Dinner, dancing, and karaoke followed, quickly blossoming into what she believed to be a serious relationship.
Frey believed her new boyfriend to be single.
Even so, she hasn’t totally disappeared from the spotlight.
“He was easy to talk to,” Frey testified in 2004, perSFGate.
“He made me feel comfortable.”
However, cracks soon began appearing in his story.
Soon after, on December 29, 2002, Frey made a life-shattering connection.
That April, the bodies of Peterson’s wife and unborn child were found and he was finally arrested.
The trial began in June 2003, but Frey wasn’t called to testify until August 2004.
The next day, Frey asked her new beau if he could pick up her daughter from daycare.
“He said he would be honored,” she recalled.
The father was her then-boyfriend, a Fresno chiropractor and her longtime friend, Dr. David Markovich.
Just four months later, she was on the witness stand, testifying against Peterson.
What was surprising, though, was just how quickly she published it.
She added, “This is a way for me to set the record straight.”

However, Flores toldDaily Newshe felt like a fool for trusting Frey.
“I want an apology.”
Interestingly, Flores wasn’t exactly an upstanding individual.
“It’s not really ever gone away in that sense, that recognition,” she reflected.
Indeed, asPeoplereported during the trial in 2004, Peterson’s guilty verdict was very much Frey’s doing.
The prosecution had spent three months trying to convince jurors of Peterson’s guilt and had completely failed.
It seemed that he would be set free, then Frey took to the stand.
“Now, it’s 5-5 and the bases are loaded.”
Ultimately, though,Peterson received a new and updated prison sentence.
First, he was resentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in 2021.
Fox Newsreached out to Frey a day after Massullo’s decision to get her reaction.
Even so, she reiterated the fact that she would have been willing to testify all over again.
