Linda: and as someone who married a high school sweetheart and has been married to the same person for 30 years, I think the marriage should come first, then the babies.
Amber Frey said she met Scott on 11-20. Scott told Laci "early in December" about the affair.
I don't think people should bed someone they have only known a few weeks. Of course this doesn't reference the fact that Scott is/was married to a woman who was shortly to bear his child.
Not my name on ebay.

Valleygirl - My qualifications are:
Married over 35 years

And I agree with everything you said in your last post. 
Are we having a mis-understanding?

no, Linda, I was actually thanking you (in my way) for backing up a post of mine way back there. Helen disagrees with my questioning Amber's morals. She said something about "in this century".

Valleygirl - Great. I thought I'd said something you'd taken differently than I intended. You and I are from the old school. And, as you know, things have really changed. Not always for the good either, imo. I would not have slept with anyone I'd known for such a short period of time either.

Valleygirl, it's OK to post rumours because everything we're hearing is mostly heresay anyway. We're all just speculating. Scott could be perfectly innocent and we could all be wrong. (???)
P.S. Wow, are you and Linda ever the same! It's refreshing to hear about couples who are in it for life.

It doesn't matter how you feel Linda, it's how good you look, and you only look 19, if that, plus you're gorgeous, (but not quite as radiant as Helen - sorry!)

LOL - You sure know how to flatter an old lady.  And what you said about Helen is okay by me too.
I've never been a very vain woman...character is more important. Know what's funny? When I pass by a mirror I've often asked myself who that stranger in the mirror is. Hardly recognize her, her appearance has changed so much over the years...but I've grown to like/accept her more than I did when I was younger. So each phase in life has it's draw backs and it's pluses.

A store clerk has come forward and said a woman that looked like this missing woman was in the store and told the clerk she was being kidnapped. The clerk said she got side tracked after she left that she forgot to call the police.
Remember, being a RAT like her husband or Gary Condit, doesn't make you a murderer.

A woman has come forward to say that her job at the convienence store has kept her so busy for the past 37 days that she just couldn't get to the phone. There has been a real run on coffee in Northern California this past month. Officials doubted her story until they noticed the cleanliness on the condiment counter and agreed that she obviously had been hard at work. They are sure that she will be first in line for the $500,000 reward and a local spa has thrown in a foot massage to relieve her swollen from constant standing on the job feet.
BTW - What a freaking crock!

I don't think it's the fact that Scot Peterson was a cad that makes him look bad, Reamond. He's a cad who isn't cooperating with the police at all. Is he really interested in finding his wife? Seems like any man would do anything he had to do to get his wife and unborn baby back.
But you're right. Just because he cheated on his wife doesn't mean that he murdered her. But it sure was an inconvenient time for her to disappear.

Can this person be charged with anything if this isn't a rumour? I can't imagine what news like this would do to the family.

Some jurisdictions have on the books a provision called misprison of a felony which "might" apply. In old English law, not reporting a felony you actually witness was a crime itself. In the US it seems that some form of active concealment is necessary to apply misprison.
Some places also have "good Samaritan" laws on the books, but I haven't heard of them being enforced (except on Seinfeld)or seen the actual language of the law.
I don't think there is any criminal law to apply.

Scott Peterson and Gary Condit are the two most unlucky adulters I've ever seen, and they are both from Modesto.

Things that make you go hmmmmm -
News reports today:
Scott tried to sell their home ONE week after Laci disappeared.
Scott traded in Laci's car/truck to buy the new one he just bought.
Looks to me like he might have decided she's not coming home.

Peterson Sells Missing Wife’s Car Also Attempts to Sell Modesto Home
Peterson allegedly looked into selling the home, saying he had issues with it and didn't want Laci coming back to it. The deal to sell the home was scrapped about a week after Scott first began looking into it, according to KOVR television in Sacramento, Calif.
But Peterson, 30, reportedly is driving around town in a new truck these days. He traded in his missing wife's Range Rover SUV for a Dodge pickup truck, sources close to the investigation said. It's unclear what motivated the transaction and Modesto police have not commented.

