Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Greece. Okay, I'm gonna tell you
0:15
Speaker 1: two words, and I don't want you to be afraid.
0:20
Speaker 1: Scott Peterson. There, I got it out. It kind of
0:24
Speaker 1: stuck in my throat like a chicken bone, but I
0:28
Speaker 1: did get it out. Why is it important? Because my
0:33
Speaker 1: friend and colleague Laura Ingle has just completed an incredible,
0:41
Speaker 1: incredible coverage of Scott Peterson. It's called The Reporter's Notebook,
0:47
Speaker 1: The Scott Peterson Case. It's now streaming on Fox Nation.
0:52
Speaker 1: And with me right now is Laura Ingle. Laura, thank
0:56
Speaker 1: you for being with us. Nancy, thank you so much.
1:00
Speaker 1: I mean, talk about timing. This is twenty years that
1:05
Speaker 1: Lacy Peterson went missing last Christmas December twenty fourth, two
1:10
Speaker 1: thousand and two. We are taking a look back, and
1:13
Speaker 1: as I was getting ready to come on your show,
1:15
Speaker 1: I was having the memory of being on TV with
1:19
Speaker 1: you in Modesto when Scott Peterson was just under suspicion
1:24
Speaker 1: at that point when he was about to have a
1:26
Speaker 1: preliminary hearing you and I on TV just about twenty
1:30
Speaker 1: years ago talking about this. You know what? I remember
1:33
Speaker 1: that too? Is it funny? Laura? You have covered so
1:36
Speaker 1: many cases, and you have an encyclopedic institutional memory of
1:43
Speaker 1: so much of it. In many cases, I can remember
1:47
Speaker 1: where I was at a certain moment when I learned
1:50
Speaker 1: a particular fact. The Scott Peterson case, from the very beginning,
1:56
Speaker 1: it was all wrong, the way he was acting, he
2:00
Speaker 1: was doing what he wasn't doing. But I remember distinctly,
2:05
Speaker 1: Laura Engele, I it was cold outside, and I was
2:09
Speaker 1: in New York, and I walked into the lobby of
2:13
Speaker 1: my apartment building and I was looking at emails, and
2:20
Speaker 1: somebody sent me before it was released, the picture of
2:24
Speaker 1: Scott Peterson with his paw on Amber Fry's reariend in
2:29
Speaker 1: that red satin dress. I'm like stop. I sat down
2:34
Speaker 1: right there and I started calling and emailing. I cannot
2:39
Speaker 1: believe this guy while his wife's feet are swollen up.
2:44
Speaker 1: Remember she had to go to her little Christmas party
2:46
Speaker 1: all by herself while he was out with Amber Fry,
2:50
Speaker 1: who thought he was single. Who thought this was Scott
2:52
Speaker 1: Peterson's first Christmas without his wife because he was a widow.
2:57
Speaker 1: I went bersark because there it was there was a
2:59
Speaker 1: smoking Yes, now tell me what you learned. So here's
3:05
Speaker 1: what we did. Nancy so This is you know, a
3:07
Speaker 1: twenty year look back when when you have an anniversary,
3:09
Speaker 1: as you will with something like this, the case this large,
3:14
Speaker 1: you know, we felt it was appropriate to just kind
3:16
Speaker 1: of stop for a second and look back at not
3:19
Speaker 1: only the case. Because I covered this case from beginning
3:23
Speaker 1: to end, I actually moved. I was a radio reporter
3:26
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, which we talked about in the special,
3:29
Speaker 1: and I was down in LA when the story broke
3:31
Speaker 1: and all those moments that you remember, right, you remember
3:34
Speaker 1: where you were. I remember hearing about a missing pregnant
3:38
Speaker 1: woman in Modesto. I'm from Sacramento, so this is very
3:40
Speaker 1: close to my hometown. And I went to my news
3:42
Speaker 1: director and I said, we've got to go cover this. Look,
3:44
Speaker 1: we need to help. That's always, you know, the badge
3:47
Speaker 1: of a reporter is that you can actually help. And
3:50
Speaker 1: with your shows too, that's why you do what you do.
