pool of his own blood inside his business at NUMBER_TOKEN main street in san diego california his skull had been crushed by blows from a three foot long rusty metal pipe which had been wielded by a former employee of john's the motive had been robbery a man's life for NUMBER_TOKEN measly dollars that he had in his wallet and because of that john latham did not go home to his wife helen and his four children that night john and helen were the proud parents of three boys john jr who was six patrick who was four and robert who was only three months old at the time of his father's murder they also had one daughter two and a half year old jaclyn who we know better as jackie peterson scott peterson's mother shortly after the death of her husband helen latham suffered a mental breakdown and all four of her children were placed in the nazareth house this was an orphanage and at this point little jackie was separated not only from her mother but from her brothers too because they had separate units for girls and boys so basically overnight this two-year-old girl she lost her father her mother and all her siblings and she was essentially completely alone surrounded by strangers and she had no clue why she was alone and what had happened because she was far too young to understand jackie would return to live with her mother NUMBER_TOKEN years later when she was NUMBER_TOKEN but their reunion was a bit short-lived because right after jackie graduated from high school her mother helen passed away and she was alone again this started a pattern of jackie looking for love in all the wrong places between the years NUMBER_TOKEN and NUMBER_TOKEN jackie would become pregnant three times by three different men the first man he abandoned her so when she gave birth to a son named don in april of NUMBER_TOKEN she gave this baby up for adoption the next man that got her pregnant he was already married to another woman so when jackie gave birth to a daughter named anne she bled this baby up for adoption as well the third father also walked out and when jackie gave birth to another son named john um apparently she got a little flak from her doctor when she showed up pregnant again and he was like so do you think you're gonna keep this kid this time instead of putting him up for adoption i don't necessarily agree with the fact that he's he sort of pressured her into it or or shamed her into it but jackie did end up keeping john and she became a single mother trying to juggle her career and her role as a mother after purchasing a dress shop in la jolla california called the pudan now those who knew her at the time remembered her bringing her son john to work with her often but they also said that she would often overlook his needs in favor of the needs of her business so when she met lee peterson a divorced father of three it seemed like a good fit they both had responsibilities from prior relationships lee peterson had grown up with very little money in minnesota and he was working for a trucking company when jackie met him his three children NUMBER_TOKEN year old susan NUMBER_TOKEN year old mark
