National Enquirer - June 28, 2004 Reporter's Notebook #2 by David Wright David Wright has been attending the trial and has a weekly column in the NE. synopsis A hushed court heard how an NE scoop sparked a furious showdown between Scott Peterson and Brent Rocha. Brent told the jury about the day in January 2003- with Laci missing three weeks, when he called Scott and asked him if he'd read the new issue of the NE, carrying an exclusive story revealing his secret affair with Amber Frey for the first time. "He went to the store to get one," said 33 year olf Brent, who is an analyst for the California Department of Justice. When Scott called back, the paper now in front of him, he at first denied, then admitted that the story was true, Brent told jurors. Angrily, Brent asked him, "How do you know Amber has nothing to do with it? It was the moment of high drama that convinced Laci's family that Scott had killed her. "No way," Scott replied weakly. She didn't know Laci existed. She didn't know anything about Laci. The first time she knew she existed was when I told her Laci was missing." Two recent NE scoops were dramatically confirmed by huge, blow-up photos the DA showed the jury. One picture showed the wedding album in the trash at the warehouse featured in the NE March 8, 2004 issue and the second showed the nursery with Scott's belongings and the baby's things pushed to the side.
