Laci Peterson’s Mom Reveals 1st Impression of Scott Peterson After Daughter Told Her About Him

Sharon Rocha, the mother of Laci Peterson, recently shared her initial impression of Scott Peterson, her daughter’s husband and convicted murderer, as she’s set to appear in the upcoming Netflix docuseries American Murder: Laci Peterson.

“I remember, before I met Scott, Laci was telling me all these things about him,” Sharon recalled in a trailer for the docuseries, released on Tuesday, August 6. “And I remember saying, as her mother, ‘I hope he’s not filling her with crap.'”

The matriarch has since changed her tune, telling producers, that she’s now “learned to go with her gut feeling.”

Laci was 27 years old when she disappeared on Christmas Eve 2002. At the time, she was eight months pregnant with the couple’s son, Connor. Initially, Scott assisted in the search for his missing wife, but he soon became the prime suspect after it was discovered he was having an affair with a woman named Amber Frey.
