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 think that Scott is probably the murdered because all of the evidence found leads to him. I think that the long black hair in his pliers is extremely suspicious so I think that its good that Scott is in prison now.
I think Scott murdered Laci and Conner because all of the evidence you just gave me proves that he killed her somehow and was having an affair. Even if no one found their bodies they still could have suspected Scott as the murderer because usually in a case like this it is the spouse that killed them.
I agree with your comment. Based on all of the evidence that the police uncovered, it almost points every finger to Scott. Also he was acting suspicious towards the police which was almost a dead giveaway to Scott lying about something and he knows what happened but he wasn't wiling to share it.
I think Scott for sure did commit the murder. I think that the authoritys had enough eveidence against him that he would have been found as guilty.
I agree with this, I do believe that the police uncovered a lot of evidence to why Scott is the murderer of Laci and Connor. I do also believe that he showed a lot of signs of being the murderer because he was acting suspicious towards the police and Laci's family.
I think Scott is the murderer because all of the evidence shows that he was trying to lie about her death and act like he didn't know what happened. When he was acting like he didn't know what happened he was suspicious. I think they would have kept looking for the bodies until they found them. If they also never found the bodies then they would of not had full evidence that shows if Scott really killed his pregnant wife.
I think that Scott is the killer, I think this because of the wierd behavior he even had before. I think that there is a possibility that he killed Laci because he didnt want her to find out he was having affair with another person, so unfortunately maybe killed her.
I do believe that Scott is the murderer. If he didn't kill her, why wouldn't he do anything in his power to prove he didn't? All the evidence points back at him and he's really the only suspect. If they never found the bodies, they probably still would've locked Scott up and found them eventually.
I agree with this. I also agree with your point that if he didn't do it, he didn't want to show anything that he didn't. He agreed to the polygraph test, which he failed. That shows that he was lying to the cops and not telling them something relating to the case.
Do you think Scott is the murderer? yes i belive that he was almost all of the evedance points twordes him expesilly when they found the plieres with black hair on them I belive that is extreamly suspiisuies and the voicemail is very scetch also so in conclusion i do belive he is a murder
