254: High Profile: Laci and Conner Peterson, Part 1 Corpus Delicti

We're back from our break with a new series and a new multi part case!

On Christmas Eve, 2002, Scott Peterson came home to find his pregnant wife Laci missing. She wasn't seen again until her body washed ashore months later, as did her unborn son. Suspicion fell on Scott right away, and he was eventually arrested, charged, and found guilty. But this case is anything but simple. In this episode, we talk about the high level details, what Scott says happened that day, and what investigators found out happened that day. And this is just the beginning.
