Brent Rocha: Has anyone brought it up to your attention?


Scott Peterson: The article?

Brent Rocha: Yeah, well apparently…there's pictures of you and the girl…

Scott Peterson: Yeah.

Brent Rocha: So we know that's true, right?


Scott Peterson: Yeah, there was an encounter.

Brent Rocha: Okay. So I mean knowing that…I mean what can you tell me about my sister
to make me understand that you're telling the truth and that I can still support you?


Scott Peterson: Yeah, I mean, you know how happy we were together and that, you know,
never changed or wavers.


Brent Rocha: Right.

Scott Peterson: You know, I'm obviously devastated and I had nothing to do with her
disappearance and it's hard to…


Brent Rocha: And do you think that girl had something to do with it?

Scott Peterson: No, she didn't.

Brent Rocha: She didn't.

Scott Peterson: No, she couldn't have. She didn't know about Laci.

Brent Rocha: Okay. And then obviously there's no financial motive with the life insurance
because you're not gonna be able to collect on that, right?


Scott Peterson: I don't know, I hadn't thought about it.

Brent Rocha: Okay.

Scott Peterson: I guess not. Yeah, I don't care.

Brent Rocha: So then I'm just trying to understand. My point of view is your motive.
I mean, like were you happy to have this baby coming?


Scott Peterson: Oh, absolutely. Conner. Come on, you know that.

Brent Rocha: Okay.

Scott Peterson: I mean that would be wonderful.

Brent Rocha: Then, because I mean…it looks like they're out to nail you right now.

Scott Peterson: Oh, of course they are.

Brent Rocha: And…and we've been standing up for you.

Scott Peterson: I know it.

* Brent Rocha: Well, this is just the National Enquirer. It doesn't sound like any of the other
news media picked up on this. But it seems like there's a lot of detailed things in here. I don't
know where they got their information from, you know. Um…and some of this stuff like the life
insurance, I mean how's the Enquirer gonna find out about that?


Scott Peterson: Yeah. You know…and you asked…you know, and if you want to talk to our financial guy?

Brent Rocha: Oh, no,no. You know what, I'm just saying is how in the heck are they finding this stuff out.

Scott Peterson: I mean s***, this stuff can be found. I mean how many alien stories are in there?

Brent Rocha: I know, I know, it's probably half-truths.

* Scott Peterson: I'll do anything to get her back so…

Brent Rocha: I would love to have her back, Scott. You know, I miss her dearly.

Scott Peterson: Yeah, I want to get her back.

Brent Rocha: I don't care where she's at right now. I want her back one way or the other.

Scott Peterson: That's the way I am.

Brent Rocha: So you can tell me honestly, okay, I asked you earlier this morning…

Scott Peterson: Yeah.

Brent Rocha: You had nothing to do with this?

Scott Peterson: I had nothing to do with her disappearance, Brent.

Brent Rocha: Okay.

Scott Peterson: I wish I knew where she was.

* Brent Rocha: I mean what do you think happened to her? Because you know what, I have no idea.
First I thought  the burglary, then I was thinking…and then I went down to the park and, you know, I
just don't understand what…I  mean do you have any thoughts?


Scott Peterson: No, I mean the only thing…

Brent Rocha: I mean did you guys have any enemies at the business or anything. I know you guys
mentioned the pool guy.


Scott Peterson; Yeah, but, you know, I can't see him doing this. I mean a dispute over…

Brent Rocha: A grand?

Scott Peterson: $800 bucks or something, yeah, you know.

Brent Rocha: Yeah.

Scott Peterson: I don't know. The only two things I have, ideas, are still the robbery, you know.  
They're gonna bring that up, right?


Brent Rocha: Yeah.

Scott Peterson: Am um…you know, just someone that knew her routine and when she was coming
back from the park or just leaving the house.


Brent Rocha: Okay.

Scott Peterson: You know, just pulled over and grabbed her, you know, or down at the park. I guess
that's a possibility too.


Brent Rocha: Yeah. Okay. Well, let's keep in touch so we can keep on the same page and all that.

Scott Peterson: Okay.
