@reneenayfabnaynay5679 why don't you be honest for once in your life.
It was a conspiracy. There is no doubt. There was no reason ignore everything that pointed to the burglary. The Hidden Harshman Tip, the Aponte tip
The sightings, Mr R letter confirming the Aponte tip.
All evidence points to the Medina burglary as having occurred at the time Laci disappeared. Merlin, the trailing dog, led Valentin to the Gallo winery, very near the Airport district where Todd and Pearce lived and where stolen goods were recovered. Diane Jackson reported seeing the burglary in progress on the morning of December 24. Tom Harshman reported seeing Laci later that afternoon being forced into a van similar to the one Jackson saw. Adam Tenbrink told his brother Shawn that Laci interrupted Todd and others during the burglary and Todd threatened her. Todd and Pearce gave conflicting information about the timing of the burglary.
There was nothing malicious about Jackie.
When Scott was arrested he had over $14,000 cash with him. Following is the series of events that lead to Scott having so much cash with him. This was testified to in court and bank records confirm it to be true. Most of these exhibits were not made public because they contain personal banking information.
Scott's mom, Jackie, was going to loan John the money to buy out Scott. John was then going to take over the payments.
On April 8, 2003, Jackie went to Bank of America to withdraw $10,000 from an old account she rarely used. She did not know her account number, so she gave them her social security number to look it up. Unbeknownst to Jackie, she was listed on Scott and Laci's checking account as well. (Jackie had opened that account with Scott in 1991. Scott added Laci when they were married and never removed his mother.) The bank gave Jackie $10,000 from Scott's checking account. The withdrawal receipt was entered as Exhibit D8Y1.
Jackie paid Scott $8000 cash for his equity in the Dodge pick up. She paid him cash so he could better negotiate while shopping for a car.
On April 12, 2003, Scott purchased a Mercedes from Michael Griffin. He paid him with 36 $100 bills. Scott had $4400 left of the $8000 his mother had given him.
Scott discovers the $10,000 withdrawal from his bank account. He sees the withdrawal ticket signed by his mom and calls her.
Jackie then goes to Washington Mutual on April 17th and withdraws $10,000 cash out of her account. She gives the money to Scott that day to replace the money she took out of his account. She paid him in cash so that the bank would not put a hold on the funds. Scott now has roughly $14,400 in cash.
Scott is arrested the morning of April 18th . He had yet to deposit the money his mother had given him the day before.
Scott also had some "foreign currency" with him when he was arrested. The 2 bills were photographed with other items and entered as People's Exhibit 293-29. One bill is worth 50 pesos and the other is worth 20 pesos. This is roughly worth $6.40 US. This is not an unreasonable amount of pocket change for someone who had recently returned from Mexico. This exhibit is sealed due to a personal check shown in the photo."
That might be the tenth time I told you this dumby.
The dog.
No I think McKenzi was taken for a walk by Laci after Karen Servas put her back in the yard stupid.
Graybill was the Petersons’ postman, and he delivered mail to the Peterson home between 10:35 and 10:50 a.m. on December 24, 2002. (Exhibit 2 [Declaration of Russell Graybill] at HCP-000005-06; Exhibit 19 [Russell Graybill’s Delivery Record].) Graybill knew the Petersons’ dog, McKenzi, and explained to police (and has recently declared) that McKenzi would bark at him no matter where on the property the dog happened to be. (Exhibit 3 [Statement of Russell Graybill] at HCP-000008.) Whether the dog was in the front or back yards, or even inside the house, McKenzi would bark at Graybill. (Exh. 2 at HCP-000005.)
Conclusion
Russell Graybill told MPD officers on 12-27-02 that the gate was open and McKenzie was not on the property at the time he delivered mail to the Peterson house between 10:35 and 10:50 on December 24. In spite of this information, MPD claimed that Laci had gone missing before Karen Servas found McKenzi in the street at 10:18, put him back in the yard, and closed the gate. The Graybill information shows that Laci was not missing when Servas found McKenzi. She was very much alive, and took McKenzi for a walk sometime after Servas found him and before Graybill arrived to deliver the mail.
Very simple. Why do i need to repeat this to you 10 times. I know.
Because you're a liar. But I'll assume even with your extremely low IQ, you can understand this, and quit posting misinformation dozens of times.

@reneenayfabnaynay5679 They were making additional principal payments on their mortgage.
