00:00:00I think everybody sitting at home wants the answer to the same question.
00:00:07Did you murder your wife?
00:00:09I'm aware that suspicion has turned to me.
00:00:13And it's turned to me, one, because I am her husband.
00:00:18And that's a natural thing.
00:00:21And I've heard all the statistics on all the news programs about how someone, a husband,
00:00:32ex-husband, boyfriend, is someone who statistically would be one who would be responsible for
00:00:41her disappearance.
00:00:45And I'm sorry, I forgot your question.
00:00:50Air 1-1-2-20.
00:00:53A river road heading south, we're a little apart.
00:00:56Roger that.
00:01:20I left about 9.30 this morning.
00:01:31Martha Stewart had just come on, I think.
00:01:33I went fishing on the bay, got to the marina maybe 11 or so, I launched my boat.
00:01:41She was going to walk Mackenzie, our dog, and go shopping.
00:01:45We had dinner plans tonight with her folks, Christmas Eve dinner.
00:01:50I got back about 4.30 and the dog was already in the backyard.
00:01:53His leash was on still and it was all muddy.
00:01:56And it just doesn't make sense.
00:01:58She wouldn't just leave.
00:01:59She would never just leave.
00:02:01And I called all our friends, and then I called mom, Sharon, Lacey's mom.
00:02:06I called her.
00:02:07Her cell phone's here.
00:02:09Her keys and her purse are here.
00:02:11Her car is in the driveway.
00:02:13I mean, obviously something has happened.
00:02:15Why are we just standing around here?
00:02:17We need to work out a timeline.
00:02:18Look, I told you.
00:02:19I told you what we know already.
00:02:21Scott called and said Lacey's missing.
00:02:23Ron called you and we came.
00:02:25We came and we should be in the park looking.
00:02:27Mrs. Roach and ma'am.
00:02:28And she could have fallen and hit her head.
00:02:30She could be unconscious.
00:02:31My God, she could be in labor.
00:02:34Please, we have got to get there.
00:02:36Please.
00:02:37Sharon.
00:02:38You're her father?
00:02:39Step away.
00:02:40No.
00:02:41Brother and sister?
00:02:42Yeah, I'm Brent.
00:02:43This is Amy.
00:02:45Hey, look.
00:02:46I know this is hard on all of you, but we have officers in the park.
00:02:49We are not losing time.
00:02:51I promise.
00:02:52Just finish, please.
00:02:53Just finish asking your questions.
00:02:55Have you fought recently?
00:02:58Did you argue?
00:03:00No.
00:03:01No.
00:03:02No.
00:03:03No.
00:03:04No.
00:03:05Has she ever left before?
00:03:06Never.
00:03:07I'm sorry, Mr. Peterson.
00:03:08I have to ask these questions.
00:03:09Mr. Peterson?
00:03:10Ask me.
00:03:11Ask anything.
00:03:12The two of you had no problems, then.
00:03:13Your marriage is secure.
00:03:14Our marriage is perfect.
00:03:15We're having a baby.
00:03:16So there's no reason to think that Mrs. Peterson has left you?
00:03:17No.
00:03:18No reason to think that Scott would give her cause to go?
00:03:19No.
00:03:20No.
00:03:21Scott and Lacey are perfect.
00:03:22They're the couple everybody wants to be.
00:03:23They're the perfect couple.
00:03:24I'm sorry.

00:04:12Don't call us, please.
00:04:14Come on.
00:04:15Ooh!
00:04:16Actually, scratch that!
00:04:17No, please, do take advantage.
00:04:19I love nothing more than what a pregnant woman
00:04:21to take advantage of me.
00:04:22Hi!
00:04:23Hi!
00:04:24Hi, Daddy.
00:04:25Hey!

00:04:29Oh.
00:04:31No, no, no.
00:04:32Leave it Linda, leave it.
00:04:33I told them you guys would be home soon,
00:04:35but you just wouldn't go back to sleep.
00:04:36Come on, cowboy.
00:04:38Yeah, yeah, yeah, here we go.
00:04:39Got it?
00:04:40I'll be right over.
00:04:41Hold on tight.
00:04:42All right, here we go.
00:04:43Hey, give her a little extra, will you?
00:04:44We were later than we said.
00:04:45Mm-hmm.
00:04:46OK.
00:04:47You have five new messages.
00:04:48No saved messages.
00:04:49Hey, guys.
00:04:50It's me, Scott.
00:04:51I just want to double-check that we're on for New Year's.
00:04:52Call me up.
00:04:53Bye-bye.
00:04:54It's me again.

00:05:02Bye-bye.
00:05:03Hey, guys.
00:05:04It's me again.
00:05:08You guys seen Lacey?
00:05:09She's not here, and she didn't leave a note.
00:05:10Uh, let me know.
00:05:11Hello?
00:05:12What?
00:05:13Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:05:14Slow down.
00:05:15Donna.
00:05:16Lacey's missing.
00:05:17What?
00:05:18Scott Peterson, a Modesto resident, told police that he left his pregnant wife, Lacey, at
00:05:19home around 9.30.
00:05:20Donna says something's happened.
00:05:21Something's happened to Lacey.
00:05:22...go fishing at the Berkeley Marina.
00:05:23His wife had said she was going to take the family dog, Mackenzie, for a walk in East
00:05:24Loma Loma Park.
00:05:25That's not true.
00:05:26That's not true.
00:05:27That's not true.
00:05:28That's not true.
00:05:29That's not true.
00:05:30That's not true.
00:05:31That's not true.
00:05:32That's not true.
00:05:33That's not true.
00:05:35No, we see.
00:05:36We see.
00:05:37She's on the news right now.
00:05:38She is eight months pregnant and was last seen wearing black slacks and a white top.
00:05:39If anyone has any information regarding her whereabouts...
00:05:40We gotta get over there right now.
00:05:41God, look how many people are here.
00:05:42Oh, man.
00:05:43I can't believe this.
00:05:44There's Donna and Angela.
00:05:45What are the police saying?
00:05:46I don't know.
00:05:47They talked to the Roaches, but we don't know what happened yet.
00:05:48All right.
00:05:49All right.
00:05:50All right.
00:05:51All right.
00:05:52All right.
00:05:53All right.
00:05:54All right.
00:05:55All right.
00:05:56All right.
00:05:57All right.
00:05:58All right.
00:05:59All right.
00:06:00All right.
00:06:01All right.
00:06:02All right.
00:06:03Are you sure this is her?
00:06:04I don't believe it.
00:06:05Elizabeth, what is happening here?
00:06:06I don't understand.
00:06:07No one's seen her all day?
00:06:08No, Amy saw them both last night at the new salon, but...
00:06:09I called this morning buy I got the machine.
00:06:10Are you sure you're up for this?
00:06:11Is Lacey in the park?
00:06:12They think so, but I'm up for it.
00:06:18Detective Ross is handing you a recent photo of Mrs. Peterson.
00:06:26Now, she was last seen wearing black pants and a white pullover.
00:06:31Mrs. Peterson is eight months pregnant.
00:06:33Now, the park runs about five miles east to west and a mile north to south.
00:06:38I want the A-team to take the west side, B, the east.
00:06:41We gotta cover every square inch of this place.
00:06:45All right, let's move out.
00:06:49I, um, smelled bleach when I was back at the house.
00:06:54It could have been coming off the pool.
00:06:57Yeah. Yeah, it could have been.
00:07:02Run out there faster!
00:07:04Icy! Icy!
00:07:06Icy!
00:07:08Icy!
00:07:10Icy! Icy!
00:07:13Icy!
00:07:15Icy!
00:07:17Icy!
00:07:19Icy!
00:07:21Icy!
00:07:23Icy!
00:07:25There's people on horses!
00:07:28It's Christmas! It's Christmas!
00:07:30It's Christmas! It's Christmas!
00:07:32Oh!
00:07:35Go get a present. Go. What a santa get you.
00:07:37Merry Christmas, baby.
00:07:39But for this Modesto family, the holidays are now filled with fear.
00:07:43Lacey Peterson is 5'1", about 140 pounds.
00:07:47She has brown hair and brown eyes.
00:07:50She is eight months pregnant.
00:07:52Put my head back over, okay?
00:07:56She could have hit her head.
00:07:57She could be hurt in the hospital somewhere.
00:07:59You know, somebody could have...
00:08:01Don't think the worst. Don't do that to yourself.
00:08:05Somebody could have taken her. We don't know.
