Witness: For the Prosecution of Scott Peterson

1 corinthians 10:13 niv "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it." Amber Freys life was full of blessings: an exciting new business a beautiful home and most of all her infant daughter Ayiana. But Amber had been through some unhappy relationships and she longed for a true and loving partner. In November 2002 she went on a blind date with Scott Peterson. He was handsome charming thoughtful and romantic. Best of all he was single and ready to settle down . . . or so he said. Their connection was immediate. Over the next few weeks Amber and Scott grew closer and closer. Scott won her over with his warmth humor and intelligence and he even won the heart of little Ayiana. Before long he began to speak of the beautiful future the three of them were destined to share as a family. Soon enough however Amber began to suspect that Scott Peterson might not be the man he claimed to be. On December 9 he broke down in tears and told her that he had been married but had "lost" his wife. This was weeks before Laci Peterson eight months pregnant at the time was even reported missing. Scott Peterson hadnt lost her but clearly he was planning to. Suddenly a relationship that seemed full of promise was turning into Ambers worst nightmare. Amber launched an investigation of her own. The moment she was able to confirm her worst suspicions she contacted the Modesto Police Department in northern California and offered to do whatever she could to help. She began secretly taping her conversations with Scott pressing him for information but never letting on that she had heard the news of Lacis disappearance. Those conversations became the basis for the prosecutions case against Scott Peterson for the murder of his wife and unborn child. Ambers whole world was turned upside down in the process. She lost her privacy as every detail of her life was scrutinized by the media who couldnt seem to get enough of this tragic heart-wrenching story. But she soldiered on looking deep inside herself and drawing strength from her faith. Witness is the chilling story of how a young woman became ensnared in Scott Petersons web of lies then risked everything to seek justice for Laci Peterson and her unborn child Conner. It is also a story of forgiveness and faith and of one womans struggle to live with an open and honest heart.
