Husband sells missing wife's SUV
SAN FRANCISCO, California (CNN) -- Scott Peterson recently sold his missing pregnant wife's Land Rover because he can no longer afford a rental after police impounded his truck, his sister told CNN Tuesday. Peterson bought another pickup truck as a replacement. Susan Caudillo said her brother's bills from the rental car were adding up. Police impounded his Ford F-150 and his 14-foot aluminum boat shortly after his wife, Laci, went missing on Christmas Eve in Modesto, California. "I'm sure he didn't want to sell Laci's car," Caudillo said. She said her brother needed a vehicle "to haul things around in." Peterson works on farms and sells fertilizer. Caudillo did not know the exact day Scott Peterson sold the Land Rover but he was seen with the vehicle as recently as last week. "Police are keeping his vehicle and not telling him when he can get it back. It could be a year or so," Caudillo said. Police have said that Scott Peterson has not been eliminated from the investigation into the disappearance of his wife Laci, 27. Modesto police have said that a woman who said she was having a romantic relationship was cooperating and is not a suspect. Peterson's wife is due to deliver a baby boy February 10. She was last reported seen by her husband the morning of December 24, when he left the house to go on a fishing trip about 85 miles away. She last talked to her mother on the evening of December 23. Peterson said his wife was going to walk their dog in a nearby park and shop for items for dinner but she wasn't in the house when he returned in the late afternoon. A neighbor had found the dog, with its leash still on and put it in the backyard. Police have said that Peterson presented them with a valid parking ticket for the Berkeley Marina, where he said he fished that day. A sonar search of the San Francisco Bay turned up no evidence. A $500,000 reward has been posted for Laci Peterson's return. Caudillo said the family plans to announce a "Nationwide Search Day for Laci" that they hope will take place this coming weekend. Laci Peterson's family, which initially stood by Scott Peterson, has urged him to cooperate and be more forthcoming with police, especially after it was revealed that he was having an affair.
