Crime documentaries are incredibly powerful, and one particular Netflix series has left viewers with a ton of questions. A few days ago, Netflix released American Murder: Laci Peterson, a series based on a brutal murder. It soon shot to the top of the streaming service's weekly chart because of how well made it was and also because of the topic it covers. The documentary series narrates the tale of an eight-month pregnant woman who vanished without warning. Who is the likely culprit? her husband. The entire search for Laci has been detailed on the show, and it was discovered that her spouse and true love, Scott Peterson, was linked to the murder. The docu-series leaves us wondering: Where is Scott Peterson now? Here's everything you need to know.
While walking her dog near her house on December 24, 2002, eight-month pregnant Laci Peterson vanished. Four months later, in April 2003, things took a terrifying turn. The local authorities found her body in the San Francisco Bay, along with the body of her unborn child, Conner.?
In the middle of it all, her husband Scott Peterson was being questioned about his wife¡¯s disappearance and the police were trying to understand if Scott was behind all of it.
On April 18, 2003, Scott Peterson was taken into custody just a few days after the bodies of Laci Peterson and her unborn child were found in San Francisco Bay. Scott entered a not guilty plea after being charged with two counts of murder. He was given the death penalty by a judge in 2005 after the jury recommended it. The initial decision was overturned by the California Supreme Court in 2020, noting "a series of clear and significant errors in jury selection."?
Scott received a new sentence that included a life sentence for killing Laci and a 15-year sentence for the unborn child's death. At Mule Creek State Prison, he is presently serving a life term, with no chance of parole.
Till day, as the docu-series states, Scott maintains his innocence.
