Praying for a happy ending, friends and family stood by Laci's grieving
husband Scott. Four months later, Laci's decomposed body was found in
the murky waters of San Francisco Bay. The body of her child had washed
ashore about a mile away, after a possible "coffin birth." It was a sad
closure to an exhaustive search, and a grim end to a marriage that by
all accounts had appeared to be perfect.
Scott Peterson's behavior had cast a mysterious shadow over the death of
his pregnant wife: his alibi on the day of the disappearance was
questionable; he admitted to an affair with another woman; and when he
was finally charged with capital murder, he had altered his appearance.
Almost immediately, the media condemned Scott, even though he maintains
his innocence. Is Scott Peterson a victim of circumstantial evidence?
Despite the state attorney general's claim of a "slam dunk," the case
that has gripped the nation is much more complex, and is yielding even
more questions, doubts, accusations, and shocking revelations.
