this was a perfect True Crime
case it had
mystery
murder sex media Obsession hey Scott how
do you feel about all these cameras
pointed at you and all I'm Jack Leonard
I'm senior editor of Investigations at
the Los Angeles Times police in Modesto
California have very few leads in the
search for Lacy Peterson a 27-year-old
pregnant woman who vanished without a
trace on Christmas Eve Whoever has her
please please please let her go bring
her
back it's one of the most Sensational
murder cases in years Scott Peterson
accused convicted and sentenced to death
for killing his pregnant wife and
dumping her body in the San Francisco
Bay but now there's a new twist
California's highest court overturned
the death penalty for Scott Peterson who
was convicted of murdering his wife the
verdict did not clear up anything
there's no smoking gun in this case this
man murdered Lacy Peterson the
prosecution couldn't tell you when it
happened they couldn't tell you where it
happened they couldn't tell you how it
happened and they couldn't tell you why
it happened Scot if you could send a
message to your right now this was such
a famous
case everyone was talking about about it
Christmas Eve 2002 you have a a
beautiful young woman Lacy Peterson
she's 8 months pregnant suddenly she
vanishes we're searching we're looking
and we're going to find you her family
is distraught but as the reporters show
up they say that her husband Scott
Peterson is not showing that kind of
emotion people wonder what is he hiding
while investigators are focusing on
Lacy's husband they're not calling him a
suspect it turned out Scott Peterson was
hiding something he had a girlfriend
Scott told me he was not married Amber
fry we did have a romantic relationship
and suddenly you had Scott Peterson
declared as the most hated man in
America nobody believes you nobody ever
run into believes any part of your story
it was a circus there it was a full-on
media Feeding Frenzy guess what Scotty
San Quinn's your new home this case
spawned
for TV movies and a Blockbuster movie
Gone
Girl this case still holds a lot of
interest mostly because it remains an
enduring mystery Scott did not get a
fair trial I just don't believe a person
can commit a murder and transport a body
90 miles and not leave some uh tray of
evidence you think this is enough to
prove his innocence absolutely my name
is Janie Peterson I am Scott and Lacy
Peters sister-in-law these are the
people that the police never made a
follow-up visit with them we're doing
what we're doing to get to the truth
everything on this board is a fact
there's nothing that's come out that's
made me change my view that Scott got a
fair trial and that Scott is the one who
killed
Lacy the wrong person's in prison and
that's what this is about well I guess
possible but you know there's still
people that believe the Earth is flat
too
