Police Sergeant's Wife Goes Missing
Husband's History May Present Clues


POSTED: 6:02 am CDT October 30, 2007
UPDATED: 11:26 am CDT October 30, 2007


BOLINGBROOK, Ill. -- State Police are searching for the wife of a southwest suburban Bolingbrook police sergeant.

"Because he's one of our officers, we thought it would be better to have an independent agency investigating," Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar said of the state's involvement in the disappearance of Stacey Peterson.

It was not clear how long Peterson, the 23-year-old wife of Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, has been missing. Illinois State Police Trooper Mark Dorencz at first declined to comment on the matter, but later said the state is handling the case as a missing persons investigation.

The Bolingbrook police department said Drew Peterson was not scheduled to work Monday. A message left for him at the department went unreturned.


According to an Illinois State Police news release -- which spelled her name Stacy Ann Peterson -- she was last heard from at 10 a.m. Sunday. She was supposed to help a friend do some painting, but never showed up.

Stacy Peterson is described as a white female, 5-feet 2-inches tall, about 100 pounds, with brown hair and eyes. She was last seen wearing a red jogging suit. She has a tattoo of a blue and yellow carnation on the small of her back and a scar across her stomach, the release said.

According to the release, Stacy Peterson frequents Joliet Junior College and her family reported her missing at 4 a.m. Monday.

Drew Peterson's previous wife, 40-year-old Kathleen Savio, was found dead in the dry bathtub of her Pheasant Chase home in March 2004. Drew Peterson and Savio were divorced and he was returning their two sons to their home after a weekend visit, but no one answered the locked door.

Peterson went to a neighbor's to call a locksmith. Once entry was gained, the neighbor went inside and found Savio's body in a waterless bathtub.

The investigation revealed Savio drowned. Her fingertips showed pruning from being submerged in water and her hair was wet when she was found. While there was no water in the bathtub, it may have drained out over time, as the plug was down, investigators speculated.

A coroner's jury ruled the death accidental. State Police investigated that case as well. No charges were filed.

According to one official, Savio was Drew Peterson's third wife, and Stacey Peterson is his fourth.

More than 20 years ago, Drew Peterson was fired from the Bolingbrook Police Department after the village board of police and fire commissioners found him guilty of disobedience, conducting a self-assigned investigation, failure to report a bribe immediately and official misconduct. He had been indicted two months earlier on charges of official misconduct and failure to report a bribe. Peterson was working under the auspices of the Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad at the time. Indictments alleged he solicited drugs in exchange for information about his agency.

The charges later were dropped. Special prosecutor Raymond Bolden said at the time that the charges were not provable.

Drew Peterson won reinstatement with the department in March 1986. Judge Edwin Grabiec ruled police and fire commissioners lacked sufficient evidence to find Peterson guilty of the charges.

Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to call ISP Joliet District at 815-726-6377.

Yes, I agree about the hubby...but it seems odd to me... still may be a connection. Not impossible, but probably not, but maybe...

Bolingbrook Police Sergeant's Wife Disappears
Sergeant's Previous Wife Died In '04, Case Ruled Accidental


BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) ― State police are searching for the wife of a southwest suburban Bolingbrook police sergeant. The young mother went missing from her Bolingbrook home sometime after Sunday morning.

When family members last talked to the 23-year-old Peterson Sunday, they agreed to meet that day to paint a house. She never showed up and her sister filed a missing person report because she never went a day without talking to Peterson, who is a mother of two small children.

"Because he's one of our officers, we thought it would be better to have an independent agency investigating," Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar said of the state's involvement in the disappearance of Stacy Peterson.

Cassandra Cales, Peterson's sister, believes there is no possibility she walked away.

"If she did, she'd call," Cales said. "She knows my number. She has it memorized."

Peterson was studying to be a registered nurse assistant. Her husband, 53-year-old Drew Peterson, is a patrol sergeant with the Bolingbrook police.

Cales said Drew Peterson told her he did not know where Stacy Peterson was.

"She left, left him and wasn't coming back, taking a vacation," Cales said. "But I don't believe she would leave the kids."

The couple has two toddlers, 4-year-old Anthony and 2-year-old Lacy. Two older boys by a previous marriage live with the family.

The mother of those boys, 40-year old Kathleen Savio, died mysteriously in 2004 in her house in the same neighborhood. Savio was found dead in the dry bathtub of her Pheasant Chase home in March 2004. Drew Peterson and Savio were divorced and he was returning their two sons to their home after a weekend visit, but no one answered the locked door.

Peterson went to a neighbor's to call a locksmith. Once entry was gained, the neighbor went inside and found Savio's body in a waterless bathtub.

The investigation revealed Savio drowned. Her fingertips showed pruning from being submerged in water and her hair was wet when she was found. While there was no water in the bathtub, it may have drained out over time, as the plug was down, investigators speculated.

A coroner's jury ruled the death accidental. State Police investigated that case as well. No charges were filed. Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow has asked to re-examine the Savio case. She was Peterson's third wife. Stacy Peterson is his fourth wife.

A person who answered the Petersons' door declined to talk to CBS 2 Tuesday afternoon, but Sgt. Peterson has talked to police.

"He's cooperating fully with the investigation," said Lt. Ken Teppel of the Bolingbrook police. "The Illinois state investigation, I know the chief has spoken to him several times."

Stacy Peterson's family is offering a $20,000 reward for information about Stacy. Sgt. Peterson is taking personal time off from his job.

Stacy Peterson is described as a 5-foot-2-inches, 100 pound, white female with brown hair and eyes. She was last seen wearing a red jogging suit. She has a tattoo of a blue and yellow carnation on the small of her back and a scar across her stomach, according to a news release.

More than 20 years ago, Drew Peterson was fired from the Bolingbrook Police Department after the village board of police and fire commissioners found him guilty of disobedience, conducting a self-assigned investigation, failure to report a bribe immediately and official misconduct. He had been indicted two months earlier on charges of official misconduct and failure to report a bribe. Peterson was working under the auspices of the Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad at the time. Indictments alleged he solicited drugs in exchange for information about his agency.

The charges later were dropped. Special prosecutor Raymond Bolden said at the time the charges were not provable.

Drew Peterson won reinstatement with the department in March 1986. Judge Edwin Grabiec ruled police and fire commissioners lacked sufficient evidence to find Peterson guilty of the charges.

This is very disturbing. He got away with it once, so he thought he could do it again, probably.
And now there are more children without a Mother. :sad:

This guy had a bunch of ex wives and 4 kids, plus a newer, much younger wife in school. I wonder if they were having some financial trouble. Did she have life insurance?
Or was she developing a life of her own in order to escape him?

I'm always surprised that people are not more suspicious of someone who has had multiple failed marriages. It should be a red flag that something's not quite right, and that maybe this person is not someone who would be a good spouse.

These stories scare the H*ll outta me.  I recently left my husband who is a major control freak and is extremely emotionally and verbally abusive.  I know her husband is not an official suspect at this point but he could be the one who did something to her.  Just like Alma Mendez who's story is similar as far as leaving the husband.  I am always suspicious of the partner as so many of these female victims are killed by the men who profess to love them.  Very scary for a newly single woman.  You think that they would never do something like that, and bam...all of a sudden she's missing.

I have been reading alot about this case.  This girl was 17 when she met this married man and then became pregnant.  He would be what, 47 when they met?  Can you imagine your daughter at 17 introducing you to her 47 year old boy friend?  You would kind of have to wonder ..... not to mention his first wife ends up dead during their divorce.  Sheesh, very alarming.

You have to wonder, are we just hearing more about people killing their spouse as opposed to divorce or is it really happening more?  With child support & custody issues being what they are these days, I am prone to think men (seems like more so than women) are opting for murder over divorce.  Leaving alot of children with out mothers  :sad:

Bolingbrook Cop Speaks About Wife's Disappearance
Husband Says 23-Year-Old Is 'Where She Wants To Be'



Mike Puccinelli BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) ― Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson commented Wednesday for the first time about the disappearance of his young wife Stacy Peterson. Meanwhile, prosecutors are taking a fresh look at the death of his ex-wife three years ago.

Sgt. Peterson says it was an unusual but fatal slip in the tub that caused the death of Kathleen Savio. He also took time to lash out on the media for, in his words, being more interested in the death of his ex-wife than in finding Stacy Peterson.

As CBS 2 West Suburban Bureau Chief Mike Puccinelli reports, at Stacy Peterson's Bolingbrook home police were on standby in marked and unmarked cars throughout the day Wednesday. While Drew Peterson and his kids remained holed up inside with no plans to go trick-or-treating. But CBS 2 did talk with his friend briefly outside the home.

"Drew is doing the best he can in a situation like this," Richard Mims said.

Drew and Stacy Peterson have been married for four years. She disappeared seemingly without a trace. Sgt. Peterson didn't want to go on camera but he did allow CBS 2 inside for a 10-minute conversation.

He described his last conversation with Stacy on Sunday night as being very unusual. He says she seemed "snotty."

He also said that her demeanor changed after one of her sisters died recently from cancer. He said she'd been under the care of a psychiatrist who had put her on the anti-anxiety drugs.
He also said he had no reason to suspect foul play in his wife's disappearance.

But Stacy Peterson's only surviving sister, Cassandra Cales, says Stacy lived in fear of the veteran police officer.

"She feared for her life," Cales said. "She wanted a divorce and was talking about getting a divorce."


Cales says her sister planned to meet with a divorce attorney on Monday. On Sunday she had planned to help a friend paint her home. When she never showed up, Cales started worrying.

"She told me if anything happened, if she disappeared she wanted somebody to know," Cales said.

So Cales called police before dawn Monday. Sgt. Peterson said he believes Stacy is "where she wants to be." He also said after she sees the media reports she'll either go deeper underground or she'll surface.

Police have been searching with canines and heat-seeking planes for Stacy Peterson. Sgt. Peterson said he thought it would be "very unusual" for Stacy to leave her children. He also said he has lived an honorable life and now people are looking at him with suspicion. He said that hurts.

This guy lashes out at the media for bringing up how his last wife died, seems like he doesn't want that talked about or investigated because he might have something to hide. Getting a little nervous Mike?

He also is now saying that the media needs to focus on his wife missing? Initially he blew it off saying that her mother ran off before, implying that Stacy just ran off... Now when we hear about how his last wife died under suspicious circumstances, he suddenly wants the media to focus on Stacy's case? He is doing some CYA - (Cover Your A**)

This guy probably was tired of divorces, he’s had two, so he off’s them because in his mind they are too much trouble. Also he might be worried that the truth would get exposed about him. Such as him not being a very honorable cop, or husband…

There was allegations about domestic abuse in the 3rd marriage and a restraining order against him.

I would so love for Stacey to be found alive and well and hubby not involved in her disappearance but realise the odds are against it. I also wish these folks would just get a divorce instead of ruining all the lives of those around them.

Off topic, Both of our children graduated at 17. When son was a freshman in college he became involved with his boss at his work study job. A married social worker. It scared me to death. I was afraid he was going to wind up dead.Son kept saying her husband was not a violent person and I kept saying anyone can become violent when pushed to far. I had to threaten her with getting her fired to get it to end. She did end it then thank God.

Kissyface please let your friends or family or someone know of your own fears. I pray they are unjustified but if you have them and you know him better than the rest of us. Stay safe. JMHO

HIS SIDE vs. HER FAMILY'S SIDE

His side: Sgt. Drew Peterson

November 1, 2007
BY DAN ROZEK AND STEFANO ESPOSITO Staff Reporters
Drew Peterson believes his missing wife left voluntarily -- even taking extra clothes with her -- and isn't a victim of foul play, the Bolingbrook police sergeant said Wednesday, breaking his silence on the puzzling disappearance of Stacy Peterson.

"I believe she's not missing. She's where she wants to be," he said. "I have no reason to suspect foul play."

His 23-year-old wife has been seeing a psychiatrist, taking Effexor, a prescription anti-depressant medication and struggling with "mood issues" since the cancer death last year of her sister, Peterson said during a brief interview in the couple's Bolingbrook home.

"Ever since then, Stacy has been different," the 53-year-old Peterson said. "There's been mood issues. She's been under the care of a psychiatrist."

That carried over into their last conversation, he said. She left their home Sunday morning to help a relative paint, then called him at their home at about 9 p.m. Sunday.

"She seemed snotty," Peterson said, describing the call as "unusual" though he wouldn't disclose details of what was said.

That call at 9 p.m. Sunday was his last communication with his wife -- and even then he said he didn't know where she was calling from.

"I don't know where she was when she called," he said.

Her relatives reported her missing about 4 a.m. Monday and there have been no signs of her since then.

Subhed
Illinois State Police said Wednesday they have used tracking dogs and an airplane equipped with a heat-sensing device to search for the 5-foot-2-inch tall, 100-pound woman, but have not located her.

Peterson, a 29-year veteran of the Bolingbrook Police Department, said he doesn't know why his wife of four years would leave him and their two children, ages 2 and 4, behind. She also adopted his children from a previous marriage, he said.

"I find that very unusual," he said of her absence. "She's a very good mom. For the last year or so, she's been very short-tempered, snapping on everyone, but still a good mom."

Stacy, who also took classes at Joliet Junior College, hadn't talked of suicide, Peterson said.

He said he thought their marriage was solid.

"I believed our marriage was good, but maybe she didn't," he said.

He believes the publicity surrounding her disappearance may prompt her to return, but added cryptically," there's other things involved."

Now taking leave from his job -- which he was set to retire from on Dec. 16 -- Peterson said he talked "for a while" on Monday night to state police investigators searching for his wife.

He said he found her purse, cell phone and even some clothing gone after she left their two-story brick home on Sunday.

Subhed
During the brief session with several reporters, Peterson banned any cameras, saying: "I would like to have my anonymity."

He sat at a desk in a first-floor study, with pictures of the couple's two kids -- Lacy, 2, and Anthony, 4 -- behind him on a bookcase.

Other pictures of the children and a photo of Peterson with his wife, sat nearby in the study.

Two sons from a prior marriage, now ages 12 and 15, also live in the house.

Peterson ripped media reports that Will County authorities are reviewing the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, who drowned in a tub in her Bolingbrook home shortly after the couple had divorced.

A state police investigation concluded the death was accidental, but Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow said Tuesday he wants to take another look at the case.

"She just had an accident," he said. "Yes, it was an unusual accident."

That announcement, he said, has created public suspicion that he was somehow involved in her death -- something he adamantly denied.

"It bothers me. I've led an honorable life and people are looking at me sideways," he said. "It hurts. I just have to live through it."

He also complained that publicity surrounding his wife's disappearance had disrupted the family, even keeping his children from going Trick-or-Treating on Halloween.

"My klds can't even go Trick-or-Treat. I hate it," he said. "I'm a prisoner here."

He declined to answer a number of different questions, citing the ongoing investigation and family privacy.

"I'm not going to say anything that would jeopardize my family," he said.


Their side: Stacy Peterson's family

November 1, 2007
BY DAN ROZEK AND STEFANO ESPOSITO Staff Reporters
Stacy Peterson's family said Wednesday that the 23-year-old missing mother of two would never have abandoned her young children, ages 2 and 4.

"She's very sweet and caring," said Peterson's aunt, Candace Aikin, 48, of El Monte, Calif. "She's a very good mother to her children."

Peterson's uncle, Gary Cales, 68, of Hemet, Calif., agreed: "I know damn well she wouldn't go without them kids. I just know that for sure. That's the kind of mother she is. She loved those children."

Aikin said she is very close to her niece, and talks to her once a week by phone or e-mail. She said Stacy Peterson met her future husband about six years ago while she was working at a hotel in Bolingbrook.

Drew Peterson later got Stacy, then 17, a job at the Bolingbrook Police Department, Aikin said.

Aikin said Stacy Peterson grew up in Downers Grove and in Florida and Louisiana. Stacy's parents divorced when she was a little girl, Aikin said. Stacy lived with her father after the divorce, Aikin said, adding Stacy's mother had a history of vanishing without telling relatives where she was going.

"And then she would come back into our lives when she felt like calling."

Aikin said her family had concerns about Drew Peterson's character early on because he told Stacy when he began dating her that he had never been married.

In fact, Peterson had been married three times before.

Subhed
When Aikin first met Drew Peterson, "He seemed like a nice guy. He was always very nice to me."

But in recent months, it became clear that Stacy Peterson was miserable in her 4-year-old marriage, Aikin said.

Stacy confided to her aunt that her cop husband wanted to control her every move. Drew Peterson often asked his wife if she had a boyfriend, Aikin said.

"She was very stressed in her relationship with Drew," Aikin said. "She was on anti-depressants, and she couldn't even sleep at night. When I saw her this last time [in October], she was having a very hard time coping with her life. She just looked lost and confused."

Stacy Peterson told her aunt she wanted to divorce her husband, but didn't want to lose her children.

Aikin said she last spoke to her niece on Oct. 21.

"She sounded kind of frantic, like she wanted Drew out," Aikin said. "She was trying to kick him out. She said she would get back with me but she never did."

LOL -  :lol: That is sort of what I was thinking Jennifer34.  But all you monkeys know me pretty well, I would definitely be leaning towards the husband having something to do with this for many reasons and on many levels.  But also, like you said, if he truly had nothing to do with it, it sure does look horrible for him. 

I too feel so bad for the children of today they have to try to grow up in all this mess.

My theory, she wanted to leave him, didn't know quite how to go about that.  He is a cop and a control freak.  Couldn't take the thought of it.  Now he is going to be as arrogant as possible, blaming it on her depression, etc.  Yada yada...

I do hope I am wrong.  (PS - don't mean to make a generalization about all cops either).  Some of cops in this case histories however, are NOT good.

There are news helicopters flying over the airport now.
I won't make any mention on camera's, as it is an airport, however we have camera's on the doors. Maybe it would be a good idea to check them. I cannot make mention on anything involving security issues (cameras, pilots and who is leaving when) and I wouldn't want to say anything that could become an issue with the safety of me and the other people here so I won't mention anything about who does and doesn't leave the airport. I will say that it wouldn't be hard to fly out as a passenger and no-one know. Our hanger is staffed 24-7, but with it being cold out we close the hanger door to keep the bay warmer. There are alot of cars that drive behind the airport, but if your not looking for it, it could be missed. It's not unusual to have a car drive on the airport grounds, but they cannot get all the way around as we block the drive-thru area for civilian protection; we can't have someone driving in the area with the helicopter taking off at moments notice. I'm curious to know which area of the parking lot he claims she left the vehicle.

Stacy Peterson was last seen on Sunday and the last person who spoke to her over the phone was her husband. 

The couple has two young chidren ages 2 and 4.

The Drew Peterson, 53,  has denied any involvement in her disappearance, saying that she left on her own, however Stacy Peterson's sister has told WBBM her sister feared for her life. 

Cassandra Cales says she would talk to her sister Stacy Peterson every day. 

"She told me Friday night that she feared for her life and that she was telling me this, so that if she just so happened to disappear, it wasn't her and she wanted to be found."

Stacy Peterson is the fourth wife of Bolingbrook Police Sergeant Drew Peterson.

His third wife Kathleen Savio, 40, was found dead in a bathtub - a death that was ruled accidental. However, Will County officials have said they are taking another look at the case in light of the recent developments.

Bolingbrook police say Sergeant Drew Peterson told them he found his wife's car at the airport Sunday night.

A camera is aimed at the parking lot of the airport, and investigators have been trying to figure out if they can get images that will yield some clues.
The Illinois State Police have used tracking dogs and an airplane equipped with a heat-sensing device to search for the woman. Authorities also have found no indications of foul play.

Peterson said he thought the couple had a good marriage, ``but maybe she didn't,'' he said.
   
In fact, Stacy Peterson's family, while agreeing the woman was depressed, said the reason was she believed her husband was watching everything she did and had asked for a divorce.
   
``She just wanted people to know she was unhappy, and she didn't like how she was being treated,'' said her aunt, Candace Aikin, 48, of El Monte, Calif. ``In case she disappeared - if something bad happened to her.''

 Just another bit of info...He recieved 1 million dollars from his ex-wifes death. Weird, I thought they were divorced. I can see why she fell for him...rich man in a uniform. This is heresay, so don't hold me to this info. I'm giving it to you as I hear it and don't have time to make sure it's all accurate. I do, do more at work then write on here...I have to eat too!
 

From what I understand, Drew is devistated and looks it too. He thinks she left him for another man, but thats what they all say. Still don't know everything, but I hear Drew is not in custody. Conflicting stories.

I'm hoping she just took off and is too embarassed to show face now. Doesn't sound too good though.

They are using the airport resturaunt as a command post.

well that is definitely not good news.  I wonder how long it will take to find some kind of tangible evidence.  Sometimes the dogs (though it is very rare) give a false alert.  I wonder how many dogs alerted.  If it were more than one, then I would say they have probably found some kind of traces.  If it were only one dog, they may need to do it again.  Sad but true, time is of the essence and the more time that goes by, as we all know, the more evidence gets "lost".  I really hope the alert was false and they find this young mother.  If it turns out to be homicide though, at least she had the foresight to let her family members know that she was in fear.  That will make them investigate him more thoroughly.  Sad sad sad.  Prayers for Stacy, her children and her friends and family.

Massive Search Underway For Cop's Missing Wife

Stacy Peterson's Family Believes She May Have Been Killed
BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) ― Family and friends of a missing woman from Bolingbrook are launching a massive search effort this weekend.

As CBS 2's Rafael Romo reports, Stacy Peterson, 23, has now been missing for six days. Her husband, Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, was the last one to see her this past Sunday.

Two searches for Stacy Peterson were planned for Saturday. Neighbors were conducting the first search at the Petersons' house. That search was already getting underway at 8 a.m.

Later Saturday morning, neighbors planned to search the DuPage River Greenway.

On Friday night, a friend of Drew Peterson's spoke on his behalf. Ric Mims has been the sergeant's friend for years, and he says the 53-year-old veteran cop would have been incapable of harming his wife.

"I know in my heart there's no foul play. I want to say that one more time, I know in my heart there's no foul play," Mims said. "I stand by my friend."

But Stacy's family is not so certain.

"Something happened to her," said her sister, Cassandra Cales.

Stacy's family fears that she might have been the victim of foul play. They plan to look around Bolingbrook for her on Saturday.

Cales told CBS 2 West Suburban Bureau Chief Mike Puccinelli on Friday that her sister had been in fear for her life and had said so before disappearing. Cales said Stacy Peterson had been expected to help her paint last Sunday, but never showed up.

Later, Cales said, she called Drew Peterson, and she said what followed was a mysterious conversation.

"And I hear a bunch of noise and shuffling, and car ignition keys, you know, like he's starting a car, and he's like, 'I went out running around looking for your sister. She left me,'" Cales said.

Cales has said she did not believe her sister would leave without her children.

On Friday afternoon, investigators searched a manhole near the Peterson Home on Bolingbrook's Pheasant Run Court, looking for clues. Police divers also searched a retention pond near the home.

The two-day search of the retention ponds ended with no result. Authorities continue to investigate numerous tips from the public.

But in spite of the family's worst fears, police continue to investigate the disappearance only as a missing persons case.

"I'm just hoping some way, she's out there still," said family friend Bruce Zidarich.

Stacy is Drew Peterson's fourth wife. Questions also remain about the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, who drowned in a whirlpool-style bathtub three years ago. At the time, the Will County coroner's office ruled the case accidental, but the Will County state's attorney's office has reopened the case.

SATURDAY UPDATE: Pond Search for Clues of Cop's Missing Wife Comes Up Dry

 
BOLINGBROOK  (WBBM) ― Dive crews again searched a retention near the neighborhood of a  missing wife of a Bolingbrook police sergeant. But they left without recovering any clues, taking nothing with them

Meanwhile, the woman's sister is afraid of what might have happened to her.

Stacy Peterson, 23, was last seen on Sunday. Illinois State Police have searched the home she shared with her husband, Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson.

Drew Peterson remains in his home.

The police dive teams continue to search retention ponds just up the street. They searched the pond on Thursday before darkness halted them and Friday until dusk. Viewing conditions under water are zero visibility. They originally planned to continue for several days to clear the whole pond. A cadaver-sensing dog was in one of the search  boats.

It is located a short distance from their home on Pheasant Chase Court in Bolingbrook. It is also near the business where Drew Peterson told family members that he found Stacy's car on Sunday night.

Stacy's family and loved ones say Drew Peterson told them the mother of two children left him for another man and likely flew to Jamaica.

•Cassandra Cales (pictured) said her sister Stacy would never leave her children.

Cales said she believed her sister was in danger and had in essence been stalked by her husband.

"When she told me Friday night she feared for her life, I was suspicious so I wanted to stay in contact her, so I saw her Saturday night," Cales said. "We spoke, we talked all day, we text messaged. When I left her Saturday night, she said she'd call me when she woke up. She never called, and I just got really worried."

Cales had been expecting her sister to help her paint with a friend on Sunday, but five hours after Stacy had been expected, she had not shown up. Cales said began "calling her cell phone, calling the house, I was calling everybody, and then finally I broke down and called Drew."

Cales said she reached Sgt. Peterson at 11:26 p.m. Sunday.

"I called him and I heard a bunch of noise and shuffling and car ignition keys like him starting a car," Cales said. "(Drew Peterson said), 'I went out running around looking for your sister. She left me,' I said, 'While what are you doing, where are you at?' He goes, 'I'm at home, where are you at?' I said, 'I'm at home in my garage,' sitting a couple blocks away."

Cales said she was certain Sgt. Peterson was lying when he said he was home, since she had just left the Peterson house. She went straight to police, who spent Thursday executing warrants at the home.

When Cales finished filing missing persons reports before dawn Monday morning, she said she drove back to Stacy's house and discovered that both cars were in the driveway, whereas earlier that night they had been missing

"He said that she called him at 9 o'clock and said she left her car at Clow Airport (a local airfield), and that she was leaving; going on a little vacation," Cales said. "I wouldn't be doing all this if I believed it."

"I'm doing what you asked," Cales said in tears. "I'm here to let you know that I will find you."

Cales said her greatest fear is, "That he did something to her."

Drew and Stacy Peterson have been married for four years. She is his fourth wife. In 2004 Sgt. Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, was found dead in a bathtub just down the street from the Petersons' current home.  It is a whirlpool-style tub. Savio's sister said she does not think it would be possible for her sister to drown in it.

The Will County Coroner's office ruled Savio's death an accident. The current Will County State's Attorney, James Glasgow, was not in office at the time of the incident, and has decided to take a second look.

Raking the bottom
BOLINGBROOK | Divers search pond for woman, State Police take interest in aircraft


November 3, 2007
BY STEFANO ESPOSITO AND DAN ROZEK Staff Reporters
As divers probed a murky pond Friday searching for clues in the disappearance of Bolingbrook mother Stacy Peterson, Illinois State Police zeroed in on her cop husband's micro-light airplane.

Divers spent nearly seven hours painstakingly scouring the pond, near Clow Airport in the far southwestern suburb, but came up with nothing in their search for Peterson.

RELATED STORIES• Police search airport, pond for missing woman

And State Police were at a hangar at Cushing Field, about 65 miles southwest of downtown Chicago, for about an hour Friday morning, said Michael Hudetz, a flight instructor at the airfield and owner of A&M Sports, a company selling micro-lights.

Hudetz said he showed investigators Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson's two-seater Aquilla Trike and the hangar where Peterson keeps it.

"They asked a lot of questions," Hudetz said. "They seemed very interested in how it works. They wanted to know where the people sit, where they put their feet. They wanted to know how the [aircraft's] parachute works."

Investigators also asked Hudetz if there were any "barrels" at the airfield.

"One of the guys I shook hands with was wearing thin plastic gloves," Hudetz said.

But State Police were "very vague" about why they were at the hangar Friday, Hudetz said.

The divers, who were aided during the morning by a cadaver-sniffing dog riding in a boat, didn't find any items that could be linked to Stacy Peterson's disappearance, authorities said.

Husband being 'cooperative'
There was no specific tip or information that led police to search the 2-acre pond, said Trooper Mark Dorencz, a State Police spokesman.

The pond is a few blocks from Peterson's home and sits at the end of the runway at Clow Airport, a small public airstrip.

"We're basically just covering the area [near the home]," Dorencz said, adding the investigation into Peterson's disappearance remains "a missing person's case."

Divers from the Naperville and Plainfield police departments stretched a cable across the bottom of the pond, then two divers slowly swam along the cable, feeling along the bottom for objects. After the divers completed each sweep, the cable was moved a foot or two along the bank, allowing the divers to swim back across and search a new area of the pond.

Peterson was reported missing Monday by worried relatives. Her husband, Drew Peterson, told investigators he last saw his wife Sunday morning and last spoke to her by phone Sunday night.

Drew Peterson, 53, wasn't questioned Friday by investigators, but "he's been cooperative," said Master Sgt. Luis Gutierrez, another State Police spokesman.

Peterson didn't talk to reporters still parked outside the family's home.

About 11 a.m., Peterson rode out of his driveway on a motorcycle, with a red-white-and-blue bandanna pulled up to his eyes.

About two years ago, Hudetz trained Drew Peterson to fly his micro-light, which runs about $20,000 new, the flight instructor said.

"He was actually a private pilot before that," Hudetz said. "He flew regular airplanes. He seemed like a very nice guy."

Sometimes Peterson flew alone but he had also flown with his wife, Hudetz said.

 im posting this here, because the other thread was aparently closed. im new to all this message board stuff, so who knows



OK, lets play! what do YOU know about her family?
well, i know that they lost a sister, lacy, who was 2 in a house fire. The lost baby jessica at 10 months, to crib death, which set mom over the edge....tooo much for her to handle, and she began the cycle of leaving and coming back. this devestated the kids.
stacy lost her sister and best friend tina last year after a 20 month long battle with colon cancer. it has been said that she was depressed and on meds for that....well, drew had stacy convinced that tinas death was nothing more than assisted sucicide, so yeah, that was a huge struggle for her. BTW it was not like that at all....tina died of cancer....the meds used were to keep her comfotrable, not kill her. this is know as FACT!
he was very controlling. FACT! at tinas funeral, he was never more than 5 steps away from her....watching her in such a way that was dam creepy to everyone who saw it.
the first time i met him i knew nothing about him at all....and i instantly had a bad feeling about him....very shady.
when stacy met him, he told her he had never been married, later it came out that he was divorced, and finally, when she got pregnant, it was found out that he was just getting divorced. yes, stacy did not make the best choices in the situation. but he wooed her. she came froim not much and he offered her the world, and she, being a starry eyed teen ager, with a knight in shining armor, well....the rest you know.
as for her family...they have been throuh so much and have risen about IN SPITE of it. now, there is the matter of the brother, yelton, in prison and this sexual predator crap;.....he was dating an underage girl whos sister tunred him in.....he isnt the most upstanding man, i agree, but he isnt a pedofile either, like drew made him out to be. in fact, the under age thing, well, drew knows a thing or two about that, EH?
and yes, the sister, cassandra has a deep voice....so what! she is struggling with the loss of her sister, ANOTHER sister.....how would YOU be!?!
stacy was afraid of her husband......i know this personally, from her mouth to my ears. she wanted to leave, but feared loosing her kids, or her life.
i kow for a FACT that IF she went underground, she would have at the very least told her aunt candy! she would have NEVER EVER put her family through this, as she knows what it is like, not to mention the kids...no, she isnt like her mother in that way.
so, no, she didnt come from the most stable family in the state....so what! what does that mean?
nothing......it means this girl is missing. vanished with out a trace. and knowing stacy, she didnt leave of her own accord.

I wonder what insurance policies Drew Peterson might have on this wife and if they are comparable to the ones from his third wife.

I don't think she would leave her children as Stacey seems very connected to her own family and would have some support for them there. 

Note the State Police have been called in so as not to have the local PD investigating one of their own.  Excellent move and worthy of citing as example for all to follow when a police officer is involved.

Anna - good question regarding the insurance policy on Stacy.  I don't think Drew is going that route however with Stacy.  It would have to be an accidental death and it sounds like if she's found dead, he'll try to claim suicide.  Of course life insurace wouldn't pay out in the case of suicide.  If she's not found, Drew will claim she simply ran off which I don't think she'd do.  So IMO, he's trying to get out of being divorced a 4th time and paying child support and possibly alimony.

Klaas,

I think some life insurance policies will pay on a suicide if it happens so many years after the policy has been in effect.  Long period of time like three or five years but some of them do pay.  Just made long enough that a person can't take out a policy and then commit suicide instantly.

I was thinking he might have taken out the policy when the children were born and used that as an excuse for needing one.

But surely he would not be that stupid and obvious, just a passing thought.

I maintain hope and prayers for her safe recovery but do not believe she would have left her children with such a strong tradition of family ties.  Let's hope she was fearful and got to safety but by now she would have seen the news and search and I don't think she would put her family through this as her sister does not seem to think that likely either.

.

Spouse under scrutiny
MISSING BOLINGBROOK MOM

November 3, 2007
By JOE HOSEY Staff Writer
BOLINGBROOK -- The police have searched his house and seized his property. A media horde has camped in front of his home. A crowd of in-laws criticize him. But at least one man feels for the police sergeant whose wife disappeared nearly a week ago.

"I know what he's going through," said Craig Stebic, the Plainfield pipefitter who has a missing wife of his own. "Especially with you media and everything."

Stebic, the husband of the vanished Lisa Stebic, has weathered police and media scrutiny for more than six months.

Sgt. Drew Peterson is on Day 6 and already has shown signs of strain, briefly venturing out in front of the media with an American flag bandanna covering his face, dark sunglasses and an NYPD baseball cap pulled low over his eyes before running back inside Thursday. Then on Friday, witnesses say he drove away from the media throng on his motorcycle with the same bandanna covering his face.

Peterson's missing wife, 23-year-old Stacy Peterson, last was seen Sunday morning. She apparently was heading to meet the boyfriend of her sister Cassandra to help him paint a house but never reached her destination.

Cassandra and other family members since have expressed their suspicions of the 53-year-old Drew Peterson in the media.

Drew Peterson was still married when he met 17-year-old Stacy Cales while she was working as an overnight desk clerk at Spring Hill Suites on Remington Boulevard. Their March-November romance spelled the end of his marriage to his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

Within years of Drew Peterson filing for divorce, Savio died under mysterious circumstances.

Her body was discovered after Drew Peterson attempted to return their two sons from a weekend visitation. No one answered the locked door and Drew Peterson, who lived down the street from Savio with his new wife Stacy, sought help from a neighbor. The neighbor called a locksmith, and once entry was gained, went inside to find Savio's body in a waterless bathtub.

State's Attorney James Glasgow has revisited the case to see if it warrants criminal charges, but "the missing persons case is the immediate concern right now," said Glasgow's spokesman, Charles B. Pelkie.

Divers search pond
The missing persons case continued Friday with police divers searching a retention pond near the Petersons' home on Pheasant Chase Court.
State police also have turned an eye to a micro-light airplane owned by Drew Peterson. Investigators were at a hangar at Cushing Field in Newark, about 30 miles west of Joliet, for about an hour Friday morning, said Michael Hudetz, a flight instructor who also sells micro-lights.

Hudetz said he showed investigators Drew Peterson's two-seater Aquilla Trike and the hangar where Peterson keeps it.

"They asked a lot of questions," Hudetz said. "They seemed very interested in how it works. They wanted to know where the people sit, where they put their feet. They wanted to know how the (aircraft's) parachute works."

Investigators also asked Hudetz if there were any "barrels" at the airfield.

About two years ago, Hudetz trained Drew Peterson to fly his micro-light, which run about $20,000 new, the flight instructor said.

"He was actually a private pilot before that," Hudetz said. "He flew regular airplanes. He seemed like a very nice guy."

Sometimes Peterson flew alone, but he had also flown with his wife, Hudetz said.

The search for Lisa Stebic, which passed the six-month mark last week, continues as well.

But police working that case have dropped the nicety of labeling it a missing person investigation, revealing in July that they had concluded Lisa Stebic was not involved in an accident or forcibly abducted. They believe she was a victim of foul play, and that Craig Stebic knows something about her disappearance.

Latest on Missing Cop Wife Stacy Peterson… And A Behind The Scenes
by Greta Van Susteren
This is behind the scenes…

Late last night on the way home after the show I spoke to Mark Furham — he was driving away from the scene of Sgt. Peterson’s house with my producer Steph Watts. Mark told me the local police are annoyed with me since we read on the air the portion of wife #3’s letter where she complained that she had called the police on her then husband Sgt. Peterson multiple times and included in the letter that the police did not take reports. (Our panel also seized upon this statement in the letter.)

As you know, wife #3 was found dead in the bathtub and it was ruled ‘accidental’ (Dr. Baden does not agree with this conclusion.)

I told Mark he should tell the police that they are welcome to come on our air and state that reports were taken (contrary to the letter of wife #3) - and to tell them that I want to be sure to get the facts absolutely right.

I am curious now, however, why so many reports taken and apparently no action taken????? or did wife #3 complain to the police, make a report but then back out of pursuing it? That does happen… The police need the help of the complaining party to pursue domestic violence claims.

I hope we get the answers Monday and I hope the police will join us to explain. And let me be plain: I want to get this right..and I want to be fair to all parties.

Yes, that happened. I saw it on Fox earlier today. A young woman (neighbor or friend) said that some search experts were coming in -- the same ones that searched for Natalee Holloway in Aruba. She had Natalee and Aruba by name but did not have the name of TE. Later in the afternoon or evening Fox had a banner on its news story naming Tim Miller and Texas Equisearch.

Hi PV!  This is great news!  From what I understand thought TES is pretty busy tomorrow and is on another search next weekend.  Maybe TES will go out during the week?

Hi, Klaas. I was up in that area this week. My dad passed away and we had a funeral near there. Very sad but he was 85 and accomplished a lot. Anyway, they are quite stirred up about this case on the local news. One of the newspapers reported that Greta and Mark Fuhrman were on site. You might have noticed that this is not far from Plainfield where Lisa Stebic lived. The plane is an interesting addition in this story. It's about thirty miles to Lake Michigan. You could conceivably fly twenty miles out over the lake and back again, for a total of one hundred miles -- no big deal, and there are no recreational boaters out there at this time of year to see you drop something.

The plane is an ultralight, not a normal closed cockpit plane so I'm not sure if he would use that.  There is a large blue plastic tub that appears to be missing from the house as well.

Family, friends search woods for missing Bolingbrook mother
By Emma Graves Fitzsimmons

Tribune staff reporter

9:48 PM CDT, November 3, 2007

Giving up hope that missing Bolingbrook mother Stacy Peterson is alive, her family and friends are now focused on finding information to help with the investigation into her disappearance.

Dozens of people combed a forest near her home for several hours on Saturday looking for any traces of the 23-year-old, who disappeared last Sunday. Their search through the wooded Knoch Knolls Park came up empty, but the group planned to return with more people on Sunday morning.

Peterson's sister, Cassandra Cales, said the family no longer believes she is alive.

"We're going to get to the bottom of this," Cales, 22, said during the search. "I just want whoever did this to her brought to justice."

Cales also confirmed Saturday that her sister said the Friday before she disappeared that she feared for her life and wanted a divorce from her husband, Drew, a Bolingbrook police sergeant.

Neighbors posted fliers at local malls while friends created a Web site to pool information on her case. Some searched the DuPage River a mile from her home by kayak; others walked a cadaver dog through nearby wetlands at Whalon Lake Dog Park.

Meanwhile, her sister pieced together a timeline of accounts from friends and family of the days leading up to her disappearance.

It was a coordinated effort by a community hungry for an explanation into her disappearance, especially as the national media have descended upon the quiet southwest suburban neighborhood.

Drew Peterson, 53, has been interviewed by police in his wife's disappearance. The couple have two children, ages 2 and 4, and Drew has two sons, ages 13 and 14, from a previous marriage. His former wife and the mother of his sons, Kathleen Savio, drowned in a bathtub accident in 2004, but prosecutors are now reviewing that case.

Authorities are calling the Stacy Peterson case a missing-person investigation, but those who knew her best suspect foul play and say Peterson never would have skipped town without her children.

Peterson was reported missing to the Illinois State Police early Monday after she failed to meet her sister Sunday to help paint a house. Her husband said he last saw her about 10 a.m. Sunday, and last spoke with her about 9 p.m. Sunday when she called on her cell phone to say she was leaving him.

Authorities were not performing any searches on Saturday after divers spent Thursday and Friday dragging a 5-acre pond at Bolingbrook's Clow International Airport, just blocks from the Peterson home. Drew Peterson, who is licensed to fly a plane, said he found his wife's car in Clow's parking lot Monday.

State Police on Friday searched a hangar at Cushing Field in Sheridan where Drew Peterson kept a plane, according to Michael Hudetz, a flight instructor at A&M Airsports. Cushing Field is about 38 miles west of Bolingbrook.

Among those helping in Saturday's search was Anne Bielby, who has never met Peterson, but wants to see a happy ending to the story.

"This is my hometown, so it's personal," she said. "You can't not look. As more time passes, you lose valuable clues." The Web site dedicated to Stacy Peterson is findstacypeterson.com.

No, I suppose an ultralight would not be efficient. The Chicago Tribune says at 8:17 tonight that the family believes she's dead:

An Alert for everyone who wishes to help in the search for missing Bolingbrook mother, Stacy Peterson:

Tomorrow (Sunday, November 4) at 10:00 a.m. they're having another search that will meet at 6 Pheasant Chase Court in Bolingbrook, Illinois....

That is in the cul-de-sac in front of Stacy's house.

We are asking everyone to help to get the word out to your mailing list about the search.

They NEED as many volunteers as possible are needed to help cover search areas!
Equusearch is coming in tomorrow, but it's going to take them some time to get things set up, so in the meantime others are organizing searches to try and find Stacy.

Wife's e-mail shows troubled marriage
BOLINGBROOK | Volunteers searching for missing woman

November 4, 2007
BY STEVE WARMBIR Staff Reporter/swarmbir@suntimes.com
Friends and family of missing Bolingbrook mother Stacy Peterson vowed to continue their search today through a heavily wooded area near her home, while a recently uncovered e-mail sent by Peterson sheds new light on the troubled relationship between her and her cop husband in the days before her disappearance.

About 60 volunteers spread out Saturday morning along a jogging trail and a large wooded area around Route 53 and Royce Road in Bolingbrook. They also blanketed area stores with fliers. Peterson's husband, Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson, left his home Saturday morning and did not join in the search effort.

Stacy Peterson's sister, Cassandra Cales, did participate but told NBC5 she believes her sister is dead.

"No, she's not alive," Cales said, echoing the fears of many searchers.

The search will resume at 9 a.m. today, with volunteers asked to meet at Peterson's Bolingbrook house on Pheasant Chase Court. Employees from a professional search company from Texas are expected to volunteer as well beginning today, said one search coordinator, Roy Taylor, whose mother is a close friend of Stacy Peterson's.

Illinois State Police have expressed interest in a barrel once at the Peterson home. Searchers focused on that but came up empty Saturday.

One searcher, Mike Cepuran, who said he knew Stacy Peterson since she was a little girl, paddled a kayak as part of the search along the DuPage River. Cepuran found a barrel -- but it was empty.

Police divers have searched a nearby pond, and investigators also have examined a micro-light airplane owned by Drew Peterson.

Friends and family called Stacy Peterson "a good person" who would never leave her two children. Worried relatives reported Stacy Peterson missing on Monday.

'Keep me in your prayers'
On Oct. 17, she e-mailed a family friend, expressing concern over her deteriorating relationship with her husband. The e-mail was provided by the friend, Steve Cesare, to the Naperville Sun.

"i have been arguing quite a bit w/my husband," Stacy Peterson wrote.

"as i mature with age i am finding that the relationship i am in is controlling, manipulative and some what abusive," she wrote in the e-mail dated Oct. 17. ". . . tomorrow is our 4 year anniversary and I am not as excited as the years that have past.

". . . if you could keep me in your prayers i could use some wisdom, protection, and strength."


Stacy Peterson is the fourth wife of Drew Peterson. His third wife, Kathleen Savio, was found dead in an empty bathtub in her Bolingbrook home in 2004. The death was ruled accidental.

Drew Peterson and Savio were divorced at the time. Their two sons inherited the $1 million life insurance policy Peterson held on his ex-wife, court records indicate.

Just Spoke to Producer Covering Sgt Peterson / Stacy Peterson

by Greta Van Susteren
I just spoke to Steph Watts, producer on the ground in Illinois covering the Stacy Peterson disappearance story.  It has been exactly one week she has been gone and still no sign.  He said Tim Miller and EquiSearch is due there tonight.  EquiSearch is very experienced at organizing searches.  As you might know, organization is key to avoiding duplicate searches or even contaminated evidence.

If the husband were able to get her body into a container and out of the house, he would probably head farther away than the local retention pond, IMHO. It's a short drive to I-55 and from there he could go west toward Iowa on I-80. You get miles and miles of farm country out there, including some hills and canyons around Starved Rock State Park. Because the most recent wife was found in the home, he would want the next one to be found far far away, wouldn't ya think? Or not found at all.

I agree.  TES should be meeting with the state police since they are in charge of the case.  I really hope they have some ideas of where to look.

Fox News interviewed the recipient of the e-mails from Stacy. He said that her husband was very controlling and gave this example: Stacy's sister had fallen ill with cancer and so the recipient of the e-mail offered to drive her to visit. Her husband would not allow her to go because he would be driving her. He went on to say that most of their communications were via e-mail because of her husband.

There wasn't any hint of an affair or anything like that, he was simply a friend.

Another Peterson search, but still no clues
By Jeff Long

Tribune staff reporter

8:08 PM CST, November 4, 2007

With their ranks swollen by increasing media attention, about 90 volunteers combed rural areas near Bolingbrook for a second day Sunday for clues to explain the disappearance of Stacy Peterson, the wife of a Bolingbrook police sergeant who was last seen Oct. 28.

Family, friends and strangers who just wanted to help fanned out across wetlands at Whalon Lake, part of the Will County Forest Preserve District, about 4 miles from the Peterson home. They also searched around Indian Boundary Park and other rural, wooded areas.

But they found no evidence to help police, said organizer Roy Taylor, son of the missing woman's neighbor.

"The family just needs to know," said Peterson's stepsister Debbie Forgue of Westchester. "We need to find her."

But by now, the relatives fear they will never find Peterson alive.

"I don't think we're looking for a person that's alive at this point," said another stepsister, Kerry Simmons of Riverside.

Taylor said Texas EquuSearch, a non-profit organization involved in hundreds of missing-person cases over the last several years, has agreed to join the search for Peterson.

As Forgue and the other volunteers inched across the wetlands surrounding Whalon Lake on Sunday morning, they looked for any unusual signs of disturbance in the ground. Local stores have donated two-way radios to assist the volunteer searchers, and about 600 fliers have been posted throughout the community.

Peterson, 23, a mother of two, was reported missing to Illinois State Police on Oct. 29 after she failed to meet her sister the day before to help paint a house.

Divers from the Naperville Police Department spent Thursday and Friday searching a 5-acre pond at Bolingbrook's Clow International Airport, just blocks from her home.

Her husband, Sgt. Drew Peterson, 53, has said he last saw her about 10 a.m. Oct. 28 and last spoke with her about 9 p.m. that day when she called on her cell phone to say she was leaving him.

Search For Missing Mom Brings In Houston Experts

Stacy Peterson's Neighbor Bothered By Earlier Conversations With Stacy, Early E-mails To Friend Ask Friend To Keep Her In Their Prayers

CBS 2's Rafael Romo, Katie McCall, and Mike Puccinelli contributed to this report.
BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) ― Ninety people came out to look for Stacy Peterson Sunday, and a search and rescue group from Houston is scheduled to meet with her family to take over their search efforts. Peterson's loved ones believe they are looking for her body.

As she and other friends plan the next search for 23-year-old Stacy Peterson, friend and neighbor Sharon Bychowski is haunted by what she says were many conversations about Peterson's desire to divorce her husband, Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson.

Update on Stacy Peterson Disappearance
by Greta Van Susteren
UPDATE - (MORE AT 10pm tonight on ON THE RECORD)

We have just obtained some documents in connection with of Sgt. Peterson’s wife #3. She kept a log of abuse…and we are working on corroborating the documents and you will hear more at 10pm tonight ON THE RECORD.

Plus, Sgt. Peterson has 18 incident reports at work - many of which may be insignificant and we are hearing that many are. The Police Chief will explain the incident reports tonight and discuss the investigation into wife #3’s death. Note he was not the Police Chief when wife #3 died so it was not his job at the time to investigate.  Note further that when he became Chief, no one alerted him to this now suspicious death.

This is unbelievable. I am an old friend of Drew's second wife. I moved away years ago and we lost touch. I heard the story on the radio and I got chills. Went home and watched the news. Saw a picture of the wife who died and for a moment panicked thinking it was my old friend. Long dark hair, she wore hers the same way. It wasn't until I heard her name that I realized this was not my old friend. Drew was very jealous, would not ever let her go any where or do anything. He spied on her, accused of of things, and they had major fights. He was married before her and had 2 boys who are probably in their 20's by now. I'm so thankful it was not her. I always hated how he treated her and am glad she was #2 not 3 or 4. He may not be guilty of anything, but he was certainly not a nice husband.

An article appeared using my friend's name. Her name was Vicki. She had no children with Drew. He had 2 boys with his first wife and Vicki had a good relationship with them. She had a daughter of her own from a previous relationship. She was a good mom. They lived on Seminole Drive at the time. Drew was under investigation at that time and he was very stressed. Drew treated her the same way her treated these next two wives. Extremely controlling. Lots of fighting and I told her many times that he was treating her badly. She had to lie to him even if she just wanted to have coffee with her girlfriends. He always made sure we knew he carried his damn gun. They bought a bar out in Montgomery, IL. I don't know how that turned out. My husband and I only went there once. I saw her again in the hospital after she was involved in a bad car accident on the way home from the bar. I moved away about a month later. We lost touch. This whole story gives me chills. I just am glad to hear she got away from him. I pray for these last 2 families. I hope for the sake of the children that Drew did not have anything to do with all of this. My heart tells me different.

I just returned from volunteering at the Person's neighbor's home where I was handing out fliers to be posted in establishments throughout the region. I took some to post in and around Lockport and Homer Glen.

Today they are coordinating with Tim Miller EQUUSEARCH and the police for tomorrow's field search. Tim and Roy took off before I packed it up and left myself. I will help in the search effort tomorrow.

The media is swarming the place and Stacy's best friend and neighbor gave a great interview this morning. She's a strong woman and a heck of an advocate for Stacy. Stacy has a lot of strong support. I spoke with her cousin who popped in to pick up some fliers and she is experiencing the same thing that Lisa's family is experiencing with the stress and the unanswered questions. She felt as I did about Stacy after reading a copy of the Email that was provided to the press, and that was that Stacy seemed to be quite mature for her young age of 23. It must have been extremely difficult to come to the understanding about the position of the relationship and make the decision to move forward and get out. That takes a great amount of personal strength and courage, especially given her situation.

I hope Stacy and Lisa are both found soon so the families can have closure and begin the healing process.

Tim Miller appears to be a remarkable man. They can have as many as 1800 people searching a huge radius. Speaking of that, does anyone have any ideas where they can establish a command center to run their search operation? They are in need of that and if anyone has any suggestions, please bring them forward. Tim Miller's group is an all volunteer group as an FYI. They will come in to do searches simply by a family member's request.

Hopefully, it is not information you need but it's good to know just in case or to pass along to someone who does need to know about it.

Roy was telling me about all the people Tim's group has found and it appears rather remarkable.

Matt, Roy was very thankful for your help yesterday.

Also, Free, the gentleman who provided the 6 wheelers has offered the use of his entire fleet of them in the search for Stacy. I'm certain he would do the same for Lisa.

Transcript of Dr. Baden's analysis of the 3rd wife's autopsy report:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,308199,00.html

Mysterious Death of Drew Peterson's Third Wife
Monday , November 05, 2007


  This is a rush transcript from "On the Record ," November 2, 2007. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, HOST: Stacy Peterson, wife number 4 of Sergeant Drew Peterson, is missing. She has not been seen since Sunday. And complicating matters for Sergeant Peterson tonight is that his third wife's bathtub death is now being re-investigated. A prosecutor has re-opened the investigation into her death. It was declared an accident at the time. The coroner said she drowned, but did she?

Joining us is forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden. Dr. Baden, we have gotten a copy of the autopsy report from wife number three's family.

DR. MICHAEL BADEN, FORENSIC PATHOLOGIST: Right.

VAN SUSTEREN: I take it you've looked at it now.

BADEN: I have it right here.

VAN SUSTEREN: And your thoughts on it?

BADEN: It is not an accident. The hair, her head hair, was soaked in blood, as the medical examiner says, and she had a laceration, a blunt force laceration on the top of her head. She had a dozen other black-and- blue bruises and scraping abrasions of the extremities and of the abdomen. It looks as if she — from the description that she was beaten up, apart from drowning. Her heart was good. Her brain was good. There were no drugs in her body on toxicology. There's no reason for her to have drowned. Adults don't drown if they're in good health.

VAN SUSTEREN: Dr. Baden, what would possess a coroner to call it accident? When I looked at it and I saw the hair full of blood, I thought, What's that? But I figured I just — you know, I went to law school and not medical school. What would possess this coroner to say this was an accident?

BADEN: Well, the doctor who did the autopsy, the pathologist who did the autopsy just said drowning. The non-physician coroner, who's elected, determined that it was also an accident. And he just made a mistake. I don't know...


VAN SUSTEREN: How is that a mistake? I mean — I mean, you look at it — I mean — I mean, is it an easy mistake, I should say? I mean, is this a close call, as you look at this?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: No.

VAN SUSTEREN: I mean, you don't have the body to examine. You're looking at the report. But is this a close call, in your mind?

BADEN: No, it's not a close call. It should not have been called an accident.

VAN SUSTEREN: Well, then how — then how can you say it was a mistake, if it's not a close call?

BADEN: Well, because it depends on the qualification of the coroner. Medical examiners have to be physicians. Coroners are often funeral directors.

VAN SUSTEREN: But the doctor who did the autopsy, when he hears that it was — it was in the news that it was an accident, I'm sure. I mean — I mean, what was he thinking of...

BADEN: Right.

VAN SUSTEREN: What was the — the man or woman who did the autopsy thinking when the coroner, who's not a doctor, says this is an accident? Wouldn't you think that someone would speak up, if it's as obvious as you say?

BADEN: Well, three years later, I think that the — an investigation is now being done to answer that very question that you're raising, Greta. And if that question had been looked into three years ago, possibly his wife wouldn't be — have disappeared at this time.

VAN SUSTEREN: It — and I suppose that it would make — it might be helpful — would it be helpful to exhume her, if she wasn't cremated? We only have 15 seconds.

BADEN: It might be — it would be, and under these circumstances, to see further whether there were any fractures or other injuries that were overlooked initially. There's no evidence that they took X-rays, for example. It would be important to exhume the body and do X-rays to see if there are any subtle fractures.

VAN SUSTEREN: And I must admit, if I were the prosecutor, I'd also take a look at the coroner and the medical examiner to see what was what, if it's...

BADEN: Absolutely.

VAN SUSTEREN: ... as obvious as you say, because I'll tell you, you know, it certainly doesn't look good, even as a layperson reading it, and now I hear you say this. Dr. Baden, thank you, sir.

BADEN: Thank you, Greta.

FYI - It's my understanding from reading various forums she was cremated

Texas group to help in Peterson search
By Hal Dardick and Erika Slife

Tribune staff reporters

12:54 PM CST, November 5, 2007

 The family of Stacy Peterson, the wife of a Bolingbrook police sergeant who disappeared eight days ago, is getting help from a national group in trying to find the 23-year-old mother of two young children.

Tim Miller, founder and director Texas EquuSearch said Monday in Bolingbrook that he has been in contact with the Illinois State Police, who are handling the investigation.

When asked what his group could add, he said, "We know this much: If nothing is done, there's zero chance of locating her."

"We have a lot of resources. We are here. We are ready to get started."


Stacy Peterson's sister, Cassandra Cales, who contacted EquuSearch, said she was comforted by the group's presence. "I was prepared for the worst, but I hope for the best. I just want to bring her home."

Miller would not disclose any search plans. "We're not going to take a chance on her being moved," he said.

EquuSearch's involvement came after groups of volunteers failed to find any trace of Peterson during weekend searches. She went missing Oct. 28, two days after telling her husband, Sgt. Drew Peterson, 53, that she wanted a divorce, according to Stacy's family members.

State police have searched Peterson's home and other locations, including a pond at nearby Clow International Airport, in what is still classified as a missing person case.

Peterson's previous wife, Kathleen Savio, was found drowned in her bathtub in 2004. Her death was ruled accidental, but Will County State's Atty. James Glasgow, who was not in office when that determination was made, is taking another look at the case "with an open mind," said spokesman Charles Pelkie.

Miller's 16-year-old daughter, Laura, was abducted and murdered in 1984, said Cindy Wisdom, case manager for the not-for-profit group founded in 2000. Miller's group initially used horse-mounted volunteers but the search methods have evolved.

They now employ helicopters, all-terrain vehicles, drone aircraft, sonar and other high-technology tools, but people on horseback are still utilized. "There are a lot of places a horse can go that even an ATV can't," Wisdom said. The group has opened cases on more than 800 missing people. It has found 300 and the remains of 76 others, Wisdom said.

"The idea is to bring home missing persons, dead or alive," she said.

In late September, the group found the body of Naomi Arnette, 36, the mother of seven, in a shallow grave in a wooded area about three miles from her house in Sadorus, south of Champaign, she said. Arnettte's husband, Robert, has been charged with her murder.

Police target 7 areas in Peterson search
Texas group poised to assist effort

By Hal Dardick and Erika Slife

Tribune staff reporters

2:50 PM CST, November 5, 2007

 Police today are searching seven "areas of interest" in their effort to find Stacy Peterson, the wife of a Bolingbrook police sergeant who went missing eight days ago, an Illinois State Police spokesman said.

Master Sgt. Louis Gutierrez declined to identify the areas being searched, but said all are based on the weeklong missing person investigation led by his agency.

At each site, seven police officers and a canine team, consisting of a handler and cadaver dog, are looking for Stacy Peterson, a 23-year-old mother of two young children.

Meanwhile, Cassandra Cales, Stacy's sister, contacted Texas EquuSearch and asked for the national organization's help in looking for Stacy, said Cindy Wisdom, case manager for the not-for-profit group founded in 2000 to help authorities find missing persons.

Tim Miller, the group's founder and director, is in the area speaking with Stacy's family and trying to set up a meeting with law-enforcement authorities, Wisdom said. "We don't enter a case unless family or law enforcement contact us, and we don't move forward with a case unless law enforcement agrees to work with us," she added.

Gutierrez said state police had yet to decide whether to bring EquuSearch into the effort. "We have been contacted by them."

After meeting Monday with Stacy's family and friends in Bolingbrook, Miller was asked what his group could add.

"We know this much: If nothing is done, there's zero chance of locating her," he said. "We have a lot of resources. We are here. We are ready to get started."

Miller would not disclose any search plans. "We're not going to take a chance on her being moved," he said.

Cales said she was comforted by the group's presence. "I was prepared for the worst, but I hope for the best. I just want to bring her home."

EquuSearch's involvement came after groups of volunteers failed to find any trace of Peterson during weekend searches. She went missing Oct. 28, two days after telling her husband, Sgt. Drew Peterson, 53, that she wanted a divorce, according to Stacy's family members. She is his fourth wife.

State police have searched Peterson's home and other locations, including a pond at nearby Clow International Airport, in what is still classified as a missing person case.

Peterson's previous wife, Kathleen Savio, was found drowned in her bathtub in 2004. Her death was ruled accidental, but Will County State's Atty.

Greta, You raised a very basic question Friday—how could the Coroner make such an obvious mistake in ruling that the death of Drew Peterson ’s Wife #3 was Accidental Drowning rather than Homicide given the history of spousal abuse, the order of protection, the autopsy evidence of a bloody beating before drowning, and the fact that healthy sober adults don’t drown accidentally in bathtubs. The death should have been classified as a Homicide which would have triggered a full police investigation. The Accidental classification required no further investigation. Similarly, the Coroner’s classification that the second Stanley sister died of Psychogenic Epilepsy—a here-to-fore unknown cause of death—has also raised concerns about the accuracy of death certifications.
Greta, the medical investigation of murder in this country is a national disgrace. One half of all U.S.counties have elected coroners rather than medical examiners who are physicians appointed on the basis of merit. Most coroners have little or no medical or scientific background (usually required only to be a U.S. citizen of voting age) and they have the legal responsibility of determining cause and manner of unnatural deaths. About ten states do not have a single forensic pathologist in the entire state. There are 60 murders every day in the U.S.; in more than half the perpetrator will not be convicted (so much for the perfect murder–most are!!) –and in some murders innocent people may be convicted. The medical/forensic investigation of murder is very uneven in this country and is conducted according to local county or state laws.(Almost all murder is local!) Perhaps we should consider establishing a federal Forensic Sciences General position to create a bully pulpit to improve unnatural death investigation in the entire country as the Surgeon General position has been able to improve public interest and research into natural diseases such as lung cancer, heart disease and breast cancer. michael baden

My cow died last night, so I don't need his bull. I'm with you, I'm just not buying his excuse that he needs to clear his head. More like, "the heat is on and I'm getting the hell outta here!"

He thinks he is as slick as an eel, now saying she called him and said she was leaving him.  :roll:

There was a bloody beating before the drowning and it was still ruled an accident??? The Coroner must be 2 tacos short of a Mexican Platter! That makes NO SENSE at all.

And I never knew some of the facts that Dr Baden mentioned in his email to Greta! WOW. Thanks for posting that and I give a big thumbs up to Dr Baden for speaking out about the outrageous state of equivocal death analysis in the country.

Peterson’s neighbor committed to finding missing woman

By Don Grigas, dgrigas@mysuburbanlife.com
GateHouse News Service
 Mon Nov 05, 2007, 05:22 PM CST


Romeoville, IL -

Sharon Bychowski, next-door neighbor to Stacy Peterson — the Bolingbrook mother of two who has been missing since Oct. 28 — said she is committed to finding Peterson and bringing her “back home.”

“There is no question, we will eventually find Stacy and bring her home,” said Bychowski. “I think I’ve slept two hours in four days, but I don’t care. I owe Stacy that much.”

Bychowski has spearheaded an effort by local volunteers to search for Peterson, and over the weekend more than 75 volunteers searched area wetlands, parks and lakes seeking clues into Peterson’s disappearance.

The search turned up no clues.

But by Monday afternoon, a team from Texas EquuSearch, a nonprofit organization specializing in conducting searches for missing persons, had arrived in Bolingbrook to set up headquarters at a local church, Bychowski said.

“They are out now establishing a headquarters at a local church and will be out looking for Stacy again tomorrow morning,” she said.


A man who identified himself as a member of the search team specializing in underwater sonar said Monday’s windy conditions would delay the search operation until Tuesday.

Illinois State Police spokesman Trooper Mark Dorencz said state investigators had searched  seven locations unsuccessfully on Monday.

Stacy Peterson, 23, wife of Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson, was reported missing by family members seven days ago.

Stacy’s sister, Cassandra Cales, said the last telephone contact she had with her sister was at about 10 a.m. Sunday. After that, all attempts to reach Stacy by cell phone were unsuccessful.

Drew Peterson, a 29-year veteran on the Bolingbrook Police Department, said he spoke to Stacy at about 9 p.m. Sunday, at which time he said Stacy told him she had left him.

At 4 a.m. Monday, family members filed a missing persons report with Illinois State Police.

Family members and friends close to Stacy said she never would have left her two children, Lacy, 2, and Anthony, 4, regardless of the circumstances.

Cales recently said she does not believe her sister is still alive.

“Whether or not I think Drew had anything to do with the disappearance is irrelevant. What is important is that Stacy felt threatened, and recently told me if she were to disappear, it would not be the result of an accident,” Bychowski said.

Stacy Peterson recently told Bychowski she wanted to get out of the marriage, Bychowski said.

Stacy Peterson first met Drew Peterson when she was 17, but over the last six years “Stacy had matured and wanted to get out,” Bychowski said.

Bychowski spent the last two days organizing volunteers from the garage attached to their home, and over two days more than 75 volunteers fanned out to walk through wetlands, parks and along bodies of water seeking clues into Stacey’s disappearance and distributing hundreds of fliers.

Bychowski said she knew Stacy and Drew Peterson for more than three years and Stacy “was a feisty person, quite a person” who regularly visited the Bychowski home.

“Her two children, Lacy and Anthony, were always here and Stacy came over almost daily. Sometimes she would cook for us in our kitchen,” said Bychowski.

Bychowski said she does not believe Drew Peterson’s story that Stacy called him Sunday night and told him she was leaving him for another man.

“That whole story is a farce, a bunch of bologna,” she said.


On Thursday, investigators from the Illinois State Police executed a search warrant for the Peterson home at 6 Pheasant Chase Court.

After a five-hour search, two vehicles were impounded, as well as cartons of other items. State police have not released the contents of the cartons removed from the Peterson home.

“Prior to the search warrant being executed, Drew came over and asked me if I would move his car into our driveway for him. I told him he could move it into the driveway but not the garage. We weren’t going to hide his car for him,” Bychowski said.

“I just didn’t feel comfortable with that request,” she said.


Shortly after Stacy Peterson was listed as missing, Bychowski said, Drew Peterson was asked for a photograph of Stacy Peterson to advertise her disappearance.

“He said he didn’t have one, even though the family went on a cruise recently in which Stacy personally told me she spent about $500 on photographs. To say there was no photograph of Stacy was ridiculous,” Bychowski said.

Authorities continue to list the case as that of a missing person, not a criminal investigation.

Last week the Will County state’s attorney’s office began re-examining the March 2004 case in which Drew Peterson’s third wife, Kathleen Savio, died in her bathtub while the two were going through a divorce.

According to Chuck Pelkie, spokesman for the state’s attorney’s office, “unique and unusual circumstances” surrounding Savio’s death triggered a review of the case.

Attempts to reach the Will County state’s attorney’s office today were unsuccessful.

Bychowski said the goal of the intensified search — she said EquuSearch has, in the past, provided up to 1,500 people as volunteers — is to keep the case fresh and in the public’s eye.

“All it could take is one small clue, something someone might have missed, to help locate Stacy,” Bychowski said.

Last week state police also searched local ponds without success.

Bychowski, who said the four children living in the Peterson home now are being cared for by one of Drew Peterson’s adult sons living in North Aurora, said she no longer is in contact with Drew Peterson.

“When he publicly said Stacy left him and implied she was with someone else, I couldn’t believe it. Drew just threw her under the bus, then backed up over her a few times,” she said.

New Tip Line, High-Tech Help In Search For Woman


Husband In Another High Profile Missing Woman's Case Offers Support To Drew Peterson

BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) ― While police investigators have been focusing on specific areas searching for missing mother Stacy Peterson, a group of volunteer searchers have brought in some heavy equipment to aid in the search.

As CBS 2's Dana Kozlov reports, the Illinois state police searched nine areas Monday, ending the effort around 6 p.m. A spokesperson says they found nothing.

Stacy Peterson's friends and family say they just want some sort of closure and hope an intensified search will give them that.

The not-for-profit group Equusearch has set up headquarters at the house next door to the Peterson's. The professional search team is looking for a command center, recruiting volunteers and will soon launch a full scale search for the 23-year-old mother of two.

The director of the group announced he would bring high-tech equipment, horse riders and volunteers to the search, but wouldn't say where they'll start. "There may be somebody who knows where she is. If we share it, we're not going to take a chance on her being moved," Tim Miller said.

Dennis Watters is the latest person to join the search. He's in town assisting Texas Equusearch and plans to use his sonar equipment to scan area lakes, ponds, rivers and quarries.

"We've recovered numerous bodies with it," Watters said. "It's gonna allow us to take very detailed pictures of the lakes and quarries in the area."


Peterson's been missing for more than a week. Her husband, Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, says he last spoke to his wife on October 28.

Miller says he hopes his cadre of volunteers can help.

"I think there's strength in numbers, so once we get our plans together we'll be calling for volunteers," Miller said.

