After appearing on American Murder on Netflix, this is where Amber Frey is now
She married after the trial, and released a book about Scott Peterson
Netflix true crime series American Murder is currently looking into the heartbreaking Laci Peterson case. Despite to this day claiming his innocence, her husband Scott Peterson has been jailed for killing her and their unborn son. One of the people who became pivotal in the evidence against Scott was Amber Frey, who came forward at the time to tell police she too had been dating him.
Laci Peterson’s case is widely called one of the most infamous in true crime history, after the seemingly happy and bubbly woman was reported missing on Christmas Eve of 2002, whilst eight months pregnant with her first child.
Amber Frey was interviewed in American Murder on Netflix, and spoke about how at the time, she had been dating Scott Peterson for a number of months. He had told her he was unmarried, and had recently “lost” his wife, alluding to her having passed away. He later admitted he had a wife, and that she was then missing person, Laci Peterson. Amber helped the police by wiring her phone calls to Scott, and sharing all the details of their relationship.
Amber was branded a “mistress” by some, but soon it was clear how pivotal she became in the evidence against Scott Peterson. Laci’s friends are also interviewed in the Netflix doc, and recalled how they thanked Amber for all she had done in the efforts to solve their friend’s case.