00:08:09We don't know what happened, but...
00:08:12What?
00:08:14I don't think she's in the park.
00:08:17Officer, it's okay. He's with us.
00:08:19What can I do?
00:08:21Hey, how's Kate? She doing okay?
00:08:23Yeah. She's gonna leave Sammy with my folks. Come back later.
00:08:25She needs to rest.
00:08:27Yes. Try stopping her.
00:08:29Nobody's getting any sleep till we find Lacey.
00:08:34Bye.
00:08:36Bye.
00:08:38Bye.
00:08:40Bye.
00:08:42Bye.
00:08:44Bye.
00:08:47How you holding up?
00:08:49Kind of numb.
00:08:51Are your folks coming up from San Diego?
00:08:53Yeah. I talked to them, so...
00:08:55What?
00:08:57Sorry.
00:08:59It's okay. It's okay.
00:09:10I saw her.
00:09:12You saw her?
00:09:14Where'd you see her, ma'am?
00:09:16I saw her walking her dog right on this street.
00:09:20When? When did you see her?
00:09:22Yesterday. Christmas Eve.
00:09:24A pretty pregnant woman. Very pregnant.
00:09:27You need to tell the police, ma'am.
00:09:29Uh...
00:09:31Could you have them call me?
00:09:34Um...
00:09:37All right.
00:09:39If somebody hurts her...
00:09:41I swear to God, if somebody hurts her...
00:09:43She's gonna be fine, Brent. We just have to...
00:09:45I should have been there to protect her.
00:09:47Damn, I should have been there.
00:09:49Yeah, me too, Brent.
00:09:51What the hell?
00:10:05Hey, what's going on?
00:10:07Hey, what's going on?
00:10:09Got a warrant to search your home, Mr. Peterson, and your vehicles.
00:10:12But why?
00:10:14Just routine. We're looking for any indication of where she might have gone.
00:10:17But she didn't go anywhere.
00:10:19You know, she didn't just run off somewhere.
00:10:21No, I mean, she's not here at the house either, okay?
00:10:24She's taken or she's hurt somewhere out there.
00:10:27Stop. Take it easy, all right? Listen to me.
00:10:30We're not gonna stop looking.
00:10:32All right? This is just procedure.
00:10:34What we're doing, we're here to find Lacey.
00:10:36We're here to help you. I'm sorry. Okay, yeah, I just...
00:10:39Why don't you come down to the station with us?
00:10:41We'll run over a few questions.
00:10:43Don't you guys want me to stay here and help you find whatever it is you're looking for?
00:10:46Mr. Peterson.
00:10:48Get in the car, please.
00:10:53Brent, why don't you take McKenzie inside?
00:10:55Yeah, sure. I'll be right back.
00:10:58The Sun-Carrington Foundation was established in 1999
00:11:02after Julie and Carol Sun were abducted in Yosemite.
00:11:05We worked with the Levees last year when Chandra went missing.
00:11:08We have strong ties to the community.
00:11:10We are an advocate for families of the missing.
00:11:13My job is to help you through this.
00:11:15The Foundation's job is to get Lacey back safely.
00:11:18The first thing we need to do is set up a search center.
00:11:21We use this room for the Sun volunteers.
00:11:23Oh, we're the Petersons. We're Scott's parents.
00:11:26Jackie, Lee. Oh, Sharon.
00:11:29I'm so sorry. So, so sorry.
00:11:32How could this happen? How could this happen?
00:11:35Has anyone called? Is it... It isn't a kidnapping.
00:11:38No. No calls. No notes. Nothing.
00:11:41No, she's just gone.
00:11:43Scott said goodbye to her.
00:11:45He's gone.
00:11:47No, she's just gone.
00:11:50Scott said goodbye yesterday morning.
00:11:52She was gone when he got back.
00:11:54We'll find her, Ron.
00:11:56Find her and bring her home.
00:11:58Sharon, where's Scott?
00:12:00Did you speak to anyone, Scott, at the marina?
00:12:02I didn't have conversations with anyone.
00:12:05Did you see anybody?
00:12:07I might have nodded to a few people before I launched.
00:12:10I don't know.
00:12:12See, we need to confirm your whereabouts.
00:12:14The marina receipt you gave us doesn't have a timestamp.
00:12:16We've already been through this.
00:12:18I towed the boat to the marina.
00:12:20I got to the bay around 11.
00:12:22I motored out to Brooks Island.
00:12:24Can't just take your word for it.
00:12:26Nothing was biting. It was getting choppy.
00:12:28I headed back in.
00:12:30What time was that?
00:12:32I already told you what time that was.
00:12:34Stop asking me the same questions over and over again.
00:12:36Do you use bleach on your floors?
00:12:40We have someone who cleans for us.
00:12:42She's a cleaning woman. She doesn't use straight bleach.
00:12:45Did you mop up when you got home last night?
00:12:48Uh, yeah, I was dirty.
00:12:50The cleaning woman said she just washed them.
00:12:53We have a dog. They get muddy.
00:12:56What were you fishing for?
00:12:59Uh, sturgeon.
00:13:01Yeah? Big fish.
00:13:04What'd you use for bait?
00:13:08I don't know.
00:13:10Your neighbor across the street told us that Lacey would open the blinds every morning.
00:13:14No.
00:13:16Likes to let the sun in.
00:13:18She didn't open them yesterday, though.
00:13:20Uh, yeah, yeah, yesterday they were down.
00:13:22It was, uh, cold outside.
00:13:24It was like 40 degrees.
00:13:2640 degrees?
00:13:28Man, it must have been freezing out there on the bay.
00:13:31Can't remember what bait he used.
00:13:34I remember the bait I used when I was five years old.
00:13:37First time my dad took me fishing.
00:13:39Frank. Hey. Detective Ross.
00:13:41Hey, Tommy. Now's really not a good time.
00:13:43This woman, she saw Lacey walking her dog yesterday.
00:13:51Yesterday, she saw her in the morning.
00:13:53All right. We'll check it out.
00:13:55Okay. Say hi to Kate.
00:14:00Scott.
00:14:04Scott.
00:14:06Excuse me. Excuse me. Can I talk to you for a second?
00:14:09Scott. Hey.
00:14:13I don't think they believe me.
00:14:15Who doesn't believe what?
00:14:17They should be out there looking for her, not asking me about bait and bullshit.
00:14:20They are looking. Hey, Scott, they got a whole army on them.
00:14:23No, they're questioning me like I'm a suspect.
00:14:25That's what they do. You say you went fishing, they confirm it.
00:14:27Lacey could have left something in the house.
00:14:29They search it.
00:14:31Hey, no, no, no, no, no. Scott, come on.
00:14:33No way.
00:14:35Look, come to the restaurant, all right? Calm down. Just calm down a little.
00:14:38I can't stay in one place.
00:14:40I don't know what I'm gonna do. I just... I don't...
00:14:43Yes.
00:14:45Mr. Peterson claimed he went fishing on Christmas Eve.
00:14:48Yes. Yes.
00:14:50He produced a boat launch receipt from the Berkeley Marina dated December 24th.
00:14:54Yes.
00:14:56Mr. Peterson paid the fee to launch his boat,
00:14:58but has anyone reported seeing him on the water?
00:15:00No. At this point, no.
00:15:02Yes, ma'am.
00:15:04There's no proof he actually went fishing, then?
00:15:06We're asking for the public's help in confirming Mr. Peterson's identity.
00:15:09Confirming Mr. Peterson's alibi.
00:15:11Is Scott Peterson a suspect in his wife's disappearance?
00:15:13No.
00:15:14Has he been cleared?
00:15:16No, ma'am. No, he has not been cleared.
00:15:18Yes.
00:15:19What was she wearing the last time she was seen?
00:15:21Black pants with a white pullover.
00:15:23Do you have any suspects?
00:15:25Listen to the questions they're asking, Tommy.
00:15:27I mean, they're saying that he did it.
00:15:29No.
00:15:30They're starting down that road.
00:15:32They're implying, insinuating.
00:15:34He didn't do anything.
00:15:36Oh, but it would make such a great story, wouldn't it?
00:15:38You know what they're going to do?
00:15:39They're going to take a perfect couple,
00:15:41and they're going to turn them into a horror show.
00:15:43Watch them.
00:15:44Scott doesn't have any skeletons.
00:15:46Watch them, Tommy.
00:15:48These people come to town expecting the worst.
