Peterson witness may lose home

Amber Frey, the former girlfriend of convicted wife-killer Scott Peterson, may lose her Clovis home after falling behind on mortgage payments.

Fresno County records show Frey, who testified against Peterson as the prosecution’s star witness during his double murder trial, was more than $16,000 behind in payments on her $539,000 house by May. Frey took out a $431,000 loan three years ago to buy the home.

Frey’s affair with Peterson fell apart when she found out his pregnant wife, Laci, had disappeared and was the subject of a massive search.

She wrote a book about her part in the trial and opened a day spa and massage salon last year. Peterson remains on death row.