Stacy Peterson's friends and family say she recently told them she was in a manipulative and controlling marriage.

"She did say to many of us, not just me in confidence, but many of us, that if anything happened to her it was not an accident. He killed her," said her friend and neighbor Sharon Bychowski.

The mystery is similar to the case of Lisa Stebic, the Plainfield mother who vanished last April. Her husband Craig Stebic, told the Chicago Sun-Times he relates to the Bolingbrook cop, saying, "I know what he's going through."

"Craig has cut us off from seeing Lisa's children. And yet I was almost speechless to hear that he found time to make sympathetic comments about drew Peterson," Melanie Greenberg, Lisa Stebic's cousin, said.

Bolingbrook police said they investigated 18 domestic complaints between Drew Peterson and his third wife, Kathleen Savio, who died accidentally in a bathtub in 2004.

"She told me that he would kill her; it would look like an accident but it wasn't," Savio's sister, Sue Doman, said.

Doman said Savio asked her to take care of her kids.

The Bolingbrook police chief said there were no domestic complaints between Drew Peterson and Stacy Peterson before now.

Friends and family have set up a new Web site, FindStacyPeterson.com, in hopes someone can provide clues into Stacy's disappearance.

Also, the Illinois State Police have set up a Stacy Peterson Tip Line at (815) 740-0678.

Texas Equusearch helped comb Aruba for teenager Natallee Holloway two years ago. She has never been found.

Now here's a smart group of law officers who are letting TES come in to help them. I had the pleasure of riding with Tim Miller and Donna Jou's father when they were in town concerning the missing young girl, Donna Jou.

Too bad LAPD and others powers in the LA tourist town and tourist county, Orange County didn't let TES come in right away. I even saw areas that could have been of great interest for evidence but as the weeks, months went on the area was clovered or cleaned.... who knows what evidence is lost now.

MISSING MOM SEARCH TEAM NEEDS HELP
HUNDREDS OF VOLUNTEERS HOPED FOR TO LOOK FOR STACY PETERSON TODAY


November 6, 2007
By Stefano Esposito sun-times news group


She has not slept in days. She's all but certain her sister is dead. But Cassandra Cales said Monday evening that the search for Bolingbrook mother Stacy Peterson must go on.

"She is giving me the strength and energy I need to push on," Cales said of her sister. "I haven't really slept in six or seven days. I try to sleep, but I just can't."

An all-volunteer Texas team that helped in the search for missing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway in Aruba is expected to lead search efforts this morning, Cales said.

The Texas EquuSearch Mounted Search and Recovery Team is equipped with divers, helicopters, dog teams, horses and foot teams. The founder of the team, Tim Miller, said he will have 15 people from his group but hopes "hundreds" of volunteers will show up for the search at 8 a.m. today at the Westbrook Christian Church in Bolingbrook, not far from the Peterson home. Plans are to search five "water areas" and two quarries.

"We have been extremely successful in the past," he said, adding that his team has helped find 250 people alive and the remains of 73 other people.

Another of the missing woman's relatives wonders where police investigators were Saturday and Sunday, when dozens of volunteers combed the area near Peterson's home looking for clues.

"Where are the police on this one? What are they doing?" said Suzan Robison, one of Peterson's aunts.

A spokesman for the state police said Monday there's a reason police weren't out searching during the weekend.

"We were actually in the process of organizing searches for [Monday]," said Trooper Mark Dorencz, a state police spokesman. "I can assure you we are working on this case day and night." Dorencz said teams of eight officers and a search dog focused Monday on seven areas, which he declined to identify.

Are investigators talking to Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson?

"We are focusing on Stacy and finding Stacy," Dorencz said.

Although Stacy Peterson told relatives in the days leading up to her disappearance last week that she was afraid of her husband and wanted a divorce, Drew Peterson is not considered a suspect in the case, Dorencz said.

"He has been cooperative in the investigation," he said.

Bolingbrook Police Chief Raymond McGury said the department received no reports of problems in the marriage.

Fresh look at a past death
Investigators will try to talk to Stacy Peterson's children to see if they know anything of her whereabouts.
"We would like to talk to the kids," said Charles B. Pelkie, spokesman for State's Attorney James Glasgow. "We will be taking steps to make that happen in the near future."

Stacy Peterson is Drew Peterson's fourth wife. His third wife died under mysterious circumstances in March 2004. Glasgow is turning a fresh eye to that case to see if the death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, warrants criminal charges.

Stacy and Drew Peterson have two children, ages 2 and 4. Drew Peterson also has two minor children from his marriage to Savio and two older children from a previous marriage.

Another missing mother
Glasgow's office has been trying to get information from the children of another missing mother. Their efforts to speak with the children of Lisa Stebic, of Plainfield, have been thwarted by their father, Craig Stebic, who police have labeled "a person of interest" in the case.
Lisa Stebic has been missing for more than six months. Searches and billboards have failed to turn up any clues to her whereabouts. Police initially talked to her children, but the state's attorney's office would like to do a more in-depth interview. At the advice of his lawyer, Craig Stebic has forbidden that.

"We made it clear we want to talk to these children, too," Pelkie said. "It's the same position. We'll be taking steps in the near future to find out what these children know about the disappearance of their mother."

"We would like to talk to the kids," said Charles B. Pelkie, spokesman for State's Attorney James Glasgow. "We will be taking steps to make that happen in the near future."

Wonder why they have not talked to the kids yet?  Maybe Drew will not let them, like Craig Stebic.  It just seems to me, regardless of your feelings for your spouse, good or bad, that is the other parent of your child.  Unless you have something to hide, wouldn't you want for the sake of your children to help find that person and if your children for their own sakes want to talk to the police, or might could help, wouldn't it be encouraged?

I can tell you, I have absolutely NOTHING for my husband's ex-wife.  His daughter at 15 went missing with a friend in Fl about the same time as Natalee.  Fortunately, it was a couple of hours, and the out come was good, but still, when my step daughter's mother called distraught, to give us the details, in the midst of her dragging him through court, no less, all of that went out the window and everything focused on finding this kid.  My heart went out to her. 

I guess my point is, if you love your kids and you aren't hiding anything, mad or not that she may have ran off with some one, do what ever it takes to find her for your kids ...

This is just infuriating to me.  I know they are looking for evidence and have to build a case, but I am pretty sure Ray Charles could see what has happened here.

God Bless Tim and the other searchers and I pray they find her.

Volunteers Join Search For Stacy Peterson

Steve Miller Reporting
 
CHICAGO (WBBM) - The search for Stacy Peterson, the Bolingbrook woman missing for eight days now, is getting some help from a Texas- based group of volunteers.

WBBM's Steve Miller reports.

The group is called Equusearch, and its founder is Tim Miller, whose own daughter was abducted and murdered in Texas in 1984.

Stacy Peterson's sister Cassandra Cales says she is relieved now that Miller and his group have come to Bolingbrook to help search.

"We spoke until about 4 in the morning and we discussed everything... and he just took over.  And it felt good."

"Now that Tim Miller is here with Equusearch, I just feel like ten pounds of weight off my shoulders, you know?  It doesn't mean I'm stopping.  I'm still continuing."


Illinois State Police say nine areas were searched yesterday. Each team had a canine unit - and that an airplane searched each of the nine areas.

State police have set up a hotline for tips on Stacy Peterson's whereabouts: 815-740–0678.

I have tremendous confidence in TES!  My prayers are with them today for this search.

Klaas will keep us updated, I am sure and will be watching for any news.

Maybe my divorce was exceptional but we would never do anything that would negatively effect our kids and they are adults now.  This man is our age and old enough to know better.  But then considering what he is suspected of, I guess failure to consider the children is minor in comparison with what he may have done.

Has war been declared on women and children and I missed it?  What's going on these days!

Court filings tell story

November 6, 2007
By STEWART WARREN STAFF WRITER
JOLIET -- Although we don't know much about Stacy Peterson's disappearance, we know other things.

They are found in files at the Will County Courthouse.

Knit together, these facts tell something about Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson, the missing woman's much-older husband. For example, while married to another woman, Drew Peterson, 53, owned several businesses and life insurance policies -- and that third wife later was found drowned in a bathtub without any water.

Fourth wife Stacy Peterson, a 23-year-old mother of two, hasn't been seen since Oct. 28. The young woman was supposed to help family members paint a house, but never showed. Drew Peterson claims his wife simply deserted him, but a family member reported her missing.


Savio's death

In early 2002, Drew Peterson and Kathleen Savio, the third wife, began divorce proceedings, according to court documents. They had been married about 10 years and had two children. In late 2003, Will County Judge Susan O'Leary dissolved their marriage. Their divorce was "bifurcated," in this case meaning they were allowed to divorce before their common property was divided, according to court documents.

Then in March 2004, a neighbor found Savio dead in the dry bathtub at her Bolingbrook home. It was an accident, Will County Coroner Patrick K. O'Neil ruled. The 40-year-old woman suffered blunt trauma and a lacerated scalp, injuries consistent with a fall that could have knocked her unconscious, according to the inquest. By that time, Drew Peterson already was involved with the then-Stacy Cales, who was 17 when they met.

After Savio died, there was a Will County probate case to settle her financial affairs. Well-known local lawyer Dick Kavanagh was the public administrator of Will County, a governor-appointed position. Simply put, the public administrator tries to find the fairest way to settle an estate after a death, among other things.


A will emerges

A year after Savio's death and the beginning of the legal proceedings to settle her affairs, a will emerged. It was submitted in court on March 23, 2005. Hand-written in capital letters, it was scrawled across two pieces of lined notebook paper and witnessed by Alex J. Morelli and Gary L. Marcolina.

A man named Alex Morelli is a Bolingbrook police officer, and Herald News archives show a man named Gary Marcolina is a developer in the Crest Hill area.

"This day March 2nd 1997 Drew Walter Peterson and Kathleen Savio Peterson, both being of sound body and mind, do hereby bequeath all of our worldly possessions to each other in the event of either of our individual deaths," begins the will filed with court documents.

If they died together, the couple wanted everything to go to certain people, among them Tom and Kris Peterson, their children, and Eric Drew Peterson and Stephen Paul Peterson, Drew Peterson's children from another relationship.

The will lists some of their assets:


• A Golden Rule life insurance policy valued at $100,000


• A Monumental Life Insurance policy valued at $125,000


• A Prudential Life Insurance policy valued at $308,137.59 -- "Beneficiary Merchants Bank Oswego to pay off note for Sud's Pub in Montgomery," according to the will.


• Bolingbrook Police Pension fund of more than $50,000


• A piece of real estate listed as 9 Clay Court, Montgomery


• The Blue Lightning Corp., or Sud's Pub, 1250 S. Broadway, Montgomery


• Da Page Corp., Fast 'N' Accurate Graphics, 87 Eisenhower South, Lombard


• A quarter interest in CMYK Corp., listed as a printing business in "Lombard-Naperville," according to the will.


Division of property issues

The will names James B. Carroll, Drew Peterson's uncle, executor of the estate, according to a document filed in court by Kavanagh, who apparently had some concerns.
"After my appointment as administrator, I conferred with attorney Harry Smith with respect to the status of the property settlement portion of the divorce proceeding ... (He) advised me that there were three major issues with respect to the division of property ... 1. Whether Kathleen's estate would be entitled to any portion of Drew Peterson's pension; 2. The valuation of the business known as the Blue Lightning Corp., which has been sold with all of the proceeds going to Drew Peterson; and 3. The value of the house, and whether Kathleen Peterson's estate would be entitled to receive not only her one-half of the proceeds of any sale, but an additional portion of the remaining one-half as an offset for the cash taken by Drew Peterson from the sale of the (bar)," Kavanaugh wrote in court documents.

On April 8, 2005, Will County Judge Michael Powers entered a judgment in the financial aspects of the divorce case. It awarded Drew Peterson the Blue Lightning Corp. and all the proceeds from the sale of the couple's home, according to the court documents filed by Kavanagh. The judgment also mentions what seems to be a fourth life insurance policy.

"(It) provided that Drew Peterson would not be obligated to fund any college expenses for the minor children of the parties due to the fact that life insurance on the life of Kathleen in the amount of $1 million had been payable to the children," according to the document.

As part of the judgment, Carroll agreed that some money from Savio's estate should go to someone other than the four children. "The effect of the judgment was to transfer anywhere from $144,117.65 to $288,235.31 (one-half to all of the proceeds of the home sale) from the four children who were the beneficiaries of the estate ... to Drew Peterson," according to court documents.

Kavanagh didn't approve of that move, apparently.

"The actions of (Carroll) were not in the best interest of the estate or the beneficiaries," he wrote in a court document.

All she knew was abuse, turmoil

November 6, 2007
By Jennifer Golz Staff writer
Abuse, alcoholism and instability were key characteristics of the Cales children's household growing up.

It may explain why Stacy Peterson, 23, found what she thought to be stability and security in the arms of a man 30 years her senior, Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson.


Linda Cales, 54, last saw her stepdaughter five years ago, but has remained in contact with her throughout the years. Cales married Stacy's father, Anthony Cales, in the mid-90s and remained in the family and children's lives until their divorce in 2002.

"She was blinded by the security," Linda Cales said of Stacy's marriage to an older man. "(Drew Peterson) is the same age as her father, in fact he's a year older than her dad."

But it wasn't a father-figure that Stacy was seeking, Linda Cales said, at least not a father like her own.

"The abuse was there," she said. "He would want to discipline the kids and spank them when he was drunk. He would say things to the girls like, 'You better be nothing like your slut mom.'"

It's been nearly 10 years since Stacy's mother, Christie Cales, has been heard from, as she has seemingly disappeared without a trace. But in the early years of Anthony and Linda Cales' marriage, Christie was still around.

"She always up and vanished and then all of a sudden she would show up wanting to see the kids," she said. "She wasn't exactly the model mother.

"I was taking care of the kids and they looked at me as if I was Mom."

When Linda and Anthony Cales decided to divorce around 2000, it was their stepmother with whom the kids wanted to live, according to Linda Cales.

Seeking stability
According to Dr. Nadia Persun, associate professor of psychology of North Central College, children need a routine in order to feel safe and stable.
She says Stacy may not have had the ability to recognize danger because of her unstable past.

"A child who is misguided and handicapped emotionally may be obedient and submissive, and if someone comes with ill intentions, they may be manipulated because they may lack confidence and an internal compass," Persun said.

And at just 17 years old, Stacy began dating a married Drew Peterson, who was then 47.

"His wife (the now deceased Kathleen Savio) divorced him because she found out about the affair," Linda Cales said. "At that point Anthony should have stepped in.

"If I would have known about it, I would have flown to Illinois and said, "Oh no, this is not going on."

Her father's alcoholism, coupled with abuse and the lack of a home base may have contributed to Stacy having a lack of identity and therefore seeking comfort in an older man who could tell her what to do and who she was, Persun said.

"It makes you more likely to become prey to someone if they have ill intentions because you are more hungry for affection and more in need to find stability," she said.

Linda Cales says Stacy's mistake was telling Drew Peterson she wanted a divorce, something friends and family have confirmed since the mother of two went missing nine days ago.

"You get the hell out and then file," she said. "If you're afraid of the man, you don't tell him you want to divorce him.

"I know Stacy," Linda Cales said. "I was her stepmom for six years; she would not have left her kids."

Search Team Combs Forest For Stacy Peterson

Team Founder: 'Something Probably Bad Happened To Her'
 Reporting

Mike Puccinelli ROMEOVILLE, Ill. (CBS) ― A national organization known for finding missing persons joined Tuesday in the search for Stacy Peterson, the 23-year-old Bolingbrook mother who has now been gone for nine days.

As CBS 2 West Suburban Bureau Chief Mike Puccinelli reports, Peterson disappeared just one day before she was supposed to meet her divorce attorney. She was married to Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, who was three decades her senior.

The non-profit group Texas Equusearch has set up headquarters at the house next to the Peterson, and has now launched a full-scale search for the mother of two.

On Tuesday, Equusearch brought in more than a dozen professional searchers, accompanied by about 30 volunteers. The group's leader said the cold conditions likely kept some more volunteers away on Tuesday.

The leader, Tim Miller, also said the winds Tuesday will prevent them from launching their drone aircraft, but ground and water searches should not be tremendously affected by the adverse conditions.

"We're here for one reason, again, and that's because Stacy's missing," Miller said. "Unfortunately, I think enough time has gone by that we still hold that little glimmer of hope, but we've worked 790 of these cases, and past experience lets us know that something probably bad happened to her."

As of 11 a.m., searchers were looking for Stacy on the Isle a la Cache Forest Preserve, located on an island in the Des Plaines River.

Drew Peterson has not shown up, and so far has not assisted in any of the searches. He said he last saw his wife Sunday morning, and claimed to have spoken to his wife Sunday night. He said she told him she was leaving him.

But Stacy's family calls this absurd, and said she would never willingly leave her children.

Friends and family have set up a new Web site, FindStacyPeterson.com, in hopes someone can provide clues into Stacy's disappearance.

Also, the Illinois State Police have set up a Stacy Peterson Tip Line at (815) 740-0678

 Donations needed!!
I just returned from the command center in Bolingbrook. I took coffee & instant hot chocolate & cups etc. I was shocked, there were hardly any donations at all.

In fact, one of the volunteers had just left to go to a grocery store to buy things.

I have notified several local radio stations & tv stations to get the word out. I could not believe that there was hardly anything there, figured that they would hardly need what I had brought.

Anyway, I picked up flyers & donation sheets for hubby to put up at work.

I saw one helicopter flying near the church and about 3 tv stations in the parking lot of the church.

There were 3 volunteers in the small room at the church, all wearing green shirts with findrachel.com on the back of the shirts.

There wasn't much activity by the church, the volunteers had left out of there already.

On my way home, I saw a Buffalo Grove, Il. ( which is up north of Bolingbrook) squad car about 2 miles from the Peterson home, by a creek with a search dog.

I went past the rock quarry but if they were there, you could not see as the driveway in is long & you cannot see much.

Hopefully, the radio & tv stations will get the word out that they need donations.

They have no phones in the room, other than their personal cell phones, so there is no way to reach them, but just drop off donations, they will be greatly appreciated.

They did not ask me to do this, but I felt like I should try to get more help for the volunteers who are giving up their time & effort.

Someone needs to call some of the local restaurants and stores to bring food and water and beverages for the searchers.

I think someone would respond if asked directly.  Each will think another doing it.  I hope they just ask directly and say what they want--sandwiches, drinks, whatever but a specific direct request would stand the best chance of getting a response.

This is Odd…by Greta Van Susteren
Not home?

I am on the phone with my producer Steph Watts in Illinois and here is what he is telling me: the Illinois State Troopers have been to Sgt. Peterson’s house twice (two thirty yesterday afternoon and again at ten thirty last night.) They have some papers to serve him….we don’t know if subpoena, search warrant, arrest warrant, grand jury summons or something insignifcant but here is the headline: they can’t find him (or at least that is what Steph is hearing…)

An hour ago Steph spoke to Sgt. Peterson’s good friend Ric who confirms that Sgt. Peterson is not at his house. However, Ric is in telephone communication with Sgt. Peterson.

It is very possible - and even reasonable - that Sgt. Peterson would want to get away from the glare of the media. The media is parked out in front of his house. What strikes me as odd is the thought - we have no proof - that the Illinois State Troopers don’t know where he is. Would you not think they would stay in constant communication? Maybe they are and we just don’t have that information…

As soon as we have an update, we will post it.

Smaller-Than-Expected Crew Continues Search For Peterson
Mom Missing Since Oct. 29

POSTED: 1:32 pm CST November 6, 2007
UPDATED: 2:11 pm CST November 6, 2007


BOLINGBROOK -- A smaller-than-expected group of about 40 volunteer searchers turned out today to poke through brush near the Des Plaines River in hopes of finding out what happened to missing Bolingbrook mom Stacy Peterson.



(http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o100/klaasen3/Sub2/Search1.jpg)

(http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o100/klaasen3/Sub2/Search2.jpg)

(http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o100/klaasen3/Sub2/Search3.jpg)

 

The cold, windy conditions kept a volunteer group, Texas Equusearch Mounted Search and Recovery Team, from using search dogs, horses and an aerial drone in the hunt for the 23-year-old Peterson, who was reported missing on Oct. 29.

That left the bulk of the searching up to about 40 volunteers who gathered at a Bolingbrook church this morning, then spread out to several sites in the Bolingbrook area.

That number “is far less than what we anticipated,” said Tim Miller, director of the Texas-based search team.

“We’re kind of getting off to a slow start, a cold start,” Miller added.

One group of about 15 searchers waded through brush and tall grass along a utility right-of-way not far from the Des Plaines River near Romeoville.

“That wasn’t easy at all,” said Fred Stanford, as he pushed through brush 10 feet tall.

Aside from finding several old shotgun shells and a few empty, rusting 55-gallon drums, the searchers there turned up no signs of Peterson by 11:15 a.m.

Some searchers knew Peterson while others like Stanford were strangers but wanted to help.

“I just live in the area and think it’s my duty to get out and do this,” said Stanford, a Bolingbrook resident.

Suz Elder, who brought her granddaughter along with her in the search, went to church with Peterson and decided she should do what she can to find the missing woman.

“She’s a friend of mine,” Elder said. “I guess we’re just trying to eliminate the places she could be."

OTR Producer Steph Watts On the Phone Right Now ! What’s Going On At Sgt. Peterson’s Home?
by Greta Van Susteren

WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW AT SGT. PETERSON’S HOUSE? AND WHERE IS HE?

5:49pm - Producer Steph Watts is on the phone to me right now……he is outside Sgt. Peterson’s home and there is no other media. As Steph was just standing there,  3 unmarked and 2 marked police cars arrived. Two of the unmarked cars pulled into the driveway…police got out and went around to the back of the house….gone about 5 minutes…then returned to their cars and left. They had papers in their hands.

The other unmarked left a short time after and now the two marked cars remain.

Note: they did NOT knock on the front door and Sgt. Peterson’s friend Ric told Steph awhile ago that Sgt. Peterson is in his home.

What’s going on? We are trying to figure it out…..

In the link above, there are photos from this morning's search. I just returned from the afternoon search as I had to get home to tend to earthly matters.

I was teamed with Matt in this morning's search and in the photo on this news article, Matt is the one with the orange gloves.

We covered a lot of ground but there is sooooo much more to cover. Those who wish to searhc for Lisa should consider joining in the search for Stacy because you never know what you will find.

I found a bone that is most likely a deer bone, it was old. Not too far from is was a dear skull as Matt expertly revealed to us along with the young one's approximate age based on the teeth structure.

Tim Miller wasn't able to get any of the drones in the air due to the forceful winds. He called me on my cell and asked if I had any contacts that may be able to assist there since yesterday I sent them the contact info for Clow Airport. Long story short, on such late notice (less than an hour ago), we couldn't get any planes or helicopters for the search effort but we will have some tomorrow morning. Tim said it's hard to tell how long their team will be here but they should be here at least till the weekend and beyond that just depends.

The search will continue tomorrow with volunteers meeting at the church at 8:00 AM. For anyone interested, please join the effort and meet us tomorrow morning at 1175 Lily Cache Lane, Bolingbrook.

I saw Melanie when I first walked in and she was there when I returned from the 1st search about 11:30 AM. We set out on our 2nd search at about 12:40 PM. Melanie was still there and was giving interviews throughout the day, I presume.

We could use more help if anyone can volunteer the time.

Peterson Searchers Find Clue At Construction Site


Mike Puccinelli BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) ― Professional searchers and volunteers stepped up their search for a missing Bolingbrook woman on Tuesday.

CBS 2 West Suburban Bureau Chief Mike Puccinelli reports they may have stumbled upon a clue to the disappearance of Stacy Peterson.

The 23-year-old mother of two has been missing for nine days. Tuesday, more than 40 searchers spent most of the day combing through wooded areas in and around Bolingbrook for any sign of her.

They were joined by professional searchers from Texas Equusearch, a group that's assisted in more than 700 searches around the world. They did find something interesting at a construction site. The founder of the group says he plans to show the find to police first thing Wednesday morning because the area could possibly have been used to conceal a body. However, search leaders would not elaborate on the find.

Also Wednesday, the family of Stacy Peterson is calling on voluntters to meet at Westbrook Christian Church, 1175 Lily Cache Lane in Bolingbrook at 8am to join the search for the missing woman. They say they need all the help they can get.

Pam Bosco, a close family friend of Stacy Peterson's family they still have hope, and while they realize the searchers could return with bad news, they're anxious for any information. "We all need closure to some degree, so whatever the searchers bring to us will be an answer," Bosco said.

She also said Drew Peterson, Stacy Peterson's husband, is not allowing Bosco to see the couple's two children and she expressed concern about Drew Peterson's demeanor.

"I don't think there's been any expression of any emotion," Bosco said. "Drew, if you're concerned, if you're angry, saddened, something, we want to know how you feel, help us, help us find Stacy."

Drew Peterson has not assisted in any of the searches. He said he last saw his wife the morning of Sunday, Oct. 28, and claimed to have spoken to his her that night. He said she told him she was leaving him.

CBS 2 also contacted one of Drew Peterson's sons from his first marriage. He didn't want to go on camera, in part he said, out of fear of his dad.

Friends and family have set up a new Web site, FindStacyPeterson.com, in hopes someone can provide clues into Stacy's disappearance.

Illinois State Police have set up a Stacy Peterson Tip Line at (815) 740-0678.

Or afraid of what he might do later?  Maybe more needed not from that area who would not have to live around him.  Better yet, put him in jail while searching.

I know, I know they have to have evidence and all that but still, then people would know where he was and he couldn't see who was searching.  Maybe they have found something.

I think if Stacy was alive, she would have spoken out by now.

New Search Warrant Executed In Search For Woman

BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) ― Prosecutors say a new search warrant has been issued and executed for the home of a Bolingbrook police sergeant whose wife has disappeared.

As CBS 2's Mai Martinez reports, the Petersons neighbors said investigators arrived at the home at around 8 p.m. Tuesday night. They were escorted by Bolingbrook police. Neighbors also say that Stacy Peterson's husband, Drew Peterson, was not home at the time of the search.

Neighbors told CBS 2 the state investigator police went into the home with a nylon bag and a camera. They reportedly spent less than an hour inside, but when the investigators came out, neighbors say, they clearly had something in the bag but it was not apparent what that was.

This is the second search state police have executed at the Peterson home since Stacy Peterson was reported missing last week. The missing woman's friends and family say Tuesday night's search is a good sign that the investigation into her disappearance is moving forward.

"My street has been nothing but cars to cars, and we've all been in there, in the entire neighborhood really waiting for what's going to happen," said Stacy Peterson's neighbor and friend Sharon Bychowski. "We just really want to make you guys focus that our ultimate focus here is not about Drew tonight. It's really about finding Stacy Peterson and bringing her home."



Meanwhile, volunteers and members of the nonprofit search group Texas EquuSearch spent the day looking for 23-year-old Stacy Peterson, who has been missing since October 29.

CBS 2 West Suburban Bureau Chief Mike Puccinelli reports they may have stumbled upon a clue to the disappearance of Stacy Peterson.

Searches for missing Bolingbrook woman come up empty
By Matthew Walberg and Erika Slife

Tribune staff reporters

6:37 AM CST, November 7, 2007

 Scores of police and volunteers combed more than a dozen areas in search of a missing Bolingbrook woman without success Tuesday.

Illinois State Police investigators searched for Stacy Peterson at five locations—using all-terrain vehicles, cadaver-sniffing dogs and an airplane fitted with infrared sensors—but found no sign of her, said state police spokesman Luis Gutierrez.

Meanwhile, nearly 50 volunteers joined a search organized by a private group, Texas EquuSearch, to comb six wooded areas and three bodies of water around Romeoville and Bolingbrook.

The group's founder and director, Tim Miller, said searchers were looking for any patches of earth that appeared to have been recently disturbed. Miller said a few sites identified in Tuesday's search would be re-examined Wednesday, including one at a construction site.

Investigators Tuesday night executed a new search warrant at the home of Peterson's husband, Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, 53. Will County state's attorney's office spokesman Charles Pelkie said he couldn't offer any details about the warrant.

Peterson, 23, was last seen by her husband on Oct. 28 when she left the couple's home on Pheasant Chase Court to help her sister Cassandra Cales paint a home.

Her husband told police he last heard from her that night, when she called him on her cell phone.

He later said his wife called to tell him that she was leaving him, and that he believed she was with someone else—a statement her family disputes.

Cales pleaded Tuesday for more volunteers after fewer people than expected showed up to join the search, and Miller said a similar missing-person case in Ohio drew 1,800 volunteers. "We didn't have as many people today as we were hoping for, but that's OK," Miller said. "I think the weather conditions held us back."

Sherrie Mills, a close friend of Stacy Peterson, said she has slept only about three hours in the last day and a half, spending much of her time driving around looking for locations where a body might be hidden.

"It's very frustrating," Mills said. She praised investigators for the way they were dealing with friends and family and for their quick response to tips.

"I think the state police are doing a great job," Mills said. "I feel . . . [they are] trying to cover as much ground as they can."

Drew Peterson started dating Stacy Cales when he was 47 and she was 17, and they married two years later. But her family said the marriage of four years had grown troubled, saying the sergeant—married three previous times—was controlling. They said that two days before her disappearance Stacy Peterson told her husband she wanted a divorce and told her sister that she feared for her life.

Gutierrez said investigators went to the Petersons' home Monday with papers for the police sergeant, but no one answered the door. He would not describe the papers, saying only that they were part of the investigation.

Greta,
I want to clear this up. So much happend right before I went on the show, Steph called to tell me that he was running late due to the State Police being at Drew’s. Right after that Drew called me, and contiuned to call during the broadcast.I made a mistake when you ask me the last time I talked to him, I sorry but as my suspicions grow, This is taking it’s toll on me, I feel like I am walking around in a daze. The phone calls that I recieved from Drew right before your show shook me up. ( yes I have access to my phone records to prove he was calling me.)

Not sure.  If he was looking over to another room, maybe someone was watching from afar, through a crack in a door.

Mim's is definately looking at someone for reassurance.

Update from Bolingbrook, Illinois…. From The Producers on the Ground There
by Greta Van Susteren

If you watched last night’s show, you know that last night (about 8pm-9m central time) another search warrant was executed at the home of Sgt. Drew Peterson and his missing wife Stacy. Sgt. Peterson was NOT home at the time. Something was carried out of the house but we have no idea what it was.

Right now our producer and former LAPD Mark Furham are on the ground in Bolingbrook continuing to cover the story. They are speaking to people who know Stacy and Drew…family members….neighbors….searchers…police etc. (And here is a tease: Steph just called me with, “you won’t believe this!” He then told me and I agreed it was weird….and said, “get a second source.” If what Steph told me can be confirmed, there is another very strange development in this story. (It is so strange that I dare not mention it until we are 300 per cent sure!!) Check back here because I will post it the SECOND we get it second sourced.

I agree he is looking at someone.  Was he looking at someone who set up the camera in his house.  I found this guy to be very strange and he was hiding something.  I keep watching his actions and I did notice when he slipped up.  What I am wondering is if this guy help his friend dispose of her body.

Maybe Mim is trying to signal with his eyes where Peterson is or being held hostage or something.

If Peterson has a cell phone himself, I can't believe they do not know exactly where he is.  Maybe just watching to see what he will do next.

I wonder what Greta finds so strange and if she will tell us.

Could that police report be enough with all the injuries listed in it?  I could understand the water could have slowly leaked out of the tub, mine does leak slowly, too, but perhaps there were injuries that were just too inconsistent with a fall in a tub?  I mean something like injuries on both the front and back of the head for example.  Or scratches that would be just totally inconsistent with something happeneing in a bath tub.

I don't know but I do think that having him off the streets might also make people talk more.  Problem is, unless he is held without bail, he might have the money to make bail and be right back out again silencing people who might otherwise tell what they know.

But wouldn't it have to be Savio as they are still looking for Peterson and have no evidence of anything yet?

We had a case here a few years ago that seems eerily similar.

Here's all I could find (but I didn't look too hard).

Greensboro, N.C. - Pretrial motions in murder trial of Tim Buczkowski, who is accused of drowning his first wife in a bathtub. He is expected to be tried later on a charge of drowning his second wife in a hot tub in Pennsylvania.

BTW- he was convicted...

This was posted at the CTV forum:

Just found this at: http://www.state.il.us/COURT/Circui...GrandJuror.asp:

THE GRAND JURY
The Constitution and laws of Illinois provide that no person shall be brought to trial for a crime punishable by death or by imprisonment in the penitentiary unless either the initial charge has been brought by indictment of a grand jury or the person has been given a prompt preliminary hearing and a judge has found probable cause.

In cases presented to the grand jury, the grand jury has a dual function. It determines that a person should be charged or prosecuted for a criminal act when it finds there is probable cause to believe the person has committed an offense. At the same time, it protects the innocent from unfounded accusation of crime and from the trouble, expense, and anxiety of a trial when there is, in fact, insufficient evidence to believe the accused is guilty of any criminal offense. The grand jury thus stands between the citizen and the State, pledged to bring before the Court, to answer to a charge of having committed a crime, persons against whom there is evidence of guilt and to prevent the unjust indictment of those who are accused of crime without sufficient evidence or because of private motives or popular feelings.

From what I saw on Greta last night Dr. Baden said the autopsy shows she had been beaten up.  She had blood soaked hair and dozen different bruises on her body. Fresh bruises on her body.

Right San - how did they miss that? or was this all about corruption? I think I can take a guess knowing what his job title actually is...

A few years ago . . . maybe like 9 . . . there was a Treasury or State Dept employee that was found dead on a Monday or Tuesday.. right after the Thanksgiving weekend. Well, she apparently took off all her clothes and then beat herself to a bloody pulp....and guess what - yep..ruled suicide.

Grand Jury …

by Greta Van Susteren
As many of you know, before I jumped ship from law to media, I was a criminal defense lawyer.  If I were Sgt. Peterson’s lawyer - guilty or innocent - I would not let him testify before the grand jury without a grand of immunity.  And, in usual circumstances, this is not the type of case where a prosecutor would give a spouse immunity.

I doubt a prosecutor will give him immunity…if I were the DA, I would not….no matter what we all should think (eg presume innocent), we are suspicious of him, and thus he is the liikely TARGET of the grand jury and no prosecutor in his right mind would give the target immunity. Greta

The third wife had written a letter to the DA that in the event of her death, he should be suspected and yet that just got ignored?

Message from Colleague FNC’s Jamie Colby
by Greta Van Susteren

My colleague Jamie Colby (also a lawyer…and she was in Illinois last week) just messaged me that Sgt.Peterson’s wife #3 (the one who died in a bathtub) was NOT cremated.  This means that the authorities may elect to exhume her body in their re- investigation.  What would they look for? Dr. Baden can tell us best…but I do know one thing, they would look for fractures since that might indicate this was not an accidental death.  It would not be a proof - only a clue indicating.

Of course they also will look at other important clues: hair full of blood….bruises ..

I suppose a defense attorney could say somthing hit her on top of the head and then she got into the bath tub, etc.  They always explain everything away no matter how farfetched.

Peterson searchers include group on horseback
By Matthew Walberg and Erika Slife

Tribune staff reporters

1:38 PM CST, November 7, 2007

 Volunteers on foot and horseback, in boats and airplanes, resumed their search Wednesday morning for Stacy Peterson, 23, the Bolingbrook mother who has been missing for 11 days.

Close to 60 volunteers turned out, including a team of eight women and their horses from the Fox Valley Trail Riders. The women--carrying machetes, pliers and fence cutters--are experienced in clearing brush, said Marni McClennan, owner of Newark-based Saddle Up Stables and organizer of the equestrian search group.

Meanwhile, volunteers with sonar equipment resumed their search of a nearby body of water on private property in Plainfield, said Dennis Watters, of St. Louis, who volunteered the use of his equipment. "I think we're going to pick up where we left off yesterday."

Tim Miller, director of the non-profit search and rescue group Texas EquuSearch, which is organizing the volunteer effort, said dogs and all-terrain vehicles were also in use this morning at four locations, and he expected a helicopter and small plane would scan the areas this afternoon.

"Everyday we'll generate more people, and it will get bigger and bigger and that's good," Miller said. "There's a lot of strength in numbers, and the more area we cover, the chances are we come up with something."

Police suspended their search effort Wednesday morning in order to review evidence that has been collected, said Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Luis Gutierrez.

"They're re-evaluating all the evidence they have and are deciding where to go with the case," Gutierrez said. He said he did not know whether there was a possibility that the case could be reclassified as a death investigation or a criminal investigation today.

Stacy Peterson was last seen by her husband, veteran Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, on Oct. 28 when she left the couple's home on Pheasant Chase Court to help her sister Cassandra Cales paint a home.

Drew Peterson, 53, told police he last heard from her that night, when she called him on her cell phone.

He later said his wife called to tell him that she was leaving him, and that he believed she was with someone else--a statement her family disputes. She is Peterson's fourth wife.

Gutierrez would not discuss what investigators took from the Peterson home late Tuesday night when they executed a second search warrant at that location in less than a week. He said police were inside the residence for about 90 minutes and no one was home at the time.

Hello Everyone:

Let's look at the facts as we know them about how DP 3rd wife's body was found.  DP brought back the children after visitation.  He took the kids to the door, door was locked, he knocked, no answer.  He went to a neighbor's house and asked to use the phone to call a locksmith?  What is WRONG with that?  Why would he call a locksmith?  Maybe try a phone call, leave a note saying you weren't home, I took the kids back with me?  And why would a locksmith let him in?  He didn't  live there! Then he sends the neighbor in to discover her body in the bath tub? Is it me or is this establishing an alibi/timeline?  This just stinks to high heaven!  And finally why did it take SP disappearance for all of this to come to light?  Maybe it's not "what you know" but "who you know".

I agree 100%.  This guy stinks and he's been allowed to manipulate the system.

I'd really like to know more about wife #1.  Rumor is that she is also dead of "natural" causes.  If that is the case, the only wife that has survived is the one he had NO KIDS with.

Search for Peterson widens with boats, horses, ATVs


Bolingbrook, IL -
Dozens of volunteers fanned out throughout the Bolingbrook and Romeoville area by 10 a.m. Wednesday, targeting a handful of sites organizers hope will lead them to Stacy Peterson, the 23-year old mother of two who was reported missing Oct. 29.

Teams of searchers prepared to work on foot, horseback and in boats looking for clues into Peterson’s disappearance.

Texas EquuSearch is coordinating the volunteer effort while state police are in charge of an investigation into the disappearance of Peterson, who is married to Sgt. Drew Peterson, 53, a 29-year veteran of the Bolingbrook Police Department.

The state police and Texas EquuSearch are not working together.

Texas EquuSearch began searching for clues into Peterson’s disappearance on Monday afternoon, and by Tuesday morning teams of searchers were heading to several target sites, including Veterans Woods in Romeoville and a Plainfield-based private fishing and hunting club near 135th Street and Essington Road.

“We spent a few hours at the private club yesterday before our motor went out, but it is too good a site to pass up because there are so many little secluded slivers of water inlets, so I’ll spend as much time as I can there today,” said Dennis Watters, a professional fisherman from Moro, Ill., who made the trip to Bolingbrook Monday.

Watters said his sophisticated sonar can detect shapes up to depths of 80 feet.
“If someone made a mistake and put Stacy’s body underwater, I’ll find her, even if she is submerged in algae or mud,” Watters said.

Watters did not identify the private club in Plainfield, but said an official of the club told EquuSearch team members Drew Peterson had made inquiries into using the club “to go shooting,” Watters said.

Watters did not say how recent Peterson’s inquiries were, and club officials could not be reached for comment.

Stacy Peterson's husband visits courts complex
Drew Peterson's lawyers: 'Nothing to say'

November 7, 2007
BY DAN ROZEK, JOE HOSEY AND STEFANO ESPOSITO

The police sergeant husband of missing Bolingbrook mother Stacy Peterson visited the Will County courthouse complex in Joliet for about two hours this afternoon.

A grand jury is meeting in the building he entered, which also houses the Will County State's Attorney's offices.

(Rich Hein/Sun-Times)

But neither Sgt. Drew Peterson nor the two lawyers who accompanied him would say what they were doing there.

"This is an on-going investigation," said attorney Fred Morelli. "We have nothing to say."

Drew Peterson -- clean shaven and dressed in a dark suit and tie -- would not respond to repeated questions from reporters. Moments later -- about 3:30 p.m. -- the sergeant and his lawyers left the courthouse complex in a gray Volkswagen.

State police investigators have said Drew Peterson is not considered a suspect in the disappearance of his wife, who was last heard from by family Oct. 28.

Drew Peterson's ex-wife, Kathleen Savio, drowned in her bathtub in 2004. In light of Stacy Peterson's disappearance, Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow has said they are reviewing the circumstances of her death.

In a late development Tuesday night, Illinois State Police investigators executed a search warrant at the home Stacy Peterson shared with her husband. Authorities offered no details on what they were seeking.

Earlier Tuesday, a smaller-than-expected group of 50 volunteers searched grassy areas along the Des Plaines River near Romeoville and a section of Veterans Woods Forest Preserve, but found no sign of the 23-year-old Stacy Peterson.

The poor weather conditions were blamed for keeping volunteers away and for preventing the all-volunteer Texas EquuSearch Mounted Search and Recovery Team from using its search dogs and an aerial drone.

"We will continue until we find Stacy," said Pam Bosco, a family spokeswoman. "I do believe in the end we will have answers.'"

The search continued today.

Police apparently returned to Peterson's Bolingbrook home late Tuesday afternoon. Two investigators walked around the home's fenced backyard, but didn't enter the home, neighbors said.

Stacy Peterson was last seen Oct. 28 at the home, where she resides with Drew Peterson, their two young children and Drew Peterson's two sons from a previous marriage. Drew Peterson has said he believes his wife left voluntarily, possibly because she had become involved with another man.

Her relatives, though, have disputed that claim, saying she wouldn't leave her children. She had told them in recent days that she feared her husband and planned to divorce him.

Will County authorities expect to soon question her two stepchildren - ages 12 and 15 - to see if they can offer any information that will help solve her disappearance.

"We have plans to do that in the very near future," said Charles Pelkie, a spokesman for Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow. "We want to find out what the kids know about [her] disappearance.''

Family Of Bolingbrook Cop's Deceased Wife Speaks
Sister Of Drew Peterson's Late Third Wife Says She Thinks He Harmed Her


 Reporting
Mike Puccinelli JOLIET, Ill. (CBS) ― The search continues for missing Bolingbrook mother Stacy Peterson. Meanwhile, after not being seen for days, her husband, Drew Peterson, made an appearance in Joliet.

CBS 2 news partner the Naperville Sun saw Drew Peterson leaving the courthouse annex at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday. It was rumored that he would be there for grand jury proceedings but officials would not confirm that.

CBS 2 West Suburban Bureau Chief Mike Puccinelli made a trip to the coroner's office on the fourth floor of that building where Drew Peterson was spotted. An official asked that he leave. When asked if the building was a public building, the official responded, "Not today." That, as prosecutors discussed whether to exhume the body of Drew Peterson's third wife.

Three and a half years after Kathleen Savio was found dead in a bathtub, her sister is speaking out for the first time for her desire to see her youngest sister exhumed from her eternal resting place.

When asked if she would support the exhuming of her sister, Anna Doman said, "Yes, if that's what it takes. In a minute."

That's because Anna Doman says Kathleen always believed that her husband, Drew Peterson, would hurt her.

"She told me she'd never make it to the end of the divorce. She'd never make the property settlement," Anna Doman said. "That's a shame."

Anna Doman said Kathleen Savio told her she knew she would be killed. And although she's never said publicly that she believed Drew Peterson killed Kathleen, she's not holding back anymore.

When asked if she thinks Drew Peterson killed Kathleen Savio, Anna Doman said, "It's hard to say… yeah, I do. …He had the most to gain – money."

She says there was $1 million in life insurance and a more than $600,000 estate that stood to be divided.

"She would have gotten half. Instead she got none," Anna Doman said. "He got it all."

When Kathleen Savio died, Melissa Doman lost her favorite aunt. But she thinks of the woman she called Kitty every time she looks at her daughter.

"When I had my daughter, I named her after my aunt, so that no matter what I'll never forget," Melissa Doman said.

Savio's family will never forget a loving mother and sister, who is always in their hearts, a woman whose story they are telling now because she no longer can.

"How in the world could anyone say it was an accident?" Anna Doman said. "The cut was on the back of her head, and she was on her face in a waterless bathtub. Give me a break."

CBS 2 tried to reach Drew Peterson Wednesday but he did not return calls. Anna Doman says she has not spoken to authorities since Stacy Peterson went missing, but says she is now ready to.

Posted on CTV from the podcast at Gretablog:

Greta's latest podcast is up .... lots of new stuff.

The family & Tim Miller are meeting with the PD because the family wants the FBI brought in.

DP has full living quarters in the basement of his house, not able to be seen from the outside, and they believe he has been in there the whole time.

Ric is the one that flew up with Tim today, checking out a spot that DP & SP frequented, a remote location where they rode motorcycles.

The attorneys at the house today were criminal attorneys. The grand jury is investigating the combined cases of SP & Katherine as they are intermingled.

Yes but if you saw him on Greta last night, he was acting very strange, like he was starting to think some bad had happened to Stacy and Drew might be resposible.  Also, he went up in a plane with Tim Miller today to show an area they Drew would go to.  Maybe he's trying to throw the investigation off, or maybe he's changed his mind about his buddy Drew.

Court filings tell story

November 6, 2007
By STEWART WARREN STAFF WRITER
JOLIET -- Although we don't know much about Stacy Peterson's disappearance, we know other things.

They are found in files at the Will County Courthouse.

Knit together, these facts tell something about Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson, the missing woman's much-older husband. For example, while married to another woman, Drew Peterson, 53, owned several businesses and life insurance policies -- and that third wife later was found drowned in a bathtub without any water.

Fourth wife Stacy Peterson, a 23-year-old mother of two, hasn't been seen since Oct. 28. The young woman was supposed to help family members paint a house, but never showed. Drew Peterson claims his wife simply deserted him, but a family member reported her missing.


Savio's death

In early 2002, Drew Peterson and Kathleen Savio, the third wife, began divorce proceedings, according to court documents. They had been married about 10 years and had two children. In late 2003, Will County Judge Susan O'Leary dissolved their marriage. Their divorce was "bifurcated," in this case meaning they were allowed to divorce before their common property was divided, according to court documents.
Then in March 2004, a neighbor found Savio dead in the dry bathtub at her Bolingbrook home. It was an accident, Will County Coroner Patrick K. O'Neil ruled. The 40-year-old woman suffered blunt trauma and a lacerated scalp, injuries consistent with a fall that could have knocked her unconscious, according to the inquest. By that time, Drew Peterson already was involved with the then-Stacy Cales, who was 17 when they met.

After Savio died, there was a Will County probate case to settle her financial affairs. Well-known local lawyer Dick Kavanagh was the public administrator of Will County, a governor-appointed position. Simply put, the public administrator tries to find the fairest way to settle an estate after a death, among other things.


A will emerges

A year after Savio's death and the beginning of the legal proceedings to settle her affairs, a will emerged. It was submitted in court on March 23, 2005. Hand-written in capital letters, it was scrawled across two pieces of lined notebook paper and witnessed by Alex J. Morelli and Gary L. Marcolina.
A man named Alex Morelli is a Bolingbrook police officer, and Herald News archives show a man named Gary Marcolina is a developer in the Crest Hill area.


"This day March 2nd 1997 Drew Walter Peterson and Kathleen Savio Peterson, both being of sound body and mind, do hereby bequeath all of our worldly possessions to each other in the event of either of our individual deaths," begins the will filed with court documents.

If they died together, the couple wanted everything to go to certain people, among them Tom and Kris Peterson, their children, and Eric Drew Peterson and Stephen Paul Peterson, Drew Peterson's children from another relationship.

The will lists some of their assets:


• A Golden Rule life insurance policy valued at $100,000


• A Monumental Life Insurance policy valued at $125,000


• A Prudential Life Insurance policy valued at $308,137.59 -- "Beneficiary Merchants Bank Oswego to pay off note for Sud's Pub in Montgomery," according to the will.


• Bolingbrook Police Pension fund of more than $50,000


• A piece of real estate listed as 9 Clay Court, Montgomery


• The Blue Lightning Corp., or Sud's Pub, 1250 S. Broadway, Montgomery


• Da Page Corp., Fast 'N' Accurate Graphics, 87 Eisenhower South, Lombard


• A quarter interest in CMYK Corp., listed as a printing business in "Lombard-Naperville," according to the will.


Division of property issues

The will names James B. Carroll, Drew Peterson's uncle, executor of the estate, according to a document filed in court by Kavanagh, who apparently had some concerns.
"After my appointment as administrator, I conferred with attorney Harry Smith with respect to the status of the property settlement portion of the divorce proceeding ... (He) advised me that there were three major issues with respect to the division of property ... 1. Whether Kathleen's estate would be entitled to any portion of Drew Peterson's pension; 2. The valuation of the business known as the Blue Lightning Corp., which has been sold with all of the proceeds going to Drew Peterson; and 3. The value of the house, and whether Kathleen Peterson's estate would be entitled to receive not only her one-half of the proceeds of any sale, but an additional portion of the remaining one-half as an offset for the cash taken by Drew Peterson from the sale of the (bar)," Kavanaugh wrote in court documents.

On April 8, 2005, Will County Judge Michael Powers entered a judgment in the financial aspects of the divorce case. It awarded Drew Peterson the Blue Lightning Corp. and all the proceeds from the sale of the couple's home, according to the court documents filed by Kavanagh. The judgment also mentions what seems to be a fourth life insurance policy.

"(It) provided that Drew Peterson would not be obligated to fund any college expenses for the minor children of the parties due to the fact that life insurance on the life of Kathleen in the amount of $1 million had been payable to the children," according to the document.

As part of the judgment, Carroll agreed that some money from Savio's estate should go to someone other than the four children. "The effect of the judgment was to transfer anywhere from $144,117.65 to $288,235.31 (one-half to all of the proceeds of the home sale) from the four children who were the beneficiaries of the estate ... to Drew Peterson," according to court documents.

Kavanagh didn't approve of that move, apparently.

"The actions of (Carroll) were not in the best interest of the estate or the beneficiaries," he wrote in a court document.

Tim Miller is so non-threatening I think he can work on that Mims guy.  Besides, if his buddy Peterson has nothing to hide, Mims should not have to lie or throw off the investigation, should he?

Unless he is involved in it in some manner himself like after the fact accessory.  But I did get the feeling last night he is afraid of Peterson just like everybody else seems to be.  Must be something about that man.

Klaas,
You are right, the only one that survived is the one who would not stand to receive any money long term.  Maybe they should also be looking at the first wife as well.

You'd think getting away with something would make these kinds of people want to lie low for a bit but it just seems to encourage a sociopath.  They then are convinced they are smarter than everybody else and can commit the perfect crime any time they want to.

There are few times I have much to offer in cases.  However, in this case, I do know a few things about this particular area.

As a bit of background, it is cold in this area, and getting colder.  For some that never experience winter, winter has arrived.  In the past, bodies left in fields, or other places around this time remain undiscovered until warm spring days.

Cold like when you open your freezer door and smell the dry cold air.

Bolingbrook is a community surrounded by acres of forest preserve, wetlands, some rural, and located near the interstate.  The area they are searching has creeks, lots of retention ponds, quaries, and other interesting places that one could hide a body.  Keep in mind that a body will decay very slowly in the cold, and freezing weather.  Little or no odor.

There are miles of trails, forrested areas, parks, lots of construction too.  I was talking to someone earlier and they pointed out a few other possibilities.  Lots of golf courses, recycling centers with piles of wood chips, and compost, and the interstate that goes on to Iowa.  Just a quick trip and you're miles away in the country.  Lots of roads being widened and moved to make room for more subdivisions.  No traffic, just piles of dirt.  Some construction has stopped for the winter.  

There is also a fishery in the area.

Is Stacy's family still around?  Mother?

A lot of people are found in this area because it is high traffic interstate, close to Chicago and to rural areas.  They may remain undiscovered for long periods of time.

There was a boy found after Natalee disappeared in 2005 and he was never identifed.

Here is a youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jawz1JcGENw

He was found west of Bolingbrook.  

With regard to rumors, is Stacy's mother still alive?  My friend who reads elsewhere said there is rumor that she disappeared as well.

Whiskeygirl is right about the winters in Dupage county and its gonna make the search efforts that much tougher if she is not found soon :(

Stacy's mother disappeared when Stacy was 15.  Stacy's mother had run off in the past, a couple days here...couple days there but had always returned.  When she disappeared she seemed to have gotten her life back together and it was strange for her to disappear completely.  The family has not heard from her in 9 years.  They looked for her, and found nothing.

I have friends in the area and this is a hot topic.  I've walked my dogs in those forest preserves, years ago (remaining dog is to old now). 

Here is one big area that allows access, would probably not be real busy this time of year - they also have a map - this is just a few miles north of where they are looking...

http://www.mortonarb.org

With the cold and all the building, construction sites, etc., someone could hide a body for a short time, and return later to move it. 

Other big place in the area...Fermilab

OK - on Greta tonight it was mentioned that Kathleen's big wedding ring was missing (prior to her death) and that Kathleen thought that Drew had taken it.

It was also mentioned that Drew had given Stacy a very large ring about a week or so before she disappeared.

TONIGHT - Greta mentioned on her podcast that Stacy's family was asked to go to Interstate Police headquarters.  Wonder if they found THAT ring in Drews house?  Wonder if it's the SAME ring that Drew had given Kathleen?  Could Stacy's family been asked to come down and identify the ring?

WhiskeyGirl,

How cold does it get there at night now?  Would it get below freezing already?  It won't snow soon, will it?  That could really cover things up.

They better hurry!

Yes, Kathleen seemed to think DP coming into the house and helping himself to things especially kept in locked box.  If he still had access to the house when he should not have, that is the opportunity part of a crime.

Is this correct?

Wife no1:What does she think?
Wife no2: Still extremely fearful of her X husband
Wife no3: Died suspiciously in the bathtub after seperating from him
Wife no4: Missing

******* - nobody knows anything about wife #1.  Rumor was that she died (natural death) but then someone else has said that's not true.  I don't think she's dead.  I wish Greta or someone would find out about her.

I'm thinking she doesn't want to be found, especially considering recent events.

Bolingbrook is considered part of the western Chicago suburbs.  According to the Chicago Tribune its 39 degrees right now.  Close to freezing.  I know there has been some isolated sleet (freezing rain) this past week.

Winter coat and furnace time.

Ha, ha!  It's only 32 in Huntsville, AL right now with:

...HUNTSVILLE... DECATUR... GUNTERSVILLE...SCOTTSBORO... FORT PAYNE...CULLMAN...LYNCHBURG... FAYETTEVILLE...WINCHESTER 324 PM CST WED NOV 7 2007
...FREEZE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO 8 AM CST THURSDAY...

FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED AGAIN TONIGHT AS A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM DRIFTS INTO THE CENTRAL TENNESSEE VALLEY. LIGHT WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES FOR A MAJORITY OF THE NIGHT WILL CAUSE TEMPERATURES TO DROP BELOW FREEZING. LOCATIONS THAT DID NOT EXPERIENCE SUBFREEZING CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY MORNING ARE LIKELY TO DROP BELOW FREEZING TONIGHT. FOR MOST LOCATIONS...A SECOND HARD FREEZE IS EXPECTED.

A FREEZE WARNING IS ISSUED WHEN FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO THREATEN OUTDOOR PLANTS. THOSE WITH AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS IN THE WARNED AREA ARE ADVISED TO HARVEST OR PROTECT TENDER VEGETATION NOT IMPACTED BY FREEZING CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY MORNING. ALSO...POTTED PLANTS NORMALLY LEFT OUTDOORS SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE COVERED OR KEPT INSIDE AWAY FROM THE COLD.



But this is very unusual this time of year and will warm back up after tomorrow.

I hope.

It is cold and will stay that way for several months.  Likely the car windows (if outside) will be covered in frost.

It would be hell to be out in the open as it has been windy.  I can usually tolerate the cold, just turned the furnace on Sunday.  However, I had to get out the heavy duty winter coat yesterday.  Fall is just a memory...

It doesn't take much to freeze small ponds, lakes, retention ponds, and waterways.  If a pond is aerated they don't freeze over as quickly.  Even lake Michigan will freeze around the edges.  A lot of people go ice fishing and the small lakes (and other water bodies) stay frozen (a frozen crust you can walk on) until about mid to late March.

The earth will freeze a few feet deep and no one will be digging any holes in the ground.  Pipes freeze and burst inside walls, and under the streets.    

I keep thinking of all the construction.  Much of the construction stops due to the cold and won't start up until spring.  Golfers are out until there is some snow that sticks around.  Golfers are a hardy lot up North and a little cold doesn't scare them off.

 I was just over reading the Bolingbrook message boards on Topix
http://www.topix.com/forum/city/bolingbrook-il

and read a few interesting things:

One poster speculates that DP will never accept the prospect of prison and will either "go on the lamb" or "eat lead."

SP's friends are planning on going to search near the Royce Road quarry area tomorrow (the same area we talked about today)

Many close to the family are hinting that some things will be coming out that will be quite surprising -- much like Greta's tease.

Good BPD officers are upset that DP is giving the entire department a "black eye" and would like to see him brought to justice according to one poster.

One poster is speculation that the reason the family was called to the ISP was to discuss using TES resources to look for Lisa Stebic as well while they are here.

STEBIC CHILDREN TESTIFY BEFORE GRAND JURY
Craig Stebic Not Allowed In Grand Jury Room

POSTED: 10:09 pm CST November 7, 2007
UPDATED: 10:45 pm CST November 7, 2007


CHICAGO -- Sources said Wednesday the children of a missing Plainfield woman spoke to a grand jury. NBC5's Anna Davlantes reported that authorities have wanted to talk with the children of Lisa Stebic for months, but their father, Craig, had refused to allow the children to speak to anyone about the case. Lisa Stebic disappeared six months ago

Sources said Stebic and his children came to the Will County Courthouse, where a grand jury had been seated. It was the first time the Stebic children have spoken to anyone investigating the case.

Craig Stebic has been named a "person of interest in the case," and has refused to let his children talk to authorities.

It gets very cold even this far south but for a couple of days then it always warms back up, like to sixties in day time so nothing ever freezes hard like ponds.  Our water pipes freeze and burst because they are too shallow, just inches under dirt and not wrapped, etc.

Extreme cold would make it much harder to use the dogs searching, too.  Wind also.  The searchers look all bundled up so if this weekend is nice weather, and they have a big turn out on Saturday when some are off from work, maybe that will be all the time they need.

If this man is as he is being portrayed, he has thought this out beforehand, however, and had a place in mind.

The sister of the third wife was saying how he cleaned the bath tub after police were there and gathered up a basket of laundry and took away with him.  Had the neighbors go in to actually find her body even.

He appears to know just how to work the system perfectly and distance himself just enough from the actual event.

I didn't know a parent could prevent children from speaking with authorities.  That is very troubling and doesn't seem right to me.

Those TES guys are tough.  They get the extreme heat and cold both in Texas and they can take lots more than we can I suspect.  Cowboys and all that but the average person showing up to help might not be.  I know they stay warmer walking and moving about, too.

Lots of hot coffee for them would be nice.  I wonder if anyone has contacted local restaurants or if they are afraid to donate or what?

Coroner: Sergeant’s 3rd wife’s death should have been ’undetermined’
Posted 11/7/2007, 11:24PM, by Gary Bishir
BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (AP) — The 2004 death of a Bolingbrook police sergeant’s third wife should have been ruled “undetermined,” the Will County coroner said Wednesday.
No charges were filed after Drew Peterson’s former wife Kathleen Savio, 40, drowned in a bathtub in March 2004 and a coroner’s jury ruled the death accidental. Peterson’s fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, has been missing for 11 days, prompting authorities to review Savio’s death.


“Certain aspects of Kathleen Savio’s death raised concerns for me as well. In my professional opinion … at the very least, her death should have been ruled ’undetermined,”’ Coroner Patrick O’Neil said in a statement. “The coroner’s jury unfortunately ruled otherwise.”
At the 2004 inquest, the coroner said Savio drowned, even though there was no water in the bathtub when she was found. Investigators have theorized that the water must have drained out of the tub.

Savio had obtained an order of protection in 2002, alleging a pattern of physical abuse and threats, according to court records. Drew Peterson has denied having anything to do with his ex-wife’s death.

On Wednesday, searchers organized by the private group Texas EquuSearch combed areas looking for 23-year-old Stacy Peterson, who was reported missing Oct. 29. Illinois State Police say her disappearance is being investigated as a missing persons case.

Drew Peterson visited the Will County courthouse complex in Joliet for about two hours on Wednesday. The building houses the Will County state’s attorney’s offices, along with grand juries and other court services.

“This is an ongoing investigation,” Peterson attorney Fred Morelli told the Chicago Sun-Times. “We have nothing to say.”

Drew Peterson, 53, a sergeant in the Bolingbrook Police Department, has said his wife phoned him and told him she had left voluntarily for another man. But Stacy Peterson’s family has said she feared her husband, was making plans to divorce him and would not have willingly left her children.

That general area is full of hotels, meeting rooms, restaurants - fast food and otherwise.  I wonder if TES has a contact person in the area?

The area borders DuPage County (someone mentioned this county earlier) and DuPage is well developed.  I remember those areas being very generous with regard to donations, it was always a matter of finding someone to ask and pick up the donated items.

Bolingbrook just got a major development that includes a Macy's, Bass Pro Shop, Panera, and many of the other big box retailers.  There seems to be a McDonald's every 5 minutes down the road.  The older parts of Bolingbrook are smaller and working class.  The newer parts have million dollar homes and golf courses.  Bolingbrook is a nice mix of people, and the community has done a lot to make themselves family friendly. 

If someone were going to hide or dispose of a body, that would be the area to do it in.  There are so many possibilities.  If someone has lived in the area, they know where the isolated parts of the communities are.

Dumpsters - shopping malls, stores, apartment/condo complexes, construction site, restaurants, public parks, forest preserves, etc.  Garbage pickup is probably more than once a week, and automated. 

Someone posted information about a business in 'Lombard' - a community a few miles away.  I've been to that business park and a few around it.  Older, no view from the street, secluded in the midst of development.  I think it would have been easy to put something in a dumpster, no one would see you.  Deserted.  Garbage pickup has already happened a few times since she disappeared.

That area also has a lot of animal and people organizations.  I wonder if anyone has contacted them on behalf of searchers?

THURSDAY - How Crazy Can This Business Get? (Don’t Answer…)
by Greta Van Susteren

It is Thursday morning and I am in NYC — but I expect to head back to DC late morning unless OTR Steph Watts call me from Illinois to divert there.  We have been working on an interview there and I have been on standby for days….ready to go.  I figure the chances are great today for the simple reason I don’t have any clothes packed with me here in NYC and these things always happen at the worst times.

Incidentally, to answer the question, “how crazy can this business get?” - I need to give you some behind the scenes from yesterday.  Early yesterday morning I got acall (which turned out to be FALSE FALSE FALSE information) that Sgt. Drew Peterson’s first wife had coinicidentally died the night before of natural causes.   Steph and Cory (OTR Producer Cory Howard) began that investigation (meanwhile they had a ton of other things to do in Illinois.)  Their investigation was hampered by the fact that wife # 1 lives (yes, LIVES) in another state.  As the day passed, a SECOND person said the wife #1 died the night before.   Now we had two sources, but it just did not seem right (so we did not, of course, report it) and we were also fearful that our 2 sources were really one source — that they had both learned the information (false) from the same person.

Well….it was not until about 7pm that we confirmed that wife #1 is ALIVE AND WELL (and that it was just a crazy - and lousy - rumor floating around Bolingbrook, Illinois.)

This is not the only rumor that we have had to chase down…and yes, in virtually every story we get rumors that we chase down that turn out to be false (sometimes true…)  It makes us crazy to have to do it - especially since we have so much else to do on the stories during the day.  But what is our choice, not chase down them?   So…that’s the inside story…and you have to figure that for all we do know and tell you on the air, there is lots we have done behind the scenes that turns out to be zero and just wasted energy

QUESTIONS FOR HUSBAND | Drew Peterson called before grand jury as hunt for wife goes on


(http://media1.suntimes.com/multimedia/peterson.jpg_20071108_08_37_24_20-116-165.imageContent)

November 8, 2007
BY DAN ROZEK, STEFANO ESPOSITO AND KARA SPAK Staff Reporters
Eleven days after Stacy Peterson vanished, her police officer husband was called to testify Wednesday before a Will County grand jury.

Hours later, Coroner Patrick O'Neil said the 2004 death of Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson's previous wife should not have been ruled accidental.

"Certain aspects of Kathleen Savio's death raised concerns for me, as well," O'Neil said in a statement released Wednesday night. "...It was my opinion that, at the very least, her death should have been ruled 'undetermined.' The [six-member] coroner's jury, unfortunately, ruled otherwise."

Accompanied by two lawyers, Drew Peterson spent about two hours Wednesday afternoon inside a Will County office building in downtown Joliet, then left hurriedly about 3:30 p.m.

Peterson, 53, who was clean-shaven and dressed in a dark suit and tie, didn't respond to questions from reporters as he hustled out of the building with one attorney, then jumped into a waiting car driven by another lawyer.

Lawyer: '... nothing to say'
"This is an ongoing investigation," attorney Fred Morelli said as he left the building with Peterson. "We have nothing to say."

Through a spokesman, Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow declined to comment on whether Peterson was called before the grand jury or why he was in the building across the street from the Will County Courthouse. It holds several courtrooms and a number of county offices, including Glasgow's office.

But sources confirmed that Peterson was called before a grand jury, which hears testimony from witnesses and has the power to return indictments against criminal suspects.

Stacy Peterson's sister, Cassandra Cales, said family members were told that Drew Peterson had been called before a grand jury but otherwise had little information.

Cales said Wednesday that relatives weren't told if the grand jury was specifically looking at the Oct. 28 disappearance of Stacy Peterson or if it was considering the death of Savio, Drew Peterson's third wife.

Savio was found dead in a bathtub in her Bolingbrook home after her divorce from Drew Peterson. The 2004 death was ruled accidental, but since Stacy Peterson's disappearance, Will County authorities have said they are reviewing the case. Cales said she's not upset if the grand jury is focusing on Savio's death. "I don't mind people looking into that," Cales said.

"We just know he was called in," added Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for Stacy Peterson's family. "We just hope it was for Stacy's case."

Illinois State Police investigating the disappearance of 23-year-old Stacy Peterson have repeatedly said that her husband is not a suspect and declined to say whether they think she was a victim of foul play.

"We're still focused on finding Stacy," said Trooper Mark Dorencz, a State Police spokesman. "This is a missing persons case."

Drew Peterson has said in interviews that he thinks his wife of four years left him voluntarily -- perhaps for another man.

Relatives have disputed that claim, saying the mother of two young children would never disappear for days without contacting someone. Bosco described Stacy as someone "who was always in contact with her family."

100 volunteers on the lookout
Cales and other family members met for about an hour with State Police on Wednesday, but Cales declined to offer details about the meeting.

The meeting and grand jury appearance took place as nearly 100 volunteers continued looking across the region for Stacy Peterson.

Volunteers on horseback scoured vacant land along the Des Plaines River near Romeoville, while other searchers used sonar equipment to check ponds in Plainfield, and an airplane fitted with a high-resolution camera scouted for signs of the missing woman.

Coroner on ex-wife's death: It wasn't an accident
Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2007 statement from Will County Coroner Patrick O'Neil regarding the 2004 inquest into the death of Kathleen Savio, third wife of Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson:

"My legal obligation as the coroner is to preside over inquests and to present testimony and evidence on all unnatural deaths to a coroner's jury in a neutral fashion. This is exactly what I did while presiding over the inquest in the death of Kathleen Savio.

"The six-member coroner's jury heard testimony from police and reviewed toxicology, autopsy and police reports involving the investigation into Kathleen Savio's death. In addition, the coroner's jury heard concerns voiced by Kathleen Savio's family members that they believed certain aspects of her death were suspicious.

