Amye and Shabnam recap the 2024 Netflix Documentary American Murder: Laci Peterson


On Christmas Eve in 2002, Laci Peterson was reported missing from her home in Modesto, California, while eight months pregnant with her first child. The story dominated the media for months, leading up to the discovery of their remains in the San Francisco Bay. Slowly but surely, law enforcement built a case against her husband, Scott Peterson, and prosecuted him for the brutal murders of Laci Peterson and their unborn son. In 2004, Scott Peterson was convicted on two counts of murder.


Now, 20 years after Peterson\u2019s conviction, director Skye Borgman\u2019s three-part documentary series American Murder: Laci Peterson utilizes news clips, interrogation footage, and courtroom cameras to bring the dramatic disappearance, investigation, and trial into focus. The series features interviews with detectives, lawyers, and jurors involved in Peterson\u2019s trial, and also includes a conversation with Amber Frey, the woman with whom Peterson was living a double life at the time of his wife\u2019s disappearance \u2014 and whose willingness to participate with law enforcement led to major breakthroughs in the case against him. And, for the first time since Laci\u2019s death, her mother, Sharon Rocha, agreed to an in-depth interview for the series, offering fresh insight into her loss and the grief she carries to this day.
