American Murder: Laci Peterson
Laci Peterson was a woman from Modesto California. She was married to Scott Peterson and they were expecting their first child, a baby boy. On Christmas Eve, 2002, Laci was reported missing by Scott. According to neighbors, she left her home and walked her dog at a nearby park. Later that day, the dog was reported running back from the park with the leash still attached, no Laci. Scott Peterson has been charged with first degree murder of his wife, and second degree murder of his son. He was sentenced to life in prisonment.
Scott Peterson was labeled as the murderer of Laci and his unborn son, Connor. When Scott Peterson filed a missing persons report on his missing wife, he was having an affair with a woman named Amber Frey. Amber was told before that Scott’s wife died and this would be the first holiday without her present. Scott also told Amber that he was traveling with his family for the holidays, even sharing a voicemail from Paris France on New Years Eve. Amber Frey was reading the daily news when she read about Laci, a description of her husband was in the article as well. She figured it out all along. Scott was having an affair, he lied about his wife, and he wasn’t in France, he was looking for her.
Another reason for how Scott killed his wife was that there is a voicemail that Scott sent to Laci. He sent this the day she went missing (December 24). It says how he was on his way to Berkeley Marina to get his boat in the water. He bought this boat on December 9th. When questioned late that evening, he told authorities he was going golfing. When asked if he would take a polygraph test, he refused. In the following days, authorities went to the shop where this boat was kept. They found handmade anchors, rope, and a pair of pliers. The pliers raised a huge red flag because wrapped around the pliers, was long, black, hair. Later DNA proved it was Laci’s.
Fast forward to April 12, 2003. Around 5 months into the hunt for Laci. 2 miles out from Berkeley Marina, washed up a body, one that was the size of an infant. The next day, the body of a full grown adult washed up in around the same spot as the first. DNA proved that the bodies were Conner and Laci’s bodies. Scott was taken to prison, where he has remained till this day.
Do you think Scott is the murderer?
What do you think would have happened if they never found the bodies?

I agree and disagree with your comment. I agree that he was charged with the right sentecing, but I disagree with the fact that he maybe didn't do it. Becuase of all the evidence that was found by police, every single piece points back to the police. Also he could be charged with lying to the police when saying he went golfing, but went "fishing".
I believe that Scott is the murderer. Multiple pieces sway me into thinking like the signs and how there are multiple pieces of evidence suggesting that he is the murderer. I mean they haven't managed to find the bodies because it was him. I am just relieved to know that he is serving his time for what he did.
I think that people and me are glad that Scott is serving in jail for killing people, I mean how would people think that he is indecent. From the obvious sign of murderer that did, I just don't think there's a reason to defend him. But the fact that people couldn't find the bodies is a little weird in my opinion.
I feel like Scott was the murduer, which there are multiple things to prove it, it just makes sense. i feel like nothing would have really happended if the bodies never washed up. I feel like hes guilty, if he had gotten away with this they would have never closed the case is what I'm assuming.
Do you think Scott is the murderer? Yes, I do belive Scott is the murderer, this is because all signs and evidence shows that he is guilty. Also his story doesn't line up with was people saw him doing. But the biggest reason is that he was having an affair, and likely wanted his wife gone.
I do think that Scott was the murderer as there is multiple cases of evidence, like the strand of hair found on his boat, the bodies, one an infant and the other a grown adult, which I believe is the bodies of Laci and her child. If they hadn't found the bodies, I think they still would have suspected Scott because of the strand of hair.
I agree with your comment. I agree with the fact that he should be put behind bars for good because of all the pieces of information that was found against him. I don't know if the bodies never wahsed up, I don't know if they would have every suspected Scott as the murderer.
Do you think Scott is the murderer? I think Scott murdered his wife and son. All the evidence you told us pointed to him. I don't know what would have happened if they hadn't found the bodies. I think that Scott would still have been found guilty.
I agree with your comment. I also believe that if they never found the bodies, that they couldn't put anyone behind bars because they wouldn't be able to put the piece together. If they arrested Scott and the bodies were found in a field, then it would show that Scott didn't do it.
I think that Petersen was the one who killed all of the innocent people. All the evidence they found leads back to him. If they never found the bodies they would just sit there and rot and he may have kept going on his killing spree.
