THREE OTHER WOMEN MISSING
DID LACI'S HUSBAND KILL BEFORE?
WAS LACI HER HUSBAND'S ONLY VICTIM?

Sources say that police are eyeing Scott Peterson in connection with he disappearances
of Krisitin Smart, Kristen Modafferi and Evelyn Hernandez and her son Alex.
Like Laci, Evelyn's body was found in San Francisco Bay.


Scott Peterson has shown such a lack of emotion over the murders of his wife and
unborn son that some investigators believe he may be a
psychopath with ice blood in
his veins and they're asking if he's killed before, say sources.


The double murder of Laci and baby Conner is so shocking that her friends and family
now wonder if she really was his first victim or his FINAL one.


And the mother of Kristin Smart, a student who vanished while
at college with Peterson, tells Globe, "I want Scott thoroughly investigated
by police for any connection with my daughter's disappearance."


A source on Laci's case says, "This man is so cold blooded that nobody working on the
case against him would be suprised if he's hunted down other women.  It's unusual
for a man to suddenly turn into a cold blooded killer at age 30.  Has Scott Peterson
killed other women? That's what everybody is asking."


And fomer FBI special agent in charge Ted Gunderson tells GLOBE,
"Psychopaths don't think like normal human beings.  They're so
emotionally cold, they can take and pass a polygraph to fool you.


"Anyone who can do what Scott is charged with has the personality type to have killed
before.  We know that he has traveled to numerous cities in California.  Police
departments are no doubt sharing information about unsolved homicides where
there could be a Peterson link."


The handsome fertilizer salesman has been discussed as having a possible connection
to the disappearance of women in these three unsolved cases;


1. Kristin Smart  a 19 year old college student who went missing from Cal Poly Univ.
Peterson was going to school there about the same time and that's where he meet Laci.
A local newspaper the Telegraph and Tribune in San Luis Obispo, received an anonymous
letter claiming that Kristin's body had been dumped in nearby Lopez Lake, Kristin has
never been found.  Her mother Denise, 55, tells GLOBE, "The FBI wanted to interview
Scott at the time but he never came forward for questioning. He's in jail right now, so
there's no reason why police can't speak with him about it.  I need to know  why he was
on that list and what connection he had with my daughter.  I've also been contacted by
someone saying that Scott used to date my daughter."


2. Evelyn Hernandez and her son Alex.  Like Laci, pregnant Evelyn's body was
discovered in San Francisco Bay long after she vanished.  Evelyn, 24, and her 5 year
old son Alex, who disappeared May 1, 2002, was discovered last July 24.


3.  Kristen Modafferi.  The 18- year old coed from North Carolina was taking a
summer photography class at the University of Califorina Berkeley when she vanished
June 23rd, 1997.  She was last seen in the Lands End area of San Francisco,
close to where Laci and Connor washed up.  Kristen has never been found.


Laci's parents and the rest of the family are haunted by the fact that Scott may have
been hiding  a terrible secret, " reveals a source close to the investigation.  "He might
have killed before and managed to keep his awful past hidden from the rest of the world,
including Laci.  "They are all horrified to wonder if Scott had blood on his hands from
other murders in the area.  Laci could have been living with a killer all
this time.  As far as she knew Scott was a fertilizer salesman with
whom she was going to spend the rest of her life.


Peterson's violent demeanor was seen by a neighbor, who spotted him kicking one of
Laci's cats after she disappeared.  "There is clearly a link between someone who can
abuse an animal or child with no remorse and a psychopathic killer," Tampa, Fla,
psychologist Dr. Lois Mueller tells Globe.  "Often, they have uncontrollable
rage and take out their anger on anything weaker than themselves.


"There have been studies showing that serial killers abused hapless
animals in their youth.  People who abuse animals are not to be trusted
and wouldn't have a second thought about killing a pregnant woman."


And signs of Peterson's cold loner side, showed themselves as early as high school, say
sources.  Ed Ventura, one of the accused killers teamates on the Univ of San Diego
High School golf team, remembers, "He was the biggest snob.  He was always talking
about how
good his game was and how much better he was then others.  We always
wanted him to play on our team, but when it came to wanting to be
around him, we would stay away.  He was a loner.  He was the kind
of guy you would walk by and not even notice."


When Laci's body found was found, her mother Sharon called Peterson on his cell phone
and asked him to come identify her.  "If Scott really cared for Laci and Connor, he would
have been on the first plane to San Francisio.  "Instead his voice was cold and distant. 
He didn"t seem to show any emotion.  Scott gave
SOME EXCUSE ABOUT HAVING THINGS TO DO IN SAN DIEGO.


Now that Peterson is in custody, experts will grill him to determine what triggers his
temper, says former FBI agent Gunderson, "Whether it's greed, resentment at being
trapped into fatherhood or hatered of a certain type of woman."


"Ted Bundy had a deadly obsession against petite brunettes with
their hair parted down the center and he was a classic psychopathic
killer who operated for years before geting caught.  People who knew
Bundy never saw his depraved side.  He seemed like a nice guy to them.
  "Is it possible that Scott has a Jekyll and Hyde personality like Bundy had?

RESPONSE BY RICKAMORTI1
The thing that was most striking about this article is the picture of  Kristen Modafferi.
She is a dead ringer for Laci!  Unbelievable. Gotta love the comparrison to Bundy and
Hyde.  The tabloids all have stories and some new pictures this week.  Most of it is
becoming a rehash for those of us who have followed  this case closely.  There are
new pictures of Amber and Scott.  One with her sitting on his lap while he grins and
wears a Santa cap!   If I finding anything else new I may put it up as tidbits
.
