| AUGUST 24, 2003 Accused killer Scott Peterson admitted to girlfriend Amber Frey that he was involved in the disappearance of his 8-months-pregnant wife before changing his story. Sources close to the case said that during a taped phone call between Peterson and Frey, Frey asked her former lover whether he'd had anything to do with his wife Laci Peterson's disappearance. Responded Peterson, according to the sources: "Yes … uh … uh … but no. But I know who did and I'll tell you later when I see you." What Peterson didn't know was that Frey was already cooperating with authorities, who were taping all the phone conversations between the two. It is the first time an account has surfaced suggesting Peterson initially admitted playing a role in his wife's abduction. (read related stories below) Sources told Fox News that Frey has apparently turned over to Modesto, Calif., police between 30 and 40 tapes of her conversations with Peterson -- whom she says told her he was married but had lost his wife. Peterson reportedly called Frey constantly after Laci vanished, even after Frey publicly announced their affair, according to sources. He phoned her about six times on Valentine's Day alone, begging to see her, the sources said.
