About Murder of Laci Peterson in brief
Laci Denise Rocha was last seen alive on December 24, 2002. Her husband, Scott Peterson, was later convicted of first-degree murder for her death. He was also convicted for the death of their prenatal son Conner. Peterson has been housed at San Quentin State Prison, though his death sentence was overturned on August 24, 2020. Laci’s mother and half-sister are the only two people to have spoken to Laci before she disappeared. The couple had a son, Conner, who was born on February 16, 2003, and a daughter, Amy Woodward, born on March 1, 2004. Lacis’ mother, Sharon, and her half-ister, Amy Frey, are the last people to see Laci alive before she went missing in 2002. The two women are still living in California and have not spoken to each other since Laci went missing. The Rochas have a daughter named Amber, and have a son named Brent, who also lives in California. The Petersons also have a stepson, Nathan Hazard, and with his second wife, had another daughter called Amy Woodward. The last time Scott and Laci saw each other was during a three-day weekend in Carmel, California, the week before Christmas 2002. Scott told Laci he was single, and said he was going to marry a woman named Amber Frey, a massage therapist. In November 2002, when Laci was seven months pregnant, Scott was introduced by a friend to a Fresno massage therapist who said she was pregnant with his child.
In December 2002, Laci disappeared while eight months pregnant with her first child. Scott was the last person to see her before she was found dead in her home in Modesto, California. Scott has been sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 30 years, and is serving a sentence of life. He will be eligible for parole in 20 years, after his release from prison in 2023.
