About this listen

Hear the case that shook a nation—brought to life in gripping audio.

Christmas Eve, 2002: eight-months-pregnant Laci Peterson vanishes from her Modesto home, and America can’t look away. The Murder of Laci Peterson hurls you into the frantic 911 call, the exhaustive searches along San Francisco Bay, and the courtroom battle that turned Scott Peterson into a household name.

Through measured, cinematic narration, court transcripts and forensic evidence unfold like scenes in a thriller. You’ll relive the instant a simple holiday morning became a statewide manhunt, trace the investigative leaps that stitched together a web of circumstantial clues, and feel the suffocating media glare that blurred facts, fear, and public opinion. As each witness takes the stand, the narrator ratchets up the tension until the verdict—still fiercely debated—drops with gut-punching finality.

Yet this is more than a timeline. The story restores Laci’s humanity beyond the headlines, probes the psychology of domestic betrayal, and challenges you to weigh the evidence for yourself—all while keeping you riveted on your commute, during a workout, or in a late-night listening binge.

Press play, follow the clues, and decide where the truth really lies.
