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

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

    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.

I’m really disappointed in listening to this case. I’ve never heard of this person but the opinions one of the hosts has rubbed me the wrong way.
Manipulation doesn’t take years. It can be months. Just because you haven’t dealt with manipulating at that level, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
Before putting your two sense in on solitary confinement, you should really research what it does. Locked up 23 hrs a day, normally a shower every couple of days, no contact with others. Just because they allowed her to do an interview , doesn’t change the fact that she was locked up for 23 hrs a day. Example- if you do one interview and you’re locked up for 5 years, you’re still locked up 23 hrs a day. How many people are going crazy on quarantine for two weeks with no contact? Imagine that in prison for YEARS! Please do some research on what you’re talking about because this was such a poorly done conversation.
For context- I worked in a prison for two years where we held two previously escaped inmates. They would have sat 6 months in solitary confinement with the ability to get more time out within those 6 months. It is not mentally appropriate to keep someone in it that long.

I grew up in the town where the court proceedings took place. My Mother was actually foreman of the jury on this case and was sequestered for quite some time. You had some interesting points. I wanted to listen to your first podcast, but I believe you said it wasn’t available?

Love the format of your show.
I think it’s really clever to do it “Topic” style instead of season or year.
Amazing content, well researched, well spoken.
Great listen and I do! Weekly! 😅🥰
