LACI DIED ON SCOTT'S BOAT!

Published on: October 30, 2003

The 14-foot boat that Scott Peterson bought two weeks before his pregnant wife Laci vanished is the crucial piece of evidence that will send him to death row, insiders say.

Prosecutors intend to show that he bought the boat as part of a premeditated plot to murder Laci. And some investigators believe that while Laci was attacked in her own home, she may have actually died in the boat on the way to her watery grave.

The issue that goes on sale Friday reveals how Scott hid the boat from Laci, why cops don't buy Scott's alibi, why a single strand of hair looms large in the case ... and much more.
