Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present · Killer Thriller Docu: Could new evidence in the Scott Peterson case prove his innocence? · 4 Apr 2026 podcast

Hi, guys.

Welcome back to Killer Thriller, docu-edition.

I'm your host, Jen Fessler, and we are going in-depth and behind the scenes of the most watched and most binged true crime documentaries and docuseries.

So today, we are diving into the Netflix documentary, American Murder, Lacey Peterson.

I don't know if any one of you listeners remember Lacey and

this story, but it happened on December 24th, 2002.

I remember it very well.

Lacey Peterson, who was eight months pregnant, was reported missing by her son, Scott Peterson, and stepfather.

So Scott claimed that he'd gone to the Berkeley Marina, which was almost 90 miles away from their home, to go fishing that morning, and that he had last seen Lacey before he left their Modesto, California home.

During the massive, and it was massive, search for Lacey, a woman named Amber Fry came forward and told detectives

that she had been dating Scott Peterson for months, which completely blew the whole case wide open and turned everyone's attention on Lacey's husband, Scott, as a possible suspect.

Lacey and her son, Connor's body washed up in the San Francisco Bay, just a few miles away from where Scott Peterson had been, well, quote unquote, fishing on the day of her disappearance.

So Scott was arrested, charged for the murders of Lacey and their son, Connor,

And then there was a trial, actually a five month trial.

And he was found guilty of first degree murder for Lacey's death and second degree murder for Connor's death.

Initially, he was sentenced to death in 2005.

And then the sentence was overturned in 2020.

due to what they said was juror issues, resulting in resentencing in 2021, where he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

And today, I almost cannot believe it, but I am speaking with the most incredible director of this and many amazing documentaries,

Sky Borgman.
