Scott Peterson, convicted in 2004 of killing his wife, Laci Peterson, and their unborn son, has never exactly flown under the radar. But the case that dominated cable news and morning shows in the 00s is once again inescapable, with two streaming docuseries that debuted this month.

Perhaps surprisingly, over their collective five hours of television, both series offer new material and insights into the disappearance, arrest and trial that were exhaustively covered as they happened and in the following years. But they take wildly opposing approaches in their focus: Peacocks Face to Face With Scott Peterson, which dropped Tuesday, trumpets itself as being the first time the convicted murderer has spoken on camera since before his 2003 arrest . In contrast, American Murder: Laci Peterson, which debuted last week and is currently the top-rated show on Netflix , turns the spotlight on his victim, who has been largely eclipsed in the countless news stories, documentaries and podcasts about a case that has fascinated the public for decades.

I just wanted her to be remembered as a person and not as a victim of murder, Laci Petersons mother, Sharon Rocha, said on American Murder.
