"Sweetie, I can't
give you answers."

1/1/03 wiretap PETERSON: What's your favorite movie? FREY: My favorite movie? One that I've seen often? Well, the most recent would be -- I'm, I'm, I'm very fond of the new, um, ROMEO AND JULIET. It took me while. The first time I didn't like it but, it grew on me. I --- I cry every time, still when I see certain scenes, just, I -- I just can't help but cry. PETERSON: What scenes? FREY: Huh? PETERSON: What scenes? FREY: What? What ? PETERSON: What scenes? FREY: Oh, the one -- well -- have you seen it? PETERSON: I don't think... But I know the story obviously, so... FREY: Well, when you get to -- the one where they're in the water. Well they're in a swimming pool and he confesses his love. |
"I had nothing to
do with this, and I just, you know, I hope that you are not involved to any
degree. ... You know, what I mean by that is, obviously you're not involved
-- but I mean I don't want you to have any repercussions from
people."
-- Peterson, 1/8/03

"Okay would I be safe
to say, well okay let's see -- and I know you've never said this, but you've
indicated so many other things that I could assume, possibly -- that she's
missing because you love me, right?"

"I wish you were here and I could be with you. I'm just waiting -- anticipating the day that I will get to see you again. "
". . . at the same time -- I had said to you, you know, at least if I don't get to see you, if I could talk to you every day it would mean so much, cause I can't see you -- but at the same time, phone calls are impersonable (sic) to a point -- but yet are an open door to communication. . . "
"I know, but you haven't elaborated on that. It doesn't really say anything that I need to hear. "
"I need to hear things as well as you know seeing -- hearing is such a great thing for me. I need to hear, I'm the type of person -- I need to hear -- you know?"
"You know I told you before, you could call me -- anytime."
"I was praying that I could talk to you. It's just been so frustrating."
"And I've been thankful for that and, you know, and just trying to stay positive and -- and go to church."
" Tell me... Do you
think I'm intelligent?"
Frey, 1/6/03 (10:16

"I'm reading the
Bible."

"Robbers don't steal
people... pregnant people."
"You don't think you
KNEW you lied to me?"
"You can't answer
the questions about you and I? This isn't about Laci."
"Do you remember a
conversation where you said, 'I've thought about you' but said you didn't
want to share it over the phone, and I said 'well write me.' Well I haven't
received anything yet in the mail."
"Do you still feel
that you're very adamant about not having another child?"
"Seems there's a lot
of things you 'don't know' and 'can't talk about.'"
"So should I be afraid
of you? You've lied to me, as well, about something so big"
"That doesn't make
sense. That doesn't make sense to me Scott."
"You've got a missing
pregnant wife and you're talking to your girlfriend? Hmmm. Did you think
about that one?"
"You sound like you
have information! What is it you're hiding?"
"I'm just still stuck
on -- why you can't tell me?"
"Don't you think this
is just so incredibly cruel?"
"How am I supposed
to deal with the media and the police?"
"I did everything
possible to protect my baby and me. I told you this. I worked 40 plus hours
a week -- because I wasn't gonna ask for any help from any one. And I did
this on my own. I went to school. I had my baby, I did this all with her.
I didn't need this in my life. I didn't need for somebody to come in and
fuck all of it up. I have worked too hard! And you weren't supposed to be
someone that would take me down. You were supposed to be somebody to be there
for me!"
"You don't think you're
gonna need my help in this, Scott?"
"You know, you don't
have to tell me directly, and it's not something -- it's something I would
LIKE to hear, but Scott, I -- uh -- I hear you, --- that's not your baby...?"
"I just have to say
it sounds to me, in your choice of words, that this baby is not yours.
Again silence. Remember, actions speak louder than words, Scott."

"But I'm saying, now,
was Laci aware of the situation about me? ... She was? Really? How did she
respond about it?"
"An 8-month pregnant woman -- 'fine' about another woman? Oh! She was okay
with it, but you... you continued to lie to me and couldn't be with me at
the holidays, but she was okay -- she was fine with knowing about me?"
"What I want you to tell me is everything that happened from the -- beginning
the night before Christmas Eve."
"Wasn't it raining on Monday?"
"Deceit from Day One. I see this elaborate lie unveil in front of me. And
what I see before me is unbelievable. This can't be happening to me. This
can't be happening to the person I met November 20th. This person that I
was led to believe was the person
was this, caring, attentive, thoughtful
man. And what's revealed to me is all this, and all these lies. I don't know
what -- I don't know what it is I'm supposed to perceive of all
this."

