Normally I try to ignore this “murder of the month” circus which seems to be the bread and butter of cable news when there isn’t a major war to cover.
However, I once knew a fellow named Scott Peterson. I suspect there are hundreds or even thousands of them running around the United States, but you never know…
I’ve been having trouble finding any solid biographical information on this guy, aside from his age, 30, which is quite close to the guy I knew but not exact. Can anyone tell me where he grew up? Specifically, did he ever live in Northern Virginia?
Thanks for your attention to this truly mundane and pointless question.
Those coincidences do make you wonder sometimes, though, don’t they? After Sept 11, I was reading one of the passenger lists from the planes that had left Logan Airport that day and out jumped a name that I recognized. It wasn’t a particularly common name, and given that I’m from the Boston area and so is this person, it was disconcerting to say the least. I was able to get a little more info and found out it wasn’t the same man, which was a relief to me, but I also thought of the many people who would see a name they knew and not find that same relief.
