Laci Peterson's family presented a list of 22 items they wanted to recover as mementos of their daughter, including her journals, wedding dress and other clothing, and family gifts. "More importantly to Laci's family is the opportunity to be inside Laci's home . . . the home she decorated and loved . . . and just to have the opportunity to feel her presence," said a statement released Wednesday by attorneys Adam Stewart and Albert Clark. Stewart said in a phone interview that his firm had been unsuccessful in brokering an agreement between the two families. "It's more of a humanity or moral issue," he said. "We're at a real impasse." Scott Peterson's mother, Jackie Peterson, said in a phone interview that she had changed the lock and alarm at the home to keep people from breaking in, and that the house had sat empty for four months without Laci's family wanting to visit. "People have been coming into the yard and taking things," Jackie Peterson said, including two glass hurricane lamps given to the couple as wedding presents, which disappeared from the patio. "People were stealing bricks as souvenirs," she said. "They're probably on EBay." What hasn't been stolen has been taken as evidence by the police, who collected 95 trash bags full of items earlier in the case, Jackie Peterson said. "The house is stripped," she said. "There's not even linen to stay there." RELATED STORIES HOME LACI CONNER SCOTT AMBER INDEX WITNESS LIST EVIDENCE-NEWS |
