Twenty years ago, a case that gripped the world came to an end when Scott Peterson was convicted of killing his wife, Laci Peterson, and their unborn son.

Scott Peterson, who has always maintained his innocence, was convicted of murder in 2004 and sentenced to death the next year. He was resentenced to life without the possibility of parole after his death sentence was overturned in 2020.

Prosecutors portrayed him as an adulterer who dumped his wife’s body in the Berkeley Marina in California on Christmas Eve 2002 and tried to cover up the crime by making it appear as if she were missing. Her body later washed ashore.

The case has been chronicled over the years in numerous films, documentaries and books. Netflix’s “American Murder: Laci Peterson” and Peacock’s “Face to Face with Scott Peterson” are docuseries that will once again delve into what has become one of the most notable true crime cases in American history.  

Laci, 27, disappeared from her and Scott Peterson’s Modesto, California, home on Christmas Eve 2002, five years after they married. She was eight months pregnant with their son, Conner, at the time.
