the most important case of his career, Rick Distaso seems determined to play trivial pursuit.

Distaso had a witness from a satellite TV company take the stand and swear under oath that, just a few cold weeks after Laci Peterson's Christmas disappearance, Mr. Peterson added the "Playboy Channel" and other X-rated stations to his previously R-rated package.

Making Dish Network employee, Donald Toy, the nation's first "forensic grief specialist," Mr. Distaso fought tooth and nail to get the single strand of information entered into evidence, and the signal sent by this tawdry tidbit of testimony is clear: ordering pay-for-view porn is behavior inconsistent with a man whose wife has gone missing.

Recalling the twisted, sin-spin of Clinton special persecutor, Kenneth Starr -- Rick Distaso represented to the court that Scott Peterson's switch in home entertainment choices was a TV guide to his guilt, since the defendant felt free to make X-rated changes as early as January 8, 2003, knowing his murdered wife was never coming home.

Of course one could always argue that the "horny bastard" planned to cancel his porn movies if and when his wife returned. In fact, the subscription was cancelled on February 18 -- but, the DA implied the cancellation was suspicious as well, coming on the same day police showed up for a second search of the defendant's home.

Far more telling than Scott Peterson's attempts to hide his dirty movies from the government, is the fact that his paranoia was completely justified.

CourtTV's Mute Button

August 5

Why have the gossip-giddy anchors at CourtTV, "the investigation channel," remained silent on the latest investigation in the Peterson case?

Stanislaus County's DA Brazelton says Scott Bernstein, a private investigator hired by CourtTV to snoop for exclusive scoops, is being charged with: five felony counts of impersonating an officer, four misdemeanor counts of fraudulent use of a badge, one misdemeanor count of fraudulently using identification, and one misdemeanor count of simulating an official inquiry.



Although continually judging and jaw-boning about Scott Peterson's guilt, neither Lisa Bloom, Kimberly Guilfoyle Newsome nor Catherine Crier have muttered a single word about the guilt of their own Scott -- Scott Bernstein.

Well, the answer is obvious: the non-stop Talking Heads at CTV are pleading the 5th.

HARSHLY JUDGED

August 3

Judge Alfred Delucchi excused jurors and severely reprimanded Rick Distaso after learning he had failed to share evidence with the defense about witness #100, Lissa McElroy, who had just testified that when she tried to help the defendant select pictures of Laci Peterson for the press, Scott picked inappropriate photos.

On cross examination, it was revealed that no such photos could be located, but that the DA presented the witness anyway.

"I have no excuse," Distaso confessed.

Delucchi tore into the prosecutor in open court: "There comes a point where I just lose my patience and this is that point. So, you can just sit down now and be quiet . . . Enough's enough . . . I've had it. This has been a constant refrain in this case. This is going to have to stop."

After the normally jovial judge finished screaming at DA Distaso, he called jurors back and instructed them to discount and strike Lissa McElroy's entire testimony.

"I had a dream last night that there was a jury rebellion. I hope it doesn't come to pass."
-- Judge Delucchi apologizing to jurors for repeated delays

the other victim

August 3

If Scott Peterson killed his wife, Laci, "on or about and between December 23, 2002 and December 24, 2002" -- as the State maintains -- then he murdered her while she was 8 months pregnant and not due to deliver her baby until February 10. Putting religious debates aside, the medical and scientific implications of the State's contention lead to the reasonable conclusion that Laci Peterson's pregnancy was terminated as of December 24 and the person who was to be "Conner" never separated from his mother.

The evidence suggests otherwise.

Laci Peterson's December 23 check-up proves that Conner Peterson was about 31 weeks along, but when his body was recovered, he appeared to have been a full-term baby. Also, the corpse may have been subjected to human manipulation.

DA Distaso will need to approach Count II of the Peterson murder indictment with the solemn dignity that Baby Conner's situation demands. At the same time, Distaso will have to vigorously argue against the mountain of direct and circumstantial evidence that contradicts the state's theory of what happened to Conner Peterson.

Rushing past the reality of Baby Conner's autopsy, prosecutors apparently intend to call scientific and medical forensic experts who will introduce information to jurors about a rare phenomenon sometimes called "coffin birth" -- a spontaneous, postmortem separation through the birth canal. The defense team plans to have those same witnesses tell jurors there are many, many reasons for doubt. The State's experts will be forced to testify that, considering the condition of his remains, it's reasonable to conclude the baby could have advanced as far as 38 weeks -- which is to say, beyond the projected due date.