"After hearing all the evidence, the coroner's jury convened in private and ruled that the manner of Kathleen Savio's death was an accident. The cause was listed as drowning.

"Certain aspects of Kathleen Savio's death raised concerns for me, as well. In my professional opinion, having served at the time as the coroner for 14 years, it was my opinion that, at the very least, her death should have been ruled 'undetermined.' The coroner's jury, unfortunately, ruled otherwise.

"At the time, I had every confidence the police agency that investigated her death would present its reports to the state's attorney's office for review. Sgt. Pat Collins of the Illinois State Police obtained the assistance of State's Attorney's [Jeff] Tomczak's office on March 3, 2004 in his investigation. Any criminal charges that might have resulted against any individual would have been the responsibility of the former state's attorney

"It must be noted that a state's attorney's office may file criminal charges in a case regardless of a ruling by a coroner's jury that a death is accidental of the investigation warrants such charges.

"Finally, a change in state law that took effect in January 2007 gave Illinois coroners the option of bypassing the jury process and ruling on the manner of death independently, based upon their professional review of the evidence in a death investigation. This option has enabled coroners to remove a great deal of uncertainty from the process. Had this option been available in 2004, the ruling in this case would have been different."

Well, I just hope like most control freaks DP is afraid to let any remains out of his control and has done something foolish to keep control of them, IF he is guilty of wrong doing in this instance.

Jennifer, these heat pumps just don't work well when it is this cold, at least I have never had one that did.  Mine ran all night and it was still chilly.  This could have been agricultural disaster but the drought had already killed everything here anyway.

Hang on!  Gradual warming trend is on the way.

This Press Release is - in my view - SHOCKING
by Greta Van Susteren

This is very, very interesting….as you know, we have been looking into the death of Sgt. Peterson’s wife #3 in the bathtub. It was ruled an accident in 2004- see below.  Was it? and Worse, why was it? We got the autopsy to double check it since we wanted to be thorough in covering this story. What we read stunned us. We read in her autopsy report that her hair was full of blood and that she had bruises. It certainly looked suspicious to me…but what do I know? I went to law school…not medical school! So we showed it to an expert - Dr. Baden - and Dr. Baden said her death is a homicide. I asked him if it were a “close” question and he said no. Then we continued to probe and probe and probe…our producers went to the coroner’s office and we talked to the police and called the prosecutor’s office. The coroner himself is now speaking out — but I am more scandalized than before. Yes, it is a coroner’s jury that decides…but if you read his release (see the red below), he was likewise suspicious and what did he do???? ZERO …or close to ZERO…read below and then POST YOUR COMMENT: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS????

I don't think I have ever heard of this coroner's jury aspect.  Here, I think, the coroner just rules.  And as Dr Baden was saying recently the coroner is elected and is not necessarily trained to do this.  Most often it is a local mortician!  No one much seems to want the job, either.  I don't think this county pays much for it at all.

I think it should be required to be an MD or at least someone trained in medicine in some way as to recognize what they are looking at.

Stacy Peterson Search Continues; Email Indicates Trouble
Posted by Holliston at 11/8/2007 12:12 PM and is filed under Missing,Stacy Peterson 


Stacy Peterson has been missing now since October 28 leaving behind 4 children and a husband.  Her family doesn't believe for a second her disappearance is voluntary as her husband Drew has maintained.  In fact, much like the Brandi Laurent case, nothing adds up.  Texas Equusearch is coordinating the search efforts in the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook, Illinois along with a group of volunteers.  Among the searchers is Cassandra Cales, Stacy's sister.  Drew claimed the last time he saw Stacy was when she headed over to her sister's to help paint.  I'll have more from Cassandra later today.  Another searcher is Steve Cesare, a good friend of Stacy.  He received an email from her a week and a half before she disappeared indicating a troubled marriage.  Steve sent me that email today.

hello.   i did have the boys over last weekend, but i also had aunt cany and my cousin and grandpa as well as all of my kids.  we had a birthday party and all sorts of stuff so it was crazy.  i didnt want to exclude you at all but was more so hopeing that i could have them again soo and it would be more intimate.  the kids were all over!   dont worry i wont forget you.  im sure you understand.  i was also thinking that my aunt candys time w/them is so extremely limited that i didnt want to take any away from her. 
as far as me staying out of trouble.....not really.  i have been arguing quite a bit w/my husband.  as i mature some w/age i am finding that the relationship i am in is controlling, manipulative and some what abusive.  as i try to help make changes to this he has become argumentative.  tomarrow is our 4 year aniversary and i am not as excited as the years that have past.  i dunno?!?!?!?!   we'll see whats to happen i guess.   if you could keep me in your prayers i could use some wisdom, protection, and strength.
thanks alot

More on this story soon.

Stacy Peterson would not be the first policeman's wife to fall victim to the "thin blue line".  I would not be surprised to hear that Drew's coworkers knew he was an abuser and a cheater.

Poor Stacy didn't learn anything from being the "other woman".  He cheated on his then wife and probably cheated on Stacy as well.  He apparently abused them both . 

And his kids are scared of him.  Nice.  Real father of the year type of guy.

I predict DP will eat his gun before this is all over.

JMHO

Subject: From Urgent….

Just spoke with Chuck Pelkie, PIO for Will County States Attorney office - to find out the latest regarding the review of Kathleen Savio’s (Drew Peterson’s 3rd wife) death.

“We are talking seriously about taking steps to exhume her (Savio’s) body… decision will be made in very near future… (wont say when, States attorney office needs to talk to Savio’s family first)

“States Attonrey office still reviewing what legal steps need to be taken before exhuming the (Savio’s) body”

“there were red flags upon initial review of Kathleen Savio case…. her death continues to be under review. “

“Illinois State Police investigated (Savio’s death in 2004) and sought advice from the Will County States Atty office within days of her death”

“the Will County coroner’s ruling (on Savio’s death in 2004) did not preclude the Will County States Atty office from following up on the case. “


FYI -
** Former Will County States Atty, Jeff Tomczak, was in office from 2000 - 2004, and reviewed the case in 2004 when Kathleen Savio died. Tomczak ran for re-election in Nov. 2004 and lost to current Will County States Attorney James Glasgow. Tomczak’s father, Donald, also a politician, was charged in 2004 with soliciting bribes in the city of Chicago’s Hired Truck scandal.

Volunteers are making progress
Tim with TES told the reporter that a lot of leads are coming in and there have been a lot of developments. "I'm very optimistic that this case will be coming to a close shortly, not going to say today or tomorrow, but I think there are some things that are happening. I think we just need that little tiny bit of luck to go along with all these efforts and I think this is going to come to a close."

(Tim usually chooses his words very carefully, so if he's optimistic, I think that's really saying something!)

Volunteers continue search for Peterson
By Matthew Walberg and Erika Slife

Tribune staff reporters

1:33 PM CST, November 8, 2007

 About 60 volunteers resumed the search Thursday for Stacy Peterson, the Bolingbrook mother who was last seen Oct. 28 by her husband, Sgt. Drew Peterson.

Spearheaded by the rescue organization Texas EquuSearch, the volunteers were dispatched to areas throughout Will County on horseback, on foot and by boat.

Rebecca Marinellie, 18, of Lockport, showed up to the makeshift command center at Westbrook Christian Church on Lily Cache Lane on Thursday shivering in jeans and a light sweatshirt. Marinellie said she met Peterson, 23, through nursing classes at Joliet Junior College and wanted to help.

"I know Stacy from my class. She struck me as the nicest person in the world," she said. "I was talking about a problem with a classmate one day, and she jumped in to help me, and she didn't even know me."

Roy Taylor, whose mother lives next door to the Petersons and who is helping orchestrate the search, said organizers Thursday were most worried about feeding their volunteers. All week, local businesses have been donating lunch, or volunteers have picked up the tab.

"We need food," he said. "We'll have all these volunteers come back for lunch, and we'll have nothing to feed them. Yesterday, we were able to hook it up. Today, it's not looking good."

Meanwhile, boaters used sonar equipment to search the Elmhurst Chicago Stone Quarry in Plainfield.

Taylor said the volunteers spent two days combing the marshes, but now were planning to move into deeper areas in the water-filled quarries.

One bright spot in the effort was a Wednesday night donation of an industrial printer, ink and 20,000 pieces of paper for fliers. Dave Nolen, who recently moved to the area from Cleveland, told organizers he saw a flier this week and wanted to help, Taylor said.

For the most part, volunteers tried to keep their spirits up, but Taylor acknowledged it was getting harder to hold onto hope they would find Peterson alive.

"I [would be] happy to have her call and say she's in Hawaii having a great time, but at this point, I don't think it's going to happen," he said.

He criticized Peterson's husband for his lack of support in the search.

"He has not taken any part of this. He has not gone on TV to plead for her to come home," he said. "He has done nothing but protect his own [rear]."

Peterson, 53, has been out of sight in recent days except for a visit Wednesday afternoon to the Will County Courthouse.

Illinois State Police officials continue to point out that the disappearance of Stacy Peterson – who is Drew Peterson's fourth wife -- is not even a criminal investigation; it remains a missing person case.

Will County state's attorney's officials have, however, said they're reinvestigating the death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, 40, who divorced Peterson shortly before she was found dead in a bathtub at her Bolingbrook home in 2004.

Will County Coroner Patrick O'Neil said late Wednesday he disagreed with the finding of an inquest that her death was an accident.

"It was my opinion that, at the very least, her death should have been ruled 'undetermined,'" O'Neil said in a statement.

Savio's family believed the death was suspicious, O'Neil noted. Her family, which has furnished a copy of her autopsy report to the Tribune, welcomed the reopening of the investigation and said it begged police at the time not to close the case.

Previous descriptions of the scene have noted that while the bathtub was dry, Savio's hair was soaking wet. But the autopsy states that her hair was "soaked with blood." It notes a one-inch laceration on the back of her head and numerous small bruises and abrasions all over her body.

No evidence of drugs or alcohol were found in her system, according to the report. The forensic pathologist who performed the autopsy said the cause of death was drowning and wrote that the "laceration to the posterior scalp may have been related to a fall in which she struck her head."

O'Neil noted that if a recent state law allowing coroners to bypass the jury process were in place in 2004, the ruling would have been different.

He said he had "every confidence the police agency [Illinois State Police] that investigated the case would present its reports to the Will County state's attorney's office for review." Jeff Tomczak was state's attorney at that time, and O'Neil said that any criminal charges would have been his responsibility, and that criminal charges could be lodged regardless of a coroner's jury ruling.

Officials in current State's Atty. James Glasgow's office have discussed the possibility of exhuming her body.

"Are we open to it? Are you kidding?" asked her sister, Anna Marie Doman. "She'd be having a party up there. I know [exhumation] is kind of creepy, but if that's what it takes, that's what it takes."

Medical records and letters obtained from Savio's relatives outline a pattern of alleged abuse and frustration with a lack of action by Bolingbrook police.

In a November 2002 letter to a Will County assistant state's attorney, Savio mentioned Peterson's relationship with his current wife.

"When I found out Mr. Peterson was having an affair with a minor . . . he began to get very violent," she wrote. "Their [sic] has been several times throughout my marriage with this man where I ended up at the emergency room in Bolingbrook for injuries, and I have reported this only to have police leave my home without filing any reports."

Bolingbrook police officials issued a statement this week in which they confirmed 18 domestic calls to the home, but said they always investigated fully. They also noted that they turned the Savio investigation over to the state police, as they have the Stacy Peterson disappearance.

Peterson's mother, Betty Morphey, said her son has done nothing wrong. "I stick by him 100 percent, like any mother would," she said.

Prosecutor Wants Kathleen Savio Exhumed

by Jamie Colby
Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow’s investigation into the 2004 death of Kathleen Savio, Drew Peterson’s third wife takes a new turn this hour. His office is speaking right now to the Savio family about exhuming Kathleen’s body. The Savio family has already said publicly they support the exhumation of Kathleen’s remains for further review.

The prosecutor is not obligated to get the family’s permission to do this but his office tells me he believes this is the right thing to do. What can be learned by looking at Kathleen Savio’s remains three years later? A second autopsy might not be possible but her remains could be thoroughly re-examined. The prosecutor is also not bound by the determination of the jury that heard the inquest and ruled her death an accidental drowning.

I’m also being told for the first time today that the Illinois State Police visited the previous State’s Attorney Jeff Tomczak within days of Savio’s death in 2004 “seeking guidance”. I’ve also learned that Tomczak’s file on the case is slim…there is very little paperwork available on that meeting with police or whatever investigation previous State’s Attorney Jeff Tomczak conducted. Why is that? One source suggests Drew Peterson may have had “connections” that limited the scope but I see no concrete proof of that.

My sense is for the Savio family the current State’s Attorney James Glasgow is giving the case the review it should have had initially.

Stacy Peterson’s disappearance is still being classified a “missing persons” case. I believe it is significant that the two Peterson cars taken by police a week ago have not been released. It’s been reported too that when police returned to the Peterson home executing a second search warrant they found what they were looking for.

I’ve asked a neighbor of Stacy how the children are doing. They are staying with Drew Peterson’s son Steve who is a police officer and is married. His wife works with the FBI. This neighbor believes the kids may have been interviewed by authorities. This would not be uncommon but Illinois police are not commenting on this part of their investigation.

Stacy’s neighbor tells me she believes Drew has found safe haven with former Bolingbrook police officer Mike Robinson and that Robinson has provided Drew she says with new cell phone and car. I’ve called Drew at home and the answering machine has an outgoing message from Stacy.

Here is the new poster being put up in the search for Stacy. A salesman for HP came to the search location and donated 20,000 pieces of paper, a printer and ink so that volunteers could better get the word out.

Search Team Founder Inspired By Personal Tragedy
Texas Equusearch Founder Tim Miller Created The Organization In Memory Of His Slain Daughter

CHICAGO (CBS) ― The drive to find Drew Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, is now leaning on the skills of a man from Texas who is on a personal crusade. As CBS 2's Suzanne Le Mignot reports, the man who founded Equusearch never forgets what gave him a new mission in life.

"Every day I think about Laura," said Texas Equusearch founder Tim Miller. "Every day I miss Laura and again, the grieving process is very long and painful."

On September 10, 1984, Miller's daughter Laura was abducted while walking home from a payphone. Seventeen months later, the 16-year-old would be found dead in a field a short distance from her home. Laura's killer has never been found.

"I made a promise at that time to God and the Lord, never leave another family alone again, so I just didn't know there'd be this many families," Miller said.

In his daughter's memory, Miller founded Texas Equusearch in 2000. To date, the organization has taken part in more than 850 search efforts and located close to 250 people, reuniting them with their loved ones.

"All the families we've helped because of her death, I look back, and her death wasn't in vain," Miller said.

With more than 840 volunteers nationwide, Texas Equusearch members look for missing people on horseback, on foot and by air. They even have their own infrared equipment and use sonar. Among the high profile cases they've been involved in are the Natalee Holloway disappearance in Aruba, the search for pregnant mother Jessie Davis in Ohio, and missing college graduate Stepha Henry in Miami.

"I know this for a fact, there's one thing worse than having a murdered daughter, a murdered loved one, and that's knowing they're probably out there dead somewhere and never being able to say goodbye," Miller said.

Miller says the best feeling he's ever had was reuniting with their families three children that were the focus of Amber Alerts. The organization is supported solely through donations and volunteers.

Drew told police four different stories. They didn't say what they were though.
Well, they sure weren't truthful! Atleast 3 had to be lies and I'm voting that all four were lies.

Whenever you have someone so unstable in his finances or his social relationships you find there is pathology in other areas of their lives too. This man seems to have some trouble finding wives that have any degree of longevity. At some point in time, he is going to run out of women who are lining up to marry him.

Alot of men fail the "one life, one wife" rule without being guilty of homicide. Some men even go through four or five wives without having ever resorted to homicide. Its just that as dysfunction is repeatedly displayed the odds increase. One arson investigation task force had pared down its suspect list to three men and then decided their best bet would be to concentrate first on the man on that list of three who had so many marriages and so many auto accidents. Turned out the task force made the right choice that time too.

Officials may exhume body of Drew Peterson's 3rd wife
'HE DID MANY, MANY THINGS TO HER' | Kathleen Savio told family death 'may look like an accident, but it wasn't'  

November 9, 2007
BY DAN ROZEK AND STEFANO ESPOSITO Staff Reporters
When Susan Savio got the news that her sister had drowned in her bathtub, she immediately wanted to know one thing: Did Drew Peterson kill her?

Kathleen Savio had told family "that if she would die, it may look like an accident, but it wasn't," Susan Savio said in a newly released transcript from a coroner's inquest into the death of Kathleen Savio, Peterson's third wife, who died in 2004 after they divorced.

Joshua Giovencon, a former schoolmate of Stacy Peterson, the 23-year-old missing wife of Police Sgt. Drew Peterson, searches with other volunteers at a construction site in Bolingbrook.
(AP)



"She was terrified of that -- [of] him and him threatening her," Susan Savio said.

The documents were released Thursday as Will County officials considered exhuming Kathleen Savio's body. Her unusual death is getting a second look as teams search for Peterson's current wife, Stacy, missing since Oct. 28.

Savio's relatives say Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow told them Thursday he had decided to exhume the body. The prosecutor's office could not be reached to confirm that.

"We want this to be very private," said Melissa Doman, Kathleen Savio's niece. "We had to bury her once, and we don't want a media circus."

Thursday evening, Drew Peterson was seen outside the Bolingbrook home he shared with Stacy Peterson, barking to reporters, "The media is terrorizing my kids."

'Deathly afraid'
In 2004, a six-person coroner's jury -- agreeing with the pathologist who did the autopsy -- concluded the 40-year-old Savio's death was an accidental drowning.
But Will County Coroner Patrick O'Neil said this week that certain "aspects" of Savio's death raise concerns and that it should have been ruled, at the very least, "undetermined," but he was bound by the jury's ruling.

Savio's relatives have said in recent days that she was "deathly afraid" of her ex-husband. Susan Savio voiced those fears in her testimony during the 2004 inquest.

"He did many, many things to her. He wished only for her to go away."

Savio's body was found in an empty bathtub in her Bolingbrook home. She had no drugs in her system. Savio had a laceration on the back of her head that the pathologist speculated may have been caused by a fall. Her hair was "soaked with blood," he wrote in his report.

In the inquest transcripts, a State Police special agent testified there were no signs of foul play. Special Agent Herbert B. Hardy said Savio's hair was wet and there was a small amount of blood in the tub from the wound at the back of her head. Hardy said investigators concluded the cut came from a fall in the tub.

Drew Peterson was interviewed in the wake of his ex-wife's death, Hardy testified, and nothing Peterson did or said aroused suspicions.

In an interview last week, Drew Peterson criticized Will County authorities for taking another look at Savio's death, insisting it was clear she died from an accidental fall. Though the tub was empty when her body was found, he said State Police conducted tests and determined the plug sealing the tub drain leaked, allowing the tub to empty.

"She just had an accident," he said during the Nov. 1 interview. He and Savio already had finalized their divorce and were moving on with their lives at the time of her death, Peterson said.

Drew Peterson was returning the couple's two sons when her body was found. The house was locked, so he asked a neighbor for help and waited for a locksmith.

The neighbor went in first, Peterson said.

"I didn't want any trouble," he said. "I stood outside, then I heard screaming and went in."

Group Expands Search For Stacy Peterson

Wife Of Bolingbrook Police Sergeant Has Been Missing Since Oct. 28

Rafael Romo BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) ― It has been almost two weeks since anyone has seen Stacy Peterson, a 23-year-old mother and wife of a Bolingbrook police sergeant.

As CBS 2's Rafael Romo reports, Drew Peterson is not a suspect in his wife's disappearance, but has come under scrutiny by her family. He is not talking to anybody about the situation.

Meanwhile, search crews continue to look for Stacy Peterson, and are asking for more volunteers.

"Today the search will continue, and tomorrow if we don't find anything today," said search team member Lisa Loper. "But we're also in great need of food and drinks for the volunteers."

Two teams of volunteers gathered Friday morning at Westbrook Christian Church, at 1175 Lily Cache Rd. in Bolingbrook. In addition to donations of food and drinks, they are looking for paper products – such as cups, plates and utensils, for the volunteers. Donations may be brought to Westbrook church.

Stacy Peterson's friends and family consider hear disappearance highly suspicious. Meanwhile, officials are taking another look at the death of Kathleen Savio, Drew Peterson's third wife, who drowned in a bathtub three years ago. Will County coroner Peter Siekmann says he thinks a coroner's jury was mistaken when they declared her death accidental. Read More Here

As part of the search on Friday, volunteers will be using a powerful sonar boat in the historic Illinois and Michigan Canal, and a number of lakes yet to be determined.

Sonar boat owner Dennis Watters explained how he intends to help in the search.

"God forbid that she's in a lake or whatever," Watters said. "If she's in there, we will see her body. If we run across a car we see a car, we see boats."

Gary Peterson is a member of Equusearch, a volunteer organization from Texas helping in the search for Stacy Peterson. He said they will bring in a drone Friday afternoon that will be flying in the marshy area near Lemont.

"Each morning I pick three of four target areas, target priority areas that we want to search and we assign people and they go out and they search these pieces of property," Peterson said.

Drew Peterson has maintained that Stacy left him voluntarily and called him to say she had done so. But Stacy's family insists she would not have abandoned their children.

Klaas,
I wonder if that little bitty airplane would bear the weight of a second person if that person only weighed, say about a hundred pounds?

Could a person take someone up in a barrel or something and drop they somewhere I wonder?  Now that would be very hard to find if they dropped them in deep woods or far away in a lake or river?

Or would they have to land and dispose of a container or how could that tiny plane be used in some manner to assist in the concealment of a crime?  I think it may have been because DP says he were there to put a sticker on it that day she disappeared.  Did he take it plane out and do ones that small have to file a regular flight plan?

So many questions with this very complicated man.

440 pounds max payload...it would be close

How much do you figure Drew to weight?  I'm thinking he must weight at least 220, maybe more.

WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON IN ILLINOIS
 
   
 

 
Growing up outside of Chicago, Illinois, I have lived through the horrific John Wayne Gacy murders of the 1970s. This one time children's entertainment clown, befriended 33 young boys and eventually kidnapped, tortured and brutally murdered them. Gacy then buried the bodies in and around his own home. It was a frightening and shameful era for the state of Illinois, but since then, for the most part, my home state has flown under the radar as far as infamous crimes are concerned. Until recently, that is.

The year 2007 has been a mysterious one, to say the least, in this Midwestern prairie state. While kidnappings and murders pop up on our national news channels every single day, it seems crimes in Illinois are becoming a repeat and disturbing topic on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and others. It begs the question: What the heck is going on in Illinois?

Lisa Stebic

A Plainfield, Illinois mother of two, Lisa Stebic was going through a rough patch with soon to be ex-husband Craig when she disappeared on April 30, 2007. She had previously told friends and family members that Craig threatened her life on several occasions. Craig Stebic claims Lisa left for work and simply vanished. He refuses to let their two children be interviewed by police which raises yet another red flag. There has been no sign of Lisa since that fateful day in April.

The Vaughn Family

On a recent family road trip supposedly to a water park, a terrible tragedy occurred. According to Christopher Vaughn, he pulled his SUV off the highway and suddenly his wife Kimberly pulled out a gun and shot and killed their three children in the back seat injuring Christopher in the process. The crimes occurred in mid-June in the town of Channahon, Illinois. Days later, police investigators uncovered a more probable scenario. They now believe that it was Christopher Vaughn who shot and killed his entire family and then purposefully injured himself to solidify his original story. Family members and close friends claim the family appeared to be happy throughout the years. Vaughn is now awaiting a trial.

Nailah Franklin

On September 18, 2007, a 28 year old Chicago pharmaceutical representative named Nailah Franklin never showed up for a meeting a work. Her abandoned car was soon found in Hammond, Indiana. Friends say Nailah was receiving threatening phone calls from a man she dated briefly. Unfortunately, nine days after she went missing, Franklin's body was found at a Calumet City forest preserves. This case is still under investigation.

Alma Mendez

On a beautiful fall October afternoon, Alma Mendez took her usual jog in South Chicago Heights at the Saug Trail Woods. Hours later, this mother of three was nowhere to be found and her car was just as she left it; steps from the trail. A by passer noticed articles of clothing floating in the Saug Lake, where the 39 year old woman was eventually found. There are currently no suspects in this case.

Staci Peterson

Staci Peterson of Bolingbrook, Illinois is 23 years old and the mother of two. She married Drew Peterson who is 30 years her senior and a local police sergeant. Drew has been married a total of four times. Oddly enough, his third wife was found dead in a bathtub. Conflicting coroner's reports show that she drowned even though the tub was supposedly dry. There was also blood found at the scene. Now, on October 28, 2007 Staci has gone missing and police have searched the Peterson home and questioned Drew. Several friends of Staci have reported that she told them if anything ever happened to her, Drew would be responsible. The case is being thoroughly investigated and the search for Staci continues. On a bizarre side note, the couple's two year old daughter is named Laci Peterson.

All of these mysterious crimes have occurred within a six month period. They have also been committed in a 60 mile radius of one another leading law enforcement to wonder if any of them are possibly connected. Investigators do not believe they are related at this time, but continue to research all possibilities. Still, it certainly makes you wonder what the heck is going on in Illinois?

Klaas,
That sounds about right for his weight to me.  Hard to tell since he is always wearing a coat and has something over his face most of the time so hard to know if he is fat or what.

But if he took that little plane up, shouldn't there be a record at the airport?  I bet it would land in a cornfield, too.

220 + 100 + 10 for container = 340 with a hundred pounds to spare.  So even if he weighs more than that, I don't think a hundred pounds more.

I don't necessarily think this is what he did but just thinking out loud.  Container tied to airplane and once aloft, cut the rope?  Just thinking of opportunities to dispose of Stacey's remains if he did something to her.  Or maybe that is more like a possible method.

Maybe he went up to look for a good, remote place to later drive to.

I don't know.  Just hope they find her soon.  She could well still be alive and so fearful of him she is hiding.  That's why I wish they would put him in jail!  Now, not later.

Pretending not to have a key.  Why, he even had to call a locksmith to get in!  That in and of itself if very odd.  Why would he want inside so badly?  Why not leave a note to come get the kids when she got back home?  How did he even know she was inside in the first place and not out shopping for example?

Police: Husband considered suspect in disappearance
Search continues for Bolingbrook woman

 By Evelyn Holmes

(http://a.abclocal.go.com/images/wls/cms_exf_2005/news/local/wls_110807_savio_peterson.jpg)
Kathleen Savio and Stacy Peterson, Sgt. Drew Peterson's third wife and fourth wife, respectively. Savio died in 2004 and Peterson disappeared on October 28, 2007.



November 9, 2007 - Bolingbrook Sergeant Drew Peterson is now considered a suspect in the case of his missing wife, according to Illinois State Police.

Stacy Peterson, 23, was last seen on October 28. She is Sgt. Peterson's fourth wife.
Because of his status with the Bolingbrook Police Department, the investigation into Peterson's disappearance was taken over by Illinois State Police.

Illinois State Police Captain Carl Dobrich said Sgt. Peterson, 53, has moved from being a person of interest in the disappearance of his wife to "clearly being a suspect."

Dobrich also said the case was now a potential homicide investigation.

Dozens of volunteers are aiding in the search for Peterson in and around her Bolingbrook home. Friends and family said she would never leave her two young children alone.

The change in the status of Sgt. Peterson from 'person of interest' to 'suspect' comes as prosecutors got permission to exhume the body of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Savio was found dead in her bathtub in 2004. The death was originally ruled accidental.

"There's no doubt in my mind this wasn't an accident," said one official.

In a petition the Will County state's attorney filed Friday listing the reasons authorities want to exhume Savio's body, prosecutors said a review of evidence in the case "is consistent with the 'staging' of an accident to conceal a homicide."

Prosecutors said they reviewed photographs of the crime scene and autopsy, the autopsy protocol, and police reports.

". . . The one-inch gash in the back of Kathleen Savio's head did not render her unconscious, which would have been necessary for her to accidentally drown in the bathtub," the petition stated.

Will County Circuit Court Judge Daniel J. Rozak signed the petition granting the exhumation Friday. It was not immediately clear when the body would be exhumed.

"There's only one person that stood to gain anything from her dying," said Melissa Doman, Savio's niece. "Her ex-husband, Drew."

Sergeant Peterson denies involvement in either case.

"After the divorce, before the property was settled, he took out another life insurance policy on my aunt. So I've been told. I haven't seen the policy or anything, but that's just what I've been told by family," said Charles Doman.

Is he a suspect in the homicide of Kathleen Salvio as well or did they not address that as yet?

I know it is sad to think about because we hold out hope for the possibility of her being alive.  When you look at this sick individual these women didn't have a chance.  I also have wondered if he might be involved in more murders.

Last night at the very begining of Greta he said to the news people that the media was terrioizing his kids.  Imagine that.

Yes, I can believe he would like for the media and all the searchers to just go away.  So he is now a suspect but has not yet been arrested?  If he is arrested I hope they deny him bail.  I think people would be more cooperative if he weren't lurking around watching and scaring people.

Hey kids the choppers are back in the area circling Drew’s house. there are at least two of them so things are finally picking up steam. Even with this now looking more and more like a murder. Equisearch still needs help in the search. For those of you available to help search parties start forming at 8:00am and also 1:00pm at Westbrook Church in Bolingbrook(1 1/2 block east of Weber rd). most days there are around 60 people they can use well over 100. If you can’t help with that maybe drop a case of water or something off at the church for the searchers. Any and all donations i’m sure would be appreciated.

Drew Peterson has officially been named a suspect in the investigation...

UPDATE: "I would say right now that Drew Peterson has gone from being a person of interest to clearly being a suspect," Illinois State Police Capt. Carl Dobrich says during a news conference today. "I would say this case has shifted from a missing person case to a possible homicide case." More to come.

They should have put him in jail days ago as I think he is running around destroying evidence as he goes and using the kids as a cover for that as well.

Yes, they need to get those kids away from him in a big hurry.  Rick has changed his mind and thinks Peterson is involved and former friends are really afraid of Drew Peterson.

And they are leaving those little kids with him????  That's insane.  They better get them and be very careful in doing so.

Trick him away from them and take them really fast.

Sharon, Rick and Tim think Peterson may be losing his marbles?   :shock:  2 o'clock in the morning?

Yes, they need to get those kids away from him in a big hurry.  Rick has changed his mind and thinks Peterson is involved and former friends are really afraid of Drew Peterson.

And they are leaving those little kids with him????  That's insane.  They better get them and be very careful in doing so.

Trick him away from them and take them really fast.

What are they waiting for?   :2doh:

I don't know Anna.  It makes me sick that those kids are with him.  Not sure what the law says but someone needs to find a way to get them out of there...NOW.

If he was acting crazy last night, one more night is too risky.  Yes, I agree.  I have a very bad feeling for those kids, it's really bothering me.  If he does decide to kill himself and they are there, I have no doubt he would take them with him just to spite Stacey's family.

If even Mims is saying he was acting crazy, then I think he was and someone should use that as a reason to remove them.  Danger ot himself and or others.  I am beginning to wonder if the cops are afraid to even approach him about that for fear it will trigger some event.

This has all the makings of really not ending well. All the signs are right there and I really have to wonder why no one is doing anything.

Heaven forbid something terrible happen to those children and the police are going to have as much explaining to do as the coroner does who did the initial autopsy on Peterson's 3rd wife.

Now A Suspect, Drew Peterson Loses Police Powers

Authorities: Stacy Peterson Likely Dead In Homicide


BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) ― Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson has been stripped of his powers, and authorities are looking at him Saturday morning as a suspect in the disappearance of his wife.

As CBS 2's Rafael Romo reports, Drew Peterson, 53, was a member of the Bolingbrook police force for 29 years – six years longer than his missing wife Stacy has even been alive.

Stacy Peterson has been missing for nearly two weeks, and Drew Peterson has insisted that she left him voluntarily and called to say she was doing so.

But on Friday, Capt. Carl Dobrich said, "Drew Peterson has gone from being a person of interest to clearly being a suspect."

Dobrich added, "I would say the case has shifted now from missing persons case to a potential homicide."

Late Friday, two Bolingbrook police officers came to the Peterson house with written notice that Drew Peterson is no longer one of them; that pending an internal affairs investigation he is suspended from the force without pay. Peterson never came to the door.

This is the first step the police department takes before firing an officer.

In addition, a neighbor of Drew Peterson's said she might be seeking an order of protection. She said a couple of nights ago, Drew Peterson approached her constantly screaming her name, and she and her family do not feel safe anymore.

Stacy disappeared on Oct. 28. After her family filed a missing persons report, police conducted two separate searches at the Peterson home, on the house, the vehicles, and a trailer, Dobrich said at a news conference Friday.

"Subsequent to that search warrant, we went back several days later on another search warrant based on information that was learned after the first search warrant," Dobrich said.

Based upon the information learned since then, police have concluded that the case had gone "from a missing persons case to a potential homicide case," Dobrich said.

"Early on, we looked at this as a missing persons case, but also believed strongly that based on the (Kathleen) Savio investigation (into the death of Drew Peterson's third wife) and the information that we were gleaning within the first 24 hours of the missing persons case with Stacy, was starting to strongly point to Drew Peterson being a person of interest," Dobrich said. "I would say that right now, Drew Peterson has gone from being a person of interest to clearly being a suspect."

Dobrich hinted that evidence was found in the recent searches of the Peterson house, perhaps computer evidence which is changing the nature of this case.

A neighbor of Drew Peterson said she and her family are afraid to stay in their house at night, and they may seek a restraining order to keep him from their house. It stems from an incident in which she called police after she said Drew Peterson approached her in her driveway, repeatedly screaming her name.

"The thing that really concerned me most of all is that he would go into my backyard and do it again, while the police officer's in the front of the yard," said neighbor Sharon Bychowski. "That sounds just like someone that's coming a little unglued."

Stacy Peterson's friends and family consider her disappearance highly suspicious. A spokesperson for Stacy's family talked with reporters Friday night.

"It's been a whole range of emotions for me -- but, there is some relief in the fact that we are making progress with the case," said Pamela Kay Bosco.

And, she had this message for Drew Peterson: "Be honest with yourself -- come forward -- give information to police if you have anything... just be honest."

Volunteers continue to search for Stacy Peterson. They are gathering Saturday at the Westbrook Christian Church, t 1175 Lily Cache Rd. in Bolingbrook, and plan to search the Green Valley Forest Preserve near Naperville.

Meanwhile, the Will County state's attorney's office announced Friday they plan to exhume Kathleen Savio, who drowned in a bathtub three years ago. Her death was ruled accidental at the time, but authorities now say tell-tale signs of trauma including bruising and head injuries found on Savio's body may mean her death may have been staged to appear accidental.

From Nancy Grace transcripts..11/8/2007

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: How in the world did he get away with dating a 17-year-old girl? It is illegal in Illinois. If an 18-year-old boy is caught having sex with a 17-year-old girl, he is arrested and then has to register a sex offender. How did he get away with it?

LALAMA: That`s a good question. But Joe Hosey from "The Herald News," my understanding is he claims he went to the department, said, I have a 17-year-old girlfriend, and they said, No problem, right?

JOE HOSEY, "HERALD NEWS": I don`t think he necessarily went to the department. The department found out about it, and they went to the state`s attorney`s office, he says, and he was given an opinion that it was OK. The problem -- she was 17, he was 47. That`s legal unless he`s in a position of authority. The department was saying as a police officer, he`s in a position of authority, but apparently, the state`s attorney`s office felt otherwise.
      ------------------------------------------------------------------



ROCKWELL: I got to jump in because the only thing that`s really problematic right now that he has to face is the fact that he`s committed himself to that phone call that was allegedly made. And he may be sorry that he said that if they can`t prove it. The only other thing that I can say is he might have called her phone. He might have called her phone.

LALAMA: Yes, let`s let Mike explain how that might work. He says, She called me at 9:00, said, I`m leaving you for somebody else. He could have messed with the cell phones, correct?

MIKE BROOKS, FORMER D.C. POLICE, CNN LAW ENFORCEMENT ANALYST: Well, as an investigator, I`d say, OK, Mr. Sergeant Peterson, where were you at the time you made that call? And then he`s going to commit himself, Well, I was at this location. OK. Fine. Then go back, take the cell records, see how many cell sites had the call -- her phone had been through, as opposed to where his phone was at that particular time. They can do that to see what cell site the phone was picking on at the time the call was made, and what time -- and where he was and what cell site he was near when he received the call. There better be some good distance between that, or else he could be in some serious trouble.
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------


Haven't been able to find anywhere if the kids have been removed safely. This guy is a loose cannon IMO and if he is guilty of crimes in both of his wives cases, must also be extremely arrogant to think he could get away with it.

Texas Equusearch resumes hunt for Stacy Peterson

 
JOLIET, Ill. (AP) -- Kathleen Savio tried to get someone to believe that her life was in danger. She told authorities, who charged her with domestic battery instead of her husband Drew Peterson. Savio told her family that if she died, no matter what it looked like, her death would be no accident.

•Now, prosecutors are searching for Peterson's fourth wife Stacy, calling Peterson, a police officer, a suspect in her potential homicide. And three years after she was lowered into the ground, prosecutors now plan to exhume Savio's body in the hopes it will give them clues to how she died.

Today, Texas Equusearch, a private firm which specializes in finding missing people, especially homicide victims whose bodies have been dropped into water, resumed its work in the hunt for Stacy Peterson, Drew Peterson's current wife.
She  was last seen Oct. 28. State Police Capt. Carl Dobrich said Peterson is no longer merely a person of interest in the disappearance of the 23-year-old but "clearly" a suspect. He said the case is now a potential homicide investigation.

"We're sad, but we needed to move on, and this is something we've needed to hear for a long time," said Pamela Bosco, Stacy Peterson's adoptive stepmother.

Peterson has said that his wife phoned him and told him she had left him for another man. His attorney, Fred Morelli, has not returned calls seeking comment.

Authorities said that during their initial visit to the Peterson home after Stacy was reported missing, Drew Peterson gave his consent for a search, but limited the number of officers and the area.

The family of Stacy Peterson, who was studying nursing at a nearby junior college, has said she feared her husband, was making plans to divorce him and would not have willingly left her children, ages 2 and 4.

•There's no doubt in my mind it (Savio’s death) wasn't an accident," Will County state's attorney James Glasgow said.

Glasgow's petition to exhume Savio's body argues that the "evidence is consistent with the staging of an accident to conceal a homicide."

A coroner's jury ruled the 2004 death of Kathleen Savio, Peterson's third wife, an accident, even though there was no water in the bathtub where the 40-year-old's body was found face-down, her hair soaked in blood from a head wound.

Investigators theorized the water had slowly drained.

Glasgow said his office has reviewed photographs of the crime scene and autopsy, the autopsy protocol and police reports.
They determined the blood evidence was not consistent with water slowly leaking out of a tub, that the one-inch gash on the back of Savio's head was not sufficient to render her unconscious, and that abrasions on her body were not consistent with falling on a smooth surface like a bathtub.

Glasgow, who took office more than nine months after Savio's death, also said that indicated Savio had sought a domestic violence complaint against her husband.

Peterson was never charged, but Savio was twice charged in 2002 with battery and domestic battery, Glasgow said. She was found not guilty both times.

Jeff Tomczak, the state's attorney at the time that domestic violence charges were filed against Savio and when she died, did not return calls seeking comment.

Savio's niece, Melissa Marie Doman, said family members support the exhumation. She said relatives have long suspected that Savio didn't drown accidentally.

"Something just was never right," said Doman. "I can't really say who, but someone did something."
According to court records, Savio had gotten an order of protection in 2002, alleging a pattern of physical abuse and threats. Drew Peterson has denied involvement in his ex-wife's death.

Savio's sister, Susan Savio, told the coroner's jury that her sister feared Drew Peterson.

In a transcript of the coroner's inquest, Susan Savio told the six-person jury that her sister told family members "if she would die, it may look like an accident, but it wasn't."

• The Bolingbrook Police Department announced that Peterson has been relieved of duty and placed on suspension without pay pending completion of an internal affairs investigation and hearing.

Foul play debated in ex-wife's death

suburbanchicagonews.com/bolingbrooksun - JOE HOSEY - November 9, 2007

JOLIET -- A State police investigator downplayed the possibility of foul play in the death of a Bolingbrook cop's third wife nearly four years before his fourth wife disappeared.

The testimony from Special Agent Herbert Hardy at the May 2004 coroner's inquest of Kathleen Savio's death painted the 40-year-old's demise as anything but fishy. — continued

I think it is hilarious listening to some of these defense lawyers on the talk shows complaining about how the body of his 3rd wife is being exhumed and how the cause of death is being brought into question.

But these seems defense lawyers would let their mouth overload their tails and want a stay of execution or a delay in a trial or a miss trial if they found new evidence that could help their clients, no matter how irrelevant or credible or not credible the evidence is.

Cop once fired over claim of betrayal
UNDERCOVER | Peterson was accused of outing fellow officer to killer

November 10, 2007
BY STEFANO ESPOSITO AND DAN ROZEK Staff Reporters
Retired State Police Lt. Col. Ronald Janota hasn't spoken to Drew Peterson in more than a decade, but Peterson is a man he hasn't forgotten and will never forgive.

In 1985, Janota was Peterson's boss at the Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad -- working out of a "clandestine" office near Joliet, Janota told the Chicago Sun-Times this week. Peterson, for reasons Janota said he has never been able to explain, allegedly sabotaged one of the squad's drug stings and gave the identity of an undercover narcotics agent to a convicted killer under investigation for dealing drugs, Janota said.

"We found out from different sources that the identity of an Illinois State Police officer was revealed to the [killer], by Mr. Peterson," Janota said. " . . . We immediately notified the undercover officer that his life was in jeopardy."

Added Janota, "Putting a fellow officer's life in jeopardy is unforgivable as far as I'm concerned."

But Peterson tells a far different story of the incident, which led to his temporary firing in 1985. And Peterson got his job back after he appealed the Bolingbrook Board of Police and Fire Commissioners' decision to fire him. In 1986, a Will County judge found Peterson's firing to be "excessive."

Peterson began working as a Bolingbrook police officer in June 1977, according to court documents his lawyers filed in the appeal of his firing. Peterson had previously been a military policeman and was responsible "from time to time . . . for the security of persons such as President Gerald Ford [and] the King of Siam," according to the court papers. Two years after being hired at Bolingbrook, Peterson received a "police officer of the year" award, according to court documents.

Peterson didn't admit leak
Beginning in 1978, Peterson was assigned to the Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad, a joint operation of state, county and local officers from Will and Grundy counties. But Peterson got in trouble in 1985, when he revealed to his supervisors that he'd embarked on a solo narcotics investigation of a convicted police killer and drug dealer -- the same man a State Police undercover officer was investigating, according to court documents.

Although he knew about the other probe, Peterson never told his supervisors about his own investigation until it hit a dead end.

"You had better take your guns off -- I have something to say that's real bad," Peterson allegedly told his supervisors at the time.

But Janota alleges he also learned Peterson had leaked the undercover agent's identity to the drug dealing suspect.

"Obviously [the squad's investigation] had to be terminated immediately," Janota said.

Then-Bolingbrook Police Chief William Charnisky recommended Peterson be fired, and the village police and fire board terminated Peterson.

But two separate appellate court judges on different occasions said the firing was excessive. Peterson's lawyers have said he was just trying to put a dangerous criminal behind bars, that he never did anything illegal and never divulged the identity of the state undercover agent.

But Charnisky told the Sun-Times this week: "My opinion was that his conduct was unbecoming of an officer and he shouldn't have been reinstated."

I have been wondering if he had help and this just confirmed to me that he did.

I agree San.  I think there were many people affraid of Drew, maybe because he "had something" on them.  He would have no problem getting one of them to assist him, IMO.  However, they may also be speaking to investigators now.

Missing Illinois Mom's Neighbor Reports to Police Cop-Husband's Odd Behavior
Saturday , November 10, 2007


BOLINGBROOK, Ill. —

A neighbor of an Illinois woman filed a police report against the husband of an Illinois woman and recalled seeing the mother of two sitting at the end of her driveway in tears a week before she disappeared.

"’He's all packed up and I want him to go,’" Sharon Bychowski told FOX News Stacy Peterson said. Six boxes allegedly filled with Drew Peterson’s belongings sat in the couple’s open garage, she continued.


A close friend and next-door neighbor of Stacy and Drew Peterson, Bychowski said she filed a police report on Thursday after Drew Peterson showed up on her lawn at 11 p.m. and began shouting her name: "'Come here, Sharon. … I want you,’" FOX News’ Jeff Goldblatt reported she said.

Bychowski, who at times baby-sits the Petersons’ two children and took them trick-or-treating this year, said she is staying in a hotel under a fictitious name to avoid the area and is contemplating seeking an order of protection against the suspended Bolingbrook, Ill., police sergeant. On Friday he was named a suspect in Stacy Peterson’s disappearance.

On Saturday, Drew Peterson’s mother defended him in a telephone interview with FOX News.

"He didn’t do anything," Betty Morphey said. In response to a question about Drew Peterson’s refusing to let officers search his home, she asked: "Would you want people going through your house?"

Peterson, however, did give a tour of his house to FOX News' Jamie Colby.

Click here to read Jamie Colby's blog: "Inside Drew Peterson's House."

Peterson was suspended without pay on Friday, pending the outcome of an investigation of an incident several months ago that apparently violated Bolingbrook’s no-chase policy, a source said.

Peterson, the shift commander that night, reportedly granted permission to an officer to chase a suspect, who crashed into another vehicle after speeding nearly 100 miles per hour, opening the department to a potential lawsuit.

"None of them have been very much help to him," Morphey said of Peterson’s fellow officers. "They turn their back on him. I find that very disrespectful."

Police said they planned to exhume the body of Drew Peterson’s third wife, Kathleen Savio, who was found dead in a bathtub in 2004. The coroner had ruled the cause of death an accidental drowning.

"Drew Peterson went to being a person of interest to clearly a suspect," said Illinois State Police Capt. Carl Dobrich at a press conference, adding that the case has shifted to a potential homicide case.

"There's no doubt in my mind that it wasn't an accident," James Glasgow, the Will County State's Attorney, said.

Will County Coroner Patrick O'Neil, who reviewed Savio's autopsy, said earlier this week that there were aspects of her death that concerned him.

The autopsy report found that Savio had a one-inch "blunt laceration" on the left side of her scalp, her "hair is soaked with blood" and she also had abrasions or bruises on seven different places on her body.

Family members long have suspected that Savio didn't drown accidentally, Melissa Marie Doman, Savio's niece, said.

"I am all for it, along with the rest of my family, because something just was never right," Doman said. "I can't really say who, but someone did something. I don't think it was an accident."

When prosecutors learned of Stacy Peterson's disappearance, they reopened the investigation of Savio's death.

Stacy Peterson was reported missing Oct. 29 after she didn't arrive at a friend's house. Drew Peterson began dating Stacy when she was 17. They have two children, ages 2 and 4.

Drew Peterson recently told reporters that he believes his wife is alive and said he is being treated unfairly in this case.

Drew Peterson divorced Kathleen Savio, but financial issues hadn't been finalized when her body was found in her bathtub in 2004. There was no water in the tub

BREAKING NEWS

Source: Peterson Searchers May Have Made Discovery
Source Tells WBBM 780 That Search Teams Might Have Located Shallow Grave
BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) ¯ A source tells CBS 2 sister station WBBM Newsradio 780 that search teams might have located a shallow grave while searching for missing Bolingbrook mother Stacy Peterson.

Meanwhile, her husband, Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, has been stripped of his powers, and authorities are looking at him Saturday morning as a suspect in the disappearance of his wife.

Sources told WBBM Newsradio 780's Mary Frances Bragiel that something suspected to be a shallow grave was found by search teams from the professional search group Texas Equusearch, which has had members searching for Stacy Peterson for the last week.

But police would not confirm the information, and the location where the suspected grave was found was not disclosed.

http://cbs2chicago.com/local/drew.peterson.stacy.2.564863.html



FYI - this may be absolutely nothing.  Red is in touch with Tim and I'm sure we'll find out soon enough if it's Stacy.

I hope they did find Stacy.  Does he still have his kids after what we have learned about this POS.

The system failed wife #3 and I blame law enforcement for her death and Stacy's death.  This lead to a man thinking he could get away with murder once again.  Now we have 4 children without their mother.  They were left with a man who really is no father to these children.

Last night when I was watching Greta they were talking about the press conference they had during the day.  Mark Fuhrman said someone asked a question if they thought Peterson had help in the disposal.  The man talking looked over at someone else (not sure who it was) and the man shook his head no and the guy turned and looked at the camera and said we can't answer that at this time.

I have been wondering if he had help and this just confirmed to me that he did.

I agree San.  I think there were many people affraid of Drew, maybe because he "had something" on them.  He would have no problem getting one of them to assist him, IMO.  However, they may also be speaking to investigators now.

I agree Klaas.  Like you said even Bobby Cutts needed help.  Here we had a big rought and tough in shape police officer and he needed help.

I know his parents are up there in age but know one is going to tell me they didn't know what kind of animal their son was.  I'm sure they witnesses plenty of bruises on all his wives over the years.

Search for Stacy will continue tomorrow.

Another day and a bit of hope.  I was so hoping they had found her.  Drew had so much time.  He could have taken her body anywhere within what, 14 hours round trip?  And, if he premeditated her murder, as a police officer to boot, he could have had any number of calzones do the deed.  Did Stacy have life insurance?  I truly believe she has been murdered and I think most of the people in this forum and in Bolingbrook agree.  What about that mysterious blue barrel?   Is there any construction site or road work going on?  What about the cadaver dogs picking up a scent from the garage.  What items did they find in the house which I believed was "what they were looking for"?  And those kids, why can't Stacy's family demand visitation?  Or better yet, why can't LE demand to see them to be sure they are okay?  Time keeps ticking and Drew is so arrogant!  There has to be a clue somewhere!  I truly believe if she were alive she would call a family member.  The fact that Drew is not searching is so troubling as well.  Another Scott.  I read the reports on AMW and they read like a sad story.  How long will the Texas group search?  I wish all of her family and friends strength as they face each new day and hope they know how many are praying for them throughout the country.

More News out of Bolingbrook, Illinois - Sgt. Peterson / Stacy Peterson Story
by Greta Van Susteren

We get lots and lots of tips about the Sgt. Drew Peterson matter — both about Stacy, and about his wife #3, Kathleen Savio.

From a very good source, we have been told that one of the jurors in the Kathleen Savio inquest jury was a police officer. We are now hot on the trail to find out if that is true or not. But, a word of caution: just because someone is a police officer and Sgt. Peterson is one, too, do not assume anything sinister. For all we know, they did not know each other or could even hate each other. We are merely chasing it down as an interesting piece of information — we try and chase everything down to be as thorough as possible.

Now for some distressing news about the Bolingbrook Police Chief …pic below…

(http://gretawire.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/chief.thumbnail.jpg)

And this bothers me immensely - I have just been told (I assume it is true) that there is a petition circulating asking the CURRENT police chief to step down. This is WRONG!

First, the CURRENT Chief (Chief McGury) was NOT the chief at the time of wife #3’s death (if anyone should step down it is those involved in that inquest and investigation!) THIS IS AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION –this did not happen under his watch but under a FORMER Chief.

Second, not only has the current Chief done nothing wrong in connection with the Stacy Peterson investigation, he had the courage to do the right thing!. When he learned about the disappearance, and because Sgt. Peterson works for his Department, he passed the investigation to the Illinois State to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest.

It is terrible to WRONGFULLY target public officials. I do hope those who live in the community defend their Chief.

What do YOU think about this???

 My Update

I am home from the command center & the search areas. I was able to meet & talk to Focus Factor, Marlee, Liliputian & Old Fart.

They had more than enough food (YEAH) and enough help inside. The number of volunteers searching was about 140.

Found out news reported 40 searchers the other day & truth is it was only about 15 to 17.

There wasn't much to help with, they had plenty of help with inside things, so we talked to several people for a while & left. Found out they had to be out of the church as a headquarters by 5 p.m. today & as of the time I was there, no plans for a new headquarters yet.

No plans for a search tomorrow, going to use it as a day to regroup & hopefully start again on Monday.

I did see Sharon the neighbor there several times & of course Tim Miller of Equusearch, he looked very tired.

Although I am familiar with the area near the Peterson home, I drove around some of the search sites and other near areas. For all the times I've been in that area, I never noticed just how difficult this search is going to be.

It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. So many wooded areas, fields overgrown with weeds, rock quarries & so many retention ponds, not just by subdivisions but also in a all the industrial parks, which there are many of those within 2 or 3 miles of his house.

We swung back thru the church to see if they needed help loading up the food but there wasn't even a place to park and lots of people inside, so we figured they did have enough help.

We did see Sharon again outside & Old Fart.

This is an overwhelming area to search, maybe need more like thousands than a few hundred.

I do have one tidbit that I didn't get at the search center. (Nothing I heard there will be posted here.)

A lady that works for my husband went to get her hair cut last nite. She found out that Stacy also got her hair cut at the same place as they were talking about her & said the stylists there all liked Stacy but didn't like her husband. Said he would come with her & tell them how he wanted her hair cut!!!!!! Said he was very domineering over her.

Saw many sattelite news vans, didn't see Geraldo, but Focus Factor did. Odd, did not see one State Police car anywhere in the area. Perhaps they were somewhere else doing their own search.

Before we left to go there, local news had his mother on the phone, she said he was innocent, that she never knew of any restraining order taken out by Kathleen, never knew they had any problems, never knew Stach & DP had any problems etc. said they "don't need this at their age"!!! Said her husband had had a heart attack & she was trying to keep him from all this.

Then talked to some people who said it was on TV that his parents just arrived at his house but later heard it was his brother & sister, so not sure the parents went there or not.

The little kids are there with DP, but not the teenage ones.

So for now, we will have to wait & see if they find a new command center & how long EquuSearch will be here helping.

Is there a picture of the blue barrel?  I've driven throught that area and a couple of ideas come to mind.  Barrels are used along the road for construction.  Sometimes they put them by exits, lined up like bowling pins.  I believe some are used as a kind of 'cushion' in case someone hits them.  I've seen barrels in front of toll booths, along the side of the road, all kinds of places.

There is quite a bit of construction going on in that area.  If you look at the map that was posted, you'll see "55", if you panned east of the map, you'll see a "355", a north/south road that was added may 10 years ago.  There is major road construction to take 355 past 55 (south) and hook it up to the next large interstate, I believe is "57" (not sure if this is the exact number).

Winter is setting in fast.  Many companies are trying to get as much done on road construction as possible.  It's difficult, if not impossible, to pour concrete in freezing weather.  So, I imagine if someone put her in an area that is scheduled for concrete, she may already be under.  The tollway is 3 lanes in that area.  They use machines to do much of the work, and the 'driver' is not near the base of the road.  

I'm not sure anyone would notice a bit of gravel or dirt that was disturbed.  Probably think someone driving to fast or under the influence just went off the road and messed it up.  Pour it on, gotta get it done before everything freezes.

Another thing about the cold for those that never lived where it freezes.  When it gets cold, all the bugs are killed off.  No mosquitos, no flys, no ants (I think the ants hibernate).  If someone made a shallow grave, the site will soon be covered over with tree leaves.  Who would notice that the ground has been disturbed?  All you see is a carpet of leaves, and naked trees.

Bolingbrook is part of the out expansion of civilization from Chicago.  Lot of smaller roads being build, lots of houses, lots of strip malls, lots of forest preserves.  Lots of undeveloped forest preserve land.

Where could a body be dumped?

Dumpster - Bolingbrook is surrounded by many apartment complexes, condo developments, construction sites.  Any of these would be emptied on a regular bases.  Could she be in a landfill?

Water - Lots of retention ponds, lakes, ditches, quarries...could someone hide a body/barrel in the inlet to a retention pond?  Who looks at or cleans these?  In many areas, they 'cap' the inlet pipes with heavy duty grates to keep kids and pets out.  

Many of these areas have small airports.  Would this barrel fit in with others?  Are there places the BB police patrol and have access to that others would not?  Areas that are secluded?

Geraldo - transcribed by Snicker at CTV (thanks Snicker!):

Geraldo Update:
DP blames the media for terrorizing him and his children and for his 25 pound weight loss. Refuses to discuss either case per his attorneys' advice.
Knows KS's body will be exhumed on Monday.
Parents and relatives visited today and brought DP meals.
Similarities with Scott Peterson -- courted the media, tide of public opinion shifted, now he's "being terrorized by the media."
Review of fact about KS's death, discovery of her body, autopsy.
DP told GR that he is not surprised he is now a suspect in the disappearance of SP.
Pam Bosco -- Cassandra went into DP's house to retrieve Tina's ashes and is still there. Kids are crying.
Neighbor Sharon -- DP has never even asked her if she has heard from SP. Sharon believes that SP met with foul play.
Pam -- Wondering why they have not returned.
Sharon -- SP's kids are going to miss their mother. There is not going to be a good outcome.
GR -- Will go back to DP's house to see why Cassandra has not come out yet.


GR Update:
Interview with Richard Mims
Has known DP for decades and housesat for DP when the media became too much for him.
He's hiding out because a lot of strange things are going on with the case. I'm afraid of what might happen to me. Afraid of DP and the police department. With DP's strange behavior it's better that I just stay away from him. DP doesn't like betrayal. He thinks RM betrayed him and told him so. RM said his gut tells him that DP may be responsible for SP's disappearance.
DP said SP left that morning, but Sharon said both cars were in the driveway from 11:00am - 1:40pm.
RM apologized to Sharon for backing DP and now thinks the preponderence of the evidence points at DP.
Pam went to DP's house to see what's going on.
After the break, GR will discuss Kathleen Savio.


GR Update:
Martin, Debbie, and Cassandra have come out of DP's house and back to Sharon's house. DP was friendly and glad that they came over to get the ashes. Everyone was friendly. The kids were playing. Only Martin went in the house. DP said everyone's portraying him as a monster. DP said he's saying things to the media for a reason and Martin agrees for with his reasons. (Huh???) Martin said the kids are fine. Martin "hemhawing" when asked if he thought he was looking at a killer when he was speaking with DP.
KS kept documents in a briefcase which tell the story of what she was going through.
After a break they will talk with KS's family

GR Update:
KS's sister: DP was running around the house with a clothes basket gathering things up--took it out to his care. She asked what he was doing and he said he was gathering stuff for the kids. She is suspicious because Drew was in the house before the police arrived and then he was cleaning up the mess in the bathtub "so the kids won't see it."
Letter sent to KS October 2001 that stated DP was having an affair with a 17 year old and that many people, including the police chief knew about it. GR reading the letter from KS to the SA. Niece and nephew of KS have always been suspicious of KS's death and suspected DP. KS was a happy person and was planning on throwing a divorce party. Aunt Kitty was their babysitter. "She was murdered and he had something to do with it." Kitty told the family that she had these documents in a briefcase and if anything happened to her, they were to be sure they got the briefcase.
Neighbor Steve described the day KS was found. Body discovered with hair over her face, blood coming from her nose, did not notice blood-soaked hair, body was discolored. DP ran up the stairs and became very emotional. Nephew asked Steve if his name was on the incident report. Suspicious because they never heard of Steve until recently and never heard before that this guy was even there. Nephew wonders if Steve works with dead bodies because his description is extremely detailed. Suspicious that Ric Mims is off the scene and then Steve suddenly shows up. Steve claims his name is all over the reports. GR reading the autopsy report that says KS's hair is soaked in blood, but Steve says that that is absolutely untrue. Steve says he spoke periodically since KS's death and last spoke with him last September. Steve is questioning why none of this came out at the time. KS's family saying it wasn't because no one tried to get it out. Steve saying that all this stuff is being brought up about a coverup, but as a police officer, I would think it would have been brought up immediately. GR said he will discuss this in detail with medical experts and it seems this was an open and shut case of incompetence.



GR with doctors Baden, Wecht, and Spitz.
MB: It was a mistake--no disease, no drugs or alcohol. Adults don't drown in a bathtub.
CW: Concur with MB. Collegiality and internal loyalty among officers pales when compared to any other kind of relationships. (I think he was trying to say the opposite: other relationships pale when compared to the collegiality and loyalty among officers?) This case cries out for an involvement for justice at this time. 3 1/2 years ago should never have been signed off as a drowning.
JS: It is unlikely with the history and the gash in the head, this entire thing does not make much sense.
Interrupted for a break--mentioned earlier discovery by TES of a shallow grave . . .


GR Update:
Tim with TES: We were several places of interest. We have two areas of interest (would not say they were shallow graves). Police will go out and look at these areas of interest.

Cassandra Cales stated that she thinks that DP is responsible for SP's disappearance.

Let me make this very clear;

The phone conversation I had with Drew didn’t concern me much, till the media people started evalluaitng the call with me. That’s when I got CONCERNED. Then when I stopped by the pd to meet Tim Miller, I recieved some very evil looks from members of the pd and Tim felt something too cuase he said” you got to get out of here quick” Later I discussed this with him and he told me that he got a BAD feeling from one of the pd officers.Then I got SCARED!!!!!

Here are some thought from a friend.

Would a police officer have access to heavy duty body bags and gloves?  I think so.

Could an ultralight take off from somewhere other than an airport?  Could it fly below the radar in the area?  Would radar even notice an ultralight?  Does it need to file a flight plan?

I believe there are model airplane fields, and other such places in the BB area, open areas.

Could someone have secured a body in a HD bag, to an ultralight and taken off?  Could the cargo have been 'dropped' from a not so high altitude into an existing landfill?  One that is active?  Or some other place?

Could an ultralight be transported in an SUV?  Where do people store these things?

BTW, BB does have a newspaper, but my source said it is only published once a week.

Neighbor Who Found Savio Speaks Out
Carcerano: 'It Was Something I'll Never Forget'


POSTED: 10:13 pm CST November 8, 2007
UPDATED: 11:07 pm CST November 8, 2007


CHICAGO -- A man who said he was there when a Bolingbrook police sergeant found his third wife dead in a bathtub told his story to NBC5's Anna Davlantes Thursday.

Kathleen Savio, who was married to Sgt. Drew Peterson, was found dead in a bathtub of the couple's home shortly before their divorce became final. Savio's family has said it wanted the case to be reopened. With the disappearance of Peterson's wife, Stacy, authorities have turned their attention to Savio. Questions have mounted about whether Savio's death was truly accidental.

At the inquest, Savio's sister testified that her sister told her "if she should die, it may look like an accident, but it wasn't.

"She was terrified of him. He always threatened her."

Steve Carcerano, who was Peterson's neighbor when he was married to Savio, said finding the body would be forever fused into his memory.

"It's something you'd see in a movie; it was something I'll never forget," he said.

Peterson has summoned his neighbor to the house, because Peterson said he hadn't heard from his estranged wife in nearly two days, Davlantes reported. Peterson told Carcerano, who was a locksmith and was going to be at the house soon, to open up the house and see what was going on.

"I went from the closet to the bathroom," Carcerano said. "It looked like there was a rubber exercise ball or something in the whirlpool. When I looked down, it was Kathy. She was naked -- she was dead -- hair over her face."

Carcerano, who said Peterson was steps behind him when the body was discovered in the home that Savio and Peterson owned, described Peterson's reaction when he saw Savio's body.

"He ran upstairs and upon seeing her, he just broke down and started screaming, 'Oh my God, oh my God! What am I gonna tell my kids?'" Carcerano said

The Will County coroner is challenging the accidental ruling (no comma) and said in a statement on Wednesday that "certain aspects of Kathleen Savio's death raised concerns for me as well. In my professional opinion, having served at the time as the coroner for 14 years, it was my opinion that, at the very least, her death should have been ruled 'undetermined.'"

Carcerano said he has never thought twice about Savio's death being ruled accidental, until now.

"It certainly makes you think," he said. "I'm not going to sit here and lie about it."

Davlantes reported that official records document a history of alleged abuse in the marriage, and Savio's family said it would like to have her body exhumed to allow the coroner to reinvestigate her cause of death.

A few more thougths about the tollway extension -

355 extended past '55' (from Klass map) to '80'...opened to bicycle/runner for opening celebrations this weekend - 12 mile stretch.  Not open to vehicles yet.  Exits are to farmland.

Landscaping is not completed, so could someone bury a body there?

Accross the street from the new mall there is a lot of construction, retention ponds, a wetlands between Janes Ave & 355 just south of the Meier grocery.  Did anyone search the wetland/retention?

There are also a lot of sewer line construction, big box retailers, etc.

Whiskeygirl - thanks again for that info.

If I don't respond to a post in this thread it's because I'm busy watching the CTV forum, Gretawire, the NH thread and the front page of SM.  Also checking RU and 24ora on occasion.  So I can't really interact, only bring article and info to the thread.

Thanks for understanding  :wink:

A few more ideas ~

What vehicles does DP have access to as a police officer?  

Do any of these vehicles ave GPS or other location tracking that might offer some clues as to where he may have been at the time Stacy disappeared?  The time leading up to her disappearance or the days after?

Perhaps part of a 911, computer aided dispatch system?

Perhaps their personal vehicles had some kind of tracking system as well?

Klass...thanks for all you do.

Helpful post by Snicker at CTV:

To the best of my knowledge:
Wife #1 - Carol - two sons with DP, one of which is the PO who has reportedly taken care of the younger ones during this ordeal
Wife#2 - Victoria - no kids with DP
Wife#3 - Kathleen - two sons, both teenagers now and Stacy adopted them after Kathleen's death
Wife#4 - Stacy - one daughter and one son
Two additional children of DP, mothers unknown
Total DP children = 8 per Kathleen's sister

 CLTV just reported live that ISP has called off tomorrow mornings search for SP. They would not comment why but CLTV states ISP asks people not come out for search.

I actually listened to the video and they did say it.  Tomorrow is Veterans Day and there are activities in Bolingbrook.  The church which is the command post was holding services.  TES is taking a day off.  I just think it's due to those reasons and nothing else.  TES will be back searching Monday.

 Stay tuned.......There is a specific reason ISP called the search off.

I have no doubts it is unrelated to 355 opening. That would have nothing to do with anything.

My prediction was that there would be charges/an arrest by Monday.

I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I hope they have someone watching the certain areas they want to search.  I feel uncomfortable with them taking off.  This guy has friends in many places and lord knows what they will do if they know they aren't searching especially if they were getting close to where she was.  Look at what Aruba did they moved the body.

Monday is Veteran's day, not Sunday, right?  Maybe they just don't think enough would search on a Sunday?

But people are off from work on Monday I think so they could then, lots of them.

Specific reason does sound like something should be expected tomorrow, however, so we shall see.

I just with those two little kids were not in the care of this very strange and violent person who is their father.

This guy is a combination of Joran and Dennis Jacobs.  He is a dirty cop and no one is going to tell me that his fellow officers don't know.

As far as I could tell -- and I just came home from there after being there since Monday -- the ISP has not done a thing to support the search. As a matter of fact, I went with Tim to an interview in front of Drew's house yesterday and we got there just in time for it to start --it was live -- Tim parked on the curb where the cul de sac curved. The ISP told someone else that was with us that Tim needed to moved his car because he was parked too far out in the street from the curb. WTF!!??? So there's the support from the ISP!

Also a suspecious spot was found--suspecious enough to call in LE to check it out. This was the first time they were called out all week for anything. I went with LE and Tim to check it out and LE said that yes it did look like it could be something and they would take a good look at it on Tuesday. Again WTF????!!!!

(Can you tell it frustrates me? LOL)

It must be frustrating to see this happen.  Did anyone take pictures of the suspicious spot? 

I'm not familiar with how the ISP operates other than the service they provide on the tollway.   :wink:

I wonder how they schedule technicians?  A suspect spot could relate to a number of missing persons cases and perhaps to some unknown person that was dumped.

Would the ISP go out and tag or identify the spot?

Hi Marlee - Thanks for all the volunteer work you have been doing in the recent months. You have our support and you are certainly recognized a Victim's Rights Advocate...You are doing a great job..

