MODESTO, Calif. -- A detective has testified at Scott Peterson's preliminary hearing that Peterson bought a boat the same day he told his mistress that his wife had died and he was facing his first Christmas alone.
That was about two weeks before she disappeared.


The fishing boat became part of Peterson's alibi when his pregnant wife, Laci, disappeared two weeks later, on Christmas Eve. Peterson said he was fishing that day.

Detective Allen Brocchini's testimony at Peterson's preliminary hearing in Modesto, Calif., is designed to show how the defendant was allegedly plotting his wife's murder before he returned from a Christmas Eve fishing trip and reported her missing.

Brocchini said during the first hours of his investigation at the Peterson home, he took a loaded .22-caliber pistol from Peterson's pickup truck, providing the first hint that Peterson owned a weapon. He also had investigators take freshly laundered towels and a mop and bucket from the house.


It's not yet clear whether Peterson's mistress, Amber Frey, will testify when the hearing resumes Wednesday.


Peterson was arrested after the bodies of his wife and unborn son surfaced months later in San Francisco Bay, about 3 miles from where he said he was fishing on the day before Christmas.

The first part makes no sense to me. Amber Frey claims she did not know he was married until after her death.

He told Amber Frey he was a widower.

I don't believe anything Amber says.....

I don't believe either of them.

But if Amber Frey is going to be portrayed in the movie, I think Tonya Harding would fit the bill.

very funny duck , i think u r right about Tonya Harding. they kind of look alot too. i dont believe amber, but i am going to wait until all the facts r in about what they found in the house, before i make a decision on scott.

That still makes no sense. If he told her he was a widower that is not grounds to convict him of her death. Hope the prosecution has better than that.

If old Scott was going for looks, he went to the wrong woman. That poor woman is pitiful looking. Laci was cute as can be....hmmmm...

This whole story makes me ill. I hope they fry that sicko.

Hmmmm......I think what they're attempting to do is "set the stage" that he was planning her death two weeks BEFORE she was killed. By purchasing that boat, discussing with his girlfriend "being alone on Christmas"..........doesn't look too good for ole Scotty-Boy.

Personally, I believe he did it......and the girlfriend knew nothing of his plans. Very sad.....very sad..............p

It's Friday. You're allowed.

Mine is too. It's been a long week.

You are right GD,I thought she reminded me of someone, probably why ppl are having a hard time believing anything she says, but as sad as it is, he is starting to look guilty.

I agree with Petal Pusher. Think he's guilty... So so sad...
