Q&A
What are some of the inconsistencies and lies that Scott Peterson has told in his recent interview?
Peterson has made several inconsistent statements, including his claim that he was searching for his family when he was actually having an affair with Amber Fry. He also lied about why he stayed in contact with Amber Fry after Lacey disappeared.
What is the burglary theory that Scott Peterson has put forward as a possible explanation for Lacey's disappearance?
Peterson claims that Lacey was kidnapped by burglars who were operating across the street from their home. However, the evidence for this theory is weak, and the burglars in question were questioned and polygraphed, with no evidence linking them to Lacey's disappearance.
What is the significance of the hair that was found intertwined in the pliers on Scott Peterson's boat?
The hair was found intertwined in the pliers, not just on them, which suggests that it was not simply a transfer. This evidence supports the prosecution's theory that Peterson used the pliers to attach anchors to Lacey's body before throwing her into the bay.
What is the significance of Scott Peterson's lack of emotion throughout the years?
Peterson's lack of emotion, particularly his tendency to smile and joke about the situation, is seen by many as a sign of psychopathy. His lack of remorse and empathy for Lacey's death further supports this view.
What is the significance of the state of the Peterson home after Lacey's disappearance?
The home was in a state of disarray, which did not reflect a husband and father who was expecting his family to return. This suggests that Peterson was not expecting Lacey to come home and that he may have been preparing to dispose of her body.
Show Notes
After years in prison, Scott Peterson is speaking out for the first time about the murder of his wife, Laci.
In the Peacock network's "Face To Face with Scott Peterson," he continues to assert that he did not kill the mother of his unborn child and presents an alternative theory. Peterson suggests that the heavily pregnant Laci may have gone across the street to confront thieves.
Peterson says he expected to be home after court until the verdict was read. Responding to allegations that he killed Laci because he didn't want to be married, Peterson states, "That's so offensive, that's so disgusting. I just don't get that argument, and it's absolutely not true." He admits to regretting his infidelity, acknowledging that he was an "a--hole," but insists he did not kill his wife.