I believe it's going to take a miracle to find SP. It's the legacy of Paulus Van Der Sloot . . . and a lot now know it -> unfortunately. Professional Bodybuilder Craig Titus and his professional bodybuilder wife used the exact words - no body no case - in the case where they killed their assistant.. So many people now know it's hard to prosecute someone without a body.. In the Titus case - LE found the body in a burned out Jaguar in the dessert. They are both charged with premeditated murder - destruction of evidence and a corpse.

Given enough time and diabolical motives - someone with an LE background - most likely paid attention to a good bit of the details that will make it hard to find SP. Drew Peterson knew he could be triangulated by his cell phone and probably did not take his with him when he disappeared Stacey.

Miracle do happen... and maybe there will be one here. It certainly will not be for lack of effort...

 - anyway - Good Job Marlee . . . thanks for making missing persons a priority in your life.

There is a special place in Heaven for you.

November 11th, 2007 at 11:01 am
OK, for those of u news junkies who r waiting for updates……………There is nothing going on at Drew’s house this morning. 2 local news vans and a national SAT truck are out front. The guy from the stretch limo went into the Sat truck. Drew’s brother left the house for about 25 minutes and came back with a bag. Breakfast I presume??????????? Several people showed up at Sharon’s house to search, but the search was called off due to the weather and they were given flyers to distribute.
That’s all the news for this Sunday morning !!

Is it me for did anyone find that spectacle at Drew's house last night to be "unbelievable" for lack of a better word?  No offense to the news agencies, they have a job to do but where were the cops (ISP)  if for no other reason than for "crowd control"?  Geraldo was there going into the house and talking to Drew.  The kids were sent into the house to get the ashes?  Maybe I'm a bit over cautious but Drew is an alledged murderer!  Why weren't the police there?  It was kayos from what I could tell on Geraldo's show.  Is this a police investigation or a circus?  I have never seen anything like it! 

Scott Dugan's post this morning reiterates the fact that no police are in the area.  Are they just going to let these civilians take the law into their own hands and have a free for all.  Surely someone from the ISP was watching this all come down on television.  Why did they not go there and control this?  What if someone had gotten hurt?  What if Drew took them hostage?  The many scenarios that could have happened are endless.  Thank goodness they didn't. 

At this stage of theinvestigation, (which I feel may be very close to the arrest of Drew for Kathleen's murder,) I hope none of these "activities" come back to haunt them.  It just seems to me that things are too laid back as far as police surveillance and investigation are concerned.  The family is getting impatient and are taking the law into their own hands.  We all know how important the ashes of Stacy's sister were to her but are they worth another person's life?  I'm sure Stacy would not have wanted them to do that.  Please, please these people need to be patient!

Family members and neighbors may speculate on who Drew really is but perhaps they don't know the real man they are up against and if this guy gets his fuse lit, there could be some awful consequences.  If any of the family is reading this.  Please be careful, don't unnecessarily place you or your children in danger.  Call ISP first before you do anything.  This is an ongoing police investigation.  There is a search ongoing for Stacy.  This is not CSI, for you it is a real life nightmare. If you are concerned about the children with Drew go to Child Services and see if they can assist you in checking on their welfare. Please everyone, be careful!

They haven't said or confirmed whether DP went up in that plane in the past couple of weeks, have they?   There was another case from NY, I think, where a doctor was suspected of using his plane.   This whole case creeps me out, from his dating a 17 year old at the age of 47, number of failed relationships, his line of work, the children involved and, of course, Stacy's disappearance.  (I'm sure there is more that I haven't included, but it's enough  :sad: )

The problem with the plane is we are talking a really small airport.  One of the posters at CTV works at Clow and said even there there probably wouldn't be a record.  Drew's plane wasn't kept at Clow it was kept at Cushing which is even smaller than Clow.

False Alarm Saturday In Search For Stacy Peterson
Remains Of Dog Found By Search Party Saturday
BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) ― After a false alarm, Stacy Peterson search crews came up empty again. Now with focus turning to Drew Peterson's third wife, a man familiar with that case is speaking up, as CBS 2's Mike Puccinelli reports.


Kathleen Savio's death was ruled an accidental drowning, but now police say teh killer staged the crime scene to make it look like an accident.

The man who found Kathleen Savio dead in a bathtub three years ago talked Saturday evening about the moment when Drew Peterson entered his ex-wife's home and looked at her dead body lying naked in a drained bathtub.


"I looked right into his eyes, right when that happened," said Steve Carcerano. "He was very emotional right away."


Carcerano says he still maintains Peterson's innocence.


But Savio's niece and nephew say that's ridiculous. They say Sgt. Peterson killed his third wife. And they say Friday's decision by the Will County State's Attorney to order her body exhumed was something Kathleen would have wanted -- so that in their view, justice delayed is no longer justice denied.


"At least to us we know that we were right and that she was right because she's the one who said he's going to kill me," said Charlie Doman, Savio's nephew.


Melissa Doman says she just wishes law enforcement officials had taken Kathleen's numerous claims of abuse seriously years ago.


"There's a lot of people who didn't take it seriously and because they didn't, my aunt's gone and poor Stacy's missing now for almost two weeks," said Melissa Doman.


Saturday Martin Forgue and one of Stacy's half sisters went to Stacy's house to recover an urn containing the ashes of Stacy's late sister Tina who died recently from cancer. Forgue said Peterson looked and seemed tired. He also said the 53-year old cop tried to explain why Stacy is missing.


"He just said that she left, circumstances were all weird, all this stuff is blowing up around him and people are twisting some stuff, making him look like a monster," said Martin Forgue, a relative of Stacy's.


Peterson remained in seclusion Saturday in his home. He said, "no comment," when asked if the children were going to be staying with someone else. Peterson's children were ushered into the house by a relative Saturday amidst a media throng.



There will be no search Sunday. Search teams will go out again on Monday.

Saturday's search for Stacy Peterson led search teams to discover the remains of animal bones Saturday. Sources told CBS 2 sister station WBBM Newsradio 780 that search teams from the professional search group Texas Equusearch came upon what was suspected to be a shallow grave.

Texas Equusearch founder and head Tim Miller would not say where the discovery was made, but said it was not in the Green Valley Forest Preserve near Naperville where teams had been searching earlier Saturday. He said they had been looking about six miles from the search command post -- the Westbrook Christian Church, at 1175 Lily Cache Rd. in Bolingbrook.

Peterson's husband, Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, 53, has been stripped of his powers and authorities are looking at him Saturday as a suspect in the disappearance of his wife. He was a member of the Bolingbrook police force for 29 years – six years longer than his missing wife Stacy has even been alive.

Stacy Peterson has been missing for nearly two weeks, and Drew Peterson has insisted that she left him voluntarily and called to say she was doing so.

But on Friday, Capt. Carl Dobrich said, "Drew Peterson has gone from being a person of interest to clearly being a suspect."

Dobrich added, "I would say the case has shifted now from missing persons case to a potential homicide."

Late Friday, two Bolingbrook police officers came to the Peterson house with written notice that Drew Peterson is no longer one of them; that pending an internal affairs investigation he is suspended from the force without pay. Peterson never came to the door.

This is the first step the police department takes before firing an officer.

In addition, a neighbor of Drew Peterson's said she might be seeking an order of protection. She said a couple of nights ago, Drew Peterson approached her constantly screaming her name, and she and her family do not feel safe anymore.

Stacy disappeared on Oct. 28. After her family filed a missing persons report, police conducted two separate searches at the Peterson home, on the house, the vehicles, and a trailer, Dobrich said at a news conference Friday.

"Subsequent to that search warrant, we went back several days later on another search warrant based on information that was learned after the first search warrant," Dobrich said.

Based upon the information learned since then, police have concluded that the case had gone "from a missing persons case to a potential homicide case," Dobrich said.

"Early on, we looked at this as a missing persons case, but also believed strongly that based on the (Kathleen) Savio investigation (into the death of Drew Peterson's third wife) and the information that we were gleaning within the first 24 hours of the missing persons case with Stacy, was starting to strongly point to Drew Peterson being a person of interest," Dobrich said. "I would say that right now, Drew Peterson has gone from being a person of interest to clearly being a suspect."

Dobrich hinted that evidence was found in the recent searches of the Peterson house, perhaps computer evidence which is changing the nature of this case.

A neighbor of Drew Peterson said she and her family are afraid to stay in their house at night, and they may seek a restraining order to keep him from their house. It stems from an incident in which she called police after she said Drew Peterson approached her in her driveway, repeatedly screaming her name.

"The thing that really concerned me most of all is that he would go into my backyard and do it again, while the police officer's in the front of the yard," said neighbor Sharon Bychowski. "That sounds just like someone that's coming a little unglued."

Stacy Peterson's friends and family consider her disappearance highly suspicious. A spokesperson for Stacy's family talked with reporters Friday night.

"It's been a whole range of emotions for me -- but, there is some relief in the fact that we are making progress with the case," said Pamela Kay Bosco.

And, she had this message for Drew Peterson: "Be honest with yourself -- come forward -- give information to police if you have anything... just be honest."

Meanwhile, the Will County state's attorney's office announced Friday they plan to exhume Kathleen Savio, who drowned in a bathtub three years ago. Her death was ruled accidental at the time, but authorities now say tell-tale signs of trauma including bruising and head injuries found on Savio's body may mean her death may have been staged to appear accidental.

Lots fields and river searched, Mr Drew is very smart not to put at fields, dogs can find easy.

Could it be stored in a storage lockers? Romeoville has storage lockers on route 53 south of 135 street where the belair drive in movie was, if anyone here been searching. the storage lockers could hold the answers, if Mr Drew have a storage locker it will not be on his name. it will be a good idea to have dogs walk around the lockers... 
 


Given that this is often a hiding place, I hope they have all in the area been searched with the dogs.

This part caught my eye.

"Lots fields and river searched, Mr Drew is very smart not to put at fields, dogs can find easy. Could it be stored in a storage lockers?

I don't know where I saw this - maybe a movie, a TV show, new reports - but I never forgot it. For example, someone puts a body in a sealed container and takes it to the storage locker. I've also heard about bodies in freezers in storage lockers, but that would have to be arranged ahead of time. We know that Drew planned this. Perhaps he bought a freezer months ago and stored her there. Then years later, the police find the locker and body.

The one nagging thing is that he didn't leave any clues behind. I would consider him very smart, cunning and cagey. As a policeman, he would know what to do without leaving any traces behind. Maybe they will never find her body. Too bad they can't legally "water board" him to get him to talk.

I believe he will go down for something. It would be ironic if he goes down for the bathtub murder of Kathleen, which they are working on now.

On Saturday I think there was close to 120-130 searchers, more than enough food, water, paper products etc.

I spent a fair amout of time being a parking lot attendent.  :D  The church was having 2 after noon recitals and we were asked to have searchers park  in the back-side lot so I picked that task.

New reports as of tonight:
Tim said they had some areas of interest. Tim went back to TX to get more equipment for use in the searches. Tim believes she will be found in the water. Looking for blue barrels in the water.
Kitty's letters to media, ASA, handwritten notes about anything ever happened to her all kept in a briefcase.
Current SA would not say the previous investigators dropped the ball, but did say that something just wasn't right with KS's death being called an "accident."
More after the break.

Three detectives in DP's house today? Reporter didn't see it.
Two plain-clothes ISP officers canvassed the neighborhood today, but couldn't really get anyone to say what it was about. Reporter assumed it was to continue their investigation.
Exhumation of KS may be tomorrow--has not been confirmed. Family would like it to be as private as possible.
Tim Miller found a 7' X 3' area that appeared to be a shallow grave yesterday--doesn't think it is related to Stacy, but could be related to the Lisa Stebic case

As far as I could tell -- and I just came home from there after being there since Monday -- the ISP has not done a thing to support the search. As a matter of fact, I went with Tim to an interview in front of Drew's house yesterday and we got there just in time for it to start --it was live -- Tim parked on the curb where the cul de sac curved. The ISP told someone else that was with us that Tim needed to moved his car because he was parked too far out in the street from the curb. WTF!!??? So there's the support from the ISP!

Also a suspecious spot was found--suspecious enough to call in LE to check it out. This was the first time they were called out all week for anything. I went with LE and Tim to check it out and LE said that yes it did look like it could be something and they would take a good look at it on Tuesday. Again WTF????!!!!

(Can you tell it frustrates me? LOL)

It must be frustrating to see this happen.  Did anyone take pictures of the suspicious spot? 

I'm not familiar with how the ISP operates other than the service they provide on the tollway.   :wink:

I wonder how they schedule technicians?  A suspect spot could relate to a number of missing persons cases and perhaps to some unknown person that was dumped.

Would the ISP go out and tag or identify the spot?



Any further information on this "suspicious" spot?  Where was it?  Any pictures?

Search firm's chief heads to South to help find missing teens
Crews to focus on water before ice sets in

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/...hi_tab01_layout

Highlights:
The director of a national search firm that has been scouring fields and woods for Stacy Peterson said Sunday he is leaving Illinois to start searches for two missing teens in the South. Tim Miller, founder and director of Texas EquuSearch, has been organizing daily searches for the mother of two who was last seen by her husband Oct. 28.

Miller said he spent Sunday reviewing last week's findings, including hundreds of aerial images. In the coming days, volunteers will scale back the ground search and concentrate on bodies of water before icy temperatures make those searches impossible, he said. "I don't think it's going to be long" before searchers uncover something, he said. He added, however, that he felt the same way last Monday. Miller said he is leaving because of searches for missing teenagers in Alabama and Georgia but would return to Bolingbrook midweek. "I will be back," he said.

If Kathleen Savio was murdered, other, terrible questions loom

The urgent question, "What happened to Stacy Peterson?" is now at least temporarily eclipsed by the question, "Why wasn't the cause of Kathleen Savio's death investigated more thoroughly back in 2004?"

 Savio (right) was the third wife of Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson, and she was found dead in her bathtub shortly before their divorce was to be finalized.
(http://blogs.chicagotribune.com/news_columnists_ezorn/images/2007/11/10/stacypeterson.jpg)(http://blogs.chicagotribune.com/news_columnists_ezorn/images/2007/11/10/savio.jpg)

 Stacy Peterson (left) is, of course, Sgt. Peterson's fourth wife , and her Oct. 29 disappearance has become the latest in the sad series of real-life  mysteries that grip cable-news watchers coast to coast. 

Friday, when the Illinois State Police took the highly unusual step of naming Sgt. Peterson a suspect in his wife's disappearance, we learned from Will County prosecutors that,  gee, in retrospect, Savio's death three years ago had "signs indicating it was a homicide."

Savio's  wounds and the blood evidence were inconsistent with the ruling  made at the time that she'd accidentally drowned in the tub, prosecutors said.

In their petition, prosecutors wrote that the head wound "did not render her unconscious" and that "evidence is consistent with the 'staging' of an accident to conceal a homicide."

"The abrasions that were seen on her left buttock and her elbow are not the type of injuries that would occur on a smooth surface as those in the tub area," Will County State's Atty. James Glasgow said....

"No one drowns in a bathtub without being unconscious," Glasgow said, adding the (independent  medical) examiner will look for "fractures of bones [and] subcutaneous bruises that could indicate choking or other injuries" (in a new autopsy)...

Glasgow appeared to back up members of Savio's family who have said Peterson threatened to kill her and abused her physically, but that police and prosecutors never charged him.

Was the earlier ruling an oversight?  An error made in haste? Or did Sgt. Peterson get the  benefit of  doubt in the murder investigation and in the domestic abuses cases because of his status as a police officer? And who is ultimately accountable for these decisions?

Such questions demands furious scrutiny: If the suspicions of the Illinois State Police prove true,   Stacy Peterson may have paid for that ruling with her life.

Post by: Patti on November 12, 2007, 04:07:47 AM
I just read the autopsy report on Kathleen Savio - Shocking!

I am not a doctor, but after reading the report, it appears that there was a struggle.  There is bruising on her arms, thighs and hands not to mention the contusion to the head.  The finger prints to the chest area could indicate that she was pushed or held under water.  However, I read that there was no water in the tub.  The findings of drowning is based on the cone of mucus found in the nose.  Is it possible that she may have been beaten in that tub, or, merely, placed in the tub after the fact?

Surely, if she had drowned in the tub, after hitting her head, the hair would be washed clean of most, if not all of the blood.  However, the description of there being dried blood throughout the hair indicates to me that there was no water in the tub, in which she was supposed to have drowned in.

Another thing that is troubling is the condition of the lungs.  The autopsy doesn't mention any fluid in the lungs.  And again the doctor clearly states that he bases his conclusion on the fluid that had discharged and formed a cone from the nostils, she may have simply had a cold, as the autopsy clearly states that there was a minimal sign of bronchitis.  She may not have drowned, at all.

Drowning or no, the other injuries, especially the brusing at the elbows indicate, to me that she was pushed (again consistent with the finger prints to the chest area) and probably fell, catching herself on her elbows at such a force that would cause a bruising of that area.  The bruising of the right index finger is classically what is called a "defensive wound" and is consistant with her taking a beating.

Now the only question is:

How does a coroner ignore the obvious and indicate a, mere, drowning when a person is displaying signs of a struggle?  How can a woman who, according to the autopsy, is in good health come to have a contusion to the skull area?  Surely, there is no indication of a heart attack, aneurysum, or stroke.  There is nothing, that would indicate that the blow to the head could have come from passing out from natural causes.  Besides, while people slip in bathtubs and drown all the time, that is pretty hard to do with no water present.

There is somthing very wrong in Will County that has been ignored.  Had there been a fair investigation into the death of Kathleen Savio, Stacy Peterson would still be with us.

I suggest that Will County check their records for any unsolved cases in their area involving the beating deaths of women, even prostitutes.  Obviously, this officer of the law would have had plenty of opportunities to come in contact with women both in dating and in the execution of his job.

I think the storage unit is a possibility.  That surrounding area has quite a few.  From memory, here are some that are older and not as secure as they make newer facilities.  Nonsecure = no fence, security card/number access, no video, etc.  I'm not sure if anyone would notice if someone left a body in a locker. 

There are also quite a few vacant industrial/commercial buildings. 

Here is a map of county forest preserves, for the county north Bolingbrook, "DuPage County".  I believe the Peterson home would be in the rectangular area that is used for a 'key', lower left hand corner.  For reference, note "O'Hare" airport upper right corner of this map.   Also note where '355' and '55' would meet at the bottom of the map.

http://www.dupageforest.com/preserves/preserves.html


Here is a map of the "Will County" forest preserve district.  In the 'orange' colored section (click to expand) you can see Bolingbrook in the upper right hand corner.  Much of Will County is not developed.

http://www.fpdwc.org/countymap.cfm

For those that are 'map' inclined, note the junction of '355' and '55' is at the eastern boundary of Bolingbrook.

Volunteers to search again today for Stacy Peterson

November 12, 2007
BY ANNIE SWEENEY Staff Reporter

The volunteer search for Stacy Peterson will resume this morning, the family of the missing Bolingbrook woman said.

The search for Peterson, who was last seen Oct. 28, was halted Sunday at the request of Illinois State Police, a family spokeswoman said.

Pam Bosco said State Police asked them to hold off Sunday, but this could not be confirmed with investigators. Texas Equusearch, the rescue group leading the search for Peterson, a 23-year-old mother of two, had already planned to take a break Sunday to review its maps.

"We were told as the investigation got more in-depth, they wanted it to be more controlled," Bosco said, referring to the rescue group.

Volunteers who showed up Sunday to help search were asked to distribute leaflets. But the ground search will resume at 8 a.m. today at Westbrook Christian Church, 1175 Lily Cache Lane in Bolingbrook.

"I believe we will resolve this," Bosco said. "We don't want to lose hope that we're going to find her. We'll eventually find the answers and resolve this case."

Peterson's husband, Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, has been named a suspect in her disappearance.

Investigators are also reviewing the death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, who was found dead in her bathtub in 2004.

Email from The Scene: FNC’s Jeff Goldblatt Outside Sgt. Peterson’s Home
by Greta Van Susteren
Email just received from FNC’s Jeff Goldblatt: 

The email below is to just give you the behind the scenes…it takes you inside our work….and also note how rumors arise, and we are compelled to chase them down ….just in case they are true:

From: Goldblatt, Jeff
To: Van Susteren, Greta
Sent: Mon Nov 12 11:39:30 2007
Subject: Morning

There is rampant speculation out here in Bolingbrook among some of my competitors covering this story. The latest rumor: that a relative or friend of Drew Peterson has committed suicide, because the heat of police questioning got to him. It’s mind boggling how misinformation gets spread on some of these stories. Then again, it’s our business to gather information, and you still have to turn a story, even when police aren’t talking.

FYI: the Will County State’s Attorney will not reveal when the exhumation of the body of Kathleen Savio will take place. However, it seems as if today is unlikely, because of the observance of Veteran’s Day. Typically, this is a day for families to visit cemeteries to pay respects to loved ones, and it seems implausible that a high-profile exhumation would take place, and potentially disrupt those visiting other gravesites.

Have a good one…

Note: Jeff emailed me again to make sure you know that neither Sgt. Peterson’s brother nor Ric Mims (his friend) is dead. The above is meant just to show you how rumors send us scrambling…

Greta, could you find out if Drew’s attorney (Fred Morelli) is at all related to Alex Morelli, the Bolingbrook policeman who witnessed the ’supposed’ will of Kathleen Savio.

Maybe someone from Bolingbrook would know.

I spent every day last week working with EquuSearch on the ground searching for Stacy Peterson. I also worked the weekend prior with family and friends of Stacy searching a nearby preserve. I do not know Stacy nor did I know the family or any close friends prior to the search efforts.

Plainfield Mom who has posted here so graciously brought food for the EquuSearch volunteers today. She is a wonderful person and is always willing to help. She also helped in the massive Lisa Stebic search at Silver Springs State Park and she attended the six month vigil that was held for Lisa a couple of weeks ago (where I met her in person).


I am currently active in the search for the missing mother of two, Lisa Stebic. From 9:00 AM to nearly 7:00 PM all day yesterday, Sunday, another devoted person and I searched for her remains. The other individual is just as dedicated as I am to finding the remains of Lisa Stebic. We will not give up and pray that Justice will be served. It is very important to both of us that justice be served.

The ground search for Stacy was terminated for Sunday and the focus now is on the water by utilizing sonar technology as the information EquuSearch is in possession of lead them to believe this is where she will be found. It appears that there will be limited ground searching done with horses and on foot. Through my close friend, we were able to provide Tim Miller of EquuSearch a helicopter on Wednesday (or Thursday) of last week and then arranged for a plane on Saturday (no helicopter available on such short notice) for the search efforts. There is a lot of water area to cover in this region. I heard the helicopter pilot was amazing, allowing them in very remote areas and getting almost close enough to reach out and touch the ground.

It is so wonderful to see so many people coming together in a united front searching for nearly a needle in a haystack all in the efforts to give the family hope and to see that justice will eventually be served. Most of us on this planet are still a really great bunch of people! Everyone pat your back if you fit into this great bunch!

With respect to the media being on top of the search efforts in live fashion; I understand this is the hottest story since Lisa Stebic went missing but I also understand the delicate nature of the situation and the mindset of the beast behind the crime, as is apparent by the way he hides under his cowboy bandanna covering his face. I pray that the media does NOT get a hold of any information about a legitimate discovery of the body until AFTER the man is arrested, or at least if they do get a hold of such information they wait until after an arrest is made to broadcast it. I fear that prior knowledge of a legitimate find will lead him on a “Jim Jones” mentality path and he will not only take his own life but that of his children as well. We must all take special note to remember the children in all of this for they are victims and will continue to be victims over and over gain for a long time to come.

The man [Drew Peterson] is a coward and it is apparent that he choses to not do what is right. I realize that one is presume innocent until proven guilty but I also know that just because one is “presumed” innocent doesn’t mean that it’s not possible for their guiltiness to be as obvious as a fat dog.

I beg the media to please report “responsibly” in this delicate and highly stressful situation. More than using kid gloves, please, tread wisely; always with the thought of the well being of those children in mind and what could potentially happen to them should the person who has them in their care feel threatened by the information that is being presented in live media coverage.

Love your reporting, Greta.

I asked the same question a couple of days ago...then I heard on the news this morning (can't remember what station--Fox, perhaps) that DHS or whatever for Illinois cannot do anything until he is arrested. Sounds pretty weird to me, but that is what was said.

I don't believe that because people have said he was "acting crazy."  Not all people acting crazy get arrested.

Sounds like he has some more of those friends of his in Children's Services to me.

No kidding Anna, you know you hear everyday of people loosing custody of their childred for way less than this ... If and when they do arrest him, how is that going to work with the children?  It's almost like setting them up to be in a bad situation.  We could only hope and pray there is much more going on than we are aware of ... Who takes responsibility if God forbid something does happen?  Oh, yeah, AFTER the fact, we get the president to sign some law?

I just hope a pray for the children it doesnt turn out to be too little too late type of situation.

I wonder if they are already afraid to approach him on this for fear of what he would do?  They need to get him far away from the children like ask him to come to police station to ID something or other and then snatch them while he is away.

But I bet he would take the kids to the station with him.  I think he is already using them as a sort of shield, too.  I sure hope I am wrong but does anybody else get that feeling or is it just me?

Another email just received from my colleague FNC’s Jeff Goldblatt …..he is at the scene in Bolingbrook, Illinois (and make sure you listen to GretaCast in the the blog entry below…it is a conversation with Sgt. Peterson’s friend - maybe ex friend now - Ric Mims…you can listen / eavesdrop on our convesation by clicking on the blue box..)

Subject: Here ya go

A ray of hope this afternoon among those looking for Stacy Peterson. Family spokeswoman, Pamela Bosco just held a press conference in Bolingbrook to brief reporters on today’s search, which included 70 volunteers. She says, Illinois State Police has provided search teams with new information about new areas, which will be searched tomorrow. “We were given…some information, that police have had, that we were now provided, they are leading us into another area.” Bosco was short on specifics on the location for tomorrow’s search. And I don’t blame her. After all, her first mission is to find Stacy…not to aid reporters.

On another note, it seems likely that tomorrow will be the day to unearth the body of Kathleen Savio. A tent was put up today at the suburban Chicago cemetery where Savio was buried nearly four years ago, presumably to give the Savio family their privacy. I talked to Kathleen’s niece, Melissa, a few hours ago. She was hopeful that the exhumation would take place at night. She stressed how appreciation to the media for helping bring to light the suspicious manner of her aunt’s death.. The family believes the media has helped shine the truth on the death of Kathleen. That said, they feel the exhumation should be a family affair, with the media kept away.

It is absolutely ironic that after all these years the families of Kathleen Savio and Stacy Peterson have formed this pact of solidarity. Remember, Drew and Stacy said their “I Do’s,” a mere 8 days after the finalization of Drew’s divorce to Kathleen. And Stacy Peterson had just given birth to her son Anthony. When asked by a reporter today about the imminent exhumation, Pamela Bosco said, “I think both sides are very happy. I think it will provide a lot of answers to the questions we have and hopefully, progress the case a little bit faster than it is.”

Have a great show tonight. I’ll be back here early tomorrow morning.

 Dan Abrams Update:
Pam Bosco said that SP's mother leaving their family has nothing to do with SP's disappearance and the circumstances were completely different. She said "Disappearing is not an inherited trait, as far as I know."
New evidence re KS's death was discovered during the investigation of SP's disappearance and that evidence formed the basis for the reopening of the investigation into KS's death and the exhumation of her body.
Dr. Kobilinski stated that KS's death is suspicious and detailed why.
The exhumation is expected to take place within the next 24 hours. Should take 4-6 hours.
Dr. K said exhumation and examination of her body may not produce any further evidence as to COD if her body has deteriorated to much to determine anything new.

 Greta Update:
SP Missing Person case is now a Possible Homocide
Interview with Wife #2's (Victoria) daugher Lisa (in profile so she protects her privacy). Her mother was married to DP from 1982 to 1992--while Lisa was ages 9-17--and she lived with them during their marriage. DP was extremely strict and sometimes not very nice. He punished her by hitting her with a belt and he handled the discipline in their home. From the outside their marriage looked good, but it wasn't. He was very abusive and watched every move her mother made. Victoria was not allowed to have friends or talk to family--only person DP wanted her to have in her life was him. Lisa did not see, but heard the physical abuse of her mother. He did a lot of mental abuse to her mother. Victoria wanted out because DP had not been faithful to her for many years. He was dating KS while married to Victoria. Their house and business was tapped and he was doing everything he could to protect his assets. They found out afterward that the phones had been tapped. DP still talks to Victoria. He just seems to pop up. DP talked toVictoria a couple of months ago. Her mother is still cordial to DP -- feels she has to be because she is still afraid of him. DP has told her mom that he can hurt her and she feels obligated to be nice to him to protect herself. DP called to tell Victoria that KS had died, that it was an accident and some people might try to contact her. Victoria wondered about DP's involvement in KS's death. Lisa told Victoria about Stacy's disappearance. Lisa wanted her identity protected because she feared DP her whole life, but she no longer does, so she's not hiding from him now, she just wants to maintain her anonymity now. Victoria is still very cautious and careful now because she's extremely scared of DP. The whole idea of DP being loose now causes Victoria to be fearful because DP told her "I could kill you and make it look like an accident." She relayed this to her daughter within the last couple of weeks.

Greta Update
Interview with Dr. Baden and Steve (friend of DP who claims he first saw the body of KS after death)
KS was found sitting up, but leaning forward to one side with her head down and her hair over her face.
Dr. said due to the levitity, KS would have died several hours before she was found and he would want to know where any suspects were during the time period earlier in the day.
No evidence that she was preparing to take a bath or had just finished a bath--no bathrobe or towels set out in the bathroom.
The tub was a small oval whirlpool bath.


Greta Update:
SP's mother disappeared when she was 15. Mother had a pattern of visiting for a week, disappearing for several months, visiting for a week, and disappearing again, etc. But the last time she left she never returned. SP's parents were divorced before her last disappearance and he had remarried.
Christie Cales (SP's mother) left and never returned not long after her second daughter (Lacy) died. Another daughter died previously.
Yelton Cales (SP's brother) is in prison right now for sexual assault -- victim was 15 and he was 23.
SP's father Anthony Cales is alive, but not a big part of the family's life. There was alcohol abuse.
Sisters Cassandra and Tina were very close to SP. Tina died last year of colon cancer and it was her ashes that were retrieved from DP's house last weekend during GR's show.

My theory is that Stacy didn't have a good child hood, and Drew came along and sweet talked her (lied to her) and manipulated her into thinking he was Mr. Perfect. Psychopaths tend to be sometimes good liars and very deceptive and manipulative.

I think as time went by and the smarter and the more street smart Stacy got, she wanted out. She didn't want to be abused anymore. So she tried to leave, Drew found out and killed her. Power and control being the motive. She wasn't going to be his property, and his ego cannot take being left, so he killed her.

I think Stacy was VERY courageous, and she had learned a lot since she was 17. It is so sad that Drew found out and murdered her.

I think Illinois has the death penalty, because this evil monster deserves it.

I say we beat him up, drown him, bring him back and them slit his throat and dump his body somewhere and be done with it. That would make the punishment fit the crime.

I agree.

On Dana tonight Wendy Murphy talked about vigilante justice tonight and how she understood why people are doing it more and more.  People have lost their faith in law enforcement because of people like Drew Peterson and other bad cops.  In this case it would be well deserved.

 I've been thinking long and hard about KS "drowning" in the tub and this is what I've come up with after reading the autopsy report and listening to reports:

Given the description of KS's body in the autopsy, she was probably in a fetal position with her head toward the left end of the tub where the faucet is (it is mounted off-center toward the left as you're looking at the tub) with her legs bent under her (the tub was too short for her to sit with her legs extended), leaning toward her left side with her head down and her hair over the top of her head.

Lividity is the pooling of blood in the lowest areas of the body after death, so if her chest was the area of the lividity, her head would have to have been on the bottom of the tub probably facing to the right. Fingerprint blanching (blanching is like when you press your arm after a sunburn and it stays white for a few seconds--blanching is areas void of blood or discoloration) was noted on her breasts, left thigh and calf. If her arms had been held toward her chest (in a defensive posture) between her chest and her left leg postmortem, the spots where her fingers and arm were pressed would have less visible lividity (blanching).

Her hair was soaked in blood--which may have appeared wet but not necessarily wet with blood since the blood would have darkened after being there so long. Her eyes were closed and her tongue was clenched between her teeth. There was wrinkling (or "pruning") of her left hand and palm indicating they had been submerged in water for a while (maybe her left hand landed between her legs and not pressed up against her chest as her right one was).

There was a 1" laceration on the left side of her head near the bump where the head head begins to slope down to her neck, a 3" x 1" irregular shaped abrasion on her left buttock, a 1" x 3/4" faint purple bruise on the outside of her left thigh, 3/8" circular bruises midway up both her shins, three oval purple bruises 1-2" in diameter on the lower quadrant of her abdomen, a circular 3/8" abrasion on her left elbow, 1/2" and 1/4" linear abrasions on her right wrist, and a circular 1/8" abrasion on the top of her right first finger.

From the above I surmise her attacker probably filled the tub with water ahead of time, maybe when she was not at home, and when she arrived home, he attacked her, made her strip her clothes off through intimidation with the nightstick, forced/drug her upstairs, manhandled her into the tub and held her head under the water. She may have received the laceration on her head by fighting to lift her head out of the water and hitting it on the faucet. She may have received the matching bruises on her shins either by being struck across the legs with a night stick, by being attacked from behind and falling forward against a stair or by being lifted into the tub while struggling against the knee high tiled wall around the tub. She probably received the circular bruises to her stomach from the end of a nightstick, the abrasions on her left buttock and elbow were probably from being dragged to the bathroom; and the rest of the injuries were probably defensive wounds. The drain may have been opened slightly by hitting the lever during the struggle, so the water drained out rather than staying in the tub as the attacker expected it to. Any water that may have gotten on the floor or other evidence of a struggle was probably cleaned up with bathtowels from the bathroom.

KS's sister said that when she arrived at KS's house DP was running around the house picking up laundry and throwing it into a laundry basket, which he later took out to his vehicle. My guess is the clothes Kathleen wore when she was attacked and the "clean-up" towels were the items DP removed from the house.

Authorities Exhume Cop's 3rd Ex-Wife's Body, Search Continues for Missing 4th Wife Stacy Peterson
Tuesday , November 13, 2007


 BOLINGBROOK, Ill. —

Authorities exhumed the body of a Chicago suburb cop's third ex-wife Tuesday to take a second look at how she died nearly four years ago after investigators reopened the case following the disappearance of his fourth wife.

A crane hoisted Savio's white casket from the Queen of Heaven Catholic Cemetery west of Chicago as a Catholic priest stood by on the family's request to watch the body being unearthed.

Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson, 53, is a suspect in the disappearance of his current wife, Stacy Peterson, 23. Stacy Peterson's family reported her missing on Oct. 29 after she didn't show up at a friend's house.

Kathleen Savio, Drew Peterson's third ex-wife, was found dead in a waterless bathtub in 2004. The coroner who reviewed Savio's death questions the autopsy, which ruled it an accidental death.

The autopsy report found that Savio had a one-inch "blunt laceration" on the left side of her scalp, her "hair is soaked with blood" and she also had abrasions or bruises on seven different places on her body.

Despite this, Dr. Bryan Mitchell — the forensic pathologist who conducted the initial autopsy — wrote in his opinion that her death "is ascribed to drowning."

The exhumation will likely review the first autopsy, conduct a toxicology report and x-rays to determine if there were any broken bones, said Katherine Ramsland, who has worked on exhumation teams in potential criminal investigations.

"They will reexamine based on a new hypothesis of what happened," Ramsland said, a forensic psychology professor at DeSales University. "They have a reason and they're now going to look at her body against this new hypothesis."

Investigators are likely reviewing Drew Peterson's marriages to determine if there is a history of domestic abuse or any behavior patterns that would indicate the possibility of foul play, Ramsland said.

"Somebody who is going to kill another person isn't just going to act out of the blue," Ramsland said. "Certain behaviors point to it."

State's Attorney James Glasgow has said evidence suggests that someone killed Savio and tried to make it look like an accident.

Documents show that Savio filed for an emergency order of protection from her husband, writing in the file that "he wants me dead and if he has to he will burn the house down just to shut me up."

The family of Stacy Peterson hopes that the exhumation of Savio's body will lead to some more answers that could help in the search for their loved one.

"We're anxious for it," said Pam Bosco, a family spokeswoman. "I think it will provide a lot of answers to the questions we have and hopefully, progress the case a little bit faster."

Stacy Peterson's family says she would have never left her two young children. Drew Peterson said his wife called him to say she was leaving him.

Charlie Savio, Kathleen Savio's nephew, was upset about media coverage Tuesday morning at his aunt's grave.

"It's one thing that her two kids lose her," Charlie Savio told FOX News. "Then, they have to lose their mother figure (Stacy Peterson). And now they have to see their mom's coffin coming out."

No family members were at the exhumation because of late notice from authorities.

This is so sad on so many different levels... Especially those little children.  My heart breaks for them.  Even though they are so young - they know something is going on, that their mommy isn't there, they know something isn't right.  God Bless those babies.

About Kathleen - I read where the autopsy said something about a "cone" in her nasal passages indicating drowning... WOuld they not take it a bit further and see if there is water in the lungs???  I saw no mention of that. 

What really gets me, is that common SENSE would make you question the original autopsy findings.  No water in the tub? hair soaked in blood?  bruises?  the cut?  no evidence of alcohol or drugs, yet a young healthy woman drowns in a bathtub?  Come on!  From pictures, that tub doesn't appear that large...

I sincerely hope there will be some answers from the exhumation.  Perhaps if answers are found they may lead to answers for Stacy.

by Greta Van Susteren

 This press release (below) just forwarded to me by OTR Producer Steph Watts (on the ground in Bolingbrook, Illinois):

[Programming note: tonight at 10pm ON THE RECORD you will hear from one of the jurors at the coroner’s inquest that concluded Kathleen Savio’s bathtub March 04 death was an “accident.”  The guest wants to respond to things said or implied by the coroner - who incidentally, as noted below, was at the exhumation….don’t miss this interview!)

Press update: Kathleen Savio exhumation

JOLIET – The body of Kathleen Savio was exhumed early today (Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2007) at Queen of Heaven Catholic Cemetery in Hillside.

Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow, Will County Coroner Patrick O’Neil and investigators from the Illinois State Police and the state’s attorney’s office were present during the exhumation.

The area surrounding the gravesite was contained to law enforcement officials and cemetery personnel during the exhumation.

Kathleen Savio’s family, however, had requested a Roman Catholic priest be present. To respect the family’s wishes, the state’s attorney’s office contacted the Rev. Chris Groh, who is chaplain for the Joliet Police Department and a trusted member of Will County’s law enforcement community. Father Groh led a short prayer service at the gravesite. He was joined by the Rev. Patrick Pollard, Archdiocesan Director of Catholic Cemeteries for the Archdiocese of Chicago.

Kathleen Savio’s remains were transported to the Will County morgue. An autopsy will be conducted by an independent medical examiner later today. Results of the autopsy are not expected to be available to investigators for several days. The autopsy results will be part of the ongoing investigation into Kathleen Savio’s death and will not be released to the public.

Autopsy planned on Savio's exhumed body
Search continues for Peterson

 By Dan Ponce
November 13, 2007 - An afternoon autopsy is planned on the exhumed body of the ex-wife of a suburban Chicago police officer whose current wife disappeared two weeks ago.

Bolingbrook Police Sergeant Drew Peterson is a suspect in the disappearance of his current wife, Stacy. Now, investigators are taking another look to see if his ex-wife's death was suspicious.

Kathleen Savio's remains arrived at the Will County Coroner's Office Monday morning for forensic testing. Investigators hope the second autopsy will reveal new information as to how she died.

At the request of Savio's family, Will County officials held a brief service before her body was removed from the grave. The Joliet Police Department chaplain led the small group in prayer. Will County State's Attorney Jim Glasgow was there along with representatives from Illinois State Police and the coroner's office.

Around 6 a.m., police arrived at the entrance of the Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Hillside. The exhumation started around 6:30 a.m. and only lasted about an hour. The remains were taken away out the back entrance in a blue county van.

Kathleen Savio, the third wife of Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson, was found dead in her bathtub in 2004. Her death was originally ruled accidental -- but last week, the Will County coroner said it should have been classified as undetermined.
Savio was in the midst of a divorce with Drew Peterson when she died. Her friends and family say she feared for her life. In a letter she wrote to the state's attorney two years before her death -- Savio wrote that Peterson would kill her.

"There are strong indications that it was a homicide, and again, that's why we're doing the exhumation because there are tests that need to be done that weren't done during the first autopsy," said James Glasgow, Will County State's Attorney.


Sgt. Peterson, who was relived of his duties with the Bolingbrook Police Department last week, has been named suspect in his wife's disappearance. Stacy's disappearance is now being called a 'potential homicide' by police.
Relatives of Stacy Peterson hope the Savio case strengthens their efforts to find her.

"I'm happy for that family that maybe they will have closure, what they thought happened all along. The truth might finally come out. And it will, you know, possibly help our case as well" said Carrie Simmons, Stacy Peterson's relative.


Peterson maintains his innocence in both the Savio and Stacy Peterson case.
Results of Savio's autopsy may take days to be returned, and Will County officials say they won't be public.

Interresting post on Greta's blog:

Comment by Margaret from Bolingbrook
November 13th, 2007 at 7:47 pm
Greta- When I was in high school we lived next door to the Petersons on Seminole Ln in Bolingbrook. At the time, Drew was a K-9 officer. Our dog, a shepherd and his dog used to run side by side along our back fences. This used to piss Drew off so bad, because it wore away the grass that he would beat his dog. It was not uncommon for my mother to be yelling at him from the back window to stop beating his dog. On one occasion his wife appeared in the front of the house crying and with a black eye. She had two teenage sons and they both were very quiet and kept to themselves. My father (also a cop) gave Drew permission to “watch” me and if he saw me on the streets or with my friends to send me home, which he did on only one occasion. He was then as you see him now on TV, Sunglasses, No smiling or reactions. Just stone cold. Subsequently, I went on to do my inernship with the Bolingbrook Police Dept. and became a Police Officer in Chicago. People knew this man was an abuser, but there is a Code when you are a cop to never tell on another cop. Police protect eachother. No one in my neighborhood, my parents included called the Police on Drew when he beat his wife or dog. Back then, you just kept quiet. Im sure that is why his wife’s death was called “accidental”…..

I thought that under the US Justice System ... a suspect in a murder investigation is arrested ... not allowed to walk around free without bail.  Also ... it does not make sense that Peterson would be handed a summons to appear ... after all he is a suspect ... just arrest him.

He is obviously a dangerous unstable person who has a collection of firearms and ... his children have not been apprehended.

What are the respective government agencies waiting for?

I feel like I am in the twilight zone.

He will not be in the NY studio in the AM and that's why I said it might be taped, OR, Matt is onsight.  Matt Lauer would have had no idea that DP would be in court tomorrow...The Today Show is early AM, so it will air before DP goes to court....jmo

Update from Greta's blog:

UPDATE at 10:53 from our Fox Files:

Illinois State Police tell Fox News they have subpoenaed Paul Peterson, the brother of Drew Peterson to compel him to appear tomorrow before the Will County Grand Jury

.Additionally, Steve Carceano, who found the body of Kathleen Savio nearly four years ago, tells Fox News that he has been summoned to testify tomorrow before the grand jury.

The grand jury usually convenes in Will County on Wednesday’s. Drew Peterson appeared last week before the grand jury, but sources say he refused to answer the majority of questions, instead pleading the 5th.

 Summary of Matt Lauer interview with DP on the Today Show:


New developments re KS:
SA exhumed KS, autopsy has been performed, evidence is consistent with "staging an accident to conceal a homocide"
Review of Stacy's disappearance, search continues
It will be several days before 2nd autopsy results are known
(per ML, DP flew to NY last night to appear on the show today)ML Watching the exhumation, I wonder what you're thinking
DP It's a shame her rest in peace had to be disturbed. I understand why they have to do it. If they think they can find something to explain why she died, they should.
ML There has been a lot of media attention on you and they are right outside your door. How are you handling that?
DP It's been harder on the older kids. The younger ones pretty well accept what has happened. I told them Mom went on an extended vacation.
ML How do you feel to know that LE consider you a suspect?
DP I think they've always considered me a suspect from day one.
ML SP asked you for a divorce two days before she disappeared. (ML read the email sent to friend by Stacy saying she was unhappy and DP was controlling and manipulative, etc.)
DP I dont' think those were her words, that's not her vocabulary. I think this is a made up email.
ML (Showed Kerrie Simons saying SP told her "if something happens to me, you need to look for me" because she was concerned something would happen to her.) What do you think about that.
DP I don't know.
ML How did you view your relationship with your missing wife?
DP In the beginning it was very romantic. But after her sister died of cancer, she lost her faith, she was on medication and seeing a psychiatrist, and she was on an emotional rollercoaster.
ML Did it ever get violent?
DP I don't believe it was ever violent.
LM Either it was or it wasn't.
DP There were a few incidents when we were fighting and I was in her face--she hated being cornered. One time she hit me in the head with a frozen steak. Once I tried throwing her in a pool at a party and she came up swinging even though it was all in jest.
ML You've told people she said she is left to be with another man.
DP She never told me she was seeing another man, or maybe she did. But I believe she is with someone else.
ML Either she did tell you that or she didn't.
DP She found another man, those were her words. She was a great mom.
ML How does a great mom leave her kids?
DP I don't' know.
ML Police say you're not cooperating.
DP I am. I've given them a full account of what happened.
ML Why haven't you taken part in search for your missing wife?
DP I'm such a media sensation right now, I believe I would hamper the search. She is gone, she's where she wants to be.
ML KS drowned in her bathtub, it looks now like it was staged to look like an accident.
DP I was one of the first people there that day. I met with KS's best friend and I was planning the next day to go into her home because I hadn't heard from her in a few days and that was unusual. Her neighbor and best friend wanted to go in that night, so we went over there and went in the house. I didn't go in the house, I stayed outside because she always accused me of things, like coming in her house and stealing things. After she was found and her friend was screaming I went in and felt her pulse, but didn't want to touch anything else.
ML I understand you received a one million dollar insurance policy after KS died?
DP That money was put into a protected account for the kids.
ML What was your relationship with KS like?
DP KS came from an abusive family. At first it was very romantic. After the kids she became very emotional. We had a very competitive relationship of "one up-man-ship"--who was smarter, who was stronger. At first she was very beautiful, exciting, a lot of fun, got along with my kids from my previous relationship. We'd go out to dinner, to shows . . .
ML Can you look me in the eye and tell me you didn't have anything to do with the death of your third wife or your missing wife?
DP I can look you in the eye and tell you that I had nothing to do with either of those incidents. I am not afraid of LE, I'm more afraid of the media.
ML You're a police officer, you know how this goes and how they build a case. Within the next day or so, you could actually be charged with something serious.
DP I expect I will.

Summary of second segment (didn't transcribe, was busy editing the above info)

DP expressed concern about the constant media attention and strongly stated he wants them to back off. When asked if he is afraid of being arrested, he responded, "I'm afraid because when I spoke with my attorneys on Monday they told me it would cost at least $250,000 to defend myself in just one of these cases. I'm here asking if any attorneys out there would be willing to take my case and help me out." DP said both KS and SP came from dysfunctional families. ML asked him how he ended up with such similar women and DP said he didn't know. DP said he talked to Geraldo the other day, invited him into his home, and while they were sitting at the kitchen table talking, Geraldo was coaching him on what he should say in his statement that Geraldo came out of the house and read. ML commented on how calm DP was in the face of what was happening in his life. DP said he was just really upset with the media and how they have portrayed him. When asked what he would say to SP if she's out there, DP laughed and smirked and said, "Call home and tell us where you are." Then at the end of the interview he said he hopes this interview has helped his case and that the media will back off, but if they turn up the heat, then he has wasted his time coming here.

I saw only a 30 second clip of his interview and you are right he is a POS.  He wants the press to leave his family alone.  They aren't bothering his family they are bothering him and know what I say tough sh!t on him.  I guess it sucks when you don't have the power anymore to scare people away and everyone of your friends are distancing themselves from you.  That says a lot.

I was somewhat shocked that Matt Lauer actually sat with him earlier.  I watched the segment this hour.   Glad Matt asked about his calm demeanor, because I was seeing the same, and that's when DP moaned about the press, which he also claims is one reason he hasn't helped search (the other reason is that he feels she's where she wants to be....gone).  DP said he thought the email was a fake.  The vocabulary & statements were not anything Stacy would use or say.  :roll: Star Jones & Al Roker discussed afterward, and Star basically said wth is he doing?  He's got 2 possible cases he can be charged with and he's on TV.  What a dumbass, POS.

I'm not convinced that DP is involved in the death of Ms. Savio. It really could be just an accident.

Her injuries do look suspicious, but according to the autopsy report, they 'could' be in line with a fall in the tub. Then there is the issue of the locksmith. DP needed a key to get in the house and didn't apparently have one. That's why he called the locksmith. Seems odd to me anyway.

Then (If I have this right) he was returning the kids from a visit. When did he kill Ms. Savio and stage the crime scene if the kids were with him? Again - seems odd to me.

I'm not on anyone's side here - just pointing out a few areas that don't seem to make any sense.

Wed Morning Note: Sgt. Drew Peterson Was Up Early This Wednesday Morning!
by Greta Van Susteren
Good Morning!

If you got up early today, you might have seen Sgt. Drew Peterson on the Today Show. He was in NYC to make the appearance on the early television show. I missed it — but will see it when I get in to work today. While I know he is not a fan of ON THE RECORD — it was our producer Steph Watts who delivered wife #3’s autopsy report and other documents to the police which started the boll rolling on investigating wife #3’s death (they did not have the documents) — I am a bit surprised. When he did not want to do our show from Illinois, we offered to fly him to NYC or DC to do ON THE RECORD but he was adamant that he did not want to because, as he told us, he wanted to be home when Stacy returns home. Of course that statement was made more than a week ago and lots has happened since then — and he may have just given up hope that she will return home. And of course he has no obligation to do our show and while I promise to be fair to him and let him talk — I understand. As an aside, I remain suspicious of him…but things are not always like they might appear. Don’t forget - runaway bride! (By the way…Sgt. Peterson will enjoy this - everyone in the media thought he was home in Illinois last night…apparently his brother was at his house and everyone was fooled thinking the man going in and out was Sgt. Peterson….I don’t know if it was a deliberate attempt to fool the media or not — if it was deliberate, yes he out foxed all last night! Since we are so closely following him and the story, I don’t blame him if he wants to slip us. I would want to do the same. )

The lock smith story was part of his alibi to show he did not have access to her house.  He was returning the kids but the other night Dr. Baden said the way the blood flowed to the front of her body showed she could have been already dead about 6 hours.  As far as the kids we don't know if they were in school or not and he picked them up after school for his visitation.  He could have also had a family member watch his kids while he committed the murder (visit to grandma's or his brother).  She had many fresh bruise on her body that was not consistent with a fall in the tub.

I think DP has a completely distorted view of the whole situation.  You don't have 4, not 1 or 2, but 4 wives terrified of you, not for a period of time, the WhOLE time.  Like a 20 year span.  Notice he is not afraid of the cops, just the media, duh ... the cops have worked well for him in the past.  

So basically all of his relationships stared out romantic and then each of his wives got emotional and went nuts?  What are the odds of that happening over & over?  He may have convinced himself, but he is the only one, imo.

Rob,
I did read somewhere that he had programmed his car opener to let himself in & out of KS's house.  I think the locksimith thing was just for his alibi as well.  I also don't think they will ever prove anything against him, probably because the only one that knows the truth or could testify is now missing .. just my thoughts ...

Little kids sleep sometimes, Rob.  Take nap in afternoon, etc.

However, why wouldn't he just leave a note for their mother to call him when she got home and think she was just away and late getting home?  What made him think he needed a locksmith and all the drama and witnesses?

I agree with ya'll - he is a POS!  I get a baaad feeling from him...I just hope that the LE is being meticulous with all this, and I bet they are to avoid bad press. Dotting all the I's and crossing all T's.

He has a history of abuse..notice he says that these women came from abusive homes and he implied they had "mental problems"  Pfffttt. 

I hope we are able to get some info from the Grand Jury Inquest.

Is he a killer? Ex-cop on missing wife, death of third
Ex-cop says wife No. 4 likely took off with a man, denies killing wife No. 3


By Mike Celizic
TODAYShow.com contributor
updated 5:55 a.m. PT, Wed., Nov. 14, 2007

As police re-examine the suspicious death of his third wife, retired Illinois police sergeant Drew Peterson tells TODAY his missing fourth wife told him she met someone and probably ran away with him.

Peterson, 53, appeared calm and determined Wednesday as he discussed reports that he is a suspect in the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, whose body was exhumed Tuesday. He told host Matt Lauer that he is not concerned about the police investigation into both cases, but is angry that the media is camped out in front of his house and has all but convicted him.

“I can look you right in the eye and tell you I had nothing to do with either of those instances,” he said, adding, “I’m not afraid of law enforcement. I’m afraid of the media.”

Peterson was still married to Kathleen Savio when he began dating Stacy, when she was 17 and much younger than him. After Savio told him she wanted a divorce and complained to relatives of alleged abuse, she was found dead in a bathtub of the couple’s Bolingbrook, Ill., home. Her death, now being re-examined, was listed as accidental drowning, even though the tub was bone-dry.

Peterson married Stacy, and the couple have two young children. Peterson said his missing wife, now 23, told him she had met another man before she disappeared on Sunday, Oct. 28. She was supposed to help family members paint a home, but never showed up.

Peterson told Lauer he understands why Illinois State Police have reopened the investigation into the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, because police often suspect spouses in untimely deaths.

“It’s a shame that her rest-in-peace has to be disturbed for something like this,” Peterson said.

Impeccably groomed and completely calm, Peterson said that he has not told his two young children by Stacy Peterson, Anthony, 4, and Lacy, 2, that their mother is missing and may be dead. When news reports about her come on the television, he said, “We usher them to another room.” Asked what he has told them, he replied, “Basically, ‘Mom’s gone on vacation.’ ”

He said the scrutiny he’s been under has been much harder on his two teenage sons by Savio.

Lauer asked Peterson whether Stacy told him she was seeing another man before she disappeared.

“She never told me she was seeing another man,” he said, but then changed that to: “Maybe she did. ‘She found somebody else,’ ” he added. “Those were her exact words.”

He said that his relationships with both Stacy Peterson and Savio were roller-coaster rides and characterized both women as emotionally unstable.

Stacy Peterson, he said, was on drugs for mood swings and had been unpredictable since the death of her sister by cancer. Other than playfully trying to throw her in the swimming pool at a gathering, he said he never hit her or abused her, contrary to claims by her family and friends.

“One time she hit me in the head with a frozen steak. I never hit her, never raised a hand to her,” he told Lauer.

When confronted with an e-mail to a family member in which she said she was in an abusive relationship, Peterson said, “I don’t think those are her words. I think that’s a made-up e-mail.”

As a policeman, he understands why he is being investigated.

“I think they’ve always considered me a suspect,” he said. “The husband always is.”

Peterson’s statements contradicted almost everything Stacy Peterson’s family told TODAY one week ago. On Nov. 7, her half sister said that the 23-year-old housewife and mother wanted out of her marriage and said she would not have left her suburban Chicago home without her kids.

“I don’t believe she would ever leave her children,” Kerry Simmons told TODAY co-host Meredith Vieira. “She loved those kids to death.”

Stacy Peterson’s family say she took up with Peterson when she was just 17. She got pregnant by him when she was 19, which is when Kathleen Savio found out about the affair and left Peterson. Shortly thereafter, she was found dead in her bathtub. Originally ruled an accidental drowning, police now think the death may have been a homicide that had been staged to look accidental. Her body has been exhumed by police for a second autopsy.

Stacy Peterson disappeared just days after asking her husband for a divorce. Police initially treated it as a missing person’s case, not searching the couple’s home until last Thursday. Her family and friends, though, are convinced that the young woman is dead and that her husband is responsible.

“She told many [people] that if anything happened to her, it was not an accident,” one relative told NBC News.

Peterson: Based on media, I'm as guilty as they come
STACY PETERSON CASE | Body of Drew Peterson's 3rd wife exhumed

November 14, 2007
BY MARK BIEGANSKI Staff Reporter

In an exclusive interview today with NBC's Matt Lauer, Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson said he believes his missing wife, Stacy, isn't dead, but has run off with another man.

"If you were me, or if you were the average citizen on the street who's read about this case or seen it on TV, would you think you're guilty?" Lauer asked.

"Based on the media coverage, I'm as guilty as they come," Drew Peterson said.
"And yet you still maintain there is no guilt," Lauer added. "You have no connection to any of these situations?"

"I think my silence has painted me guilty in the media," Drew Peterson said.

He asked reporters to, "leave my family alone."

Drew Peterson said Stacy would ask for a divorce after her sister died on a regular basis "based on her menstrual cycle."

Lauer asked Drew Peterson about an e-mail Stacy wrote to a friend a week before her disappearance, in which she said, "I am finding that the relationship I am in is controlling, manipulative and somewhat abusive ... if you could keep me in your prayers I could use some wisdom, protection and strength."

"I don't think that's her words," Drew Peterson said. "That doesn't sound like a thing that she would say. That vocabulary is certainly out of line for her. So I think this was fabricated as a lot of things have been throughout this case. This is a madeup e-mail"

Drew Peterson described his relationship with Stacy as romantic in the beginning, but that after her sister passed away, she took a "downside" with her emotions, causing her to see a psychiatrist and go on medication.

Drew Peterson denied that his relationship with Stacy was ever violent, but acknowledged several instances when the two would have verbal "in your face" confrontations.

"She hated being cornered," Drew Peterson said. "One time she hit me in the head with a frozen steak."

Peterson acknowledged that there were mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of his ex-wife, Kathleen Savio, but said he didn't know what, if anything, the exhumation of her body would accomplish.

''It's a shame her rest in peace has to be disturbed for something like this,'' he said.

Drew Peterson described his relationship with both women as troubled, saying both came from troubled homes and struggled with depression.

But he denied involvement in either case.


Drew Peterson told Lauer he was one of the first people to discover the body of Savio in her bathub. He said at the time he was the watch commander of their town when it happened and that he met with Savio's best friend because he hadn't seen Savio for several days.

Drew Peterson said the two called a locksmith to go into the house, but that he remained outside when the locksmith arrived. Lauer asked Drew Peterson why he didn't enter the house, to which he said that Savio was always accusing him of things and that she didn't want him in the house because she thought he would steal something.

"When I heard screaming, I went inside and she was dead in the bathtub," Drew Peterson said. "I felt a pulse -- I don't know if she was dead or alive. So I felt her pulse, and being a policeman, I didn't want to touch anything."


"You've said on occassion that Stacy came to you and said she was seeing someone else -- that there was another man," Lauer asked. "Is it fair to say that you believe that Stacy right now is with that other man?"

"She never told me she was seeing another man ... well, maybe she did," Drew Peterson told Lauer. "But I believe she's with someone else right now."

Drew Peterson told Lauer he believes police have always suspected him for Stacy's disappearance.

"They've always considered me a suspect. The husband always did it. It's just a title to progress their case," Drew Peterson said.


"Do you have anything you can present to me that might prove your innocence?" Lauer asked Drew Peterson.

"No," he responded.

Peterson pleaded with America's laywers to take on his case and to help him prove his innocence.

When asked what he has told the couple's children about Stacy's disappearance, Peterson said, "Mom's gone on a vacation."


Lauer asked Drew Peterson if he’s ever participated in the search for Stacy, which he indirectly responded with no.

 
“I’m such a media sensation right now,” Drew Peterson said. “If I go out and search, the search will be hampered. Why would I look for somebody I don’t believe is missing. She’s just gone. She’s where she wants to be.”


Savio's relatives hope an autopsy conducted Tuesday after her body was exhumed from a suburban cemetery will confirm their suspicions that her mysterious 2004 death was a murder, not an accident.

"I'm hoping we get all the answers we need," her niece, Melissa Doman, said hours after Savio's casket was removed from its grave at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Hillside.

They're still upset, though, that it took more than three years -- and the disappearance of another woman, 23-year-old Stacy -- to prompt Will County authorities to review Savio's death.

The 40-year-old Savio had recently divorced Drew Peterson when she was found dead in a bathtub in her home on March 1, 2004. Her death at the time was ruled an accidental drowning.

But when Stacy Peterson -- Drew Peterson's fourth wife -- vanished from their Bolingbrook home on Oct. 28, authorities decided to take another look at Savio's death.

"That's what bothers me, personally," said Doman, 28. "No one really looked at it before."

Last week, Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow announced authorities would exhume Savio's remains, saying there were "strong indications" that her death was deliberately "staged" to look like an accident. Glasgow wasn't in office when Savio died.

Her grave was opened early Tuesday with Glasgow, Will County Coroner Patrick O'Neil and Illinois State Police investigators on hand. In less than an hour, her casket was lifted out and taken to the Will County coroner's office, where a forensic pathologist conducted an autopsy later in the day.

Authorities won't have results for several days -- but said no information would be released publicly because of the pending investigations of her death and Stacy Peterson's disappearance.

'Very difficult time for them'
The 53-year-old Drew Peterson last week was formally named a suspect in Stacy's disappearance, though authorities haven't commented on whether he is a suspect in his third wife's death.

Peterson has denied playing any role in Stacy's disappearance. Reached Tuesday at his Bolingbrook home, Peterson declined to comment on the exhumation or Savio's death.

Later Tuesday, an Illinois State Police investigator delivered documents to Drew Peterson's home, though the officer wouldn't comment on what was delivered.

Peterson testified last week before a Will County grand jury. A spokesman for State's Attorney Glasgow said Peterson wasn't served with another subpoena, though he wouldn't comment further on the paperwork.

Savio's family members are anxious to learn whether the autopsy will show the mother of two was slain -- and if the examination might turn up evidence that could be used to prosecute her killer. In the months before she died, she had told authorities that she was afraid her former husband might harm her, Doman said.

"My aunt was trying to reach out, and no one listened," Doman said.

Before Savio's body was exhumed, a Roman Catholic priest offered prayers at the grave site. Savio's family had requested a priest be present during the exhumation, said the Rev. Chris Groh, a Joliet Police Department chaplain who was at the cemetery.

"It's a very difficult time for them," Groh said of Savio's relatives. "Hopefully, they'll have some answers to the questions that have been in their minds for a while. Maybe that will help them move forward."

What in hell did any of his former wives see in him?!

Personally I think he is one of those manipulative charmers. He used his position as a policeman to give the impression of a protector. 

The remarks he made about the email sent by Stacy to her friend being made up as those words aren't in her vocabulary.  What the heck?!! He is doing his best to project her as being a dimwitted mental case! 
 :smt013

Furthermore!  I believe that I heard or read that he started dating Stacy when she was 17!  She was 17 and he was in his late 40's?  Come on - wasn't he playing with jail bait right there?  What are the laws in that state?  I am sure he promised to protect her and she fell right into his trap. Oh, I hope that Stacy is found, and soon.

JUST IN!!!! Update in Sgt Peterson Story
by Greta Van Susteren

Spoke to OTR Producer Steph Watts a few seconds ago….he got his hands on information about Sgt. Peterson’s resignation. Sgt. Peterson handed it in, the Chief of Police denied the request to resign because there are internal charges pending. The Chief of Police then sent a letter to the Mayor Claar and members of the Board of Fire and Police Commission - they overruled the Chief. As a result Sgt Peterson has officially resigned (his resignation accepted), he will get his full pension and the internal charges will not be further investigated (and we don’t know now - but we may be 10pm eastern for ON THE RECORD - what those internal charges are..whether they are significant charges or insignificant charges.)

We have just learned that the Chief wrote the Mayor and Commission saying he did not want to accept Sgt Peterson’s resignation because of the internal charges - charges that would result in his termination (thus denying him his pension.). The Chief wrote that he thought the public entitled to an open hearing on this. Note that we do not know the internal charges - but it is a red flag that the Chief thought the charges would result in termination. That suggests to me that the internal charges are significant ones - but I can’t be certain without knowing the charges. We will have much more at ten pm on ON THE RECORD.

As a result Sgt Peterson has officially resigned (his resignation accepted), he will get his full pension and the internal charges will not be further investigated (and we don’t know now - but we may be 10pm eastern for ON THE RECORD - what those internal charges are..whether they are significant charges or insignificant charges.)

More on Sgt Peterson Resignation
by Greta Van Susteren
We have just learned that the Chief wrote the Mayor and Commission saying he did not want to accept Sgt Peterson’s resignation because of the internal charges - charges that would result in his termination (thus denying him his pension.). The Chief wrote that he thought the public entitled to an open hearing on this. Note that we do not know the internal charges - but it is a red flag that the Chief thought the charges would result in termination. That suggests to me that the internal charges are significant ones - but I can’t be certain without knowing the charges. We will have much more at ten pm on ON THE RECORD.

What the heck is going on with these people.  Why would they want to give this guy his pension when he clearly abused his power and doesn't deserve one cent.

Show the world how they support their murdering police force.  This guy was like an internal hit man for the police force.  I wonder how many special favors he did for people in power.

I heard the WBBM report too.
Not only is TES thinking of not coming back BUT…the guy with the sonar boat said that the ISP is no longer sharing info that might aid in the search.

Don’t think the burned bodies have anything to do with this. IMO.

As far as I know... any Pension fund that your are vested in ... you are entitled to UNLESS certain criminal activities can be proven occured on the job & maybe even realated to the your job.   :smt102
Internal investigation...to me sounds more procedural than criminal type actions.

Another Update on Sgt. Peterson’s Resignation - and A Disappointed Police Chief
by Greta Van Susteren

(http://gretawire.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/chief.jpg)
(Above pic is the Chief of Police in Bolingbrook, Illinois)

All day long I have been blogging about the acceptance of Sgt. Peterson’s resignation from the police department — the acceptance of the resignation opposed by the Chief of Police. The Chief wants to conduct a full investigation of Sgt. Peterson and can’t do it if Peterson is allowed to resign and is no longer on the police force.

I now have a copy of the letter that Chief Raymond J. McGury sent the Members of the Board of Fire and Police Commission — who overruled the Chief thus making way for the resignation of Sgt. Peterson.

Here is a quote from the Chief’s letter -

“[a]s the Chief of the Department, I deserve the opportunity to do the right thing. For these reasons, I will not accept Sgt. Peterson’s resignation. You may choose to do so. I will await your decision.”

And, as noted above, he was overruled and Sgt. Peterson resigned and there will be no internal investigation of Sgt. Peterson.

A copy of the letter was sent to Mayor Roger Claar, Village Attorney James Boan, and BPD Command Staff.

This may sound stupid, but this morning when DP was on the Today show, talking about his disdain for the media attention, I had a thought that he really liked it and might have aspirations to be on a news panel some day, like Bernie Kerik ended up doing. (tarnished NY commishoner who just plead not guilty to tax fraud) 

Denying the Chief's request, is questionable, but could have been a business like decision based on 'damned if we do and damned if we don't'.  Internal investigations are performed by a special unit, if I'm not mistaken.  Lord knows what could turn up in the process.

I have no idea why an internal investigation can NOT occur even if he resigned. They would be basically looking at the conduct of one of their former officers and any that may be in cahoots with him. That's not that complicated.

As for the resignation itself. Well, that one is easy. He's simply protecting his pension in the event he is convicted of any of the multitude of crimes / charges that could be coming his way. Let's face it - he's a suspect in one case, and a possible suspect in another. Things are not looking too good for Drew right now. Regardless, he / SP / First Wife have children and that pension (even if he is charged, convicted, and sent to the slammer) is going to pay for their upkeep. They will need clothes, education, medical, and emotional support. That's all going to cost a pretty penny.

DP is always one step ahead - now isn't he? He appears to have a good attorney to offer the advice about resigning and keeping that pension.

Couldn't have that, could he?

hmm... why would she need a million? future income?

If her children were named the primary beneficiaries there was no way he could get it.. unless he was named the guardian of the children. There could be some malfeasance here, but this is hard to prove if he is the guardian.

