I used to fish with my daughters for perch and we would go to quiet spots where there hadn't been a mans footprint in decades. We never saw law enforcement of any kind. Not even a game warden.
Why risk driving on the freeways through some of the most heavily patrolled country in the US when he coud have buried her in the Delta?
Wouldn't he have tried to avoid driving around with a body?
Drop the body off in the Delta, then drive to the Bay? mapquest.com/Delta
he did it so he could get that launch ticket giving him an alibi so he had the perfect excuse why no one saw or talked to him that day....HE WAS BUSY !!! what perfect proof a machine that can't talk, no eyewitness.
Oddly enough, this is the worst place to go if you are looking to avoid detection or hide something. If you did happen to come across someone at one of those "quiet spots," you'd probably remember exactly what he looked like -- even 20 years later.
On the other hand, if you walked down one city block in New York in the middle of the day, you would probably get back to your office and wouldn't remember a single thing about any of the hundreds of people who crossed your path.
Possibly because the ocean is deep and he was hoping that the bodies would NEVER surface.
The answer to that is simple: Scott Peterson hoped that he could dump his wife close enough to the shipping channel that her and the baby's remains would wash right out to the ocean!! What do you think all his waterway "research" was about?
Probably cause he knew that things do not usually wash up in the bay, they are usually washed out to sea!
