I had never thought about that until I saw this video. I agree. Laci would have possibly left Scott if she found out about Amber. She most likely would have taken back her maiden name and named Connor that way, too. Scott Peterson deserves no acknowledgement!

I remember both of these cases like it was yesterday ! So tragic for both ! To think that Conner would be a 20 year old young man now. I can't believe that Scott's case will get a second look with all the evidence from the 1st trial. Mind boggling !!!

Yeah, I was watching the news this week and they kept saying there was new evidence, but they didn’t disclose what that evidence was. It’s just using that old theory that the burglars who were in the neighborhood, snatched her up and killed her. That has never been proven. By the way, I was working on this video before I heard about the innocence project taking the case.

Hi Jeff, This story of Laci and her unborn baby Conner hits home my Dad and I built a brick hearth for Dennis Rocha, Laci's father in the 80's with Laci and her brother playing around us Dennis was never the same after this event. Whom would be? Oh my dad built the brick columns that line the front of Burwood Cemetery. RIP Laci, Connor, Dad.

I will never forget her father bent over in anguish begging for her back. Just absolutely gut wrenching watching that press conference. The despair in Laci's parents faces. Love her parents. Can not imagine what Mrs. Rocha is going through. Will never forget Laci's big beautiful smile.

I remember Laci's mom screaming out addressing Scott. She stated divorce was always an option but not murder.

Although this happened over 20 years ago, it still both saddens and angers me.

I was a bailiff in San Mateo County when Scott's trial came through. Watching and listening to the case each day, I really did have my doubts about his guilt. That was until his defense attorney brought Scott's boat in to show the jury. After seeing the boat and the man made anchor's, that doubt left my mind. I think Scott's attorney felt the same way because, the boat and those anchor's were never received in evidence nor did the jury ever see them.

The house across the street from the Peterson's was robbed the week prior to Laci going missing and on the day Laci disappeared she was seen standing out in the road with her dog talking to a couple of latino men. They were seen standing next to a white van that fit the description of a van seen in the neighborhood during the time of the robbery. Laci's dog was later found the same day roaming the neighborhood on a leash. There's also a jail phone conversation recording from someone else discussing a robbery and a pregnant woman getting killed that was highly suspicious.

I lived over on Roble in the early 2k's and I had my run ins with the Peterson's. Typical neighborly things, Laci would walk the dog at the park or trails nearby and she was a sweet young woman a bit older than I was. Scott on the other hand was an asshole, bigshot salesman with a new truck, hitting up the bars, I'd see him at the range on Yosemite from time to time he was an arrogant prick who belonged at Donobys. I was at work when I heard the news she was missing, both me and my buddy George (he lived nearby on Miller) had a suspicion, but not until he was caught trying to run off to Mexico a few months later was our suspicion confirmed.

I know what you mean. about Scott. my husband had work for the M.P.D. many years ago and still had friends on the force. Scott was a suspect right away and you weren't the only ones to suspect him. my husbands friend asked how to tell if he had taken his boat to the bay. he told him to check the engine on his little boat for sea water residue and they found what they were looking for. it was a long horrific investigation and Miss Frey was very courageous to come forward and work with the police to gather more evidence.

I know one of the lead investigators in the Peterson case. He said he was interviewing Scott right after Laci's disappearance. He said Scott was contacting Amber during his interview. He told me Scott was one of the coldest sociopaths he had ever had to deal with.

I remember how initially Laci's family stood by Scott Peterson and grieved with him. But as things unfolded, they distanced themselves from him. Thank you for your informative videos, Jeff.

That's sort of like the Jeffrey Macdonald case in 1970. He killed his pregnant wife Collette,they had 2 little girls. ( Kimberly and Kristen) he murdered them too. Collette 's parents supported Jeffrey Macdonald at first too. Until things about their murderers didn't add up. Then Collette 's parents helped to put Jeffrey Macdonald behind bars. Where he still is to this day. Look it up, it's a very interesting story

This happened when I was like 12 and had just moved into the Modesto area from the Bay Area. I remember seeing her missing person sign posted everywhere we went. When I grew up, I knew kids who had said she was their substitute teacher. Thanks for covering! …especially now since the innocence project took Scott Peterson’s case.

Thank you for bringing these 2 young women's memories back. Time and new tragedies have a way of making us forget. ❤

I remember these stories very well, headlines for months.

Thank you, Jeff.....I had almost forgotten about Chandra Levy, so I appreciate the fact that you brought her horrible death back to my memory. Now, Laci, who can forget that horrible crime? It makes me sick that The Innocence Project is trying to prove that despicable Scott's innocence. Rest in Peace, Chandra, Laci, and Connor.......may your murderers never have Peace.

Very sad stories. I grew up in Modesto and moved away a long time ago. At the time of Laci’s disappearance my brother told me of once talking with Scott at Minnie’s and Scott complained non-stop about his wife. My brother told him if he was so unhappy to get a divorce. Unfortunately, my brother has since died and I have more questions for him. In the summer of 1972 I met Gary Condit who was at the time running for mayor of Ceres. What an asshole. Love your History Hunters videos!

