What part of this does NOT look like a failed fetus napping, where both mother and child died?
- A visibly pregnant Laci Peterson vanishes from her home. No signs of a crime can be found - anywhere - ever.
- Her shoes are found abandoned on the side of the street, 170 feet from her house.
- Seven days after she vanishes, her watch is pawned in Modesto.
- Another woman is found with Laci's Social Security card.
- Some time after that Laci's earrings are sold at an auction sale in Oakland.
- The California Highway Patrol receives a tip that a pregnant woman is being held captive and is being abused in Tracy (not far from Modesto). No investigation of this is done.
- Her body turns up four months later, dumped on the shore of San Francisco Bay, a place where many other bodies have been dumped and not far from Oakland.
- Her uterus has been cut open by someone unskilled in medical procedures.
- The fetus and the placenta are both missing.
- Some distance away, the body of her child is also found.
- He shows no signs of prematurity, he is full term and and he is not curled up in the fetal position. There are no signs he was ever in the sea.
- The fetal cord has been crudely cut.
- A piece of twine has been double knotted around his neck, not to harm him but to keep his body wrapped in plastic bags to protect it. One of the bags is found nearby.
- The mother is wearing underwear with a wear pattern which shows she has worn it for the whole period of her abduction (which was 111 days).
- Her clothes are still on her body, something which could not happen unless they were retied after the baby was removed. It also shows she was in the water for a day or two at most.
- Her uterus is two to three weeks post partum, showing that she lived at least that long after the baby was removed from her body.
- Although the body of the mother is simply discarded in the sea either from the Albany Bulb or more likely from Point Isabel (it has been suggested in the Hoffman channel), the body of the baby is carefully laid on the shore at Point Isabel so it can be found and buried. This is clearly the work of someone who cared for the baby.
