Married To His Wife But Lied
A month before his wife’s disappearance, Scott Peterson began an extramarital affair with a massage therapist, Amber Frey.
In fact, it was Amber who informed the police about their relationship and also testified against her former lover.
According to her testimony, Scott didn’t inform her that he was still married and lied to her by saying he was a widower.
To prove that he was a causal manipulator, she recorded several phone calls between them at the police’s request, which later exposed him.
No New Wife Or Girlfriend
During his two-decade of prison time, Scott Peterson hasn’t married anyone.
Although he has a reputation for charming the female guards and receiving letters of support from females, Scott has not been in any new relationship.

He is still denying any involvement in the disappearance and mu*der of his pregnant wife, Laci Peterson.
According to him,
I regret not testifying [at my trial], but if I have a chance to show people what the truth is, and if they are willing to accept it, it would be the biggest thing that I can accomplish right now—because I didn’t k*ll my family.

Previously, he has mentioned that he also regrets cheating on his wife but has no part in her mu*der.
I certainly regret cheating on Laci, absolutely. It was about a childish lack of self-esteem, selfish me traveling somewhere, lonely that night because I wasn’t at home.