If her children were the contingent beneficiaries then the money would have been left to her husband - Drew. He could do whatever he wanted to do legally. Had Drew died before the children, then the children would have moved into the primary slot.

Insurance is often used for fraud. It's hard to prove in a case like this.

There are several previous posts on the insurance and the attorney representing her estate protesting and then even yet another will leaving everything to DP written on an envelop and witnessed by a couple of his friends.

Very convoluted but it was I think three smaller policies, not one big one.  Posts about it are in this thread somewhere.

Adoption v Guardian.

She could adopt them. And did. Even a 70 year old man could adopt a 40 year old man that have no relation. It's not against the law. And it's happened.

In the event of a divorce, and she was proven to be the more competent and financially stable, she could get the kids. Even if she was not more financially stable a judge could rule that DP is liable for all future support til age 18 of all the kids.

However, not too many justices are going to go against a cop with no record (that we know of)....taking into account that had SP not disappeared and simple divorced DP.. there prolly would have never been an investigation into the death of Ms. Savio.

Does DP have a motive involving divorce v disappearance? probably yes. Could be either financial or emotional.

I would have to guess that the letter Kathleen Savio wrote to the DA saying DP was going to kill her combined with Stacey saying she feared the same thing or maybe Stacey had learned something incriminating to DP over the years might have given her custody.


Speaking of those little kids, why does he STILL have them????  That is maddening!

If he is acting crazy as his friend said, they should have already been removed.

What ever happened to calling her sister or trying her on the phone.  I'll tell you what happened because he already killed her.  This guy had a lot of time to cover his tracks.

When they interviewed the daughter of wife #2 DP made a comment to his then wife "he is protecting his assets".  He had her phone tapped.  Right now he is not getting paid I think because he is suspended without pay.

sweet move Anna!!! :lol:

You're right.. the owner names the beneficiaries. The Beneficiary only needs to have an insurable interest in the owner.

If the owner and beneficiary have no insurable interest, that could be relegated as fraud.

That opens the time-line up on DP. Now he needs to account for more than one afternoon. I would say that would give him ample opportunity and time.

Anna - on the date of his resignation he was not convicted of anything. I don't like it either, but thats the way it is. He'll keep the pension. A good part of that is his actual money that he contributed. It's the law. It was just change because of a lot of teachers molesting their students and keeping their pensions. This has been pretty much changed nationally and is a states issue. Most states acted after the rash of teachers keeping the pensions after being convicted. Public employees forfeit the pension when a conviction occurs.

In some strange way, I find some things that seem to run parallel in these two cases.

She ran away.  I didn't search for her because she isn't missing.  What if she was abducted?  What if the person she is alleged to have run away with has harmed her?  Is holding her hostage?  Wouldn't you want to know?  Who is this mystery man?  Anyone name names yet?

I wish she would come forward and clear this up, let us know she's safe.  If they found her I'd kick her ass in front of her mother.

So much in common between these two, despite the differenc in age and location.

Rob,
I was thinking more about some crime he may have committed than the pension.  Doesn't seem right if he was being investigated for criminal activity or possible criminal activity.

They shouldn't be able to just drop the investigation like that just because somebody resigns if they have broken any laws or are thought to have done so.

I agree with you.  I will say, not all cops are this way.  My husband is a Lieutenant for the police department in the town we live in.  He has been a cop for almost 25 years.  I have seen LE around here take down bad cops.  My husband is the one that original people that told me about this case and he hates it that a few dirty cops make good cops look bad.  My suspicion from listening to the chief of police....Peterson was being investigated and the chief got overruled.  I am willing to bet there could still be charges from outside the department that would carry criminal charges.  IMO - getting the pension is not all bad.  His kids still have to be taken care of and when "Peterson" ends up in prison, who ever ends up taking care of the kids will be able to collect from that pension plan.  These kids are paying a huge price....a price no child should have to pay.

I agree that the pension will benefit his kids.  What bothers me is that he didn't make this move for his kids.  If he was that concerned he would have never murdered his wives.  He is using his kids as a shield.

I watched the beginning of Drew's interview on TV someone posted on photobucket.  I'm wondering why they don't "play along" with his stories and
USE THIS LINE OF QUESTIONING (which maybe they weren't allowed to ask?):

Q:  Drew - you said you felt that you & Stacy had a good marriage and maybe she felt differently, now that she is missing (or he said something like that).  Did you see any signs prior to her disappearance that she was seeing another man, as you say she is with someone else now?

Q:  Did your teenage sons say there was anything unusual the day/week before she disappeared?  Was she talking to anyone?  Did the boys see anyone?
What do the phone records show?  Do they show she was on the phone to someone else a lot?  Any money missing out of bank accounts?  Other things missing?  Suitcases packed?  First indication of anything being off?

Q:  Drew what were you doing the day of her disappearance - the whole day?

Q:  Drew, you said you had a good marriage, so was everything just fine until one day you got a call and she said "I found someone."  You say those are her 'exact words' and then she disappeared.  And based on that, you are calm and confident that she is "where she wants to be."   You believe this is completely easy to comprehend and accept that out-of-the-blue she did this, as a "good mother" and all?(!!!?)

Q:  Drew - when you say you waited outside when the neighbor went in to check on KS, because KS accused you of stealing - why do you think she would accuse you of that?

Q:  Drew - when you say Stacy didn't like being cornered/backed in a corner [I can't remember the words], did you corner her a lot? 

----------------
Also, things that don't jive:

Drew shows no sorrow or grief and upset that his wife went suddenly missing, who he said he had a good marriage with and she is a good mother.
Why isn't he saying how shocked or hurt he is? playing that his story is true.

If she did "run off" with another man, someone would have spotted them with all the media coverage.  Why isn't he addressing that, but is acting like it is the most normal thing to have one's family member disappear off the face of the earth.
Maybe disappear, but not with media coverage like this!

His comments about his young kids are especially strange.  In the summer I work at child development centers with very young children.  I can tell you that all day long they cry for their Mom (or Dad).
For him to say the younger kids can be played with and can accept their circumstances - I am getting this remark because he lived through the other kids losing their Mom and he just keeps going on like no one is missing! - life as usual!
I believe if she went missing and wasn't murdered by him, he would have said when asked how the small children are - oh they are very sad and keep asking for their Mom!   It is very hard on them.  Duh!  Of course they are sad!
It says Stacy's family (sisters) are having a hard time - what about her small children?

How about these lines:
"She's just gone."  Huh? :shock:
"She's where she wants to be."  Yeah, right! :roll:
What strange lines.
Any "good mom" of small children wants to be with her children, no matter how sexy or great this other guy is.  Can't buy his story! :2doh:

Sorry, but if your spouse disappeared, even if you were a police officer, how could you not show that you were hurt and upset!!!!  He showed nothing!

He appears unhuman to me.  I thought his eyes closed a lot like he was lying - he was looking down.  I also thought his mouth hung open when they asked about Kathleen Savio.

Welcome Aly!

I don't have time to read your entire post right now.  GRETA is covering the case tonight and Dr. Baden has some new info.  Starts in one minute.

Mark Furhman thinks the Chief is on to something regarding DP pension.  He said he wants to invesitate him.  If they allow him to resign there won't be an investigation by Internal Affairs.

A few comments ~

Given past history, has there been any discussion about DP having a girlfriend?  Might this person know something?

Are the mothers of any children born to other than the four wives disappeared or deceased?

Where did DP live prior to establishing himself in Bolingbrook?

Dr. Baden has agreed to do an independent autopsy.  They have to sort out the other legal issues.

I'm going to miss the legal panel.  Let me know what they think about Drew talking.

Ted Williams said if she was with another man he would have known who this other man was.  Her cell phone records would tell all.

Michael Cardoza doesn't think going on the air was a very smart thing to do.

Bernie Grimm thinks he did well.

Greta said she thought Matt's questions were riveting.  She couldn't keep her eyes off him.  Bernie of course made fun of Matt.

I am very bothered by this guy who found DP's wife in the tub.  Something isn't right.  Why the hell is DP calling him after his interview and asking him how did he think he did.  I get a strange feeling this guy is hiding something.

Ted I think it was also said that she would not be depressed if she ran off with another man and DP said she was depresssed.  She would be happy.  I tend to agree with this.

WG,
DP has always seemed to have another one lined up so I do wonder if he has a new girlfriend himself.  He married Stacey seven days after the previous divorce was final and they already had a child.

He is saying he came home from work and Drew stopped him in the street while he was in his police car.  What I am wondering is if this guy actually helped Drew get in her home.  If I am correct this guy is a locksmith.  He is painting Drew as a saint.  Drew's good friend Mims is keeping away from Drew because he is afraid of him.

Yes, and he tried to say KS hair was not soaked with blood when the autopsy said it was.  She had black hair so how would one tell just by looking?

Also wouldn't blood smudges have come off a tub filled with water?  Know what I mean, just sort of soaked off or never stuck to the sides where water was?  Something odd about all of that.

You do know some family members claimed to have found her!  I believe it was Kathleens sister and nephew?  Why would this guy claim to have found her?  I don't believe they would make that up.  He sounds like he has another agenda.

From Nancy Grace transcripts..11/8/2007

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: How in the world did he get away with dating a 17-year-old girl? It is illegal in Illinois. If an 18-year-old boy is caught having sex with a 17-year-old girl, he is arrested and then has to register a sex offender. How did he get away with it?

LALAMA: That`s a good question. But Joe Hosey from "The Herald News," my understanding is he claims he went to the department, said, I have a 17-year-old girlfriend, and they said, No problem, right?

JOE HOSEY, "HERALD NEWS": I don`t think he necessarily went to the department. The department found out about it, and they went to the state`s attorney`s office, he says, and he was given an opinion that it was OK. The problem -- she was 17, he was 47. That`s legal unless he`s in a position of authority. The department was saying as a police officer, he`s in a position of authority, but apparently, the state`s attorney`s office felt otherwise.
      ------------------------------------------------------------------



Seems like the States Attorney's office didn't do their job on this one. They had reason to look at him on two separate occasions!

My thought also,SAN  DP calling this guy instead of a family member to open the door, was his back up plan.
DP knew his wife was dead( IMO) and he needed someone else to discover her dead body, not himself.
DP set this guy up.

This guy stated that he wasn't in contact that much with DP and that their kids went to school together.  He said he went over Drew's house a couple of times since wife #3 died.  Now all of a sudden they are best friends and he is speaking to Drew a few times a day.  My question is WHY?  Drew's best friend no longer believes him and others are keeping their distance.  Common sense would tell you that Drew is a murderer and this guy is putting his life and family at risk by talking to this murderer.  I would want him far away from my family.  JMO.

Bodies Found At Excavation Site
Posted: Thursday, 15 November 2007 9:08AM

LEMONT, Ill. (WBBM) -- The Cook County Sheriff's department has confirmed that two bodies have been found in the unincorporated Lemont area - near the DuPage County line.

WBBM's Steve MIlller reports.

Sheriff's office spokeswoman Penny Mateck says about 7:3o a.m., a construction crew found the bodies near Route 83 and Jeans Road.

Workers were on the scene - in the process of paving a 9-and-a-half mile bike path just west of Highway 83.

Those workers tell Newsradio 780 the two bodies were found on the bike path near some paving equipment.

More than one of those workers says the bodies may be that of a woman and a child, wrapped in blankets.

That is not confirmed yet by the sheriff's office.

Sheriff's department spokeswoman Penny Mateck says evidence technicians are on the scene.

At Least 1 Body Found In Suburban Excavation Site
Sheriff's Police, Medical Examiner On Scene
Reporting Kris Habermehl

LEMONT TOWNSHIP, Ill. (CBS) ¯ At least one and possibly two sets of human remains have been found at an excavation site in southwest suburban Cook County between Burr Ridge and Lemont.

The body or bodies were discovered at the site just off Route 83 and Archer Avenue, in the river basin between the Sanitary and Ship Canal and the Des Plaines River.

The remains were covered in sheets and blankets, and it was not learned if that happened before or after the people died. It appeared also that one set of remains was bound by either cords or rope.

There was no indication of the identification of the dead, or how the person or people died.

Cook County sheriff's police detectives and county Medical Examiner's office investigators were on the scene as of 8:30 a.m. They were examining tire tracks and other trace evidence near the scene and taking photographs.

The Medical Examiner's office would only confirm that one body had been found.

There was no immediate evidence that the bodies found were related to any current missing persons cases.

Is Drew in denial - or hiding something?
http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/...RSON_S1.article

November 15, 2007
By Jennifer Golz Staff writer
Drew Peterson appeared on NBC's "Today" show to clarify misconceptions about himself he believes the media has created.

But Naperville-based psychologist Laura Faynor-Ciha says the interview left her with more questions than answers. "He sounded disconnected from the situation in an overall sort of way, and what does that mean?" she said. "Is he separating himself from the pain and loss of family or from something he did wrong? "The interview didn't clarify that for me."

Peterson granted his first national on-camera interview to Matt Lauer on Wednesday in New York. He spoke about his marriages to his third and fourth wives: the deceased Kathleen Savio, and missing Stacy Peterson, whose disappearance is as mysterious as the death of her predecessor. Peterson, 53, has been named a suspect in the Illinois State Police's investigation into the possible homicide of the 23-year-old Bolingbrook mother of two, who was last seen Oct. 28, two days after she reportedly told her cop husband she wanted a divorce.

"Stacy would ask me for a divorce after her sister died on a regular basis...it was based on her menstrual cycle," Peterson said told Lauer. "He certainly seems to give women's hormones a lot of power," said Susan Ahmari, a psychiatrist with Linden Oaks Hospital at Edward. "But I'm not sure hormones are so erratic for women so frequently. "I think it's something people joke about," she said. "Even women joke about PMS affecting their moods if they're irritable, but for it really to affect women's behavior in a significant way is very uncommon." Assuming Peterson was correct in his testament to Stacy's mood swings, it would have been even more uncommon for him to have married two women affected by the hormones so much that it resulted in the demise of each marriage.

Peterson's third wife, Savio, 40, was found dead March 1, 2004, in a waterless bathtub of the Bolingbrook home she once shared with her then ex-husband. Although the death was ruled an accidental drowning at the time, the case has been re-opened by the Will County state's attorney and her body was exhumed earlier this week for further forensic testing. During the interview, Peterson described his relationship with both Savio and Stacy in similar manners. "In the beginning it was very romantic," he said of both wives, but later went on to call each relationship "an emotional roller coaster." "At first it was very romantic, until she had children," Peterson said of Savio. "Hormones kicked in and again it was an emotional roller coaster."

Faynor-Ciha said Peterson is not the first and won't be the last husband to complain about his wife's hormones. "But not every man who complains about his wife's hormones has a wife who goes missing or who is mysteriously found dead in the bathtub," she said. She said Peterson is distancing himself from his relationship with both women, so much that he's also distancing himself from the children he fathered with each. "It's when our children were born, not 'her children'" she said. "It sounds like the children and hormones have gotten in the way of him staying connected in those relationships." Peterson told Lauer he hasn't told the children he shares with Stacy that their mother is missing, instead saying she's "on vacation."

Both mental health professionals noted Peterson's detachment and lack of emotions during the interview. "I think the overall tone of his interview is generally way removed - removed from responsibility about what could have happened to her (Stacy)," Faynor-Ciha said. The denial could be a coping mechanism, or it could be something else. "We don't know if the source of denial is that he has done something wrong and he's covering it up, or is he not wanting to deal with the fact that he over-reacted and pushed things too far in the relationship," Faynor-Ciha said.

When confronted with the e-mail Stacy wrote to a friend that described her relationship with her husband as "abusive," Peterson denied they were written by his wife and insisted they were fabricated. Peterson seemed to fumble when asked by the morning news anchor about his claims of Stacy having run off with another man. "She never told me she was seeing another man," Peterson told Lauer, and then just as quickly changed his response to, "Well maybe she did. She 'found somebody else,' that was her exact words."

Even if Stacy was depressed, it's not enough cause for Ahmari to believe she would run off without another word to family and friends. "Just because you're depressed doesn't mean you would be completely irrational and impulsive," she said.

2 bodies found near Lemont
Tribune staff report

9:35 AM CST, November 15, 2007

 
 
Two bodies have been found near southwest suburban Lemont, and the Cook County medical examiner's office sent personnel to the scene.

The discovery was made early this morning near Jeans Road and Illinois Highway 83 near the Des Plaines River and the Chicago Sanitary & Ship Canal, according to police officials. The area is near the Cook-DuPage border.

Helicopter footage from the site showed the remains bound and wrapped in white sheets. A Lemont village official said the police chief was notified by officials that the body of a man and a woman were found at the site.

Cook County sheriff's officials were on scene this morning, but the department spokeswoman could not immediately provide information.

Stacy Peterson wasn't the type to date around. With the exception of her husband, whom she met when she was 17 and married when she was the 19-year-old mother of his fifth child, she only had one serious boyfriend as a Romeoville High School student. That boyfriend, Ralph Chira, talked about her Wednesday. He discussed his surprise when she started dating Drew Peterson, a man 30 years her senior, how Peterson proposed to Stacy two years before they married, and how Chira's experiences with Stacy don't jibe with Drew Peterson's statements on the "Today" show. Drew Peterson reiterated Wednesday his wife left him for another man. State Police are calling Drew Peterson a suspect in a possible homicide investigation.

A high school psychology teacher paired Chira with Stacy for a class assignment that involved her walking him around the school blindfolded. He bumped into a railing on a second-floor balcony. She grabbed his arm, nervous he would fall. "She was about to cry," said Chira, now 26 and the manager of a Meijer meat department. "She was so heartfelt with everything she does. She was just really concerned." The chance encounter spurred a three-year romance that included two proms, dinners out and the first serious romantic relationship for both.

Chira said while he knew he wouldn't go to college, Stacy started at Joliet Junior College right after graduating from high school. She was studying nursing there before disappearing Oct. 28. Though he said they were both falling in love for the first time, the pair never discussed starting a family. The only discussions involving children were how not to have them, he said. In 2001, Chira and Stacy broke up after he said he started spending more time with his friends. Weeks later, she told him she met Drew Peterson. "She told me he was older, a Bolingbrook police officer," Chira said. "She worked overnight [at a hotel], and I guess he would come in there and make her feel safe."

Soon thereafter, Chira said she told him Drew Peterson had asked her to marry him, though he was married to Kathleen Savio. Stacy told Chira she said yes. She never mentioned Savio, who divorced Peterson in 2003 and was found dead in a bathtub in 2004. Stacy and Drew Peterson married after his divorce in 2003 and the birth of their son.

Chira said he saw Stacy frequently shopping at Meijer. He said he saw no outward signs of the depression or moodiness Drew Peterson spoke of on "Today." Nor did he remember any unusual behavior associated with her menstrual cycle. Peterson claimed Wednesday she would ask him for a divorce when she got her period. "She seemed happy," Chira said of the last time he saw her, about six weeks ago. Unlike Drew Peterson, he has participated in searches for her

Body language experts: 'Something doesn't smell right'

http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/...-body15.article

November 15, 2007
BY SHAMUS TOOMEY Staff Reporter/stoomey@suntimes.com

NBC's Matt Lauer told Drew Peterson he seemed "extraordinarily calm and collected." Body language experts aren't so sure. After watching the interview, Lillian Glass said Peterson's hard swallowing, clenched jaw, rigid posture, shoulder movements and more left her unconvinced about what Peterson told Lauer.

Another expert, Kevin Hogan, said Peterson's rapid eye blinking could indicate nervousness -- or deception. Glass, also a communication psychologist, took issue with what Peterson said and how he said it, including focusing on himself more than his missing wife. "When you look at all of those, your gut reaction is, something doesn't smell right," Glass said. Sitting rigid in his chair suggested Peterson was trying to control himself, she said. Lifting his shoulders during answers suggested he wasn't telling the truth, she said. Hogan found it odd that Peterson laughed after asking his wife to "come home." "Is he guilty of the disappearance, I don't know," Hogan said. "Is he acting out of character for a normal person, very much so."

Witnesses go to Peterson grand jury
Officer on TV show as Will panel meets


http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/...hi_tab01_layout

As a Will County grand jury called in witnesses connected to Sgt. Drew Peterson on Wednesday, Bolingbrook police dealt with the likelihood they will not be able to hold him accountable for possible departmental violations because he quit.

Also on Wednesday, Peterson's appearance on a network TV morning show to discuss the disappearance of his wife, Stacy, and the mysterious death of his ex-wife fueled more turmoil in his Bolingbrook neighborhood.

Shortly after 1:30 p.m. in downtown Joliet, Steve Carcerano, 39—the neighbor who discovered the body of Peterson's ex-wife Kathleen Savio in her bathtub in 2004—walked into the Will County Court annex where the grand jury was convened. When he left hours later, Carcerano said he did not testify but expected to return next week. Also summoned to the grand jury was Bolingbrook Police Officer Alex Morelli, whom sources describe as a close friend of Drew Peterson. A person by that name signed as a witness to the 1997 will of Savio and Peterson. Morelli declined to comment on whether he testified. Later, he could not be reached for comment on whether it was he who signed the will.

Wife #3 and Wife #4 Had a PHYSICAL Confrontation….
by Greta Van Susteren

Well….divorces are rarely “pretty” …and emotions run very wild (understandably) especially when someone cheats in a marriage or a relationship….the Sgt Drew Peterson/Kathleen Savio/Stacy Peterson apparently was no different many of these terrible situations…

….Things got so bad among the 3 of them that there were hospital visits…..and at least one involved the women (read the bottom part of the article for details about allegations of a physical confrontation between Kathleen Savio (#3) and Stacy Peterson (#4)….and yes, never dull…

Cop Denies Involvement in Wife's Death
By DON BABWIN – 16 hours ago

ROMEOVILLE, Ill. (AP) — Nobody listened when Kathleen Savio said she was afraid of her husband. But now, three years after she was found dead in a bathtub in what was ruled an accidental drowning, authorities are paying close attention.

They suspect she was killed. But that theory did not dawn on them until her husband came under suspicion in the recent disappearance and possible murder of his new wife.

Drew Peterson, a former police office in suburban Bolingbrook, denies any role in his wife's disappearance, saying she told him she was leaving him for another man.

Stacy Peterson, 23, was reported missing Oct. 29, the day after failing to show up to help her sister paint a house. She was 17 when she began dating Peterson. He was 47 and still married to Savio.

Peterson believes his wife has left him for another man, and said he has no plans to look for her because he thinks she left willfully.

"Why would I look for somebody who I don't believe is missing? She's just gone. She's where she wants to be," Peterson told NBC's "Today" show.

Peterson's troubles began during his marriage to Savio, who died in 2004.

She left behind a trail of clues about the couple's stormy marriage, including an order of protection she filed in 2002 after Peterson allegedly knocked her down, ripped a necklace off her and left marks on her body. Savio wrote in the order that she feared Peterson could kill her.

"He wants me dead, and if he has to, he will burn the house down just to shut me up," she wrote.

A coroner's report includes testimony from Savio's sister, who said Savio warned relatives that if she died, it may look like an accident, but it would not be.

Authorities have not said Peterson, now 53, is a suspect in Savio's death. But they have reviewed autopsy photos, police reports, court documents and even exhumed her body as they point the finger at Peterson in Stacy Peterson's disappearance.

"I would say that right now Drew Peterson has gone from being a person of interest to clearly being a suspect," in his fourth wife's disappearance, Illinois State Police Capt. Carl Dobrich said last week.

Peterson downplayed any similarities between the two cases, but said his relationships with both women were troubled. Both suffered from emotional problems, he said. He denied having anything to do with the two cases.

"I can look right in your eye and say I had nothing to do with either of those incidents," he told NBC.

Authorities have been tightlipped about the specifics of their investigation, including what they hope to learn from examining Savio's body. Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow said some tests that should have been conducted on Savio's remains never were.

In the final days of her marriage, Savio traded battery allegations with her husband, who resigned from the police department this week.

Drew Peterson twice convinced the state's attorney's office to bring battery charges against his wife, but she was acquitted both times. Peterson never was charged, although Bolingbrook police have said officers investigated 18 domestic calls involving the couple.

Savio's family suspects police were trying to protect one of their own.

"She called it the 'good old boys club,'" said Charlie Doman, Savio's nephew. "Cops taking care of cops is what it was."

Among the documents Savio's family has kept for years is a copy of a letter they say she sent to an assistant state's attorney in Will County, claiming Peterson had beaten her several times, but police declined to file reports.

They also have a report from a suburban Chicago hospital that Savio visited in 2002 for treatment of a sprained wrist after what she said was a confrontation with Peterson. The report includes a notation by someone, possibly her doctor, that Savio said her husband was a Bolingbrook police officer and that the police would not take a report on the incident.

Documents relating to Savio's domestic battery arrests are gone. According to her family, she had the arrests expunged from her record. A spokesman for the Will County state's attorney's office said authorities have found little paperwork on the arrests, and it is unclear who Savio was accused of attacking.

But Savio's family said that, in one of the cases, the alleged victim was Stacy Peterson. Doman said Stacy Peterson became pregnant while Drew Peterson was still married to Savio.

An emergency room report provided to The Associated Press by the family contains a notation that Savio was injured during a confrontation involving someone named Stacy. Savio, her family said, was arrested after the two women argued.

"He staged it to make it look like a battery," said Pamela Bosco, a close friend of Stacy Peterson's family.

Savio's family is relieved to see authorities investigating their long-held suspicions about Peterson.

"Finally, they're paying attention," Doman said. "They're looking at everything that they had there already."

The Illinois State Patrol Is Asking The St. Louis County Search Squad For Help
YouNewsTV™
Story Published: Nov 13, 2007 at 7:18 PM EST

Story Updated: Nov 13, 2007 at 7:18 PM EST

By KBJR News 1

Watch the story

The St. Louis County search and rescue squad has been called to assist in one of the most talked about cases in the country today.
23–year–old Stacy Peterson of Illinois has been missing for over two weeks.

The Illinois State Patrol contacted the St. Louis County Rescue Squad due to its expertise and advanced equipment.

"We've been very successful in search efforts here in St. Louis County and in Northeastern MN and I think the authorities in Illinois are aware of our track record," said St. Louis County Sheriff Ross Litman.

Stacy Peterson's sister has said she believes Stacy was stalked by her husband Drew Peterson who is a sergeant in the Bolingbrook, Illinois police department.

Stacy was last seen on October 28th.

Her car was found near a pond in Bollingbrook. Authorities believe her body may be in that pond. (I think this may be incorrect info)

Suspicion was cast on Drew Peterson who was in the process of a divorce from Stacy.

Drew has been married three times. One of his former wives was found dead in a bathtub in 2004. (we know this is incorrect, he's been married 4 times)

That death was initially ruled accidental but Stacy's disappearance has re–opened the case.

Saint Louis County's expertise is in underwater searches.

The squad has both a remotely operated underwater vehicle and a sonar scanner and has become proficient in dangerous underwater searches.

"Any time you put a dive team under water or ice you are taking a risk. Diving is dangerous," said St. Louis County Sheriff Ross Litman.

The squad plans to stay in Illinois for the remainder of the week.

In the wake of Stacy's disappearance, Peterson's first wife's body was exhumed today for further investigation.

JUST IN: Email from OTR Producer Steph Watts
by Greta Van Susteren


OTR Producer has been on the ground in Bolingbrook, Illinois since almost the day Sgt. Peterson’s wife Stacy vanished…he just sent me this email (and in my effort to give you the behind the scenes, I am posting his email to me):

 

From: Watts, Stephen
To: Van Susteren, Greta
Sent: Thu Nov 15 11:48:34 2007
Subject: Thursday Not Good News From Bolingbrook

Its bitter cold today in Bolingbrook and that’s not good news for searchers as most of their efforts are focused on bodies of waters.  Its been almost 20 days since Stacy Peterson went missing. Once the cold weather takes hold, freezing the lakes and ponds and snow begins to accumulate it will push the search for stacy off to the spring. This leaves little hope for  investigators, stacys family and everyone involved.

2 adult male bodies found near Lemont
By Gerry Smith

Tribune staff reporter

10:52 AM CST, November 15, 2007

 The bodies of two adult males were found early today in a forest preserve in unincorporated Cook County, Sheriff Tom Dart said this morning.

The bodies were found near southwest suburban Lemont.

The discovery was made early this morning near a newly paved bicycle path. The site is near Jeans Road and Illinois Highway 83 near the Des Plaines River and the Chicago Sanitary & Ship Canal, according to police officials. The area is near the Cook-DuPage border.

Helicopter footage from the site showed the remains bound and wrapped in white sheets.

An earlier report identified the bodies as belonging to a male and a female.

Authorities erected a white tent over the bodies.

So if a cop commits a crime or does something awful, all he has to do is resign and he is off the hook?

That's almost as good as no body/no case!

Not buying it.

I agree with you.  I will say, not all cops are this way.  My husband is a Lieutenant for the police department in the town we live in.  He has been a cop for almost 25 years.  I have seen LE around here take down bad cops.  My husband is the one that original people that told me about this case and he hates it that a few dirty cops make good cops look bad.  My suspicion from listening to the chief of police....Peterson was being investigated and the chief got overruled.  I am willing to bet there could still be charges from outside the department that would carry criminal charges.  IMO - getting the pension is not all bad.  His kids still have to be taken care of and when "Peterson" ends up in prison, who ever ends up taking care of the kids will be able to collect from that pension plan.  These kids are paying a huge price....a price no child should have to pay.  

Thanks
Carolyn

I agree that the pension will benefit his kids.  What bothers me is that he didn't make this move for his kids.  If he was that concerned he would have never murdered his wives.  He is using his kids as a shield.

I agree with that, IMO - this man (if you can call him that) does not really care about anyone or anything except himself.  I think that includes his kids.  The only reason I think it is a good thing is that my guess is at some point this guy will either end up in prison, on the run, or killing himself (most cops will choose death before prison). I just think the pension is important for the kids as some point as whomever ends up caring for the kids will need the financial assistance that they could get by petitioning the courts to garnish the pension.  If there is not pension what so ever, the kids are out of luck unless he is dead and the kids can collect social security.

Thanks
Carolyn

You never know when you will learn that additional piece of information that solves the entire matter. It can be tedious and it often requires to re-investigate and re-investigate and re-investigate…etc.

It also requires re-interviewing people….helping people remember things…..helping to trigger their memories.

The girlfriend.  In a previous conversation Greta had with Ric, Ric mentioned that years ago Drew was dating a girl, I think her name was Monica.  Monica's brother didn't approve of Drew dating her.  The brother was found hanged in his garage and it was ruled a suicide.  Friends didn't think he would kill himself.  One of the first officers on the scene was Drew.  This was many years ago, I think before marriage #3.

Say officer under scrutiny for fate of last two wives acting inappropriately
By Mike Celizic

Drew Peterson’s behavior and words during interviews with TODAY and NBC News did not match up with what would be expected from someone whose wife had abandoned him and his children for another man, two analysts said Thursday.

Body language expert Tonya Reiman and NBC analyst and former FBI profiler Clint Van Zandt reviewed the tapes of Peterson talking exclusively to TODAY’s Matt Lauer on Wednesday and saw a man sitting back with legs spread wide in a position of arrogance. They said they also saw a man who showed no anger or frustration or concern for his children, who have been left without a mother since the Oct. 28 disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy.

“Just indifference, pure indifference,” Reiman told Lauer after analyzing the tape. “[Peterson’s] wife is missing, and you notice that there’s really nothing going on with his expressions. You don’t see any remorse, you don’t see any anger, frustration.”

She and Van Zandt were most struck by Peterson’s response when Lauer asked what he’d say to his missing wife.

“Come home,” the former Bolingbrook, Ill., police sergeant had responded with a laugh and a shrug. “Tell people where you are. That’s all I can say.”

“Where’s the ‘I’m-in-trouble-right-now-’cause-you’re-missing’?” Reiman wondered. “Where’s the anger, where’s the frustration? I would be pleading as opposed to laughing.”

Van Zandt wondered why Peterson showed no apparent concern for his children. He has two teenage sons from his third marriage to Kathleen Savio, who was found dead in her bathtub four years ago while she was negotiating a divorce from Peterson.

Originally ruled an accidental drowning, the investigation into her death has been reopened after Stacy Peterson disappeared. He also has two sons, ages 4 and 2, by Stacy Peterson.

A person worried about those children, Van Zandt said, would have begged a missing spouse to at least send a message to those children.

“They’re scared to death, they’re frightened, they’re not sleeping at night. Do this for the sake of the children. I’ll give you the divorce tomorrow,” would have been the expected response, Van Zandt said.


Finally, some emotion
In a later interview on Wednesday with NBC News, Peterson had gotten emotional about his children, but only in response to a question about what would happen to them if he is charged and found guilty with killing either Savio or Stacy Peterson.

He briefly choked up when saying, “If my kids are OK and provided with, I’m OK with anything that comes. If you’re trying to get me to cry, you’re close.” 

Van Zandt also found it difficult to believe that the 53-year-old Peterson, a cop for 30 years, would be unable to provide any evidence that his 23-year-old wife of four years had, as he claims, found another man. He said Peterson’s responses made little sense in the context of what has been reported about the couple’s troubled marriage.

“This is a guy, we’re told, who wouldn’t leave his wife alone. He followed her to college, he monitored her cell phones, he knew who she saw socially,” he said. “Number one, he ought to be able to say, ‘Here’s her cell phone records. Here’s the name of her boyfriend.’ Number two, he can’t give us one name, one example of who this mysterious person she may have run off with is.”

Then there’s the question of opportunity, Van Zandt continued, saying, “Nobody yet has raised a hand and said, ‘This woman who’s raising four children, going to college, keeping a household, being followed everywhere by her almost stalkerlike husband, would have time to develop a boyfriend.’”

Stacy Peterson’s uncle, Kyle Toutges, confirmed that observation in a separate interview on Thursday from Chicago with TODAY’s Meredith Vieira.

“None of us knew of another man,” he said, speaking for her family. “Her husband, Drew, was on top of her all the time, there was no way she had time to be with another man. He knew where she was every minute.”

Asked for his reaction to Peterson’s laughing request to his wife to come home, Toutges said, “He knew where she was, and he knew she ain’t coming home, that’s what it said to me.”

Anna,
 Well first this Rick was all buddy buffy with Drew.. defended him, then turns aroud and is scared shitless of him.
 In the convo with Greta.. she asks when is the last time you have spoken to Drew?  Well before Rick said he wasn't accepting calls from him .. and then in this convo he says a day or so ago he missed a call from him??  :smt102 Sooo.. IMO made it sound like he maybe would have taken the call if he wasnt busy?  And why on earth. if this man is so scared shitless of DP.. would he be talking to media and planning interviews on tv? Just seems strange IMO. Do I make any sense?  lol

I wonder how many more sleletons in this creep's closet?

I believe he is arrogant because he knows they won't find Stacy. Wondered if that had something to do with TES not going back. Just a thought.

Yes, but if you are scared of some psycho like DP, going very high profile and public can be your best defense.  They can't off you if everybody is looking.  Would be much too obvious.  I think he is scared of DP because of the way he was rolling his eyes in TV interview with Greta almost like a hostage trying to indicate DP was in the next room or something, like a message for help?

So if I were really scared, I'd be saying I was and that I thought this guy was after me, etc. as a form of preventing him from making good on any threats, etc.

Does that make any sense?

We have just learned that yes, Dr. Baden, will be doing an autopsy on Kathleen Savio — Sgt. Drew Peterson’s wife #3 who has been exhumed. He is doing it on behalf of her family — not on behalf of the prosecutor. The prosecutor has his own medical examiner doing one. The question, as you know, is the cause and manner of death. Was her death an accident? or a homicide? We know that there was some leaking into the casket over the years so there will be a great challenge for the medical examiners than if the casket had been perfectly sealed….more information to come…

Greta will be covering the case in about 20 minutes.

Being reported DP is on MSNBC - this is some of what he said (as posted by someone on Greta's blog:


MSNBC just had a clip of DP and I quote “she was spoiled!” “she wanted a boob job, she got one, she wanted a tummy tuck, she got one, hair removal, blah, blah blah….she wanted anything that kept her as the center of attention! “And I gave it to her, I pampered her, it’s my fault she WAS spoiled!” All of this said in the PAST tense!! He said “because she’s not with me now” is why I talk about her in the past when Matt L. asked him about it.

Once again Steve Carcerano is providing a blow by blow detail of a fight between Kathleen and Stacy.  Every time this guy seems to be around to provide detail to certain incidents.  This guy is FOS and he is disputing stuff that Drew Peterson did to his wife.  Once again he was on the phone with Drew today.

Mark Fuhrman said DP is a stalker and he victimizes himself when things go wrong.

Mark Fuhrman said the one statement they missed on the today show of what Drew said and he caught was that Drew said "If they do find evidence it was fabricated."

Jeanine Pirro said she would bet her house that this is a homicide.

Michael Cardoza said it may be criminal but good luck that Peterson did it.

Bernie Grimm said put me on the deed to your house.

Jeanine Pirro said know what Peterson did he said set it up that somebody went into the house.

I'm glad they are doing an autopsy on KS - a few years late.

I think this sounds like a story on crime library - like someone posted that it was like the black widow male version.  And someone else said "death is following him."   That is how they finally caught some of the murderers on crimelibrary, is that everyone around them kept dying!  (or disappearing).

I hope they will look into the death of DP's former girlfriend Monica's brother who didn't like DP and ended up being found hanging in his garage and DP was the one who found him.  If this is a true story, someone needs to check out this death also! :silent:

I agreed with the psychologist that DP was disconnected in his interview - unfeeling and cold and showed no upset and confusion of his supposed story that his wife walked out on him.
Of the fact he spied on SP constantly, yet has no idea who she left with.
The story is bogus about her leaving with another man.

The comment about DP laughing when he requested his wife to come home (I didn't see it) is freeeeeeaky!!!!!  And "Toutges" (not sure who that is) saying, "He knew where she was, and he knew she ain't coming home, thats what is said to me."  That is chilling!!! :shock:

I think they need to drive him crazy by following him constantly until he cracks.  I have heard of murder cases like that - its possible.  Just don't let him alone - keep on it and hope he cracks. 
He has talked out of both sides of his mouth and contradicted himself so many times. 

I haven't heard him say anything kind or loving about someone who was his wife.  Other than she was a good mom.  A lot of crap and bad talk about SP.  Also KS sister said he would always talk KS down in front of the boys too.

I also find it strange he groups the two women together saying they were both emotionally disturbed and they were both from bad homes.

He's a women user and when they have kids and are no longer romantic and when they figure out he is mean and controlling and no longer is wearing his nice mask -he disposes of the women.

Yes, it is very TELLING that he is speaking of SP in the past tense!!!!
OMG
Unbelievable officer of the law and husband and father.

Peterson's second wife tells her story
She recalls he threatened to kill her, make it look like an accident

By Erika Slife

Tribune staff reporter

11:16 PM CST, November 15, 2007

 
For the last two weeks, Vicki Connolly has watched in disbelief and with conflicting emotions as controversy swirls around her ex-husband, Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson.

She doesn't know whether he had anything to do with the disappearance of his current wife, Stacy Peterson, who has been missing since Oct. 28, or the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, who died mysteriously in 2004.

But in the first interview granted by one of his ex-wives since Stacy's disappearance, Connolly, 48, said Thursday that during their marriage an increasingly controlling Peterson told her he could kill her and make it look like an accident. While she couldn't believe he would ever do it, something prompted her to confide in Bolingbrook police officers who she considered friends. "So they would know he said these things to me," she said.

She said Peterson would hit her but not hard enough to go to the hospital, and not often enough for her to expect it. It made it worse, she said, that she never knew it was coming. "It was mind games; it was head games," she said.

Peterson, who did not return phone calls Thursday, has denied being abusive to Savio or Stacy Peterson.

Police have described Peterson, 53, as a suspect in 23-year-old Stacy's disappearance and are reinvestigating Savio's death. Will County State's Atty. James Glasgow said her death appeared to have been staged as an accident. Savio's body was exhumed Tuesday.

Peterson, who is not charged with any crimes, has denied involvement in both cases.

"He has the experience, the knowledge, the means, and the mind to do that," she said, her voice trailing off. "That's all I've thought about. . . . I'm still working through it. I'll be honest."

This much Connolly knows: She was married to Peterson for 10 years, beginning in 1982. They raised each other's children from previous marriages. They operated a bar together. She stuck by him through his infidelities and during legal problems in the 1980s—until she finally "caught him cheating on me with someone with my own eyeballs."

"The thing with Drew Peterson, and I'm sure if [Savio and Stacy Peterson] were here to comment they would say the same thing, when it was good, it was wonderful, it was great," Connolly said. "But when it was bad, it was really bad."

She met Peterson in a Bolingbrook bar in the early 1980s. She was there with her friends to see a favorite band.

"This man, just oozing of confidence, he wanted to dance with me and buy my girlfriends drinks," she recalled. "And he set his eyes on me and it was like he was going to get me. He couldn't get me to move in with him fast enough."

At the time, she was married, a relationship that was already ending. She said it was only three or four months after her divorce that she moved in with Peterson. He was so persistent, she said.

"He thought he took me away to a better life. He definitely felt that way. It's ironic," she said. "In his eyes, he did believe that."

It's a pattern Peterson continued in his next two relationships, she said.

Several days after his wife's disappearance, Peterson told the Tribune that when he met Stacy, he had an "uncontrollable need to take care of her." On Wednesday, Peterson told the "Today" show that both Stacy and Kathleen came from troubled homes.

Henry Savio, Kathleen's older brother, disputed that assertion. "No, we're OK," he said. "She was a very strong woman." He added that Kathleen owned her own condo and worked as an accountant.

Connolly said she also was well off when she met Peterson. She had a steady job at a bank and drove a new car. But she thought it was romantic that he wanted to save her.

In hindsight, his motive is now clear, she said.

"I believe that man had a disease to his ego. He's a legend in his own mind," she said.

The couple's honeymoon ended about two years after they were married. He worked with the Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad as an undercover narcotics officer. He was a talented officer, she said, and his success poisoned his outlook.

"He really led a double life. But what fed his ego was his line of work, how he could deceive people," she said. "When he'd come home, he'd be the exact opposite. He could do it and he could do it with no problems."

His zeal for his job, though, led to a brief downfall. According to court documents, Peterson was fired in 1985 after the Bolingbrook Fire and Police Commission found him guilty of official misconduct, disobedience, failure to report a bribe and self-assigned police action. At the time, he was working on a case against a reputed drug dealer.

Connolly declined to comment on the case, but she said it was during this time she learned of his first of many affairs. But she forgave him.

In 1986, Peterson was reinstated after a Will County judge overruled the commission's decision. And his controlling behavior intensified, she said.

"We had bugs in our house. He put a microphone in our kitchen and taped our conversations. He was cheating so much he wanted to make sure I wasn't," she said. "His whole thing with us is that, 'I need to know my family is safe at home and you're not going to be doing anything you shouldn't be doing'—and that enabled him to do whatever he wanted."

When tensions would boil over, the police came to the house a few times, she said, but added, "the police were our friends," and no reports were filed.

Finally, about 1992, she had enough. By this time, he was already having an affair with Savio, she said, and it was easy for them to divorce. She called it amicable.

Now, although remarried and living on a farm Downstate, she still feels resentment when looking back on her life with Peterson.

"We had such a great life and he blew it. It wasn't good enough for him. He had four great wives who did everything for him. And it was never enough for Drew Peterson."

Earlier Thursday, the Bolingbrook Police Pension Board voted unanimously to give Peterson his pension, saying the law prohibited it from taking any other action, even though one board trustee expressed apprehension.

"While I understand the pension statutes, I'm not comfortable with the decision we have to make today," Trustee Alyssia Lee said, reading a prepared statement. "I am aware that if I am the only no vote, Sgt. Peterson will receive his pension. Therefore my decision is based solely on the statute."

Attorney Richard Reimer issued a news release explaining the board had no alternative but to grant Peterson's request for retirement and give him his $6,067.71 monthly pension.

"While the trustees . . . are sensitive to the intense scrutiny placed on Sgt. Peterson and, unfortunately, the Village of Bolingbrook, the Board is required to grant Sgt. Peterson's benefits without delay, as to do otherwise would expose the trustees to liability for breach of their fiduciary duties . . .," the release stated.

A grand jury has subpoenaed witnesses in the Savio and Stacy Peterson investigations. A source familiar with the cases said Drew Peterson exercised his 5th Amendment rights when he appeared last week.

State police searched a water-filled quarry Thursday and coordinated a ground search with about two dozen of Stacy Peterson's friends and relatives, finding nothing.

thx klaasend & oldfart

strange about the eyes -
maybe unconscious reaction to interior lying

I had noticed he closed his eyes a lot during an interview
someone else noticed he "blinked" a lot

All his wives are collaborating each other's story!
No surprise.
Funny 2nd wife would say it was so good at the good times, when it was so bad at the bad times.
To me that would be all bad.
It has to be safe and nonthreatening all the time for me to say it is good.
But I have seen both in my life so I can say that.

Sergeant Peterson Blames Missing Wife for Media Circus

Aired November 15, 2007 - 20:00:00   ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.


MIKE BROOKS, GUEST HOST: Tonight: After weeks of hiding out and lashing out at the media, it seems Drew Peterson just can`t stop talking. The veteran police sergeant continues his media blitz, still denying he had anything to do with his third wife`s mysterious death or his fourth wife`s disappearance. He says 23-year-old Stacy Peterson left on her own, and now says he`s angry with her for creating this media circus.
And with the a second autopsy under way of wife number three, more witnesses reportedly called before a grand jury.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The husband of missing woman Stacy Peterson making his case on national TV yesterday, denying he had anything to do with her disappearance more than two weeks ago. Well, now Sergeant Drew Peterson says he still believes Stacy left him for another man. Meantime, a man who knew Peterson`s previous wife says a grand jury has been talking to witnesses about her death. Kathleen Savio was found dead in her bathroom in 2004. It was ruled an accidental drowning at the time, but her body was exhumed earlier this week after suspicion that her death may not have been an accident.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BROOKS: Good evening. I`m Mike Brooks, in for Nancy Grace. Tonight, Drew Peterson speaks out yet again.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Still more questions than answers (INAUDIBLE) mysterious death of Drew Peterson`s third wife, previously camera-shy Peterson talking to the media yet again, some shocked at what Peterson has to say, this as witnesses reportedly called to testify before a grand jury.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I was actually on my way home that evening from work. Drew pulled up next to me in the police car. It so happened that we were on the same street, and he asked me to go to the house within the next 10 to 15 minutes. He said he was trying to drop off the kids for, like, the last day-and-a-half, and she wasn`t answering the door. And that wasn`t like Kathy not to do. If he was a couple of minutes late, she would, you know, be right on the phone with the police department.

He came -- after her best friend came into the bathroom, I yelled out her name a couple times. She started screaming, and that`s when Drew came running up the stairs right into the bathroom. I`m looking at her. You know, he did check her pulse, and then started screaming out, What am I going to tell my kids?

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BROOKS: Good evening. I`m Mike Brooks, in for Nancy Grace. Thanks for joining us. Well, it seems that Drew Peterson just can`t stop talking to the media. His fourth wife, Stacy, still missing, wife number three -- her body was exhumed the other day and another autopsy done, and he says that she is the one creating this media circus.

And the person he spoke to most recently is with us here on set tonight. Joining me here in New York is Jon Leiberman, correspondent with "America`s Most Wanted." Jon, thanks for joining us.

JON LEIBERMAN, "AMERICA`S MOST WANTED": You got it, Mike.

BROOKS: So what did he have to say?

LEIBERMAN: Well, I got to tell you, I`ve been hammering away at Drew, saying I want to see him out searching for his wife, for his fourth wife...

BROOKS: Right.

LEIBERMAN: ... and I want him to call on her to -- you know, I want him to actively help in the search. So I called him today to ask him to do that, to tell him to come on "America`s Most Wanted" and let`s help bring Stacy home.

BROOKS: And what`d he say?

LEIBERMAN: In the course of our conversation, he says that he`s angry with Stacy because, I have this circus surrounding me and my family. So he`s angry with her for that. And I asked him the question, Do you want Stacy back? And he interpreted that to mean did I mean did he want her back to be his wife...

BROOKS: Right. Right.

LEIBERMAN: ... and live in the house. And he says, Whether I want her back anymore is questionable, he says. I hope she exposes herself to be alive and well. And I said, Drew, is she alive and well? And he says, I`m hoping she is.

BROOKS: I`m hoping she is. Now, how was his whole demeanor with you?

LEIBERMAN: It`s amazing, Mike. He is calm. He`s cool. He`s collected. He wasn`t rattled at all. He said he was frustrated by the fact that our host, John Walsh, had gone on some shows...

BROOKS: Right.

LEIBERMAN: ... and basically convicted him. He did say, you know, he`s innocent until proven guilty. He said that to me. And he reiterated that he had nothing to do with the disappearance of Stacy or the accidental death, what was ruled accidental, of Kathleen Savio, his third wife. But very calm, I mean, almost eerily so.

BROOKS: Well, you know, yesterday, he was on the "Today" show with Matt Lauer, and he -- again, out in front of the media he says is creating this whole circus. Let`s take a listen to what he had to say with Matt Lauer yesterday.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SGT. DREW PETERSON, SUSPECT IN DISAPPEARANCE OF STACY PETERSON: She never told me she was seeing another man. She -- well, maybe she did. But I believe she`s with somebody else right now.

MATT LAUER, "TODAY": Let me just go back to did she or did she not say to you, I`m seeing someone else, Drew?

PETERSON: It wasn`t put like that. She found somebody else, that was her exact words.

LAUER: And you believe that she is now not dead, that she has actually run off with another man.

PETERSON: I believe that, yes.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BROOKS: That was video of Drew Peterson yesterday on the "Today" show, a stoic Peterson tells his version of what he believes happened to his missing wife, Stacy.

I want to go right out to her -- from Los Angeles, to Bethany Marshall, psychoanalyst and author of "Deal Breakers." Bethany, you`ve seen this. You`ve have heard what Jon had to say about his whole demeanor, and you`ve seen, you know, other news clips of him. What do you think of his body language and his behavior?

BETHANY MARSHALL, PSYCHOANALYST: I have so many thoughts. The way he`s sitting back and his legs are planted in front of him, it`s as if he`s arrogant, he`s indifferent. I thought about all the research about sociopathy, which is sociopaths have very low levels of anxiety and that`s why their conscience doesn`t form (ph) because they`re not afraid of getting into trouble. So they tend to go in front of the camera, even if they`ve committed homicide, because they don`t really think they`ve done anything wrong.

During the interview, he expresses no concern for his children, other than when Matt Lauer says, What will happen to the children if you go to jail? Then he gets a little emotional when it`s all about him. For someone who has, like, a stalker-type mentality, who is literally on top of his wife all the time, he presents not one theory about who she went away with, not one cell phone record, not one story about who it might be.

And at the very end, when Matt Lauer says to him, Do you want to say anything to her, he kind of turns into the camera and laughs. And I don`t know the exact quote, but something like, you know, Come home. But it`s as if he doesn`t really know she`s there. I think that the overall picture is of indifference and as if she really doesn`t -- he doesn`t really think she`s around.

BROOKS: You know, and he says that she took of with somebody else. And you know, we talked yesterday with one of Kathleen Savio -- wife number three -- with one of her relatives, who said that he was extremely violent towards Kathleen Savio. And yesterday also on the "Today" show, he says -- Matt Lauer said, Did you ever hit her? Peterson said, "Never, never hit her, never raised a hand to her. And then he goes on to say, I don`t believe our relationship was ever violent. There were a few incidents where Stacy and I would have verbal confrontations, and I`d be in her face and she hated being cornered. And one time she hit me in the head with a frozen steak."

What do you think of that, Bethany?

MARSHALL: Well, what I really think is -- I thought about the pattern of spousal abuse, where the man kind of stalks, belittles, blames. He`s on top of the woman all the time. And then when she reacts, he says, Oh, kind of out of control, aren`t you, little missy? And that was kind of the reaction he had with Matt Lauer on the "Today" show. It`s as if the women were unstable, hormonal, they were getting their periods and then they would, you know, threaten to leave him.

He said at one point that he had tossed her into the pool at a party and she came out swinging. But he had very little insight as to why she actually might be angry with him. So it was really the lack of insight seemed to fit the profile of an abuser, and the externalization of blame and blaming the victim.

BROOKS: Well, Bethany, as you were just saying, he was trying to blame it on everything but himself, all these other outside things. And he went on to say yesterday, "I`m not trying to be funny here. Stacy would ask for a divorce after her sister died on a regular basis. I`m not trying to be funny. And it was based on her menstrual cycle. It was like any moment she had when she was unhappy with something, she would want a divorce."

I want to go out to Pat Brown, criminal profiler and author. What do you get by this guy`s behavior, as a professional profiler, Pat?

PAT BROWN, CRIMINAL PROFILER: Well, one of the reasons he is starting to blame the menstrual cycle of this woman is because when he got her at 17, she was controllable. That`s why he wanted a younger girl. And then she had two kids, she became a mother and she became more of a woman, and she said, Wait a minute. I don`t think I like the way I`m being treated. So she started fighting back.

And you know, he has a badge. He can use that on the job, but you can`t use it at home. So he`s frustrated because in his work, he gets a lot of -- you know, he gets his power and he gets his control. But at home, apparently, after a little while, he loses it.

BROOKS: Do you agree with that, Bethany?

MARSHALL: I completely agree with that. But I also think that it shows a lack of insight into why she was angry with him. If she`s continually threatening to leave, it`s because she really doesn`t want to be with him. And in the interview, he failed to ever link that to his own behavior.

BROOKS: Let`s go out to the phones. Mary from Washington, D.C., my home town. Good to be with you.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Thank you. My question was, have they ever explored the possibility that he may have paid someone to knock these wives off, or you know, to do that? That`s the reason why he`s able to act so relaxed, because technically, he didn`t do it himself?

BROOKS: Jon Leiberman, has that ever come up?

LEIBERMAN: Yes. That`s an excellent question that the caller had. We have sources inside the investigation theorizing that maybe he did have help. And that`s one thing they`re looking at right now as they piece together the timeline of this case. Who did he have contact with in the days leading up to Stacy`s disappearance? And then who was unaccounted for in that period of time?

And I got to tell you, Mike, another scary thing, actually, and that`s why I think Drew is so insecure -- we have sources inside this investigation who say that he tapped the phones of each of his four wives repeatedly to monitor their conversations and to see who they were talking to.

BROOKS: And that goes back to the whole thing Bethany was talking about, and Pat, about the controlling -- about how controlling this guy was.

LEIBERMAN: Absolutely.

BROOKS: You know, now, there is a grand jury that is sitting right now, involved in this case, and there have been a number of witnesses back and forth, you know, from the courthouse to this grand jury. We hear, Jon, that Paul Peterson, Drew`s brother, and another Bolingbrook police officer have been in front of this grand jury. What do you know about that?

LEIBERMAN: One thing that it appears that the grand jury wants to explore, Mike, is who in the Bolingbrook Police Department had the inside on this whole investigation back when Kathleen Savio died in the bathtub?

BROOKS: Right.

LEIBERMAN: Because they were initially at the scene. Then state police were called in once they realized that this was a Bolingbrook cop`s wife who was dead.

BROOKS: Right.

LEIBERMAN: But there have been a lot of questions about, Did Bolingbrook try and sweep this under the rug? So one thing that they`re trying to paint in front of the grand jury is, What did these Bolingbrook cops know? What did Drew say at work about it? And of course, what did he say about Stacy and his other relationships.

You know, a lot of people told us that Drew had a lot of women on the side...

BROOKS: Interesting.

LEIBERMAN: ... all throughout his career at the Bolingbrook Police Department, and everybody around knew about it.

BROOKS: That`s very interesting, that he had women on the side, because we heard again from one of Kathleen Savio`s relatives yesterday that the confrontation between Kathleen and Stacy took place in the car while he was still married to Kathleen and Stacy was in the car. And he handcuffed her and then called police, where he probably should have been calling the police on himself.

Let`s go back out to the lines. Steve from Michigan, thanks for being with us.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Hey, thanks for having me on. I was just wondering, why is he disguising his identity? Every time you see him being interviewed, he is looking down at the camera, like the footage you`re showing. Coming out of his garage, why does he have his face covered? It seems to me he`s got something to hide.

BROOKS: Pat Brown, what do you have to say about that?

BROWN: I think the reason he did that when he was being pursued by the media was that they were coming into his territory and they were -- it was on their terms, not his terms. And he didn`t appreciate that, so he was saying, Look, you`re not going to be able to take the pictures you want of me. I`m going to cover that up.

But when he can call the shots, when he got, you know, the request from the "Today" show to go on, he said, OK, I`ll do that. Now he thinks he`s in control, he can plan everything he wants to do and do the perfect interview. At least, he thought it was a perfect interview.

BROOKS: Let`s uncage the lawyers. With us here in New York is Richard Herman defense attorney, and out of Atlanta, Renee Rockwell. OK, Richard, he`s your client. This guy, all of our panelists for the last couple of weeks have been saying, Look, he should just stay at home, stay in his house and keep his mouth shut.

RICHARD HERMAN, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: You heard that devastating analysis by Dr. Bethany Marshall. That`s exactly why a defense attorney does not want their client talking to the press. Any move he makes is going to be criticized. There is nothing he can do to gain favor with the public or with anybody right now. He has to wire his jaw shut. He has to go on a vacation. He has to stay out of the public eye right now. Every move he makes is being criticized and it`s being evaluated the wrong way. He`s getting destroyed in the public`s view.

BROOKS: Do you think that he is any better off today and yesterday after doing that interview with Matt Lauer than he was the day before?

HERMAN: Mike, he`s absolutely worse off. If it goes to trial, this prosecutor is looking to make a name for himself. He`s got to get votes to win an election. He looks like he`s got tunnel vision here. It looks like he`s going to indict Peterson on something. And these tapes are going to be played to the jury. It`s really bad this guy`s talking. I cannot believe it! It`s incredible.

BROOKS: Well, you and I don`t agree very often, but Richard, I have to agree with you on that.

Now, Renee, he`s asking for an attorney. Get your airfare from the cheapest airline you can find and get on down there. Why would he be on TV, national TV, soliciting for an attorney?

RENEE ROCKWELL, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: And you know what, Mike? Attorneys will stand up and line up for free to represent a case that`s going to have a lot of media attention. But think of what he`s doing when he`s giving these interviews, Mike. He`s actually committing himself to, I have never been violent with my wife. I have never done this, I have never done that. Those words will come back to haunt him, Mike, because this isn`t an interview that you can throw out and say, Hey, I wasn`t read my rights, I wasn`t this -- this has no police involvement. This is in front of the media, so it will come back. He needs to shut up and not say anything else.

BROOKS: Well, I think we have a consensus from the defense attorneys that, Oh, that`s what he needs to do is to shut his mouth, stay in his house and listen to his -- and listen to whoever`s been giving him legal assistance. I don`t know who it is, but they`re not giving him right assistance.

ROCKWELL: No, he does not have a lawyer, I promise you, because no lawyer would let him do what he`s doing.

BROOKS: But he probably thinks he`s smart enough so he can handle it.

Let`s go out to the phones. Sandy from Arkansas, thanks for being with us.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Thank you. My question is -- I love your show, first of all.

BROOKS: Thank you.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: And this is for the defense attorneys. But I`d like to know if there`s any way -- first of all, I don`t agree with the defense attorneys. But I`d like to know if the pathologist, maybe Dr. Michael Baden or whoever, can get some DNA from her hair, even though it was still full of blood, if there`s still any way they can pull DNA from her hair?

BROOKS: Well, you know, it`s very interesting you bring that up. The NANCY GRACE show has been able to confirm with Kathleen Savio`s family that an independent autopsy will be conducted by the Savio family, independent of the other autopsy by Dr. Blum (ph) that is being conducted as we speak. And this one is going to be conducted by noted forensic pathologist Michael Baden. So that`s a very good question.

But I`m going to throw that question out to Dr. Marty Makary, physician and professor of public health at Johns Hopkins in Washington, D.C. What do you think they can glean from this?

DR. MARTY MAKARY, PHYSICIAN, PROF. OF PUBLIC HEALTH, JOHNS HOPKINS: Well, there`s probably realistically very little that he`s going to be able to glean from this. I mean, it`s been years. And common things being common, autopsy aside -- and there`s no such thing as an independent autopsy, just like there`s no such thing as an independent counsel. Common things being common, a middle-aged person that dies in the bathtub -- I mean, what do you think?

BROOKS: I tell you what. We`re going to -- we`ll get right back to that.

But tonight`s "Case Alert." Several investigations under way in the death of a 40-year-old man tasered at the Vancouver airport, and it`s all caught on video. Robert Dziekanski appears to confused and lost at the arrivals area. According to reports, he was unable to find his mother for hours. Video shows him throwing a computer and breaking a glass table and a window before officers arrive. Then, unable to communicate with police because he speaks Polish, he walks away. Then officers taser and subdue him. Moments later, Dziekanski goes unconscious.

And tonight, check out all the new messages about Nancy and the babies and the twins, plus photos and video. It`s all on CNN.com/nancygrace. Click on Nancy`s baby blog.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I also think that every woman in America should be appalled that that was his direction (ph), that while she had PMS issue that she wanted a divorce. I think he should be ashamed of himself. I think he should be looking to find Stacy.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BROOKS: I`m Mike Brooks, in for Nancy Grace. Well, Drew Peterson back in the spotlight again. He says he doesn`t want the attention and he blames it all on his missing fourth wife, Stacy, for creating what he called "this media circus."

Well, part of this media circus today was "America`s Most Wanted" correspondent Jon Leiberman, who`s joining me here on set. Jon, as we talk about this more and more, how is her family -- how is her family reacting to him being on TV all the time?

LEIBERMAN: Oh, they`re so distraught over it. I mean, think about it. And all the searchers too. I mean, every time that Drew goes on television or talks to us and says, You know what? Stacy walked away. She doesn`t want to be found. She`s with some guy -- it just throws -- it`s just -- it throws salt in the wound to this family who`s missing a loved one and to the dozens and dozens of searchers out there who are looking for Stacy day in and day out and praying and hoping that they find her.

BROOKS: Let`s talk about this cell phone. She was last seen when?

LEIBERMAN: She was last seen earlier in the day on Sunday, that Sunday.

BROOKS: And then he spoke to her about 9:00 o`clock?

LEIBERMAN: He claims that she called at 9:00 PM, and at that point, she relayed the fact that she was leaving him.

BROOKS: Now, we talk a lot about cell phone technology. Now, he says that she called him on her cell phone. We know that they`ve done two search warrants of the house. They took out computer records, cell phone records, everything else. And they probably have subpoenaed -- I know as a former investigator, I would have subpoenaed the cell phone records already.

LEIBERMAN: Oh, yes.

BROOKS: Won`t they be able to tell through this technology, you know, that it wasn`t just, you know, her going, Hey -- dialing her phone up, Hey, how`re you doing? And then, you know, dialing -- getting on his phone...

(CROSSTALK)

LEIBERMAN: It would ping in the exact same area.

BROOKS: Exactly.

LEIBERMAN: As you know. But was he under duress somehow? Was he -- we don`t know. Maybe he made a mistake, and maybe that`s the mistake that will bring him down. We don`t know. But we do know that police clearly have evidence. They have chinks in his timeline. They have contradicting testimony, enough to come out and call him the suspect in her disappearance.

BROOKS: Yes, I mean, he -- we went from nothing to then, during the press conference, they called him -- he`s going from now a -- you know, a - - you know, to a suspect, you know?

LEIBERMAN: And you notice, Mike...

BROOKS: A person of interest to a suspect.

LEIBERMAN: And you notice it happened after he spoke to the grand jury and they spoke -- the police spoke to the two older children of Drew. There are problems with his timeline and his story.

BROOKS: We`re going to talking about that.

But tonight "Case Alert." Verdict in the case covered on the debut of the NANCY GRACE show. Just moments ago, a jury finds former high school football coach David Temple guilty of murdering his wife, Belinda, Temple found shot to death in her bedroom closet. For years, David Temple remained calm, claiming that it was an intruder, but police eventually found enough evidence for charges. Temple now faces life in prison.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: In a network interview, Drew Peterson says he has nothing to do with the disappearance of his wife, Stacy Peterson, or the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Peterson has never searched for Stacy. The former police sergeant claims he was never violent with the 23- year-old missing mother of two.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BROOKS: I`m Mike Brooks, in for Nancy Grace. Well, he claims he was never violent with wife number four, but we know different with wife number three.

I want to go right off to the phones, to Lorraine in New Jersey. Thanks for calling in, Lorraine.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hi. I have a question. How come they -- my question is, how come they`ve never done a lie detector test on him, if he`s so -- says he`s -- he didn`t do anything? How come they`re avoiding that?

BROOKS: Well, you know, I can -- let me answer that for you. I can tell you, Lorraine, that`s one of the first things I was talking about, you know, one of the things that investigators -- it`s a fantastic investigative tool. He was cooperative with the police early on, but then he says -- he said he lawyered up. But apparently, he`s not being cooperative with police anymore, and I would -- you know, right now, he has -- I`d say if you have nothing to hide, take a polygraph.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He swears he`s telling the truth, but is Drew Peterson hiding secrets about two of his wives? The mystery begins on October 28. That`s when Peterson, a veteran police sergeant, reported his fourth wife, Stacy, missing. The search for the 23-year-old began almost immediately, but while family members, volunteers and police looked for Stacy, her husband did not.

But authorities think Peterson knows exactly where Stacy is. They say he may have killed her. The case, however, do not end with Stacy. There are also questions about this woman, Kathleen Savio. She was Peterson`s third wife. She died under mysterious circumstances. Three years ago, the body of the 40-year-old was found in her bathtub. At the time, she and Peterson were getting divorced. Her death was ruled an accidental drowning. Police unearthed Kathy Savio`s casket, exhuming her body for an autopsy, hoping it`ll answer the questions her family continues to have.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

MIKE BROOKS, GUEST HOST: I`m Mike Brooks, in for Nancy Grace. Thanks for being with us. Well, as Drew Peterson continues to put his face in front of the media, his fourth wife, Stacy, is still missing, and third wife, Kathleen Savio, has -- right now, her body exhumed the other day, and is undergoing another autopsy. As we come to air, the NANCY GRACE show has been able to confirm that the Savio family`s request to have an independent autopsy done by another medical examiner, aside from the one right now who`s doing this, Dr. Blum -- this one is going to be conducted by noted pathologist Michael Baden.

Now, I want to go to the first autopsy. And Jon, I want to talk to you about that. The first autopsy took place -- I had some real problems with it as an investigator. Number one, the Illinois state police investigator who testified at this coroner`s inquest -- he was not even there at the scene. He didn`t observe the scene. He wasn`t present for the autopsy. You know, I`ve been involved in cases like this. I`m going to go to the scene and I`m going to be there for the autopsy. That`s one of the problems I have. There`s some other problems.

Kind of take us back and set the scene at that -- at that now could-be crime scene, where before it was an accidental drowning.

JON LEIBERMAN, "AMERICA`S MOST WANTED": It`s a laundry list of potential problems, Mike. Number one, the autopsy didn`t show any water in Kathleen`s lungs, which clearly, you would have to have for a drowning. Her tongue was clenched between her -- her mouth. And generally, in a drowning, you go unconscious. The muscles relax and your tongue is not clenched in your mouth.

Another problem in the same -- the same state police...

BROOKS: Right.

LEIBERMAN: ... investigator you referred to took Drew Peterson`s alibi hook, line and sinker. He said, I was with my family over the weekend, the few days prior. And he didn`t do any digging, this state police -- he just kind of signed off on it and said, OK, he was with his family, so it must be accidental.

So many other problems. There was no water analysis done between the water in Kathleen`s sinuses...

BROOKS: Right.

LEIBERMAN: ... to see if that`s the same water that came out -- that was in the bathtub, as well.

BROOKS: Right.

LEIBERMAN: I mean, so -- the drain was closed, yet they say the water somehow had to have dripped out. It just doesn`t make any sense.

BROOKS: You know, a lot of other things, too. Number one, she was -- it was an empty tub. Her hair was still wet. She had a laceration on the back of her head. And the autopsy -- autopsy number one said that there were contusions over other parts of her body.

