#50: Did someone else murder Laci Peterson?

On Christmas Eve 2002, 27-year-old Laci Peterson, who was eight months pregnant, vanished into thin air. Her body was found months later in the San Francisco Bay. 

Laci's husband, Scott Peterson, was convicted on murder charges for killing Laci and their unborn son and was sentenced to life in prison. 

Now, the Los Angeles Innocence Project says new evidence may back Scott's claim that he didn't kill Laci. 

Also:

• Alec Baldwin is once again charged with manslaughter in the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
• A young man kills eight people, many of them relatives, in Illinois before dying in a confrontation with police in Texas. 
• The mother of a school shooter goes to trial for buying the gun that her son used to kill four fellow students. 
• A district attorney in Texas is having a grand jury investigate the Robb Elementary shooting after the Department of Justice issued a scathing report about the police response to the incident. 
• Donald Trump warns the Supreme Court of "bedlam" if it doesn't overturn the Colorado Supreme Court's decision to remove him from the state ballot.
