Peterson's Strange Behavior After Arrest
- Scott Peterson ordered a cheeseburger just after learning the badly decomposed remains found in the San Francisco Bay were identified as his wife and unborn son.
- An investigator considered Peterson's immediate hunger a concerning red flag.
- The strange behavior raised suspicions about Peterson's possible involvement in the tragic event.
In a recent Netflix docuseries titled "American Murder: Laci Peterson," retired Modesto police Detective Jon Buehler revealed a striking detail about Scott Peterson's behavior after he learned that remains found in the San Francisco Bay had been identified as those of his wife, Laci, and their unborn son. Buehler described it as an “enormous red flag” that Peterson was “ready to eat” a meal at In-N-Out Burger shortly after receiving the devastating news. This incident occurred during Peterson's transport from San Diego, where he had been arrested, back to Modesto to face murder charges. At the time, Peterson was already a suspect in his wife's disappearance, which had begun on Christmas Eve 2002. However, DNA evidence confirming the identity of the remains had not yet been established. Buehler expressed his shock at Peterson's appetite during the drive, especially given the circumstances surrounding the case. Peterson had claimed he was out testing a new fishing boat in the Bay when Laci went missing. The public's interest in the Peterson case remains strong, fueled by various documentaries and podcasts that explore alternative theories and question his guilt. Despite ongoing discussions, many claims made by the LA Innocence Project regarding new DNA testing have been previously discredited by the courts. As the case continues to unfold, the scrutiny surrounding Peterson's actions and the evidence against him persists.
