Globe Tabloid magazine with a cover story on Scott Peterson.
Laci Denise Peterson (née Rocha; May 4, 1975 — c. December 24, 2002) was an American woman murdered by her husband, Scott Lee Peterson (born October 24, 1972), while eight months pregnant with their first child. The case has remained a subject of public interest and discussion, raising questions about the legal process and media coverage.
In 2002, Scott reported Laci missing from their home in Modesto, California. The next year, the remains of Laci and her unborn son, whom the couple had planned to name Conner, were discovered on the shores of San Francisco Bay. Scott was subsequently arrested and charged with two counts of murder. In 2004, he was found guilty of the first-degree murder of Laci and the second-degree murder of Conner. His death sentence was overturned in 2020. The next year, Scott was re-sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. In 2024, he was granted a status hearing in response to a request by the LA Innocence Project, a nonprofit legal advocacy organization claiming to have new evidence supporting his innocence.
