(AP)  Amber Frey, the former mistress of convicted murderer Scott Peterson, is opening a day spa in a tony Fresno suburb.

Frey said she planned to launch Escape Day Spa with a Caribbean-themed, adults-only party Thursday evening in a Clovis shopping center.

A trained massage therapist, Frey said she was happy to give back to her community by creating jobs through opening the spa, which is decorated to create a "Tuscan feel."

"It's something I've wanted to do since I went to massage school," Frey said. "It's exciting setting goals and moving forward with them."

Frey dated Peterson in 2002. She later testified for the prosecution in Peterson's trial on charges he killed his pregnant wife, Laci, and the fetus she was carrying on Christmas Eve that year.

Their affair eroded when Frey found out his wife had disappeared and was the subject of a massive search.

Peterson was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death in 2004. He remains on death row at San Quentin State Prison while lawyers mount an appeal.

Now 32, Frey lives in Clovis with her husband, Robert Hernandez, and two children.

RandalDS
is one of the crazy pro-illegal immigration trolls who live under the CBS Public Comment Zones. He is an ignorant freeloader, starving for attention from anyone who happens upon him.

He lives off of his wife and has nothing to do all day long but post nonsense and read his own idiotic posts over and over, rolling on the floor, laughing is @ss off.

Pathetic. AND he is the baby of an anchor baby.

Excuse me for trip-trapping across your bridge, Master Troll. Please give us your wisdom, oh all-knowing one. No facts, please; they make my head hurt.

Human nature at its worst, CBS News and comment lines. (my comments are ok, though) ;)

Seriously, give her a even chance to have a life for her kids. Leave her alone.

MissSuZQ, get over it!! I could think of a whole lot worse words that she could of been called. You actually believe she didn't know he was married?? Did she have his number? No, she only had the cell number... you know, so he could call her up and lie and say he was in Paris when he wasn't!! And get real, what female *knows* she's a homewrecker? If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then guess what, it's a *** duck!

It's a human interest story involving a minor celebrity.

Inquiring minds want to know.

"It's something I've wanted to do since I went to massage school," Frey said.

Ah, there's the rub.

When she is referred to as the mistress, it bothers me, as she did not know.

I believe it to be an almost nasty term and should be used when the mistress knows she is a homewrecker.
