Netflix’s new documentary “American Murder: Laci Peterson” is outstanding.
The streaming giant recently released the three-episode documentary about the infamous killing of Laci Peterson by her husband Scott Peterson.
For those maybe too young to remember, Laci disappeared in 2002 while eight months pregnant. Her husband Scott quickly became the main person of interest, but with no body, there wasn’t much the police could do.
That all changed in April 2003 when her remains and the remains of her unborn baby washed ashore in the San Francisco Bay.
Netflix releases documentary on murder of Laci Peterson.
The must-watch documentary features interviews with several key players in the case, including Laci’s mother. As someone who loves true crime series, I can say beyond any shadow of a doubt that “American Murder: Laci Peterson” is 100% worth your time.
I was absolutely hooked from the first episode, and while I remembered the events of the case, the series takes people to the viewpoint of those actually involved in unmasking the brutal murder.
It also shines a light on just how insane Scott Peterson’s plan was to murder his wife and unborn baby. Evil at its worst level.

Peterson, who was originally sentenced to death but later had his sentence changed to life without parole, maintains his innocence and is put to the test in the documentary.
It's hard to watch American Murder: Laci Peterson and come to no other conclusion than that it was definitely Scott Peterson – the same conclusion the jury came to in 2004.
Viewers get a good look at the evidence and hear from the police responsible for bringing Scott to justice. The biggest sticking point was that there was a serious lack of evidence. In fact, there was virtually none. But the evidence, combined with the fact that Scott Peterson was having an affair with a woman who was cooperating with authorities, was enough to put him behind bars.
