On Christmas Eve 2002, 27-year-old Laci Peterson, eight months pregnant, vanished from her Modesto, California home. What began as a missing persons search spiraled into a national obsession, exposing infidelity, media mania, and one of the most polarizing murder cases in American history.

In this episode, Natalie and Katrina unpack the timeline, investigation, legal missteps, and cultural impact of the case that transformed Scott Peterson from an average husband to the face of presumed guilt across America.

In this episode of Justice Seekers, Katrina and Natalie journey back to small-town Minnesota in the late 1980s, where trust and freedom defined childhood -- until one tragic night shattered a community’s sense of safety.