3:52
Speaker 1: In part, you get these stories out there so you
3:55
Speaker 1: can help. You can put some exposure to a story,
3:58
Speaker 1: to something that's unsolved. Wanted to do that, so off
4:01
Speaker 1: we went up to Medesto when Scott Peterson was still
4:04
Speaker 1: you know, walking around here and there with a flyer y,
4:07
Speaker 1: you know, walking around. He kept to himself a lot
4:13
Speaker 1: lies to Amber. Go ahead, as as the story goes,
4:17
Speaker 1: and as the family will tell you. His family will
4:20
Speaker 1: tell you that everybody behaves differently, people grieve differently, so
4:27
Speaker 1: that that is something that we talked about in the special.
4:29
Speaker 1: I have actually just say that Jackie Saidney. Did she
4:32
Speaker 1: actually just say everybody gries differently? I think she did.
4:36
Speaker 1: Did you say and that's a quote? Okay, when we're
4:39
Speaker 1: quoting somebody grief being differently, I don't know does that
4:42
Speaker 1: include calling your mistress in lying about where you are,
4:44
Speaker 1: apportaining you're in Paris while you're really at your wife's
4:49
Speaker 1: vigil where you don't say anything because you don't want
4:52
Speaker 1: to be on TV and get caught. Right, So, so
4:56
Speaker 1: I spoke to and if you guys know the story,
4:58
Speaker 1: anybody listening or anybody that is digging into this for
5:01
Speaker 1: the first time, if you know this story, you know
5:04
Speaker 1: that Scott Peterson's sister in law, Janie, has been leading
5:08
Speaker 1: the charge for two decades now to try and exonerate
5:12
Speaker 1: her brother in law. That that family does believe that
5:16
Speaker 1: he did not do it. Obviously, police prosecution Juror's family
5:22
Speaker 1: on Lacy's side. I'll believe he did it and he has.
5:25
Speaker 1: You know, he was sentenced to death. His death sentence
5:27
Speaker 1: was overturned. He is serving life in prison without the
5:31
Speaker 1: possibility of parole. I went to his prison this actually
5:35
Speaker 1: during Christmas break. I was I was unable to get
5:41
Speaker 1: into Mule Creek State Prison. He's really being housed. Question
5:47
Speaker 1: miss Lady that he did now, sorry, go, So he's on.
5:55
Speaker 1: So what's interesting is he goes from San Quentin when
5:58
Speaker 1: his death sentence is over earned and that was that
6:02
Speaker 1: happened by the California Supreme Court twenty twenty one. His
6:05
Speaker 1: death sentence is overturned, so he goes to Mule Creek
6:08
Speaker 1: State Prison where he is now serving his life without roll.
6:13
Speaker 1: It's on a two it's on a two lane road
6:15
Speaker 1: in the middle of what used to be Gold Country.
6:18
Speaker 1: It's on this dusty two lane road by a town
6:22
Speaker 1: named Ione, and that is where he will be. But
6:26
Speaker 1: in the meantime, there are appeals, Nancy, we all know
6:30
Speaker 1: that is everybody listening knows that there is an appeal process.
6:34
Speaker 1: So that was one of the things we wanted to do.
6:37
Speaker 1: Let's talk about where we are now twenty years later. Yeah,
6:40
Speaker 1: because I wanted to break him, and I didn't want
6:42
Speaker 1: to interrupt you because I don't like lookbacks. I don't
6:44
Speaker 1: like to look back and what's already happened. I like
6:47
Speaker 1: to look forward. I like to be in the now
6:50
Speaker 1: and looking forward because I can't change a darn thing
6:53
Speaker 1: about what's already happened. I can't only learn from mistakes
6:57
Speaker 1: or learn from history. So I'm very, very curious about
7:02
Speaker 1: what Scott Peterson's family. And I gotta give credit to
7:06
Speaker 1: Jamie Peterson. She's never given up. I don't agree with
7:09
Speaker 1: anything she says, but she's loyal. She is loyal. So
7:14
Speaker 1: I gotta give Jamie Peterson that you know, and you
7:18
Speaker 1: will see in our special her evidence Room. I flew
7:21
Speaker 1: to San Diego to see her, and she did. I'm
7:24
Speaker 1: looking at you with her right now in her evidence room.
