Heidi FRITZ: Hey, Scott, it’s Heidi.
Scott PETERSON: Hey, Heidi.
Heidi FRITZ: How are you?
Scott PETERSON: I’m okay today. How are you doing?
Heidi FRITZ: Um…pretty good. We heard…we’ve been trying to watch the news, but we heard that there was some woman in Oregon that thought she saw Laci?
Scott PETERSON: Yeah, I’ve been getting the details on it. It’s kind of...well, it happened last week, but she just reported it.
Heidi FRITZ: Oh, my God!
Scott PETERSON: And she thinks it was her and so the police are looking at the videotapes from the…from the store.
Heidi FRITZ: Oh, my God, that’s great! What part of Oregon was it?
Scott PETERSON: Um…Longview.
Heidi FRITZ: What…do you know where that is?
Scott PETERSON: No, I don’t.
Heidi FRITZ: I don’t either.
Scott PETERSON: But uh, hopefully…
Heidi FRITZ: You don’t have your computer at home. They still have your computer right?
Scott PETERSON: Yeah.
Heidi FRITZ: Well, we don’t have a phone line yet or else I’d look online.
Scott PETERSON: Oh

Heidi FRITZ: Um…but they didn’t give you…well, do you have a map at the house?
Scott PETERSON: No, I don’t.
Heidi FRITZ: Okay. Well Aaron might have an Atlas or something. I’m just curious about where it is because one of my best friends lives in Portland.
Scott PETERSON: Oh, yeah.
Heidi FRITZ: And I was just curious if it was anywhere near Portland because my girlfriend…she works like a couple days a week, but most of the time she’s just at home.
Scott PETERSON: Uh-hum.
Heidi FRITZ: And so if you thought they weren’t following up, I’m sure that Jen would be willing to go and talk to the person.
Scott PETERSON: Oh, yeah. Well, I called the Longview Police.
Heidi FRITZ: Uh-huh.
Scott PETERSON: And I talked tot his guy and he’s uh…he said they were getting the tapes together to look at.
Heidi FRITZ: Uh-huh.
Scott PETERSON: So, I’ll have to keep checking with him. I sure hope it’s something.
Heidi FRITZ: Okay. All right. Well um…I…I just wanted to call and see because we’ve…we’ve been trying to find out about it and we didn’t find out about it until after I had left work. And we didn’t have a computer at home and we were just watching the news trying to like, you know, we just got home and we were just trying to see if anyone was covering it. But have…have you reported it to any of the news stations?
Scott PETERSON: Well, that’s who called me with it first because it went over the AP wires.
Heidi FRITZ: Oh, my God!
Scott PETERSON: And so, reporters just started calling me like crazy on this.

Heidi FRITZ: Well, why aren’t they mentioning it on the news?
Scott PETERSON: They started calling me about 4:00 o’clock or so…I don’t know.
Heidi FRITZ: That’s so stupid. I mean all they were talking about was like that they kept doing clips of like you talking to a reporter about how you cut your hand. I’m like…
Scott PETERSON: Really?
Heidi FRITZ: It’s so stupid. I mean who cares if you cut your hand?
Scott PETERSON: Yeah.
Heidi FRITZ: You know, it’s just like…I mean it’s so irrelevant I mean, you know, it just…

Heidi FRITZ: Okay. Well, can you drive… can you drive up there as soon as you have something?
Scott PETERSON: Oh, definitely, yeah. If he, you know, looks at it and it’s even close I’m gonna get up there.
Heidi FRITZ: Okay. When is gonna call you back?

Heidi FRITZ: Well, I hope…you should call the…Modesto…I mean the Modesto Police to make sure they don’t withhold any information from you.
Scott PETERSON: True. Ha…Ha…
Heidi FRITZ: You know, I mean because they might…I don’t know.

Scott PETERSON: We’re hoping, definitely.
Heidi FRITZ: Yeah. It’s so weird because just after you said that the other night on, cause we saw your interview where you said, you know, you knew in your heart that she was still alive, I was like oh, my God!
