| Apr-14, 2003 Body of infant, adult wash up in Richmond; Modesto police called in as a precaution Laci Rocha Peterson A badly decomposed body was discovered Monday on the beach at a park near Point Isabel, one day after an infant boy's body was found along a trail not far away. As part of their investigation, East Bay Regional Park district police summoned police from Modesto, where officials have been probing the disappearance of 28-year-old Laci Peterson for months. "What we've done, as a precaution, is we've notified the Modesto Police Department," said Norman Lapera, chief of the park district, which is handling the investigation. "We have their investigators responding to the scene here ... and that's just a normal precaution." Modesto police arrived by helicopter in the late afternoon, but a department spokesman downplayed any connection to the missing woman. "All it is at this point is they had a body wash up," said Modesto Sgt. Ron Cloward, who has headed the search for Peterson. "We have no indication at this point that it has anything to do with Laci." Officials said they could not immediately determine the body's gender or race. Peterson disappeared from her Modesto home Dec. 24. She was eight months pregnant, due to give birth to a baby boy in February. Peterson's husband, Scott Peterson, has been questioned about her disappearance but never named a suspect. Scott Peterson has told police he saw his wife the morning she disappeared, as she left their house to walk the dog. He said he went fishing that day at the Berkeley Marina, several miles south of where the body washed ashore. Investigators searched the area around the Berkeley Marina in the weeks following Laci's disappearance. On Sunday, the infant's body was found along a trail near the Richmond marina by two people walking their dog. Authorities said the baby, with its umbilical cord attached, had been dead for some time and was lying in grass near the water. *************** POSTER'S RESPOND ************* From: Di (DCHM8253) Apr-14, 2003 I walked in the door and I heard on Fox news something about an adult body and a fetus were found in CA. THAT's ALL I HEARD.... so I hopped on here, as I knew my buddies would know something. Please keep posting - I hate to say it, but if it's Laci and Connor - then there could be closure for Laci's family. And.... if it is Laci - may Scott be brought to justice (edited to say - if he's guilty). Everyone - I'm usually one who will defend someone's innocence until it is actually proven - unfortunately, I've proved Scott guilty in my mind! *********** From: Samantha (SAMNTHA) Apr-14, 2003 I'm in this state of disbelief and I am shocked I am hoping in some way it's not them. How horrible, just so horrible. *************** HOME INDEX FOUND Page 2 FOUND Page 3 LACI CONNER EVIDENCE-NEWS PRELIMINARY HEARING ALIBI-WITNESS LIST AUTOPSY WIRETAPS |