00:15:51Scott, is there anything else you can think of?
00:15:53Anything that can help us?
00:15:55If there was anything else to say, he would have said it.
00:15:57There are things husbands and wives keep between them.
00:16:00We can't afford secrets.
00:16:03No.
00:16:05There's nothing.
00:16:08I told everything.
00:16:11I can't think of what else to say.
00:16:22I don't think it's...
00:16:25It's not going to help,
00:16:28me talking to the press.
00:16:30Scott, they can only learn about Lacey through us.
00:16:35I won't make it.
00:16:38I'll fall apart.
00:16:40Then let them see that.
00:16:42Let them see how much you love her.
00:16:44They don't want to see that.
00:16:47You heard them today.
00:16:49They don't care.
00:16:51The press has a victim.
00:16:55They want a villain now.
00:16:59Hello?
00:17:01Hey, it's me.
00:17:03I miss you. Are you back?
00:17:06No, no, I'm still out of town, sweetie.
00:17:09Sorry we couldn't spend Christmas together.
00:17:11Me, too.
00:17:13You know what? I'll be home soon.
00:17:16And after January comes, I'll be back.
00:17:19I'll miss you.
00:17:21I'll miss you.
00:17:23I'll miss you.
00:17:25I'll miss you.
00:17:27And after January 26th, I'm, like, all yours, sweetie.
00:17:32Good. Can't wait.
00:17:34I'll talk to you later.
00:17:36Okay. Bye.
00:17:38Bye.
00:17:58Dixie, find her.
00:18:12Find her.
00:18:16Something wrong with the hound?
00:18:18No. Doc's fit.
00:18:20This woman didn't leave on foot.
00:18:22Husband has her walking to the park sometime after 9.30, morning of the 24th.
00:18:26If she went anywhere, she went in a car.
00:18:28Her scent stops here.
00:18:31The first time I heard about Scott, Lacy called me from college.
00:18:35And she said she'd met the man she was gonna marry.
00:18:39I drove down to San Luis Obispo to meet him.
00:18:43We had dinner plans with Scott.
00:18:46And he met us at the restaurant door.
00:18:50And he says,
00:18:52It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Rocha.
00:18:55And he escorts us in,
00:18:57And there are two beautiful rose bouquets on the table,
00:19:01White for me and red for Lacy.
00:19:09They're a fairy-tale couple, and he's the prince.
00:19:15I love Scott for how he thinks.
00:19:19For how he's taken care of Lacy.
00:19:23The person I know would not hurt my daughter.
00:19:29Did you hear? The reward fund went up to $500,000.
00:19:33I logged 100 new volunteers since 9 this morning.
00:19:36We've got folks coming in from all over the place.
00:19:40Dozens more searching up and down the Tuolumne and Merced, San Joaquin.
00:19:45People just... they just need to help her.
00:19:49Have a seat.
00:19:51Is Scott here?
00:19:53I don't know. He was.
00:19:55But, um, he comes in the mornings before work.
00:19:58Checks the website, talks to the volunteers.
00:20:00Before work? He's working?
00:20:02He's not going on the road, I don't think.
00:20:05But, you know, he's just working on the phones.
00:20:07How can he keep working?
00:20:09Because he knows Lacy's coming home.
00:20:15Mr. Vignatti.
00:20:16Ah, yes, sir.
00:20:17Todd Dewey, KNBS, out of Oakland.
00:20:19Wonder if we might do an interview with you.
00:20:24Hey, guys.
00:20:25Hey, Kay.
00:20:26Coming or going?
00:20:27Sorry, going. I gotta show a house.
00:20:29I was just telling Donna Lacy wouldn't believe it, all this for her.
00:20:34No, she'd never believe it.
00:20:42We should have never moved here.
00:20:43Lacy wanted to raise Connor here with her family.
00:20:47But if we hadn't, maybe she'd still be here.
00:20:52The town didn't take Lacy's guy.
00:20:54You know, everybody's desperate to find her.
00:20:56It's not that. It's...
00:20:57I don't want to think about what it is.
00:21:00I can't think about anything else.
00:21:02I can't sleep from thinking about it so much.
00:21:06Every time I go home, I walk in that house.
00:21:10You know what?
00:21:11We'll come over and we'll make you a meal, okay?
00:21:13You don't have to be alone, Scott.
00:21:15I appreciate it, but you don't have to do that.
00:21:17You and Lacy do less for us?
00:21:19There are reporters, Kay.
00:21:21They're camped out on my street.
00:21:22You have to go past them to get inside.
00:21:23There's cameras everywhere.
00:21:24You know, the whole town's under a microscope.
00:21:27Reporters are gonna call you.
00:21:29They could bother Sammy.
00:21:31Let them call me.
00:21:32I'll answer whatever they ask.
00:21:33I'll tell them anyone who knows Scott Peterson believes in him.
00:21:39Come on, have a seat right here, Mr. Vignatti.
00:21:43How long have you known Lacy and Scott?
00:21:47My wife and I have known Lacy since we were kids.
00:21:50We used to play together on our dad's farm.
00:21:53Scott, we met when I started dating him.
00:21:56Friendly with Scott?
00:21:58Yeah. He's one of my best friends.
00:22:00So you don't buy into the speculation?
00:22:02If you knew him like I did, you wouldn't even ask.
00:22:05Scott loves Lacy.
00:22:06I've seen how they are with each other.
00:22:08I've seen how he is with my son.
00:22:10He's gonna be a wonderful father.
00:22:12You want to say anything about Lacy?
00:22:14The town's really rallying around her.
00:22:16Well, she, uh...
00:22:20To know Lacy is to love her.
00:22:22And everyone in Modesto knows her.
00:22:24So you're shocked at all this media attention?
00:22:27No.
00:22:28No? Why not?
00:22:31She's pregnant.
00:22:33She's gone missing on Christmas Eve.
00:22:35It's a nightmare.
00:22:36You good?
00:22:37Okay. It's gonna be just like that.
00:22:39You ready?
00:22:40Yeah.
00:22:41Okay.
00:22:42Yeah.
00:22:54Can I talk to you, Scott?
00:22:56Yeah, sure, Dennis.
00:22:57Let me just get rid of this guy.
00:22:59Why don't you wait inside? I'll be right in.
00:23:07All right.
00:23:37You have any idea what they were looking for?
00:23:57And that's all we know right now.
00:23:59Oh, but please...
00:24:00You know what?
00:24:01There's something I gotta take care of right now.
00:24:03Scott, any idea?
00:24:04I don't know.
00:24:05Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:24:06Hey, Scott!
00:24:11Mr. Peterson!
00:24:16Son of a bitch.
00:24:23He just drove off.
00:24:25Said, wait in the house, and drove off.
00:24:29She's my daughter.
00:24:31You think he just forgot I was inside?
00:24:36How many things does Scott have on his mind?
00:24:38How many things do I have?
00:24:40How many do you have?
00:24:43I got a friend.
00:24:44Tells me he's seen Scott out on the golf course.
00:24:48Saw him on the back nine, playing.
00:24:53He's playing golf?
00:24:54Dad.
00:24:55I mean, how does he afford a private country club, anyway?
00:24:57His parents have money.
00:24:59Scott's too proud to take handouts.
00:25:02Wasn't that the line?
00:25:03Scott's working three jobs to pay his way through college?
00:25:08I trust him.
00:25:17Hello.
00:25:18You'd feel better if you confess.
00:25:20Go to the police station and get this off your chest.
00:25:23Go to hell.
00:25:25Take them to Lacey.
00:25:26Show them where she is.
00:25:28Spare her family.
00:25:29I am her family.
00:25:31She's my wife.
00:25:33Why don't you spare me?
00:25:37You hear me?
00:25:41Hello?
00:26:02Hello?
00:26:03Hey, it's me.
00:26:04Hi.
00:26:06What's wrong? You sound funny.
00:26:08Um...
00:26:11I have to tell you something.
00:26:14I have to confess something.
00:26:19I lied.
00:26:23When I told you I'd never been married...
00:26:27I lied.
00:26:31I was married.
00:26:33Once.
00:26:36But my wife went missing.
00:26:40A year ago.
00:26:44And I lost her.
00:26:49I don't understand. What do you mean?
00:26:51She's gone. She's just... She's gone.
00:26:56Why would you not tell me this?
00:27:00I just don't want to talk about her.
00:27:06It hurts too much to talk about her.
00:27:10I want you to be able to tell me everything.