Dr. Marty Makary, physician and professor of public health at Johns Hopkins, OK, does this make any sense to you? The dry tub, the wet hair, the cut on the back of the head that they said was consistent with her falling in the tub and knocking her unconscious, other contusions on her body, the clenched tongue -- does any of this make any sense to you? And try to help us explain why this would -- her body would be in this condition.

DR. MARTY MAKARY, PHYSICIAN, PROF. OF PUBLIC HEALTH, JOHNS HOPKINS: I think the two of you just completed the autopsy and there`s probably no need to do one.

(LAUGHTER)

MAKARY: I mean, these made sense to anybody. I mean, what did she have, a sudden stroke or a heart attack at age 41, at the time when the bathtub was full of water? I mean, there`s no reason somebody should have a laceration or a tongue that`s not retracted in the back of their throat if it was a natural death.

BROOKS: Very interesting. So is this Dr. Blum, and now probably Dr. Baden -- are they going to go now, take a look at the body, see if there`s anything they can glean from this new autopsy after the body has been exhumed? And then what else are they going to be looking for, Doctor?

MAKARY: Essentially, this is going to be a documentation mission. It sounds like the first autopsy just did not well document the injuries and put them together with a reasonable conclusion. So what they`re going to do is get that down on the record and have the people that need to be there in the room.

BROOKS: Very interesting. I want to go back out the lines. Susan from Ohio, thanks for joining us.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Thank you, sir. It`s such a great privilege to speak to you, Mike.

BROOKS: Good to have you on.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: And I want to say congratulations to Nancy and to her new family that`s born, and I am thinking of her and praying for she and the newborns.

BROOKS: And I can tell you that she appreciates your thoughts and your prayers. She`s probably watching us right now.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Thank you, sir. I`m retired from the medical field, and I find this case you`re discussing this evening very, very fascinating. And my question to you and to Nancy is this. What would be the motive for Drew Peterson killing one or both of these ladies? Was the motive -- if he did this crime or crimes, is it insurance money or is it other relationships, or was there another factor? Has his personal life been investigated to a greater degree to define whether or not there was some sort of motive for him doing this?

BROOKS: Pat Brown, criminal profiler, author of "Killing for Sport."

PAT BROWN, CRIMINAL PROFILER: Very simple. For a psychopath, people are either useful or they`re in the way. And if they`re no longer useful - - in other words, they`re not the good wife you want them to be, they`re not doing anything for you and you want to move on and get some other women, then they become in the way.

And most of us, when somebody becomes in the way, we divorce them. But then the problem is you have to deal with them the rest of your life, and you have to pay money, either child support or alimony. You certainly don`t get any insurance money. So for a psychopath, if they`re in the way, kill them. Then you don`t have to deal with them at all, and you get money and you can just be free forever. It really works well if you don`t get caught.

BROOKS: Bethany Marshall, I want you to weigh in on that question also.

BETHANY MARSHALL, PSYCHOANALYST: Pat Brown`s brilliant, and I totally agree with her. And she`s really talking about splitting, too. When you`re with me, you`re good, and when you`re away from me, you`re bad. What also comes to mind is that 44.4 (ph) percent of all homicides occur over disputes around property and money. And I know that Kathleen Savio was -- he wasn`t wanting to pay the $2,000 in child support a month. And then also, if Stacy Peterson was on the brink of leaving the relationship, he might have had to divide the property and to support her in some way. And we also know that women are at the greatest risk of homicide as they`re about to leave a relationship.

BROOKS: You know, I want to go back out to the lawyers, Renee Rockwell in Atlanta and Richard Herman here in New York. These statements and everything we`re seeing on TV of him up there running his mouth, are these going to be admissible in court, should he be indicted?

RICHARD HERMAN, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Well, he should not be indicted because there`s no case in either one of these. And as far as...

BROOKS: Oh, Richard! Come on! What do you mean, there`s no case in either one of these?

HERMAN: No case -- listen to me. There`s no case in either -- Mike, by the way, it`s primetime. I told you before. I bought you a tie. It`s an extra long tie for you. It goes great with that shirt. Come on, buddy.

BROOKS: I appreciate that. But sometimes the answers you give, I think your tie`s a little too tight, so you got to loosen up a little bit, boy.

(LAUGHTER)

HERMAN: They will be admissible in court, thought, and that`s why he shouldn`t be talking right now.

BROOKS: What do you think, Renee?

RENEE ROCKWELL, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: The statements will come in because they`re not statements that were involuntarily given to law enforcement. But the best thing that could happen to him defense-wise is if he got indicted right now, the state wouldn`t be ready to present any kind of case. There`s no evidence. There`s no evidence that there`s even a homicide in wife number four or wife number three.

BROOKS: Well...

ROCKWELL: So the best thing would be an indictment because he could file speedy trial, and once you get tried once, Mike, that`s it. They`ve got one crack at you, and that`s it.

BROOKS: Well, they`ve got one crack at you. Now, Richard, how long do you think this grand jury is going to continue?

HERMAN: Oh, this grand jury`s an investigative grand jury. This thing could go on for six months, renew it, maybe a year, who knows, Mike? I mean, this autopsy -- what`s going on now, this exhumation of the body, is an absolute disgrace. The forensic pathologist will tell you they`re not going to find anything now that they didn`t have before. None of those soft tissue injuries are going to show up. They`ve all been decomposed. There`s nothing except fractures that were found in the initial one. This is a disgrace. This is just done for the public, to win votes. That`s what`s being done now.

ROCKWELL: But Richard, can I jump in on this...

BROOKS: No, you know -- win votes? What are we talking about votes here, Jon?

LEIBERMAN: This is ridiculous. Yes, they may not even need to have any substantive differences...

BROOKS: Right.

LEIBERMAN: ... in the autopsies because now they`ve gone back, they`re looking at documents. They`re looking at restraining orders. They`re looking at a pattern of behavior leading up to Kathleen Savio`s death. So they may not even -- they`re now looking at all of what the autopsy will show through a different pair of glasses now.

BROOKS: Right. And Richard -- Richard and Renee, can you say timeline? Doesn`t add up here, folks.

ROCKWELL: Well, you know what? But he`s the one that`s making the timeline. That`s why defendants should never say anything because once you say it, you paint yourself into a corner. But regarding this exhumation, they might be doing this not only to see if he`s squirming a little bit, but to see if the -- what was presented and the authorities that were involved first time around didn`t cook something up and maybe not present a fair finding. And maybe somebody else was involved in the undetermined or accidental finding of a drowning.

BROOKS: But can you say Scott Peterson?

(LAUGHTER)

(NEWSBREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: ... mother of two, 23-year-old Stacy Peterson, southwest suburban Bolingbrook, gone, massive searches, suspicion finally cast the way of the husband, Bolingbrook police Sergeant Drew Peterson, who is now an official police suspect. He maintains his wife ran off with another man and hasn`t participated in any search efforts.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: If this was my wife, I`d be out here, you know? I`d be doing all I could. This is just wrong.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BROOKS: I`m Mike Brooks, in for Nancy Grace. Well, looks like Drew Peterson is still making the rounds on the media outlets. Just yesterday, he had an interview on the "Today" show with Matt Lauer. Let`s take a look at that.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

MATT LAUER, "TODAY": Can you look at me straight in the eye and tell me that you had nothing to do with the death of your third wife, Kathy, or the disappearance of your fourth wife, Stacy?

SERGEANT DREW PETERSON, SUSPECT IN STACY`S DISAPPEARANCE: I can look right in your eye and say I had nothing to do with either of those incidences.

LAUER: Do you have anything you can present to me that might prove your innocence?

PETERSON: No. I don`t know what to tell you. Just let the case unfold as it does.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BROOKS: That was video of Drew Peterson on the "Today" show. Peterson calmly denies having anything to do with his third wife`s death or his fourth wife`s disappearance.

I want to go back out to Jon Leiberman. Jon, the grand jury meets every Wednesday, you were telling me.

LEIBERMAN: Right. Right.

BROOKS: How many people have been before the grand jury so far?

LEIBERMAN: It appears four have been in front of the grand jury. So this is a slow process.

BROOKS: Right.

LEIBERMAN: And somebody mentioned earlier, they`re really in no rush to indict because they do need to build a case. We know they got a lot of physical evidence out of the house in the way of cell phones, computers, weapons. Drew had a lot...

BROOKS: What kind of weapons do they have?

LEIBERMAN: Drew had a number of rifles, apparently, in the house. They had -- this is also a guy, Mike, a lot of people don`t know -- he`s a martial artist, as well. Drew Peterson knows martial arts. I mean, he`s very skilled.

BROOKS: Very interesting. Now, he has resigned. He is no longer a Bolingbrook police sergeant. He just resigned. When did he resign?

LEIBERMAN: Earlier this week, Monday, he turned in his resignation.

BROOKS: He turned in his resignation. Now, he has 39 (SIC) years on the job, as we say. I had 26, he has 39. I know I get my pension every month. Now, he`s resigned now. Is he eligible for a pension still?

LEIBERMAN: Drew is entitled to $6,000 a month.

BROOKS: Whoa! I was with the wrong department.

LEIBERMAN: Yes, $6,000 a month, unless he`s convicted of a felony in connection with his employment as a police officer. So let`s say he`s convicted and let`s take...

BROOKS: Right.

LEIBERMAN: ... a few steps (INAUDIBLE) Let`s say he`s convicted of some felony in this case.

BROOKS: Sure.

LEIBERMAN: He will probably argue that he deserves the pension because whatever the felony is wasn`t in direct connection with him being a cop.

BROOKS: So what you`re telling me -- and again, we don`t want to convict the guy.

LEIBERMAN: Right.

BROOKS: But if he is found guilty of any crime, he will still get his pension! Oh!

LEIBERMAN: Unless -- unless it can be proven that it was a felony in connection with him being a Bolingbrook police sergeant.

BROOKS: A job-related felony. Unbelievable.

Tonight, CNN "Heroes."

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

FOREST WHITAKER, ACTOR: Unfortunately, right now, tumors of the brain are the biggest cause of death in children, really, over leukemia. And I don`t think people really understand that or know.

Hi. I`m Forest Whitaker, and my hero is Dr. Keith Black, who is a neurosurgeon and researcher who has saved many lives in his work.

DR. KEITH BLACK, CEDARS-SINAI, LOS ANGELES: There`s nothing more frightening than a brain tumor. It affects our ability to speak, to feel, to interact with the environment. We`re dedicated to finding effective treatments for that.

WHITAKER: My grandmother had a brain tumor. They told us that it was inoperable and that she wouldn`t live out the year. And my mother and my sister, they found Dr. Black. And he did conduct the surgery, and she lived about nine years from that time.

BLACK: You get to help people. You get to try to have an impact on the lives of people facing very difficult problems.

What you see here is probably a metastatic tumor. This should be a very good patient, actually, for the gamma knife.

One of the most important things I think that we can do is to reach back into the community, is to provide for the next generation who, hopefully, will do even better than we`ve done in making discoveries. So we`ve created a program called Brainworks, and we bring about 200 students in from low-income schools. They get to be a neurosurgeon for a day.

WHITAKER: They`re able to play around with neurological toys, looking through microscopes, doing surgery on different things and having discussions where their voice is being heard.

BLACK: Some of the students, they`re now getting ready to apply to medical school. They want to go into neurology, science, as a result of that exposure.

WHITAKER: It`s that seed that I think it gives to people, that seed of hope when people come and sit in this chair, that seed that those kids have when they hear that, Yes, I can do that, he did that. He`s allowed them to embrace their futures and believe in their dreams. He`s a hero.

BROOKS: Now over to Headline News. Glenn Beck, what`s up?

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

GLENN BECK, HOST, "GLENN BECK": Well, as politicians waste time by finger pointing and name calling, drug lords continue to wreak havoc along our southern borders and creep farther and further inside our states. Somehow, I`ve gotten pulled into the mix, but it`s just a dirty trick of misdirection, and I`ll have all the details and tell you what side I`m on in just a bit. I bet it`s the same side you`re on. Then Congressman Tom Tancredo is running a controversial new ad that pairs (ph) illegal immigration and national security. We`ll talk to him about the real dangers and the necessary solutions to keep you safe. And oh, O.J.`s back in the news! Next.

BROOKS: I`m Mike Brooks, in for Nancy Grace. First I just want to thank Richard Herman for this nice tie. It`s almost as nice as the clip-on ties he wears on the show every night. Richard, thank you very much. I do appreciate that. It`s not Brioni (ph), but it`s not bad. Thank you.

HERMAN: Proper gentleman.

BROOKS: Thank you, sir.

I want to go right back out to Jon Leiberman, correspondent for "America`s Most Wanted." Jon, we get a lot of calls asking, What about wife number one and number two?

LEIBERMAN: Yes, it`s a great question. Wife number one of Drew`s was a high school sweetheart. They met very young. Wife number two, they were married for about 10 years between the early `80s and early `90s. And he met wife number three while he was still with wife number two.

BROOKS: Out to Anna from Indiana. Anna, you got a question?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes. I`d like to know if her body, Kathleen`s body, was (INAUDIBLE) still in the bathtub when the police got there (INAUDIBLE) removed because if he was removed, he should have known better than that. He`s a cop hisself. And over the weekend, Geraldo interviewed the neighbor that said he found her in the bathtub first, and the way he described it, she was...

BROOKS: Yes. No, I can tell you, Anna, that the body was in the bathtub when police got there and when he found it.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I was actually on my way home that evening from work. Drew pulled up next to me in the police car. It so happened that we were on the same street, and he asked me to go to the house within the next 10 to 15 minutes. He said he was trying to drop off the kids for, like, the last day-and-a-half, and she wasn`t answering the door. And that wasn`t like Kathy not to do. If he was a couple of minutes late, she would, you know, be right on the phone with the police department.

He said he was trying to drop off the kids for, like, the last day-and-a-half, and she wasn`t answering the door. ????

Didn't the autopsy say Ms Savio was dead for approximately only 6 hours? How could her hair remain 'wet' and her fingers 'pruny' for 36 hours.

Looks like a huge inconsistence to me. In my opinion Drew's whereabout for the 36 hours he indicates need to be throughly examined. He provided a clue himself.

So the Grand Jury summoned "Steve" but he didn't get on the stand.  They reserved the right to call him at a later date.  I would think what he had to say VERY important.

How can a person drown with their head above the water level of a tub?  I would like to know her EXACT position in that tub as it has never been really clear to me the exact positioning.

Rob,

I hope Dr Baden is able to make some sort of determination in his autopsy.  He mentioned on TV that she had lividity in her upper chest which would not be consistent with sitting up in tub nor even fetal position.

But even if ruled a homicide, still a long way from proving who did it.  Interesting it happened post divorce but before their finances were divided.

How convenient!

Indeedee Girl.. you're so right. DP has a motive tree sprouting up. It's impossible to know EXACTLY which motive could be the catalyst at this point imo...confusion sometimes helps a suspect as no clear motive exists...but a hodge podge of motives if you will. If he is ever charged in the case, I believe the prosecutor will need a clear understanding of his motives to get a conviction.

I would not be surprised if the new autopsy preformed by Baden yielded no results. I believe even I heard him mention that... or it could have been another coroner..A cracked skull might not even be definitive unless it could be traced to a implement.

someone posted where did he put the body? :2doh:

I was thinking why aren't they searching his house?
One of the news guys toured his home and said his basement was really creepy.
Some murderers  put bodies there.  Well???

I was thinking that if he did murder KS - I believe he did - that he did it at her home.  So maybe he would do the same with SP and hide it in the basement.
I  know he belonged to the K9 unit some neighbor had said at one time, so he would know how to cover  up all the clues. :silent:

also, since he is in the house, it may be right in front of their noses, but he supposedly restricted the tour of his home, remember.

also, why haven't we heard anything about where he was the day SP disappeared???

An implement like a policeman's night stick?

Baden seemed encouraged last night I thought on Greta.  The Coroner is allowing him to use his complete autopsy facilities as he can no longer take his own instruments on flights, etc.

Perhaps there will be something like microscopic traces of stain used on night stick, etc. that could provide some clue.

Yes, circumstantial is always tough.

That *would* be a good choice... good thinking.

But as far as motive - an affair might not be good enough. He cheats on wife # 2 with Ms Savio and wife #2 is not dead. That shoots down a new woman as a likely reason and a jury will quickly recognize that.

This is going to have to be a financial motive imo. DP *claims* he spoils SP. That's not going to look to good.

If you love your wife and children - a bit of spoiling is not bad... in-fact could prove you sacrifice so they may have.

On the autopsy - I think we are all going to have to accept these results one way or the other.

Can't deny pension to Peterson: board; Suspect in wife's disappearance has right to retire from police, attorney for trustees says
 
Dan Rozek and Joe Hosey, The Chicago Sun-Times
 

His wife is missing but his $72,000-a-year pension is safe.

Despite being named a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife, former Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson on Thursday was granted his full, $6,067.71-a-month police pension.

Three days after Peterson submitted his resignation, the police pension board voted 5-0 to authorize the retirement benefits -- with trustees saying they had no choice but to approve the payments for the 30-year department veteran.

The pension board "has no statutory authority to withhold, delay or deny Sgt. Peterson the benefits which he has earned," trustees said in a written statement. By law, Peterson can lose his pension only if convicted of a felony related to his job as a police officer, trustees said.

"I'm not comfortable with the decision we have to make today," Trustee Alyssia Lee acknowledged before the vote. "I have to uphold the law."

The pension board's approval came as police, family members and volunteers continued searching for 23-year-old Stacy Peterson, a Bolingbrook mother who vanished on Oct. 28.

Last week, Illinois State Police investigators called 53-year-old Drew Peterson a suspect in his wife's disappearance, which they labeled a "potential homicide."

On Tuesday, investigators exhumed the body of Drew Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, to conduct tests aimed at determining if her 2004 bathtub death was a murder or an accident.

During a nationally televised interview, Peterson on Wednesday denied any involvement in Stacy Peterson's disappearance or Savio's death. He also pleaded with attorneys to step forward to represent him if he is charged in either case.

Peterson's TV appeal for legal help, however, has cost him one of the two attorneys who had already agreed to represent him.

Lawyer Gary V. Johnson, who had accompanied Peterson to his Nov. 7 grand jury appearance, has dropped Peterson as a client because of the TV appearance, a source close to the case said. It's unclear if Peterson's other attorney, Fred Morelli, will continue to represent him. Morelli couldn't be reached for comment.

Despite the pension vote, Bolingbrook Police Chief Ray McGury said he still hasn't accepted Drew Peterson's resignation. He wants Peterson to face departmental disciplinary hearings for alleged misconduct that isn't related to the ongoing criminal investigations.

But pension board attorney Richard Reimer said Peterson has the right to retire.

"There's no authorization to stop a retirement," Reimer said Thursday.

Bolingbrook's police and fire commission likely will decide that issue when it meets next week.

Joe Hosey is a reporter with the Herald News.

Greta,

I just found out that Paul Peterson was a licensed locksmith in IL his license expired in 2002. I bet that’s one of the reasons that Paul Peterson was Called in front of The Grand Jury! Just because his license was expired dosen’t mean he didn’t help out his brother Drew!

Paul Peterson’s license can be checked out at http://www.idfpr.com then click on professional regulation license look up one there select locksmith the put in the last name in then the first initial.

Then you will get the record

Dr Baden Update
by Greta Van Susteren

It is now 3;13 central time and Dr Baden - I was just told - is still doing the autopsy on Kathleen Savio. He started at 1;19 central…I have no idea how much longer he will be doing the autopsy …

no land line call or cellphone call from Stacy’s cell phone was made to Drew - Wow, I did NOT know that one! AMW guy calling it a big fat lie that Drew told about receiving call from Stacy.


And they are just now finding this out or how long have they known this info?  I think this should've been one of the first things they did, checking the phone records.  Not that I am surprised in any way.  I know he is lying.  I can feel it.

snipped
I hope they will look into the death of DP's former girlfriend Monica's brother who didn't like DP and ended up being found hanging in his garage and DP was the one who found him.  If this is a true story, someone needs to check out this death also! :silent:
I agreed with the psychologist that DP was disconnected in his interview - unfeeling and cold and showed no upset and confusion of his supposed story that his wife walked out on him.
Of the fact he spied on SP constantly, yet has no idea who she left with.
The story is bogus about her leaving with another man.
Quote

Welcome Ali!


I totally agree with this.  I wonder what this girlfriend and family are thinking now.  Something is just a little to coincidental along when you add all the other missing/dead people in DP's life.  They need to check it out, but not sure if they could prove anything from a hanging, unless he killed him in another way, then hung him.  But is should be checked!

There will be a search effort tomorrow beginning at 8:00 AM. Participants and volunteers are asked to meet at the Country Inn Suites in Bolingbrook.

A candlelight vigil will be held beginning at 4 PM at Kathleen Savio’s home at 392 Pheasant Chase Drive in Bolingbrook, then we will walk to Stacy’s home at 6 Pheasant Chase Court, Bolingbrook.

Volunteers are needed for the search as well as to tie ribbons and arrange the candles for the vigil

Thanks - I see she hasn't been updating, but did add a disclaimer to her comments section. Wonder if that has something to do with a minor comment I left she didn't post. LMAO!

The woman lets anything go through and I had to say something.... I prolly should have known better.

Ok - now on to the homicide.

What if Baden and the county coroner come to a differing conclusion? What then? And what if DP has an alibi (not that I think he does)...but how are they going to link him to this alleged crime? Any ideas?

He could have motive, but does he have opportunity?

Another thing, if they don't find Stacy soon, it will not be until next spring when the weather gets better. Or a hunter stumbles over her - which I doubt...she's hidden very very well in my opinion.

the tox report didn't indicate anything unusual. Maybe they didn't screen for a specific poison???

I saw no drugs in her system.

It's just a gut feeling, but Drew's cockiness tells me that he's been particularly shrewd in hiding her remains. The noose is tightening fast around the SOB's neck right now, and I hope the kids are safe.

Drew is a suspect. Does anyone know what they actually have on him? other then suspicion of-course. There must be something and he keeps going on TV, and one of his attorneys have split . . . He sure doesn't seem to be sweating it.

With Scott Peterson, he never helped search and jogged and played golf -> all highly suspicious...With DP -> he says no reason to search - she left with another man.

This looks like all the need is a body because they have 'other' evidence - I'm curious. Like always. LOL....of course a body is always needed, but this case looks like it could go forward without a body.

His alleged phone call from Stacy is not adding up . . but beyond that - what do the LE have?? any ideas?

I don't know what they have, Rob, but I certainly agree with you, he doesn't seem to be sweating it at all. He's arrogant and confident. That brand of confidence reminds me of Joran, after it was well established that ALE or the "powers that be" were there to make sure the truth would be hidden. There's a feeling to this, IMO of a good ole' boy network within the police force, and I believe that Drew is not the only one that knows exactly what befell Stacey and where she is. JMHO

By the way, it's bad form to keep that avi in this thread!  :lol:  :wink:

Dr. Baden said Kathleen's head could have been pushed down in the water of a much stronger person which would show no bruises.

He said he doesn't think there is any possibility that this was an accident.

He said the autopsy tells you what happened and the police tell you who done it.

Drunk or Drugs were ruled out.  He said what should be looked at are certain poisons.

Dr. Baden said there were bruises on her hands like she was fighting off somebody.

New member with a few comments....
Wife #2 may not have challenged DP in anyway and may have been happy to just get out with her life (or her daughters) so left with no mutual assets ..... and she didn't stand to get child support or alimony so..... no ongoing drain on DP's income and he already had #3 in his pocket so to speak.
As far as SP being in his house, that is an interesting comment.  His being so controlling and worried about money, the new in thing is to have a secret room buit into your house as a "safe" room.  Its very possible that he may have done this.  I wonder just how well LE searched his house, if they actually searched it? 
His being so confident makes me wonder about hiding spots around BB.  Since he's a long time resident and I'm sure on good terms with the public works department, etc. maybe he's aware of even more remote, unlikely spots to hide/bury a body.  In the past, BB did not allow construction past 10/31 on roadways so most projects have to be completed by that date.  Perhaps he used that to his advantage and buried the body under a newly paved roadway?  On the west edge of town (within minutes) they are reconstructing a road and there was heavy construction there a short time ago and I believe still ongoing being a joint venture so . . . as well as other areas of town.
Just my thoughts.

Yep, Dr. Baden said it was a homicide. There was a lot of water in the casket which made the autopsy more challenging. It makes me furious that ANY family is sold arrangements to lay a loved one to rest with assurances that their remains are well protected and in those horrific instances that dictate an exhumation, it's discovered that things weren't sealed properly. How would anyone know? Regardless of the outcome of this, and I know it's not the priority for that poor family, but I wish they'd sue the crap out those responsible for the leakage. On behalf of all of us that are so vulnerable to being shistered, I hope they make a break the bank!

Steve Carcerano said Drew has been very calm.  He lived two doors down from Kathleen.  He is saying Kathleen had a boyfriend at the time of her death and they were dating about a year and a half.  He said Drew had already called the locksmith.  He said he is not surprised by what Dr. Baden said.  Greta asked him was she a well liked neighbor and Steve said absolutely.  Drew Peterson granted full $72,000 per year police pension.

Welcome doubtingthomas.  I agree the reason why wife #2 survived is because she wasn't entitled to anything and she was just happy to get out of the situation with her life.

If there was one person who would know spots to bury someone it would be DP especially if he was planning it.  Drew was the commander of the neighborhood watch.  I also believe he had help and the police know this.

Possibilities -

1. Drew Peterson has murdered Ms Savio.
2. Someone unknown has murdered Ms Savio, completely unrelated to Drew Peterson.
3. Someone unknown has murdered Ms Savio because of something Drew Peterson did -> revenge or vengeance.
4. Someone unknown to all parties has murdered Ms Savio and is still on the loose.
5. A friend of Drew Peterson has murdered Ms Savio on the orders of Drew Peterson.
6. A friend of Drew Peterson has murdered Ms Savio without the knowledge of Drew Peterson.
7. A neighbor saw that Ms Savio was alone and took the opportunity to murder Ms Savio.


Observation -

1. The original coroner made a mistake in the case of Ms Savio and could have cost another person their life.
2. The original coroner made a mistake and others could have had the same critical flaw occur in their case.
3. The original coroner could have made a mistake intentionally to protect Drew Peterson.
4. The original coroner and crime scene technicians made critical errors in the crime scene investigation.
5. If the crime scene investigators made the possible mistakes - they could may overlooked evidence either to implicate or exonerate Drew Peterson.

Just thought of something - has anyone ever seen a police department act with such disregard for the deceased / murdered wife or ex-wife of a colleague before?

That alone is shocking.

When a cop is killed in the line of duty they go ape sh*t. And when a relative is killed / murdered (even if it is not clear) they do whatever it takes to get to the bottom of it immediately. No stone is left unturned.

In this case - it seems they couldn't get Ms Savio in the ground fast enough.

Well, he did already have a child with his then underaged girlfriend, right? 

Apparently DP did routinely threaten the life of each of his wives, even the #2 as he told her he could kill her and make it look like an accident.

My EvilX does not like to pay alimony.  Maybe I should watch it!   :shock:  He once told me he could kill me with curare and no one in this country would even know to look for it.

Hey San - in the autopsy report did you see a rape kit diagnostic? I don't recall seeing that. I could have skipped over it or just forgot it was included.

Another point - Drew Peterson gives a huge clue when he does not go into the bathroom where Ms Savio is found. He sure doesn't want his DNA or prints in that area for a reason.

I know he said he didn't go in because he didn't want to be accused of stealing anything - but what cop is accused of that?  and with all the crap he was getting away with anyway - why would that be an issue if dating a 17 year old wasn't?

Drew Peterson is trying to sanitize his possible involvement in the case and in the location of her death.

A question that I have is why, if DP couldn't reach KP in how many days to return the kids, didn't he involve his own PD?  Why call a locksmith after how many days?  I would have thought that'd be a smarter move to cya.  Arrogance perhpas?  I mean, what he did seems so rehearsed and narrated.
Also mentioned on gretawire and topix were a couple comments about the red-light cameras being taken offline/suspended right after SP went missing.  Some say they only activate (flash & click picture) when a red is run, but I don't think that is 100% accurate.  Would they not be in standby mode when the light turns yellow and start taping so that they would be sure to catch the entire violation?  Yes, they might flash when the red is run but I would think they starting taping sooner.  One of the posters said that these pictures are all reviewed by traffic officiers before the ticket is actually sent to the offender so is it possible they saw him in his vehicle at the wrong place and time?  And yes, if you're thinking clearly you could probably avoid them but...can't help wondering.

I agree DP was keeping away from the bedroom for a reason.  He setup her neighbor a made him go in the house to look.

I think they should do some investigating of the  boyfriend who "hung" himself in his garage  at the time his sister was dating DP.  He did NOT like his sister Monika dating him.  And wouldn't ya know, but who's the first cop on the scene to find him.  DP!    I wonder if his family wonders about it or what they think.  I just find it a little to coincidnetal, wherever DP is, and things aren't going the way he wants, people end up dead/missing.   I really think they should check it out.

Also,  if anybody DID help DP,  I think it's that Steve friend who keeps on defending him.  His poor friend Rick finally came around to his senses, I feel sorry for him, but at least he's man enough to admit, but HE's even afraid for HIS life!

Anna,  the good 'ol boys were the problem during Kathleens death.  I think the ISP are going head first and are working there hardest to solve this, now, which is why the BB PD aren't working it.  They don't have a choice anyways with the media all over and now Dr. Baden's autopsy.  (It ain't Aruba anymore) I understand Dr. B did this pro bono for them, because he got to know them personally and felt the urge to get to the truth for them.

BTW - WELCOME DOUBTINGTHOMAS!

I agree Dihannah.  The family of the ex girlfriend should request an investigation on the death of their son.

Steve is getting on my last nerve.  He is defending him a little too much.  He is all of a sudden best friends with Drew.  Why?  I also believe DP brother is very involved.

Yes, I agree about the brother of his girlfriend Monika.  It does seem mightly strange that he just decides to hang himself after stating his opinion of DP.  I also can't understand how the BPD could just ignore the fact their married officier (I'm assuming he was a sergant then) was dating a young SP who was 16/17 at the time.  That should have sent up red flags considering KP's many reports of abuse, etc. Makes one wonder what else the BPD looked the other way on too for DP. 
I also wonder if other governmental agencies are involved in the search/investigation.
Thanks all for the welcome.

Welcome, Doubting,

I am trying to get this straight in my mind.  DP was married to Kathleen but having an affair with underaged Stacey.  Kathleen files for divorce.  Divorce is granted and 7 days later DP and Stacey are married and they already have a little boy several months old.

Then how long was it until Kathleen was found dead?  I know it was after the divorce was granted but before any agreement or ruling on division of assets.

DoubtingThomas,  I know it's been mentioned on Greta's show before.  If I remember correctly, his boss (don't know DP position at that time), asked his boss about it and somehow they said it was ok.  In otherwords, he ACTUALLY got there blessings though they were not thrilled about it.

Makes me think of that 17 yr old boy who went to prison for sex with a 15 yr. old and did 10 yrs.  Just recently got out!   They were BOTH underage. But it's ok for a 47 yr old man to date a 17 yr. old, get her pregnant while still married to Kathleen?  DP was older than her own father and stepkids who were older than her! Now to me THAT is statutory rape.  But seems DP could do no wrong and can get away with ANYTHING!  Until now, HOPEFULLY!

Anna, I'm a little confused with that exact timeframe too, but his 2nd marriage ended during his affair with Kathleen and I'm not sure when Monika (who's brother hung himself over them) was in the picture.  I heard today him and 2nd wife were married from 1982 to 1992, or wait, was that first wife.  Heck I can't keep track other than, his pattern is to get married, have an affair, leave the current wife for girlfriend, over and over, until he decided to kill 3rd wife and 4th comes up missing.  He makes Scott Peterson look like a saint!

Thanks, Dihannah,

I guess more will be known as the investigation progresses.  I did get the impression from Dr Baden tonight that he still has some things to look over in regard to the previous autopsy of Kathleen Savio.

It has crossed my mind that maybe DP told Stacey something about what happened to Kathleen and later came to regret it.  She was trying to leave him and that is always the most dangerous time.  Dr B said he was going to see the actual tub if the people living there now will allow him to do so.  He is very good at what he does.

My EvilX does not like to pay alimony.  Maybe I should watch it!     He once told me he could kill me with curare and no one in this country would even know to look for it. 

.OMG Anna - I am hoping you are not talking about your ex.  Please tell me no.
I had an abusive first time and now have a best friend/husband, but lived in fear for so long.  Do take care.
:-|

He told wife #2 that he could kill her and make it look like an accident.  I believe DP has killed way before wife #2.  I don't know when his ex girlfriend's brother was found dead.  Was it after wife #2 or before.  I would be looking into even more unsolved murders.

San - this is like crimelibrary stories of those people no one suspects until someone realizes that everyone around them is dying.

- Did Stacy's Mom disappear before she met Drew?
I thought she did.  Otherwise . . .
- Then the girlfriend, Monika, had a brother who disapproved of Drew found hanged and it was Drew who found him.  (not sure either if it was before or after wife #2)
- Then KS wife #3 found dead
- Then "poof" no more SP wife #4
(I thought there was one more??)

So maybe other disappearances who were found by him or other.
How about investigation by outside agency into the missing  persons and deaths not solved in DP  jurisdiction????? :-x

Also, I agree that KS could have been killed by DP associate, but don't believe an unknown to Drew - especially with all the threats he gave and especially with the timing of being before finances were figured. :-?

I've said this before, but I feel so bad for Stacy, whether she knew something about Kathleens murder or not.  She was only a child in my mind when she met Drew.  She did have an alcoholic/abusive father and a mother who left when whe was 15.  She was so young, vulnerable and naive.  She had a stepmother who cared and tried, but can only do so much at some point.  That Asshole took advantage of a young and naive girl.   Only when she grew up and matured, did she realize what she got herself into and actually tried to get away, with small children in the picture.    I'm sure the fear was even greater IF she knew anything about Kathleens death.  However, I don't think Drew was stupid enough to have faith in such a young girl to keep her mouth shut, so my guess, is she doesn't know about the "murder", just truly believed it was an accident.

I have 2 daughters close to Stacy's age, and I can't even begin to imagine what the families are going through.  I would have been kicking my daughter's all the way home if they hooked up with such an older and shady man.   Of course that's easier said than done, especially at 17......

Dihannah1 -

Yes - she was sooo young and vulnerable and naive.
He was experienced and wooed her - young girls love attention - so much as to be blinded!
Also, I am sure he brainwashed her that KS was a terrible person - remember they say he keeps protraying himself like the victim.

I do not think she knew of KS murder.  She looks happy and relaxed in what I believe are the earlier pics and with the story I see and hear about her - can't believe it.  Also, Drew didn't seem one to confide in his wives - he had such secret lives with each one with other stuff on the side.
I saw a downloaded video from FOX of interview of Cassandra, SP's sister, and the pics of SP with Cassandra are really cute - of two sisters who are such good friends.
Cassandra seemed so despairing, in anguish, and heartbroken in the interview after SP went missing.
It was very much what you would expect of a family member.
exactly the opposite behavior of DP tape I saw of his interview.

She said SP told her she was getting a divorce and Cassandra was the one who said I am scared for you.  Then Cassandra said Stacy leaned over and whispered that she was scared for her life (- so I guess they were in a room in SP house).
She said SP talked about getting the children out safe.  Cassandra said she left and they texted each other.  Cassandra was going to come back Saturday? just to be with SP.  Then she disappeared.  Something like that - my sound was off, so that is what I got out of it.

From the Chicago Sun

The story of Drew's first wife

November 16, 2007
BY KARA SPAK Staff Reporter
Dave Brown has Drew Peterson, in part, to thank for a fantastic 26-year marriage.

“I’m so glad Drew let her go,” Brown said of his wife, Carol, who was married to Peterson from 1974 to 1980. “She’s the most leveled-headed and good-looking person on the planet.”

Carol Brown, now 50, was the first wife of Peterson, the former Bolingbrook police sergeant named a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife.

Carol Brown was the first wife of Drew Peterson (inset). They graduated from Willowbrook High School in Villa Park and married while she was still a teenager.

Attention has turned to Peterson’s first two wives after Stacy Peterson vanished Oct. 28 and the body of Peterson’s third wife, Kathleen Savio, was exhumed Tuesday. Authorities are taking a new look at her 2004 death, initially ruled an accidental bathtub drowning.
In a published report, Peterson’s second wife, Vicki Connolly, said Peterson had struck her when they were married and told her he could kill her and make it look like an accident. Peterson denied that Friday, saying, “Vicki is just mad because I cheated on her.”

Carol Brown’s husband does not allege Peterson abused Carol Brown during their marriage. “Drew did not physically abuse her,” Dave Brown said Friday.

Carol Brown divorced Peterson, though, because he cheated on her — with a woman who wasn’t Vicki Connolly, Dave Brown said.

State Police interviewed Carol and Dave Brown on Thursday night, asking them if they thought Peterson was capable of harming somebody. The Browns were told not to discuss the interview.

Carol Brown declined to be interviewed. She is worried about the effect it would have on her children with Peterson — Eric and Steve — as well as on her relationship with business clients.

Peterson, Carol Brown and Dave Brown are all graduates of Willowbrook High School in Villa Park, where Peterson ran cross country. Peterson and Dave Brown graduated in the 750-member class of 1972. Carol Brown is three years their junior.

Dave Brown, 53, a remodeling contractor, has known Peterson since junior high, when both were in accelerated classes together. They weren’t close but did play tennis together after high school.

The two both noticed a young Carol when she was a freshman at Willowbrook and they were seniors. “She was the prettiest girl in the freshman class,” Dave Brown said. “She’d look at you, and you’d think ‘wow.’ ”

Peterson joined the Army after high school and married Carol when he was 20 years old. They lived for a while in Virginia, where he was stationed to get military police training. “He always wanted to be a cop,” Dave Brown said.

The Petersons moved back to Illinois in the mid-1970s. Dave Brown, at the time, was attending the University of Illinois and driving back to Villa Park on weekends to work as a bouncer at a bar called 10,000 Horses (now known as DiMito Time). “The place was packed,” Dave Brown said. “It was the best singles bar around.”

Peterson would stop by, sporting long hair as part of his look as an undercover cop. “He would come in and just hang out to see friends,” Dave Brown said.

A year after Carol and Drew Peterson divorced, she married Brown. The two raised Eric and Steve Peterson and had a child of their own, Lauren, now 23.

Peterson regularly paid child support, and either he or his second wife, Connolly, would pick up the boys for regular weekend visits. Aside from normal family hiccups, everyone got along, Dave Brown said.

“I never competed with Drew to be a dad,” Dave Brown said. “I was a stepdad. They knew that. They were loyal to their father. And that was fine with me.”

When the boys moved out of the house, the Browns saw Peterson less. They never met his third wife, Savio, but met Stacy Peterson a few times. She is more than five years younger than Peterson’s sons with Carol Brown.

“She’s a kid,” Dave Brown said. “A lot of middle-age guys act like that’s a dream. I think they’re nuts.”

The last time Dave Brown saw Peterson was at his son Steve Peterson’s wedding in August. Since the disappearance of Stacy, the Browns have been flooded with calls from the media and old friends.

“We talk all the time about it,” he said, but declined to say if they think Peterson had any role in Stacy’s disappearance or Savio’s death.

Dave Brown said Eric Peterson hates the attention with “people banging on his door.” Steve Peterson has been on vacation out of the country.

Vicki Connolly, who was married to Peterson for 10 years beginning in 1982, said in a published report that Peterson took steps to control her, including placing recording devices in their home. He would hit her and play mind games on her. The two divorced after Peterson and Savio began an affair.

Connolly’s adult daughter, Lisa Ward, who lived with Connolly and Peterson when she was a child, told reporters Friday she feels lucky that her mom made it out of the marriage alive.

“Of course,” Ward said. “My mom is a very strong woman for being able to.”

Peterson dismissed Ward’s comment on Friday, as well.

“Lisa’s mad because I'm a strong disciplinarian,” said Peterson.

The man Stacy went to in trying time
ROSSETTO |

November 17, 2007
BY JOE HOSEY AND JANET LUNDQUIST Herald News
 
Investigators in the disappearance of Stacy Peterson have turned an eye to a Shorewood man from her past she reached out to just three weeks before she vanished.

Searches have been conducted in the area around the home of 35-year-old Scott Rossetto, and authorities have called him before a grand jury this week, he said.

A police source, however, said investigators do not count him as a suspect in Peterson's disappearance. Instead, the source said investigators have speculated that Peterson's body may have been dumped near Rossetto's home in an effort to frame him as the killer.

A police source said Rossetto and Peterson, 23, were romantically involved, but Rossetto insisted they were not. He said he only knew her because his brother and a friend had dated Peterson years ago, before she married former Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson.

Rossetto said he had not heard from Stacy Peterson in years when she called him last month.

"All of a sudden she called me once out of the blue about three weeks before she disappeared," Rossetto said. "That was the first contact in six years I had with her. She said she was just going through some stuff and just found my phone number."

Rossetto declined to discuss his recent conversation with Stacy Peterson, saying, "I can't tell you anything." He also refused to say whether she spoke of any trouble in her life.

The two exchanged messages, but never made plans to meet, he said. "We were friends," Rossetto said. "We talked every once in a while. But that's it." Police tracked down Rossetto through phone and text messages.

State Police have branded Drew Peterson a suspect in the disappearance of Stacy Peterson, his fourth wife. And authorities exhumed the body of his third wife last week to see if she really drowned in her bathtub as initially believed.

The suspicions swirling around Drew Peterson, 53, have not frightened Rossetto.

"Let him [try to get me]. I don't give a crap," Rossetto said. "Why would I be afraid of Drew? What is he going to possibly do to me? He's more than welcome to try busting into my house."

Rossetto said he was not tempted to indulge in an affair with Stacy Peterson.

"No. I didn't want any baggage," he said. "Sorry, she had a lot. She was married to a Bolingbrook cop and could've made my life miserable. I wasn't risking it. And I knew Drew well enough to know to stay away from her."

Rossetto said he didn't know that police are looking at him as a lover of Stacy Peterson's.

"I'm sure Drew probably thinks that, but I could care less about what Drew thinks," he said.

Drew Peterson said Friday he knows little about Rossetto -- but he knows of him.

"I heard of him," Drew Peterson said, but added that he had "no idea" how long the Shorewood man may have been involved with his wife.

"The police are looking into it," Drew Peterson said of the connection between Stacy Peterson and Rossetto, although he would not elaborate. He said police have not approached him about Rossetto.

Rossetto said he met Drew Peterson only once. Asked if Stacy Peterson was afraid of her husband, Rossetto said, "I'm not confirming that."

Rossetto said his brother dated Stacy Peterson for about two months years ago and they broke up when he left for the Army. "When my brother left for the military she started dating Drew and we haven't seen her since because he cut off all ties with us," he said.

Drew Peterson has repeatedly said he feels Stacy Peterson abandoned their family and likely ran off with another man. He recently appeared before a grand jury, as did his brother, Paul Peterson.

Drew Peterson, who in the last week traveled to New York City to appear on a national talk show, said the daily grind of police and media scrutiny is wearing on him.

"I'm just tired," Drew Peterson said. "It wears on you, you know?"

As soon as I read this it popped in my mind that DP could have possibly buried Stacy near his home. I wonder how far away he lives from DP.

This guy could care less what Drew Peterson thinks of him.

Need for control drove Peterson, families say
By Erika Slife, Josh Noel and Gerry Smith

Tribune staff reporters

November 18, 2007

Whether Drew Peterson was sitting in his squad car watching her as she left the mall or calling her eight times while she got a haircut, Stacy Peterson was accustomed to being the main object of her husband's attention, her family and friends say.

Ultimately, though, Peterson, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant, had a need to control his wife that got to be too much, they said. Last year, while her sister Tina was dying of cancer, Stacy would stay at her home, sometimes for long stretches. One day, Drew showed up unannounced to see if she was cheating on him, her sister Cassandra Cales said.

"That's when she said, 'You know, I can't do this anymore,' " Cales said.

Stacy, 23, told her husband she wanted a divorce days before she disappeared Oct. 28, her loved ones say. Peterson, 53, says she ran away with another man. He has not been charged with a crime, but police labeled him a suspect in the "potential homicide investigation."

The disappearance led authorities to re-examine the death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, 40, who was found dead in a dry bathtub in 2004. A coroner's jury ruled the death accidental, but officials—and an expert brought in by the Savio family—now suspect it may have been staged as an accident. Her body was exhumed Tuesday.

Peterson has denied involvement in the death of Kathleen and the disappearance of Stacy.

The portrait of Drew Peterson that has emerged from scores of interviews is of a charming man who stops at nothing to win the hearts of the women he desires. In an interview published in the Tribune on Friday, his second wife, Vicki Connolly, spoke of the extremes she experienced with Peterson: wonderful at times, and "really bad" at others, including threats on her life.

As each marriage wore on, Peterson became increasingly controlling and suspicious—even though he was the one who was already onto his next affair, according to relatives and his second wife. And as Peterson got older, the age gap between he and his wives grew.

His first wife was just three years younger than Peterson. When he was a senior at Willowbrook High School in Villa Park, Peterson began dating a freshman, Carol Hamilton. Three years later, the two married and moved to Falls Church, Va., where he was stationed in the Army.

Now remarried, she declined to be interviewed, but her husband, David Brown, said Peterson never threatened her physically during their four-year marriage. He was, however, "very controlling."

"If she wanted to go out on her own, he wouldn't like that," said Brown, who has known Drew since they were kids.

The couple moved to Bolingbrook, where Brown would see Peterson at a bar. Peterson, he said, had hair down to the middle of his back and told people he was working undercover.

While Carol was pregnant with their second child, she discovered he was cheating on her.

"When she found out he had a girlfriend and confronted him with it, he didn't want to get rid of the girlfriend," Brown said. "There were some problems before they had kids, but once they had kids is when things really went downhill."

The couple divorced amicably in 1978.


In 1982, Peterson married second wife Victoria O'Neil, who was 23 at the time. He was 28. They met at a Bolingbrook bar.

Vicki had a daughter, Lisa, from a previous relationship, and she said Peterson's desire to have Lisa call him "Dad" was nearly obsessive. Lisa's real father was not welcome in the home, Vicki said.

"[lisa's father] didn't fit into our little realm," Vicki said. "It took a lot of years for me to see that. In Drew's eyes, I was in his world and he didn't want any interference."

He said he preferred Vicki and Lisa remain at home, where he knew they were safe, she said. That left time for his career—and multiple affairs, she later learned.

Peterson performed his job with fervor, but landed in trouble in 1985. The police commission found him guilty of official misconduct, disobedience, failure to report a bribe and self-assigned police action. The trouble forced the couple to sell their home and move in with his parents, Vicki said. But in 1986, he was reinstated after a judge overruled the commission.

Vicki decided to leave Drew, mostly because of his affairs.The divorce was amicable, Vicki recalled, because Drew was already involved with the woman who would become his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

Kathleen didn't know Peterson was still married when she started dating him, her brother, Henry Savio, said. "He told my sister that he wasn't married and that he didn't have any kids when he met her," he said.

Kathleen, or Kitty as she was known to relatives, was around 28 at the time, working as an accountant and looking to get married, her brother said. They met through a friend, and Savio said Peterson, about 10 years older than his sister, swept her off her feet.

"He's a charmer," he said.

The couple married in 1992 and had two boys. Throughout the 10-year marriage, Savio said he never felt comfortable about it.

"I was kind of on my guard all the time," Savio said. "[Peterson and the kids] would do crazy stuff with my sister. They had a staircase at my sister's house. They would tie her up and roll her down the stairs. It was the big joke of theirs. I would say, 'What's wrong with you? Why would you let them do that stuff? There's no respect.' She would say, 'It's fine.' "

Don Bolger was a reserve police officer and neighbor. Bolger, 68, said Peterson was a "businesslike and professional" cop and a friendly neighbor who seemed to get along with his wife. He insisted that his boys call Bolger "Mr. Don."

"He's a good guy, and they seemed like very happy people," Bolger said. "Kathy was very pleasant and a very good mom."

Steve Carcerano, who lived two doors from Peterson and Savio, called the couple "great neighbors." He said Peterson was always quick to lend a tool or help unclog pipes.

But the marriage disintegrated. Medical records and letters obtained from Savio's relatives outline a pattern of alleged abuse and frustration with inaction by Bolingbrook police.

Carcerano, who would discover Kathleen's body in the tub, said the abuse may have gone both ways. Twice after their separation, he said, he saw Savio lash out at Peterson and Drew respond with restraint.

Once, Carcerano said he helped Peterson move out of the home he shared with Savio. She became angry and smacked Drew in the face with an extension cord, then spit on him, he said. "He laughed it off and said, 'You see what she's doing?' "

Drew was still married to Kathleen when he met Stacy Cales. She was just a teenager—her sister, Cassandra, says she was 16—when she met Drew. Stacy was working at SpringHill Suites hotel. Drew was night commander, and his partner was dating a woman who worked there. Drew started hitting on Stacy.

Cassandra said Drew was still living with Kathleen but was sleeping in the basement. Stacy would sneak in and spend the night, she said.

Peterson's need to be in control kicked in even before the two married, said her close friend, Sherrie Mills, who used to be married to one of Stacy's cousins.

Mills and her husband, Eddie, hired Stacy to work at their flooring company in 2001. After three or four months on the job, Mills said Peterson made an unusual request. "He was drinking with Eddie one night and told him, 'You need to fire her, but don't let her know that I told you to fire her,' " Mills said.

Despite Sherrie's protests, Eddie did it. Mills believed it was because Peterson wanted her reliant on him. "To me, it was because he didn't want her having money or independence," she said.

They married in October 2003, and unlike his previous wives, Stacy never worried about Drew cheating because he seemed so keenly focused on her.

Cassandra said Stacy told her that she feared for her life the Friday before she disappeared. In a whisper, she told her sister that if she disappeared, Drew killed her. She whispered because she was afraid he had bugged the house.

The night Stacy disappeared, Cales said Peterson told her: "I will not let her divorce me."

In August, Carol Brown, his first wife, saw Drew for the first time in years at the wedding of their younger son. Peterson told a story about placing his gun on a desk to intimidate "some union guys" who came into his printing shop, Brown said."He was acting like Mr. Tough Guy at the wedding, and I don't remember him being like that," he said.

My Conversation Today With Drew Peterson
by Jamie Colby

While the media remains camped out outside Drew Peterson’s Bolingbrook, Illinois home he is inside and so are his and Stacy’s children. Drew is screening calls but took mine late this afternoon after I started to leave a voicemail. It sounded like the kids were playing in the background. It’s been reported Drew has told them Stacy is on a vacation.

I’m surprised we aren’t talking more about how these four young children are doing. “The media is making it really tough on my kids” Drew told me today. “Are they back in school?” I asked. “Yes” he says “I wouldn’t keep that from them”. I’m told that Drew’s oldest, about to turn 15, is very smart and hasn’t missed a day of classes since Stacy vanished. Stacy and Drew have a 2 and 4 year old but Stacy also adopted two of Drew’s older children….two boys he had with Kathleen Savio.

I’m sure the media outside the Peterson home is disruptive to the children and I don’t know if the older ones know why the trucks, reporters and lights are there. The early morning I was outside we saw Drew’s son leave for school but we did not shoot him with our cameras.  He is a teenager who has one Mom who died in 2004 and now another missing three years later.  We also did not show the younger children the day they were carried out when the police arrived to execute their search warrant.  It’s unclear if any of them know anything about what happened to Kathleen Savio or Stacy Peterson but that is for the police, not news crews to find out in our judgment.

Drew said he would be on the show tomorrow (Drew’s Mom was on last week and you can listen to that interview in a post below) and I hope he will keep his word.  If Drew does do the interview it will be on when I anchor Fox News Live 12 noon eastern on the Fox News Channel. 

Drew confirmed to me that as a result of his resignation from the police department he will keep his pension and he told me he is interviewing and deciding on attorneys who will represent him as developments into the investigation of Stacy’s disappearance and Kathleen Savio’s death progress.  Though he has not been charged with any crime he told me today he “wants to be prepared”.

In the meantime, Drew and his four children (two older ones live in other towns) are inside their house tonight…a house from my tour inside clearly designed to meet the kids every need. Every inch designed Drew proudly told me weeks ago when he took me room to room…by Stacy.

Can somebody please tell me if they heard what DP was doing the day SP disappeared??  Please.
It has been a few weeks but I never heard what his alibi was. :-|

Did anyone see him that day?
Did he ask anyone to watch the kids or drop them off - the little ones.
I only heard about his supposed phonecall from SP that I believe he was unable to substantiate.
Was he at work???
Did his neighbors see him?
Drive anywhere?
Anything.

I just read the FP post about Dr. Baden's findings.
How many years was this covered up for and why and by who ?
Did Stacey know Drew did it ? Did she have the goods on  him ?
Was she part of the alibi of Drew's wherabouts when Kathleen was killed ?

Hello Greta Fans!

I just wanted to pop in during our lunch break at the Hotel. The Stacy Peterson search continues. We had a generous amount of volunteers show up and come out to search. I even ran into someone who goes to school with my son who knew him…small world.

The ribbons for the vigil are being cut and tied as I write this and everyone is just sitting around trying to warm up. It’s chilly and wet out there. My dog Reilly has been working so hard and he is a wet, muddy mess right now and smearing it all over the back seat of my car! The poor thing. I’m going to bring him out a piece of sausage pizza (or maybe two) to make him feel better!

The news crews are here and a reporter followed my team to our search location, as well as other reporters keeping with the other teams. All the volunteers are so wonderful to give so much of their time to help find Stacy Peterson.

To all those who were on my team: Thank you so much for covering so much ground and for sticking to the rules! 

Greta, thank you for all the attention that you have brought to the Stacy Peterson case.

Okay, I am off to feed my puppy dog!

Bye for now.

The story of Drew's first wife

November 17, 2007
BY KARA SPAK Staff Reporter
Dave Brown has Drew Peterson, in part, to thank for a fantastic 26-year marriage.

“I’m so glad Drew let her go,” Brown said of his wife, Carol, who was married to Peterson from 1974 to 1980. “She’s the most leveled-headed and good-looking person on the planet.”

Carol Brown, now 50, was the first wife of Peterson, the former Bolingbrook police sergeant named a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife.

Attention has turned to Peterson’s first two wives after Stacy Peterson vanished Oct. 28 and the body of Peterson’s third wife, Kathleen Savio, was exhumed Tuesday. Authorities are taking a new look at her 2004 death, initially ruled an accidental bathtub drowning.

In a published report, Peterson’s second wife, Vicki Connolly, said Peterson had struck her when they were married and told her he could kill her and make it look like an accident. Peterson denied that Friday, saying, “Vicki is just mad because I cheated on her.”

Carol Brown’s husband does not allege Peterson abused Carol Brown during their marriage. “Drew did not physically abuse her,” Dave Brown said Friday.

Carol Brown divorced Peterson, though, because he cheated on her — with a woman who wasn’t Vicki Connolly, Dave Brown said.

State Police interviewed Carol and Dave Brown on Thursday night, asking them if they thought Peterson was capable of harming somebody. The Browns were told not to discuss the interview.

Carol Brown declined to be interviewed. She is worried about the effect it would have on her children with Peterson — Eric and Steve — as well as on her relationship with business clients.

Peterson, Carol Brown and Dave Brown are all graduates of Willowbrook High School in Villa Park, where Peterson ran cross country. Peterson and Dave Brown graduated in the 750-member class of 1972. Carol Brown is three years their junior.

Dave Brown, 53, a remodeling contractor, has known Peterson since junior high, when both were in accelerated classes together. They weren’t close but did play tennis together after high school.

The two both noticed a young Carol when she was a freshman at Willowbrook and they were seniors. “She was the prettiest girl in the freshman class,” Dave Brown said. “She’d look at you, and you’d think ‘wow.’ ”

Peterson joined the Army after high school and married Carol when he was 20 years old. They lived for a while in Virginia, where he was stationed to get military police training. “He always wanted to be a cop,” Dave Brown said.

The Petersons moved back to Illinois in the mid-1970s. Dave Brown, at the time, was attending the University of Illinois and driving back to Villa Park on weekends to work as a bouncer at a bar called 10,000 Horses (now known as DiMito Time). “The place was packed,” Dave Brown said. “It was the best singles bar around.”

Peterson would stop by, sporting long hair as part of his look as an undercover cop. “He would come in and just hang out to see friends,” Dave Brown said.

A year after Carol and Drew Peterson divorced, she married Brown. The two raised Eric and Steve Peterson and had a child of their own, Lauren, now 23.

Peterson regularly paid child support, and either he or his second wife, Connolly, would pick up the boys for regular weekend visits. Aside from normal family hiccups, everyone got along, Dave Brown said.

“I never competed with Drew to be a dad,” Dave Brown said. “I was a stepdad. They knew that. They were loyal to their father. And that was fine with me.”

When the boys moved out of the house, the Browns saw Peterson less. They never met his third wife, Savio, but met Stacy Peterson a few times. She is more than five years younger than Peterson’s sons with Carol Brown.

“She’s a kid,” Dave Brown said. “A lot of middle-age guys act like that’s a dream. I think they’re nuts.”

The last time Dave Brown saw Peterson was at his son Steve Peterson’s wedding in August. Since the disappearance of Stacy, the Browns have been flooded with calls from the media and old friends.

“We talk all the time about it,” he said, but declined to say if they think Peterson had any role in Stacy’s disappearance or Savio’s death.

Dave Brown said Eric Peterson hates the attention with “people banging on his door.” Steve Peterson has been on vacation out of the country.

Vicki Connolly, who was married to Peterson for 10 years beginning in 1982, said in a published report that Peterson took steps to control her, including placing recording devices in their home. He would hit her and play mind games on her. The two divorced after Peterson and Savio began an affair.

Connolly’s adult daughter, Lisa Ward, who lived with Connolly and Peterson when she was a child, told reporters Friday she feels lucky that her mom made it out of the marriage alive.

“Of course,” Ward said. “My mom is a very strong woman for being able to.”

Peterson dismissed Ward’s comment on Friday, as well.

“Lisa’s mad because I'm a strong disciplinarian,” said Peterson

Geraldo just finished a segment about the case.  I didn't see all of it, but he had Dr. Baden, and the Camorotta (sorry, I didn't look back for correct sp of his name)--the guy who found KS in the tub, on air....he seemed shady to me.  Last question Geraldo asked was 'what did you think when you saw this woman in that tub?'  'C' ended up stating that he can't answer that...it was just something he didn't expect to see.  (this followed his comment that Baden had made up his mind prior to the autopsy....Baden replied that it was a fact because of the initial report and the added info at the recent autopsies)  Geraldo wanted to know if he thought someone harmed her or if he thought it was suicide or an accident.  ??? I think anyone would have some thoughts...then or afterward.

Mr Rosetto is said to reside in Shorewood. Shorewood is approximately 16 miles SW from Bolingbrook, by car depending which route you take/time of day 20 minutes, 30 minutes max.  Its right down I-55.
Also wondering about timeline.  Was it morning where SP was supposed to meet friends to paint and was it that night where her family started a missing persons or the next day?  And DP who said he spoke to her at 9pm?  Anybody know his alibi for the day she went missing? Can't help but wondering about spots he could have hid her depending on time available to him.

Here is a timeline that was posted on CTV:

Timeline
Please add to this and make corrections as needed.

Stacy Peterson, age 23, is described as a 5-foot-2-inches, 100 pound, white female with brown hair and eyes. She was last seen wearing a red jogging suit. She has a tattoo of a blue and yellow carnation on the small of her back and a scar across her stomach, according to a news release.

Sunday, October 28, 2007:

9-10am: Stacy is exchanging text messages with Bruce Zidarich, the BF of her sister Cassandra Cales.
>They were making tentative plans to paint a house the family rented for Stacy/Cassandra's brother Yelton (who has been sent back to jail). To get out of the lease, they needed to repaint the walls white. They had previously painted them in a vibrant palette.
>Bruce calls her cell around 10, and according to Bruce, it went something like: Stacy: I'm lying in bed but awake, let me know when Cassandra wakes up.

Later she did not answer calls.

Family started to worry, having been told that Drew was watching Stacy and tracking her movements, checking up on her. He would circle the parking lot at Joliet Junior College to make sure she was in class (pre-nursing, 1 course this semester); he would circle the parking lot if Cassandra and Stacy were in a restaurant to be sure no male was meeting them.
*neighbors have gone on record saying the same, that Stacy feared Drew and wanted to divorce.

Cassandra went to the Downers Grove PD to report Stacy missing, she was directed to go to Bolingbrook PD. When she went to BPD, she was directed to take a drive past the home to see what cars were there, and to report Stacy missing to IL State Police.

Drew claims Stacy called him at 9pm to let him know she had left him, and to let him know he could find her car at the airport. (Clow Airport, a small private airstrip near their home).

Cassandra said the cars were not there at the Peterson home at 9pm.

At 11pm, she stopped at the house on the premise of turning in fundraiser money. The door was answered by Stacys (step)son and he told her "Mom and Dad had a fight this morning" and "he is out looking for her".

Cassandra called Drew and she could hear car keys. He asked "Where is your sister?"

She then went to IL State Police.

Dr. Baden Will Have More Information
by Greta Van Susteren


Dr. Baden, as you know, did an autopsy on Kathleen Savio (Sgt. Peterson’s wife #3.) He concluded the manner of her death is homicide…but Dr. Baden is not finished. He took some samples from Kathleen Savio to conduct some further testing — eg to see if there was any poison in her system at the time of her death. Note that we have no information that she had poison in her body — Dr. Baden is just being thorough.

(http://gretawire.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/chief1.jpg)

The picture above of Dr. Baden was taken Friday night in Bolingbrook, Illinois about an hour before ON THE RECORD began. The picture below is of Dr. Baden and Chief Raymond McGury talking a short time before the show.  We did the show in a building that houses many municipal divisions — including the Chief of Police’s office…hence he wandered down to see what we were doing.

So, if we go with the timeline, DP was out looking for SP at 11pm per the son. Was he himself home all day before that?  Otherwise, that leaves him roughly 10-13 hours to think up a plan/dispose of the body.  With that much time he could of killed her in the morning, put her in temporary hiding spot and later he could have driven to SE/SW Wisconsin.  It was noted (I don't recall whether it was at  time of initial house search or when they relieved him of his weapons upon becoming a suspect) that he had quite a gun collection in the home. Now I realise that he most likely didn't use those weapons but since he's a collector, what would it have taken for him to purchase a gun from a local gun show in WI (easy to do, where they usually ask no questions) and have used that gun since it would be unregistered/untraceable to him anywhere?  He could have disposed of the body and gun in SE/SW WI where it is now deer hunting season in full swing.  Accidental deaths have been known to happen or hunters sometimes don't bring down their targets and they keep going to expire later on.  If he was counting on her not being found period or not found until spring, no one would think the smell of decomposition strange in these areas.  Just my thoughts and opinion.

Hundreds turn out for Peterson vigil

November 17, 2007
BY BRIAN STANLEY Staff Writer

BOLINGBROOK--About 200 people, 50 members of the media and two black dogs made the walk Saturday evening from the residence of the late Kathleen Savio to Stacy Peterson;s house.

Friends and relatives arranged the candlelight vigil which covered the two blocks separating the residences of Drew Peterson's third and fourth wives.


Stacy Peterson, the 23-year-old wife of the 53-year-old Peterson, vanished from the couple¹s Pheasant Chase Court home 22 days ago. State police have called the case a "potential homicide" and named Drew Peterson a suspect.

Pink and blue ribbons were tied around every lamppost and tree on Pheasant Chase Court as supporters were given candles with paper cups around them to block the wind and rain.

"This vigil is keeping the awareness out there," said Shawn Cothron, a Bolingbrook resident who spent Saturday morning searching a forest preserve for Stacy Peterson. Cothron has been searching because one of his relatives is a friend of Drew Peterson¹s 15-year-old son.

"I just want to help find some answers, especially for the kids. I think that's what everybody wants," he said.

Some at the rally made signs which read, "2 Beautiful Women plus 1 worthy cause = justice"; "No one is above the law" and "Watch out. We're P.M.S.-ing. Grrr!" Bolingbrook police officers stopped traffic to allow the vigil past the intersection of Lilly Cache Lane. Some neighbors watched from their windows while others came out and joined the procession as it passed by.

When the vigil reached Stacy and Drew Peterson's house, marchers who had been carrying signs set them on the front porch.

Anne Tarbell doesn't know Stacy Peterson or Kathleen Savio, Drew Peterson's third wife who was found dead in her bathtub, but the Bolingbrook woman traveled with the procession despite needing the use of a walker.

"I can't stand that women are being beaten up and murdered," she said.

"Domestic violence has to end."

Peterson's 1st wife describes doting husband
By Gerry Smith

Tribune staff reporter

10:07 PM CST, November 17, 2007

Carol Brown was five months pregnant with Drew Peterson's first child when she had a miscarriage. She had been bed-ridden in the weeks before, and Peterson was by her side, bringing her food and "always being very supportive of me," she said.

It would have been the couple's first child, and Peterson was devastated, she said. Speaking publicly for the first time since the disappearance of Stacy Peterson, Peterson's fourth wife, Brown, 50, described her ex-husband's support during the traumatic pregnancy and painted a more nuanced portrait than the increasingly controlling and suspicious husband described by his second wife and relatives of other wives.

In an interview published in the Tribune on Friday, Drew Peterson's second wife, Vicki Connolly, spoke of the extremes she experienced with him: wonderful at times, and "really bad" at others, including threats on her life.

Brown said Drew Peterson never threatened her or abused her during their six-year marriage between 1974 and 1980. She acknowledged, however, that he was a study in contrasts, a charming teenager and doting young husband who also could be controlling and, eventually, unfaithful.

Police have described Drew Peterson, 53, as a suspect in the disappearance of Stacy Peterson and are reinvestigating the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, whose body was discovered in a bathtub in 2004.

Asked if she thought Drew Peterson was involved in either case, Brown said, "I can't answer that."

Brown has declined numerous requests for interviews, allowing her current husband of 26 years, David Brown, to speak for her.

Meanwhile, she has watched media reports on the Peterson case in disbelief, never considering that the lanky teenager she met her freshman year of high school could be capable of murder.

At Willowbrook High School in Villa Park, Carol Brown and Drew Peterson met through a friend of Peterson's, who was a senior at the time. Back then, Brown said, she was drawn to his charismatic and outspoken personality.

"He was very outgoing, always told a lot of jokes," she said. "He was very confident."

The couple went on dates, with Peterson bringing her flowers, taking her to movies and his senior prom.

Three years later, in 1974, they married. After Peterson briefly attended the College of DuPage, the couple moved to Falls Church, Va., where he trained as a military police officer.

"That was always his ambition to be a police officer," she said.

They later moved to Bolingbrook, where they went out to dinner with other police couples. She rarely went out on her own, she said.

"He didn't really like me going out at night with friends," Brown said. "But he wouldn't hold me hostage and say, 'No you can't go out.' "

Peterson, by contrast, was out almost every night as an undercover police officer, she said. Then, when she was pregnant with their second child, she discovered that Peterson had been cheating on her.

"I thought he always had respect for me, but I guess when you stray in a relationship, you don't have respect for the person that you were doing that to."

In 1980, Peterson filed for divorce and appointed an attorney. Brown, who was not working at the time, could not afford a lawyer, so Peterson's attorney oversaw the divorce proceedings.

"That would be the controlling-type thing that he would do," she said. "He'd want things his way, and I'd want things my way and I think that's normal in any divorce relationship."

As for Peterson hiring an attorney to mediate the divorce, Brown said, "What kind of ethics did that lawyer have that he would represent both of us?"

Still, Brown was given full custody of their two children, and in 1981, she married David Brown, who was in Peterson's class at Willowbrook High School.

Though she received only $250 per month in child support, "if the kids ever needed anything extra, whether it was sports equipment or extra fees in school, I would ask him and he would pay it," she said. "There was no argument ever."