7:27
Speaker 1: I'm looking right at it. She's got these bulletin boards
7:30
Speaker 1: that she's put together, and she actually used to be
7:32
Speaker 1: just one. Now it expands to three different boards that
7:35
Speaker 1: circle the room, that go over every single minute of
7:39
Speaker 1: when Lacy was last heard from to the end of
7:43
Speaker 1: the story, and the burglary across the street, which she's
7:45
Speaker 1: still to this day believes and so got Peterson's family
7:49
Speaker 1: had something to do. I was Lacy's disappearent question the
7:53
Speaker 1: burglars that the cops spoke to and interviewed dose burglars.
7:58
Speaker 1: That's correct. Okay. Did you also, in addition to speaking
8:01
Speaker 1: to Jamie Peterson and seeing her war room as it were,
8:05
Speaker 1: did you speak to Al Brocchini, who worked the case
8:10
Speaker 1: for the state. I sure did, And you know, Nancy
8:13
Speaker 1: was so interesting because as somebody who sat in that
8:15
Speaker 1: courtroom every single day of this trial and the sentencing.
8:19
Speaker 1: And remember, I moved to Redwood City. I got an
8:23
Speaker 1: apartment and I moved in across the street from the
8:25
Speaker 1: courthouse in jail, so I could be there every single
8:28
Speaker 1: minute of this trial. And that's exactly what I did.
8:31
Speaker 1: And I never had a chance to talk to al
8:33
Speaker 1: Brocchini until It's a great guy opportunity he was. He
8:39
Speaker 1: was so kind to give us his time. He came
8:42
Speaker 1: and he met me for this special We went over everything,
8:46
Speaker 1: and but they're they're right. So I go and I
8:48
Speaker 1: talked to Jamie Peterson, who was convinced that the burglary
8:50
Speaker 1: had something to do with it, and so I spoke
8:53
Speaker 1: to out right say the Broker's killed or kidnapped Lacy.
8:59
Speaker 1: She believes that her something essentially, yes, essentially there is.
9:04
Speaker 1: Her theory is that these two guys, Stephen Todd and
9:08
Speaker 1: Glenn Pearce, who were arrested polygrafted, confessed to the burglary,
9:13
Speaker 1: served time, and had alibis confirmed. Um. She does still
9:18
Speaker 1: believe that they had something to do with it, because
9:20
Speaker 1: there were more than these two guys present. According to
9:25
Speaker 1: neighbor Diane Jackson, who drove by on the twenty fourth, said,
9:30
Speaker 1: I saw a van with several men and the safe
9:34
Speaker 1: was on the lawn. You know, this is before we
9:36
Speaker 1: know that Lacy is missing, Before anything happens, there's something
9:40
Speaker 1: else going on across the street. So there's a witness
9:43
Speaker 1: who says that there were other men there. Have you
9:45
Speaker 1: ever watched and that witched? I sure have. I didn't
9:50
Speaker 1: you know about Gladys Kravitz? Yes? Yeah, Okay, they think
9:57
Speaker 1: she sees things her right. Okay, So this woman says
10:04
Speaker 1: there were more than two burglars in the van, and therefore,
10:08
Speaker 1: what am I supposed? Let's follow that through, Laura Angle,
10:10
Speaker 1: you're the investigative reporter. Let's follow that through to its
10:14
Speaker 1: natural conclusion. So though, what am I supposed to believe?
10:17
Speaker 1: That they burrow are split up and some of them
10:21
Speaker 1: killed Lycy and some of them didn't. Well, there are
10:26
Speaker 1: questions she has, questions Jannie Peterson does about the investigative
10:31
Speaker 1: measures that were taken about this burglary, because remember when
10:35
Speaker 1: the guys get caught. The Medina, the Medina family, the
10:38
Speaker 1: family across the street, right the Medina's leave. The Medina's
10:43
Speaker 1: leave for Christmas Eve to go visit family. They leave
10:47
Speaker 1: at ten thirty am on December twenty fourth. They return
10:50
Speaker 1: at four twenty pm on December twenty six. They walk in,
10:54
Speaker 1: Holy cow, we've been we've been burglarized on All they
10:57
Speaker 1: have to do is walk across the street because the
11:00
Speaker 1: world is there across the street. At the Peterson's investigating
11:02
Speaker 1: Lassie's disappearance, they say, we have had our house has
11:05
Speaker 1: been hit. Everything is upside down. And then they do
11:09
Speaker 1: track down the burglars, and the burglars say, yeah, we did,
11:13
Speaker 1: we did the deed. On the twenty seven, They're like, well,
11:17
Speaker 1: that's not possible, because doesn't Diane Jackson, the neighbor report
11:22
Speaker 1: that she saw three men, three men only, not a gang,
11:27
Speaker 1: three men loading a safe into a van in front
11:30
Speaker 1: of the Medina home that morning Laci went missing. Isn't
11:33
Speaker 1: that her theory? Yes, that's correct. Dianne Jackson to demand
11:37
Speaker 1: three men and three men and cobs track down two guys.