00:27:14I want to, Amber.
00:27:18I will. I will tell you.
00:27:21I will. I will. I'll tell you.
00:27:26Just not tonight, okay?
00:27:28I love you.
00:27:31I promise, Amber, I'll never lie to you again.
00:27:36I love you, too.
00:27:38Good night.
00:27:39Good night.
00:27:42Come here, babe. Let's get you ready for bed.
00:27:52Come on, let's go.
00:28:05What are they doing?
00:28:12Amazing grace
00:28:19How sweet the sound
00:28:25That saved a wretch like me
00:28:34The Roach and Peterson families have come together tonight with their extended family.
00:28:38Thousands have come here on New Year's Eve to pray for the safe return of Lacey Peterson.
00:28:44This local story is now rapidly grabbing the attention of California and the nation as a whole.
00:28:51Volunteers have arrived from across the region, donations from across the country.
00:28:56The reward fund has ballooned to $500,000.
00:29:00We can all see our own daughter, our own sister in the face of Lacey Peterson.
00:29:04That she is pregnant and missing since Christmas Eve makes this tragedy all that harder to bear.
00:29:10Her husband, Scott Peterson, has been consistently media shy.
00:29:15So far, police refuse to call Peterson a suspect.
00:29:21Listen to this one.
00:29:23We have prayers for Lacey in our hearts. We know she will be found alive and well.
00:29:27Goldsboro, North Carolina.
00:29:30Bridgewater, Massachusetts. My heart goes out to you.
00:29:32Whenever I see Lacey's face on the TV, I can't help but think of my own daughter.
00:29:37My thoughts and prayers are with you.
00:29:39Come on, guys.
00:29:41You're shooting for it. Get clean.
00:29:43These people signing on the website, they're from everywhere.
00:29:46Kate, seriously, come on. You haven't eaten since this morning.
00:29:49I'm fine, Mom.
00:29:51Don't worry. I went to the doctor yesterday.
00:29:54And?
00:29:56The baby's fine. The baby's just fine.
00:29:58I don't have to see her again until next month.
00:30:00Lacey's shower was supposed to be Saturday.
00:30:07We'll just have to do our showers together when she gets back.
00:30:22Donna, what was that?
00:30:24He asked how much his house was worth, okay?
00:30:26Who?
00:30:27Scott.
00:30:28He asked how much he could get for his house.
00:30:31That doesn't mean anything.
00:30:33Doesn't it?
00:30:35Why would he ask me that, huh?
00:30:37Why?
00:30:46What did he say, exactly?
00:30:48Oh, he said he doesn't want Lacey coming home to all this.
00:30:51All what?
00:30:53What sense does that make?
00:30:55What else is Lacey going to come home to?
00:30:56A new house. A new town.
00:30:58I don't know. Christ, Donna, think about it.
00:31:01What if she was taken out of the front yard?
00:31:03You'd want to come home to that?
00:31:05You'd want to relive that every time you went outside for the newspaper?
00:31:08Think about it.
00:31:09I have.
00:31:11Don't you think I've gone over every possible scenario?
00:31:14Maybe Scott is just protecting her.
00:31:16Maybe he knows she's not coming home.
00:31:26We're sorry we have to do this.
00:31:28We have to confirm your story.
00:31:30You think she's dead?
00:31:32You think that Scott...
00:31:35Do you think that he...
00:31:37We haven't cleared him yet.
00:31:39Yes, we think he killed her.
00:31:43I had no idea.
00:31:46I didn't know that he was married.
00:31:49We believe you, Amber.
00:31:51Could you tell them that?
00:31:54Could you tell that to her family?
00:31:56Tell them that I didn't know?
00:31:58Yes, of course. Of course, I promise.
00:32:00You did the right thing.
00:32:02You called us.
00:32:04I want to help them.
00:32:06Just tell me how. I'll do anything.
00:32:08Amber, how long did you know him?
00:32:11We met a couple of months ago.
00:32:15November.
00:32:17A friend introduced us at a party.
00:32:18No, it wasn't serious.
00:32:22I thought it was.
00:32:26I thought that he might be the one.
00:32:33I should have suspected something.
00:32:35I should have known.
00:32:37You're a victim in this.
00:32:39He lied to you.
00:32:41He was out of town all the time.
00:32:43Traveling. He'd be in Europe sometimes.
00:32:45In Mexico.
00:32:47But it was like he would lose track today
00:32:50of where he said he was the day before.
00:32:52Is this your daughter?
00:32:58Yeah, she really loves Scott.
00:33:01Amber.
00:33:03You say you'll do whatever you can to help us.
00:33:07So, Amber.
00:33:09Is Scott still calling you?
00:33:17Amy?
00:33:21Hey, Kate.
00:33:25I just needed to catch my breath.
00:33:28We're going to find her.
00:33:30You just have to keep telling yourself.
00:33:32I know, and I do.
00:33:35It's just, I have this picture of her in my head.
00:33:41I know.
00:33:42This picture of her in my head.
00:33:47You know, they went to the salon the night before.
00:33:54I know.
00:33:56I cut Scott's hair,
00:33:58but I couldn't stop looking at Lacey,
00:34:02and her belly,
00:34:05and thinking,
00:34:08I get to be there when Connor's born.
00:34:09I get to hold my nephew in the hospital,
00:34:13and I keep seeing her there,
00:34:17smiling,
00:34:20like she can't turn it off.
00:34:26She was happy,
00:34:29and safe.
00:34:33She was safe.
00:34:36She was.
00:34:37She was safe.
00:34:54We heard from a Fresno woman.
00:34:57She claimed she was romantically involved with Scott.
00:35:00No.
00:35:02We asked him about that.
00:35:04He said no.
00:35:05She passed the polygraph.
00:35:07She produced these.
00:35:20I'm going to be sick.
00:35:23Now we know why he didn't want to be on TV.
00:35:31That one guy back in 87,
00:35:32the fish picked away at him,
00:35:34survived, and wasn't anything left of him.
00:35:37Cops couldn't ID him.
00:35:40Donated him to science.
00:35:43They cut his T.R.
00:35:47Something wrong, Skip?
00:35:50I'm getting a picture here.
00:35:57What is that?
00:35:59Is that a body?
00:36:03Can you let us by?
00:36:05Excuse me.
00:36:07Please.
00:36:09We're coming.
00:36:17All right, it's about dinner.
00:36:22This is our club.
00:36:24They have wine of the month.
00:36:26It came today.
00:36:28I was going to open it, but...
00:36:29I figured I'd wait till she got back.
00:36:45Hello?
00:36:47What?
00:36:49Hey, no, I said I'm not...
00:36:51I'm not giving any more interviews, okay?
00:36:55What?
00:36:56Consistent with what?
00:37:07Authorities now say that Sonar
00:37:09pinpointed something in the waters
00:37:11off the Berkeley Marina
00:37:13that have refused to speculate
00:37:15as to what it was.
00:37:17A retrieval attempt will be made
00:37:19within 24 hours.
00:37:21They're not saying it's a body.
00:37:23They don't know if it's a body.
00:37:25They don't know if it's a body.
00:37:27In recent days, the investigation
00:37:29has focused its attention
00:37:31on the waters where Scott Peterson
00:37:33was known to be fishing on Christmas Eve.
00:37:37It's consistent.
00:37:39That's all he said.
00:37:41His shape is consistent with the body.
00:37:46Lacey Peterson has been missing
00:37:48since Christmas Eve.
00:37:50She was last seen...
00:37:52I kept asking myself,
00:37:54why that word?
00:37:57Why on earth would he use that word?
00:37:59Why would he say missing?
00:38:02Why wouldn't he say,
00:38:04Mom, Lacey's not home.
00:38:06I can't find her.
00:38:09He said missing
00:38:11like he'd fought it through.
00:38:15It's not her, Scott.
00:38:17Yeah, you gotta know that.
00:38:18I know.
00:38:23I'm gonna go
00:38:25down to L.A.,
00:38:27San Diego too,
00:38:29set up more searches.
00:38:32Good.
00:38:35Why so far south?
00:38:37Lacey's not in the bay,
00:38:39Tommy.
00:38:41She could be anywhere by now.
00:38:43I think I'm gonna
00:38:45stay down there a couple of days.
00:38:46Stay down there a couple of days
00:38:48and get away from the press.
00:38:50You can stay away from the press
00:38:52pretty good as is.
