| Friends said the couple moved to Modesto two years ago to start a family "In the short time I've known him, he's probably one of the nicest guys I've ever met," said Guy Miligi, a family friend. "He's always a gentleman with women. We'll be at dinner with them, and when my wife and Laci get up to go to the restroom, he'll always stand up. And he'll stand up again when she returns. You don't see that anymore." Scott Peterson is a salesman for Tradecorp, a Spanish company that manufactures and distributes a line of special fertilizers. He joined the Modesto Rotary Club about one year ago. "He's the type of person that if you had broken down on the freeway, he'd be the guy who would stop and help you," said Kenni Friedman, president of the Downtown Rotary Club. "He's just a very compassionate, giving person." They rented a home for a while before buying a fixer- upper on Covena Avenue in the La Loma neighborhood. As the holiday season progressed, the Petersons held several parties at their home. Guests walking in noticed that the house no longer resembled the place that the Petersons had purchased. "Scott remodeled the entire house, doing woodwork, tile, plumbing, a little bit of everything," said Miligi. "I know he put a lot of hours into making that baby room just right. He was real excited about having his first child. He talked about that all the time." ************** A barrage of shocking secret phone recordings rocked the Scott Peterson trial. But the biggest event of the day was the playing of Peterson's tape. That included a call he made to his buddy, Guy Miligi, in which he griped about the way 88 cops were searching the bay. "So maybe they'll send 88 people somewhere else and start working," said Peterson, who also told Miligi that he was in Bakersfield when he was really 218 miles away, near the bay. During the conversation with Miligi, Peterson casually said that he had "finally got the guts to open up Christmas presents last night . . . Laci got me a big ol' table saw." "I lost it for a couple hours. It was the weird," he said. At other times, however, he seemed very detached from the search for his wife. 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."