Okay bear, you're a man [right? ]
I know the theory that Men are Mars, Women are from Venus. So...therefore there are times when the genders don't understand one another. BUT....give me a man's view...do these behaviors seem normal to you? When your pregnant wife is missing?

I think he's preparing his defense for when he's arrested.
Swap a Range Rover for a pickup truck? The man's obviously insane.

Yes Linda, I am of the male gender and have been for my more that 1/2 century.
All along I have thought this guys actions have been suspect. In ANY case of a missing wife or husband, the other spouse is always the first & primary suspect.
Had my pregnant wife not come home, especially on Christmas eve, I would have been calling all of her friends & family & my friends & family attempting to locate her.
The cops would have been called & a report filed (although all of us know the cops would NOT have addressed it for 24 hours or so). Granted no marrage is 100% perfect, 100% of the time & the cops would suspect she had left home, mad or upset & gone to a friends or her parents.
But you cannot place him under suspect just because he had had an affair, (and it take two to tango), he was just a lout for doing so . (And before everyone jumps to conclusions, I am NOT defending his actions in having an affair, it was wrong for him to do so.)
His actions have not done anything to shift suspicion from him and in fact have (in my opinion) made him more of a suspect.
Edited to add.
I too married my HS sweetheart, unfortunately it only lasted 4 1\2 years. A year later I met my soul mate had we have been married for over 26 years.

Alright on you and your soul mate. That's wonderful. Thanks for sharing a little about yourself.
Am I coming across that because he cheated, I think he's guilty? If I am, that's not the case [for me anyway]. It's every action that he's taken since the day she disappeared that leads me to lean towards his guilt. Everything he's done appears strange to me. Plus I have a BIG problem with trusting people who are caught in a lie. I know everyone is different...but loose MY trust and you'll have a very hard time getting it back.

Linda, I think you know well enough, I don't cater to public opinion, I draw my own conclusions from more that one source. I also did not mean to (if I did) infer you judged him guilty because of his cheating ways.
His own actions have have led many to declare him guilty because not of just one action, but of the accumulation of his act.
I'm attempting to withhold judgement until more "positive" evidence, eitherway is provided.

I hope the police went over her car with a fine tooth comb before he traded it in.
The fact that he's thinking of material possessions FOR HIMSELF is unbelieveable, but maybe he wants to have one last hurrah before he gets put away. While all of this is still circumstantial, I haven't heard of one piece of 'evidence' that's in his favour.
My ex thinks he's going to do himself in.

The Modesto Bee's website has a lot of articles on Scott Peterson including an interesting one about "experts" analyzing his recent interviews. It seems he continually refers to Laci and Connor in the past tense, then quickly corrects it.
http://www.modestobee.com
There are many "rumors" that have been brought up in this thread that I hadn't heard before. Many of them were asked of Scott in his interviews and he didn't deny any of them: the curtains being closed, the blue tarp, the neighbor seeing him load something into his truck on Christmas Eve, the blood found in the family cars, the cuts on his hands. He had an explanation for it all.

Oops, forgot to add:
If (please remember the "if" he was involved in her disappearance, he probably had no idea how big this would become. He probably didn't think anyone would check into his alibi or his background and private life. Maybe people might really believe that she just went off.
Unfortunately, most missing persons cases don't attract much interest or it dies out quickly. He probably never anticipated the media circus this has become. If he is guilty, he very well may be the cause of his own demise.

Hi Linda!
He said it was because of the way he was acting. (??) I'll ask him what he meant next time I see him Linda. Myself, I had never thought of that until you mentioned he bought a truck. There are no other suspects (as far as I know) and he's cornered. I think the police are just waiting for him to slip up.
I haven't heard of any searches being made, except for the marina, have you?