00:38:56A grieving mother is much better
00:38:58than a grieving husband, Tommy.
00:39:00Shit, Scott.
00:39:02You talk like that,
00:39:04you sound like people say you are.
00:39:06How do people say I am?
00:39:08Just how you come across,
00:39:10not talking to the media.
00:39:12How do I come across?
00:39:14Cold.
00:39:16I love you.
00:39:18It's all about me,
00:39:20trying to figure me out.
00:39:22So what?
00:39:24The media gets its ratings
00:39:26by making me guilty.
00:39:28They'll twist what I say
00:39:30and how I say it.
00:39:32The public will see, Scott.
00:39:34Let's see what we see.
00:39:36I can't cry on cue, Tommy.
00:39:39We've got nothing to say.
00:39:41Kate!
00:39:43Come on, Tommy.
00:39:45Come here.
00:39:48Let's get the guns back in the van.
00:39:50All right, I'll handle it.
00:39:59Yeah, let's go.
00:40:01The guy on the other side
00:40:03of the street.
00:40:11Stay here.
00:40:15He's worried.
00:40:17He's starting to feel trapped.
00:40:20Gonna run?
00:40:22Hope so.
00:40:24He runs.
00:40:26He's guilty.
00:40:28Well, we nail him,
00:40:30the press leaves town.
00:40:32They love this.
00:40:34Pretty white girl
00:40:36with good teeth,
00:40:38pregnant, Christmas Eve.
00:40:40Perfect.
00:40:41You're going down, Scotty.
00:40:44We don't know how long
00:40:46we expect to wait,
00:40:48but once they have a visual,
00:40:50the news should come quickly.
00:40:52Of course, if this does turn out
00:40:54to be a body,
00:40:56it may be ours before
00:40:58we receive confirmation.
00:41:00Okay, now wait a minute.
00:41:02We're hearing...
00:41:04What we're hearing is that
00:41:06they have not found a body.
00:41:08Not a body.
00:41:11No, they have not found a body,
00:41:13but it's a ship's anchor
00:41:15that they've found.
00:41:42Oh, hey, Brent.
00:41:44How are you?
00:41:46Did you hear?
00:41:48Yeah, it wasn't her.
00:41:50They found her.
00:41:52What's the matter?
00:41:54I'm gonna ask you one time, Scott.
00:41:56Did you cheat on Lacey?
00:41:59No.
00:42:01Brent, how would I...
00:42:03Amber Frye.
00:42:05I loved Lacey, Brent.
00:42:07You loved her?
00:42:10I love her,
00:42:13but I was unfaithful.
00:42:18I had an affair.
00:42:21I told her about it.
00:42:23You should have told us.
00:42:25Why didn't you?
00:42:27Why didn't you tell us?
00:42:29How's that look?
00:42:31I don't know.
00:42:32How's that look?
00:42:34How does it look now
00:42:36if I admit to having an affair?
00:42:38It looks worse, Scott.
00:42:40It looks worse if you lie.
00:42:53I would like to confirm
00:42:55that on January 16th,
00:42:57Scott Peterson did admit to me
00:42:59that he was having an affair
00:43:00with a Fresno woman.
00:43:02I confronted him with this allegation
00:43:04after viewing pictures of him
00:43:06with this woman.
00:43:08I met Scott Peterson on November 20th.
00:43:10I was introduced to him.
00:43:12I was told he was unmarried.
00:43:14Scott told me that he was not married.
00:43:17We did have a romantic relationship.
00:43:20I would like Scott to know
00:43:22that I trusted him
00:43:24and stood by him
00:43:26in the initial phases of my sister's...
00:43:27disappearance.
00:43:29When I discovered that he was involved
00:43:31in the Lacey Peterson disappearance case,
00:43:34I immediately contacted
00:43:36the Modesto Police Department.
00:43:38Lacey, the last month
00:43:40has been the most disturbing
00:43:42and emotional time of my life.
00:43:44As your older brother,
00:43:46I only wish
00:43:48that I had the opportunity
00:43:50to be there to defend you
00:43:52from the person that decided
00:43:54to take you away from me.
00:43:55Wherever you may be,
00:43:57I hope you know
00:43:59how much I love you
00:44:01and how important you are to me.
00:44:03My search for you will never end.
00:44:05I'm very sorry
00:44:07for Lacey's family
00:44:09and the pain that this has caused him.
00:44:11And I pray for her safe return as well.
00:44:13Since Scott is no longer
00:44:15communicating with anyone
00:44:17in Lacey's family,
00:44:19I am no longer supporting him.
00:44:21Scott has not been forthcoming
00:44:23with information regarding
00:44:25Lacey's disappearance.
00:44:27I'm only left to question
00:44:29what else he may be hiding from me.
00:44:35Hello?
00:44:38Hi.
00:44:40I've been trying to call you.
00:44:42I left messages.
00:44:44I called you back, Scott.
00:44:46Your voicemail was full.
00:44:48Yeah, the press keeps calling.
00:44:50I can't delete the messages fast enough.
00:44:52I had to take my phone off the hook
00:44:53for a couple of years.
00:44:55I'm sorry, Amber.
00:44:58I'm sorry you're going through this.
00:45:01I told the truth and...
00:45:03I had to tell the truth.
00:45:05That's good. It's good.
00:45:07I don't blame you, Amber.
00:45:09I'd never blame you.
00:45:12God.
00:45:14I'm in trouble.
00:45:17Why? You didn't do anything.
00:45:20Now, I can count
00:45:21on one hand the number of people
00:45:23who don't think I did.
00:45:28I love you, Amber.
00:45:32I love you, too.
00:45:36I have some...
00:45:38some jewelry that I'd like to give to you.
00:45:42You can't come over here, Scott.
00:45:44There's press all over the place.
00:45:46Scott, you can't come over here now.
00:45:48Look, I gotta go.
00:45:49Okay, but I'll call you later.
00:45:51Okay?
00:45:53Bye.
00:45:58Is that okay?
00:46:00Perfect.
00:46:02Did you know, Tommy?
00:46:04Did I know?
00:46:05Yeah.
00:46:06About that other woman?
00:46:08No, absolutely not.
00:46:10I've known Lacey since first grade.
00:46:12You think he put me in that kind of position?
00:46:14What about the position you put Lacey in?
00:46:16She thought she knew him.
00:46:17She thought as well as I think I know you.
00:46:19You do know me.
00:46:21I would never lie to you.
00:46:23I wouldn't know how to.
00:46:25Scott, no problem lying to Lacey,
00:46:27no problem lying to us,
00:46:29to his family, everybody he loved,
00:46:31and everybody who loved him, he lied to.
00:46:33We never asked him about other women.
00:46:35Jesus, Tommy.
00:46:37We shouldn't have to.
00:46:39You cannot defend this.
00:46:41I am not trying to.
00:46:43She is pregnant with his son,
00:46:45and he's out screwing...
00:46:47I'm trying to understand it.
00:46:49Would you just let me?
00:47:01Mr. Rocha,
00:47:04I can't believe you kids have had this place so long
00:47:06and I've never been.
00:47:08Lacey, would you like a beer?
00:47:10No.
00:47:12A glass of water.
00:47:14Okay.
00:47:18Sit down.
00:47:40I almost missed her wedding.
00:47:42You remember that?
00:47:44Yeah.
00:47:47I was working a job,
00:47:50working, and I almost missed it.
00:47:57I've been thinking about that
00:47:59all I've missed after...
00:48:01Mr. Rocha?
00:48:04Lacey's alive.
00:48:08She is alive, Mr. Rocha.
00:48:15If I'm going to represent you,
00:48:17you don't say another word to the police
00:48:20without me at your side ever again.
00:48:24I've made a lot of mistakes,
00:48:26Mr. Whitman,
00:48:28in my behavior,
00:48:30but I would never hurt my family.
00:48:32Scott, you don't know how to act
00:48:34in a situation like this.
00:48:36I mean, no one does.
00:48:38But that doesn't mean that you're guilty.
00:48:41No, the police sure think I am.
00:48:43Well,
00:48:45police work from percentages,
00:48:47not from this point to you.
00:48:50Of course they're going to charge him.
00:48:52It's a matter of time.
00:48:54I'm not even saying the guy's guilty.
00:48:56They could charge him for being such a callous prick,
00:48:58you know, for that alone.
00:49:01They teach innocent until proven guilty at journalism school,
00:49:04or is it the other way around?
00:49:06No, Tommy.