He sold his truck to his brother to pay for the Mercedes. Since the media destroyed his character he list his job. He sold her car because police did NOT return his truck he was still making payments on. He needed a truck for work. This is not hard.
"Special Agent Doug Mansfield testified that it appeared to him that Scott and Laci were living within their means.
Laci's brother, Brent Rocha testified that Laci was frugal and careful with money and that Scott was handy and had done many of their home improvements himself. Brent testified that with regards to the Rocha family finances, there was no financial motive for Scott to do anything to Laci or Conner. Laci was to inherit $160,000+ from the sale of her grandparent's home. Laci would have received this money after her grandfather died and when she reached the age of 30. (Laci's grandfather was moved into a skilled nursing facility in the fall of 2002 and died in December 2003.) There was another Rocha family trust valued at over $2,400,000. Laci and her two siblings would have eventually inherited half of that estate. Scott would inherit none of this money if Laci were dead.
Scott and Laci's financial planner, Brian Ullrich testified that Scott was funding a retirement plan.
Tradecorp accountant, Jeffrey Coleman testified that Scott received a raise in January of 2003.
Modesto City Auditor, Gary Nienhius testified on direct examination that Scott and Laci's debt ratio had increased from 2001 to 2002. Upon cross examination by defense attorneys it was revealed that he had not been given Laci's 2002 income (over $6000) for his calculations and that this income would have made a difference in his calculations. Nienhius also testified on cross examination that Scott and Laci's credit report showed "paid" and "never late" on all accounts. They had multiple credit lines available to them with zero balances. He testified that Scott paid the premium for Laci's medical insurance on December 23rd, the day before she went missing. Scott and Laci were also making additional principal payments on their mortgage.
Unfortunately, the media did not always pay attention during the cross examination of witnesses. So contrary to what complete testimony revealed, here were some of the headlines: June 17, 2004 "Was money the motive for Murder", August 2, 2004 "Expert: Peterson's Debts Rose Sharply", August 2, 2004 "Peterson plagued by cash troubles",August 2, 2004 "Peterson Debt Mounting Before Laci's Disappearance", August 3, 2004 "Peterson's Finances Unraveled"
The police also planted their seeds of suspicion with Scott's employer, Tradecorp. It was suggested to Tradecorp that Scott was embezzling, but after review, Tradecorp endorsed Scott's management of the company. No improprieties were found.
It was also suggested that Scott was eager to sell their home in Modesto and move on with his life when Laci went missing. We offer the following facts regarding the sale of Scott and Laci's home:
In May of 2002, Laci contacted a realtor in San Luis Obispo about 3 bedroom homes in the $400,000 to $600,000. It was suggested in court that Laci did this in anticipation of receiving her inheritance.
On December 25, 2002, Scott told Agent Mansfield from the Department of Justice, that he and Laci planned to return to San Luis Obispo.
Laci's brother, Brent Rocha, testified that Scott and Laci "talked about moving back to the coast.
In mid/late January of 2003, Scott discusses selling his home with two different realtors, Terri Western and Brian Argain. Scott said to Brian in a wiretapped phone call, "...we're not staying there, there's no way if Laci comes back that we're gonna stay there.." Following are some of the recent event that occurred in their neighborhood:
Laci was abducted on December 24, 2002
The home across the street was burglarized on December 24, 2002
Scott and Laci's home was broken into/burglarized on January 19, 2003 and on at least one other occasion
In late January, a radio show broadcast from the street in front of Scott and Laci's home. They were calling Scott a murder through a bullhorn.
Someone had driven a vehicle into warehouse door of Scott's business."
You need to stop spreading lies. These are malicious and several others have explained it.

@reneenayfabnaynay5679 oh you're still telling those lies.
The did match. Read expert Steven Geblar's testimony.
He also trained the States expert.
He didn't make five anchors he made one. Debunked 18 at trial in 2004.
fictive descriptions of the photographs of the concrete dust, the actual exhibits given to the jury are the best indicator of the soundness of this evidence. It is fair to say that the circular spaces the prosecution saw on the trailer bed are hardly distinctive in appearance, and looking at the photographs of the trailer, it is difficult to make out any circles rather than simply a collection of concrete detritus. Anyone who has mixed even a small quantity of concrete knows how messy it is. Moreover, Phelps, a competitor of Scott’s told the police that he had seen fence posts and concrete on Scott’s trailer in September. Greg Reed, Scott’s friend, told police that Scott had been doing concrete work in his yard in September.
