The Murder of Laci Peterson

Laci Peterson goes missing in Modesto, California, and an extensive search is launched to find the eight months pregnant woman. The police also turn their attention to her husband, Scott.

When Scott Peterson's girlfriend Amber Frey appears, the media goes into quite a frenzy over the case.

When the bodies of Laci Peterson and her child are found in San Francisco Bay, her husband Scott Peterson is arrested, and becomes a national villain.

The prosecution requests the death penalty as punishment for Scott Peterson over the murders of Laci and Conner Peterson, but the defence steadfastly maintains his innocence over the killings.

The jury debates the facts in the Peterson case which eventually leads them to a verdict that leaves many people cheering.

In the wake of the final verdict, new theories come forth and condemn Scott Peterson to death by lethal injection.