00:49:08You had it right the first way.
00:49:10Yeah, the way you've been reporting it, it's hard to tell.
00:49:12We report what we verify, Tommy.
00:49:14Where do you get off?
00:49:15My friends call me Tommy.
00:49:17You're not one of them.
00:49:19Scott is.
00:49:21You're goddamn right he is.
00:49:23I know him. You don't.
00:49:25He's a good man. A good man.
00:49:27Yeah, I'm sure Amber thinks so.
00:49:31He cheated on his wife.
00:49:33He didn't kill her.
00:49:35Have him take a polygraph.
00:49:37You know, you are making him out to be some cold-blooded monster.
00:49:39He's a victim, and they're going to charge him.
00:49:41Then why don't they do it?
00:49:42Because they have enough time.
00:49:44Why don't they do it?
00:49:46Because they want the money.
00:50:13How long have you known Scott Peterson?
00:50:15Back up. Back up. Let him through.
00:50:17Quick comment. Quick comment.
00:50:19Tell us what happened.
00:50:21Tommy, where are you?
00:50:23Tommy, could you tell us what happened?
00:50:43Ma'am? Ma'am?
00:50:46Have you spoken to the police yet?
00:50:48You never told them.
00:50:50They never came.
00:50:52I had to phone them myself.
00:50:58I'm sorry.
00:51:00I'm sorry.
00:51:02I'm sorry.
00:51:04I'm sorry.
00:51:06I'm sorry.
00:51:08I'm sorry.
00:51:10I'm sorry.
00:51:12I'm sorry.
00:51:16What's so important we had to meet out here on the street?
00:51:18Why didn't you follow up?
00:51:20You want to tell me what you're talking about?
00:51:22The woman who saw Lacey. I gave you that information weeks ago.
00:51:24You want to change your tone?
00:51:26Nobody followed up.
00:51:28Change your tone.
00:51:30Somebody saw Lacey doing exactly what Scott said,
00:51:32exactly what he said. That clears him.
00:51:34A lot of people say they saw Lacey.
00:51:36There are others?
00:51:38And they contradict one another. That's why we had to rule them out.
00:51:40All of them?
00:51:42Who says so?
00:51:44Look, we're not a bunch of amateurs here.
00:51:46We say so.
00:51:48People saw her.
00:51:50They're wrong.
00:51:52You can't peg him a killer on day one
00:51:54and then ignore evidence that proves he's not.
00:51:56That's not what's happening.
00:51:58We've received over 8,000 tips.
00:52:00We're going through them.
00:52:02Every last lead, one by one.
00:52:04Have you looked at anyone else?
00:52:06Tommy, we have questioned and cleared over 200 suspects.
00:52:08We can't clear Scott.
00:52:10I don't believe it, Frank.
00:52:12I know the guy. I know him.
00:52:14You don't. You do not.
00:52:16And the best advice I can give you
00:52:18is to turn your back on him.
00:52:20I don't turn my back on my friends.
00:52:24All right, look, I'm...
00:52:27I'm gonna give you a hypothetical here.
00:52:29What if I told you that we found Lacey's hair in his boat?
00:52:33What if I told you that we found a tarp
00:52:35and a loaded gun in his truck?
00:52:37What if I told you
00:52:38that the jewelry Scott gave to his girlfriend
00:52:40turns out to be Lacey's?
00:52:42What do you say then?
00:52:44I'd say none of it means anything,
00:52:46even if it is true.
00:52:48Not if people saw her,
00:52:50and you can't prove they didn't.
00:52:59Scott, how are you?
00:53:01I'm doing fine, Mom.
00:53:03Yeah.
00:53:05No, you don't have to come back up.
00:53:06No, I'll come down.
00:53:08No, I'll come to you.
00:53:10We're worried about you.
00:53:12Mom, I worry about you, okay?
00:53:14You're not supposed to worry about me.
00:53:16Have you seen Erosius?
00:53:18No.
00:53:20Brent, has he come by?
00:53:22No.
00:53:24Mom, tell Dad I'll call him later.
00:53:32What?
00:53:33You don't look well, Scott.
00:53:35You sleeping okay?
00:53:37My wife is missing.
00:53:39I don't sleep.
00:53:41Yeah.
00:53:43Yeah.
00:53:45Look, I'm gonna be straight with you, okay?
00:53:47We found blood in your truck
00:53:49and Lacey's hair in your boat.
00:53:51That's a lie.
00:53:53Really?
00:53:55Hmm.
00:53:57Where'd I start?
00:53:59The blood or the boat?
00:54:01It's all lies.
00:54:03It's a liar.
00:54:05You're making this harder on everyone involved.
00:54:07You realize that, right?
00:54:11Excuse me.
00:54:16I have a front door.
00:54:18You know, I can press charges for trespassing.
00:54:21They can't just walk into my backyard like that.
00:54:24They tried to scare you.
00:54:27I got a call from the DA's office, Scott.
00:54:30They're offering a deal.
00:54:33If you lead them to where the bodies are,
00:54:35they'll take the death penalty off the table.
00:54:38Death penalty?
00:54:41I didn't know that was on the table.
00:54:43Special circumstances apply here.
00:54:46They won't call me a suspect,
00:54:48but they want me to confess?
00:54:50That was the purpose of their visit.
00:54:52They figure if they put the fear of God in you,
00:54:55you might make their lives easier for them.
00:54:57Confess to something I didn't do.
00:55:00They want you scared.
00:55:01I'm scared, Mr. Whitman.
00:55:04I'm like an outcast.
00:55:06The whole country thinks that I murdered my wife, my son.
00:55:18That has to change.
00:55:20I have to change that.
00:55:23I think everybody sitting at home
00:55:25wants the answer to the same question.
00:55:27Did you murder your wife?
00:55:29No. No.
00:55:31It's just...
00:55:33And I had absolutely nothing to do with her disappearance.
00:55:38And you used the word murder.
00:55:43And...
00:55:45Yeah, that's a possibility.
00:55:49But it's not one we're ready to accept.
00:55:52And it creeps in my mind late at night,
00:55:56early in the morning,
00:55:58and during the day all weekend.
00:56:01And all I can think about is
00:56:03the right resolution is to find her.
00:56:07Well...
00:56:09But as you know, increasingly, in the public,
00:56:11suspicion has turned on you.
00:56:13Yes, definitely.
00:56:15Did you ever hit her?
00:56:17Did you ever injure her?
00:56:19No. No. My God, no.
00:56:22Violence against women is...
00:56:26unapproachable.
00:56:28It is the most disgusting act to me.
00:56:35And I'm aware that suspicion has turned to me.
00:56:39And it's turned to me,
00:56:41one, because I am her husband.
00:56:44And that's natural.
00:56:48And I've heard all the statistics
00:56:51on all the news programs
00:56:54about how someone, husband, ex-husband, boyfriend,
00:57:00is someone who statistically
00:57:04would be one who would be responsible
00:57:07for her disappearance.
00:57:10And...
00:57:13I'm sorry, I forgot your question.
00:57:24Yes?
00:57:26Ma'am, I have your daughter's car out here.
00:57:29You...
00:57:33Why do you have Lacey's car?
00:57:35What's wrong?
00:57:37Your son-in-law, Mr. Peterson,
00:57:39traded the car in at my dealership.
00:57:41He traded her car in?
00:57:44I just don't feel right
00:57:46making a profit from your...
00:57:49misfortune.
00:57:50Well, we could buy the car back from you.
00:57:53No, sir.
00:57:55I just want you to have your daughter's car, that's all.
00:57:58I don't want any money.
00:58:16I...
00:58:18I told Lacey
00:58:21I was having an affair.
00:58:25We were trying to work through it.
00:58:29She didn't tell me.
00:58:32She didn't tell her mom.
00:58:36She didn't want to ruin Christmas.
00:58:40You had no problem ruining hers, though, did you?
00:58:46I don't know why I did it.
00:58:48I don't know why you did it either, Scott.
00:58:51You married the most wonderful person in the world,
00:58:53and you risked that?
00:58:55I'm ashamed of it.
00:58:57You betrayed her.
00:58:59You hurt her. You should be ashamed.
00:59:01That's the least you should be.
00:59:03Kate.
00:59:07All I can do now is say I'm sorry.
00:59:13If there was anything else I could do, I would do it.
00:59:16I'm gonna go out of town again for a few days.
00:59:20I have a conference in Mexico.
00:59:23How many is a few?
