About this episode

In 2002, Laci Peterson—8 months pregnant—vanished on Christmas Eve, sparking a nationwide media frenzy. Her husband, Scott Peterson, was quickly cast as the villain: cold, unfaithful, and ultimately charged with her murder. In 2004, he was convicted and sentenced to death. But over the years, questions have continued to swirl around the investigation, the media circus, and whether Scott really received a fair trial. Is Scott Peterson guilty—or was he convicted in the court of public opinion before he ever had a chance?

Join us as we reexamine one of the most infamous cases in modern true crime history.
