Episode 13: Scott & Laci Peterson (Burnt Van Investigation) - Vol. 02

Bryan Spitulski welcomes Shareen Anderson to the show for a discussion about the Scott & Laci Peterson case.

Laci Peterson of Modesto, California, went missing on December 24, 2002. Her husband, Scott Peterson, was later convicted of her murder on December 25, 2004. Shareen has directed and produced multiple documentaries examining the case—Trial By Fury (2016), The Murder of Laci Peterson (2017) for A&E/Hulu, and Face To Face With Scott Peterson (2024) for Peacock, in which she interviews Scott Peterson in prison. Across these projects, Shareen raises compelling questions about the official investigation.

Bryan’s connection to the case is personal and direct: in the early morning hours of December 25, 2002—one day after Laci disappeared—he was called to investigate a burning van in Modesto’s airport district. To this day, questions remain about whether that van was connected to Laci Peterson’s disappearance.

This episode is Volume 1 of a two-part conversation. Shareen is also an executive producer of the Playing With Fire podcast.
