(Court TV) — As details emerged about Scott Peterson's numerous deceptions and his affair with a massage therapist, Laci Peterson's mother and brother confronted the fertilizer salesman about their suspicions that he killed the pregnant woman. According to transcripts obtained exclusively by Court TV's Catherine Crier, Brent Rocha told Peterson he wouldn't get away with murdering his sister during a Jan. 17, 2003, phone call secretly recorded by police. In another call, which police taped on Feb. 8, Peterson checks his voice mail and discovers a message from Sharon Rocha begging him to tell police where her daughter is. Both transcripts reveal desperate attempts by Peterson's in-laws to get him to cooperate with police.

ROCHA: Yeah PETERSON: I mean none of it's true. I -- I -- you know, I mean -- ROCHA: Scott -- PETERSON: I'll give you the documents to show ya -- ROCHA: No, no, no. I don't need doc -- if you told me you did somethin' -- it's my word against yours. So you know what? I think you would tell me something if something happened. But -- I don't' really give a shit what happened now -- it's too late. Whatever's done is done. If you did somethin' -- or someone else did somethin' -- it's done. You can't take it back even if we wanted to take it back. PETERSON: Right. ROCHA: Um -- you know I just want my sister back. PETERSON: I do too. I want Laci and my baby back. ROCHA: Yeah. But -- you know a lot of things are -- the way it's being portrayed is -- it's you, man. PETERSON: I know it. ROCHA: It's you. And -- and the evidence is really stackin' up against ya -- I talked to Susan last night -- did you get a chance to talk to her? PETERSON: No. ROCHA: Okay. Well we just talked a little bit an -- about what was out in the papers and um -- you know -- I'm sure your family is supportin' ya but I think they're startin' to have doubts too- they were surprised to hear about the affair -- so I don't know. I mean Scott- I mean if -- if you did it you know you're not gonna get away with it. You know that, right? PETERSON: Of course not, no. ROCHA: So I mean, are we gonna just play this game out? Or what? What's -- what's the plan here? PETERSON: Brent I didn't do anything. ROCHA: Okay. PETERSON: It's that simple -- we need to find her. ROCHA: Ah yeah I ah -- PETERSON: I mean I can understand your suspicion -- but -- you know I understand your suspicion of me but hey -- we gotta keep the Center open -- we gotta find her. God ain't important to me right now. ROCHA: Okay. I mean -- you know what shocks me Scott? Is you sending my sister to a Christmas party by herself while you're out with the other girl at a Christmas party down there. You know that disturbs me. And -- and that -- that -- I lose trust in you. It doesn't show me you're bein' honest. I mean, you had to know that was gonna come out. But you still didn't admit to it. So that means like -- it shows me that you're tryin' to get away with this.(Pause) See what I'm sayin'? PETERSON: Yeah, yeah I understand. Hey just -- (Tape ends)
