Peterson also spoke out for the first time about his affair with Amber Frey at the time of Laci’s disappearance and murder. Scott Peterson has broken his silence for the first time since being convicted of murder to reveal his version of what happened during his pregnant wife Laci Peterson’s final hours.
In a jailhouse interview from Mule Creek State Prison in California, featured in Peacock’s upcoming documentary series Face to Face with Scott Peterson, the convicted killer yet again insisted he is innocent in the killings of his wife, 27, and their unborn son, Conner, and details what he remembers of the day she went missing.
Laci was eight months pregnant when she vanished on Christmas Eve 2002. The bodies of her and her unborn child washed up on a shore four months later. Peterson reported her missing after he claimed he returned from a solo fishing trip and fond their Modesto, California, home empty and their dog loose in the backyard with its leash still attached.
In the new interview – his first public comments in two decades – Peterson said he remembers Laci’s “smile” from that day as he tries to “relish” what he claims were their last moments together. “I would see Laci smile when she would do her hair on the morning of the 24th, and the way we would share a bowl for cereal because we were too lazy to do two bowls,” he said.
Peterson also spoke out for the first time about the affair he was having in the lead-up to Laci’s disappearance and murder. “It’s horrible,” he said.
