SCOTT Peterson’s former mistress has shared a glimpse into her new life more than two decades after she helped jail her ex for murdering his pregnant wife.
Amber Frey was having an affair with Peterson in the months leading up to December 22, 2002, when Laci Peterson disappeared from the couple's Modesto, California, home.
Laci, 27, was eight months pregnant with their first child at the time.
Four months later, her body washed up on the shore of a nearby beach. Her unborn son, who the couple was going to name Conner, was found a mile away.
Scott, who was 30 at the time, was arrested days later.
When Laci first disappeared, her husband had told police that he'd returned from a Christmas fishing trip in the San Francisco Bay to find an empty house.

INSIDE THE AFFAIR
In Netflix's new docuseries, Frey revealed what she saw in Scott when they first started seeing each other in November of 2002.
"I thought he was handsome, he had a really nice smile, he had a good head on his shoulders," she said in a clip from the series.
"He was interested in my life and my daughter, and he was sweet with her.
"We laughed a lot, we had some good conversations."

“So what do you want to be together with me?” Frey is heard asking Peterson in one of the recordings in the doc.
“For the rest of our lives I think we could care for each other,” Peterson replied.

Rocha claimed that her son-in-law never wanted to become a father - and that she didn't trust him when she first met him.
