Netflix’s upcoming documentary series American Murder: Laci Peterson investigates the mysterious disappearance and murder of Laci Peterson. The documentary series delves deeper into the case, revealing details that were initially left unseen. Additionally, the series features interviews with Laci Peterson’s mother, Sharon Rocha, and her loved ones, who were devastated by her murder. But one of the most shocking revelations in the documentary comes when Laci’s husband, Scott Peterson, refuses to take a lie detector test to prove his innocence.

American Murder: Laci Peterson Reveals Laci Peterson's family reported her missing on December 24, 2002. They made the report after Scott Peterson called Laci's mother, Sharon Rocha, and several of her friends and told them that Laci was missing. After the news broke, the community helped the family search for her. Authorities then interviewed her husband, Scott Peterson. During the initial interview, he told investigators that Laci had been watching TV when he got up. She had planned to go shopping and walk their dog. In the meantime, Peterson decided to go fishing.

While detailing the day of the disappearance, the husband told police he had gone to Berkeley Marina, which is 90 miles from their home in Modesto, California. He even let the officer hear his phone call to Laci after fishing. After the first round of questioning, the officer asked if Scott would be willing to take the polygraph test. Scott hesitantly responded, "I am… definitely willing," but eventually denied taking the test after calling his father.
