Kathleen Peterson was found dead at the bottom of a staircase in her home in 2001. Her husband was the prime suspect.
, medical examiner Dr. Kenneth Snell had initially marked Kathleen's death as an"accident" caused by falling down the stairs. However, as Snell told jurors,"the seven wounds he observed while watching other forensic pathologists perform the autopsy were a major reason he changed his initial finding of 'accident' to homicide from a beating.".
What really happened in the Peterson household in the early hours of December 9 will likely always remain a mystery. However, HBO Max'sgives viewers the opportunity to reexamine the circumstances surrounding Kathleen's death, while also delving into Michael's trial.By the time Michael went to trial, Lestrade was already filming what would become his epic 13-episode documentary series.
,"Prosecutors introduced evidence of [Michael] Peterson’s bisexuality and attempts to hire a male prostitute," suggesting that an argument could have broken out between husband and wife over the revelation. A male escort even testified in court that he'd engaged in an email exchange with Michael mere months before Kathleen's death, with the pair planning to meet in person, via. However, that meeting never transpired, and it's unclear if Kathleen knew about her husband's sexuality or not. Upon seizing Michael's computer, investigators found as many as 2000 images of naked men, along with email exchanges between Michael and a male escort, via.
Another motive suggested by the prosecution hinged on the Peterson family's tenuous financial situation. While Michael was a novelist and newspaper columnist of varying success, Kathleen was an executive at communications firm Nortel, earning around $150,000 per year, via. But in spite of Kathleen's lucrative salary, the Peterson family had reportedly gotten itself into dire straits, with the matriarch fearing redundancy at her workplace.
