00:00I remember before I met Scott, Lacey told me all these things about him and I
00:08remember saying, as her mother, I hope he's not filling her with crap. I have
00:16learned to go with the gut feeling.
00:23I've had missing person cases before but this one was bigger already.
00:28When Lacey met Scott, she was very giddy. They were just a cute couple. They acted
00:32like newlyweds. Scott wasn't engaging the media. We figured that eventually he
00:38would talk to us. We're at the police station and the phone rings. This lady
00:42tells me she's been dating Scott Peterson.
00:48So what do you want to be together with me?
00:54The cloud of suspicion over Scott was growing every day. Lacey believed that he
01:01was who he presented himself to be. He was getting ready to run. He had cell
01:07phones, credit cards. It was like a real-life soap opera happening in your
01:12living room. This was not somebody who was waiting for Lacey to come back.
01:18You guys haven't had any problems. Marriage problems. Everything's good.
