The untold truth of the Laci Peterson murder case

The story of Laci Peterson's Christmas Eve disappearance shocked America to the core back in 2002, but nationwide disbelief quickly gave way to outrage when it transpired that her husband Scott was suspected of murdering her and their unborn son Connor. After claiming that he had returned home to find his pregnant wife missing, Scott initially had the full support of friends, family and the media, though they all turned against him as details of his involvement began to emerge. He became the most reviled man in America when authorities announced that he had been arrested for double-murder after the remains of Connor and Laci washed up in San Francisco Bay.
In 2004, Peterson was found guilty on both charges and sentenced to death, though the state of California has yet to execute him despite the public backlash that followed the leak of the autopsy report—Laci's head and limbs had been removed and lacerations were found on Connor's tiny body. Sadly, this is just one of many startling facts about this case, some of which were not even heard by the jury and only came to light after the verdict. This is the untold truth of the Laci Peterson murder case.