11:41
Speaker 1: Is that correct, that's correct, and they confess to the burglary.
11:46
Speaker 1: They took a polygraph and the police say that they
11:50
Speaker 1: found alibis. Is that correct? That's correct? But there is
11:55
Speaker 1: where is this? There's a third person, maybe more. We
11:59
Speaker 1: don't know who else might have been in the van,
12:01
Speaker 1: a guy named Mark. There was an Indian male, a
12:04
Speaker 1: man with a six six six tattoo, possibly involved. Five
12:09
Speaker 1: suspects to arrest, that's the question. And then there's you know,
12:13
Speaker 1: not to get too deep in the weeds, but there's
12:16
Speaker 1: the story of a police lieutenant who was working at
12:21
Speaker 1: a jail who overheard a conversation of Stephen Todd allegedly
12:27
Speaker 1: that he had a conversation with a family member, and
12:29
Speaker 1: he tells somebody on the phone. According to this lieutenant,
12:33
Speaker 1: that he heard an inmate talking with his brother who
12:36
Speaker 1: said Lacy witnessed the break in. The theory is that
12:41
Speaker 1: she stumbles across the burglary. She maybe doesn't even confront them.
12:46
Speaker 1: She confronts them. She doesn't confront them, but she's there.
12:49
Speaker 1: They panic, they do something, and do something. Okay, why
12:56
Speaker 1: didn't they kill Diane Jackson? He was driving. He's use right.
13:05
Speaker 1: She's also a neighbor that they can find. But I
13:09
Speaker 1: write so, I don't know if you have it handy
13:11
Speaker 1: the detective Brocchini and I spoke to Detective Bueller about this.
13:15
Speaker 1: I asked ALBERKINI do you believe there is any chance
13:19
Speaker 1: anyway anyhow that burglary across the street had anything to do?
13:24
Speaker 1: Was there anything that was missed? If you have that sound,
13:27
Speaker 1: you can play that. You know what. As a matter
13:29
Speaker 1: of fact, Laura Engle, we do take a listen. Is
13:31
Speaker 1: there a chance that the burglary across the street from
13:34
Speaker 1: Scott Lucy's house had anything to do with her disappearance?
13:38
Speaker 1: No way, we'd know. They can't keep a secret. It
13:42
Speaker 1: ain't like that. Those guys they polygraphed, they confessed, they
13:47
Speaker 1: went to jail, They gave us all their info. We
13:50
Speaker 1: confirmed their alibis no chance that she came out to
13:53
Speaker 1: walk the dog, she saw what was going on, went
13:55
Speaker 1: over and said, hey, what are you guys doing? Confronted
13:58
Speaker 1: the burglars. She wasn't even there. She was already goneless guy.
14:04
Speaker 1: What don't you have to say to those who are
14:06
Speaker 1: out there currently, including Scott Peterson's family, who say that
14:12
Speaker 1: the Medina burglary was connected to the disappearance of Lacy.
14:16
Speaker 1: When it comes to the burglary, that was probably the
14:19
Speaker 1: most thoroughly investigated burglary that had ever been done at
14:22
Speaker 1: Medesto Police Department up to that point, Prime Stories with
14:39
Speaker 1: Nancy Grace. Is there a chance that the burglary across
14:44
Speaker 1: the street from scottan Lacy's house had anything to do
14:47
Speaker 1: with her disappearance? No way, we'd know. They can't keep
14:52
Speaker 1: a secret. It ain't like that. Those guys they polygraphed,
14:56
Speaker 1: they confessed, they went to jail, they gave us all
14:58
Speaker 1: their info. We confirmed their alibis no chance that she
15:02
Speaker 1: came out to walk the dog, she saw what was
15:05
Speaker 1: going on, went over and said, hey, what are you
15:07
Speaker 1: guys doing, confronted the burglars. She wasn't even there. She
15:12
Speaker 1: was already goneless guy. What don't you have to say
15:15
Speaker 1: to those who are out there currently, including Scott Peterson's family,
15:19
Speaker 1: who say that the Medina burglary was connected to the
15:25
Speaker 1: disappearance of Lacy. When it comes to the burglary, that
15:28
Speaker 1: was probably the most thoroughly investigated burglary that had ever
15:32
Speaker 1: been done at Modesto Police Department up to that point.
