The disappearance was covered in highly-publicized national media, including episodes of "America's Most Wanted." In April of 2003, remains of a woman and a fetus were found on a beach in the area of Richmond, California.

After a trial, Scott Peterson was found guilty of first-degree murder of Laci and second-degree murder of Conner. Originally sentenced to death, Scott's sentencing was overturned for a life sentence.
