| 8/30/04 NATIONAL ENQUIRER From: RickAMorti1 SCOTT'S LOVE LETTER TO AMBER FROM PRISON BY DON GENTILE SYNOPSIS Just days after he was charged with double murder, Scott Peterson sent his mistress Amber Frey a shocking letter from prison, The NE, has learned exclusively. And incredibly, in the letter, Scott-who's accused of killing his pregnant wife Laci and their unborn child-tells Amber how much he treasures children! Scott refers to Amber's young daughter and writes: "My prayers are always that you and the little one are happy..you deserve the best in the world." He tells Amber that he hopes she is still able to "laugh" with her child and then bizarrely adds: "Children are miracles... a gift." The NE is the only news organization to obtain a copy of the letter. In it, Scott apologizes for the mess he'd gotten Amber in and says, "You don't deserve this burden." He hopes she isn't "being hounded by the press" and promises to do everything he can to keep her out of the public 'circus," as he calls it, which erupted after the bodies of Laci and son Conner washed up on a SF Bay shoreline. The love letter, to put it simply, is "just plain weird," Dr. Suzanne Lopez, an LA psychotherapist specializing in relationships, told The NE. "Certainly his own wife and child are not going through his mind. It's his lover that is still in his head," said Lopez, author of "Get Smart with Your Heart." "A love letter is totally inappropriate. What would be appropriate just after his arrest is a letter that shows how distraught he is that his wife and child were found dead. He gives Amber no sense of any terrible grief he's going through. "The letter shows his arrogance, his feeling that if he still loves Amber, she must still love him." Scott, who was arrested on April 18, 2003, wrote the letter to Amber from his Modesto, Calif., jail cell just two weeks later a source told NE. "He stuffed it into an envelope with several other letters he wrote to friends and forwarded it to his half-sister Anne Bird. There was postage due." Instructions to Anne, which were included in Scott's packet, asked that she forward his Amber letter to her at American Body Works in Fresno, where Amber was working at the time. "Anne followed Scott's instructions but was mystified that he was writing his girlfriend," said the source. "She realized Scott was still in love with Amber." Curiously, Scott asked Anne to photocopy Amber's letter and the others contained in his mailing and save them for him. "Anne found out later that Scott thinks he's going to go free and wants the letters he wrote to use in a book he may write about his experience," said the source. When contacted by the NE, Anne refused to comment about any letters Scott wrote from jail. NE has learned that Scott has sent dozens of letters to friends, some supporters who have written to him. Scott penned his letters on a yellow legal pad, usually complaining to the people he sent them to about the tiny stub of a pencil he was allowed to use in jail, and how he had to sharpen it on the cement floor. In one letter, he tells longtime friend Aaron Fritz and his wife Heidi that he hoped to be exonerated but says, "I fear that could be some time." He adds that he wished he could be spening time with Aaron and his wife. Scott was unaware that Fritz, who had known him since high school, had been speaking to police about suspicions and unanswered questions he had about his long time pal. Scott was unaware that Det. Al Brocchini wrote in a report, that NE obtained, that he'd told Aaron he thought Scott was dangerous. "I told Aaron that I would not allow my wife to be alone with Scott because of these unanswered questions," Brocchini wrote. In a letter from jail to his friend Guy Miligi, Scott thanks him and his wife Jodi for their "help when Laci was missing." By this time, however, Miligi, who'd golfed with Scott during the weeks before his arrest- may have had his own suspicions. Brocchini noted in a report that whenever Miligi asked Scott about Laci's disappearance, Scott seemed to "beat around the bush" and "would look down or away." In letters to supporters who wrote him in jail, Scott seemed to beg for sympathy. "I find it so hard in this place to mourn them," he wrote to a Mark in one letter. And to a woman in Massachusetts, Scott wrote; "Your son is lucky to have you and I can only imagine the joy a child brings to a parent." HOME INDEX LACI SCOTT TRIAL ALIBI-WITNESS LIST WIRETAPS |