Reversing their traditional roles, while the Defense points to the facts, the State will insist the entire matter is a mystery and flatly argue that we have no way of knowing what happened to Conner Peterson, or why or how or when -- therefore, the notion of a Christmas Eve termination of pregnancy cannot be completely ruled out.

Assuming Laci Peterson was killed the same day she went missing -- the law can make no distinction between her and her unborn baby. What Laci suffered, Conner suffered. But other than Scott Peterson's lies and his perfect parking stub -- not one shred of proof will be presented to jurors that supports Count II of the State's indictment.

Plenty of evidence, including Baby Conner's age, indicates Laci Peterson was not murdered in her home on Christmas Eve, but rather, that she was lured out of her home and whisked away in a vehicle where she was transported to an unknown location and lived for weeks. Evidence, including the tape found knotted about Baby Conner's neck, suggests Laci Peterson and her baby were separately disposed of at the Bay, in separate locations, perhaps at separate times -- in late February and early March.

Ignoring the facts surrounding Baby Conner's journey from his Modesto home to Brooks Island, simply to support the prosecution's theory of his mother's death, is not justice. The DA's determination to try this case as a purely circumstantial double-murder, precludes any other prosecutor from using the discarded direct evidence in a separate trial for Conner Peterson.

The World According to Amber

In a letter to her father, Ron -- Amber Frey reveals how she sees her choices in life:

"You can choose to remain a virgin until your married -- and then never be asked, or you can have consensual sex and get pregnant."

Beyond the obvious absurdity of the statement, Frey's comments offer a frightening insight into her desperate world-view. She continues: "Then you have two choices -- terminate the pregnancy, or thank God for the blessing. I've chosen to give thanks for the two wonderful children I love very much."

Interestingly enough, when Modesto police demanded Amber Frey produce evidence to confirm her story of an affair with Scott Peterson, she turned over several unused, wrapped condoms which she said were certain to have Peterson's fingerprints on them.

July 22

Anyone who's followed this case knows the State is hiding more evidence than it's showing.

Ingenious Internet detectives and obsessed Cyber-Sleuths have combed through and catalogued every incriminating item and damning bit of dialogue in this affair, and the list is endless. It may be taking the People months to prove their case, but a few hours on the Web is all any juror would need to find Scott Peterson guilty as hell.

More maddening to the message board prosecutors than the State's awkward introduction of evidence, is the State's withholding of evidence. Complaints are being lodged all over the World Wide Web.

• The prosecution is framing the evidence to support a one-trip theory.
  
  

• They're marrying themselves to easily discounted suppositions, simply to seem consistent.
  
  

• Instead of laying everything on the table, the State is trying to anticipate the defense team's response.

Mr. Distaso's flailing campaign has turned his biggest fans into his boldest critics. Not surprisingly, the same feverish folks who dismiss the concept of "innocent until proven otherwise" as legalistic mumbo-jumbo, have now decided they don't need to wait for a closing argument to declare that DA Rick Distaso is GUILTY.

After months of making dire predictions about the miserable disaster PETERSON WEST was sure to be -- I must say, there's one thing about this mistrial of the century I never anticipated: the public tide of opinion turning so quickly and so sharply against the prosecutor bringing Laci Peterson's case.

From Bulfinch's Mythology:

He pined away and died;
and when his shade passed the Stygian river,
it leaned over the boat to catch a look of itself
in the waters . . .

Modesto Police Detective Ray Coyle was forced to admit that at least 40 of the 300 registered sex offenders and parolees who lived near the Petersons' home were never contacted or located.

"As far as I'm concerned, I'm the only guy who I know for sure didn't do it."

• Any in the cast of Skeeter and Dirty's Excellent Adventure.

• Richard Alex Jacobs who was in the neighborhood on 12/23 and 12/24 -- knocking on doors and asking for gas money. One woman reported he stole $50 from her and fled on a bicycle.

Stone Cold

July 17

Standing in front of the jury box, magic man, Mark Geragos dramatically dropped the five-pound anchor police had located in Peterson's boat into a plastic pitcher, which was recovered from the defendant's warehouse.

Detective Henry "Dodge" Hendee had earlier testified that the MPD believed they had found the water pitcher Scott Peterson used to mold cement anchors.

Presto!

In an instant, the DA's concrete proof that Peterson made anchors to weigh down his wife's dead body, completely disappeared -- right before the juror's eyes.

The anchor was about half the height of the pitcher and much smaller in diameter.

Now, You Don't.

If the anchors don't fit --

You must acquit.

Hendee: "If you look carefully ..."
