The Scott Peterson case is a high-profile murder case that captivated the attention of the United States in the early 2000s. Scott Peterson was accused of murdering his wife, Laci Peterson, who was eight months pregnant at the time of her disappearance on December 24, 2002, in Modesto, California.


The case gained widespread media coverage due to several factors, including the seemingly idyllic image of the couple, the mysterious circumstances surrounding Laci's disappearance, and the shocking revelation that Scott was having an extramarital affair at the time of his wife's disappearance.


Laci's body and the body of her unborn son, Conner, washed ashore in April 2003 along the San Francisco Bay, not far from where Scott claimed to have been fishing on the day of her disappearance. This discovery intensified suspicions against Scott Peterson, particularly after evidence emerged suggesting that he had purchased a boat and fishing gear shortly before Laci vanished.


During the investigation and subsequent trial, the prosecution presented circumstantial evidence indicating that Scott Peterson had both the motive and opportunity to murder his wife, including financial pressures, his affair, and inconsistencies in his alibi. The defense, on the other hand, argued that there was no direct evidence linking Scott to the murders and suggested that Laci may have been abducted by someone else while walking the dog.


In November 2004, Scott Peterson was found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Laci and Conner Peterson. He was sentenced to death by lethal injection in California's San Quentin State Prison. The case remains one of the most widely discussed and debated criminal trials in recent memory, with ongoing interest in aspects such as the investigation, trial proceedings, and the ultimate guilt or innocence of Scott Peterson.
