Scott Peterson, the man convicted of murdering his wife, Laci Peterson, and their unborn child, Conner, continues to assert his innocence, even as a new wave of documentaries revisits the high-profile case. Peacock's upcoming "Face to Face with Scott Peterson" will feature Peterson's first on-air comments in over 20 years, while Netflix's three-part docuseries, "American Murder: Laci Peterson," directed by Skye Borgman, is set to debut on August 14, ahead of the Peacock special. "American Murder: Laci Peterson" is a comprehensive review of the case that captivated the nation in the early 2000s. The series provides a platform for both sides of the argument concerning Scott Peterson's guilt, though it's challenging to watch without feeling the weight of the evidence against him. The documentary includes interviews with key players in the case, such as Laci's mother, Sharon Rocha, and friends Lori Heintz, Stacey Boyers, Rene Tomlinson, and Heather Adams. Scott's sister, Susan, and sister-in-law, Janey Peterson, also share their perspectives. Laci Peterson went missing on December 24, 2002, from her Modesto, California, home while she was eight months pregnant. Scott reported her disappearance after returning from what he claimed was a Christmas Eve fishing trip. His story quickly raised suspicions, particularly after he lied to a neighbor, stating he had been golfing that day. Furthermore, Scott's family was unaware of the boat he had recently purchased on December 9, which he claimed was meant to surprise his father-in-law. The documentary underscores Scott's unusual behavior in the aftermath of Laci's disappearance. He remained calm, unemotional, and avoided the press, contrasting sharply with the actions of Laci's loved ones, who immediately mobilized to search for her. Sharon Rocha and others describe how initial concern quickly turned to panic as they realized something was terribly wrong. Scott's inconsistent statements and strange actions—such as washing his clothes and eating pizza before notifying anyone of Laci's disappearance—added to the growing suspicion. According to the documentary, Scott's behavior was increasingly described as "odd," with his story about the days surrounding Laci's disappearance raising more questions than answers. A critical moment in the investigation came when Amber Frey, a woman with whom Scott had been having an affair, came forward. She revealed that Scott had told her he was single and later claimed his wife had died. Frey's account, along with secretly recorded phone calls between her and Scott, provided a possible motive for the crime—Scott's desire to escape his marriage to be with her. When Laci's body was discovered near Brooks Island, close to where Scott claimed he had been fishing on December 24, the prosecution believed they had sufficient evidence to go to trial. The subsequent legal proceedings attracted massive media attention, ultimately leading to Scott's conviction and a death penalty sentence. Jurors, including Greg Beratlis and Mike Belmessieri, noted that the verdict was not predetermined but based on the overwhelming evidence presented. Scott's family, including his sister and sister-in-law, continues to argue that he was wrongfully convicted. However, "American Murder: Laci Peterson" suggests that their claims lack substantiating evidence, with criminal investigative profiler Sharon Hagan stating that Scott's actions after Laci's disappearance indicated a "heartless disconnection" from the situation. Further damaging evidence included Scott's preparation for the alleged fishing trip, such as researching bay tides, obtaining a fishing license, and purchasing lures just days before Laci vanished. Additionally, Scott was arrested near the Mexican border with a car full of supplies and nearly $15,000 in cash, casting further doubt on his innocence. Despite these circumstances, Scott Peterson continues to insist on his innocence. As the nation awaits his upcoming interview on Peacock's "Face to Face with Scott Peterson," the case remains a haunting reminder of the tragedy that unfolded over two decades ago. Netflix's "American Murder: Laci Peterson" serves as a sobering retelling of the events that led to Scott's conviction, offering viewers a comprehensive yet chilling overview of a case that continues to evoke strong emotions.

Scott Peterson, the man convicted of murdering his wife, Laci Peterson, and their unborn child, Conner, continues to assert his innocence, even as a new wave of documentaries revisits the high-profile case. Peacock's upcoming "Face to Face with Scott Peterson" will feature Peterson's first on-air comments in over 20 years, while Netflix's three-part docuseries, "American Murder: Laci Peterson," directed by Skye Borgman, is set to debut on August 14, ahead of the Peacock special. "American Murder: Laci Peterson" is a comprehensive review of the case that captivated the nation in the early 2000s. The series provides a platform for both sides of the argument concerning Scott Peterson's guilt, though it's challenging to watch without feeling the weight of the evidence against him. The documentary includes interviews with key players in the case, such as Laci's mother, Sharon Rocha, and friends Lori Heintz, Stacey Boyers, Rene Tomlinson, and Heather Adams. Scott's sister, Susan, and sister-in-law, Janey Peterson, also share their perspectives. Laci Peterson went missing on December 24, 2002, from her Modesto, California, home while she was eight months pregnant. Scott reported her disappearance after returning from what he claimed was a Christmas Eve fishing trip. His story quickly raised suspicions, particularly after he lied to a neighbor, stating he had been golfing that day. Furthermore, Scott's family was unaware of the boat he had recently purchased on December 9, which he claimed was meant to surprise his father-in-law. The documentary underscores Scott's unusual behavior in the aftermath of Laci's disappearance. He remained calm, unemotional, and avoided the press, contrasting sharply with the actions of Laci's loved ones, who immediately mobilized to search for her. Sharon Rocha and others describe how initial concern quickly turned to panic as they realized something was terribly wrong. Scott's inconsistent statements and strange actions—such as washing his clothes and eating pizza before notifying anyone of Laci's disappearance—added to the growing suspicion. According to the documentary, Scott's behavior was increasingly described as "odd," with his story about the days surrounding Laci's disappearance raising more questions than answers. A critical moment in the investigation came when Amber Frey, a woman with whom Scott had been having an affair, came forward. She revealed that Scott had told her he was single and later claimed his wife had died. Frey's account, along with secretly recorded phone calls between her and Scott, provided a possible motive for the crime—Scott's desire to escape his marriage to be with her.

