Hatred between her folks and the Petersons rages after raid to rescue precious
mementos! Scott sent wedding ring to jeweler to be fashioned into a new ring. 
The Rochas recovered that ring from the jeweler and the Petersons want it back.


synopsis
Tearful Sharon Rocha just wanted to
go in the house and feel Laci's presence. 
She then made a fateful decision to
take Laci's things after breaking into the house.

In the process, a feud with Scott's family became a burning hatred.
"It's war- and its going to get worse," said a Rocha family friend.
The two families are getting to hate each other.


At the center of the feud is Laci's jewelry.

Scott Peterson and his family want Laci's wedding ring back. And they also
want a stash of jewels-including diamonds- that they claim Laci's mom
took after her death.  It was recently revealed that Scott
sold some of
Laci's jewelry before her body
washed ashore April 14th.  Scott had
sold watches, earrings, and other items treasured by his wife.


Scott Peterson's mother Jackie, has retaliated, saying that Rochas snatched jewelry
that should go to them. She says Rocha's claimed from a jewelry store Laci's
wedding ring, a diamond ring Scott bought for his wife and a few diamonds given
to Laci by her grandmother that Scott had brought in to have a new ring made.


"We want those", says Jackie.

The feud was made worse when the Rocha's broke into the house to take some of Laci's
things.  Sharon was afraid the Petersons would sell some of Laci's things on ebay.


"This was a burglary," Scotts father blasted.
"I saw at least 3 pick-up trucks full of things".


A close friend of Rocha's said this battle between the two families goes back
along ways.  Dennis Rocha never trusted Scott from the day he laid eyes on him.: 
He hated the way Scott treated Laci like a servant.  Dennis always thought Scott
was arrogant, and he suspected for along time that Scott was
cheating on Laci."

Petersons claim they wanted the items taken by the Rochas.
This fight is not going away any time soon.
