The two-part series, set to air July 16 and 17, features legal analyst Chris Pixley and retired detective Ninette Toosbuy as they re-evaluate the logistics of the crime. Central to their argument is the claim that disposing of a body from Peterson’s small fishing boat in broad daylight would have been nearly impossible without witnesses or forensic trace evidence. The documentary highlights that while investigators found Laci’s hair on a pair of pliers in the boat, the tool lacked any blood or tissue and appeared unused for years.
Filmmakers also revisit the theory of an abduction, citing a burglary across the street from the Peterson home. They point to seven witnesses who reported a suspicious van in the area on December 24, 2002. One witness, a reserve police officer, reportedly observed a pregnant woman being forced into the vehicle. The program notes that a van matching this description was discovered burned 1.5 miles away shortly after, and that a police dog tracked Laci’s scent to that specific location during initial investigations.
Scott Peterson’s former defense attorney, Mark Geragos, continues to maintain his client's innocence. Geragos, who has represented numerous high-profile figures, stated that his conviction persists despite the 2004 verdict. While Peterson has unsuccessfully challenged his life sentence through various appeals, this new material brings the controversial case back into the public eye.
