Summary
Jim and Laura continue to behaviorally and forensically deconstruct the movements, actions, inactions, and lies of Scott Peterson after the disappearance of his pregnant wife Laci Peterson. Why did he decide to go fishing in that particular spot 90 miles away from his home instead of the many closer water bodies, better suited to his boat? What do his many phone calls with Amber Frey, whom he was having an affair with, tell us about his state of mind leading up to and beyond the day he claims Laci “went missing”? Laura points out something many of Scott Peterson’s apologists miss when they excuse him as “not being an emotional guy”. So why does he break down sobbing to Amber and others when caught in a lie? Is this a tell tale sign of someone who knows exactly how to manipulate others? Join us. Listen, subscribe and share.
