NE: LACI'S FINAL MINTUTES

HOW HER HUSBAND KILLED HER- ACCORDING TO THE COPS

BY DON GENTILE DAVID WRIGHT MICHAEL HANRAHAN and ALAN SMITH

1. Pregnant Laci Peterson was punched in the stomach and beaten to death by her cheating husband Scott.

2. Police now believe Scott killed Laci on Dec 23rd, not on Christmas Eve, the day she was reported missing. Cops say Scott then made a secret middle of the night trip from his home in Modesto to dump her body in the bay.

3. If Scott was to marry Amber, he told her he did not want to be a father, and he would have a vasectomy. Police say he wanted to be free of responsibilty.

4. Police think Scott planned to kill Laci and came up with the idea to make it look like she'd been abducted while he was fishing 90 miles away. Scott did not realize, however that Laci's disappearance would make headlines around the world and he'd be forced to feed lie after lie to her family, the media and police.

5. On DEC. 23, Laci and Scott went to a hairstyling shop, where her sister Amy worked. Amy clipped Scott's hair and talked to Laci, who did not reveal she had found out about Scott's affair. She was trying to work things out since Scott said he had ended the affair which was a lie. Laci and Scott returned home.

6. At 8:30pm Laci spoke with her mother Sharon. Laci told her they would be over at 6 for X-mas dinner, the next evening. Police believe she was killed in her home following that phone call after she got ready for bed that night.

7. During a search of the Peterson house in Feb. police took Laci's sister, Amy, to the house to help identify any missing items. "Amy told them a set of maternity night clothes Laci owned were missing".

8. Police believe Scott may have pushed Laci into an argument, or else Laci accused Scott of lying. Police know violence errupted in the kitchen, a mop with flecks of blood were found, which they think he used to clean up blood and vomit. She had been punched in the stomach hard enough to make her throw up.

9. The cops are trying to determine if Laci was bound and gagged, choked and tied to a red kitchen chair before she was killed. "There are rub marks on the chair in the kitchen that could have been made from a rope." Laci did suffer before she died.

10. After committing the murder, Scott but his wife into his pick-up truck under cover of darkness Dec. 23. Scott then drove to Modesto to his wharehouse. He stuffed 5 foot 1 Laci into one of the three 55 gallon drums he'd ordered, packed it with 3 cement anchors and covered the drum with it's lid.'

11. Cops found out from his computer he learned to make cement anchors. Scott made 5 cement anchors but could only account for 2 of them.

12. By 1:30 am or so on X-mas Eve, after an hour drive, Scott exited Interstate 80 at Gilman Street, headed for the marina. He passed the Radison Hotel on the marina grounds, drove slowly to a single lane road that took him through Cesar Chavez Park and ended at a parking lot by the rock strewn slope that leads to the water of San Francisco Bay. At high tide, Scott pushed the drum containing Laci's body down the rocky slope directly into the water..where it drifted out to sea with the tide before slowly sinking from the weight of the anchors. He then drove home.

13. Scott left his house again in the morning, he got his boat at the wharehouse where it was stored, and then went back to the Berkeley Marina. As he left the house that morning he was seen by a neighbor carrying a bundle wrapped in a blue tarp. Police believe he was removing evidence from the crime scene.

14. Scott wanted to be seen that morning on the way to go fishing to help create the illusion he was headed off to fish and was miles away from his home. But Scott really did not go fishing. Test results showed the boat had not been in salt water.

15. Police have not yet determined if Scott chopped off his wife's head and right arm and left leg so that she would fit into the drum or if the limbs and head became seperated through decomposition.

16. The infant had been expelled from Laci's body through a phenomenon know as "coffin birth". The police believe the build up of these gases also blew the lid off the drum causing both bodies to come to the surface. Police say sea crabs and other fish where chewing on Laci's remains, eventually freeing her from the anchors and allowed her to come to shore.
