| Terri (MALI40) Jun-17, 2003 Apparently they disclosed some of the search warrant results, here's the Modesto Bee link for you. Warrants don't reveal whose calls tracked in Peterson mystery Published: June 17, 2003 FULL STORY Authorities investigating Laci Peterson's death recently used a search warrant to obtain 46 pages of wireless phone records and a surveillance video, according to court documents made available Monday. Also Monday, the state Supreme Court rejected a media request to prevent prosecutors and defense attorneys from listening to wiretapped conversations between Scott Peterson and journalists. The search warrant documents disclosed Monday do not specify whose phone records were involved, but they say the search warrant pertained to the "Scott Peterson investigation." Authorities served the warrant on five telecommunications companies --AT&T Wireless, Nextel, Cingular, Sprint and SBC, between May 29 & June 5, according to documents signed by Steven Jacobson, an investigator with Stanislaus County district attorney's office. Authorities received between two and 15 pages of subscriber information from each of the companies, the documents show. But AT&T Wireless was the only company thatprovided "toll information." That information was for a cellular phone with a San Francisco area code. Ritch Blasi, a company spokesman, said toll information is typically data about calls. The documents also indicate that a FedEx envelope contained a smaller envelope marked "Surveillance video F239466," which held a CD or DVD.An AT&T Wireless envelope also marked "File 239466" was enclosed in the same FedEX envelope. FedEx tracking information showed the larger envelope was shipped from Riviera Beach, Fla. AT&T Wireless has a multi-service facility there that houses sales, marketing and other units, Blasi said. He referred questions about the search warrant to prosecutors, but said AT&T Wireless does not process surveillance videos. The video could be from a store camera, San Francisco Assistant District Attorney James Hammer said. "If the police set up their own surveillance, they wouldn't need a search warrant," Hammers said. "My hunch is it is something kept in the normal course of business. The police became aware of it and wanted a copy." Jacobson wrote that all materials in question came from telecommunication companies.That suggests that the surveillance recording did not come from, for example, aconvenience store or a seaside marina. McGeorge School of Law professor David W. Miller said investigators may have information that could be relevant to the slayings if key calls were made by Peterson on a cell phone. Hammer noted that "casting a wide net" is part of an investigation, and "not every net catches something." HOME INDEX LACI SCOTT CONNER TRIAL ALIBI-WITNESS LIST EVIDENCE-NEWS |
