Pretty 28-year-old Amber Frey simultaneously became an American femme fatale and a victim in 2002 after she had fallen for the smooth-talking charm of a married man named Scott Patterson. He had told her that he was single and that he had never been married. Later, he admitted that he had been married but had "lost his wife."
When informed by police that Patterson was actually married at the time and that his pregnant wife, Laci, was missing, Frey cooperated with authorities in taping her subsequent phone calls with him.
A mutilated female corpse and a fetus washed ashore at San Francisco Bay and were identified as Laci and her unborn child. Patterson was convicted of murder, although he has never admitted guilt. Frey did not court the limelight off temporary celebrity but tried to live as privately as possible Later, nude photos of her taken at a modeling agency years earlier surfaced on a website, giving her desire for privacy a temporary setback.
Frey later formed a relationship with a California chiropractor and lives a quiet, private life, while Paterson remains on death row. Frey is a good example of the temporary celebrity who would much rather not have become one.
