Series director and co-executive producer Shareen Anderson has been investigating the infamous case for over a decade, exploring the possibility that Peterson might not be guilty. For the first time since 2003, Peterson is speaking on camera, sharing his side of the story and attempting to clear up misconceptions about what led to Laci’s death.

“They said that you killed Laci because you didn’t want to be married and you didn’t want to be a father,” the director tells Peterson during their on-camera chat from prison.

“That’s so offensive, so disgusting,” responds Peterson. “I certainly regret cheating on Laci, absolutely.” He pointed out that his adultery stemmed from being “childish, lacking self esteem,” and being “selfish” while “traveling somewhere, being lonely that night because I wasn’t at home and someone makes you feel good because they want to have sex with you.”

Face to Face presents alternate theories on what could have happened if Peterson didn’t murder his wife, including mentions of a burglary that occurred next door. “The burglars may have abducted and killed Laci,” notes Peterson’s former defense attorney Lara Yeretsian in the trailer . In addition to the interview with Peterson, the series features conversations with former Modesto Police Department lead detective Al Brocchini, detective Jon Buehler and former ABC News producer Mike Gudgell, among others.

Previously, the 2017 A&E docuseries The Murder of Laci Peterson delved into the possibility of Peterson being innocent, mentioning that police overlooked the burglary despite it coinciding with the day of Laci’s disappearance.

Face to Face With Scott Peterson starts streaming on Peacock on Tuesday.
