“I do worry that we may have been the original target,” Cowley told
the Herald. “But I don’t know, I just never, ever, ever knew the man.”
Peters has so far not revealed why he targeted the Pulvers and the Herald said
he intends to say more about his motivations during sentencing proceedings
later this month.
Father-of-three Peters was arrested and extradited from the United States in
September with the help of the FBI and admitted aggravated breaking and
entering and detaining Pulver for advantage.
Court documents showed he entered the luxury Pulver home through the unlocked
front door and cornered the 18-year-old in her bedroom as she was studying
for school exams.
He took a black box from a backpack and pushed it against her throat, securing
it around her neck with a bicycle lock.
A typed email address was affixed to the box, as well as a USB stick and a
plastic sleeve with documents inside.
A letter in the plastic sleeve said the case was booby-trapped and could only
be opened safely if they complied with his terms and conditions.