Container to make anchors: The container thought to be the one used by Scott at the warehouse to make the anchors turned out to be the wrong size. They never found any suitable container.
Cement used in Scott and Laci’s driveway:The prosecution expert said the cement missing from the bag found at the warehouse could not be used in the driveway as Peterson suggested, but the defense expert testified it was the same type and he happened to be the one who taught the prosecution expert his trade. So I would defer to his expertise in this instance.
Three of Scott’s friends told police that they had conversations with Scott about purchasing a boat:
Guy Miligi told police on January 4, 2003 that he and Scott had discussed purchasing a ski boat together prior to December, but once Scott joined the Del Rio Country Club on December 1st, 2002, he told Guy he’d be unable to buy the speedboat.
Jodi Miligi told police on January 4, 2003 that she remembered Scott discussing a boat one to three weeks prior to Thanksgiving.
Brian Ulrich told detectives on January 4, 2003 that Scott had been discussing buying a boat for over three months.
Distaso claimed in his opening statement. But police have conceded that witnesses place Laci at the warehouse where the boat was kept a few days before she disappeared. And Scott had put his correct name and address on the pink slip, which the boat’s previous owner sent in to the Department of Motor Vehicles
He calls Lacis mother and asks if she's there. It is after that he said she was missing. Sharon's testimony is evidence of this.
"Lighting" How could he mislead the police. He said there was no "Lighting". Not power. Records and testimony prove this and there was no lighting in the warehouse. It didn't work dumby.
He called Amber back. This was before the vigil. Amber made plenty of calls to Scott. Clearly she was obsessed. But we know she lied about the wiretaps and didn't record all the calls either.

@reneenayfabnaynay5679 Totally unfounded and unproven. When he was arrested, Scott was going to play golf with his father and brother and the reservation was already made for all of them. He had his brother’s ID because he was getting a discount. He never was driving towards the border. His mom testified about the cash money he had in his possession and the fact that the police kept seizing his cars so he took this one and basically had no home and was living with his belongings in his car. He was making a payment on a truck that the authorities had since four months. He had gone to Mexico six weeks before, on a business trip, and came back. The police always knew exactly where he was. At trial, the defense played a taped conversation between Scott and his older brother Joe during which Scott says that it’s better if he doesn’t go play golf with them because he is being followed by the media, and doesn’t want his picture in the press again
His clubs were taken by police.
He was also heading North.
On January 29th , Scott traded in their Land Rover for a 2002 Dodge Dakota pick up. We offer the following facts regarding the trade-in of Laci's car:
Scott had asked several times for his truck to be returned to him (see Detective Grogan's testimony). It was not going to happen so Scott needed to make other arrangements because he needed a truck for work.
The used, 2002 Dodge Dakota that Scott purchased on January 28th was worth less than the 2002 4x4 crew cab F150 the police had confiscated. The suggestion that Scott was uncaring and went to get a new truck while his wife was missing is unreasonable. Scott had a new truck before Laci went missing, but it was in police custody. Her car was traded in for the Dodge out of necessity.
In May of 2002, Laci contacted a realtor in San Luis Obispo about 3 bedroom homes in the $400,000 to $600,000. It was suggested in court that Laci did this in anticipation of receiving her inheritance.
On December 25, 2002, Scott told Agent Mansfield from the Department of Justice, that he and Laci planned to return to San Luis Obispo.
Laci's brother, Brent Rocha, testified that Scott and Laci "talked about moving back to the coast.

In late January, a radio show broadcast from the street in front of Scott and Laci's home. They were calling Scott a murder through a bullhorn.
Someone had driven a vehicle into warehouse door of Scott's business.

Here are just a few sightings
Vivian Mitchell:
has always been very specific about having seen Laci on Chrismas Eve. "I'm sure it was Laci on Christmas Eve morning," she insists. "That was the lady I saw. And she is so striking. Beautiful Lady and a Beautiful Dog." Her husband confirms. Bill Mitchell, a former three-term Modesto city councilman, said he was flipping through television channels when his wife called to him. "She said there was a pregnant lady with a beautiful dog."
