Scott Peterson's half-sister writes book, publisher announces Associated Press
MODESTO, Calif. - The half-sister of convicted murderer Scott Peterson has written a book about the "untold story" surrounding the case, the publisher announced Thursday.
Anne Bird was put up for adoption at birth and reunited with her biological mother, Jackie Peterson, and her brother, Scott, in 1997, according to a statement from ReganBooks, a division of HarperCollins.
The book, "Blood Brother: 33 Reasons My Brother, Scott Peterson, is Guilty," is set to go on sale March 1. The publisher says it will detail "the untold story of Scott, Laci, and the Peterson family."
Peterson was convicted Nov. 12 on two counts of murder in the deaths of his pregnant wife, Laci, and the fetus she carried. The jury fixed the penalty at death. Formal sentencing is set for March 11.
ReganBooks in January released the book, "Witness For the Prosecution of Scott Peterson," written by his former mistress Amber Frey. CBS subsequently bought the rights to make a television movie based on the book.

Bump...very interesting..She was not called by the defense to tell how perfect he is.
This is a new one. I never heard about her before. And after hours and hours and hours of Greta, how could she have been so misled
Yes, should be very revealing. Jackie Peterson had two and maybe three children out of wedlock, if I remember correctly, before she and Lee Peterson married. I know there were at least two.
And Gloria is her attorney.....what a shock!
Gloria also is representing the ex wife of Robert Blake and has something to do with a custody suit against Michael Jackson
ooops...Gloria Allred
Next, we'll have Peterson's soccer coach, 3rd grade teacher, his aunt Clara, and college drinking buddy polluting the book racks.
Anne Bird is writing a book!
This may be revealing..Scott spent some time with her after Laci disppeared and she lived near the bay. I knew her husband was suspicious of Scott..but not much has been said either way.
Is that Jabba the Hut?
Jackie is a real piece of work, isn't she?

SCOTT'S OWN RELATIVES
BELIEVE HE KILLED LACI!
And they refused to testify to help spare his life
by DON GENTILE - December 13, 2004
Two of Scott Peterson's closest relatives refused to plead for his life during the penalty phase of his trial -- because they're convinced Scott murdered his wife Laci and their unborn son!
While several family members testified Scott is a compassionate man who didn't deserve to be sentenced to death, The ENQUIRER has learned that his half-sister ANNE BIRD and half-brother Mark refused to take the witness stand because they believe he is guilty.
DIVIDED FAMILY
Those snubs set off a secret family feud as Scott's mother Jackie attempted to line up penalty phase witnesses on behalf of her son. After Scott's murder conviction on November 12, Jackie telephoned Anne -- who refused to
talk to a psychologist hired to prepare witnesses for the death penalty hearing.
"Don't you want to save your brother's life?" Jackie asked Anne, according to a source. But Anne -- who'd once been extremely close to Scott -- had become convinced Scott was a murderer.
"After Laci disappeared, Scott spent a lot of time at Anne's house to hide out from the press," the source said.
"At first Anne did everything to help him. She went to the Berkeley Marina searching for witnesses who saw Scott fishing. She hunted through pawnshops looking for pieces of Laci's jewelry that Jackie believed the real killer stole and pawned.
"But Scott's behavior bothered her. Anne saw him call his girlfriend Amber Frey over and over. She was shocked one day when Scott made a romantic play for her babysitter. She never saw him grieve for Laci.
"In the end, Anne believed Scott did it."
She wasn't the only close family member to feel that way. While Scott's half-brothers Joe and John and his half-sister Susan Caudillo testified during the death penalty phase, his half-brother Mark was noticeably absent.
"Mark thinks Scott did it and he thought so just a few days after Laci disappeared," a Peterson family member told The ENQUIRER.
Mark rushed to Modesto, Calif., with other family members after Laci vanished on Christmas Eve 2002. He spent a week helping in the search.
But he was troubled by Scott's refusal to take a lie detector test.
"Mark inquired if Scott was convinced to take a polygraph if in fact he would be cleared as a suspect," lead Detective Craig Grogan wrote in a report.
Grogan told Mark it would help, but there was no convincing Scott. Mark, a 46-year-old father of four, never attended a single day of Scott's trial.
After the bodies of Laci and her son Conner were found, Laci's family held a memorial service in Modesto on May 4, 2003 -- what would have been Laci's 28th birthday.
Some 3,000 people -- but not one member of Scott's family -- attended.
"We are not attending because we want her to have a peaceful, dignified memorial and not a circus," said Jackie Peterson.
The ENQUIRER, however, learned that Mark wanted to go, but was ordered to stay away. "Scott's father Lee told Mark that if he went to the memorial, he would never talk to him again," said the family member.
thanks
Here's the link for the information on both the Peterson and Rocha families. Jackie had three illegitimate children that she adopted out.

Peterson ping.
These are the two children Jackie abandoned and only told Scott about on the day he married Laci.
Jackie Peterson knew......
Actually, I think there are three.
I was wrong .. two is correct.
