They're still doing the autopsy. Nobody is ready to say it's Laci Peterson yet, I'm hoping it's not but it looks so grim & would be an AMAZING coincidence if it's not her & her unborn baby. My friend said he heard the adult body had been beheaded but I haven't seen anything official on that. The body of the baby (full term, don't know why they keep referring to it as a "fetus") was found about a mile from the woman's body, umbilical cord still attached. They've suspected the husband all along but he's never been listed as an official suspect. This is really tearing me up y'all. IF Laci was murdered (& it seems like she was) HOW could anyone live w/ themselves after doing such an unthinkable thing? If it was the husband, how do you just take the lives of your WIFE & UNBORN CHILD in exchange for deceit & money (he'd recently taken out the good ol' insurance policy on Laci)?

I feel so fucking sad right now. Life is SO cheap to some people. The fact that someone's mother/daughter/sister/friend could be disposed of like waste, washing up onshore months later like a piece of garbage. She had a life, her life meant something. Her child could have had a life, it would have meant something. Why are people so arrogant? Why would anyone feel they had the right to take something so precious away from anyone in this world? Maybe this is overly dramatic in light of lives taken every single day, especially in a time of war, but this really has a grip on me tonight...

JUST ANNOUNCED... DNA testing proves it is Laci & her baby. They arrested the husband today...

Ah jeez... this story has been all over the Bay, I'm so sad that it met such a tragic ending...

for Laci and her baby

that the murderer will rot in Hell

How sickening and utterly heartbreaking to know that her life and that of her unborn child was taken without any respect for human life. Her child never being given the chance to grow and become an adult. May they R.I.P.

OY, I just heard on the news that Laci was carrying a boy. I didn't know the sex of the baby. The body of the found infant was male... I'm going to bed, trying to get this off my head...

Crimes of this horrific nature will continue to happen because there is NO FEAR...there is no fear because there is NO JUSTICE...there is no justice because killers (or commiters of such crimes) can GET OFF for a few dollars more than the average joe. When there is no death penalty (rehabilitation? right!), there is no fear. It's a vicious cycle.

Sad, but true.

God bless all the babies and Laci...my prayers are with the family.

I only hope it is her to put closure to the story. And make the bastard pay that did it :

what is wrong with some people???

Just plain evil, whoever did it...

I know Calhoun... I know... My friend works at the CoCo County morgue. We will know soon. Makes me sick too sweetie. I hope Scott doesn't try to skip town. And I hope they hold the trial here.

Life is so prescious.

I thought about this all night! The thought of another human beings life ending this way is just so cruel..

And I guess if this is Lacy, then she has her very own angel in heaven...

It just seems to me that there should be some shred of evidence to connect the person who did this to the crime... somewhere...

My thoughts exactly!

Regardless of whether this is Laci Peterson or not, I'm sickened by the nature of this crime. I'm disgusted that anyone could do this to another human being, much less to their wife and child (if it is Peterson, and if the husband did it).

And no, Calhoun, you are not being overly dramatic. Lives lost in war are sad, but at least with those there is some sort of reason for it. The senslessness of this type of crime is so terrible, and you just have to feel for all of the people who love her. I'm highly disturbed by all of this myself. Say a prayer for the family of whoever this victim is, and say a prayer that justice will be served.

oh man! I hate this whole story! When she first went missing I was like "it was the husband" I just felt he was not sad enough...ya know? but then there were some reports awhile back that someone had seen her in a store somewhere...she had supposedly told a store cashier that she had been kidnapped and the cashier forgot about it and didn't report it till weeks (days?) later. I don't know if that story was ever found to be true or false, but that got me thinking that it could have been some sicko woman or couple who desperately wanted a child and kidnapped her to steal her baby from her (didn't that happen b4?) now with this latest development...if they find it is her...I'm thinking that just might be what happened!
SICK SICK SICK!! mfers!
god bless Laci and child
god bless that lady and child if it is not them.
so sad

Yeah I have been following this story from the beginning and it didn't seem like it would turn out to positive beings she was pregnant and all. The strange thing I just read on CNN.COM is that the babys body was found 1 1/4 miles north of the females body...I wonder if she was kidnapped or if the husband had anything to do with it. He was fishing during her disappearance in the Marina two miles from the where this body was found.

All I wanna know is... who goes on a fishing trip on Christmas Eve, by yourself, with a close to bursting pregnant wife at home alone?



Gimme a break... it was the husband.

i just hope this will be the end of this story that has been really annoying for the last 4 months. sorry to the family, and sorry to the woman/infant. but it's really ridiculous that this was a major national story since Christmas.

NOW THAT THE "NO BODY, NO CRIME" SECTION OF THIS SITUATON
HAS PASSED, THEY CAN GO ARREST THAT PUNK HUSBAND OF HERS.
FRY THAT ASS

YES KIDDIES, IT'S ALL CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE, BUT DON'T FORGET WHUT IT'S LIKE IN THE HOOD

AaronSuperior said:

annoying? how so? and how is it ridiculous that this was a major national story since christmas? You don't think it warranted the coverage? I don't get what you mean

AaronSuperior said:

Aaron I'm disappointed in you! What if this were your family? Wouldn't you want it to be known and fresh in people's minds in case they were spotted?

Cut it out.

CarrieLee said:

not really. i see this as a local story. this shit happens every day all over the country. why is this one special?

i know why... because it got hyped by the same newspaper that whipped the country into a frenzy over Gary Condit 2 years ago.

all i'm saying is that i just don't see why it was a huge national story, leading newscasts, and interrupting the regular newsday on the cable networks with "important" breaking news updates that really weren't newsworthy at all.

AaronSuperior said:

Don't get it twisted...it's not everyday a woman who is eight months pregnant goes missing...

pejman said:

maybe not, but women and children go missing in this country every day, but they aren't splashed across the national media like this story was. a few are, curiously, and most aren't.

Let's all pray that it's not her but if it is atleast there will be closure for her family and friends, and for the residents of her hometown "and mine" Modesto.

AaronSuperior said:

so it sounds like you're saying that none of these kinds of stories should get ANY coverage? Cause they are not news worthy? strange...strange indeed!
Personally I think the ones that seem the most sinister get the most coverage. Like this one for instance...it's not just a woman, it's a pregnant woman, and she wasn't just pregnant she was nearly due, and she didn't just disappear she disappeared on Christmas eve...see what I mean?
I wish all missing persons cases got this much coverage, but at least some do.

This saddens me so...

pejman said:

Aaron makes a good point though, why is she chosen to get so much exposure? Is she wealthy? And more pregnant women come up missing alot more than you know.

Paisley said:

C'MON PAIS...
WHY SHOULD WE DO THAT.
SHOULD WE PRAY THAT IT'S SOMEONE ELSES SISTER, MOTHER, DAUGHTER WHO DOESN'T KNOW THAT THAT PERSON IS EVEN MISSING YET???
MAYBE SOME HOMELESS HOOKER WHO 'HAD IT COMMIN TO HER'
SOME BABY THAT WOULD OF BEEN POVERTY STRICKEN FOR LIFE.
ONE MORE THAT DON'T HAVE TO COLLECT WELFARE???

THINK IT THROUGH BEFORE YOU WRITE IT BABY!!!

I think more stories like this should get national coverage. As I see it, if a kidnapper takes someone across the country, there is no way people will be looking for them unless the story gets national coverage.
