Scott Peterson’s Sister-in-Law Believes He Is Innocent of Laci Peterson’s Murder

Scott Peterson’s Sister-in-Law Believes He Is Innocent of Laci Peterson’s Murder

As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in crime-solving mysteries and investigative games, I find myself captivated by the ongoing saga of Scott Peterson’s case. Having followed this story since its inception, I must say that Janey Peterson’s unwavering belief in her brother-in-law’s innocence is both intriguing and heart-wrenching.


Scott Peterson’s sister-in-law, Janey, maintains his innocence regarding the 2002 murders of Laci Peterson and their unborn son Conner. For the first time in 20 years, Scott will share his perspective in a Peacock documentary titled “Face to Face with Scott Peterson.” This series, premiering on August 20, 2024, features interviews with key figures involved in the case, including Janey Peterson. The three-part documentary aims to explore fresh insights into this famous case.

What has Scott Peterson’s sister-in-law Janey Peterson said about Laci’s murder?

Scott’s sister-in-law, Janey (wife of his elder brother Joe), has consistently maintained Scott Peterson’s innocence in the killings of Laci and their unborn son Conner. As reported by TODAY, Janey has been advocating for his innocence for close to two decades now. In her conversation with the outlet, she mentioned that she has known Scott since they were 13 years old and often keeps in touch with him. At present, Scott is serving a life sentence in Mule Creek State Prison.

In the interview, Janey Peterson suggested that previously disregarded evidence could establish Scott’s innocence. Specifically, she stated, “There was evidence suggesting that Laci was still alive after Scott had left for the day.” Janey is convinced that certain pieces of evidence may implicate several men connected to a nearby burglary in the crime. She speculates that Laci Peterson might have clashed with these individuals on the very morning she vanished.

During Scott Peterson’s trial back in 2004, I, as a burglar, vehemently denied any role in Laci’s tragic murder. However, things have taken an unexpected turn recently. The Los Angeles Innocence Project has taken up the case of this convicted murderer, looking into his plea for innocence. In a remarkable twist, a judge has allowed for new DNA testing on a piece of duct tape from the case, as reported by NBC News in May.

On August 14, 2024, Netflix is set to broadcast its new documentary series titled American Murder: Laci Peterson. Interestingly, this release is scheduled just a few days before another documentary about the same case, Face to Face with Scott Peterson, premieres on Peacock on August 20.