Gary's house was down the street and their yard backed up to a local church. the press were out there in the church parking lot for weeks staking out the Condit's house.

Thanks Jeff. I had forgotten about Chandra Levy -- I lived through that time. Laci back in the news is heartbreaking. I would be pleased with your presentation if I were part of either woman's family, as well as the Attorney's. Lovely recognition of their lives.

Hi Jeff! Funny how history you post brings back so many memories for me. I remember both of those cases very well. Several things were uncanny in your video. You mentioned Downey High, I went there one year, then over to Beyer High. My Dad's brother lived 4 streets over from where Laci lived. In your video of the court room, I saw one of my cousins that was a sheriff working the court room. Finally, as you shot the Lakewood Cemetery scene, behind you, the tall pine trees in the distance, are the graves of my mom and dad. You sure hit home on that video. Such tragic events and you covered them well. Sorry those happened that you had them to cover.

Thank you for the memorial, I cannot believe it has been 20 years! I remember when this story became headline news. I think Laci's parents believed Scott's story at first, until her body was found. The story that her mother told about Scott not wanting children and Laci getting pregnant regardless, does shine a light on what was going on in that house. I wonder if Laci found out about Scott's affairs and thought having a baby would fix their problems? I do not know why someone like Scott would get married at all since he enjoyed sleeping around. Thank you for the video.

I went to high school with Chandra. We had an English class together. I didn't know her well, but I remember her face. It was quite surreal to see her in the news that year and on all those headlines. Quite a tragedy that these two people died so young.

I read earlier in the week that the Innocence Project was taking on Scott Peterson's case. It is my opinion they won't find anything that proves his innocence. The investigation back in 2002-2004 was very thorough and damning toward Peterson. Yes, a lot of circumstantial evidence, but a preponderance of it that no jury could come to any other conclusion other than guilty. How timely that you are doing this video about Laci and Conner. Thank you for bringing this history back to the forefront since there is interest in Peterson's case again. We must never forget Laci and Conner were the true victims....not Scott. Also...Chondra Levy...such a sad sad story. I actually did a 5K run in that very same park right around the time she came up missing but before she was declared so by her family. I can see how anybody could hide in the woods around the jogging trails there. After Chondra's case hit the 24 hour news cycle, I never went back to that park to jog ever again.

I appreciate how your loss would have kept you from focussing on these cases. My wife's father died the same day in Stanislaus County (from cancer) as the day that Laci was killed, assuming that she was murdered Dec. 24, 2002 and not the night before.

My brother lives in the neighborhood where Laci lived, and often walks his dog at that same nearby park. Such a sad story. I feel so bad for her parents. Like you, I will never be able to understand how a person can do what Scott Peterson did. As I recall, he never looked or acted like a grieving widower. I think there's a special place in hell reserved for people like that. At the time of the Chandra Levy case, the person who was my boss at the time lived just down the road from Gary Condit. She said it was horrible trying to get in and out of her driveway with all the newspeople there.

A very sad day for Modesto, you did a fine job of telling the public about the tragedies that occurred Jeff, many people not from our area may not be fully aware of the circumstances of these crimes. if they didn't know then, they know now.☹

Two agonizing cases. Was riveted to each when they occurred. Thank you for telling their stories. I remember watching Scott Peterson on a channel 2 interview and when it ended the camera froze on his face before it went to the next story. I will never forget the evil in his expression in that freeze frame. It was almost like he said ok the interview is over, (very sympathetic sob story), so now my true personna is back. It gave me the chills as somehow it came through that he was a very evil person and I positively KNEW he was guilty. I told my wife this at that time (I'm signed in on her KZread account). When the story about the innocence project showed the other day she reminded me of that moment. Very chilling! Thanks for yet another great posting Jeff. Thoroughly enjoy your content.

The cemetery where Laci and Connor are buried is beautiful and serenely peaceful. It is on River Road with an Escalon Address. The traffic sounds are alarming to me: I lived on River Road in Oakdale, a mile or two East of the cemetery.

Oh Jeff. This was the hardest story I've seen from you.---On a lighter note, I was happy to learn of Harve's ties to the community. My folks were in Aspen the summer of '65, at a summer seminar for teachers (what a magical time for this 14 y/o!), and we went to the old theater to see The Unsinkable Molly Brown (Leadville was just over the pass from Aspen), & I was in love with Harve's voice ever since. I own the record (used to know all the words by heart, I listened to that record so many times!). I still occasionally pull up the Call the Wind Maria just for the sheer glory of seeing him & listening to that haunting melody. It was a shock to see him age, & when I first saw him on an episode of Star Trek Voyager, it took me quite a few stumped minutes to figure out why that character looked and sounded familiar! And of course, don't forget his role in FARGO.

Wow, I would have thought the house might have been bulldozed. Couldn't imagine living in a house where something this awful happened. Such a sad story. I'm pretty sure he is guilty.

His girlfriend was the one who found him dead in the hallway. A neighbor,who heard the screams of the girlfriend and saw the body of the fireman, told me the story. I never had any bad vibes from the place, but I am pretty sure it was haunted. I did see a figure of a man with a white mist about him. I really wanted to buy the condo when the owner put it up for sale, but we could not agree on a price.
