The Petersons' backyard included a patio, a hot tub and a shed. When police searched the shed on Dec. 27, they found a tan tarp under a leaf blower

The tan tarp found in the shed was drenched with gasoline from a leaky gas blower. Crime scene technicians hung it on a fence to dry out. In his opening statement, prosecutor Rick Distaso noted that gasoline kills biological material, such as DNA and blood.

Police carrying out a search warrant on Dec. 27 found the brown tarp in a shed in the Petersons' backyard. When they
searched his truck on Christmas Eve, the tarp was in the back of his pickup.

Scott Peterson stored this 14-foot aluminum boat in his fertilizer warehouse. Whether his wife knew about the boat, which was purchased on Dec. 9, is a key issue in the trial. Prosecutors have theorized that Peterson used the boat to dispose of his wife's body.

This BIG 5 Receipt, dated 12/20/02, shows Scott bought a 2 day fishing license, 4 days before Laci disappeared.....even though Scott said he made the decision to fish ON CHRISTMAS EVE MORNING

Detective Dodge Hendee holds a pair of pliers he found under a seat in Peterson's boat in this photo taken during the Dec. 27 search of Peterson's warehouse. A 5- to 6-inch dark hair
is barely visible looping through the teeth of the pliers and then down to the ruler on the bottom right of the yellow placard.

Hendee testified that he saw the outlines of five circular objects in dust on a flatbed trailer in Peterson's warehouse. Prosecutors noted that the outlines were identical in size to a plastic pitcher apparently used to make cement anchors. Only one anchor was found after Laci Peterson disappeared.