Peterson rarely attended his sons' sporting events, but Brown and her husband would be joined by Peterson's second wife, Vicki Connolly.

In August, Brown saw Peterson for the first time in years at their son Steve's wedding. By then, Peterson was married to Stacy Peterson, but he arrived at the wedding alone.

"I didn't feel like I needed to have much contact with him," Brown said.

In March 2005 a handwritten will was filed, it was dated March of 1997 and gave all assets to the spouse should one of them die
Assets DP received after KS died:
$533,000+ in life insurance
$1 million life insurance police for kids that DP controls
Businesses - value unknown, but both were sold
House sold for $288,000
Grand Total is well over $2million
Given the history of DV and the suspicious nature of her death DP should have been looked at much more closely at the time of the coroner's jury into KS's death.
Henry, KS's father, says he believes that DP had something to do with KS's death, but "you have to prove it."
Glad that Baden proved that KS was killed and did not accidentally drown.
Father thinks she was beat up and then drown as Baden said
DP is scheduled to be back on the Today show tomorrow morning
What question would you like to be asked of DP?
Father says he doesn't want to talk to him - can't look at him.
Nick would like to know why?
Savio family never saw a dime of the money DP received after KS died.
Craig Rivera interviewed Steve Cesare
SC dated Tina years ago

When he heard SP was gone, he was very concerned because of the email he had received from her recently that said DP was controlling, manipulative, and somewhat abusive.
When Tina was in the hospital more than 2 hours away, SC offered to take SP to the hospital to visit Tina, but DP said she was not allowed to go.
Tina told SC that she was very cautious of DP because she believed that DP killed KS.
SC looked right at the camera and spoke to DP: "Drew, you were lying through your teeth! These are real (hand on emails) and I'm real! You need to tell us what you did with her (SP)!"

Why Was Drew Peterson a “No Show”?
Saturday, November 17th, 2007

Drew Peterson was a “no show” on Saturday’s show and perhaps he will reconsider Sunday.  When I’d spoken with Drew Friday - after an answering machine at his home with Stacy’s voice answered and he screened the call before picking up - he said he would do the interview. That was prior to Dr. Michael Baden’s stunning autopsy conclusions which Greta broke On The Record later Friday night.

Even though Drew Peterson hasn’t been charged with any crime and in fact on Friday learned he will get his police department pension, he may have re-thought his agreement to come on the show after hearing the news that Kathleen Savio’s death has been ruled a homicide by such an experienced and credible forensic pathologist.

Drew told me by phone Friday he is interviewing and selecting a “team of attorneys” so that he is prepared for whatever is ahead in this investigation. He’d made a public plea for an attorney willing to take his case when he appeared on the “Today Show”. Maybe he was advised not to do the interview today or he may simply and suddenly have “no comment”.

Drew told me four days after Stacy disappeared - as I sat in his living room -  that he welcomed the re-investigation of Kathleen Savio’s death. “The conclusions” he told me “will be the same”. As most of you know that turns out to not be the case. In addition to explaining how he came to his manner of death ruling, Dr. Baden told me on our show today that one of the jurors during the inquest into Kathleen’s death was a police officer that knew Drew Peterson.

Do you think Drew had connections and caused a cover-up in the original investigation? This new investigation has a new police chief and new state’s attorney in charge and if Drew did hamper the prior investigation it’s a safe bet because of that we’ll learn about it.

As for the children - the original topic for today’s interview with Drew - all four children remain in Drew’s care and custody and we do not know if any of them learned the news of this new Kathleen Savio independent autopsy ruling. The two older children are Kathleen’s and Drew’s (adopted by Stacy after Kathleen’s death in 2004) and certainly they are old enough to read the paper or check headlines on-line.

Drew continues to deny any involvement in either his third or fourth’s wives death or disappearance respectively but I wanted the opportunity to ask him how he is explaining all of this to his children. I’ve left several messages and I’ll let you know if he agrees to talk to us on tomorrow’s show Fox News Live, Sunday 10am eastern.

Peterson to appear on 'Today' show again
Tribune staff report

7:10 PM CST, November 18, 2007

Drew Peterson, whose fourth wife, Stacy, has been missing since Oct. 28, will make a second appearance on the "Today" show Monday morning, according to the show's producers.

Peterson, 53, will join "Today" show host Matt Lauer for a live interview during the first hour of the NBC show, which starts at 7 a.m., to answer questions about the latest developments in the case. Peterson will not be in the studio, but he will participate from an undisclosed location, joined by his attorney, Joel Brodsky, of the Chicago firm Brodsky & Odeh, said Megan Kopf, a spokeswoman for the show

Peterson previously appeared on the Today show on Wednesday. He said he thought his wife had left him for another man and asked her to come back to their Bolingbrook home.

Peterson, who was a 29-year veteran of the Bolingbrook Police Department, has been named by investigators as a suspect in the disappearance of his 23-year-old wife

Statement from Sgt. Drew Peterson’s Lawyer
by Greta Van Susteren

UPDATE - See below.  I want to make sure you have the chance to read all the documents and releases that we receive.

There are two important points to keep in mind in reading the statement of Sgt. Drew Peterson’s lawyer below:

1/ What did the state’s medical examiner who did the autopsy the day before Dr. Baden conclude? (that is not yet released….)

2/ Dr. Baden did NOT say Drew Peterson killed wife #3. In fact, he specifically said on ON THE RECORD on Friday night that he could not tell from the autopsy — he could only tell the manner of death (not who did it.) No one has named Peterson a suspect in her death — and an investigation should be commenced that is wide open and not focused on one person. Good investigators don’t have their suspect first and then collect evidence to prove it — they do the reverse: they gather evidence to see who their suspect is.
 
Peterson statement:

We are the attorneys for Drew Peterson. We have seen Dr. Baden’s T.V. interviews regarding his autopsy of the remains of Kathleen Savio, which originally appeared on the FOX New Channel which we note is part of the FOX Entertainment Group. The results of Dr. Baden’s autopsy on Ms. Savio do not surprise us, not because we believe they are accurate, but only because Dr. Baden had indicated over a week before he had performed the autopsy that he believed Kathleen’s death was not an accident. While Dr. Baden is an eminent and renowned pathologist, we do not know his motivation for donating his services, and the nature of his arrangement with the FOX Entertainment Group. It has been reported that FOX paid for Dr. Baden’s trip to perform the autopsy, and his first interviews were on the FOX Entertainment owned FOX News Channel. All we wish to say is that Kathleen’s death should not be a source of entertainment.

We are also compelled to respond to one of Dr. Baden’s statements regarding his autopsy of Kathleen Savio. Dr. Baden is quoted as saying that ANormal healthy people don’t die accidently in bathtubs@. We are troubled by this statement. Even assuming that Ms. Savio was a Anormal healthy@ person, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission reported that in 2006 alone there were 126,563 bathtub/shower related injuries in the U.S. based on 3,147 reported incidents, including 4 reported deaths, for people between the ages of 21 and 65. A great many of these reported injuries included lacerations, contusions and abrasions from falls in bathtubs. Also, of the 6 bathtub/shower related deaths reported to the Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2006, 2 included deaths by drowning.

We are concerned that there may be a rush to judgment in the Savio and Peterson investigations fueled by the media attention. Our hope is that the authorities are not swayed by what may prove to be inaccurate statements, or by media created pressure, and will only be influenced by confirmed facts and hard evidence.

Once again, for the sake of Mr. Peterson’s children who are caught up in this affair, we ask that the media exercise restraint. Mr. Peterson will comment through our office when such comment is appropriate. Otherwise, there will be no comment.

Ex-cop addresses suspicions in disappearance
Suspect in missing wife’s disappearance urges her to ‘publicly show herself’
By John Springer
TODAYShow.com contributor
updated 6:01 a.m. PT, Mon., Nov. 19, 2007


Nearly a month after his fourth wife went missing and a week after the body of his third wife was exhumed, former Illinois police sergeant Drew Peterson is finally doing what many legal experts said he should have been doing from the start.

Peterson is “lawyering up.”

In contrast to his exclusive appearance last week on TODAY, Peterson, 53, left most of the talking to attorney Joel Brodsky during a second live interview on Monday. TODAY co-host Matt Lauer spent much of the interview trying to get Brodsky to let Peterson answer questions about his reaction to pathologist Michael Baden’s opinion that Peterson’s third wife, Kathleen Savio’s death in 2004 was a homicide staged to look like an accidental drowning in a bathtub.

Brodsky answered for Peterson, whom police have named a suspect in both the death of Savio and the Oct. 23 disappearance of the woman Peterson married soon after Savio died, 23-year-old Stacy Peterson. Brodsky said that Baden, who conducted a second autopsy last week at the request of Savio’s family, had made up his mind that the third Mrs. Peterson was murdered before he examined her remains on Friday.

“Dr. Baden, with all due respect to him, is a renowned pathologist, but he had a pre-existing opinion before he did the autopsy,” Brodsky said, pointing to interviews Baden granted a cable news network. “His conclusion was a self-fulfilling prophecy.”

After a back-and-forth with Brodsky about what Peterson would and would not be allowed to comment on, Lauer finally got to ask Peterson a question.

“Mr. Peterson, are you upset to learn that she may have been murdered?” he asked.

“Yes, I am upset to hear something like that. Very much so,” Peterson said.

Brodsky took issue with Baden’s statement on another program that people rarely die in bathtub accidents, saying statistically it is quite common.

“We do disagree with his finding. The first autopsy, from what I understand was very thorough. They concluded it was an accident,” Brodsky said.

‘Walking a fine line’
Noting that Brodsky was continuously blocking questions intended for Peterson, Lauer appeared a bit frustrated but was determined to get answers from him.

“It appears now that I’m going to be walking a fine line between what you want to tell me, Mr. Brodsky, and what Mr. Peterson is allowed to tell me,” Lauer said.

Peterson did say that there is clearly animosity between himself and his second wife, Vicki Connelly, but he was not aware of it until she spoke to the Chicago Tribune. Connelly said Peterson, who resigned last week from the Bolingbrook, Ill., Police Department, told her he could kill her and make it look like an accident.

“He has the experience, the knowledge, the means and the mind to do that,” Connelly told the newspaper.

Asked about the comment, Peterson said only, “I thought we were friends.”

Brodsky would not allow Peterson to confirm or deny the comment.

“People that are divorced are always making accusations and comments about each other. This is simply a comment by someone who went through a divorce with Mr. Peterson,” the lawyer said.

‘Kids need a mom’
Peterson, who is not charged with any crime, repeated his public plea last week for Stacy Peterson to return home to care for the couple’s two young children. He continues to believe that she ran off with another man, leaving him to answer questions about her strange and sudden disappearance.

“Are you worried about her, Mr. Peterson?” Lauer asked.

“Of course,” he replied. “Your wife leaves and I have kids at home, you are very much worried about her.”

“Although you think she is with another man, are you worried that she may never come back to be a mother to these children?” Lauer pressed, after wrestling with Peterson’s lawyer again to find a question he could answer.

“Yes, I am,” Peterson said.

“Kids need a mom … Basically, I’d like to have her publicly show herself now and clear all of this up.”


A county coroner’s report on the second autopsy of Kathleen Savio’s body is expected to be finalized in late December. Baden, the former chief medical examiner for New York City, has said publicly that his examination of Savio’s body on Friday leads him to conclude that she struggled with her killer and that the scene was staged to look like an accidental drowning.

“I’m convinced she was the victim of a murder. ‘Who done it’ is up to the police to resolve,” Baden told The Associated Press.

Attorneys, as a rule, do not like targets of criminal investigations to give interviews at all. Peterson, however, has said that he has been speaking to NBC News, in part, to get the media to stop camping outside of his home. But he does so at his own peril.

If he is charged, his public statements about the disappearance of Stacy Peterson, Savio’s death and his rocky relationship with both women could be used to impeach his credibility if he were to testify differently at a trial.

I was hoping that Ric might have answered my question about Steve. I guess he really can’t say too much, but it sure would be good if he could share more with us.

Anyway, I had a reason for asking, because I DID speak with a very close neighbor to Kathleen this past Saturday. I live 5-6 blocks away from DP, and I knew this woman lived closer to DP than I did, but until talking with her Saturday, I just didn’t realize HOW close. I know her from activities our children our involved in. She lives 4 houses away from Kathleen’s former home.

She says the neighbors ALL knew about the domestic violence calls and the problems in the Peterson home/marriage. It was common knowledge among the neighbors, but NO ONE stood up to help because of who Drew was. They were too afraid and didn’t want to make an enemy of this man. He was a police officer, they felt helpless to do anything.

Never thinking that it would result in murder, but that most neighbors suspected it was. Still today - most everyone in the neighborhood believes he is guilty of both Kathleen’s murder and Stacy’s probable murder BUT NO ONE WILL SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THEIR FEAR OF HIM.

Lawyer for Peterson Expects No Charges

1 hour ago

CHICAGO (AP) — A lawyer representing a former police officer suspected in the disappearance of his wife said Monday he does not believe his client will face charges stemming from the investigation.

Speaking on NBC's "Today" show, lawyer Joel Brodsky also criticized the media for their coverage of Drew Peterson, who resigned as a Bolingbrook police sergeant after his 23-year-old fourth wife, Stacy, vanished three weeks ago.

Police have named the 53-year-old Peterson as a suspect in her disappearance, and authorities have called the case a possible homicide. He has denied any involvement in her disappearance.

"We do not expect to be charged in these cases," Brodsky said. "This is out of control. It's a rush to judgment fueled by people, by entertainment and people seem to want to be entertained by what's going on."

Brodsky, who began representing Peterson on Friday, declined to let his client respond to most questions during Monday's short interview.

Peterson, whose children with Stacy Peterson are 2 and 4, answered "yes" when asked if he was worried she may never return home. "Kids need a mom," he said.

Asked if he was worried about his wife, he said: "Of course. Your wife leaves you and I have kids at home, you're very much worried about her."

Peterson reiterated that he thinks his wife left him for another man. "I'd like to have her publicly show herself so we can clear all this up," said Peterson, who has older children from an earlier marriage.

Stacy Peterson, who was studying nursing at a junior college, disappeared from the couple's suburban Chicago home Oct. 28. Volunteers have been canvassing fields, lakes and construction sites near the family's Bolingbrook house, but have found no traces of the woman.

Still, the investigation into her disappearance caused prosecutors to reopen the investigation into the death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, whose body was found in a bathtub in 2004.

At the time, authorities ruled her death an accidental drowning, but investigators exhumed her body last week at the request of a prosecutor, who has said after examining evidence he believes her death was a homicide staged to look like an accident.

A pathologist who conducted another autopsy on Savio's body for her family said last week he believes the woman was murdered.

Peterson has also denied any role in Savio's death. He was asked Monday for his reaction to speculation that Savio was murdered. "Yes, I'm upset to hear something like that said. Very much so," he said.

 MumInOhio:

Could you repost a small clip of the dating bit you wrote to oldcrabby?  I couldn't find it.  I was interested to see it also.  I went back and found the long Nancy Grace transcript you posted, but couldn't see this bit.  I guess because he covered up her body so well, whatever horrible thing he did to it, he is so super confident it won't be found.

It is astounding that he terrified the neighborhood so bad according to greta's words posted by klaasend that the whole neighborhood knew of the domestic violence but was too afraid of the police officer husband.  That is toooooo scarey!  Yikes!  A whole neighborhood in fear of a police officer.

Also, does it mean anything when he uses refers to himself not in the first person - he keeps distancing himself, right?  When he says, "you would be upset" instead of "I was very upset."   Also, again, his body language lacks any emotion or showing of anyone being upset.  Seems to act like it is just everyday someone disappears off the face of the earth.
These women stayed so long with him.   Jeeeeeeez.  the poor kids. :-x

Woman's body found in vacant lot in Harvey
By Jason Meisner

Tribune staff reporter

7:37 AM CST, November 19, 2007

 The body of an unidentified woman was found overnight in a vacant lot in south suburban Harvey, authorities said.

The partially clothed body was discovered Sunday evening in the 15000 block of Maplewood Avenue, according to a Cook County medical examiner's office spokesman. Investigators were able to determine the body is that of a Caucasian woman but no approximate age was available.

She is not believed to be connected to any of the recent well-publicized missing persons cases.

The woman was pronounced dead at 7:25 p.m. Sunday at the scene, the spokesman said. An autopsy is scheduled for this morning.

The body appeared to have been chewed by animals before it was found but no other trauma was evident, authorities said.

Harvey police were not immediately available for comment.

Peterson search takes break;
Effort to resume after Thanksgiving, family friend says
 
By Brandi Watters and Karoun Demirjian, Chicago Tribune. Brandi Watters is a freelance reporter; Karoun Demirjian is a Tribune staff reporter. Tribune wire services contributed to this report.
 

For three weeks, volunteers have combed the landscape of the southwest suburbs looking for 23-year-old Stacy Peterson, but the search will be put on hold this week for Thanksgiving.

Roy Taylor, a family friend helping to lead the effort, said Sunday that searchers will continue to gather information, review maps of the area and coordinate a search planned for the weekend after Thanksgiving. Those who wish to continue looking for the missing mother of two are welcome to do so, Taylor added.

"We have volunteers that want to search, so we're not discouraging them ... but we can't be liable if they're on someone's property or something," he said.

Peterson was last seen Oct. 28, and her husband, former Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, has been named a suspect in her disappearance. The disappearance prompted investigators to re-examine the mysterious 2004 drowning of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio.

Savio's body was exhumed last week, but official autopsy results have not yet been revealed. Her death was originally ruled an accident.

An independent autopsy, requested by Savio's family and conducted by former New York City chief medical examiner Michael Baden on Friday, reached the conclusion that Savio died after a struggle, and that her body was placed in the bathtub where she was found.

On Sunday, Drew Peterson's attorney Joel Brodsky questioned the legitimacy of Baden's examination.

"The results of Dr. Baden's autopsy on Ms. Savio do not surprise us, not because we believe they are accurate, but only because Dr. Baden had indicated over a week before he had performed the autopsy that he believed Kathleen's death was not an accident," Brodsky said in a statement.

Drew Peterson, who retired last week after 29 years at the Bolingbrook Police Department, has repeatedly denied he had anything to do with Stacy Peterson's disappearance and says she left him for another man.

On Monday morning, he is set to make his second appearance on NBC's "Today" show, producers said.

On Sunday, Stacy Peterson's family members reacted to reports that she had called an old friend, Scott Rossetto of Shorewood, three weeks before her disappearance.

"It almost sounded like they were making it sound like he was a romantic interest. I don't know how anybody is automatically assumed to be a romantic interest just because someone makes a phone call," said Kerry Simmons, Stacy Peterson's stepsister.

Simmons said the missing woman was planning to leave her husband, but not for another man.

"She was ready to do this on her own. She had contacted an attorney and [was trying to] find a place to go with the kids," Simmons said. "She wanted to make sure she could get out with the kids so that they would be safe and not have him come after her."

Despite her worries, Simmons said the search will continue.

"I don't think we get discouraged, but everybody's getting tired, that's for sure," Simmons said.

From Nancy Grace transcripts..11/8/2007

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: How in the world did he get away with dating a 17-year-old girl? It is illegal in Illinois. If an 18-year-old boy is caught having sex with a 17-year-old girl, he is arrested and then has to register a sex offender. How did he get away with it?

LALAMA: That`s a good question. But Joe Hosey from "The Herald News," my understanding is he claims he went to the department, said, I have a 17-year-old girlfriend, and they said, No problem, right?

JOE HOSEY, "HERALD NEWS": I don`t think he necessarily went to the department. The department found out about it, and they went to the state`s attorney`s office, he says, and he was given an opinion that it was OK. The problem -- she was 17, he was 47. That`s legal unless he`s in a position of authority. The department was saying as a police officer, he`s in a position of authority, but apparently, the state`s attorney`s office felt otherwise.
      ------------------------------------------------------------------

Seems like the States Attorney's office didn't do their job on this one. They had reason to look at him on two separate occasions!

[then has to register a sex offender. How did he get away with it?

The problem -- she was 17, he was 47. That`s legal unless he`s in a position of authority. The department was saying as a police officer, he`s in a position of authority, but apparently, the state`s attorney`s office felt otherwise.
     
Ok, some one please explain to me how it is legal if your 47 dating a 17 year old, but illegal for an 18 year old?

And is a policeman not a person "in authority" 

I am confused?

San- why would he say IT'S?  Why didn't he say SHE's not here. 

Keep talking Drew, you are digging yourself deeper every time you open your mouth.

Exactly Klaas.  Klaas do you know if he is getting paid for these interviews that he did with the Today Show.

It's = Body.

Not sure about Today or Fox, I don't think he gets paid for the show, only lodging and transportation.  He did an interview today in his back yard with People Magazine and I'm sure they do pay.

Thanks MumInOhio for reposting the dating bit.

Jennifer - you should be confused (about DP not being accountable to the law regarding sex with a minor).  That's the point.  He used his position of authority to be "above the law" - that's why his membership of the policy society allowed him and them to be above the law - the department overlooked DP when he should have been apprehended for things - only the rest of us law abiding citizens are supposed to be held to the law.  That's why the neighborhood knew of the domestic violence but was silent because of fear of the police officer. 

Anna - Maybe that reporter should have asked Drew where "it" is then if not at his house since he seems to know.

HAAAA!   YES!

& whoever wrote the post about hopefully he'll keep talking so he'll incriminate himself.  YES!!!!!!!!!!  EXACTLY SO!!!!!

Ex-wife's private autopsy blasted; Lawyer for Drew Peterson questions Fox News ties  
Frank Main and Maureen O'Donnell, The Chicago Sun-Times
 

Drew Peterson's lawyer is questioning a private autopsy last week that concluded the death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, was a homicide.

But Savio's family stood by Dr. Michael Baden, the former New York City chief medical examiner, who conducted the autopsy Friday.

"Dr. Baden is the best in the world," said Savio's stepmother, Marcia Savio. "He is a top pathologist. . . . That man did this for Kathleen to bring her justice. He wanted to make sure the world knows that Kathleen did not have to die."

Savio was found dead in a bathtub in 2004 after she divorced Peterson, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant. Police have named Peterson a suspect in last month's disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson.

Sunday, Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, blasted the autopsy results and questioned Baden's ties with Fox News, the TV network Baden selected to reveal his findings.

"The results of Dr. Baden's autopsy on Ms. Savio do not surprise us . . . because Dr. Baden had indicated the conclusion before he conducted his autopsy that he believed Kathleen's death was not an accident," Brodsky said.

"While Dr. Baden is a renowned pathologist, we do not know the motivation for donating his services and the nature of his relationship with the Fox Entertainment Group. All we wish to say is that Kathleen's death should not be a source of entertainment," Brodsky said in a statement.

Savio was 40 when she died. She was exhumed last week, and the Will County coroner conducted an official autopsy. The results are pending.

Will County authorities then allowed Baden to conduct a private autopsy in the county morgue Friday. Baden's exam will have no bearing on the official investigation.

After the private autopsy, Baden briefed the Savio family before going on Greta Van Susteren's show on Fox News to announce he found her death a homicide. In 2004, a coroner's jury ruled Savio's death was accidental.

"There were indications then of multiple blunt force traumas, of being beaten up," Baden said on Van Susteren's show Friday.

Earlier, Baden told Van Susteren that Savio's family wanted a private autopsy to "give them some sort of comfort that they're getting the story as independent as possible on what the findings are."

On Nov. 9, Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow announced Savio's death appeared to have been staged to cover up a murder. He formally launched a re-investigation of her death.

Drew Peterson denies he was involved in Savio's death or the disappearance of Stacy Peterson.

The controlling behavior that Stacy Peterson's family and friends say her husband exhibited toward her wasn't evident toward his first wife, Carol -- perhaps because they were on an equal footing, Carol's husband, Dave Brown, said Sunday.

Carol Brown and Drew Peterson were close in age when they married and had common friends. They attended Willowbrook High School and were from "suburban, middle-class backgrounds," Dave Brown said.

In contrast, Stacy Peterson was from a "broken home," Brown said. Stacy Peterson's relatives and friends have described a chaotic upbringing that helped Drew Peterson sweep her off her feet.

Peterson was attentive when he and Carol experienced a miscarriage during their marriage, Brown said. "He always treated her with respect, even when we saw him lately," he said.

Peterson "was a good father" to the two sons he had with Carol, Brown said. Peterson and Carol divorced because he cheated on her, Brown said.

Carol Brown will appear on ABC's "Good Morning America" and Drew Peterson on NBC's "Today Show" this morning. Both shows air at 7 a.m.

I am embarassed to ask, but I have been reading back and have found nothing. Has there been any accounts of the whereabouts of DP on the Sunday that Stacy went missing or the two days following?  I saw that he did not speak out until Wed. of the week that she went missing. I read that he claims to have talked to Stacy on Sunday evening.

oldencrabby -

that is THE question!
What is DP alibi???
There are a few timelines posted that would help.
- I think a day or two before she disappeared her sister Cassandra said she whispered to her that she wanted to get a divorce and get the children safe, but was scared.  (Supposedly whispered becuz thot the house was bugged.)
Cassandra had told her she was scared becuz if wife 3 being found dead, I think.
-  Her stepsister Kerry I read today said she was making plans to get an attorney or had got one and had a divorce planned.
- SP had plans to show up to paint the brother's house for the landlord to get out of a lease or something, but never showed up that morning to paint the house. 
- Cassandra called DP and heard his car keys sound so thought he wasn't at home when he said he was over the phone? 
- Then Cassandra showed up at the house under the pretense of money for a fund raiser and the stepson said Mom and Dad had a fight.
- Then DP said he got phonecall from SP saying she found someone, which was never substantiated.

I had posted earlier the question what is DP alibi?
Did the neighbors see anything the 27/28?
Did the kids?
Did anyone see DP anywhere?
Was he at work?
Anything?

Once again Drew Peterson's friend Steve Cercerano is sticking up for him.  He said he talks to Drew on a daily basis and in fact he spoke to him a little bit ago.  He is saying Drew can't win at this point with the media.  He said he is not suspicious at all about Drew and wife number three.  He said Drew got choked up when he talked about her and he also got choked up when he was talking about Stacy.  He said he was present for it.

This guy is FOS.

Jeffrey Fieger said DP's lawyer did a good and bad job.  He said in this case DP did himself no good by going in the media spotlight.

Ted Williams said about DP to go on National TV and sit there like a potted plant :lol:

Ted also said it was like ARUBA, no body/no case!

That has become a global mantra of sorts.  Seems that to get away with a crime such as murder, all one has to do is make the body disappear.  Is this the result of the swing from circumstantial to forensic evidence?  Can we no longer get a conviction without forensics when we did so for centuries before most of the methods used today even existed?

Maybe a little balance between the two is  in order.  People cannot continue to be allowed to get off of crimes when they are guilty because they have hidden the body especially well.

I am not saying anybody, even DP is guilty of anything.  Just that there has to be a way to obtain a conviction without a body.  Otherwise, it's open season if you hide the body well enough.  That's just unacceptable.

I agree Anna.

Wendy Murphy said it best the other night.  She said she understands why people take matters into their own hands (Vigilante Justice).  I can understand it also.  I'm not saying it is the right thing to do but in this case it would be well deserved to see DP get his.

Yes, it is part of the social contract into which we were born that we exchange the right to vengeance in exchange for justice, the basic concept of civilization and the law.

When there is no justice, this contract is broken.  People will not stand for it for long.  It really needs to be corrected and the rules for collecting evidence adjusted or whatever is needed to put an end to this business of hiding the body and going on "free feet."

Sergeant Drew Peterson Tells Media to Go Home

Aired November 19, 2007 - 20:00:00   ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.


MIKE BROOKS, GUEST HOST: Tonight: He makes the media rounds again, denying any involvement in his third wife`s mysterious death or his fourth wife`s disappearance. And now Drew Peterson goes back on the airwaves, but this time, his lawyer does all the talking. With the state`s autopsy results still pending, Peterson`s attorney blasts an independent autopsy ruling the death of Kathleen Savio a homicide.
And tonight: After wife number two comes forward, calling her marriage to Peterson abusive and controlling, wife number one finally speaks out.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Last time he was on the NBC "Today" show, Drew Peterson answered every question Matt Lauer asked. This time, the former Chicago-area cop let his lawyer do most of the talking. This morning, Drew Peterson once again denied any involvement in his wife`s disappearance. He also hinted that his wife had run off with another man and that she should now come back home. On Saturday, the family of Peterson`s wife, Stacy, held a vigil outside the couple`s home.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (INAUDIBLE) Stacy (INAUDIBLE)

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BROOKS: Good evening. I`m Mike Brooks, in for Nancy Grace. His fourth wife is missing and his third wife`s mysterious death is under investigation, and now Drew Peterson is all lawyered up.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

DREW PETERSON, SUSPECT IN WIFE`S DISAPPEARANCE: It`s mind-boggling. You know, it`s just like people are looking at me under a magnifying glass. And it`s very upsetting. I mean, what I had for breakfast is a big -- is newsworthy.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Drew Peterson addresses the media upon arriving home from his second interview in five days on NBC`s "Today" show. The former Bolingbrook police officer is a suspect in the disappearance case of his 23-year-old wife, Stacy, and says he`s tired of all this attention.

PETERSON: Please go home. Thanksgiving`s in the next couple days. Please go home. Please leave me alone. Please don`t get involved in my (INAUDIBLE)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: No such antics earlier on national TV, as new legal counsel Joel Brodsky insisted on answering most of Matt Lauer`s questions. This from Brodsky in response to an independent autopsy by Dr. Michael Baden that showed that the death of Peterson`s third wife, Kathleen Savio, was staged to be an accident.

Meanwhile, Peterson`s first wife, Carol Brown, was appearing on ABC`s "Good Morning America" to say the Drew she knew was not capable of murder.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Over the weekend, we heard from the family of his first wife, who said, OK, he was very controlling, he cheated on her, but as for any type of physical or mental violence, that didn`t happen.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BROOKS: Good evening. I`m Mike Brooks, in for Nancy Grace. Well, he says he`s tired of all this attention, but we see Drew Peterson back with his mug in front of the camera again. For the latest, let`s go out to Chicago, with Kathy Chaney, reporter for "The Chicago Defender." Kathy, what`s the latest?

KATHY CHANEY, "THE CHICAGO DEFENDER": The latest is he went on the "Today" show again this morning, and he was completely emotionless, barely said anything. But after that was over, he gets home and the local media gets a taste of Drew Peterson again. He had a photo shoot with "People" magazine.

BROOKS: Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait!

(CROSSTALK)

BROOKS: He had a photo shoot with "People" magazine?

CHANEY: Yes, there was a photo crew I believe from "People" magazine waiting at his house, and he took some pictures. I`m not sure when the issue is supposed to hit the newsstands or what the issue is about, but they were there taking pictures of him.

BROOKS: Is he getting paid for this?

CHANEY: I have no idea yet.

BROOKS: Interesting. Let`s take a listen to what he had to say on the "Today" show for the second time.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

MATT LAUER, "TODAY": Mr. Peterson, are you upset to learn that she may have been murdered?

JOEL BRODSKY, PETERSON`S ATTORNEY: Go ahead.

PETERSON: Yes, I`m upset to hear something like that said, very much so.

LAUER: Do you maintain that it still was an accident? Do you disagree with Dr. Baden`s findings?

BRODSKY: Well (INAUDIBLE) now -- now you`re asking a fact, and we do disagree with his findings.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BROOKS: That was Drew Peterson making his second appearance on the "Today" show. But this time, Peterson takes the advice of a lawyer while talking about the mysterious death of his third wife.

I want to go right out now to Jon Leiberman, correspondent from "America`s Most Wanted." Jon, thanks for being with us.

JON LEIBERMAN, "AMERICA`S MOST WANTED": Hey, Mike.

BROOKS: Well, you were out there this weekend. Tell me what`s going on out there and the search efforts and what you all are doing right now, too.

LEIBERMAN: Well, first of all, the fact that Drew Peterson is tired of the media? Come on! Posing for a picture spread on the lawn? And this morning, that was a whole media blitz for his attorney. But that`s a whole other -- we`ll talking about that later.

But yes, we were out there this weekend. We launched an aerial search of our own, Mike, because the fact of the matter is there`s really no organized search right now going on for Stacy Peterson. We need to bring Stacy home, so we launched...

BROOKS: Now, Jon, have they stopped searching for her, or is it they just -- maybe they have run out of tips and they`ve run out of any kind of leads whatsoever?

LEIBERMAN: Well, there`s a few different things at play, Mike. Number one, Equusearch went home. They`re the group who was out there for about the first week, doing some searches on the ground. Number two, the family and neighbors have stopped searching over this holiday week. But we wanted to go for a few reasons, Mike. One was to get a lay of the land because we continue to get leads into our crime center here. We wanted to get the lay of the land so that we could see if these tips were indeed good or not.

BROOKS: Now, when you were up -- you were up -- you went up with a friend, a very good friend of his, who we`re going to talk to in just a moment, Rick Mims. Now, Rick was here with us last -- on Friday night, and really gave us a lot of good insight into Drew Peterson and Stacy Peterson`s relationship. But he also apparently used to go flying with him quite a bit. We`re going to talk to him about that. Did you all go along the route where he used to like to go flying?

LEIBERMAN: Great question. We absolutely did. Rick showed us the airport where Drew kept his plane, the route that they would always drive to get to the airport, and perhaps more importantly, the places where Drew used to like to go with Stacy. He was teaching Stacy how to ride a motorcycle. They used to like to hang out along the Illinois River. So obviously, police have been telling us behind the scenes they fear that Stacy is in the water somewhere.

Well, we did an aerial canvas of the Illinois River. And Mike, I do want to give you a little piece of breaking news, as well. We did learn tonight from Illinois State Police that they`ve greatly upped the manpower assigned to this case. They`re now bringing investigators in from all throughout Illinois to aid in this investigation -- not so much the search for Stacy, but in the criminal investigation.

BROOKS: Now, you know, increasing the number of investigators and the state police on this, it strikes me as a little weird they haven`t done this up until now. Why do you think that they`re now assigning more people? Are they getting more leads?

LEIBERMAN: Well, there`s a few things at play here. With all the national coverage, they are getting more leads. We`re getting leads in. But also remember now they have to look into the Kathleen Savio case, as well. This is something that they`re also looking into. So now they have two cases, and they have a lot of guys behind the scenes going through the forensics of Drew`s cars, what they got out of the house, the guns, the toothbrushes, et cetera. But now they`re also canvassing a number of different areas, looking for people who knew Drew. They`re trying to make sense of this timeline that Drew Peterson has given them.
BROOKS: Exactly. And there were apparently some discrepancies in the timeline, and that`s one of the things we were talking to Rick Mims about. But this Illinois River location, have they gone up there and looked around that area yet, or do they plan to?

LEIBERMAN: They have done a little bit of looking around that area, but the problem, Mike, and you know this as an investigator -- I mean, we were over Bolingbrook and then we flew a little bit out. There are so many possible areas to put a body. You`re talking about quarries, you`re talking about waterways, you`re talking about dense brush. So unfortunately, at this point, police have only been able to search a very, very small area based on very specific tips. And that`s why we hope -- we`re airing another segment on this next Saturday night. We hope to get more specific leads in so that the Illinois State Police can have more specifics, as well.

BROOKS: Very interesting. Right now, I want to go out to a very special guest joining us by phone, and that is the person we were just talking about moments ago, Rick Mims, a good friend of Drew Peterson, or maybe a former good friend of Drew Peterson. And he also knew Stacy Peterson very well. Rick thanks for joining us again.

RICK MIMS, FRIEND OF DREW PETERSON`S: How`re you doing?

BROOKS: Good, buddy. You really -- you really gave us a lot of good information on Friday and filled in a lot of the questions that we had. But I want to just go back for some of our viewers who may not have been with us. Tell us about your relationship with Drew Peterson.

MIMS: I`ve known Drew since I was about 13 years old, and I met him when I was stocking a cooler at the local convenience store. And once a few years went down the line, we worked together at a sports bar here in town. He was a hired police officer for security, I was a bar back (ph). And then later on, we worked together at the cable company here in town. We hung out, went out to dinner, did a little drinking.

BROOKS: Now, the bar he owned, was that the bar that he owned with Kathleen Savio?

MIMS: Yes.

BROOKS: It was?

MIMS: No, no. The one we worked at? No, no, no.

BROOKS: OK. OK. So that was before that?

MIMS: Correct.

BROOKS: OK. I got it.

MIMS: That would have been in the late `80s.

BROOKS: Late `80s. Now...

MIMS: Yes, before he owned the other bar.

BROOKS: Now, you know, one of the questions that I had today, Rick -- you know Stacy and you know Drew very well. Drew all of a sudden just decided within the last week or so to retire from the Bolingbrook Police Department after 29 years. Had he ever spoken to you at all about retiring before all this came up?

MIMS: Oh, yes. He was planning on retiring. He only had 10 days left to retire before all this came up.

BROOKS: Only 10 days?

MIMS: Yes.

BROOKS: Interesting. Now, this weekend, there was a vigil held. Were you at the vigil?

MIMS: No, I wasn`t back from New York in time.

BROOKS: But this weekend, though, you went up in the plane and went over the route that you and Drew -- you used to fly with Drew quite a bit?

MIMS: A few times, yes.

BROOKS: And the area that Jon was talking about -- you know, you`re from there. Describe that area to us. Is it a dense -- is it a very, very densely wooded ? Quarries, rivers? What`s along that route that he likes to fly, Rick?

MIMS: There`s the Illinois River, the Fox River, a lot of cornfields with dense, wooded brush, you know, in certain areas. But it`s really a rural area. Lots of -- like (INAUDIBLE) near Star (ph) Rock (ph), there`s a lot of wooded areas, a lot of trails, a lot of bike trails, a lot of quarries. There`s a lot of, you know, 80 to 120-foot deep quarries that are closed down now that are filled with water in this area.

BROOKS: Now, when is the water going to start freezing? And I know you`re right outside of Chicago and it gets extremely cold up there because I used to live in Minnesota for a while, and I know how cold it got there. Now, when does the water start freezing in Chicago this time of the year?

MIMS: Usually about the end of February -- I mean, end of March -- I mean, end of January, first of February, somewhere around there.

BROOKS: I want to go out to the phones. Rebecca from California, thanks for joining us.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hi. Thank you for taking my call.

BROOKS: Sure.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: My question is this. I`m having a problem with Drew Peterson saying his wife was cheating on him. First of all, it seems like he kept her on a tight leash. And another point I`d like to make is that wouldn`t there be some kind of a trail, whether it be paper or electronic, if she is cheating, which I doubt?

BROOKS: You know, I want to go out former NYPD deputy inspector Ron Schindel. Ron, the paper trail -- now, we know that they had two search warrants on the house and they got computers, cell phone records. What other kind of things are they going to be -- evidence are they going to be looking at to say, OK, let`s try to put together this timeline? Was there really another man?

RON SCHINDEL, FORMER NYPD DEPUTY INSPECTOR: Well, Mike, a few things they`re going to do, of course, are always electronic searches and paper searches. But nowadays, you can`t drive by a convenience store, you can`t drive by a gas station without going under a CCTV surveillance camera. She must have passed hundreds, if not thousands of CCTV surveillance systems while she was driving within 15 miles of her home. I`m sure investigators are going to start going to these various locations, asking them for the tapes around that date and going over them with a fine-toothed comb.

BROOKS: I want to go back to Jon Leiberman, correspondent for "America`s Most Wanted." Jon, do we have any idea at all -- you know, is law enforcement giving any insight into any kind of evidence that they have or any kind of evidence like Ron was talking about, any kind of, you know, video from stores, that kind of thing?

LEIBERMAN: Well, they`re trying to keep it close to the vest, Mike. What I can tell you is the grand jury is going to reconvene on Wednesday morning. They`re having a morning session this week. And state police has continued to hand over different bits of evidence to this grand jury.

They`re keeping it quiet for several reasons, as you know in law enforcement, but mainly because they`re really, really interested in this timeline that Drew has set out and trying to corroborate or contradict what he initially told investigators because we did confirm that in front of the grand jury, Drew took the 5th Amendment, so he did not, according to our sources, say anything to the grand jury. But police did speak to him in the hours shortly after Stacy had disappeared. So that is really a critical piece right there.

BROOKS: So he took the 5th during the grand jury. That`s amazing.
LEIBERMAN: Our sources have confirmed, yes, that he did indeed take the 5th Amendment when he was called in front of the grand jury about a week ago.

BROOKS: You know, right now, I want to uncage the attorneys. Here in New York, Alex Sanchez, defense attorney, and also Lauren Lake, defense attorney. OK, we`ve heard him again and again on TV. He finally has an attorney. Maybe he got this attorney from his television appeal that he made last week. And now we hear from Jon Leiberman that he took the 5th Amendment in the grand jury. Alex, what does that say to you?

ALEX SANCHEZ, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Well, the first question I have is how did that information come out? Because grand jury proceedings are supposed to be secret. And so there`s either a police officer or a district attorney or some person that is releasing this information that they`re not supposed to be doing. And as far as I`m concerned, that is already impairing the case that the prosecution is trying to build at this point.

BROOKS: Now Lauren, he`s lawyered up now. What does that say to you? And you know, does he -- do you think he needs an attorney right now?

LAUREN LAKE, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Absolutely. He has to have an attorney right now, and he`s doing the right thing. What I find to be the wrong thing is that the defense attorney and Mr. Peterson needs to take a page from the state. They say the state is keeping the case on the low. They need to be a little bit more on the low.

All of these appearances and playing up to the camera and photo shoots, I`m not liking it at all. And what I really don`t like about it is that Mr. Peterson`s not coming off as a very lovable character. And so the more we get to know him, unfortunately, the more negative commentary we have about his personality and the way he seems to come across. I don`t like that at all from a defense perspective.

BROOKS: Alex, do you agree with that? He`s not presenting himself in the best light?

SANCHEZ: No, he has buried himself, and I don`t know if he can ever get himself out of this hole. Going on TV, using very unfortunate phrases, for example, when he said that, you know, every month, his wife would ask for a divorce when she was having her period. I mean, this is very offensive statements. How could he ever recover from this? The only thing he can do at this point is simply be quiet, not go on the media, and you know, release information through his lawyer that he`s very concerned about the whereabouts of his wife.

LAKE: And Mike, another line -- I hate (ph) to go off of Alex -- is the one that said, This is hilarious. What`s hilarious? What is hilarious about your wife missing? This isn`t how I planned to spend my retirement. Mr. Peterson, go somewhere and sit down!

BROOKS: Well, you know, this is one of the first times I`m going to have to agree with both of you joining us tonight. I think he needs to just go back in his house, shut his mouth. And his attorney -- you know, his attorney needs to get a publicist or something. But look, I don`t think he`s receiving really good advice. Not at all.

SANCHEZ: No, I have a serious doubt whether or not his attorney is probably advising him. This is a fellow who does not have media experience. He doesn`t know what it`s like to speak on television and to be interviewed by reporters. And instead, he`s going on the media and just answering more and more questions. All he`s essentially doing is denying it. He needs to stop.

BROOKS: And on the "Today" show, they`d asked him a question, he looked to his attorney, like, Can I answer this?

We`re going to talk more about that, .......

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Former Chicago cop Drew Peterson back on national TV this morning. Now, it`s been three weeks since his wife Stacy disappeared, and while her family and friends wait for answers, suspicion is swirling around her husband. He is a suspect in her disappearance but denies any involvement. And then, of course, last week, we saw the body of his previous wife, his third wife exhumed, along with new questions about her death. It had initially been ruled an accident. The new autopsy results won`t be out for a few days, but his third wife`s family did hire an independent pathologist who concluded Kathleen Savio was murdered.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BROOKS: I`m Mike Brooks, in for Nancy Grace. Well, Drew Peterson is again saying he wants the media to leave him alone. He doesn`t want them camped out side of his house anymore. He wants them to go away. But it seems like he hasn`t met a camera that he hasn`t fell in love with. He was back on the "Today" show for the second time. Let`s take a listen.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

LAUER: Are you worried about her, Mr. Peterson?

PETERSON: Of course. You know, your wife leaves you and you have kids at home, you`re very much worried about her.

LAUER: Although you think she is with another man, are you worried that she may never come back to be a mother to these children?

PETERSON: I don`t know. I have no idea.

LAUER: I said are you worried?

PETERSON: This is something that -- am I worried?

LAUER: Are you worried that she may never come back to be a mother to your children?

PETERSON: Yes, I am. Kids need a mom.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BROOKS: That was video of Drew Peterson on the "Today" show. Peterson talks about the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy, and the impact it will have on their kids.

Right now, I want to go out to Robi Ludwig, psychotherapist and author of "Till Death Do Us Part." Robi, you`ve seen a number of his appearances now. Now the second time on the "Today" show. As a psychotherapist, what do you think of his body language and what he has to say and just his whole demeanor?

ROBI LUDWIG, PSYCHOTHERAPIST: He has a very, very bizarre demeanor. He is so obviously unempathetic. And also, he sounds a little annoyed and angry, like, Why are you asking me all of these questions? My wife left me.

But what I really do believe is that he thinks his wife did leave him, and that`s one of the things that probably prompted his aggressiveness towards her. So I think in his mind, he feels that she left him, he`s unloved, and therefore, that`s what happened. He`s somehow justified.

Of course, I don`t want to say that he`s guilty, but you know, this is a very dangerous person, somebody who`s angry, feels left, and that`s very often what happens with controlling husbands. They very often get violent when they feel that they are losing their wife. And instead of lose them, they take the ultimate in control and they basically eliminate their wives.

BROOKS: Well, you know, when we heard from wife number two, Vicki Connolly, just last weekend, she was saying very, very controlling, very abusive. But we`ve now heard from wife number one, and we`re going to talk about that in just one second.

But I want to go out to the lines. Ellen from New Jersey, thanks for joining us.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hi. Thanks for taking my call. Can they get a search warrant and go in with the cadaver dogs into his house?

BROOKS: Kathy Chaney, reporter from "The Chicago Defender," did they go into his house? I mean, I know early on, we saw that there were some dogs there. Did they go into the house with any cadaver dogs, do we know?

CHANEY: I believe they went around the house, but not inside the house. But they did come and execute two search warrants. And he was cooperative with the first.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

PETERSON: It`s mind-boggling. You know, it`s just like people are looking at me under the magnifying glass, and it`s very upsetting. I mean, what I had for breakfast is a big -- is newsworthy. So it`s crazy. Please go home. Thanksgiving is the next couple days. Please go home. Please leave me alone. Please don`t get involved in my (INAUDIBLE)

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BROOKS: I`m Mike Brooks, in for Nancy Grace. Well, wife number four still missing, wife number three exhumed last week. We`ve have heard from wife number two and now from wife number one.

I want to go right out to Jon Leiberman, correspondent for "America`s Most Wanted." Jon, what do we know about Carol Brown?

LEIBERMAN: They were high school sweethearts. They were married for a short time. Carol did come out today on "Good Morning America" and say that Drew was never abusive her, although he did exhibit some signs of controlling behavior.

BROOKS: I want to go back out to Rick Mims, friend of Drew Peterson. Rick, would Stacy Peterson have left her kids and just got up and left with another man?

MIMS: I don`t believe so.

BROOKS: And you know, you`ve known her for a long, long time. What kind of person is she?

MIMS: She`s a great person. She`s the type of person that walks in the room and lights the room up. She`s funny. You never know what`s going to come out of her mouth. She`s just a great, great mother and a good friend.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I asked him point blank, I said, do you want Stacy back? And he told me, it`s questionable if I want Stacy back. It would take a lot of talking for that to happen. And in terms of the media coverage, I mean, come on, he`s eating it up. He was on the lawn doing a photo shoot for People magazine. Your fourth wife is missing, your third wife`s death may very well be a homicide, and you`re out front doing photo shoots for People magazine? Come on.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BROOKS: I`m Mike Brooks in for Nancy Grace. Thanks for being with us. Well, wife number four, Stacy, is still missing, wife number three has just had two autopsies performed on her exhumed body. Want to go out to Jon Leiberman of "America`s Most Wanted."

Jon, talk about the (INAUDIBLE) -- the autopsies. How did that all go down?

JON LEIBERMAN, "AMERICA`S MOST WANTED": Well, here is what happened. Dr. Michael Baden, the renowned pathologist, was asked by the Savio family to come in and do an autopsy. There was already going to be another independent autopsy done as well. Dr. Baden is a paid consultant for FOX News, OK.

But today, Drew Peterson`s attorney came out and said, you know what, this was all done for entertainment, bringing Baden in. He was paid by FOX. But Peterson`s attorney`s real gripe with the autopsy was that he believed that Dr. Baden already had decided that it was going to be a homicide. Even before he got into the room to do an autopsy, he said that he already had this predisposed notion that it was going to be a homicide.

But, Mike, the problem there is, if you take that rationale, then that would mean that this prosecutor can`t try this case because when the prosecutor had the body exhumed, they basically said, we`re afraid this was a homicide. That`s why they exhumed the body.

BROOKS: Exactly. I mean, and that`s the reason. In the exhumation order, they talk about that. And they talk about the staging. I want to go out to Dr. Marty Makary, he`s a physician and professor of public health at Johns Hopkins.

Thanks for being with us, Doctor.

DR. MARTY MAKARY, JOHNS HOPKINS: Great, thanks.

BROOKS: Well, OK. We have got one autopsy, we`ve got another autopsy, an independent autopsy by Kathleen Savio`s family. What do you make of this?

MAKARY: Well, Michael Baden is one of the most highly respected physicians in America. I mean, criticizing him is like criticizing the pope for stealing something. His credentials are impeccable. Chief medical examiner for New York City. I mean, his autopsy results, if you look at them carefully, he says that the findings were accurate from the previous autopsy but the conclusion was a mistake.

BROOKS: Now was it normal -- is it normal at all, number one, to have a body exhumed and then to have two autopsies performed on the body?

MAKARY: It`s highly unusual to have a situation like that. But this is a highly unusual situation. You`ve got a law enforcement official`s family member here involved for more than one wife and that is an unusual circumstance.

He has been in law enforcement for 29 years. There can be pressure on a local medical examiner to have a certain conclusion. But look at his reaction. He has got an inappropriate, flat affect. That`s not right. We see people in the hospital lose family members all the time and they tend to remember the best attributes of their family member, even if they didn`t get along and hated each other.

BROOKS: I want to go out to Robi Ludwig. Just what he was saying, his flat affect. Robi, you know, that is just not normal?

ROBI LUDWING, PSYCHOTHERAPIST: No, it`s not. And so that`s the problem with Drew Peterson presenting himself in front of the media. First of all, it seems that he likes the attention, that he needs the attention and he doesn`t come -- he is not a good actor. He doesn`t come off as somebody really cares that his wife is missing. It sounds like he`s angry with her.

And you know, you`ve got to say, you know, if you look at Scott Peterson, of course, and we all remember that case, at least Scott Peterson came off as somewhat likable. Yes, he did seem guilty, but there was more of a likable affect. So especially when you look at Drew Peterson compared to Scott Peterson, it`s quite astonishing.

BROOKS: It really is. Let`s go back out to the lines. Jewel from Michigan, thanks for being with us.

CALLER: Hi. Good evening. Your panel already has answered one of my questions about, do I think he`s really enjoying the media attention. He complains about he`s losing weight and everything, but when it comes down to it, he`s in front of the cameras every other day.

My second question was, what does your panel think about his first wife`s denial that, OK, he was a little jealous, but he really wasn`t abusive. Does the panel think that she was scared of him?

BROOKS: Robi Ludwig.

LUDWIG: I mean, that`s a one possibility, number one, she could be scared of him, number two, he could have gotten progressively worse over time. So what happens is if you don`t get better, you can get worse. So it`s very possible with Drew Peterson, the more controlling and abusive he got, that in some ways somehow that helped him feel stronger and more in control and so he just did it and it just got out of control.

BROOKS: Carol Brown, wife number one, was on "Good Morning America" today. Let`s have a listen to what she had to say.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

DIANE SAWYER, HOST, "GOOD MORNING AMERICA": Were there any signs of controlling behavior, the things that you`re hearing about now?

CAROL BROWN, 1ST WIFE OF DREW PETERSON: No, there really wasn`t. You know, in the beginning, we just had a normal relationship.

SAWYER: And why did the marriage end?

BROWN: Apparently we somewhat grew apart and then one day I did discover that he was having an affair.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BROOKS: That was video of Drew Peterson`s first wife on "Good Morning America." Carol Brown says she`s stunned to learn about allegations that Peterson may have been abusive and controlling during his other marriages. Want to go back out to Jon Leiberman from "America`s Most Wanted."

Jon, what do we know and were you able to talk to Carol Brown at all while you have been out there?

LEIBERMAN: No, we visited her house and we were not able to talk to her. We have talked to members of Vicki Connelly`s family as well. They insist that Drew Peterson was very threatening toward his second wife.

You know what is interesting, too, Mike, is that Drew also has a very small circle of friends around him who are still buying his story, and just to be fair to Drew, they believe the goods that Drew is selling right now. So I did want to point that out. He does have a couple loyal friends who say, you know what? Show me some evidence. Drew hasn`t had anything shown against him, according to them. And they need to see something before they`ll come out and say -- you know, until they`ll condemn Drew.

BROOKS: I want to go back out to Rick Mims, friend of Drew Peterson.

Rick, you were supporting him from the very beginning, when was that it you decided, wait a minute, I can`t support this guy anymore?

RICK MIMS, FRIEND OF DREW PETERSON: When the timelines that he was giving me about when Stacy left -- he woke up at 11:00 Sunday morning, he said Stacy was already gone. There`s conflicting reports because both cars were in the driveway from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

And that has been stated by several different people in the neighborhood, including Sharon (ph), who was already suspicious watching the house that day because of what Stacy had told her a few days before that. And when I asked him about that, he told me that Sharon was lying about the timelines.

And right then, you know, kind of put a doubt in my mind because I`ve got a pretty good feeling about Sharon and Sharon doesn`t lie.

BROOKS: Interesting, very interesting, especially you being that close to Drew and being there in Bolingbrook, it`s just -- the timeline, you`re right, it doesn`t seem like it really adds up.

I want to go back out to the attorneys, Alex Sanchez joining us here in New York, noted defense attorney, also Lauren Lake, another noted defense attorney here in New York City.

Do you think the prosecution will be interested in wife number one, since it`s -- her story is totally different from what we heard from wife number two? And would you think that they would be called to come in to testify?

ALEX SANCHEZ, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Well, you know, Mike, this is one of the bright spots in Drew Peterson`s defense at the present time, because wife number one, Carol Brown, she is essentially a character witness for Drew Peterson because she`s not saying anything that is hurtful towards him. She`s basically saying he was a decent guy but the marriage dissolved because they both went their separate ways. So actually she`s supporting him in that sense at this time.

BROOKS: Jaime from New Mexico, thanks for joining us.

CALLER: Hi, Mike. Thanks for taking my call. I`ve been thinking about something that has been bothering me. I have a son, and if my ex- husband took off with another woman and I thought he left me, I would still plead to the media for him to contact my son. This man has been telling his children that their mother is on vacation. You know, how -- I don`t understand how a person cannot be concerned about their children and how are the older children taking this?

BROOKS: That`s a great question. Jon Leiberman, how are the older children taking this? You were just out there.

LEIBERMAN: Well, this is hard for the entire family. And let me give you a sense, when I spoke to Drew Peterson, he actually told me he was angry with Stacy for creating the media circus. Look, his two older kids - - and remember he has six kids and one stepchild, that`s important to know, he has seven...

BROOKS: And we found out his oldest son -- one of his older sons is also a police officer.

LEIBERMAN: And his wife is a cop as well.

BROOKS: Interesting.

LEIBERMAN: The son`s wife is a cop as well. Yes, so there`s law enforcement in the family. But yes, six kids, one stepchild and the two older ones that are in the picture right now have been questioned by police. So of course this isn`t easy for any of them. Stacy`s kids are the two youngest ones, and, I mean, come on, it has got to be hard for them to go to bed every night and not have their mom.

              ------------------------------------------------------


Bought this over as it touches on the timeline and the fact that DP was going to retire anyway. Alot of interesting bits in here. Bolded a couple of places for anyone who doesn't have time to read through. If there's a leak from the Grand Jury, my bets on Drew. He stands to gain the most if the case falls apart.
My thoughts on him retiring are that he knew he was being investigated and knew he had to otherwise he could have been demoted and lost a lot of his pension or fired and lost it all.

I've been hesitant to put this out there, but is it possible that the 'it' is the urn with Stacy's sister's ashes that was retrieved from DP's house.

Woman's body found in vacant lot in Harvey
By Jason Meisner

Tribune staff reporter

7:37 AM CST, November 19, 2007

 The body of an unidentified woman was found overnight in a vacant lot in south suburban Harvey, authorities said.

The partially clothed body was discovered Sunday evening in the 15000 block of Maplewood Avenue, according to a Cook County medical examiner's office spokesman. Investigators were able to determine the body is that of a Caucasian woman but no approximate age was available.

She is not believed to be connected to any of the recent well-publicized missing persons cases.

The woman was pronounced dead at 7:25 p.m. Sunday at the scene, the spokesman said. An autopsy is scheduled for this morning.

The body appeared to have been chewed by animals before it was found but no other trauma was evident, authorities said.

Harvey police were not immediately available for comment.

I guess finding all these other missing or murdered people or even who maybe died as the result of natural causes or accidents is a sort of side benefit of these searches.

Drew Peterson Admits To Being "Controlling", Not Abusive

 
Web Extra Video: Peterson on GMA

(WBBM/CBS2) - Drew Peterson was back on TV this morning. He admitted to being "controlling", but not abusive and said his wife Stacy's PMS contributed to their marital problems.

Police have named the 53-year-old Peterson as a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy, 23, and authorities have called the case a possible homicide. He has denied any involvement in her disappearance.

Peterson appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America" today.

The former Bolingbrook Police sergeant told ABC, "Basically, I'm a good person. I do good things."

He also said Stacy suffered from premenstrual syndrome and blamed that for many of their problems.

"When she was menstruating, hungry or tired, she was agitated and she would ask me about a divorce and talk about divorce on a monthly basis," Peterson said. "Then, when the cycle passed, she was OK and we were in love again and happy."

The Chicago Tribune reports the case has become the Illinois State Police's top priority.

Peterson repeated his previously-said message to Stacy on this morning's "Good Morning America" appearance.

"Make yourself known. Make yourself seen. Come out publicly. That's it. Let this be over," Peterson told ABC.

Peterson explained why he has not joined the search for his missing wife.

"Why would I go search for someone who I don't believe is there? Why would I go beat the weeds in the cold? It's a waste of time," Peterson said.

Peterson also denied allegations that he threatened to kill three of his four wives.

"The ex-wives saying such a thing, they're getting even I would say," he said. "For me divorcing them or cheating on them or whatever," he told ABC.

Drew Peterson's mother is speaking out to defend her son. She tells the Chicago Sun-Times she believes her daughter-in-law, Stacy, left her family to be with another man.

Peterson, a man who claims to be a victim of the news media, has become a man of the news media.

Drew Peterson spoke with local and national reporters no less than three times Monday; all to tell his side of the story.

His mother spoke to the Sun-Times Monday and the newspaper's headline on Tuesday read: "Drew's Mom's Message To Stacy: 'I'm ashamed of her for putting her family through this.'"

Drew Peterson's mother, Betty Morphey, also said, "I could swear on a Bible that he would never hurt anyone at any time."

For his own part, when Peterson was asked by reporters on Monday "What's the hurt and pain," he laughed and said "The hurt and pain is all the media in front of my house, that's the hurt and pain."

Not that his wife is missing? "Yeah, it is the wife is missing, but right now, look at what's going on here."

The disappearance of Stacy Peterson more than three weeks ago put Drew Peterson in the center of a media storm, one he says he's trying to help his children weather. Police have named him a suspect in Stacy's disappearance.

"Sometimes I have heart to hearts with them individually and try to explain it to them the best I can, but that's the best I can do," Drew Peterson said.

Call it one way to deal with all the attention he's getting for Stacy's case and for the re-investigation of the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Officials returned her body to its grave Monday after exhuming it for further autopsy work.

The result of two new autopsies? A forensic pathologist hired by the family has said he believes Savio's death was actually homicide.

A Will County Coroner's jury originally ruled it accidental. Their second autopsy confirmed it was a drowning, but has yet to rule on whether the death was accidental or murder.

Drew Peterson answered questions about reports of possible ties he might have had to someone on that jury.

"It's nothing that I called him or asked him to do ... I wasn't even aware he was on that jury," he said."

The former Bolingbrook police sergeant also took time to defend what some have criticized as odd behavior on his part.

"I've joked all my life. This is my way of dealing with hurt and pain is I joke, I laugh. I could stand here and cry for you, would that make you happy? This is who I am. I'm doing the best I can."

Peterson also posed for a spread in People Magazine on Monday.

He has said he believes Stacy, a mother of two, left him for another man and he has denied any involvement in Savio's death.

Meanwhile, CBS 2 News has learned Drew Peterson's new attorney Joel Brodsky was disciplined three years ago for failing to deposit money for a client in a separate trust account.

The Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission determined Brodsky wasn't trying to steal the money and suspended him for three months.

Pray Stacy is starting her life anew; Given his history, she should have known he was trouble
 
Mary Mitchell, The Chicago Sun-Times
 

I hope Stacy Peterson did run off with another man.

I hope she got so fed up with Drew Peterson's mess that she split even though she would be leaving two young children behind.

A lot of people are convinced that Peterson, who has been named as a suspect in his wife's disappearance, is lying when he says his much younger wife left him for another man. Obviously, the alternative explanation for the woman's whereabouts would be a greater tragedy.

If Peterson did, in fact, harm his fourth wife, it would mean that their children will have to grow up without a mother and a father. It would also mean that Peterson, who recently resigned from the Bolingbrook Police Department, is a classic psychopath.

What else, other than a mental disorder, could explain Peterson's appearances on the "Today" show where he asked his missing wife to "come home, tell people where you are," if he indeed is responsible for her disappearance?

This latest Peterson case has captured the national media's attention in a way few cases do. The family's dysfunctional drama has brought celebrity journalists to town and has landed the man who should be disgraced on a morning news program.

Case not going away soon

Maybe we -- and by that I mean the media -- are obsessed with this story because the Petersons share the same last name as the couple in another notorious missing person's case: Laci and Scott Peterson. Scott, who was also exposed as an adulterer, is awaiting the executioner for killing his wife and their unborn son over a Christmas holiday.

One would think that given the wall-to-wall coverage the first Peterson case generated, any husband who still harbored a satanic desire to rid himself of a wife by way of murder would have abandoned the sick idea.

But police officials suspect that Drew Peterson not only got rid of his fourth wife, but may be responsible for the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

So this is not a case that is going to fall off the radar screen any time soon. We're likely to be looking at Drew Peterson's unrepentant mug until his wife's body is found, dead or alive.

Yet, I can't help but notice that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Interest in similar tragedies involving women of color never reach this kind of frenzy.

For instance, we still don't know what happened to Nailah Franklin, the 28-year-old South Side woman whose body was found in a wooded area in Calumet Park in September. Police still have not confirmed how Franklin died, nor have they charged anyone with the crime.

Would she want to come home?

And a gruesome discovery last week in the Washington Park neighborhood failed to make national news. The bodies of two black women who were strangled and set on fire were found in two garbage cans at different locations in the Washington Park neighborhood. Police are also investigating the disappearance of 14-year-old Deanna Glass in that same neighborhood.

Meanwhile, the media will not rest or let you rest until we get some answers about Stacy's disappearance.

And the irony is, given the dirty laundry we've aired, if Stacy were alive, would she even want to come home at this point?

It's scandalous, really, that at 17, Stacy made the poor choice of hooking up with someone else's husband. Drew Peterson was still married to his third wife, Kathleen Savio, when he began seeing Stacy. Savio, who learned of the affair and divorced Drew in 2003, was found dead in a bathtub in her Bolingbrook home a year later.

Peterson's other ex-wives have also said Peterson cheated on them.

Given her husband's history, Stacy must have worried privately that she would have to reap what was sown. After all, it is impossible to build one's happiness on someone else's misery. And there's no reason to expect that a man who cheats on his first wife won't cheat on another, and another, and another.

Thankfully, there's been no talk -- so far -- of Peterson abusing his children the way he allegedly abused his wives. I'm hoping that Stacy had an epiphany that led her to escape her unhappy circumstances. If that's the case, one day her children will understand why she had to vanish. One day, they will be able to forgive her for leaving them behind.

Unlike Drew Peterson, at 23, Stacy can start over.

I pray she's somewhere taking that second chance.

I have to go back and check SP sister Cassandra's video interview again where I think she said she visited the house that morning after speaking to DP on the phone and the stepson said "Mom & Dad had a fight."  Now how could DP & SP have had a fight if she wasn't there when he woke up.  See what I mean?
Also, witnesses said both cars were in the driveway then.  Then I guess DP moved her car?  Remember Cassandra said she heard car keys jingle when she talked to him or something, so she didn't believe he was at home like he said he was when she spoke to him on the phone.  Does anyone know about him moving the car or about any of this? :-?

Also, wife #1 must be completely in denial.  She said he was very controlling but not abusive or something like that.  That is abusive!  Some of these women don't know what it is to have respect and a loving relationship! :sad:

How about these lines:
DP:  "Make yourself known.  Make yourself seen.  That's it.  Let this be over."
- who talks like that?  Nobody!!! Wouldn't you say, "Stacy, I love you.  The kids miss you so much.  We can figure this out, please, please call us, we love you!"
Come on.  No one talks like that.  That is beyond freaky.  :-|

How about these lines:
DP:  "Why would I search for someone who I don't believe is there?"
- Huh???????
Even if you think she left with another man, you would be distraught that your wife and the children's mother is missing!  Hello.  No concern for SP his missing wife at all??????????? :-x

How about these lines:
DP:  "Its questionable if I want Stacy back."
- that's what they say he said!!!  Beware world! :shock:

How about these lines:
DP: "What's the hurt and pain?"  He laughed and said, "The hurt and pain is the media in front of my house.  That's the hurt and  pain."
????  Sorry folks, but if anyone in my family goes missing - you can bring on the media until they are found.  He is more worried about his own pain of being accused, then of finding his wife who he says isn't  out there. :2doh:

How about these lines:
DP's Mom who says she believes DP story that SP ran off with another man:
"I'm ashamed of her for putting her family through this."
What a freak for a Mom! :-x
Who says that of a missing person!
OMG - that poor girl SP - what a _____ of a mother-in-law - dear DP's mother.

I think they need to search the inside of his house in his basement with the cadaver dogs, which they said have not been inside the home yet.

He is making a bad name for all policemen.
Could he be any colder?  Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Kindof reads like a horror flick.

STACY PETERSON CASE | Mom of husband believes his missing wife just ran off and is still alive

November 20, 2007
BY KARA SPAK AND ANDREW HERRMANN Staff Reporters
'He would never hurt anyone'
Drew Peterson's mom, Betty Morphey, had strong words Monday for Stacy Peterson, who she believes left Peterson and their two children and ran off with another man, as her son contends.

"I would tell her I'm ashamed of her for putting the family through this," Morphey said. "She knows where she is."

In a lengthy interview, Morphey, 79, spoke about how heartbreaking she finds the insinuation that her son would harm anyone. Stacy's family believes the young mother would never have left her two children and fear she is dead.

"I could swear on a Bible that he would never hurt anyone at any time," Morphey said. "I'm proud he's my son and I feel so bad he's got to go through all this because of her. She was just too young." There is a 30-year age difference between Drew and Stacy Peterson.

On Monday morning, Morphey watched her son's ex-wife Carol Brown on ''Good Morning America'' instead of Peterson and his attorney on the "Today" show.

Both interviews took place the same day the body of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, was re-buried. Savio's body was exhumed Nov. 13 after Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow said there were "strong indications" her death was staged to look like an accident.

Had Morphey watched "Today," she would have seen her son say he was "worried" about his missing wife, Stacy, but again maintain she ran away with another man.

"Your wife leaves you . . . and you're very much worried about her," said Peterson, who has been named a suspect in his wife's disappearance.

Peterson also wanted Stacy, his fourth wife, to "publicly show herself so we can clear all this up."