00:59:26Three or four. A few.
00:59:29Do you know what day it is?
00:59:31I mean, do you even know what day is coming up?
00:59:33Yes. Kate, it's for work.
00:59:35You know what? Screw your work.
00:59:37Your work is finding Lacey and Connor.
00:59:40That is your work, Scott.
00:59:41I'm doing all I can.
00:59:43I don't know who the hell you are.
00:59:45I'm doing all I can.
00:59:48It'll look bad, Scott.
00:59:52Yeah, I know that.
00:59:54It'll look bad you not being there for her due date.
00:59:58What if they find her, Scott?
01:00:00She's out there. She's waiting.
01:00:02What are we supposed to tell her?
01:00:04Kate.
01:00:05What? Sorry, Lacey. Scott's in Mexico.
01:00:08He figured you'd understand.
01:00:10Kate, they've had divers in the water for weeks.
01:00:17You look underwater.
01:00:19You're looking for a body.
01:00:23Here we go.
01:00:25Come on. Take a look.
01:00:27Come on.
01:00:29Come on.
01:00:31Come on.
01:00:33Come on.
01:00:35Come on.
01:00:37Come on.
01:00:39How was Mexico, Scott?
01:00:41It was fine.
01:00:43What's going on?
01:00:45We have a few more things we're curious about.
01:00:47You guys have already been up and down the house.
01:00:50Read the warrant, Scott. I need your keys.
01:00:53I'm going to take your truck, too.
01:00:55You guys bringing back the Ford?
01:00:57I'm afraid not. Not yet, no.
01:00:59What the hell am I supposed to drive?
01:01:01You guys are killing me.
01:01:05We can't talk right now, guys.
01:01:06Sorry.
01:01:08Can we go in now, Amy?
01:01:10Come on. We'll be fine.
01:01:12You'll be okay.
01:01:23Bury it good.
01:01:25I don't want it falling off if it hits a pothole or something.
01:01:27Let go.
01:01:29He's pissed off as all hell.
01:01:31Did you tell him he'd have it back in a few hours?
01:01:34Nope.
01:01:37What? I'm supposed to play Mr. Nice Nice?
01:01:40Sometimes Gates, you're a real asshole.
01:01:43Yeah.
01:01:59What happened?
01:02:07I went by the house today.
01:02:09I was, um...
01:02:11I was just going to drive by and see if Scott was back.
01:02:15The police were there.
01:02:17Yeah, they checked the house again.
01:02:19I heard on the news I tried to call Scott.
01:02:24Amy was there, too. She was...
01:02:27She was waiting in the back of a police car.
01:02:31Did you talk to her?
01:02:33No.
01:02:34They waited for Scott to leave, and then they took her inside.
01:02:41Kate.
01:02:44What are you thinking?
01:02:49Amy saw Scott and Lacey at the salon the night before she...
01:02:52She disappeared.
01:02:55Yeah?
01:02:57What does that mean?
01:03:00The police brought her back.
01:03:02The police brought Amy there to find the clothes that Lacey had on that night.
01:03:07She came out of the house crying, Tommy.
01:03:11She couldn't find him.
01:03:14She couldn't find him, Tommy. She couldn't find him because Lacey died in them.
01:03:19Look, that could be...
01:03:21If we don't know, that could be anything.
01:03:23No! No! You know what? No.
01:03:25It couldn't be anything.
01:03:27This...
01:03:29It's...
01:03:31It's specific.
01:03:34He was closer in the bay with her.
01:03:51Scott.
01:03:54Hit.
01:03:57I'm not much in the mood for this.
01:03:59Come on, Tommy.
01:04:01It feels good.
01:04:07I should have gone golfing.
01:04:09What?
01:04:11I had tea time on Christmas Eve.
01:04:14I went fishing instead.
01:04:16Scott.
01:04:18Of course, if I'd gone golfing, played nine holes and Lacey had gone missing,
01:04:21then it'd be, what asshole goes golfing on Christmas Eve?
01:04:24It wasn't the holiday that bothered people.
01:04:27It was leaving her pregnant and alone, ready to deliver.
01:04:32Lacey wasn't worried.
01:04:34She was only at eight months.
01:04:40They measured her house today.
01:04:43My lawyer tells me that's because they think that Lacey died there.
01:04:47I don't know.
01:04:49I don't know.
01:04:50My lawyer tells me that's because they think that Lacey died there.
01:04:54In our house.
01:04:57They'll make all kinds of diagrams when they take me to trial.
01:05:05What are people saying in town?
01:05:11I'm in the kitchen.
01:05:13I don't hear.
01:05:15Press bothering you?
01:05:16They talk.
01:05:18I don't listen.
01:05:21You pay a penalty these days being friends with me.
01:05:25I don't know what I'd do without you and Kate.
01:05:29You and Lacey wouldn't do any less.
01:05:37You can ask, you know.
01:05:39Any questions you have.
01:05:42I appreciate that you don't, but...
01:05:44You can.
01:05:49Why don't you take the lie detector test?
01:05:51My lawyer advised me not to.
01:05:53You'll pass.
01:05:55I've got to prove something.
01:05:57Polygraphs can give you false positives.
01:05:59You're innocent.
01:06:01The machine says you're guilty.
01:06:14Why don't you talk about Connor?
01:06:21It's too painful.
01:06:25It's just too painful to talk about him.
01:06:26It's too painful to talk about him.
01:06:44Hey, Scott, John from KFI!
01:06:46What did you do with your wife?
01:06:49No one sees your story!
01:06:51You know where she is?
01:06:53Why don't you tell us where she is?
01:06:54You're not fooling anybody with your phony story!
01:06:58We just have one question.
01:07:00Where did you put your wife and baby?
01:07:02You're searching for the truth.
01:07:04Why don't you just come and talk to us and tell us the truth?
01:07:07Yeah.
01:07:09Scott, we found Connor's body in the bay.
01:07:11It's only a matter of time before we find Lacey.
01:07:25Dog barks.
01:07:27Dog barks.
01:07:29Dog barks.
01:07:53The remains were found two miles from the body of the infant discovered yesterday.
01:07:58Both bodies were found within miles of where Scott Peterson claimed he went fishing on Christmas Eve.
01:08:04The remains of a woman believed to be Lacey Peterson
01:08:07were discovered today just miles from her husband, Scott Peterson,
01:08:11claiming to have fished on the day of her discovery.
01:08:20Autopsies are being performed, but positive IDs will likely depend on DNA analysis.
01:08:26Why's that?
01:08:28Because the bodies were not able to lift fingerprints or check dental records.
01:08:32Fingerprints wear off in the water. Why not dental records?
01:08:36We'll update you as soon as we know more.
01:08:42They don't have her head.
01:08:46I miss you.
01:08:48Are you okay?
01:08:50I saw on the TV that...
01:08:52Can I come see you?
01:08:54Now? Right this minute?
01:08:56It's not a good idea.
01:08:58I need to be with you, Amber.
01:09:01The press will find you.
01:09:03I don't care.
01:09:05Scott, I know you're hurting.
01:09:07I want to see you too, but it will look bad for you.
01:09:11It can't look any worse.
01:09:13It doesn't matter.
01:09:19They found them.
01:09:26They found them.
01:09:29I don't know what I'm going to do.
01:09:34What am I going to do?
01:09:37Scott, do you have anything that you want to tell me?
01:09:42What do you mean?
01:09:44Should I be afraid?
01:09:46Should I be afraid of you?
01:09:48No, no, no, no, no.
01:09:50Please, don't even say that.
01:09:52Don't be afraid. That would kill me.
01:09:54Don't be afraid. That would kill me.
01:09:58You had nothing to do with this.
01:10:01No, I had nothing, nothing to do with it.
01:10:06Scott.
01:10:08I swear, I swear I had nothing to do with it.
01:10:13But I know who did.
01:10:15What?
01:10:17I can't tell you right now.
01:10:19But I will. I'll tell you when I see you.
01:10:22I promise.
01:10:24I promise I won't lie to you, Amber.
01:10:27I'll tell you.
01:10:30I'll tell you when I see you.
01:10:36I swear I had nothing to do with it, but I know who did.
01:10:40I know who did.
01:10:42What the hell does that mean?
01:10:44It means nothing. Bullshit.
01:10:46Scott bragging to his girlfriend.
01:10:50Let's see where he's going.
01:10:52You got to run over here.
01:10:54Where are you going, Scott?