15:35
Speaker 1: Alic's hear more to my friend and colleague, Detective Brokenni
15:41
Speaker 1: and our cut four. I think she was killed on
15:46
Speaker 1: the twenty fourth in the morning, and I think it
15:48
Speaker 1: was a soft kill. If you look at her bed,
15:52
Speaker 1: he's either behind her or in front of her, bags
15:55
Speaker 1: her or just strangles her and she scratches them. He
15:59
Speaker 1: rolls her up in the blue tarp, puts her in
16:02
Speaker 1: the truck. Somebody sees him. Now he's got to put
16:05
Speaker 1: something else in the truck some umbrellas, make sure it's
16:08
Speaker 1: in a blue tarp, and then takes her to the shop.
16:12
Speaker 1: There ain't nobody there. It's an industrial area. There ain't
16:14
Speaker 1: houses around. Can I ask you a question, Laura Ingle,
16:18
Speaker 1: You've got so much more to tell me, guys, let
16:21
Speaker 1: me tell you again. This is called Reporters and Notebook,
16:23
Speaker 1: the Scott Peterson story or trial case. Thank you so,
16:32
Speaker 1: Reporter's notebook the Scott Peterson Case, And it's streaming on
16:36
Speaker 1: Fox Nation right now, and it's pretty incredible. And this
16:39
Speaker 1: is all Laura Ingle's idea and she has executed it incredibly.
16:46
Speaker 1: When you're talking to Janie Peterson and you're asking her
16:50
Speaker 1: about facts, what was her theory about why her brother
16:54
Speaker 1: in law, Scott Peterson places himself at the scene of
17:00
Speaker 1: the disposal of Lacy and Connor, his wife an unborn
17:04
Speaker 1: baby boy on the day they were dumb there and
17:07
Speaker 1: went missing the marina. Well, she said that he had
17:12
Speaker 1: this boat and he wanted to simply get it in
17:15
Speaker 1: the water and take it out for a spin. And
17:19
Speaker 1: that's really it. But what her point of contention is
17:22
Speaker 1: about the fact that they do you remember, I mean
17:25
Speaker 1: I remember so well the police coming out and saying,
17:27
Speaker 1: we need to verify Lacy Peterson's husband's alibi. Here's his truck,
17:33
Speaker 1: here's his boat. If anybody has seen the truck in
17:36
Speaker 1: the boat, please contact the Medesto Police Department, because he
17:39
Speaker 1: says he was there on the twenty fourth. Now, if
17:42
Speaker 1: you're Jamie Peterson and you're watching this and you're the
17:45
Speaker 1: Peterson family, you're thinking, well, they just gave away his alibi.
17:49
Speaker 1: So if somebody did have Lacy or the body. Then
17:53
Speaker 1: they've given away, you know, they've given a very easy
17:56
Speaker 1: way to frame this guy. But the body in the
17:59
Speaker 1: water where this guy said he was that day, Now,
18:03
Speaker 1: she had a very detailed timeline that we go over
18:05
Speaker 1: in our post. Okay, wait, wait, wait again again, Laura Ingle,
18:08
Speaker 1: you're going warp speed. Let's take what you just said.
18:12
Speaker 1: You're quoting Jamie Peterson, the sister in law, through to
18:15
Speaker 1: its logical conclusions. So what her theory is regarding the
18:21
Speaker 1: marina is that the real killer sees where cops have said, hey,
18:28
Speaker 1: if any of you know anything about this boat and
18:32
Speaker 1: this truck being at this marina, tell us. So her
18:37
Speaker 1: theory is that the real killer saw that and heard
18:40
Speaker 1: it and went wow, instead of burying her out in
18:43
Speaker 1: the woods, I'm going to go and risk getting caught
18:47
Speaker 1: and taking her body and I'm going to dump it
18:49
Speaker 1: at them righty, to make it look why he did it.
