Prosecutors alleged Kathleen's cause of death to be homicide carried out by blunt force trauma, rather than an accidental fall. But in 2003, Peterson was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison according to the The News & Observer. Her husband told authorities that she must have fallen and that he wasn't in the house when it happened. Kathleen Peterson was found dead at the bottom of a staircase in the home she shared with Michael in 2001. Three new episodes will catch up with the central subject and his family, as they continue to fight a legal battle. On June 8, Netflix is releasing The Staircase, a docuseries about Peterson's trial that first aired in 2004. In the 15 years since their father first stood trial for the death of their mother, Michael Peterson's daughters Martha and Margaret Ratliff have made a point to live quiet lives out of the public eye.
