 HE WAS A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR. |
| |
 |
Presented himself as a Sacramento bachelor who had never been in a serious relationship. |
| |
|
Invented phony European business trips, complete with detailed descriptions of landmarks, hotels and flights,
to explain long absences. |
| |
|
|
 |
“I’m uh ... near the Eiffel Tower and the New Year’s celebration is unreal.” |
|
| HE PROMISED FREY AND HER DAUGHTER A FUTURE. |
| |
|
|
|
“I desire so much to be, you know, for the rest of our lives, your best friend,
your biggest comfort …” |
|
| HE REMAINED OBSESSIVELY DEVOTED TO HER LONG AFTER HIS WIFE WENT MISSING. |
| |
|
Talked to her for hours while volunteers searched for his wife and even before a candlelight
vigil. |
| |
|
|
|
“You have a missing pregnant wife and you're talking to your girlfriend? Hum! Hum! Did you think about that one?” |
| |
|
Tried to give her money for rent and her cellphone bill. |
| |
|
|
|
“I don’t know how it is financially for you and do you need help with, you know, paying for the office or rent or anything like that?” |
| |
|
Begged her to meet him for a secret rendezvous at a lakeside cabin. |
| |
|
|
|
“We could go there alone. It’s easy to get away. We just need to see each other, Amber, for a couple of hours.” |
| |
|
Bought her and her daughter birthday gifts and offered to send her to a resort. |
| |
|
|
|
“If there's some resort you want to go to ... Ill just, you know, get you the funds ...” |
|
| HE SAID HE DID NOT WANT ANY CHILDREN OF HIS OWN. |
| |
|
Talked about getting a vasectomy. |
| |
|
|
|
Frey: “Do you still feel that you’re very adamant about not having another child?”
Peterson: “Oh, I wouldn’t say adamant, but it’s not in my thoughts currently.” |
|
| HE HINTED AT PROBLEMS IN HIS MARRIAGE. |
| |
|
Suggested Laci’s baby might not be his. |
| |
|
Refused to say whether his was a loveless marriage or whether they had shared a bed the night before
Laci disappeared. |
| |
|
Said he had secrets he could only tell her in person. |
|
|
|
 |
|
 HE REPEATEDLY SAID HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS WIFE’S DISAPPEARANCE. |
|
| HE SAID HE LOVED HIS WIFE. |
| |
|
|
 |
“I love Laci. I loved Laci. No doubt.” |
|
| HE SAID HIS FIRST PRIORITY WAS FINDING HIS WIFE. |
| |
|
|
|
“I care very much about finding Laci.” |
|
| HE NEVER SAID HE LOVED FREY. |
| |
|
|
|
“I guess the one that bothered me most was when they asked if you are in love with me and you
said no.” |
|
| HE NEVER DISCOURAGED HER FROM GOING TO THE POLICE. |
