Episode 23: The Disappearance and Murder of Laci and Conner Peterson – Re-examined

The disappearance and murder of Laci and Conner Peterson has been in and out of news and media headlines for over twenty years. 

In this episode we compare Scott’s version of events to the State’s, along with the corresponding evidence in an effort to find the truth.

We discuss Scott’s recent appeal where he alleges there is new evidence that a burglary across the street from the Peterson home occurred on the same day that Laci went missing. 

Potential eyewitness sightings are explored and expert testimony is reviewed. 

Finally, we discuss the state of the victims’ bodies in an effort to find the truth…. was Laci a witness to a crime where the criminals had to silence her forever? Were she and Conner the victims of a baby ring, or did Scott Peterson kill his wife and unborn son? 

Listen to the evidence and you decide.
