| RICKAMORTI1 PREGNANT AMBER MOVES IN WITH LOVER NE EXCLUSIVE BY DAVID WRIGHT January 27, 2004 synopsis Pregnant Amber Frey, star witness in the Laci Peterson murder case, has moved in with her doctor boyfriend as they celebrate the news that their baby is due in April, and is a boy! And in one of the great ironies of the case, it was accused killer Scott Peterson,who helped bring the couple together! "They couldn't be happier about having a baby together-especially since a recent sonogram told them it's a boy," said a friend of the pair. NE first broke the story of Amber's new romance and pregnancy and has now pieced together more of this amazing story. The couple has known each other for two years, since Amber began working with the doctor's pain- racked patients. Just before romance could develop, Scott came into her life and it was no contest. Poor Amber was so afraid of Scott's daily movements, and one day the tracking device LE planted in his truck, showed he was close to her home. She was terrified-and she turned to Dave for support. He lost no time in getting to her house to be with her. "Amber was so upset and afraid he stayed the night, sleeping on the couch." With Scott on the loose and Amber's nerves jangling, Dave began spending more and more time with her. "Her police minders were in on the secret - and they were very happy that with Scott out there, she was under what amounted to near 24 hour protection," said the friend. "Now a wedding is definitely in the cards, although not until Amber has testified at Scott's trial." "They're very happy and Dave can't wait to be a dad." "He has a wonderful relationship with Amber's daughter," her father Ron Frey, told the NE. "It's something you can't fake and the whole family was delighted when we watched them ogether at Christmas and New Year's." They the gave up their own apartments and moved in together which was a major step and a clear sign that the are very serious. Amber will be about seven months pregnant when Scott's trial begins- a poignant reminder to jurors of Laci, who was eight months when she disappeared. And the pregnancy could be a plus for her when she faces what she's dreaded for months- a hostile cross-examination by Geragos. "Now if Geragos tries to rip her apart, it could rebound and hurt him," said a source close to the case. "The jurors won't take kindly to a pregnant woman being hounded-especially when the case centers on a murdered pregnant young woman."