"I have a hard time
finding you innocent in this, Scott."
(after a lost connection)
"He'll call back."
Frey, 1/12/03

"Do you know where
she is?"
"How can you not possibly be involved with her disappearance?"
"Do I just like . . . is it written all over me, you know, 'sucker' or something?
'Oh, here's a person I can easily take advantage of, she's just so
naive.'"
Frey, 1/14/03

"This has been an
unbelievable mind fuck."
Frey, 1/15/03

"I was reading the
cover today -- the cover of ROMEO AND JULIET, um, and actually I should probably
grab it again so I don't screw up what it says, but -- 'This brilliant and
contemporary re-telling of the world's most tragic love affair makes this
wildly inventive ROMEO AND JULIET unforgettable.' It just brought me back
to the movie you want me to watch,
LOVE
AFFAIR.
You now, and I think for the most part, the movie LOVE AFFAIR is just the
coincidence... of my life, and yours, and the parallel to this movie is just
very coincidental I guess. Would you agree?"
Frey, 1/25/03
wiretap
"From what I know,
Scott ... this was all a plan. The thing is you know where it went wrong
for you, Scott, in this plan is you didn't think the media would be so big
and I'd ever learn of this. That's where it went wrong, that it was so huge
and I did learn of this."
Frey, 2/7/03
wiretap
"Okay. But the pay
phones in Fresno, generally you can't receive calls. Um -- I've had some
issues with pay phones."
Frey, 2/19/03
wiretap
"I think right now
for me, Scott, and really everything that has happened in the last 50-plus
days for myself and, and the family, and you and everything that's going
on right now -- I think it would be best if you and I didn't talk any more
until there's a resolution in this whole thing."
"The best movie ever
made is THE SHINING."

"Hey, I'll be in I'll
be in Paris tomorrow. I'm flying to Normandy right now and hopefully the
phone will be better. So I... I can't hear you right now. Are you
there?"
"In my mind we would
be wonderful together, and I could care for you the rest of our lives."
"And we could fulfill each other, forever."

"And last night -- well, this morning too -- there is this fucking dog next to this hotel. This dog that just keeps barking. Oh, I want to kill it!"
"I am determined to go out and jog. I'm going to fight pudge boy."
"If you need a timetable, I can't give you one."
"Our relationship will grow and when it's the right time it will be beautiful."
"You are so special . . . I want you to go back to that party and sing."
"I'm here for you. . . I am and I will be."
Peterson, 1/4/03 wiretap
"I need a better vocabulary, or a book or a thesaurus or something, to find the right words to describe you. "

"Don't change just
because someone like me has lied to you."
"I cannot explain
to you now."
"I never cheated on
you."
"I can't explain
everything."
"I wouldn't say adamant,
but [having a child] it's not in my thoughts currently.
"
"I can't say
anymore."
"Sweetie, we can't
talk about it."
"I can't give you
answers."
"Our hope is -- it's
a sad hope -- is that, well we need a tip. That's why we have such a big
reward. We just hope that someone's holding her for her child, and that we
can get her back with a tip. "
"She's missing because
someone abducted her. ... That's what we think happened. ... She would not
have run off. Someone took her. "
"You're so
special."

"I've got my Bible
in front of me."
(referencing the Bible)
"I need to get some good soil for us."
"When you get all the facts, it'll make sense to you."
"I can't tell you these things."
"Those details are the ones we can't talk about."
Peterson, 1/12/03

"I also have nothing
to hide in her disappearance. And if you, you know, if you want to go to
the police, that's, you know, fine."
"That house in Modesto. The house where Laci disappeared."

appearance)

I pulled over and threw up when you cried."

"Is there some way
for us to see each other, Amber?"
"I just need to tell you how much I care about you ... And I desire so much
to be, you know, for the rest of our lives, your best friend, your biggest
comfort, and the second-most joy in your life."
"I just know that if we got to sit down ... I think of how both of us could
be experiencing something so unbelievable that I think it would help both
of us."
"You know I'm not a monster."
"I can tell you -- but not on these phones."
"What would be a good time that you would be near a pay phone that maybe
you could call me ...and tell me, and I'll call you at a pay phone -- from
a pay phone?"
2/8/03
wiretap (pay phone) PETERSON: You know all the answers to the things you want to know. FREY: I do? PETERSON: Yes. FREY: I do? PETERSON: Yes. FREY: How do I know? PETERSON: I wish I could tell you, but you've guessed the answers to all of them. FREY: How do I have the answers, Scott? PETERSON: Well, you don't have the answers, but you've guessed at them and you know them and it's just gonna take time and trust for me to -- not trust -- but time for me to be able to tell you. |
2/19/03 PETERSON: Goodbye for now. FREY: Good life... now? PETERSON: Goodbye for now. FREY: Goodbye Scott. |
"The fact that Scott Peterson's favorite movie is THE SHINING -- I think, is the bombshell of the afternoon. It gave me more chills than when I actually saw the movie."
