In a televised news conference on January 24, 2003, she stated she contacted the Modesto, California Police Department on December 30, 2002, to notify them of her involvement with Peterson.
Following the announcement of her link to the Laci Peterson case, Frey became embroiled in a series of sleazy tabloid-fueled scandals: Nude photographs she had taken years earlier were sold to the press; Michelle Hart, the ex-wife of former boyfriend Josh Hart, came forward to say Frey had become her husband's lover when he was still married.
She had a public feud with former close friend Saki Vincent after Vincent sold photos of Frey and Scott Peterson to People magazine.
Her father, Ron Frey, was a frequent guest on media shows, at times accompanied by Amber's attorney, Gloria Allred. He would usually defend against accusations that besmirched the good name of his daughter by stating that she was in fact yet another innocent victim of Scott Peterson's manipulation. She helped in the prosection of Scott Peterson by agreeing to tape phone calls between the two. The taped conversations showed Peterson to be unconcerned for his missing wife. They also showed his skilled habits of lying and pretending to be an unwed, carefree bachelor.
In January 2005, Frey published Witness: For the Prosecution of Scott Peterson, an autobiographical account of her involvement in the notorious case. Days after Scott Peterson's verdict of guilt was announced, she made many media appearances to promote her book, often accompanied by attorney, Gloria Allred.
Her book discusses her history with Peterson as well as details about her personal life.
Janel Moloney portrayed Frey in a television movie, Amber Frey: Witness for the Prosecution, broadcasted on CBS May 25, 2005.
