| Ex-cop testifies PCs show Peterson studied Bay currents August 4, 2004 Scott Peterson researched currents in San Francisco Bay several weeks before authorities allege he dumped his dead wife's body there, a former police officer testified Tuesday. One website visited was usafishing.com where he checked the San Francisco Bay. Former Modesto police officer Kirk Stockham, a Computer Forensic Investigator, said he examined five computers seized from Scott Peterson's home and office in the days after Laci Peterson was reported missing Dec. 24, 2002, and continued viewing computers until his retirement on May 1, 2003 Stockham said he found a graphics file from Dec. 8, 2002, showing water currents in the Bay. Stockham is certified by the State of California as a computer crimes examiner and has worked in computer forensics since 1994. His testimony is that of an expert witness. During his cross-examination of Stockham, defense lawyer Mark Geragos noted that a printout of the Web site Peterson visited regarding bay currents had different times and dates on it, one showing it was checked by Peterson on Dec. 5, a day before Shawn Sibley confronted him. But on Wednesday, Lydell Wall testified that the date simply had not been updated by the Web site's manager. Prosecutors allege Scott Peterson killed his wife in their Modesto home on or around that Christmas Eve, then drove to the Bay and dumped her weighted body from his small boat.
