"a media storm revisited through its own footage"
This documentary revisits the 2002 disappearance of Laci Peterson, the pregnant woman whose case became a national media obsession and led to her husband Scott's murder conviction. Built entirely from archival news footage, police recordings, and interviews, it avoids reenactments in favor of a stripped-down, chronological retelling. The tone is somber and methodical rather than sensational, letting old footage and firsthand accounts do the work. It moves briskly across its short runtime, functioning more as a clear-eyed recap for those who remember the headlines than a deep investigative dive.
the way archival footage alone reconstructs a case many only remember in fragments.
you already know the case well and want new revelations rather than a clean recap.
