Scott Peterson COULD be innocent!
RICHMOND, Calif. — Law enforcement agencies continued searching the San Francisco Bay Sunday because prosecutors are "desperate" to find more evidence in support of their theory that Scott Peterson (search) killed his wife Laci, a source close to the investigation has told Fox News.
Meanwhile, Fox News has learned more details about exactly who the defense team representing husband Scott Peterson believes may have committed the murder of his wife -- and it's someone other than their client. They say a satanic cult may be involved.
Although the autopsy has been completed on Laci Peterson (search), authorities have been unable to pinpoint a cause of death and it is now listed in the documents as "undetermined," according to a source.
The head and some other parts of Laci's body still have not been recovered.
The prosecution has ordered renewed searches in San Francisco Bay because, the source said, they are hoping to find body parts or the anchors allegedly used to weigh down the body.
"They realize that every avenue they've pursued up until now has come up a dry hole," the source told Fox News.
"Remember that mop that supposedly had Laci's blood and vomit on it?" said the source. "Well, that turned up negative. And the blood in Scott's truck? That turned out to be Scott's blood, not Laci's. And remember Scott had told the police he had cut his knuckle."
More news on the case came on Sunday.
Sources close to Scott Peterson's defense team told Fox News that his legal team is trying to locate a number of people in a brown van that neighbors of the Petersons told police about.
Soon after Laci's disappearance, neighbors said they saw a suspicious van combing the area on the morning of Dec. 24. About two weeks after her disappearance, police were able to locate some people in that brown van, and the officers determined they were landscapers. Law enforcement officials stand by that conclusion.
But, Scott Peterson's defense team believes these people in the van may be tied to a satanic cult.
Sources told Fox News that the men and women in the van had no home address listed in the police reports and that they had no landscaping equipment in the van. Fox News has learned that a mystery woman was either in the van or claims she saw Laci being abducted by someone in that van.
Modesto had an active satanic group in the 1990s, but prosecution sources call the satanic theory being put out by the defense "laughable and absurd."
Police divers first returned to waters near Richmond on Friday for what they described as a follow-up investigation that would last through the weekend. It has been their first major presence in the area since the body of the 27-year-old pregnant Modesto (search) woman and her unborn son washed onto a Richmond shoreline last month.
The U.S. Coast Guard was providing security for what a spokesman described only as an ongoing criminal investigation led by Modesto police.
In a recorded message, Modesto Lt. Doug Ridenour said the search had enlisted help from other police agencies, as well as the private sector. He said that the department had no plans to release any further information.
The badly decomposed remains body of Peterson and Conner, her son who was about six weeks from his due date, were discovered several days and about a mile apart by passers-by in mid April. Fox News learned that not all of Laci Peterson's remains were found, and that they may have been wrapped in plastic and held down by heavy material.
"She was carved up. The head is not the only thing that was missing," a source from Scott Peterson's defense team told Fox News.
The bodies surfaced several miles north of where Peterson's husband, Scott, said he went sturgeon fishing on Christmas Eve day - the last day Laci was seen alive.
Modesto Police arrested Scott last month and prosecutors have charged him with double murder. He has pleaded innocent but remains in Stanislaus County Jail without bail, facing a death penalty prosecution.

Re: Scott Peterson COULD be innocent!
You can identify a person more accurately with a ciggarete they took a puff of these days. If the DNA matches, the accused is pretty much fried. Except in this case he's the husband, so there's a million and one reasons why he could have traces of her DNA, or vice-versa. They haven't found any from anyone else on her though.
If someone framed him, they did a hell of a lot of work to pull it off. I just don't think people are in the mood to be hammered over the head with a circus/trial right now. Though I have to admit, I watch a lot more Court TV than I ever thought I would!

Re: Scott Peterson COULD be innocent!
With all the media coverage making him out to be a fugitive before he was even charged and the fact that people knew he was fishing long before the body was found made it easy to dump the body in a nearby place. I dont know many murderers that would say they were fishing so close to where they dumped a body.
