Peacock’s three-part docuseries, Face to Face With Scott Peterson, provides an exclusive insight into one of the most notorious cases in recent history. In a surprising turn of events, Scott Peterson refutes the allegations that he murdered his pregnant wife, Laci Peterson, due to his reluctance to embrace fatherhood.
Shareen Anderson, the series director and co-executive producer, has dedicated over a decade to unraveling the complexities of this infamous case. She explores the potential innocence of Peterson, who, for the first time since 2003, shares his account of events on camera in an attempt to dispel the prevailing misconceptions surrounding Laci’s tragic demise.
During an on-camera discussion from prison, the director confronts Peterson with the allegations, “They claimed that you murdered Laci because you didn’t want the responsibilities of marriage and fatherhood.”
Peterson responds with evident disgust, “That’s so repulsive, so revolting.” He admits, “I deeply regret betraying Laci, undoubtedly.” He attributes his infidelity to being “immature, lacking self-esteem,” and being “self-centered” while “traveling somewhere, feeling lonely that night because I wasn’t home and someone makes you feel good because they want to have sex with you.”
The docuseries, Face to Face, presents alternative theories on what could have transpired if Peterson is innocent, including the possibility of a burglary at the neighboring house. Peterson’s former defense attorney, Lara Yeretsian, suggests in the trailer, “The burglars might have kidnapped and murdered Laci.” The series also includes discussions with former Modesto Police Department lead detective Al Brocchini, detective Jon Buehler, and former ABC News producer Mike Gudgell, among others.
The 2017 A&E docuseries, The Murder of Laci Peterson, previously explored the potential innocence of Peterson. It highlighted how the police overlooked the burglary, even though it coincided with the day Laci went missing.
Face to Face With Scott Peterson will be available for streaming on Peacock starting Tuesday.
