Rivaling docu-series about the 2002 murder of Laci Peterson hopes to tell the complete story of the much-discussed case. Just a week after Peacock announced it will interview Scott Peterson for Face to Face , Netflix announced Tuesday that it will release a docu-series of its own, American Murder: Laci Peterson , out Aug. 14.
The Netflix doc, directed by Skye Borgman, seems to focus on Laci’s family and friends’ side of the story. Detectives and reporters discuss the pair’s relationship in depth and the media circus that ensued when Scott was arrested.
The trailer opens with an interview with an eye-grabbing declaration from Laci’s mother, Sharon Rocha: “I remember, before I met Scott, Laci telling me all things about him. I remember saying, as a mother, ‘I hope he’s not filling her with crap.’ I’ve learned to go for my gut feeling.”
The series even includes an interview with Scott’s mistress, Amber Frey, and features voice recordings from the time of their affair.