Homer Maldonado:
He and his wife had stopped to buy gas at the USA station on the corner of Miller Avenue and Camellia Way between 9:45 and 10:00 a.m. on December 24. After leaving the gas station they drove west on Miller. At the corner of Covena and Miller, Maldonado saw Laci and McK in front of the second house from the corner on the west side of the street (211 Covena). He described her as very pregnant and having trouble controlling the dog. When he checked his rearview mirror, he saw that Laci did not cross Miller but evidently turned the corner and continued walking west on the north side of Miller.
Maldonado reported this to the MPD tipline on January 1, 2003. When he was not contacted by the Modesto Police, he went to the Command Post at the Park where he reported his sighting and spoke to the chaplain. He was never interviewed by the Modesto Police. In July 2004, during the trial, he was interviewed by an investigator from the DA’s office.
Tony Freitas:
Around 10 a.m. on the morning of December 24, Freitas was driving his regular delivery route northwest on La Loma Avenue when he saw Laci and McK near the intersection where there is a small, grassy triangular park, located on La Loma between Santa Barbara and N. Santa Ana.
Freitas reported this to the MPD tipline on December 30, 2002. The woman who took his call said he would be contacted by a detective. Freitas was never contacted by anyone from the Modesto Police Department. On July 29, 2004, during the trial, he was interviewed by a DA Investigator.
Martha Aguilar:
Around 10 a.m. on the morning of December 24, Aguilar saw Laci and McK walking on La Loma Avenue in the same general area that Freitas saw her. She was sure it was Laci. Aguilar lived 2 blocks south of Laci on Covena and they went to the same doctor.
Aguilar’s call to the MPD tipline was never returned. She was never interviewed by anyone from MPD or from the DA’s office.
Gene Pedrioli:
Gene Pedrioli saw Laci and McK around 10 a.m. on the morning of December 24 around the time he picked up a prescription at a pharmacy. He saw them on La Loma Avenue in the same area where they had been seen by Aguilar. He noticed McK because he has a dog the same color. He said that the woman and the dog had to walk around some branches that were on the sidewalk.
Pedrioli made 2 calls to the MPD tip line. He was told that he would have to prove his whereabouts. He thought the police were not interested in his tip. He was never contacted by them or by the DA’s office.
We do not know how far Laci walked on La Loma Avenue after she was seen by Maldonado, Freitas, Aguilar and Pedrioli. She may have gone all the way to Kewin Park before she turned northeast on Buena Vista up to Encina, or she may have turned north to Encina on one of the streets before that. We do believe that she arrived back on her block on Covena around 10:38 a.m. where she was abducted, and where McK was heard barking aggressively by the Krigbaums and was seen in the park at the north end of Covena by Mike Chiavetta.
Tom Harshman, who lived in Modesto, saw something that really concerned him near the corner of Scenic Drive and Claus Road as he was driving with Elizabeth Harshman between 2 and 4 p.m. on the afternoon of December 24. He saw a young pregnant woman being forced into a van. After driving past this scene, Harshman was so upset that he turned around and went back to the spot hoping to find the van still there and hoping to get more information about the license plate number.
He called the police on the same day he saw this. Calls before December 26 did not go to the Laci tip line but instead to 911 or to the main number at the MPD.
When Harshman’s call was not returned by MPD, he tried again. By December 28 when Laci’s disappearance had become public knowledge, he was sure that the woman he had seen was Laci Peterson.
On December 28, Tom Harshman called the Laci tip line twice. His first call on this date was listed incorrectly under the name Harsh and was given Bates Stamp number 14789. The call was given to Detective Holmes. Harsh(man) said that he had called 3 or 4 days earlier on the day that he had seen a pregnant young woman being pushed into a van. There had been a man standing over her as she squatted to urinate with her back up against a chain-link fence. The man was described as 30’s, tall, thin, with ponytail, dirty blonde to gray hair, scrubby looking. When she finished, the woman was shepherded back to the driver’s door of the car, where another man’s arm was seen pulling her into the car. He said the young woman was wearing black pants and a red shirt. He said she had a scared look on her face.
Harshman called back on December 28 with additional information, and this time his name was listed correctly under Bates stamp number 14791. This call also was given to Detective Holmes. Harshman said he had been driving on Scenic east of Coffee when he saw the woman being forced into a van. The van was an older white van with 3 windows and a tan stripe on the side, approximately a foot wide. The woman had dark hair, was wearing black pants and a red shirt. He added that the man was a white male, forties, and was wearing a ball cap.
