(7:45) - Updates - Matthew Perry
(16:55) - Laci Peterson
In 2002, Laci Peterson and her husband Scott found out that they were expecting their first child, a son they planned to name Conner.
From the outside, the couple appeared to have a picture-perfect life. Under the surface though, cracks were forming.
From early on in their marriage, Scott had a number of affairs with other women. In November 2002, he began an affair with a woman named Amber Frey. He told Amber at one point that he had ‘lost his wife’ and the upcoming Christmas would be his first without her.
On Christmas Eve 2002, Laci was around 8 months pregnant. Scott said he left her at home watching Martha Stewart and that she was gone when he returned.
The search for Laci and her unborn son was one of the most extensive and high-profile ever seen. Laci and Conner’s remains would be found months after they vanished.
Scott was arrested near the Mexican border and was charged in relation to the deaths of his wife and son.
22 years later, there is still movement in this case. An organization called the LA Innocence Project is spearheading a new appeal to prove Scott’s alleged innocence.
