Cops Quiz Maid as they Follow Trail of Blood

A wet mop found in Scott and Laci Peterson's kitchen after she disappeared
has cast new suspicion on the missing woman's husband. As the Enquirer has
reported, police believe Scott mopped the kitchen floor after he returned home
from his fishing trip and BEFORE he reported Laci missing.


Now police have interviewed the Peterson's maid, who told them she worked at
their home on Dec. 23rd, the day before the disappearence, and mopped the
kitchen floor clean, a source close to the case revealed.


The maid was interviewed by Detective Al Brocchini for more than 90 minutes. 
"She said she then rung out the mop so it would dry quickly," the close source
told the Enquirer.  "Detectives are questioning what
reason Scott could possibly
have had for mopping the floor again."


In another development, police found blood in one of the Peterson's vehicles
and sent it out for testing.  But when asked about the blood, Scott gave
conflicting explanations. He told
Diane Sawyer on "Good Morning America"
that there would be "plenty of blood" inside his pick-up because he frequently
cut his hands while working as a fertilizer salesman.

But questioned later that day by a local TV interviewer, he changed his story,
saying he cut his hand in his truck the day Laci disappeared. "I was reaching
into my toolbox and cut my knuckle," he said. " there's a bloodstain on the door."


Peterson also told a TV interviewer that he'd spoken to Marc Klass, who's
daughter Polly was kidnapped and murdered and who is now an advocate for
missing children.  But Klass told FOX Greta Van Susteren that
he'd
never spoken to Peterson!