By January 3, 2003 Harshman still had not received a call back from MPD. He knew that his information was significant; and so he tried again. On January 3, he went to the Command Post at the park and spoke to the officer on duty there. The officer made notes about his information. Harshman described the location of the sighting as the south side of Scenic near Claus Road. He repeated the information mentioned in previous contacts.
Harshman believed his report would reach the detectives and they would do something about it. He was wrong. He did not receive any follow-up calls during the investigation. Nothing in the 40,000 pages of discovery provided to the defense included anything about Harshman’s report to the Command Post. Only during the trial was Sergeant Cloward able to find this report in one of his binders.
About a month later, sometime in February 2003, Harshman’s wife spoke to a relative of hers who lived in New York about the sighting of Laci Peterson near the corner of Scenic and Claus. Mrs. Harshman’s relative shared this story with an NYPD detective. This NYPD detective was so concerned that he contacted the MPD and spoke personally to Detective Grogan on February 14, 2003. What did Grogan do with the information? Nothing at all. Only the tip number and a brief notation were provided in the discovery.
More than a year later during the pre-trial hearings in May of 2004, DA Investigator Kevin Bertalotto noticed the Harshman tip and insisted that Grogan call Tom Harshman and speak to him personally. Grogan did this on May 18, 2004.

@reneenayfabnaynay5679 lies
Show testimony and records proving this?
fictive descriptions of the photographs of the concrete dust, the actual exhibits given to the jury are the best indicator of the soundness of this evidence. It is fair to say that the circular spaces the prosecution saw on the trailer bed are hardly distinctive in appearance, and looking at the photographs of the trailer, it is difficult to make out any circles rather than simply a collection of concrete detritus. Anyone who has mixed even a small quantity of concrete knows how messy it is. Moreover, Phelps, a competitor of Scott’s told the police that he had seen fence posts and concrete on Scott’s trailer in September. Greg Reed, Scott’s friend, told police that Scott had been doing concrete work in his yard in September.
Container to make anchors: The container thought to be the one used by Scott at the warehouse to make the anchors turned out to be the wrong size. They never found any suitable container.
Cement used in Scott and Laci’s driveway:The prosecution expert said the cement missing from the bag found at the warehouse could not be used in the driveway as Peterson suggested, but the defense expert testified it was the same type and he happened to be the one who taught the prosecution expert his trade. So I would defer to his expertise in this instance.
A close look at their finances by certified public accountant Marty Laffer showed that Scott and Laci spent less than they earned each month. In fact, he noted that they paid extra on their mortgage each month. Prosecution witness and TradeCorp accountant Jeff Coleman testified that Scott was set to receive a monthly raise from $5,000 to $5,300-$5,350 in January 2003. And Laci was due to inherit a sizable amount within a few years.
"Totally unfounded and unproven. When he was arrested, Scott was going to play golf with his father and brother and the reservation was already made for all of them. He had his brother’s ID because he was getting a discount. He never was driving towards the border. His mom testified about the cash money he had in his possession and the fact that the police kept seizing his cars so he took this one and basically had no home and was living with his belongings in his car. He was making a payment on a truck that the authorities had since four months. He had gone to Mexico six weeks before, on a business trip, and came back. The police always knew exactly where he was. At trial, the defense played a taped conversation between Scott and his older brother Joe during which Scott says that it’s better if he doesn’t go play golf with them because he is being followed by the media, and doesn’t want his picture in the press again."
"Laci knew about the boat he bought under his real name and address. He paid for it with cash only at the request of the seller. The money was withdrawn from their joint account. At the time, he could have picked other options that were either cheaper or non registered, but he picked a smaller and more expensive boat registered with the DMV because it was equipped for fishing. The owner of the boat filed an NRL with the DMV that included all the information about the buyer. Laci was seen visiting the warehouse so it was not a hush purchase. Brocchini made sure to remove this detail from his official notes when the neighbor told him he saw Laci at the warehouse when the boat was there. The detective tried to make this purchase sound very sinister when in reality, it was not. And Scott did not research currents in the bay because, in fact, the page appeared only a few seconds on the screen while he was browsing for other information on the Internet."
It was found to be too rusty to have been used recently. They lived together so some of their tools were bound to have their DNA, but an apology was presented at trial because the hair could not definitely be identified as belonging to Laci.
Was not tightly wrapped around them either.
