| HIS 'KEEP IT QUIET' BID TO SELL TRAGIC HOUSE By HOWARD BREUER Post Correspondent August 26, 2004 A month after Laci Peterson disappeared, her husband called a real-estate agent several times to see if he could discreetly sell their house. "Kinda keep it quiet, all right?" accused killer Scott Peterson asked Brian Argain on the afternoon of Jan. 22, 2003, four weeks after the Christmas Eve disappearance of his pregnant wife. "Oh, I will. I'm not gonna say a word to anybody. Don't worry about that," Argain said. At the time, investigators were still trying to find his wife, and relatives were hoping that she would be found alive — to return to her home, which she decorated based on the tips of Martha Stewart. But Peterson was apparently trying to unload the dwelling, and spoke to Argain again Jan. 27 and Jan. 29, according to wiretaps played at his murder trial yesterday. In the latter call, Argain warned Peterson he might need court approval to sell the house without a signature from Laci. "It's kind of tough to do," Argain said. "Yeah, I figured that," Peterson said, later adding: "What about renting it?" "That's pretty simple to do," Argain said. "Great," Peterson said. ********************************************* VIEW TRANSCRIPTS of telephone conversations with Brian Argain and Scott regarding selling the house.
