Find out every minute details to this mysterious case which is guaranteed to keep you up at night... She went missing on Christmas Eve 2002 – and when her husband started acting suspicious, the entire country started paying attention. Throughout early 2003, her disappearance dominated the TV news right alongside the hunt for Saddam Hussein. The tragic story established a cast of characters who covered tabloid magazines for years, including Laci’s handsome husband Scott Peterson, Scott’s mistress, and a gaggle of celebrity lawyers. A missing pregnant woman is newsworthy enough, but it was the police search of the Peterson home after Christmas that tipped off the media to the seriousness of the investigation into Scott Peterson. From the moment of her disappearance, the Rocha family – Laci’s mother, stepfather and brother – repeatedly spoke to the media in the teary-eyed manner viewers have come to expect from loved ones in crisis. The family publicly supported her husband and defended his innocence. The tangled drama proved that even with other, more serious problems in the world, Americans had a bottomless appetite for true crime.
