Sources tell Fox News that the 27-year-old woman could have been beaten, hit over the head, strangled or even poisoned.
They believe she was killed in her house on Dec. 23, the night before her husband, Scott Peterson (search), reported her missing. The autopsy results, which could determine the exact cause of death, are expected in about two weeks.
Several pieces of evidence point to possible attempts by Peterson to cover up foul play, sources said.
They point out that various chemicals were found on the mop he possibly used to clean the kitchen floor on Dec. 24, even though a cleaning maid had visited the house Dec. 23. Peterson told investigators the maid only finished cleaning half of the floor, but the maid has denied that to police.
Moreover, sources said Peterson vacuumed the living room on Dec. 24, in addition to washing his clothes. He told police his clothes smelled from fishing. But sources say his fishing gear did not appear "used" and that Scott wasn't in the habit of cleaning his own clothes – he'd always left them for his wife.
Investigators are still searching for missing items they believe belong to Scott: a 55-gallon drum, for which he had a receipt, but whose disappearance he could not explain; several large, cement blocks; several fishing weights; and fishing hooks.
Still too many questions, but the fact that a man who never washed his clothes since before marriage, or, presumably, didn't mop floors because he had maid service, he was certainly up to something...
