PROSECUTORS HYPNOTIZE LACI LOOKALIKE

August 20, 2003 -- The prosecution in the Laci Peterson murder case hypnotized a dog walker who resembles her in hopes of poking holes in husband Scott Peterson's defense, sources told The Post yesterday.
Cops believe Scott murdered Laci last Christmas Eve, before driving her body to Berkeley, Calif., and dumping it into San Francisco Bay. The defense has claimed witnesses spotted the pregnant woman walking her dog in Modesto at the time Scott Peterson allegedly murdered her.

To cut off the defense, prosecutors hope to show those witnesses were mistaking dog-walking Modesto resident Kristen Dempewolf, 34, for Laci, sources told The Post.

Both women were at about the same stage of pregnancy on Christmas Eve. Dempewolf delivered her baby at a Modesto hospital in early January - around the same time Laci Peterson would have given birth to son Conner.

Dempewolf's name surfaced on Monday, when unsealed court documents listed her - misspelled as "Deppenwolf" - as a witness interviewed under hypnosis. Investigators hypnotized Dempewolf so she could specifically recall when and where she was walking her dog on Christmas Eve, sources said.


Prosecutors need to discredit witnesses who reported seeing Laci walking her dog on Dec. 24 so they can defend their theory that Scott killed Laci in their home "on or about and between" Dec. 23 and 24 and dumped her body near San Francisco.

"The handler at the time declined to identify herself or the dog. "

Reached at his home yesterday the dog declined comment referring inquiries to his attorney.

Remains to be released to "next of kin". This could get interesting.

[Spunky]

Thanks RB for your continued threads.

I am still checking in, waiting for the preliminary to begin.

Thanks again for your hard work, keeping us all up to date.

Hey Ray: What the heck did the Judge mean when he stated that "because this is very early on in the case the possibility exists that the real perpetrator may still be at large"????????!! Watch big nose hang onto THAT one!!

[RGSpincich]

Where did you see that?

[Devil_Anse]

Yeah! Where did you see that??!?

[Sandylapper]

Thanks, rb! We may be getting somewhere now. "Real" info is coming out!

[Canadian Outrage]

It's in the second article up above. It starts, Girolami sites 18 reasons .... then it is near the bottom. It is just before that next title about Hypnotising Laci Look alike!!

[Canadian Outrage]

Maybe the Judge is just humoring Geragos. After all MG HAS to make a showing of "real" evidence on September 2nd!! I don't for a minute think that the Judge thinks there is another perp out there.

[RGSpincich]

Ugh! Thank you. The jury will make short work of any such "possibility".

[runningbear]

You know, I am surprised that the Petersons are challenging Rochas of who owns Laci and Conner. Maybe that gag is really working... ;o)

heehee....
