The Double Life of Scott Peterson: Two Christmas Eves — Ep. 2 | MK Confidential

“MK Confidential” retraces what happened that Christmas Eve in 2002. Four police officers walk into a quiet Modesto home, drapes drawn, a Christmas tree surrounded by presents, and a nursery already stocked and awaiting a new baby. The woman who lives there is eight months pregnant, and missing. Her husband says he had gone fishing roughly ninety miles away. Megyn walks through that day, twice. First, the way Scott Peterson tells it to police, hour by hour, detail by detail. And second, the way investigators come to believe that day actually happened, using a mopped floor, a dog left on its leash, a stain on a comforter, and a reference to a cooking show that don't add up with Scott's timeline. Detectives end up with a list that pushes them toward a dark theory of how — they believe — Scott killed his wife Laci, got rid of her body, and tried to cover it up. This is Episode 2 of the Laci Peterson story.
