Cowardly Peterson had long insisted he had nothing to do with the deaths of Laci and their unborn son Conner, despite a mountain of damning evidence. But during their conversations, Peterson finally came clean, Soares told The ENQUIRER.

“I killed my wife — I killed the b---h,” Soares said Peterson told him. Soares said the two often shared secret drinking sprees, downing a potent jailhouse-brewed booze called “pruno,” made from fermented fruit.

“We were watching the television outside our cells when the news came on and there was an item about Laci,” recalled Soares. “We were already on our third or fourth glass of pruno when Scott suddenly blurted out, ‘I didn’t mean to do it, Jimbo. I swear to God. I didn’t mean to kill my wife.’ ”

During another heart-to-heart, Peterson whined how innocent Laci was to blame for his predicament! “It’s her fault I’m in this mess,” he complained. “I just snapped, and I hit her on the head with a club. I hated her. I never wanted to have kids … never," Soares recalled the killer saying.

"We were arguing and I finally snapped," said Peterson. "That’s why I hit her.” Shockingly, Peterson even begged Soares to complete a “special task” for him. “At first, he asked me to break into the home in Modesto he shared with Laci and take his golf clubs,” Soares said.

“Then he said I could pick them up when his parents were there. I said it sounded suspicious and wasn’t interested. That’s when I realized when he said he’d hit Laci with a ‘club,’ he meant a golf club!”

Yet another time, Peterson elaborated on the murder. “It was like he was bragging about it,” Soares told The ENQUIRER. “He said he’d swung his club and hit her on the neck, as well as her head. From what Scott was saying, I got the impression he had hit her more than once and that he had broken her neck.”

“She would get everything! I’d have to pay alimony and child support.” Peterson reported Laci missing on Christmas Eve 2002. Her headless torso washed ashore in San Francisco Bay four months later.
