| GLOBE, March 7, 2005 Why Scott Killed Laci.... Her pal reveals shocking truth for the first time Thanks to LilCaliGirl - As Scott Peterson awaits sentencing for the brutal murders of his wife Laci and unborn son Conner, a pal of Laci's has come forward to reveal shocking new details that that unravel the biggest remaining mystery in the sensational case -- why he did it. Pretty Kimberly Christina, who maintained a long-distance e-mail and phone relationship with the tragic mom-to-be, holds the blockbuster key. And she is now breaking her silence for the first time in GLOBE's world-exclusive interview. Kimberly reveals that Laci told her she'd discovered a secret cache of photographs and love letters to Scott from various women -- and Kimberly's ill-fated advice to her close friend was to confront him! Days later, Laci was dead. The shocking revelation comes just days before the March 11 formal sentencing of the former fertilizer salesman, who was found guilty of double murder. On Nov. 12, a Redwood City, Calif., jury recommended that he be put to death for the heinous crime. Kimberly, a 24-year old cervical-cancer patient who lives in Canada, believes Laci was murdered in a fit of rage by her cheating husband after confronting him. "I have a feeling Laci confronted Scott on Christmas Eve and things blew up," Kimberly tells GLOBE. "I believe Laci had enough. Finding the love letters was the last straw." Kimberly says she feels "torn apart" inside, knowing her advice may have led Laci down a dark and deadly path to her gruesome demise. "Maybe if I hadn't advised Laci to confront Scott, she might be alive today," Kimberly laments. She and Laci met backstage at an INXS rock concert in Los Angeles during the summer of 2002. They hit it off and were soon e-mailing each other and talking regularly on the phone. Kimberly claims that Laci, fed up with Scott's cheating, had discussed leaving him after after the birth of the couple's son. According to Kimberly, a tearful, eight-months-pregnant Laci asked for her advice just days before she disappeared from her home on Christmas Eve 2002. The friend says Laci poured out her heart in an emotionally charged phone confession after discovering a small box stashed in a closet at the couple's Modesto home. Between sobs, Kimberly says, Laci described the contents -- love letters and photographs of Scott's girlfriends, including a woman who turned out to be blond massage therapist Amber Frey. "Laci told me she even found a Christmas card that was signed, 'Love, Amber,'" says Kimberly. She mentioned there was a photograph of Scott and Amber together with his hand on her butt." "She also found several more love letters from other women that were addressed to Scott at a Modesto post office box." Kimberly tells GLOBE she believes the phone call was a desperate cry for help. "Laci said she wanted to confront Scott but didn't know how," Kimberly recalls. "She told me she'd caught him cheating after their wedding and had also caught him in a number of lies." "Poor Laci was crying as she spoke to me. She was really upset. She didn't know what to do. But she insisted she didn't want her family to know. She said she didn't want to ruin Christmas for everyone." Kimberly's candid advice to Laci was simple -- confront Scott with the evidence and try to force him to give up his cheating ways. "I tried to give her the best advice possible," Kimberly says. "But that phone call was the last time we spoke. I never heard from her again." Kimberly says she kept the sad and painful secret to herself, but someone must have known because she received an ominous call after Laci's death, before Scott's trial. She says a woman phoned her and told her, "It's in your best interest not to talk about Laci." Notes Kimberly, "I took it to be a subtle threat. The woman hung up without telling me who she was.. I haven't heard anything since." But with Scott no safely locked up and awaiting his fate, she's finally comfortable telling her story. "If only Laci hadn't listened to me, perhaps things would have turned out differently," says Kimberly. "She was the sweetest, nicest person I've ever met. I still can't believe that she's gone."
