SCOTT Peterson’s former mistress has shared a glimpse into her new life more than two decades after she helped jail her ex for murdering his pregnant wife.

Laci, 27, was eight months pregnant with their first child at the time.
Four months later, her body washed up on the shore of a nearby beach. Her unborn son, who the couple was going to name Conner, was found a mile away.
Scott, who was 30 at the time, was arrested days later.
When Laci first disappeared, her husband had told police that he'd returned from a Christmas fishing trip in the San Francisco Bay to find an empty house.

“For the rest of our lives I think we could care for each other,” Peterson replied.

Rocha claimed that her son-in-law never wanted to become a father - and that she didn't trust him when she first met him.
“Laci was telling me all these things about Scott,” Rocha said in a trailer for the three-part series.
