See, Amber didn't watch TV, although she would have called us much earlier.

She was alerted to Scott by a friend of hers.

He was a Fresno cop.

And I think his name was Richard.

I can't remember his last name.

But he caught the coverage.

And he thought, gosh, that sounds kind of like that girl or that guy that Amber's dating.

And so he called Amber.

Well, she was, you know, I mean, you're, you're a, you're a young girl, you're blonde and you're dating Scott Peterson.

You're going to flash him around like a nickel plated 38.

And so she's telling all of her friends, you know, Hey, look what I've got.

And, you know, and I don't blame her, you know, I can see her doing that.

So this, you know, this friend of hers, he, you know, platonic, he was just a friend and he caught the, you know, the, the intense media coverage.

And so he called her, he says, you might want to check with those guys up there in Modesto and see if this is the same guy.

Because I can't remember for sure, Megan, if he had told her that he actually lived in Modesto or Sacramento.

I know he told somebody at one time that he lived in Sacramento.

But anyway, she hadn't seen any of this coverage.

And of course, as you remember, there was great frustration with people in the media because they couldn't get Scott on camera hardly at all.

He was always in the background at the weekend.

center where they were coordinating the search outside of law enforcement.