18:51
Speaker 1: Is that the theory that is one of the possible things. Okay,
18:56
Speaker 1: all right? Yes? And can I ask if you questioned
19:00
Speaker 1: Janie Peterson on her brother's clairvoyant abilities, telling that Amber
19:07
Speaker 1: Fry and this is well before Lacy was murdered, telling
19:11
Speaker 1: Amber Fry that this would be his first Christmas as
19:14
Speaker 1: a widower, and then we talked he was right, So
19:22
Speaker 1: you know that was listen. You know, we sat down
19:25
Speaker 1: and we talked about Thought Peterson's infidelity, and he can't
19:30
Speaker 1: defend that. I don't care he's sleeping with Laura Angele
19:34
Speaker 1: don't care. I care about him admitting that this would
19:40
Speaker 1: be the first Christmas that his wife was dead, and
19:43
Speaker 1: then lo and behold a few days later it was
19:47
Speaker 1: so he was clearly sleeping with whoever he can manage
19:51
Speaker 1: to convince it up in the bed with him. That's
19:54
Speaker 1: his problem. My question is about his clairvoyance. How did
19:57
Speaker 1: he somehow know look into his Chris Lacy would be
20:01
Speaker 1: dead by Christmas. Now, I'm going to say, I don't
20:05
Speaker 1: think he did say this was going to be my
20:07
Speaker 1: first Christmas without my wife. He did, in my interpretation
20:13
Speaker 1: of what he told Amber Fry, imply that she was dead.
20:18
Speaker 1: I don't know if he ever used the words she's
20:20
Speaker 1: dead and agreed and agreed and agreed. But the point
20:28
Speaker 1: is is that Janey can't defend that part. And she says,
20:31
Speaker 1: you know, my brother and my brother in law had
20:35
Speaker 1: a problem with women. Was sleeping with women and making
20:38
Speaker 1: up stories, and you know she can't defend that, but
20:42
Speaker 1: she says the lies that were told in regards to
20:46
Speaker 1: what his marital status was where you know, all of
20:49
Speaker 1: that can't be defended, but there are no lies when
20:52
Speaker 1: it comes to the murder. She said, there are a
20:55
Speaker 1: fair lies, but there's no murder lies. Time stories with
21:15
Speaker 1: Nancy Grace. Can I just give you a quote by
21:19
Speaker 1: Albrokenny that you interviewed in depth. According to Brokenny detective
21:27
Speaker 1: albro Kenny from a STPD Peterson tall Amber Fry quote,
21:31
Speaker 1: he had lost his wife and this would be his
21:33
Speaker 1: first holiday without his wife. The detective said he later
21:39
Speaker 1: learned Scott Peterson called Fry daily starting Christmas Day, the
21:43
Speaker 1: day after Lacy disappeared, his first holiday without his wife.
21:49
Speaker 1: That's from Brokenny. Two weeks before his wife was murdered,
21:54
Speaker 1: Scott Peterson told his mistress his wife was already dead
21:58
Speaker 1: and that he was about to spend his first Christmas
22:00
Speaker 1: without her, says the lead detective in the case. That
22:03
Speaker 1: was his testimony at trial, and I'm quoting that's what
22:07
Speaker 1: he said. Well, you're right, I'm just remembering the conversation.
22:13
Speaker 1: I had with Jennie. We didn't hear, we didn't talk
22:15
Speaker 1: about the word dead, but she did say that she
22:19
Speaker 1: just couldn't defend the affair part. But in terms of
22:23
Speaker 1: the murder, he didn't do it. You did an extensive investigation,
22:29
Speaker 1: and I don't want to call it an anniversary, but
22:33
Speaker 1: you're not just marking the time when Lacy left this
22:37
Speaker 1: earth and Peterson became a suspect and went to trial.
22:40
Speaker 1: You actually reinvestigate quite a bit of it yourself, hopefully
22:44
Speaker 1: putting some of the fires out that have arisen over time.
