Years after Scott Peterson’s conviction, Laci Peterson murder to be revisited in separate docu-series on Peacock, Netflix

A woman in the trailer said Laci was “giddy” when she met Scott, while another said Laci believed her husband “was who he presented himself to be.”

In April 2003, four months after Laci vanished, the bodies of her and her unborn son washed ashore in San Francisco Bay. A pathologist testified in 2003 that her body was badly decomposed and that her head and forearms and one of her feet were missing. Her abdomen had worn away, according to the pathologist, and there was no evidence that she had given birth. The body of the baby had most likely broken free shortly before their remains were recovered, the pathologist said.

When was Scott Peterson arrested?

Scott Peterson was arrested in April 2003 near San Diego, more than a seven-hour drive from his home in Modesto. NBC Bay Area reported that he had bleached his hair and was carrying a huge pile of cash when police took him into custody.

At an arraignment, he pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder.

He was arrested after Amber Frey, a massage therapist living in Fresno, told police that they started dating a month before Laci died but that he had told her his wife was already dead.

At the trial, Laci’s relatives testified that Scott did not seem upset about her disappearance. Harvey Kemple, her cousin, recalled a time when, he said, Scott got angry over burning chicken at a barbecue.

“I saw more reaction out of him when he burnt the god-darned chicken than when his wife went missing,” Kemple is quoted as saying in a 2004 San Francisco Chronicle article.

Scott has spoken out about the case over the years, and he has always maintained his innocence. His attorneys have argued that Laci was killed after she stumbled upon a burglar. In the coming Peacock series, he expresses regret over his affair and once again declares: “I didn’t kill my family.”

“It’s horrible,” he said in an article published Tuesday by People magazine, ahead of the release of the Peacock series. “I was a total a–hole to be having sex outside our marriage.”

He also says he regrets not testifying at his trial and wants to be able to “show people what the truth is.”
