the Los Angeles Times police in Modesto California have very few leads in the search for Lacy Peterson a 27-year-old
00:00:32
pregnant woman who vanished without a trace on Christmas Eve Whoever has her please please please let her go bring
00:00:38
her back it's one of the most Sensational murder cases in years Scott Peterson accused convicted and sentenced to death
00:00:51
for killing his pregnant wife and dumping her body in the San Francisco Bay but now there's a new twist
00:00:59
California's highest court overturned the death penalty for Scott Peterson who was convicted of murdering his wife the
00:01:05
verdict did not clear up anything there's no smoking gun in this case this man murdered Lacy Peterson the
00:01:13
prosecution couldn't tell you when it happened they couldn't tell you where it happened they couldn't tell you how it
00:01:20
happened and they couldn't tell you why it happened Scot if you could send a message to your right now this was such
00:01:26
a famous case everyone was talking about about it Christmas Eve 2002 you have a a
00:01:34
beautiful young woman Lacy Peterson she's 8 months pregnant suddenly she vanishes we're searching we're looking
00:01:43
and we're going to find you her family is distraught but as the reporters show up they say that her husband Scott
00:01:51
Peterson is not showing that kind of emotion people wonder what is he hiding while investigators are focusing on
00:01:59
Lacy's husband they're not calling him a suspect it turned out Scott Peterson was
00:02:03
hiding something he had a girlfriend Scott told me he was not married Amber fry we did have a romantic relationship
00:02:11
and suddenly you had Scott Peterson declared as the most hated man in America nobody believes you nobody ever
00:02:18
run into believes any part of your story it was a circus there it was a full-on media Feeding Frenzy guess what Scotty
00:02:26
San Quinn's your new home this case spawned for TV movies and a Blockbuster movie
00:02:33
Gone Girl this case still holds a lot of interest mostly because it remains an enduring mystery Scott did not get a
00:02:45
fair trial I just don't believe a person can commit a murder and transport a body
00:02:49
90 miles and not leave some uh tray of evidence you think this is enough to prove his innocence absolutely my name
00:02:56
is Janie Peterson I am Scott and Lacy Peters sister-in-law these are the people that the police never made a
00:03:02
follow-up visit with them we're doing what we're doing to get to the truth everything on this board is a fact
00:03:08
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
00:03:13
killed Lacy the wrong person's in prison and that's what this is about well I guess
00:03:20
possible but you know there's still people that believe the Earth is flat too