22:49
Speaker 1: What was your biggest takeaway? Laura? And guys, I'm talking
22:52
Speaker 1: to my friend and colleague Laura ingle On about her
22:56
Speaker 1: incredible new venture reporters know, but the Scott Peterson case
23:01
Speaker 1: is streaming right now on five station. I've seen it
23:04
Speaker 1: and I'm going to watch it again because there's so
23:06
Speaker 1: much information in it. I couldn't really digest it all
23:09
Speaker 1: at once. But what's your big takeaway, Laura? I think
23:14
Speaker 1: one of the big takeaways is the Lacy siding, the
23:19
Speaker 1: investigative measures, and I do believe that it is not
23:22
Speaker 1: just the Medesto Police Department, It was the Santa Claus
23:26
Speaker 1: County District Attorney's office as well. And there's this big,
23:29
Speaker 1: huge question where all the Lacey sidings followed up on
23:33
Speaker 1: where they all investigated. And there's this couple in Madesto.
23:37
Speaker 1: They still lived just a few blocks away from where
23:40
Speaker 1: Scott and Lacy Peterson lived on Covina. I went and
23:43
Speaker 1: spoke to them, Homer and Sue Maldonado. They claim that
23:47
Speaker 1: they spoke to the police. They called in a tip.
23:50
Speaker 1: He swears to this day, twenty years later, that he
23:53
Speaker 1: saw Lacy Peterson in the window of time. Asked thought
23:57
Speaker 1: Peterson had already left for the marina, and about in
24:00
Speaker 1: that there's this critical thirty minute window, right, so right
24:03
Speaker 1: around that time, he swears that he saw Lacy Peterson
24:06
Speaker 1: struggling with the dog away. Didn't they come forward at trial,
24:11
Speaker 1: did not testify it. Did Garrigus bring that up that
24:15
Speaker 1: witnesses saw her after Peterson took her away, took her
24:21
Speaker 1: bodie away. I don't even remember that they had like
24:25
Speaker 1: a pregnant person lineup they had incredibly, there were multiple
24:29
Speaker 1: pregnant women with dark hair with golden retrievers, one even
24:34
Speaker 1: with a name of Mackenzie, the same name as the
24:37
Speaker 1: Peterson all that fight, you know, and and this was
24:41
Speaker 1: somebody that worked for law enforcement and it had recently
24:44
Speaker 1: received threats. So could it be that Lacey was mistaken
24:47
Speaker 1: for that person that was investigated. And so when when
24:52
Speaker 1: some people say the Medespo police never called me back
24:55
Speaker 1: to Santa Claus County d and I asked Brocchini about that,
24:58
Speaker 1: he said, we had an entire team of Lacy Peterson's
25:01
Speaker 1: siding passports, if you will, of people that went around
25:05
Speaker 1: and followed up on those sidings. So Brocchini tells me
25:09
Speaker 1: that every Lacy's siding that was relevant was followed up on.
25:14
Speaker 1: Homer Maldonado, who I talked to, told me they never they,
25:18
Speaker 1: meaning police or any authority, came back and spoke to
25:21
Speaker 1: him and we talked about what he says he saw
25:23
Speaker 1: that morning. He says that he saw a woman with
25:26
Speaker 1: dark hair who matches Lacy's description perfectly, with the exact
25:30
Speaker 1: same dog, struggling with the dog. And that conversation is
25:34
Speaker 1: in our special Reporter's notebook, and that is that's been
25:38
Speaker 1: a big contention of were all of those sidings followed
25:42
Speaker 1: up on? Detends on who you talked to. Jamie will
25:45
Speaker 1: tell you they all were not. Brocchini will tell Detective
25:48
Speaker 1: Brocchini will tell you the ones. We had a team
25:51
Speaker 1: of people that were assigned to that. And Brocchini, you know,
25:53
Speaker 1: there were so many people that said throughout this trial
25:56
Speaker 1: that throughout this case an investigation that investigators rod in
26:00
Speaker 1: on Scott and we know that that happens, right, They
26:02
Speaker 1: always looked at the husband or the boyfriend first. And
26:05
Speaker 1: Brocchini told me, and he said it on the stand,
26:08
Speaker 1: he said, my job was to clear Scott. My job
26:11
Speaker 1: was we wanted to clear him so that we could
26:13
Speaker 1: move on, he said. And I just could never do that.
26:16
Speaker 1: I just couldn't get there. Guys with me is Laura Ingle.
