A Most Selfish Act: The Murders of Laci and Conner Peterson

Laci Peterson was the subject of a highly publicized murder case after she went missing while eight months pregnant with her first child. She was reportedly last seen alive on December 24, 2002. Her husband, Scott Peterson, was later convicted of murder in the first degree for her death, and in the second degree for the death of their prenatal son, Conner. Perhaps the most notorious case of a husband killing his wife, there have been dozens of books and movies based on the Peterson case over the past 14 years. Join us as we discuss the public fascination with this case, the psychological disturbance which allowed a man to kill his wife and unborn child without regret or conscience, and the anguish left behind for those who loved Laci.