01:10:56Turn around, Scott.
01:10:58Turn around.
01:11:00Are you running away?
01:11:02You don't have anything behind you.
01:11:04Give it. Give it.
01:11:06Come on. Come on.
01:11:08Come on, Scott.
01:11:22Fresno. Pulled off in Fresno.
01:11:25Shit. He's going to have us.
01:11:31What the hell are you doing?
01:11:33Getting the unit over to her place.
01:11:35Wait a minute.
01:11:37You heard Scott on the phone.
01:11:39I know who did it, and I'll tell you when I see you.
01:11:41Frank, we could be just minutes away from a confession.
01:11:44He could hurt her.
01:11:46He won't hurt her. No, he won't.
01:11:47He's not insane.
01:11:49We think he killed his wife and kid.
01:11:51Is that sane?
01:11:53I'm telling you, we're going to get the son of a bitch now.
01:11:55I'm not willing to risk her safety. Why are you?
01:11:57I'm not going to risk her safety.
01:11:59You are risking her safety right now.
01:12:01We're going to nail him. We're going to nail him now.
01:12:17Come on.
01:12:45They put a satellite tracker on your truck.
01:12:47That's how they found you.
01:12:50When is this going to end?
01:12:52Look, if they had the evidence to arrest you, they would.
01:12:54They don't. So take some comfort in that.
01:12:57Where's he going? Hey, why aren't you taking this thing off?
01:12:59He can't. He can't.
01:13:01Look, they had to get a warrant to do this.
01:13:03They did it legally.
01:13:05What? So I can't legally remove it?
01:13:07Just don't go near the crime scene.
01:13:10The police think I live in the crime scene.
01:13:13Scott.
01:13:18Go inside and get a juice box, okay?
01:13:20Mommy will be right in.
01:13:22Go inside. Shut the door.
01:13:24Hey.
01:13:26Tommy home?
01:13:28No.
01:13:30Is he going to be home later tonight?
01:13:32I don't know.
01:13:34Will you be here?
01:13:38Did you just tell Tommy I came by?
01:13:41I'm going out of town again.
01:13:43I won't see you guys for a while.
01:13:46Where are you going?
01:13:49Where would you go?
01:13:51The whole world thought you were a murderer.
01:13:54Depends.
01:13:57On what?
01:14:00If I was.
01:14:14No matter what happens, Kate,
01:14:16or what you think of me,
01:14:19just know that I wanted
01:14:21what you have.
01:14:41Kate?
01:14:43He ended up just sitting there in San Diego.
01:14:45Hadn't moved in 24 hours.
01:14:47He may be gone.
01:14:49Guy was in Mexico once already.
01:14:51He didn't run there.
01:14:53We haven't found the bodies yet.
01:14:55Phone San Diego.
01:14:57I want some live eyes on him down there.
01:14:59Why not pick him up?
01:15:01When we match the DNA,
01:15:03when we know for certain
01:15:05that it's Lacey and Connor,
01:15:07I'll put the cuffs on him myself.
01:15:11He said we wouldn't see him for a while.
01:15:13So bring him back.
01:15:15Prank him down McHenry.
01:15:17I think he was saying goodbye for good, Tommy.
01:15:19I think he's gonna run.
01:15:22He'd run if he killed her.
01:15:29If he was gonna run, he would have.
01:15:31If he was guilty, he would be in Mexico.
01:15:33Tommy, come on, please.
01:15:35He would have stayed the first time.
01:15:37He wouldn't have come back.
01:15:39Tommy, Lacey is dead.
01:15:41And Connor is dead.
01:15:43He killed them.
01:15:45No, it doesn't make any sense.
01:15:47Everything he's said and done has been suspect.
01:15:49Says who?
01:15:51How are you supposed to act
01:15:53when your wife goes missing?
01:15:55How are you supposed to act?
01:15:57Like a husband acts, Tommy.
01:15:59Like a father acts.
01:16:01I mean, come on.
01:16:03If I went missing, you would be crazy.
01:16:05You would go to the ends of the earth.
01:16:07You'd confess every sin
01:16:09that you'd ever committed.
01:16:11I've seen
01:16:13how he is with Sammy.
01:16:15Maybe she found out about the affair.
01:16:18Maybe she found out
01:16:20and she threatened to leave
01:16:22and maybe they fought.
01:16:24Maybe it was an accident.
01:16:26I don't know.
01:16:28People saw her that morning, Kate.
01:16:30The police talked to those people.
01:16:33Well, they ruled them out.
01:16:35Well, they saw Lacey, just like Scott said.
01:16:37They ruled them out, Tommy!
01:16:39Goddamn it, Kate!
01:16:41I saw...
01:16:44I saw him in the nursery.
01:16:50I helped...
01:16:53I helped him put that crib together.
01:16:58He wanted that baby.
01:17:14Does the chief want to wait
01:17:16on the final serology report?
01:17:18Yeah, if we wait for the final,
01:17:20we could lose a day.
01:17:22It'll leak if we wait.
01:17:24It will leak.
01:17:26Ross?
01:17:27Yeah?
01:17:29Dispose of it.
01:17:31Okay, thanks.
01:17:34Freeland matched.
01:17:36Lacey and Connor.
01:17:38We need to stop for gas.
01:17:41We're going to San Diego.
01:17:52Hold it right there!
01:17:55Scott Peterson, show us your hands!
01:17:57Show us your hands!
01:17:59Scott Peterson, show us your hands!
01:18:01Show us your hands!
01:18:12It was with the preliminary
01:18:14DNA report in hand
01:18:16that Modesta Police authorized
01:18:18the arrest of Scott Peterson.
01:18:20He was arrested in San Diego,
01:18:22a 30-mile sprint from the Mexican border,
01:18:24with his brother's I.D.
01:18:26and what has been reported as
01:18:28poisoning himself by dyeing
01:18:30his hair and beard.
01:18:32Modesta detectives are returning
01:18:34Peterson to the Stanislaus County Jail
01:18:36here in downtown Modesta
01:18:38to be held pending arraignment.
01:18:59Get out of the way!
01:19:00Get out of the way!
01:19:31On December 24, 2002,
01:19:33shortly after 5.15 p.m.,
01:19:35I received a phone call
01:19:37and heard the devastating words
01:19:39that would forever change my life.
01:19:41I'm so sorry.
01:19:43I'm so sorry.
01:19:45I'm so sorry.
01:19:47I'm so sorry.
01:19:49I'm so sorry.
01:19:51I'm so sorry.
01:19:53I'm so sorry.
01:19:55I'm so sorry.
01:19:57I'm so sorry.
01:19:58I'm so sorry.
01:20:00I'm so sorry.
01:20:07I knew in my heart
01:20:08something terrible had happened
01:20:09to my daughter and my grandson.
01:20:10My world collapsed around me.
01:20:13Since receiving the phone call,
01:20:16we've been living
01:20:17a terrible nightmare.
01:20:20I love my daughter so much.
01:20:22I miss her
01:20:24every minute of every day.
01:20:26No parent should ever have to think about the way their child was murdered.
01:20:33It's horrible.
01:20:54This is Tommy.
01:20:55And Kate.
01:20:56And Sammy.
01:20:57We're not here right now.
01:20:58We'll get back to you if you leave a message.
01:21:00Bye.
01:21:03Hey guys.
01:21:05Uh...
01:21:07Tommy.
01:21:08Scott.
01:21:11Uh...
01:21:12I just wanted to...
01:21:14tell you...
01:21:16I'm in jail.
01:21:18So, uh...
01:21:20I won't be able to talk to you guys...
01:21:22for a while.
01:21:26I'll try to call you...
01:21:28when I get a chance.
01:21:30And, uh...
01:21:55About three years ago at our grandmother's funeral...
01:22:19Lacey had mentioned to me...
01:22:22Well, you know, when I die...
01:22:26I don't want people to be sad.
01:22:30I don't want people to be missing me.
01:22:33I want people to be happy.
01:22:36So...
01:22:39I'm up here to convey that to everyone here.
01:22:43That Lacey would want us to have happiness in our hearts for her.
01:22:48And that we had the opportunity to know her.
01:22:51So...
01:23:22I love you.
01:23:23I love you.
01:23:24I love you.
01:23:25I love you.
01:23:26I love you.
01:23:27I love you.
01:23:28I love you.
01:23:29I love you.
01:23:30I love you.
01:23:31I love you.
01:23:32I love you.
01:23:33I love you.
