#27: The Murder of Reeva Steenkamp and Sentencing of Oscar Pistorius

Today we are joined by Retired FBI agent Bobby Chacon, who led the dive team searching for the rest of Laci Peterson’s remains in east San Francisco Bay, after her torso was discovered on the shore. Bobby recounts in deep detail what it was like on the ground during the search, his observations about the site and what he thinks happened to Laci and Conner. Bobby describes the autopsy photos he viewed himself of Laci and Conner taken both at the site where they were recovered, and also at the lab during the autopsy. His experience with previous water recoveries (like the tragic TWA Flight 800 wreck) are very important and give greater context to this case. He also drops a bombshell that we’ve never heard about the case regarding a witness who observed Scott Peterson on the water that day. TRIGGER WARNING: Our discussion today contains graphic details of human remains recoveries, please exercise care when listening. #LaciPeterson #ConnerPeterson #BobbyChacon #Interview #UnderwaterRecovery #AutopsyPhotos #realcrimeprofile #ExpertAnalysis #RealCrimeProfile #RealCriminalMinds #FBI #NewScotlandYard #Profilers #criminal #BehaviorMatters #murder #premeditation #Femicide #podcast #TrueCrime #Modesto #BerkelyPier #Investigate #AnalysisSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For more than three and a half decades, the disappearance of 12-year-old Jonelle Matthews was a mystery – a riddle neither authorities nor her family members could solve. The residents of her cloistered Colorado hometown had scoured every inch of prairie. Jonelle’s face had been on milk cartons nationwide. Even the President of the United States had appealed to the public for help. Still, every lead had fizzled. Every person of interest had turned out to be a dead end. Then, in 2019, Jonelle’s remains were unearthed near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. With the discovery came a troubling new question: Had the truth been hiding in plain sight the entire time? Was the man who couldn’t stop obsessing over Jonelle’s disappearance also the person who took her? From Campside Media and Wondery comes season two of SUSPECT. Former CNN reporter Ashley Fantz and executive producers Matthew Shaer and Eric Benson (Suspect, Over My Dead Body) dig into one of the most mind-bending cold cases in modern history, in an attempt to separate fact and fiction, compulsion from guilt, and true-crime fandom from a motive for murder.Hey Prime Members, you can binge all 6 episodes of SUSPECT: Vanished in the Snow ad-free on Amazon Music.

Jim and Laura continue to behaviorally and forensically deconstruct the movements, actions, inactions, and lies of Scott Peterson after the disappearance of his pregnant wife Laci Peterson. Why did he decide to go fishing in that particular spot 90 miles away from his home instead of the many closer water bodies, better suited to his boat? What do his many phone calls with Amber Frey, whom he was having an affair with, tell us about his state of mind leading up to and beyond the day he claims Laci “went missing”? Laura points out something many of Scott Peterson’s apologists miss when they excuse him as “not being an emotional guy”. So why does he break down sobbing to Amber and others when caught in a lie? Is this a tell tale sign of someone who knows exactly how to manipulate others? Join us.

We continue our analysis of Scott Peterson’s behavior before and after Laci Peterson went missing on Christmas Eve 2002. We discuss the book “For Laci” that Laci’s mother, Sharon Rocha wrote which gives a lot of insight about that time. Sharon specifically writes about Laci’s pregnancy and Scott’s disinterest bordering on avoidance of becoming a new father. Laura and Jim explain the risk factors that pregnant women face from their intimate partners. #LaciPeterson #ConnerPeterson #ForLaci #SharonRocha #Femicide #Pregnancy #AtRisk *************** SUPPORT OUR OTHER SHOWS ***************CRIME ANALYST PODCAST - You’re interested in real crime?

We continue tracking through what happened on December 24th, 2002, the day that Laci Peterson went missing. Jim and Laura take special note of Scott Peterson's behavior that day, his actions as well as his lack of action.

We continue our step-by-step analysis of Laci Peterson’s victimology, the timeline and Scott Peterson’s behavior leading up to the day of her disappearance on December 24th 2002. When there are competing narratives about what happened and why it happened, Jim and Laura connect the dots and flag what is most important. As a domestic abuse and coercive control expert, Laura highlights that pregnancy and separation are high risk factors for serious harm and femicide and Jim gives us his take on other aspects of staging in this crime. #LaciPeterson #HerNameWasLaciPeterson #HisNameWasConnerPeterson #RealCrimeProfile #TrueCrime #ExpertAnalysis #Victimology #BehaviorMatters #doublehomicide #coercivecontrol #highriskCRIME ANALYST PODCAST - You’re interested in real crime?
