Netflix announced 'American Murder: Laci Peterson,' a deep-dive on Laci's killing, set to drop a week before Peacock's interview with Scott.
The Netflix doc, directed by Skye Borgman, seems to focus on Laci’s family and friends’ side of the story. Detectives and reporters discuss the pair’s relationship in depth and the media circus that ensued when Scott was arrested.
The trailer opens with an interview with an eye-grabbing declaration from Laci’s mother, Sharon Rocha: “I remember, before I met Scott, Laci telling me all things about him. I remember saying, as a mother, ‘I hope he’s not filling her with crap.’ I’ve learned to go for my gut feeling.” The series even includes an interview with Scott’s mistress, Amber Frey, and features voice recordings from the time of their affair.
“In coming forward to tell Laci’s story for a new generation, they might empower other women experiencing intimate partner violence to escape a similarly tragic fate,” read a synopsis of the Netflix doc., 27, vanished on Christmas Eve 2002. Scott claimed that she was killed sometime after he left their Modesto home to go fishing in the San Francisco Bay. He soon became a prime suspect following growing police and public suspicion.
