| UPDATE 4/13/04 RON FREY HAS RECEIVED HIS SUBPOENA TO TESTIFY IN THE TRIAL September 6, 2003 -FULL STORY The woman who admitted having an affair with Scott Peterson is being protected by private guards and now lives in a gated community with round-the-clock security, her father said Friday. "She hardly goes out now," said Amber Frey's father, Ron Frey. "She goes to work. She's got to live, but she mostly stays home." Amber Frey, now 28, burst into the public spotlight in January when she announced that she had had an affair with Peterson, saying that he had told her that he was not married. Ron Frey said he was concerned for his daughter's safety after she became ensnared in a case that plays across tabloid news racks and cable television news shows. "What good would it do to put her in witness protection? Everybody knows her," Frey said. "Sure there's security. I cannot account for the police, whether they've got people involved or not." Modesto police said Frey cooperated with their investigation, and court documents show that officers tapping Peterson's phones monitored a call between her and Peterson on the night of Jan. 20, almost a month after Laci Peterson was reported missing. Prosecutors and Gloria Allred, the attorney representing Frey, have declined to say if the Fresno massage therapist will testify at Peterson's preliminary hearing, now set for Oct. 20. But Ron Frey said his daughter was dismayed after the hearing was pushed back earlier this week. "She's anxious for this to be over," he said. "She was very disappointed when they postponed the preliminary." Allred said Friday that she could not comment on whether any recent development made Frey fear for her safety."We have no comment on whether or not she's taking extra security precautions," Allred said.
