The Scott Peterson case has never been short on controversy, but the newest filings from the Los Angeles Innocence Project may be the most explosive revelations yet. In this Hidden Killers investigation, Tony Brueski breaks down two seismic developments that could shake the foundation of one of America’s most famous murder convictions.

First: the alleged destruction of key evidence. According to internal Modesto Police logs cited in the LA Innocence Project’s 600-page petition, detectives met behind closed doors on May 6, 2003, to discuss discovery decisions. By the next day, two major items were reportedly marked for destruction:
• The videotaped interrogations of Medina-burglary suspects Steven Todd and Glenn Pierce
• The safe stolen from the Medina home, just yards from the Peterson residence

Within weeks, the petition claims, both were gone — no copies, no transcripts, no forensic testing. California law is clear: under Trombetta and Youngblood, intentional destruction of potentially exculpatory evidence can constitute a constitutional violation. If these allegations are accurate, the petition argues, this wasn’t a mistake. It was a turning point.

Then comes the second bombshell: the recantation of the very expert whose testimony jurors described as “the nail in the coffin.” Dr. Terry D’Vor now states that updated NIH and WHO fetal-growth data contradict his 2004 conclusions, showing baby Connor’s measurements were consistent with a January death — when Scott Peterson was already under round-the-clock surveillance. If modern science shifts the timeline, the prosecution’s central theory may not survive.

This episode unpacks the evidence, the science, and the law — and asks whether the case against Scott Peterson is structurally sound… or structurally broken.
