Sharon Rocha

Sharon Rocha is the mother of Laci Peterson. After the murder of her daughter and unborn grandson, she has campaigned for victim's rights and helped launch Laci and Conner's Law, which makes it a crime to harm a fetus during an attack on a pregnant woman. The law, specifically the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, was signed into law by President Bush in April 2004. She lives in California. She is the author of the memoir 'For Laci: A Mother's Story of Love, Loss, and Justice,' which details her daughter's life, disappearance, and the subsequent trial of her son-in-law, Scott Peterson. Rocha has been recognized for her advocacy, receiving the National Crime Victim Service Award in 2006. She also founded The Laci and Conner Search and Rescue Fund in memory of her daughter and grandson.
