For 110 days, nobody could say where Laci Peterson was. Then, on two April days in 2003, the San Francisco Bay answered. Part 3 of our 5-part Scott Peterson series: the recovery and the arrest.Divers and sonar crews searched the waters off the Berkeley Marina all winter and found nothing — not on Laci's February 10 due date, not when police reclassified the case as a homicide on March 5. On April 13, 2003, a couple walking their dog found a baby boy on the Richmond shoreline. The next day, a jogger found a woman about a mile away at Point Isabel — a few miles north of the marina where Scott said he went fishing. On April 18, DNA confirmed Laci and Conner, and that same day detectives arrested Scott Peterson in La Jolla: hair dyed blond, about $15,000 in cash, four phones, two driver's licenses, and camping gear in his car. Prosecutors said flight. His family said golf. Part 4 — the trial — drops tomorrow.🔔 A new YS Crime episode drops every single day — SUBSCRIBE and turn on notifications.CHAPTERS0:00 Intro0:27 Cold Open: 110 Days of Silence1:09 The Winter Search of the Bay2:01 A Due Date With No Answer2:52 April 13: The Shoreline Discovery3:33 April 14: One Mile Apart4:21 DNA Answers: Laci and Conner5:12 The Same Day: An Arrest5:58 Arrested in La Jolla6:40 Flight Risk — or a Golf Trip?7:28 Arraigned: Not Guilty8:14 The Board Is Set for Trial9:06 Subscribe — Part 4 Tomorrow🎧 Can't watch?

He told the woman in Fresno he had lost his wife — two weeks before Laci Peterson was reported missing. Part 2 of our 5-part Scott Peterson series: the Amber Frey chapter.Amber Frey was a Fresno massage therapist and single mother who was introduced to Scott Peterson on November 20, 2002 and told he was unmarried. On December 9 he told her he had "lost" his wife — the same day he bought the fishing boat. On December 30, after recognizing him in the coverage of Laci's disappearance, Frey went to Modesto police herself and agreed to record his calls. Those recordings captured the New Year's Eve Paris lie — told while he stood at Laci's candlelight vigil — and the January 24, 2003 press conferences that changed the case. Laci was still missing.

Part 1 of our 5-part Scott Peterson series: the vanishing of Laci Peterson.Laci Peterson was 27 and eight months pregnant with a son, Conner, when she disappeared from her Modesto, California home on December 24, 2002.
