Laci Peterson Murder Case Returns in New Documentaries

Two decades after the tragic murder of Laci Peterson and her unborn son, new documentaries are shedding light on the case that captivated America. Scott Peterson, convicted of their murders in 2004, continues to assert his innocence. The documentaries feature fresh interviews, chilling details, and previously unseen footage, including a significant interview with Peterson's former lover, Amber Frey, who reveals the timeline of their affair leading up to Laci's disappearance. Frey, who had been involved with Peterson during the critical weeks before Laci's murder, speaks publicly for the first time in 20 years. She recounts how she initially believed Peterson was a widower before he later claimed that his wife had died. This revelation came on December 9, the same day he purchased a boat, raising further questions about his actions during the investigation. In addition to Frey's insights, the documentaries include interviews with detectives, reporters, lawyers, and jurors who played a role in the case. Laci's mother, Sharon Rocha, also shares her grief and reflections on her son-in-law for the first time since the tragedy. Director Skye Borgman emphasizes the significance of Rocha's participation, noting that while she had previously engaged with the press, this marks her first documentary interview. As the case continues to evoke strong emotions, the new projects aim to provide a comprehensive look at the events surrounding Laci Peterson's disappearance and the subsequent legal battle.
