I just saw a very creepy new "Forensic Files." In it, a woman is found dead with a plastic bag near her head. Her husband says she took sleeping pills, fell asleep, and must have accidentally pressed her face into the bag. (Right.)
Some freaky forensic work makes an image of her face appear on the bag in the shape it was pressed into, and the image makes it clear that she didn't simply fall onto the bag, she was suffocated with it.
The most Scott Peterson-esque parts of this case? The husband had a girlfriend, and they sent out invitations to their wedding two whole weeks before the current wife died. (They married less than two weeks after her murder, using the life insurance to pay for the wedding.)
Another creepy thing? 18 months before her murder, her husband broke both her kneecaps.
More creepy? He put their three-year-old (living) son into bed with his dead mother to further carry out the masquerade.
The ultimate creepy thing? He served only 15 years in Leavenworth, and while there conceived three sons with the new wife. He's now out and a free man.

There's an episode of CSI that uses that face on the bag thing. Totally freaky.
I think HBO already covered this one on Autopsy. That Dr. Baden is a genius!
