THE bomb hoax victim Madeleine Pulver has been spared another ordeal during her HSC exams after her alleged tormentor chose not to apply for bail during a court hearing in Sydney yesterday.
Paul Douglas Peters, 50, who was escorted by two detectives from the US to Australia, will remain in custody for at least another two months after being charged over an alleged extortion attempt on the north shore.
Mr Peters, who was arrested in a joint NSW police and FBI operation in Kentucky five weeks ago, was charged with kidnapping, special aggravated break enter and committing a serious indictable offence, and demanding property with intent to steal.

Ms Pulver, 18, is studying for her HSC, and exams are due to finish on November 11 – six days before Mr Peters is scheduled to appear at Central Local Court.
The teenager was studying at home on August 3 when a masked intruder allegedly connected her to a fake collar-bomb, sparking a 10-hour ordeal involving explosive experts.
Yesterday, after a heavily guarded Mr Peters disembarked from a Qantas flight at Sydney Airport shortly before 7am, Ms Pulver and her father, Bill, stepped out briefly from their house at Mosman.
Mr Pulver said it was ”slightly strange” knowing that Mr Peters had returned to Australia. He was unsure if his family would attend the hearings.
”But it is an important step in the process to see him go through the courts,” Mr Pulver said. ”As a family we are really just sitting back and watching how it unfolds in the same way as everyone else.”
Mr Pulver praised his daughter’s resilience but expressed concern about the case affecting her exams.
”Maddie is a very strong young woman, who I think is doing a stellar job of coping and whatever happens with her HSC I don’t think it will affect the rest of her life,” he said. ”She will succeed no matter what.”
Passengers on flight QF12 described Mr Peters as calm, saying he sat quietly in a window seat during the 14-hour trip from Los Angeles.
Alex Price, 30, a physiotherapist from Wollongong, was seated across the aisle. ”He just sat staring at the TV,” Mr Price said. ”He was keeping to himself and staring out of the window a fair bit of the time. They got off before we left – he was escorted off the back of the plane.”
Mr Peters, greeted by as many as 30 officers yesterday, was taken to the Sydney Police Centre at Surry Hills.
He left Australia on a one-way ticket to the US on August 8 and was arrested near Louisville, Kentucky, where authorities found him in a house owned by his estranged wife.
Detective Superintendent Luke Moore, from the robbery and serious crime squad, said yesterday the extradition was ”the result of a very complex investigation and extensive co-operation between the NSW Police Force and various agencies, both in Australia and the United States”.
Mr Peters was expected to appear in Parramatta Bail Court via video link from the centre yesterday. But the magistrate Paul Lyon, after seeking the advice of Mr Peters’s counsel, said he did not require his presence. The solicitor Kathy Crittenden represented Mr Peters during the brief session and said her client did not want to apply for bail, which was formally refused.
Court documents refer to Mr Peters allegedly demanding an ”undisclosed” amount of money from the Pulvers during the siege at their Burrawong Avenue home.
The documents said he was armed with a dangerous weapon, identified as a ”replica improvised explosive device”.
The prosecutor Fiona Rowbotham said a brief of police facts in the case would be served by November 5.
Meanwhile, the Police Commissioner, Andrew Scipione, said everyone should keep an open mind.
”The fact that we’ve been able to bring this person of interest home has been a most important stage … in the process,” he said.”But as this particular person of interest appears in court, we need to simply let courts get on with the job. We don’t need to be speculating.”
