Modesto Police Detective Allen Brocchini testified that he saw "freshly dried" concrete on the edge of the Petersons' driveway and collected it for testing. Laci's brother Brent Rocha said he asked his brother-in- law what became of concrete anchors he made and Peterson replied he had used them in the driveway. |
Scott Peterson stored this 14-foot aluminum boat in his fertilizer warehouse. Whether his wife knew about the boat, which was purchased on Dec. 9, is a key issue in the trial. Prosecutors have theorized that Peterson used the boat to dispose of his wife's body. |
Controls to the Petersons' Christmas lights were in one of two sheds on their property. A neighbor testified she observed the lights come on during the afternoon of Dec. 24, but Peterson told police he did not turn them on. |
The tan tarp found in the shed was drenched with gasoline from a leaky gas blower. Crime scene technicians hung it on a fence to dry out. In his opening statement, prosecutor Rick Distaso noted that gasoline kills biological material, such as DNA and blood. |
The Petersons' backyard included a patio, a hot tub and a shed. When police searched the shed on Dec. 27, they found a tan tarp under a leaf blower.17 |
Peterson said he went fishing about two miles from the Berkeley Marina near Brooks Island. He described the island as having dilapidated piers and a "No Landing" sign. |

Peterson had several fishing licenses, including this one valid for Dec. 23 and Dec. 24. Prosecutors say the fishing trip Dec. 24 was a cover story for disposing of his wife's body, although the defense claims there was nothing unusual about his trip. |
While the lures Peterson purchased Dec. 20 were found unopened, a tackle box in his boat contained several older lures. |
Police searching Scott's Ford pickup on Christmas Eve found these umbrellas, which Scott said he used at fertilizer trade shows. |
