Where Was Scott?

Where was Scott?

Where Was Scott? The question of Scott Peterson's whereabouts before his arrest in San Diego may finally be answered.

Peterson left Modesto about a month before police arrested him for the murder of his wife, Laci, and their unborn son.

His half-sister now says that Scott went to her house in the Berkeley hills to escape the media.

She says he spent time gardening and playing with her kids and even filed a police report about graffiti vandals in the neighborhood.

Peterson hid from media in Berkeley

"Weeks before his arrest, Scott Peterson stayed with a half-sister in the Berkeley Hills, far from reporters who had flocked to Modesto to cover the disappearance and murder of his wife, Laci, and the couple's unborn son. More Details"

Scott Peterson's half sister's name is Anne

On a day of fastbreaking developments, the focus in the case becomes squarely aimed at Scott Peterson.

It begins on Thursday night when Peterson breaks his silence and gives a few brief comments to a pair of television reporters.

Hours later, the Modesto Bee hits the streets with a story saying investigators have told Laci's family that Scott was having an affair and had taken out a $250,000 insurance policy on her. The family also was allegedly shown pictures of Scott with another woman.

With the story still evolving, Peterson calls Ted Rowlands of KTVU and says the Modesto Bee story was a "bunch of lies." He denies he had anything to do with his wife's disappearance.

Call the pet psychic! She can talk to the dog and find out what really happened.

Then have her talk to the dog in the oj simpson case and solve that one for oj.

It says scott peterson did some gardening, I wonder what he was hiding.

Somewhere on one of these threads, someone posted an article from Purgatory that said Jackie Peterson's father, John Harvey Latham, was murdered in 1945. Apparently he was a junkyard owner in San Diego. He phoned his wife (Helen) one evening at 9 p.m. to tell her he was on his way home from work, but he never made it. Jackie was 2 at the time. Latham's body was found outside his office the next morning. He'd been bludgeoned to death with an iron pipe. A former employee of his was convicted.

And, humorously, I think some of the folks at Purgatory got confused due to something OUR Jackie once told us. Our own Jackie has told us that her father was a detective. Someone on Purgatory, posting under the above article there, said that they'd thought Jackie Peterson's father was a detective, but that now they'd found out he was a junkyard owner.

Thanks for the pings. I'll be glad when the pre-trial comes. And, now I'll have to keep up with this case and Kobe Bryant's; being a LA native. Geez, what a day!

Exclusive: A Glimpse Into Peterson's Jail Life

http://www.ktvu.com/news/2342681/detail.html

MODESTO, Calif. -- Scott Peterson endures endless hours alone and isolated in his 6-by-9 maximum-security cell, the target of a constant chorus of jeers and taunts from unseen inmates housed on the other tiers of the Stanislaus County Jail.

That description comes from James Soares, a potential three-strike candidate who occupied a cell next to Peterson in the maximum-security tier of the jail for several months. In an exclusive interview, Soares has given KTVU's Ted Rowlands a glimpse of what everyday life has been like for Peterson, who is awaiting a September preliminary hearing on charges that he killed his wife and unborn child.

"It's hell," Soares said of life at the jail. "It's hell for everybody, not just for him…but for everybody. You are locked away from people…It's just hell. Especially here, this is craziest jail I've ever been in in my life. (There is) constant, constant yelling and screaming."

Many of those taunts and screams are aimed at Peterson, who is finding out first-hand what it's like to be a celebrity inmate within the prison culture. Soares said the inmates are aware of who Peterson is and why he is there. He said many of the inmates were openly hostile toward him.

Many of those inmates were also in jail the night Peterson arrived. A crowd had gathered outside the facility, carrying signs condemning him. Catcalls rained down on him as he was led handcuffed from the car.

Since that night, Peterson has let his hair go back to its natural color and shaved off a goatee. He has also settled into a prison routine that included the two men -- who could see each other -- spending hours playing chess on a makeshift board.

"It goes back and forth, he wins… he's all right (as a chess player)," Soares said. "We made a board…I numbered the squares… I just yell out set (piece) to number and he just moves the piece to that number. "

Aside from the chess match, there is a small television located outside his cell that Peterson shared with Soares. Jail officials also allow inmates hygiene items, five books, 10 pictures and legal paperwork in their cells. But mostly, Peterson spends a lot of time quietly lying on his 2-inch-thick mattress.

Although Soares didn't bring it up, there have been reports that say that Peterson receives numerous letters from supporters and female admirers. He also gets three meals a day, a shower every other day and has access to a pay phone.

Peterson only leaves his cell for two 90-minute periods a week in the jail's rooftop exercise yard and also visits from family and his defense team.

Soares said as he grew to know Peterson, he began to feel sorry for him.

"I'm not passing judgment," he said. "I feel sorry for him. I know a lot of people will probably hate me for saying that but I feel that he's caught up in something that's way out of his control and that has taken on a life of its own."

Soares said the two have talked about a lot of things, but not about the double homicide.

"I always talk about my case, but he never has," Soares said. "I can't comment on that (whether or not Peterson is guilty). No way. One thing I'm not going to do is…I'm not going to judge him. I'm the last person in the world to be judging anybody. My opinions about anything concerning him are my opinions and I'm going to keep them to myself."

Recently, Soares said he was moved to a different cell and has lost contact with Peterson.

runningbear, would you use your ping list to let everyone know that tonight on PrimeTime Live 10/9 Central they are doing a segment called:
"In the Shadow of Laci Peterson."

It evidently is about other cases that have similarities to Laci's, like the (Hernandez?) case.

I am sure Gregaros will be watching closely.

Thanks, RB! I saw this come on a while back, but I think we had company or something, and I was unable to watch it. I hope to see the whole thing this time.

Yeah we can hope. But I think we'd have to "do something" to get THAT woman to go away!! Actually I find her husband as repulsive as her. What a pair, I can see how they ended up with each other and I can certainly see how they produced what they produced!!
