| Witness: Scott tried unsuccessfully to auction Laci's watch September 8, 2004 Three weeks before his wife went missing, Scott Peterson tried to sell a diamond-encrusted watch she had recently inherited on eBay, but failed to find any takers for the gaudy heirloom, an employee of the online auction site testified Wednesday at his capital trial. Nils Myers, the supervisor of eBay's fraud investigations department, took the stand at the request of prosecutors, but his testimony appeared primarily to benefit the defense. The gold watch has never been found, and Peterson's lawyers claim his wife, Laci, may have been abducted for the flashy timepiece. Specifically, they have pointed to a pawn shop receipt indicating a woman sold a watch matching the description of the bejeweled Croton on Dec. 31, 2002, six days after the mother-to-be vanished. About a month before her disappearance, Laci Peterson inherited the watch and a stash of jewelry from her grandmother's estate. Her half-sister, Amy Rocha, previously testified that the expectant mother wore some of the items, but turned up her nose at the fancy watch, saying it was "not her style." The Petersons pawned some of the jewelry, including a gold chain. HOME INDEX LACI SCOTT CONNER TRIAL ALIBI-WITNESS LIST WIRETAPS PLIERS-DNA DOGS MAGAZINES EVIDENCE-NEWS |
