Tests: Stains in Peterson's Truck Not Blood

REDWOOD CITY, CA (AP) -- Tests showed that a series of suspicious stains in Scott Peterson's pickup truck were not blood, and there was no incriminating evidence in a tool box in the vehicle, a detective testified Monday at Peterson's murder trial. Police Detective Henry "Dodge" Hendee returned to the witness stand as defense attorney Mark Geragos resumed his attack on the investigation into the deaths of Peterson's wife, Laci, and unborn son. He pointed out for jurors that eight stains found in Peterson's truck -- blotches in places including the steering wheel and door that police suspected were blood -- all tested negative.
