| From: RICKAMORTI1 LACI DIED ON SCOTT'S BOAT SHOCKING EVIDENCE HE LEFT BEHIND! SOME INVESTIGATORS NOW BELIEVE LACI DIED ON HIS BOAT! by Don Gentile and David Wright synopsis The 14-foot boat that Scott Peterson bought two weeks before his pregnant wife Laci vanished is the crucial piece of evidence that will send him to death row, insiders say. The NE has learned that prosecutors in Modesto, intend to show at Scott's murder trial that he bought the boat as part of a premeditated plot to murder Laci. What's more, some investigators believe that while Laci was brutally attacked in her own home, she may have actually drawn her last breath as Scott transported his wife in the boat- wrapped and weighed down with cement anchors- to her watery grave. Prosecutors are going to try to prove that Scott bought the boat with murder on his mind," said a close source to the case. "He needed it to transport Laci's body to San Francisco Bay and dump it, and as backup for his alibi that he was fishing when Laci' disappeared." The NE has learned exclusively that Scott did not store the boat at the warehouse he used as a fertilizer salesman, he hid it at a seperate storage facility, Security Public Storage in Modesto- and he told no one, including Laci, that he'd bought it. Prosecutors will point to a fatal mistake they say Scott made: He left a pair of pliers in his boat that contained a strand of Laci's hair. But since Laci never even knew about the boat , she couldn't have been on the vessel before she disappeared. "It was only after Laci disappeared that Scott told his wife's relatives about the boat, saying he'd been saving it as a surprise for Christmas Day. That did not sit right with Bruce Peterson- no relation to Scott- who sold Scott the 1991 Sears Gamefisher, its 15- horsepower outboard motor and boat trailer. Scott, who paid $1,400 in cash for the boat never said it was a suprise for Laci, according to Bruce. The NE learned that Scott never mentioned the boat to his lover Amber Frey either. Scott bought the Gamefisher last Dec. 10th, three weeks after he meet Amber at the World Sports Cafe near her home in Modesto. "Police were intrigued by the timing of the boat buy," said a source close to the case. "By then, he was obviously obsessed with Amber. He's told her he'd never been married, and he'd given her reason to think they had a furture together." Investigators believe Scott's growing feelings for Amber gave him a huge motive for Laci's murder. "And they're convinced that on the day he bought the boat, Scott was already planning to kill Laci and dump her body in San Francisco Bay off the Berkeley Marina on the day Laci vanished." The boat was too small for sturgeon fishing. "That boat is for lake fishing, not the bay" said Dennis Deaver, owner of the Marina. Sturgeon are an unlikely catch for a fisherman in a solo boat because the fish can weigh up to 100 pounds and be six feet in length and are hard to haul in without help. The detectives' suspicions about Scott where also heightened when he couldn't recall an important detail of the fishing trip. As investigators talked with Scott two days after Laci disappeared, one of them- an avid fisherman- inquired about preparations Scott made to catch sturgeon. "What bait did you use?" the cops asked. Scott could not remember." The Le looked at each other with raised eyebrows, another insider told the NE. One of the LE said he could remember the bait he used when he was young and this guy can't remember from 13 hours ago. Connie Fleeman also added more weight to the fishing trip that never was by saying she saw Scott on DEc. 24 and there was no fishing gear in the boat. Police believe Scott's plan first involved moving the boat from the secret storage facility to his warehouse. The move occured sometime after Dec. 20th because Laci was in the warehouse that day with Scott and would have seen the boat if it was already moved. Late on the night of Dec.23, Scott attacked Laci in their home, police believe. LE think he then took her body to his warehouse, wrapped her up, put her in the boat, hooked it up to his truck, drove to the Marina in the dead of night and dumped her body in the water. He then returned to Modesto. Most believe Laci died in her home, but they do not have indisputable evidence of this. "Lack of that evidence has led to another theory from LE -some of them now believeLaci died after he put her body into the boat," said a close source. Laci may have been drawing her final breath as Scott loaded her onto the boat-making her death even more horrible. "She was wrapped up with weights around her neck and feet and hands, placed in the back of the boat and then driven to the SF Bay." Detectives know that sometimes a victim can be knocked unconsciousness and the killer believes ther are dead. Later that morning, on X-mas Eve. Scott headed back to the marina to pick up a time stamped receipt from the marina's boat ramp machine as part of his alibi, police believe. The central role of the boat in Laci's murder- and Scott's sloppiness in covering up the crime-will be key to a conviction in this case. Scott's boat was impounded early in the case and it yielded key clues. Hair was found on a pair of pliers in the boat that were tested for Laci's DNA. If Laci did not know about the boat how did her hair get in the boat? LE believes Scott used the pliers to help him wrap up her body and he also made another mistake- cement residue was found in the boat. LE found cement products at Scott's warehouse, at the storage facility he secretly stored his boat and at his home. AS NE reported he made five anchors but could only account for two. Police learned he made the anchors before Laci went missing. Scott's lawyers filed court challenges to the DNA testing and pointed to evidence that a sheriffs dog, TWIST, failed to detect and cadaver scent in Scott's boat. That evidence "destroys the theory on which the prosecutions has based its case", McAllister has charged. DA Brazelton, in legal papers answering McAllister, revealed that Twist did show an interest in the boat when he sniffed around it at Scott's warehouse and did show interest in containers nearby. The heavy smell of chemicals hindered Twist from going to full alert, Brazelton wrote: adding, "That leads one to the obvious conclusion that Laci Peterson's body was in the warehouse and the boat."
