California ? Unidentified new owners of a home once owned by Scott and Laci Peterson aren’t talking about buying Modesto’s most notorious abode, and neither will their real estate agent.

“I respect the confidentiality of my clients,” Chris Shaw, a broker with PMZ Real Estate, said Tuesday.

Authorities speculated that Scott Peterson strangled his pregnant wife in the house on or just before Christmas Eve 2002 before slipping her weighted body into San Francisco Bay.

Remains of mother and son were recovered nearly four months later along the eastern shore. Peterson was convicted of double murder and arrived on death row in March 2005, where he awaits appeals.

The 1,770-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bath cottage-bungalow sold for $280,000, said listing agent Joseph Bondi, also of PMZ.
