Rudy and Susan Medina, who lived across the street from Scott and Laci Peterson, left their home on December 24, 2002, at 10:32 a.m. for a short holiday trip to Los Angeles.  When they returned on December 26, about 4:30 p.m., they discovered their home had been burglarized. December 24 is the day Laci disappeared.
Background

On January 2, 2003, Steven Wayne Todd and Donald Glenn Pearce were arrested at 1406 Tenaya Drive in Modesto, California.

Through an informant named Mark, the Modesto Police Department learned that some of the items taken from the home of Rudy and Susan Medina, 516 Covena Avenue, were in the possession of Steven Wayne Todd.  When the Modesto Police arrived at Tenaya Street address, they recovered some of the jewelry and the large safe ( 2 ½ ‘x 2 ½’ x 3’) which had been taken from the Medina property.

Steven Todd, interviewed by Officer Michael Hicks on January 2, said he had nothing to do with the woman and the baby.  He then told the officer the burglary at Medina’s had taken place on December 27.  When this proved to be untrue (Medinas were home by that time), he said that the burglary had taken place on December 26 between 3:00 and 7 a.m. The Modesto Police took his word for this and did not investigate further.
 
Sergeant Ron Cloward, MPD, put out word that anyone who had the remaining possessions from the Medina burglary could return them to MPD and no questions would be asked.  On one occasion, a woman ran into the police headquarters and threw jewelry on the counter and then ran out.  This incident was not recorded on the security camera at the headquarters.
 
When Steven Todd pled guilty during his court appearance in February 2003, he was given a sentence of 8 years and 8 months even though he was a 3 strike offender.  Donald Glenn Pearce received a sentence of 180 days.
 
In the summer of 2003, Mark Geragos asked Detective Craig Grogan to turn over the Medina safe, still in police custody, so it could be tested.  Grogan later told him that sometime after Geragos made the request, the safe was destroyed.
Evidence the burglary is linked to Laci's disappearance

There is credible information to suggest that this burglary occurred on December 24, 2002, shortly after the Medinas left home at 10:32 a.m. and may have been directly connected to Laci's disappearance.

Media and police presence in the Covena neighborhood was extreme after the word of Laci’s disappearance became known on the evening of December 24, making a December 26 burglary highly impractical.

There were numerous sightings of Laci Peterson walking her dog in the Covena neighborhood on the morning of December 24 that were not thoroughly investigated by the MPD, which chose instead to rely on the unverified timeline constructed by Karen Servas who lived at 517 Covena Avenue and who found the Peterson’s dog McKenzie in the street in front of the Medina’s house on the morning of December 24.  Her estimate of the time she found the dog was used to exclude a connection between Laci’s disappearance and the Medina burglary.

Diane Jackson, who lived a short distance away, reported seeing 3 men with a van and a safe in front of the Medina’s house at 11:40 a.m. on December 24, 2002.  Her information was considered credible enough to be used in the flyer asking for the information about the burglary and offering a $1,000 reward.  However, the Modesto Police arranged for her to by hypnotized by an unqualified hypnotist, and for that reason her testimony was not allowed at trial.   Some of the information she provided, however, came in through the testimony of Detective Craig Grogan.