Dr. Heather Adams interviews Emily Armlin, #NISTS2023 Transfer Student Ambassador and recent graduate of Union College! Emily shares her transfer student story, discusses the challenges and highlights of her unique transfer experience, and touches on the ways small, private institutions can better support and grow their transfer communities.About Our GuestEmily Armlin is a recent graduate of Union College, where she studied biochemistry with minors in dance and psychology. After high school, she decided to enroll in a large flagship university but quickly realized that it was not the right environment for her at that time. Emily made the decision to move home and take classes at her local community college while looking for a better fit, and soon came across Union. Here she was able to find an incredible support network and community with endless opportunities, which allowed her to grow and continue to pursue all of her passions. During her time at Union, Emily served as a tour guide, transfer admissions ambassador, and orientation advisor for transfer students and helped develop new programming and resources for transfer students on campus. She really enjoyed helping new transfer students find their home at Union and sharing her experiences in hopes to provide the representation of different college pathways she wished she had seen while she was going through the transfer process. This coming fall Emily will be starting her PhD in biochemistry at the University of New Hampshire, as she continues to work towards her goal of a career in biomedical research.Connect with Emily on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram!Resources MentionedLearn more about Transfer at Union CollegeCheck out the Transfer Services offered at Hudson Valley Community CollegeLearn more about the annual NISTS conferenceFind the 2023 Transfer Ambassador winners announcement HEREMedia Recommendations: Sara Bareilles' More Love Album (on Spotify)Shoutouts: Emily's friends and family!#TransferLeadership #TransferAdvocacy #TransferVoiceAtTheTable #StudentStory #NISTSShow CreditsHost | Dr. Heather AdamsGuest | Emily ArmlinProducers | Sam Kaplan, Brandon RodríguezSound Editing | Abraham UriasKeep talking with Transfer Nation IG: @WeAreTransferNation TikTok: @TransferNation Twitter: @TransferPride FB Group: Transfer Nation Email: WeAreTransferNation@gmail.com Talk soon!#TransferPride #TransferSuccess #TransferChampion #TNTalks #TransferNation

This week I was excited to welcome Heather Adams to the show to discuss the many facets and benefits of both mentorship and becoming a mentor. Heather is the founder and CEO of Choice Media and Communications and host of the top-ranked podcast, Make Me Known. As a mentor too many Heather's experience and passion for elevating the women around her has inspired her to take women under her wing and usher them into the next phase of their careers.  Through one-on-one conversations and group settings, Heather relies on her experience, having played an instrumental role in launching more than 100 New York Times bestsellers and securing clients' coverage in a host of national and international media outlets.  In this conversation we talk about the value of both finding a mentor and the rewarding experience of being one. In addition we discuss some of the barriers that prevent people from seeking out mentorship and talk through some of the ways that virtual mentorship is connecting people to both coaching and information like never before.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Communications expert and CEO Heather Adams joins Blake to talk about her journey to becoming an entrepreneur and champion for women through her communications firm. Heather is passionate about empowering women with their gifts because there was a time where she never would've imagined that she would be an entrepreneur. Listen in as they talk about how her perspective changed from thinking there was only one seat at the table, to linking arms with other women and fighting for two.

My guest this week is Heather Adams, a boy mom, communications expert and CEO of Choice Media & Communications, a leading communications firm dedicated to providing clients in the entertainment and lifestyle space with quality communications services. Choice helps brands, influencers, and authors grow their business and influence by leveraging their unparalleled relationships and crafting smart, personalized communication and brand strategies that demand attention and deliver results. 4:37 – Heather 101 She grew up outside Atlanta, in Marietta, with an idyllic family. In high school, her yearbook advisor told her she had a gift for storytelling. So in college she studied communications and magazines. 11:25 – Layoffs Heather was leading a publicity team at a company, but the recession happened, and she was laid off. Her husband looked at her and said don't take your next step out of fear. Another company brought her on as a consultant, and she made double the money. She eventually started her own company. 22:40 – Passion for mentorship High school teachers believed in Heather and encouraged her to study communications. Her mission now is to mentor college women. There is so much power in linking arms with women and setting a wider table and allowing every seat to be occupied by a woman instead of fighting against each other for one. 29:20 – Supporting women Heather used to hustle to be the best, but she learned that other women's' success does not diminish her own opportunity. As a young girl, people told Heather she was bossy and needed to be quiet. But her parents celebrated her assertiveness. 37:20 – Mentoring If you are looking for a mentor, don't downplay virtual mentors. If you don't know someone personally, you can follow them on social media, read their books, listen to their podcasts, etc. Find someone you know who has an exceptional talent, and ask to learn from them, even if it's not work related. 46:26 – What's next? Heather has a conference for busy, working women. She's also working on her podcast, Make Me Known. 52:00 – Get to know you Guilty pleasures? Real Housewives, a face steamer and Trader Joe's peanut butter cups Favorite book genre? Thrilled mysteries FEATURED QUOTES There is so much power in linking arms with women and setting a wider table and allowing every seat to be occupied by a woman instead of us fighting against each other for one. I feel like that's my mission field, serving college women. https://www.choicemediacommunications.com/ Thank you to our partner of the show!
