| Oct. 14, 2003 NATIONAL ENQUIRER BOY NAMED SUE From: RICKAMORTI1 Scott Peterson Planned Escape Accused killer tried to buy car on sly Picture: copy of waiver of liability form and ad for car by Don Gentile (synopsis) The Enquirer has uncovered shocking new proof Scott Peterson was getting ready to run from the law just days before his wife Laci and unborn son Conner were found. Shortly before his April 18 arrest, Scott Peterson bought a used car in San Diego near his parents home and told the seller his name was "Jacqueline Peterson." "I asked him whether he was French or something," substitue teacher Mike Griffin, who sold Scott the 1984 Mercedes coupe, told the NE. Peterson replied: "It's a name my parents hung on me, kind of a boy- named Sue type of thing." Continuing his lie, Scott added that people just called him Jack. Jacqueline Peterson is the name of Scott's mother. San Diego criminal attorney David Bartick called Scott's attempt to hide his identity a strong indication he was getting ready to flee the country. Why is he not revealing his identity? It is the type of evidence that can be used by prosecutors to show there was an intent to flee," Bartick told the NE. "he doesn't want to be associated with that car, so there would be no official trace to him." As the NE previously reported, Peterson had discovered a global-positioning device police secretly installed in his truck. He knew cops were tracking him. "Authorities believe that's the reason he purchased another vehicle- one he could escape in," disclosed a police insider. Peterson bought the Mercedes from Griffin on April 12- the day before the body of Scott's unborn child Conner washed up in San Francisco Bay and 2 days before Laci's remains came ashore a mile away. Griffin did not recognize Scott when he showed up at his San Diego condo to answer an ad he'd placed. Scott took the car for a test drive, then bargained to get a good price- $3,600. He left, then returned only two hours later with 36 hundred-dollar bills. Griffin had already filled out and signed the Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability form that California requires for sale of a used car. Scott printed, "Jacqueline Peterson" in the boxes on the form for the buyers name and had 10 days to register the transfer with the state. Suspecting something amiss, Griffin asked Peterson if he had a drivers license. "He never showed me one but gave me a number - J0880056- and said it was a Florida driver's license that expired on Oct. 24, 2004 (Scott's birthday), Griffin told the NE. Clearly, the devious murder suspect had made up that number! Florida licenses have a letter followed, by 12 digits. The fertilizer salesman from Modesto had messed up- trapping himself in his own growing web of deceit.