Peterson's new lawyer, Joel Brodsky, added he doesn't expect his client will be charged in either the disappearance of Stacy or the 2004 death of Savio, who was found dead in her bathtub.

Peterson said he was surprised by the recent comments of his second wife, who has described Peterson as violent and threatening during their marriage. Vicki Connolly was married to Peterson for 10 years beginning in 1982. "I thought we were friends," Peterson said of Connolly.

Meanwhile, Carol Brown, Peterson's first wife, appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America." She said Peterson was attentive during their marriage and a good father to their two sons. "This is very unbelievable," she said.

"In the beginning we had a normal relationship. We did things together," said Brown. He didn't like her to go out in the evenings with girlfriends, but Brown did not indicate she thought that was unreasonable.

"I did discover that he was having an affair. I guess that was the beginning when we started being separated," said Brown.

Asked if her ex-husband was capable of murder, she replied: "The Drew that I knew, would never expect that."

Morphey said Monday that Brown was a "lovely girl" who spoke the truth about her husband on morning television.

"They got married so young," Morphey said. Drew Peterson and Carol Brown married when she was still in high school and he was a recent graduate. "That's why that didn't last. I wish he would have stayed married to her forever."

Morphey said she didn't know anything about allegations of adultery that Peterson's former wives have leveled against him.

"I can't picture him doing anything to hurt anyone," she said.

Morphey said she has lost weight over the last three weeks and is sick to her stomach over the idea that her son, a former police officer and military veteran, had anything to do with his third wife's death and fourth wife's disappearance.

"All of this is not necessary," she said. "She didn't have to walk out and leave everybody stranded and not knowing what to do. All she has to do is call and say she's fine."

Drew Peterson: Is He The Media's Monster Now?   :roll:

Posted Nov 20th 2007 10:07AM by Ben Greenman
Filed under: Scandal, Media, Crime


The nation's desperate hunger for celebrity crime cases has reared up once again with the disappearance of Stacy Peterson. No, not Laci Peterson -- Stacy Peterson -- though the mistake is understandable. The Bolingbrook, Ill. mother of two has been missing since October 28, and in recent weeks, there has been increased scrutiny of her husband, Drew, a former police sergeant whose previous wife, his third, died under mysterious circumstances. One of the most interesting things about the case has been the way that media attention seems to have changed Drew Peterson.


<there is a video here in this spot>


Initially, Drew Peterson kept mostly quiet about the case, claiming to neighbors and local news reporters that his wife had discussed infidelity and was probably with another man. Then national media like Fox News and NBC started coming to town, and Drew Peterson noticed. It was his chance for celebrity, and possibly his only chance to have any freedom before the noose began to tighten around his neck.

So, what does a man do if he is (maybe) a murderer and the national media comes to call? Well, at first Peterson was hostile, condemning reporters for their whorish ways ("What do you get when you cross the media with a pig?" he said. "You get nothing, because there's some things a pig won't do"). Then he was complicit. He spoke to Geraldo Rivera (afterwards claiming that his answers had been coached), went on the "Today" show (where he mostly let his lawyer speak but where his body language, evidently, said "a lot"), and even posed for People magazine. And the media seems to be stepping very close to the limits of objectivity after the body of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, was exhumed and re-examined by county coroners to determine if the death was staged, Fox News flew in a pathologist from New York for a private autopsy. Not totally satisfied with their coverage, "Today" invited Star Jones to comment.


So what exactly is the media's role here? Everybody likes a good wife-murder case now and again, but is it too much? Are reporters helping to create a monster? Are they using the drug of fame (or at least flash fame) as a kind of truth serum, hoping that Drew Peterson's id will overpower his superego and somehow incriminate him in his wife's disappearance? Or is it just another day at the office for cable news channels that get bored (and get lower ratings) covering unappetizing stories like the war? To me, it seems like the networks are starved for a story with a simple moral and a clear-cut villain. And in that regard, this case is a win-win. If Drew Peterson is eventually arrested for his wife's murder, then he was the black-hatted cowboy who strode out of the saloon and was caught by the glare of the cameras. The story runs its course.


There is also a POLL on the website...

Bolingbrook police chief says Peterson brings shame to department
 By Ben Bradley

November 20, 2007 (CHICAGO) - Drew Peterson may have some legal problems related to his old job. Bolingbrook's police chief has said Peterson brought shame to everyone wearing a badge.

As soon as Wednesday, the chief said he will meet with prosecutors to review a series of department violations that the chief says may rise to a level of criminal conduct.

Bolingbrook's top cop, Raymond McGury, says Drew Peterson, 53, has brought disgrace and disdain on his department while soaking up the national spotlight as a suspect in his 23-year-old wife Stacy's disappearance. McGury says his former sergeant has demonstrated conduct unbecoming an officer.

"It's the actions of one person, and I understand it and the perceptions, but I don't have to like it," said McGury.

The Bolingbrook Police and Fire Commission said it had no choice but to accept Peterson's resignation, which makes him eligible to begin receiving a $72,000 a year pension.

Behind closed doors, McGury talked about serious internal violations by Peterson over the last year. They do not include anything involving the death or disappearance of Peterson's wives. He was suspended in September for serious lack of judgment involving a police pursuit. The chief says it is a pursuit that never should have happened and taht he felt an internal investigation might have been serious enough to bring Peterson's termination.

McGury was not in his position at the time of the death of Kathleen Savio, Peterson's third wife.

Peterson declined to comment on his old boss' claims. Peterson said he has received eight death threats from all over the country from people who blame him for all of the negative attention brought upon Bolingbrook.

I blame the entire Bolingbrook police department because Drew Peterson has been doing this stuff for years and they never did anything about it.  They knew he killed his wife and they turned a blind eye because they didn't want to look bad because they had a rouge cop in their department.  He should have been relieved from his duty and they kept him on.  How is it a police officer stalks his wife while on duty.  How is it an entire neighborhood is afraid of this guy.  He didn't have power he was just a violent man and they let it happen.

If attention wasn't given to Stacy's murder by the media does anyone really think Bolingbrook was going to do an internal investigation on Peterson.  No they would have let him retire and kept everything quiet.

Just got a call from my producer Steph Watts (on the ground in Bolingbrook, Illinois) - Right now Steve Carcerano, who lives two doors from where Kathleen Savio lived and who discovered her body, is on his way to the grand jury to testify. (Note he was there the last 2 Wednesdays but never called in…so today he will probably testify.)

San,

I tend to agree that if the third wife's death had been properly investigated, perhaps Stacey would not be missing right now.

However, as always seems to be the case, there is a new Chief of Police and Greta keeps telling us that we shouldn't blame him for what happened before.

OK, so can I blame Peterson's co-workers for the failure to investigate?  These things don't just happen but are the result of somebody somewhere failing to do their job.

The woman who told Drew no
PETERSON CASE | 'A voice inside of me ... said there's something wrong'

Kyle Piry met Drew Peterson in the early '80s when he showed up at the gas station where she worked to investigate a gas theft. (Tom Cruze/Sun-Times)

November 21, 2007
BY STEFANO ESPOSITO Staff Reporter/sesposito@suntimes.com

Drew Peterson gave her an engagement ring.

Together, they picked out a china pattern.

In the end, though, Kyle Piry resisted the mature charms of a man who has persuaded four other women to become Mrs. Peterson. But rebuffing the Bolingbrook police officer in the early 1980s came with a price, Piry, 46, told the Chicago Sun-Times this week.

"He would follow me and stalk me after I broke up with him," Piry said. "He would pull me over on a Friday or Saturday night and give me tickets for stupid stuff, like bald tires. They were ridiculous things."

At one point, Peterson came to the Bolingbrook hair salon where Piry worked and arrested her for accumulating too many parking tickets -- a trumped-up charge, Piry says.

Piry said she had to talk to some of Peterson's cop friends to persuade her ex-fiance to drop the charges.

Drew Peterson refused to discuss his relationship with Piry.

"You guys are reaching," he told the Sun-Times late Tuesday. "I remember her. I was engaged to her."

Peterson has been named a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, who vanished Oct. 28. Authorities are re-examining the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

Peterson has said he has done nothing wrong and believes Stacy Peterson left him, possibly for another man.

Piry was in her early 20s when she first encountered the handsome, mustachioed police officer. She worked part-time at a Bolingbrook gas station while attending beauty school. Peterson arrived in uniform to investigate a gas theft. The police officer -- seven years her senior -- wasted no time in showing interest.

"He asked if I would be available to date," Piry said.

Peterson was bold, charming and liked to linger in front of the mirror, Piry recalled. He asked her to marry him after only four months of dating. Piry accepted because she was young and smitten.

But four months later, Piry called it off because she wasn't ready to become step-mother to Peterson's two young children from his first wife. And, "There was a voice inside of me that said there's something wrong here," Piry said.

Peterson appeared devastated, Piry said. She took pity on him, and ended up at his house one night about a week after the break-up. Piry said she found "long black hairs" in Peterson's bed.

"I'm thinking, 'you're so distraught, but you've had someone else in your bed in a week,' " Piry said.

In the weeks that followed, Piry said, Peterson began to watch her -- sometimes from afar, but sometimes he'd pull up behind her and write her a ticket.

"He was sarcastic, and he'd get that sort of smirky smile," Piry said.

About a year after the break-up, Drew Peterson refused to leave her alone, she said.

In 1983 -- by this time Peterson was already married to his second wife -- Peterson and another officer arrested Piry as she arrived at work, Piry said. The officers said Piry had amassed too many parking tickets, Piry said.

She was ordered into Peterson's cruiser and fingerprinted at the Bolingbrook police station, Piry said.

Bolingbrook police Tuesday confirmed Piry's 1983 arrest, but did not release further details.

Piry says Peterson stopped following her shortly after the arrest, and she didn't get any more parking tickets from him.

Now married and working as a travel agent, Piry is following news reports about Peterson and the women in his life. And she's struck by something he once told her.

"He said I need somebody to love or care for," Piry said. "He never said I want you or I need you."

This is why we need even stronger Violence Against Women Laws.  It is a sad fact that police do not want to get involved in domestic disputes and despite the fact that there are actually fewer injuries involved in that kind of call, police are often hesitant to respond and will claim to the contrary.

In my state, a stalker has to make a CREDIBLE threat before they will do anything.  Not just a threat but one which they are fully capable of carrying out.  Meanwhile the one being stalked, almost always a female, has her life totally ruined because of some nut.  I had a judge once tell me it was nothing but misplaced affection on the part of the stalker.  To his credit, he did order it stopped but the very idea!  As though the stalker's motive makes it OK????  It was like a dark cloud hanging over every aspect of my life and being followed is scary and upsetting no matter what the motive might be!

How can our lawmakers just ignore this when it is so rampant in this country?  Unless it happens to someone in their family, apparently they just don't care and only in recent years have there been any laws which address these kinds of issues at all specifically.  There needs to be more done to protect women and children.  That should be obvious to any thinking person who reads the news.

Unfortunately, that would seem to exclude most politicians who are too busy fighting each other to worry about us peasants!

Peterson: Sociopath or Desperate House Husband?
Forensic Psychologists Call Drew Peterson's Reaction to His Missing Wife 'Atypical'

(Family of Stacy Peterson/ AP Photo )
 
By RUSSELL GOLDMAN
Nov. 21, 2007


In interview after interview with the media, Drew Peterson has done virtually everything but express the worry, sadness and anger one would expect in a person whose spouse vanished without a trace three weeks ago, psychologists told ABC News.

 
Ex-Cop to Missing Wife: 'Make Yourself Seen'
Since Stacy Peterson, 24, went missing on Oct. 28, her husband Drew, a 53-year-old police sergeant has become the prime suspect in an investigation and the center of a media storm.
In a recent interview with ABC News, Peterson, of Bolingbrook, Ill., called the search for his fourth wife a "waste of time," and in two interviews with NBC's Today Show and elsewhere Peterson has alleged his wife's PMS led her to run off with another man.
"Why would I go search for someone who I don't believe is there? Why would I go beat the weeds in the cold? It's a waste of time," he told ABC News.

Forensic psychologists and psychiatrists consulted by ABC News said people respond to the trauma of a missing spouse in different ways, but called Peterson's reaction "atypical" and his attitude "blase" and "surprisingly indifferent." None of the experts have personally evaluated Peterson.
"My knee-jerk reaction is what you hear everyone say," said forensic psychologist N.G. Berrill. "If my wife went missing and I loved her, I'd be hysterical. I'm always cautious about attempting to asses someone's emotions, but I don't want to say common sense here is wrong… He comes across as extremely glib and relaxed."
When contacted by ABC News, Peterson, who has not been accused of any crime, said he was "surprised by the media attention."
"I got caught in a media lull and it snowballed. There are more important things than this, like a little girl missing in Chicago," he said.
When asked about his concerns for his two young children, ages 2 and 4, Peterson said, "sure their mom's missing and they're upset but there are more important things to worry about."
Despite routinely speaking to the media for weeks, Peterson referred other questions to his lawyer Joel Brodsky.

"People are calling him guilty already just because he's not acting the certain way they want," Brodsky said.
"He has made some wacky statements and he has acted kind of wacky, but he's just acting like Drew. People would rather he put on an act and be dishonest… There are 6 billion people in the world and if faced with a horrible situation you'd probably get 6 billion different reactions. People seem to feel there is a uniform way to act," he said.
People do react in different ways to trauma, experts said, but generally those reactions are consistently sad.
"When someone undergoes a trauma or loss like a spouse who suddenly disappears, people's coping mechanisms tend to be magnified. People who get sad, get really sad, people who throw themselves into their work, really throw themselves into their work," said Dr. Joe Scroppo, director of the forensic psychiatry program at North Shore University Hospital in Manhassett, New York.
"When people undergo a tragedy or loss, usually there is some guilt about what has occurred even if they're not directly responsible… You'd expect someone to feel some of that when losing a spouse even if he had mixed feelings about her… Among police officers that sense is even more heightened," he said.
"His is not a typical response… Usually, there is a mix of negative feelings, self blame…A sense of sadness or depression, these kinds of feelings, tend to be part of the mix… One would expect that kind of reaction in someone similar to Peterson… Even if he had an ambivalent relationship with his wife – which, he does by his own account – I think he would be concerned about the effect on his children. Even if he doesn't care about her, one would expect him to be concerned about his kids." Experts speculated that if Peterson is indeed guilty, his experience as a police officer could afford him the confidence to act so nonchalantly.
"If he is guilty of this crime, he must believe no one is ever going to find the body… If he truly knows why his wife went missing, he knows the body won't be found," said Berrill. "As a cop he's fully aware that a spouse is first person cops look at in an investigation."
Savio who died in a mysterious bathtub drowning. A new autopsy revealed she may have been murdered.


"If in fact he is a cold-blooded killer -- that is to say if he is a psychopath -- he managed to get away with murder once before," Berrill said. "The irony of the whole tale is that police may never find the body of the present wife, but the remains of the third wife might lead to a murder conviction."

---------------------

For me, his lack of concern and emotion show his guilt.
Lack of concern and emotion over a young wife and mother missing saying "there are more important things. . . "
???????????
Um, yeah, I'm just a wee bit concerned about this guy.

Showdown at Denny's; Pair shared 'flirty' messages, then were confronted by Drew at diner
 
Dan Rozek, Janet Lundquist and Joe Hosey, The Chicago Sun-Times and Herald News
 

Less than 10 days before his wife vanished, Drew Peterson confronted her and another man at a suburban Denny's and posed a question:

"He asked me how I'd react if my wife was with another man," Scott Rossetto said Wednesday after testifying before a Will County grand jury looking into Stacy Peterson's disappearance.

Stacy Peterson had told her husband she planned to meet Rossetto at the Denny's, Rossetto said. Drew Peterson told her not to go, and when she defied him, Drew Peterson showed up at the restaurant in his Bolingbrook police sergeant's uniform and sat down at their table. He didn't rant or rave. He was "quiet mostly," Rossetto said.

The 35-year-old registered nurse from Shorewood denies having an affair with Stacy Peterson but acknowledges he traded racy text messages and e-mails with her.

"Some of the messages were quite perverted and flirty in nature, but they were all meant in fun," Rossetto said. "[Was I] Interested in dating? No. Flirting? Yes."

But police sources dispute that. A source characterized Rossetto as her ''boyfriend.'' The source said the messages were indeed "very sexually explicit," and appear to show them talking about sexual encounters they shared and asking if the other enjoyed it.

Rossetto acknowledges Drew Peterson could have seen the messages in a different light as well.

"If he had seen the messages, there's no doubt he could have misconstrued them," Rossetto said.

Stacy Peterson's sister Cassandra Cales said Rossetto and her sister were not having an affair. They were just friends, she said.

Drew Peterson, 53, could not be reached for comment Wednesday. He has repeatedly insisted that Stacy Peterson, his fourth wife, left him, possibly for another man. He said last week he knew of Rossetto and that "police are looking into" Rossetto's connections to Stacy.

Stacy Peterson's relationship with Rossetto was first reported Saturday by the Joliet Herald News, a member of the Sun-Times News Group. Sources have said police don't consider Rossetto a suspect in Stacy Peterson's disappearance. Investigators have speculated, sources say, that she could have been killed and her body dumped near Rossetto's town house to frame him as the killer.

Investigators went door-to-door in Rossetto's subdivision last weekend, showing photos of Drew and Stacy Peterson's SUV and sedan and asking residents if they had seen the vehicles recently. Stacy Peterson went missing Oct. 28.

Drew Peterson, who has since resigned from the Bolingbrook police department, has been named a suspect in her disappearance. Authorities are also taking a new look at the 2004 drowning death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

Drew Peterson has denied any involvement in Savio's death or Stacy Peterson's disappearance.

About three weeks before Stacy Peterson vanished, she reached out to him "out of the blue," Rossetto said.

"That was the first contact in six years I had with her," Rossetto said last week. "She said she was just going through some stuff and just found my phone number."

Rossetto said they talked by phone or e-mail about every other day for a time. She began contacting him more frequently -- "almost to the annoying point," he said.

The two typically had "normal conversations," Rossetto said, talking about her children and his job as a nurse, Rossetto said. She had taken nursing classes at Joliet Junior College.

Stacy Peterson felt controlled by her husband, Rossetto said.

"She kinda mentioned she wanted to end the relationship [with her husband]," Rossetto said, adding she was "sick and tired of being trapped in the house all the time. I think she missed her independence."

But Rossetto doubted she would have had an affair. "I think she was too afraid to get out of the house to have a relationship," he said.

Part of what Rossetto said in an interview last week changed on Wednesday. He had said he and Stacy Peterson had not met in person recently, but on Wednesday he said they met at Denny's at about 9:30 p.m. on Oct. 19. That's when Drew Peterson arrived, staying for about 15 minutes. It was the first time Rossetto had met him, he said.

"Stacy's always been kind of a flirt," Rossetto said. "I'm a flirt, I always have been."

But, he insisted: "I never dated Stacy. She was just a friend. . . . Dating a married woman who was married to a cop? Not a good idea. I wouldn't want the misery."

Rossetto said his twin brother, Keith, had dated Stacy Peterson six years ago, although Keith Rossetto downplayed his relationship with the then 17-year-old.

"We were kind of in the getting-to-know-you phase," said Keith Rossetto, who also testified before the grand jury Wednesday.

Scott Rossetto said that during his grand jury appearance, he was asked if he had been involved romantically with Stacy Peterson and if he had done anything to her. He said he replied no to both questions.

"I don't believe they're looking at me," Scott Rossetto said.

Also testifying before the grand jury was Steve Carcerano, Peterson's former neighbor and the man who found Kathleen Savio dead in a bathtub in 2004. Carcerano said he was asked questions about both Stacy Peterson and Savio, whose body was exhumed last week.

Authorities are now investigating whether she died accidentally in the bathtub, or if something more sinister happened. A private pathologist brought in by Savio's family ruled last week that she was killed. Results of the official, Will County autopsy are still pending.

Janet Lundquist and Joe Hosey are Herald News reporters.

WHO IS SCOTT ROSSETTO?

Scott Rossetto, 35, a registered nurse from Shorewood, testified before a grand jury Wednesday looking into the disappearance of Stacy Peterson. Afterward, Rossetto said:

- He was not having an affair with Stacy.

- He traded racy text messages and e-mail with Stacy.

- Drew Peterson could have ''misconstrued'' the messages if he saw them.

- Stacy reached out to him ''out of the blue'' three weeks before she vanished.

- Stacy told him she was ''sick and tired of being trapped in the house all the time.''

- His twin brother, Keith, dated Stacy six years ago.

Attorney says Drew Peterson received anonymous letter with details of sighting of missing wife
 
Associated Press - November 22, 2007 1:44 PM ET

CHICAGO (AP) - An attorney for former police sergeant Drew Peterson says Peterson received an unsigned letter yesterday giving a detailed description of a sighting of his missing wife, Stacy Peterson.

Attorney Joel Brodsky says Peterson opened the letter today and immediately called the Illinois State Police and his attorneys to notify them of the development.

The letter carried a Peoria (Illinois) postmark and was dated November 19th. It detailed an encounter the writer had with Stacy on November 12th at a Kroger grocery store in Peoria.

Brodsky says the letter is detailed and describes a man whom the writer said appeared to be in Stacy's company.

The attorney says Peterson hopes the letter will lead authorities to his wife.

Brodsky declined to release the letter itself, telling The Associated Press he doesn't want to do anything to "impede the investigation."

Investigators: Drew Peterson's Pension in Jeopardy
Thursday , November 22, 2007

 BOLINGBROOK, Ill. —

Drew Peterson's pension is in jeopardy after investigators discovered several crimes unrelated to the disappearance of the former police sergeant's wife and mysterious death of his third wife, according to a report in Thursday's Chicago Tribune.

Illinois State Police Captain Carl Dobrich told the Tribune 64 officers are now assigned full-time to investigate the disappearance of Stacy Peterson and the death of Kathleen Savio.

Dobrich said in the course of the investigation, detectives discovered evidence Drew Peterson may have violated Bolingbrook Police Department policies.

Dobrich would not describe the alleged violations, but told the Tribune they were serious enough to potentially trigger the loss of Drew Peterson's $6,000 monthly pension. Under state law, a police officer's pension may be denied or revoked only if the officer is convicted of a job-related felony.

Peterson submitted his resignation last week, but Police Chief Ray McGury refused to accept it, saying he wanted Peterson fired. Bolingbrook's Police and Fire Commission later accepted Peterson's resignation.

McGury didn't disclose specifics, but alleged Peterson committed "severe" violations of departmental policies.

State police have named Peterson a suspect in his fourth wife's disappearance, and Will County prosecutors have said the bathtub drowning of Savio, 40, in March 2004 appeared to be staged to conceal a homicide.

Tips are coming in from across the nation, and the cases are the agency's top investigative priority, Dobrich said.

A grand jury convened for the Savio and Stacy Peterson probes met for the first time Wednesday and heard testimony from Scott Rossetto, a friend of Stacy Peterson.

Police contacted Rossetto after finding phone records that connected him to Stacy Peterson. Rossetto's brother dated her briefly in 2001.

San Found this from Nancy Grace Nov. 19th Friends and family in the police force.

LEIBERMAN: Well, this is hard for the entire family. And let me give you a sense, when I spoke to Drew Peterson, he actually told me he was angry with Stacy for creating the media circus. Look, his two older kids - - and remember he has six kids and one stepchild, that`s important to know, he has seven...

BROOKS: And we found out his oldest son -- one of his older sons is also a police officer.

LEIBERMAN: And his wife is a cop as well.

BROOKS: Interesting.

LEIBERMAN: The son`s wife is a cop as well. Yes, so there`s law enforcement in the family. But yes, six kids, one stepchild and the two older ones that are in the picture right now have been questioned by police. So of course this isn`t easy for any of them. Stacy`s kids are the two youngest ones, and, I mean, come on, it has got to be hard for them to go to bed every night and not have their mom

I wouldn't put it past Drew to involve one of his older sons or even Drew's brother.  There are too many connections to the police in this case.

2ND MAN SOUGHT | Sources say neighbor told police he saw Drew Peterson and someone else loading barrel 'big enough to put someone in' into former cop's SUV

November 23, 2007
BY JOE HOSEY Herald News
A neighbor of Drew Peterson told police he spotted the former Bolingbrook police sergeant and a second man loading a large blue barrel into Peterson's sport utility vehicle hours after his young wife was last seen alive, sources said.

The identity of the second man isn't known, a pair of police sources said. "That's who we're looking for," one of the sources said.

 
RELATED STORIES
• 'Media sensation' Peterson on cover of People
• Special section: Searching for Stacy
That source described the barrel as blue with a volume of between 35 and 55 gallons. "Big enough to put someone in," the source said.

Stacy Peterson, the 5-foot-2, 100-pound wife of Drew Peterson vanished Oct. 28.


-------------------------------------
Thanks for posting this link, oldfart!
I agree - they need to tell more details other than just that it was right after she was last seen - last seen by someone other than DP I take it.

So this is the blue barrel some of you were blogging about.  I somehow missed this.  Why the heck haven't the police been all over this lead???
I know some of you were saying it might fit in his plane and he might have dropped it.  Someone else said they poured cement over her body in the blue barrel or something.
Now someone has to find the blue barrel.  And who was it who helped him load it in the Yukon vehicle?????
and what does DP have to say about it and its whereabouts?


Title: Scott Rossetto
Post by: SteveDinMD on November 23, 2007, 03:23:31 PM
It seems to me that reported admissions by Scott Rossetto might complicate any prosecution of Drew Peterson in connection with Stacy Peterson's death/disappearance.  Mr. Rossetto has reportedly admitted under oath that he and Stacy had exchanged "sexually explicit emails and text messages," yet strenuously denies having had any physical relationship with her.  This story seems a bit far-fetched to me in light of the fact that Rossetto and Stacy had been in a relationship prior to Stacy's marriage to Peterson and that Rossetto and Stacy had in fact been interrupted by Drew Peterson during a rendevouz at a local Denny's restaurant.  If, as I suspect, Rossetto is lying about not having had a physical relationship with Stacy, he's injuring the cause of justice. 

The explicit emails and text messages in question were probably in the possession of the police, anyway, as a result of a forensic examination of Stacy's computer and cell phone.  Rossetto couldn't deny those.  His unlikely denial of any physical relationship with Stacy could stem from his belief that the police would be unable to disprove his story.  Why, though, would Rossetto lie about this?  It's possible that he wanted simply to preserve whatever reputation he had left.  Drew Peterson's eventual defense, though, will predictably paint this deception in a far more sinister light.  They will contend that Rossetto, himself, was responsible for Stacy's death/disappearance and that his lying about his relationship with Stacy was simply an attempt on his part to cast suspicion away from himself and onto Peterson.  Though I believe that Drew Peterson is by far the likeliest culprit in Stacy's disappearance, this scenario is extremely problematic.  In the absense of definitive forensic evidence, such testimony and rebuttal might well meet the standard of reasonable doubt, allowing Drew Peterson to escape justice.  By contrast, if Rossetto, in fact, HAD been having an affair with Stacy, if he were to have simply admitted as much, such testimony could only have reinforced the case against Peterson.  If Rossetto is lying, my advice to investigators is to find out WHY.  In the meantime, they'd do well to avoid any appearance of investing Rossetto's statements with too much value.

If Rossetto is lying, my advice to investigators is to find out WHY.

I believe it is to stay out of the media light and to avoid being involved in the case and having his life turned upside down - even if he is innocent.

I agree it doesn't make any sense to be exchanging sexually explicit e-mails with  someone about what you like and say there is no physical relationship.
Seems this gives DP a motive.

RIC MIMS is suspected th have helped with the blue “barrel” and has reportedly shown ISP police where it was located. It was near a pond or retention water not far from the home of that fellow that Stacy met at Wendy’s, all this according to WFLD-TV (local FOX) this evening. The staton showed a still picture of a blue barrel wedged in branches on shore of a weeded area.

Coincidentially, Ric Mims announces he has an attorney when the FBI joined the case, as I understood the news report. More after 5 and 6 p.m. news locally.

I still think Ric will end up the hero in this story!!

If Mr. Mims is just now coming forward with this info or LE just now looking into it   is one thing  ... vs late reporting by the media so it sounds like current news is another thing..

If late reporting...so it sounds current,  the source needs take to the wood shed!

Investigators seek FBI's help in Peterson case;
Volunteers to restart the search Saturday
 
By Jo Napolitano and Matthew Walberg, Tribune staff reporters
 

The FBI is expected to join the search for missing Bolingbrook mother Stacy Peterson early next week, opening the possibility of "technical assistance of the U.S. Navy" if needed, a spokesman for the Will County state's attorney said Friday.

Charles Pelkie said investigators asked the federal agency for help in putting more searchers on the hunt and to lend its expertise if required.

Meanwhile, volunteers will resume looking for Peterson, 23, on Saturday, beginning at 9 a.m. at the Bolingbrook Recreation and Aquatic Complex, 200 S. Lindsey Lane. Although they will comb some ground that has been searched before, family spokeswoman Pam Bosco said she hopes the search will be even more thorough this time.

Peterson disappeared Oct. 28. Her husband, former police Sgt. Drew Peterson, has been named a suspect.

Drew Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, was found dead in the bathtub of her home in March 2004. The death was ruled accidental at the time it occurred, but recently, investigators exhumed her body to see whether there was evidence of homicide.

Drew Peterson, 53, who retired from the Bolingbrook police force after Stacy Peterson went missing, has denied involvement in both cases.

He told authorities on Thanksgiving that he received a letter from an anonymous source stating that his wife was spotted in a Peoria grocery store. Bosco was skeptical about the letter and expressed surprise that the author did not give his or her name, especially because there is a $25,000 reward for information leading to Stacy Peterson's whereabouts.

"I find it very interesting that Mr. Peterson is placing any value in the letter ... when his original statement was that she took a passport, a large sum of money and a bikini and was heading for the Bahamas," Bosco said at a news conference Friday.

As for reports that Drew Peterson was seen with another man hauling a large blue barrel to his sport-utility vehicle the day his wife disappeared, Bosco said all such leads should be investigated. This month, searchers found a blue barrel in one of many bodies of water they searched but concluded it likely was not connected to the case.

Bosco said Thanksgiving Day was difficult for her family.

Thursday "was a very, very hard day," she said. "Stacy was a family person. She held the family together. The family ... tried to get together, but it wasn't festive at all."

State Police Master Sgt. Luis Gutierrez said investigators searched parts of Cook, DuPage and Will Counties on Friday. Stacy Peterson's case is classified as a criminal missing-person investigation, he said, adding that no suspects other than Drew Peterson have been identified.

Steve Carcerano is a POS.  Geraldo is going after him.  They are talking about the letter DP supposedly received of a sighting of Stacy.  Geraldo just told him I want to have friends like you if I ever get in a jam.

All of a sudden this guy is a close friend.  He is hiding something.

WOW!  Are you surprised too San?  I wondered why TES had left the ground search early on, but Tim explained they were searching water areas for the barrel.  I did not know about the missing Scuba weights either.  Apparently the barrel was one that was typically in the garage of the Peterson home, and used to store chlorine for the pool.  Did I hear them say there were blue plastic particles found in the back of the Denali?   :shock:  OOOOPS!

Since Steve Carcerano was with Drew when wife #3 was found, and things are not looking too good for DP right now, I'm not so sure I would be blabbing on FOX about what a great guy DP is, and trying to cast a bad light on the investigation and Stacy's family!  Is he nuts?  While standing up for DP's mystery letter, he couldn't resist mentioning that Stacy's family admitted receiving letters as well.  He charged " Have those been investigated?" 

He sure has the same cocky attitude that DP has!  I think I would be backing away from the area..... :pale:

Illinois Police Look to Public for Sightings of Missing Mom's Car

Sunday, November 25, 2007
llinois State Police told FOX News on Sunday that "new information" prompted its appeal for more information about possible sightings of the cars that belong to Stacy Peterson or her husband, Drew, around the time that the woman vanished.

Investigators are asking anyone who may have seen the vehicles on Oct. 28 or 29 — the time the 23-year-old Bolingbrook mother's disappearance — to come forward.

Police have released photos of the vehicles: A dark Blue 2005 GMC Yukon Denali belonging to Drew and the second a purple 2002 Pontiac Grand Am, belonging to Stacy, and asked the public to call its tipline at (815) 740-0678 or "America's Most Wanted" at (800) CRIMETV.

Both vehicles were impounded by police on Nov. 1., and are still in police possession because of search warrant seizures.

The appeal came as emergency workers and volunteers searched woods, lakes and ponds this weekend.
The FBI is scheduled to join in the search for Peterson on Monday at the request of state police. Federal investigators are expected to add more searchers and technical assistance during water searches.

Drew Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, welcomed the FBI's involvement in the case, telling FOX that once the FBI starts to question people, he's hopeful this case can start from scratch and refocus on Stacy Peterson as a missing person's case.

"I'm glad the Bureau is coming in. They're (the FBI) is not out to railroad anyone. They're there to get to the bottom of this story."

State Police are already working with investigators from around the state, and have classified the case as a top priority.

Meanwhile, FOX News’ Laura Ingle spoke briefly with Drew Peterson off-camera Sunday in front of his home. When asked about reports that he was seen with another man hauling a large blue barrel to his sport-utility vehicle the day his wife disappeared, Peterson said he has nothing to say about that.

In addition to the missing blue barrel, police are reported to be looking for scuba diving weights missing from Drew's house, which may have led investigators to search numerous ponds. When asked about his missing gear, Peterson told FOX his scuba weights were not missing.

Stacy was last seen by family members on Saturday evening, Oct. 27. Drew Peterson, a former Bolingbrook police officer, has been named a suspect. His third wife, Kathleen Savio, was found dead in her bathtub in March 2004. Savio's death was ruled accidental at the time, but a recent autopsy showed evidence of homicide. Drew Peterson has denied involvement in either case.

San & Helen -
Maybe Carcerano is the one who helped him load the blue barrel in DP car or helped get rid of the body, so that is why he is trying to defend DP to get DP out of the spot light, and therefore himself out of the spotlight.

If SP was killed (I think we would have heard from her by now if she is still alive) and DP put her body in the blue barrel which had chlorine in it (someone posted it was used to store chlorine for the pool), the chlorine would dissolve the flesh and bones and it would be hard to detect any body.  Then if he used his plane to drop it into one of the lakes and weighted it down with the missing scuba weights, it is most likely the body will never be found - if this is what happened to the body.  But there are a lot of alternatives - like it is in his basement which the journalist described as creepy?
DP is so confident and so emotionless.

aly, Carcerano is hiding something.  I definitely think DP had help in the disposal.  They were looking at another guy too the other day who was fired from the police force and was also a friend of Drew Peterson's son.

Geraldo was right when he told Carcerano if I were ever in a jam I want you as a friend.

I agree, you guys.  Carcerano is just a little too "vested".  I'm all for standing up for friends, but his recent behavior is "over the top".

Well, I actually never saw the Steve Carcerano interviews - I don't get TV - only watch links or downloads from internet & haven't downloaded any yet.
I just hear from y'all that SC is so defensive of DP.
Read the following post on the court tv site.
Someone thinks SC sounds too rehearsed on his recounting finding KS - saying that maybe SC wasn't even there at all - just repeating verbatim the same story DP gave him.  This is copied and pasted below from some blogger:
----------------------

  • The more interviews I see with Steve Carcerano, the more I am convinced that these interviews and loyalty go way deeper than Drew being his friend. No man can be that stupid and make himself look like such a fool unless he's desperately trying to cover up something. [/*]
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     And have you noticed that SC repeats the story of finding KS verbatim every time he tells it? It never varies at all, like he rehearsed it or it's a script or something!?
    -----------------------------

    OK?  So that is pretty interesting?  I guess a few of you are thinking the same.
    SC knows something & like San said is hiding something.
    Yes, Helen, my husband was the one who thought of the body being placed in the chlorine to make it too hard to detect (since the barrel was supposedly used to store chlorine).

    & I see Geraldo's point about the friend thing - but no thanks to being his friend.  Ha!

From courttv.com message board
One person said a huge chlorine purchase was reported to police because it was an abnormallly large amount even with a pool.

------------------------
Originally posted by Winnter
  • Well the pool guy called the police to report that Drew purchased 55 gallons of chlorine. Even he thought it was odd. Chlorine is not easy to dispose of. If he emptied it into his pool there would be high levels of it, if he dumped it into his backyard there would be levels of it in the ground. If he used the drum to transport Stacy (which is a horrible thought), the chlorine had to go somewhere. [/*]

    ----------------------Another blogger below:
    55 gallons is alot to purchae in November. Especially when the pool would be closed for the winter . The pool place also reported this purchase to the police due to the large quantity.
    It just all seems odd.


    Liquid chlorine is another type which is created by bubbling the chlorine gas through a solution of caustic soda. The yellow liquid (stronger, but chemically identical to bleach) has 10 - 15% available chlorine, and has a pH on the other end of the scale at 13. Liquid Chlorine is called Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl), and because it is already in solution, sodium-hypo produces hypochlorous acid instantly when it contacts water. The liquid can be poured directly into the pool but it is recommended to use a diaphragm or peristaltic pump. The use of liquid chlorine is more dominant in larger commercial pools which have it delivered into 55 gallon vats. For most residential pools, the lower cost seems to be outweighed by its difficulty in use and the amount of acid required to counteract its pH of 13. Use care when handling as this chemical is corrosive to just about everything.

    --------------Another blogger:
    Also, I read that Stacy told her sister that the drum was filled with chlorine when it was stored in the garage.
    ------------------Another blogger:
    D possibly used the blue barrel to move the body from the house to the car to another location.

    He didn't necessarily leave S's. body in the blue barrel, he could have removed the body,

    added the diving weights to her legs and arms and disposed of her after dark.
    Then moved the empty barrel to another location to dispose of it...
    he's sly as a fox.....JMO

Hmm, I wonder how long that would take, and whether a body would completely liquify.  If complete liquification could be achieved within the time span after which his wife's disappearance would be noticed, it could be the basis of a difficult crime for police to unravel.  He could strangle his wife, put her in a vat of liquid chlorine, wait for the body to dissolve, then pour the vat's contents (including her liquified remains) into that nearby lake.  Forensic evidence could be entirely lacking, leaving police unable to scientifically prove that Mrs. Peterson is dead, let alone that Mr. Peterson was responsible for her demise.  It certainly takes a cold blooded killer to execute such a plan, though.

That is like the stories on crime library site.
It is too horrible to think that there are people out there who could concieve of or commit the autrocious crimes, but they have and they do.

I have to think DP is not bright.
All he had to do was get a divorce, but he didn't want to lose $ or what?
So he has killed two wives apparently, and now has the FBI and even the Navy looking out for evidence. 
He didn't see that coming?
He thinks he is so clever.  We'll see.

Saw Tim Miller resonding to this on the weekend. He was asked about the Navy and FBI coming in and why TES was concentrating on water searches.  Tim said that there was indeed a blue barrel in the garage and it is no longer there. They would do air searches and the Navy had equipment that could help find it underwater and in deeper water. The chlorine was also mentioned. Also said that they had found some other blue barrels already, just not the right one. Also read that his plane was probably used to scope out a disposal site. That is why they are asking if anyone saw their two vehicles that day.

The chlorine explains why DP is so confident and arrogant in my opinion. If these people can't find Stacy no one will. JMO

 :shock: The chlorine idea is interseting, although I'm not certain it would completely dissolve bones, and know that it wont disolve teeth, there is a case where a man burned a girl in a barrel to hide the corpse, but her teeth never burned and they were able to identify her by one specific tooth and the filling in it. FOX news is reporting that they have identified the man who helped Drew with the barrel, and the very nexy he tried to commit suicide.....hmmm, he's sounds like he'd be easier to interrogate than Drew. They need to do that and get rid of this narcissistic sociopath once and for all!

There is a new development in the search for Stacy Peterson - Illinois State Police have identified who they think may have helped Drew Peterson move a large blue barrel out of his house – a barrel which is now considered a key piece of evidence.

FBI welcome in search, lawyer says;
He hopes 'witch hunt'  :roll: against ex-cop ends
 
By Matthew Walberg, Tribune staff reporter
 

The lawyer for a former Bolingbrook police sergeant Monday hailed the arrival of the FBI in the search for the man's missing wife and said he hoped it would end the "witch hunt" against his client.

"I have no problem with them being involved," said attorney Joel Brodsky, who has been retained by Drew Peterson as authorities investigate the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, 23, and the 2004 drowning of his third wife.

FBI agents "are usually very intelligent, dedicated young men and women who could make a lot of money doing something else," Brodsky said. "I'm sure they're going to give this [investigation] a fresh look, and my hope is that this will move from the witch hunt that it has become and go back to a missing person case."

Brodsky would not identify who he believed was leading the witch hunt.

Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Luis Gutierrez said FBI agents were briefed Monday on what has been termed a criminal missing person investigation into the Oct. 28 disappearance of Stacy Peterson. Gutierrez did not know how many agents had been assigned to the search.

The federal agency has at its disposal naval dive teams to assist in water searches, said Charles Pelkie, spokesman for Will County State's Atty. James Glasgow.

Drew Peterson, 53, was named a suspect in his wife's disappearance from their Bolingbrook home, and authorities also have reopened the investigation into the death of his ex-wife Kathleen Savio, 40, who was found dead in her bathtub just weeks before the financial terms of the couple's divorce were to be finalized.

Savio's death originally was ruled an accident by a coroner's jury, but authorities now suspect the circumstances of her death were staged to conceal a homicide. Her body was exhumed this month.

Peterson has not been charged with any crime, but he has been the focus of intense scrutiny from investigators as well as the media. Earlier this month, he exercised his 5th Amendment right not to incriminate himself in an appearance before a grand jury investigating the Savio and Stacy Peterson cases.

State police have assigned more than five dozen investigators to work both cases, calling it the agency's top investigative priority. Police and volunteers have combed woods and waterways throughout Will, Grundy, DuPage and Cook Counties.

Gutierrez said police did not conduct any searches Monday but sifted through tips and leads that have been pouring in.

State police issued a news release Saturday seeking the public's help regarding any sightings Oct. 28-29 of the Petersons' vehicles, a dark blue 2005 GMC Yukon Denali with a sticker on the back window and a purple 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix, which belonged to Stacy Peterson. Anyone with information is asked to call the Illinois State Police tip line on Stacy Peterson at 815-740-0678.

Asked why that plea for public assistance came four weeks after her disappearance, Gutierrez said Monday that "because of information that has been developed through the investigation, that's why we put it out when we put it out."

I did hear a part about removing it from the bedroom.

Remember when Drew disappeared on his motorcycle for a few days and no one knew where he was.  Does anyone think he might have tried to retrieve the barrell or make sure it could not be seen where he dumped it because of the person who helped him tried to committ suicide.

Stacy's been seen in Peoria!! Oh, really???; It might be worth checking out this 'Marcy' person
 
Richard Roeper, The Chicago Sun-Times
 

Either two people think they saw Stacy Peterson in a Peoria grocery store on Nov. 12 -- or the same individual who reportedly sent a letter to Drew Peterson also posted a note about the sighting on a Fox News blog.

The comment by "Marcy" appears in the feedback section of Greta Van Susteren's "GretaWire" blog. It was posted on Wednesday, Nov. 14 at 3:15 p.m.

"Is Stacy's hair still a blonde color? I swear I saw a young woman down here in the 309 area code. She hauntingly looked like Stacy . . . all she did was stand there and stare at me. I did not do anything. I looked at her though. I think that she is very much alive!!! Look if I went to the police they would not believe me anyway!!! This happened on Monday night . . ."

And when someone uses multiple exclamation points, it just has to be true!!!

Drew Peterson's attorney says his client received a letter describing a possible sighting of Stacy Peterson at a Peoria grocery store on Nov. 12 -- the same date "Marcy" cites. The two alleged sightings are strikingly similar.

I doubt authorities are viewing that letter as a big break in the case -- but if they're still looking into this supposed sighting, it might be worth checking out this "Marcy" person and the posting that went up a week before Peterson received that letter.

In the meantime, I'm certain that over the last few weeks, I've seen about 112 middle-aged guys in the Chicago area who bear an uncanny and unfortunate resemblance to Drew Peterson.

JUST ANOTHER MANIC MONDAY

Yesterday was "Cyber Monday"? Really? We're buying into that nonsense?

Seems like you couldn't turn on the TV or radio on Monday without hearing references to Cyber Monday -- the supposed unofficial start to the online holiday shopping season.

As the media myth has it, the first Monday after Thanksgiving is arguably the biggest online shopping day of the year. Everybody's back to work after the long Thanksgiving holiday weekend, and we're all hunched over our computers, pretending to work away while in reality we're racing up and down the cyber-aisles of Wal-Mart, Neiman Marcus, Toys R Us, Williams-Sonoma, Nike, et al.

The origins of this term go all the way back to, um, 2005. Apparently it was coined by a division of the National Retail Federation, in an effort to get people to buy more stuff.

Imagine that -- an artificial, phony, made-up day designed to stimulate consumer spending. Like we'd ever fall for that. It's one thing to hit the stores for genuine occasions such as Sweetest Day or Secretaries' Day or Boss' Day, but those are time-honored holidays steeped in grand tradition, ahem. Nobody's going to fall for this Cyber Monday stuff, right?

Just as Black Friday is NOT the busiest brick-and-mortar shopping day of the year, Cyber Monday probably won't even be the busiest online shopping day of the season. That happens closer to Christmas -- usually on that last day when you can order something and still get a guarantee it'll arrive by Dec. 24.

The media are also regurgitating the utterly irrelevant "Cost of the 12 Days of Christmas" nonsense this week. 'Tis the season for such non-stories.

A JOURNALIST AND A GENTLEMAN

Virtually every tribute to the late and beloved John Drury included anecdotes from colleagues who reminisced about Mr. Drury's gentlemanly grace.

There was something lovely about those video memories, from Kathy Brock saying Drury made a point of saying he was looking forward to working with her the first time they anchored together, to Mark Giangreco saying Drury was "everybody's uncle, everybody's grandfather, everybody's father and everybody's friend," to Steve Sanders calling him "a role model," to Tom Skilling saying, "I never heard him say a mean thing about anybody in our business."

Drury's career spanned four decades and included numerous accolades and accomplishments. His brave battle with ALS has been well-chronicled.

But whether you're on TV for four decades or your job is outside the spotlight, as much as the career stuff matters -- especially when you're wrapped up in the daily workplace struggles -- what ultimately matters is how you treated others, day in and day out.

If you consider grace a gift, John Drury was truly blessed, as were those who knew him.

Police are investigating Drew Peterson's step brother Thomas Morphi (S/P) for helping Drew move a barrell out of his home the day Stacy Peterson went missing.  Thomas attempted suicide on 10/29.

This guy has worked for Drew in the past and it's not like he is a distant relative.

San -
I wonder what he worked for Drew before doing - Drew had a bar with KS, right?  I wonder if that is when TM worked for DP.

That is so brave and great of TM wife to call the police.  Hurray for her.
Of course you have to make sure you call the right police, so they don't cover for DP!  Ha!

So it sounds like he helped move the barrel, then later heard of SP disappearance and put 2 and 2 together and realized he helped dispose of her body, or so the story goes.
I don't buy the memory lapse bit, sorry.

TM needs to fill in for the detectives what the heck happened with DP and the barrel and when and where it went.

I am sure TM is terrified of DP - I bet you.

Drew's relative attempted suicide, source says
Drew Peterson's relative said to be distraught over Stacy's disappearance


November 28, 2007
BY JOE HOSEY Herald News
One of Drew Peterson's relatives overdosed on pills after helping the former Bolingbrook police sergeant load a large barrel into Peterson's SUV the day Stacy Peterson vanished, a police source said Tuesday.

Thomas Morphey, a step-brother, was hospitalized but survived what the source described as a suicide attempt. Morphey's wife called police, saying her husband heard of the disappearance, became distraught and feared he might have unwittingly helped dispose of Drew Peterson's wife's body, the source said.

Prosecutors have not called Morphey to testify before a grand jury examining the 23-year-old woman's disappearance because he has "memory lapses" about loading the barrel into Peterson's GMC Yukon Denali, the source said.

Drew Peterson visited Morphey in the hospital, the source said.
Last Friday, the Sun-Times reported that a neighbor told police he saw Drew Peterson and another man loading the barrel into the SUV.

Illinois State Police have seized the Denali among other property taken from the Petersons' Bolingbrook home. Tests conducted on the vehicle at the State Police laboratory had not been completed, a source said late last week. But another source said police located pieces of blue plastic on the back end of the Denali.

State investigators have also released photographs of the SUV and Stacy Peterson's vehicle, a purple Pontiac Grand Am, hoping someone might have seen one or both of the vehicles in the hours after the young wife vanished.

Stacy Peterson's family members say they last heard from her the morning of Oct. 28. The mother of two was expected to help paint a house in Yorkville later that day, but she never showed up, her relatives say.

Police and scores of volunteers have scoured the countryside searching for Stacy Peterson. Drew Peterson has not participated in those searches.

Police have identified Drew Peterson as a suspect in his wife's disappearance.

The investigation has prompted Will County prosecutors to take another look at the 2004 death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio. Savio's death was originally ruled an accidental drowning, but authorities now believe it may have been a homicide.

Drew Peterson has denied any involvement in his wife's disappearance or his ex-wife's death. He maintains that Stacy Peterson left him, possibly for another man.

On Tuesday, he refused to answer a reporter's questions about moving a barrel from his home.

Thanks MuminOhio.
I don't know how I missed that - was reading fast.

I agree - I don't know how they let him visit.

I hope they are able to get something from this against DP finally that will be some evidence that will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Report: Drew Peterson Called In Sick on Night of Wife's Disappearance
Wednesday, November 28, 2007

 
The husband of Stacy Peterson did not show up to work on the night that the 23-year-old woman disappeared, the Chicago Tribune reported Wednesday.

Stacy Peterson, a mother of two and Drew Peterson's fourth wife, was reported missing Oct. 29 by her family after she failed to show up to a friend's house.

Drew Peterson, who recently resigned as an officer from the Bolingbrook police department, was scheduled to work at 5 p.m. Oct. 28 but called in to take a personal or sick day, Bolingbrook police Lt. Ken Teppel told the Tribune.

In addition, the Tribune reported, a key witness has told a friend he might have helped transport the body of Peterson's wife. That witness — a relative to Drew Peterson — allegedly helped move a barrel that was warm to the touch from Peterson's bedroom to an SUV. A source close to the investigation says that witness told a friend about his involvement.

Two days later, the distressed relative, who has not been identified, was hospitalized after an alleged suicide attempt, the Tribune reported.

Volunteers searching for any signs of Stacy are looking for the barrel. Neighbors say Peterson had a blue barrel in his backyard.

Peterson's neighbor told police last week that he saw Peterson and the man load a barrel "big enough to put someone in" into the former police officer's SUV, according to a Chicago Sun-Times report.

Meanwhile, Will County prosecutors reopened the investigation into the death of Peterson's third ex-wife, Kathleen Savio. Savio, 40, died in a bathtub in March 2004. Prosecutors say the death appeared to be staged to conceal a homicide and recently exhumed her body for a second autopsy.

Illinois State Police told FOX News on Sunday that "new information" prompted its appeal for more information about possible sightings of the cars that belong to Stacy Peterson or her husband, Drew, around the time that the woman vanished.

Police have released photos of the vehicles: A dark Blue 2005 GMC Yukon Denali belonging to Drew and the second a purple 2002 Pontiac Grand Am, belonging to Stacy, and asked the public to call its tip line at 815-740-0678 or "America's Most Wanted" at 800-274-6388.

Both vehicles were impounded by police on Nov. 1 and are still in police possession.

welcome new monkeys!

Very interesting articles!  We can only hope that he was stupid enough to post on Greta's blog on the same day he "received" the letter of the Stacy sighting. And he called in sick the night of Stacy's disappearance because he was little busy with that barrel. 

His goose is cooked, with our without the barrel. 

I hope they find her soon.  Maybe the family reads here.  Love and support to you and your missing loved one.

Bizarre Twist in Peterson Case

This is a rush transcript from "On the Record ," November 27, 2007. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, HOST: This is a "FOX News Alert": Breaking news in the Sergeant Petersen case.

Remember that big blue barrel Sergeant Peterson was said to have loaded into his truck the day after Stacy Peterson disappeared? Well, police now believe they know who helped Peterson carry that barrel, and police also now believe that they know what happened to this man the next day.

Former LAPD homicide detective Mark Fuhrman is digging into the case. He joins us live in Bolingbrook, Illinois. Mark, first of all, who is this man?

MARK FUHRMAN, FMR LAPD HOMICIDE DETECTIVE, FOX ANALYST: Well, Greta, it's kind of a — it's not a long story, but we need to go back to last week. Last week, Illinois State Police really — it was revealed that they had interviewed a neighbor of Drew Peterson that had seen Drew Peterson and an unidentified male loading a blue barrel into his GMC Denali SUV. Now, that was October 28. That was the day that Stacy Peterson was last heard from at about 10:30 that morning.

E-mail the Show: ontherecord@foxnews.com Greta Van Susteren's Bio Read the GretaWire Interview Archive Greta's Pod Cast Now, a source that we have has told us that the Illinois State Police then believed that that man was, in fact, a relative of Drew Peterson. Now, multiple and different sources have told myself and your producer, Steph Watts, that that man is, in fact, a relative of Drew Peterson. In fact, it's his stepbrother, and his name is Thomas Morphey. And he lives just about a mile, mile-and-a-half from the Peterson home.

Now, on the day after Stacy is last seen — On October 28, she was last seen. That is the day that Drew Peterson and this man that was unidentified that day are loading the barrel. The next day, Thomas Morphy overdoses on three anti-depressants and alcohol, two of the anti- depressants being reported as Zoloft and Xanax.

He is overdosed on these drugs. EMS paramedics respond to his residence, as do Bolingbrook police, and he is subsequently transported to Edwards Hospital, where we believe he was treated and released the next day some time. Now, as of this moment, we don't know if this was an accidental overdose or it was an attempted suicide. That is what we know right now.

VAN SUSTEREN: Where is Thomas Morphey?

FUHRMAN: Well, Greta, we know his address. We're not going to put it out over the air. We've been to the house. What's interesting is the porch lights were on all day today. Nobody in the neighborhood's lights were on. There was curtains drawn, no visible movement inside, dogs barking inside. We knocked on the door after dark — same condition. The neighbor and kids hadn't seen them. So we do not know.

I put a phone call in. I believed it was the phone that goes to the house. No answer. The owner of the home is not Thomas Morphey. That is not the person that owns the home. We have not been able to make contact with the person that does own the home. And that's where we stand right now, Greta.

VAN SUSTEREN: Is there any information as to what kind of relationship that Sergeant Drew Peterson has with Thomas Morphey? Do you see them often? Are they close as stepbrothers? Any information like that?

FUHRMAN: Well, we can't really verify of recent, but we know that he has actually worked for Drew in the past. We know that other family members, Kathy Savio's family, knows him. He's been around, so it's not like somebody that's been a distant relative that, you know, just popped up out of nowhere. This is somebody that he has had a relationship — however close, we don't know, but a relationship nonetheless.

VAN SUSTEREN: All right, the blue barrel — is — I mean, obviously everyone is suspicious of the blue barrel. Is there any reason to believe that Stacy Peterson was in the blue barrel? Or where is that blue barrel?

FUHRMAN: Well, certainly, Greta, if we knew that, that would be the million- dollar question. But you have to — you have to say — as an investigator, you have to ask the question. It should be a very easy question to be asked and answered of Drew Peterson at this late date. It would be a very easy question for him to answer at this exact moment. What's in the large blue barrel that you put into your SUV the day that your wife ran off with another man? It might be a question you should be able to answer.

VAN SUSTEREN: Was the blue barrel put in his truck at night, at dark, or was it in the broad daylight?

FUHRMAN: Greta, we have not been able to establish the exact time, nor which neighbor it was, which makes it a little more confusing. As you just asked, night and day, it was my first question, too. I would presume that it would be later in the day. But then again, once the attention on the family was generated and phone calls and people started arriving, you would think that that would complicate things. But we do know this. The Denali was missing completely at 11:00 PM that night.

VAN SUSTEREN: All right. One other real quick question. The blue barrel — what's the origin of the blue barrel? Why would it even have been in possession of Sergeant Peterson or his home?

FUHRMAN: Well, a blue barrel was seen in the back yard by a neighbor, and then it disappeared. They can't absolutely establish the last time they saw it, but it was there. Now it's not. It could be a barrel to keep chlorine. I think that would be a lot of chlorine. But I have a couple of these barrels. They're used for a lot of things. After the commercial use is over, they're sold very cheaply. People use them for garbage. They use them for storage. They can be used for anything.

VAN SUSTEREN: All right. Mark, thank you very much. And of course, we're going to be following this very closely.

Now, Peterson's wife number, Kathleen Savio, died in 2004. A grand jury is investigating if it was an accident or a homicide. Kathleen's nephew, Charlie Doman, joins us live in Bolingbrook, Illinois. Charlie, welcome. Nice to see you again. Do you know Thomas Morphy?

CHARLIE DOMAN, KATHLEEN SAVIO'S NEPHEW: Thanks, Greta. Yes. Yes, I know Tom.

VAN SUSTEREN: How do you know Tom?

DOMAN: I — he was actually the manager at the bar when I was a deejay.

VAN SUSTEREN: All right. When you say "the bar," is that the bar that Stacy Peterson owned, or is that a different bar?

DOMAN: No, it was the bar that he owned with my aunt at the time, yes.

VAN SUSTEREN: What years did you work with and spend — or see — see Thomas Morphey alive (ph), what period of time?

DOMAN: Oh, I don't know, like, maybe eight, ten years ago, somewhere around there.

VAN SUSTEREN: When was the last time...

DOMAN: I was in my early 20s.

VAN SUSTEREN: When was the last time you saw Tom Morphey?

DOMAN: Again, around my early 20s, around, you know, mid-'90s, around there somewhere, early '90s, mid-'90s. I didn't see him much after I quit working at the bar, a little here and there, but nothing — nothing special. It was a wild time for all of us.

VAN SUSTEREN: Do you — you say it was a wild time. What do you — might as well explained that one. What does that mean?

DOMAN: We did a lot of hanging out, a lot of drinking, you know, stuff like that. I was in my early 20s, so I was new to the bar scene.

VAN SUSTEREN: Was Drew Peterson part of that scene, or was he simply an owner of the bar?

DOMAN: He was the owner of the bar. He really didn't hang out with us too much on that level. I mean, on the family level, he did, but as far as, like, socially, not really. Probably not at all.

VAN SUSTEREN: Do you have any current information, like information within the last year, as to what kind of relationship Sergeant Petersen has with his stepbrother?

DOMAN: No. I really wish I did, but no.

VAN SUSTEREN: Anything about Tom Morphey that stands out in your mind that you want to add, Charlie?

DOMAN: I know — I know at the time, he was always worried about what Drew thought of him, what Drew would say if he did whatever. So Drew — drew was in his mind a lot when we'd be hanging out, and so on and so forth.

VAN SUSTEREN: All right. Now, he apparently had a drug overdose. We don't know if it was attempted suicide, whether it was an accident. When you heard about this, you know, did it occur to you that he might attempt to commit suicide or might be an accident? What was your thought?

DOMAN: I don't know. It just seemed to me like the same old Tom. He used to get really wasted all the time. I remember one instance, he — he flipped his truck while — while he was intoxicated, and that's as far as — I mean, when I heard that, I just — I don't know.

VAN SUSTEREN: All right. Does he have a drug problem, Charlie?

DOMAN: That I don't know for sure. I can't give specifics on that. I really don't know for sure.

VAN SUSTEREN: All right, Charlie. Thank you.

DOMAN: Thanks, Greta.

Jennifer34 -
You asked why TM doesn't just lead them to the blue barrel - but I was thinking he might have only helped load it into the vehicle.
Yes, DP would need help unloading it if he needed help loading it, but just saying we don't know if he went with him and unloaded it.  I guess it seems like he would have, doesn't it.

I also followed the scared monkeys forever with the NH case.

BOLINGBROOK, Illinois (AP) -- Searchers looking for a former police officer's missing wife were told by police to watch for a blue plastic barrel that could fit the woman's body inside, one of the searchers said.


Former police Sgt. Drew Peterson talks to reporters from a car on Monday.

 Illinois State Police also told members of Texas EquuSearch, which has assisted law enforcement, family and friends in the search for Stacy Peterson, to focus on areas of water in their search for the barrel, Tim Miller, founder and director of the private group, said Tuesday.

"They actually even gave me a picture of what we might be looking for," Miller said. "It was certainly large enough to put her body in, she only weighed about a hundred pounds."

Peterson, 23, was last seen on October 28. Authorities have said her husband, Drew Peterson, is a suspect in her disappearance and have called her case a possible homicide. The search for the woman has been ongoing since her disappearance.

It was not clear why police were making the barrel a focus in the search. Illinois State Police did not return messages from The Associated Press late Tuesday or early Wednesday.

Peterson's disappearance led authorities to re-examine the circumstances of the 2004 death of Drew Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio. Authorities have said her death may have been a homicide staged to look like an accidental bathtub drowning.

Drew Peterson, 53, has denied any involvement in either case and said he believes his 23-year-old wife left him for another man and is alive. His attorney did not return calls.

On Tuesday, Peterson emerged from his suburban Chicago home with a hand-held video camera and told the horde of reporters surrounding his house that they made him feel like a prisoner.

The Wednesday after Stacy disappeared, Drew Peterson asked his next-door neighbor to watch the kids after his step brother-in-law tried to commit suicide. Peterson told the neighbor, Sharon Bychowski to watch two of Peterson's kids for an hour.

Bychowski, one of Stacy's best friends, told FOX News that Peterson had a lack of emotion and dismissive attitude when he returned from the hospital to pick up the kids. Bychowski asked Peterson if everything was okay and he responded, "What? Oh. He lost his job. Lost his family. Go figure."

Peterson also asked Bychowski to move Stacy Peterson's Grand Prix, which has since been seized by investigators, to keep it away from the media.

Peterson's attorney is denying reports about a family member helping the former police officer remove a blue barrel from his home after Stacy Peterson was reported missing.

Joel Brodsky, Peterson's attorney, said the family member has a history of mental problems, alcoholism and suicide attempts. The family member might want attention or living in "a fantasy world," Brodsky said
.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,313401,00.html

This is from the above fox news story.

Of course DP chose this fellow to help him...Drew knows TM has a history of questionable behavior and may not be a reliable witness.  Every move Drew has made has been calculated...He thinks he is so smart.  He thinks he is untouchable.  Makes me want to puke.

BTW- Welcome to the new monkeys!  Great to see your input!

I'm not sure if anyone posted this yet, but it was on nbc5.com.  It sounds like Peterson might have left his cell phone with Morphey so he could call it from Stacy's phone.  He knew there would be a record of Stacy's phone making a call and his phone getting the call.  He was trying to show that he wasn't with her at the time the call was placed.  I'm not sure if everyone sees as much of this guy on the news as we do in Chicago, but he seems like a real cocky jerk.  I hope they nail him soon for both wive's murders.



 

But what's on record is that Drew Peterson called in to take a day off from the Bolingbrook Police Department -- from which he has since resigned -- on Oct. 28, the day Stacy Peterson last was seen by her relatives. He had been scheduled to work at 5 p.m. that day, but called in saying Stacy was missing and he had to watch the kids, police said.

According to the Tribune, Drew Peterson picked up Morphey at about 7 p.m. that evening and took him to a coffee shop. Peterson reportedly told the man he had to go somewhere and left him with a cell phone, instructing him not to answer it.

The phone did ring while Peterson was gone, the Tribune reported. The caller ID said, "Stacy."

According to reports, Peterson came back to the coffee shop and drove Morphey to Peterson's home, where he asked Morphey to help him move something from the house. After moving the plastic container to the SUV, the two left and Peterson dropped Morphey off at his own home, according to the Tribune.

So Mophey can't say where DP went with the barrel.  Wonder how he got it out of the SUV?  It would have to be some where he could push, pull, roll it out and it maybe ..... sink?

I sure hope they are closing in on him ....

What a clown this guy DP is!  We knew the call from Stacy saying she had run away with another man was BS, but I never dreamed he would have left a trail like this! 

OMG, this ex-cop is starting to sound more like "Dumb Crook News"!  :lol:

Godspeed to Stacy's family.  At least we all know he's not getting away with what he did to her or Kathleen!

But from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM, both cars were still in the driveway.

well, DP or his attorney were trying to discredit TM saying he was living in a fantasy land and had all these drug or family problems, etc. so his story was not believable.
But remember there was another witness, the neighbor, who saw DP load a blue barrel into his vehicle, so that makes TWO witnesses.

Then we have to ask what would TM benefit by coming up with this story of helping DP load a blue barrel that could fit SP from the bedroom to the vehicle and then saying he was asked to keep DP phone and not answer it and a call came in from a number saying it was SP.
The only thing TM would benefit would be to slander someone he hated, so maybe to get back at someone he hated?
But then again, why would he do that when DP is someone to be feared.
I can't see any reason that DP is going to get anyone to believe him that TM made this story up.  TM would have more to lose than gain to come up with this story.
& DP has a history of saying his ex-wives had all these problems, so he seems to try to discredit people by saying they have a lot of problems.

How about the bit where he feels like a prisoner in his own home because of the media.
Never thanking the media for helping bring attention to his missing wife so that she may be found safe and sound. :smt022

Distraught Peterson Relative Attempts Suicide
Attorney Denies Barrel, Attempted Suicide Reports

POSTED: 10:22 pm CST November 27, 2007
UPDATED: 5:19 pm CST November 28, 2007


BOLINGBROOK, Ill. -- The attorney for Drew Peterson denies a published report that a Peterson relative tried to kill himself because he feared he may have unwittingly helped dispose of Stacy Peterson's body.

The lawyer for Drew Peterson is denying reports that his client's step brother helped Peterson move a large container out of his home the day Stacy Peterson vanished.


Attorney Joel Brodsky said Peterson's stepbrother, Thomas Morphey, has a history of mental problems, alcoholism and suicide attempts. Brodsky said he might be seeking attention or living in "a fantasy world."

"I don't know what world Thomas Morphey is living in, our world, his world or if he's veering back and forth between the real world and whatever fantasy world he's living in," Brodsky told the AP.

But what's on record is that Drew Peterson called in to take a day off from the Bolingbrook Police Department -- from which he has since resigned -- on Oct. 28, the day Stacy Peterson last was seen by her relatives. He had been scheduled to work at 5 p.m. that day, but called in saying Stacy was missing and he had to watch the kids, police said.

According to the Tribune, Drew Peterson picked up Morphey at about 7 p.m. that evening and took him to a coffee shop. Peterson reportedly told the man he had to go somewhere and left him with a cell phone, instructing him not to answer it.

The phone did ring while Peterson was gone, the Tribune reported. The caller ID said, "Stacy."

According to reports, Peterson came back to the coffee shop and drove Morphey to Peterson's home, where he asked Morphey to help him move something from the house. After moving the plastic container to the SUV, the two left and Peterson dropped Morphey off at his own home, according to the Tribune.

Sharon Bychowski, Peterson's next-door neighbor, said she baby-sat Drew Peterson's children three days later, on the morning of Oct. 31, for 90 minutes. She said Peterson told her he had to visit a relative in the hospital who had tried to commit suicide.

When Peterson returned to pick up his children, she asked how the relative was doing. "He said, 'Lost his job, lost his family,"' Bychowski told the AP.

Police Lt. Ken Teppel said Bolingbrook Fire Department logs show a report of a drug overdose involving sleeping pills for Morphey on Oct. 29 around 11 p.m. He was stabilized and taken to a hospital. The logs indicate Morphey never talked to a police officer, and the Tribune reported that it was a friend of Morphey's who contacted police.

A volunteer who has helped look for Stacy Peterson said searchers were told by police to watch for a large blue plastic barrel.

"They actually even gave me a picture of what we might be looking for," Tim Miller, founder and director of Texas EquuSearch. "It was certainly large enough to put her body in, she only weighed about a hundred pounds."

Melissa Doman, a niece of Kathleen Savio, told the AP she has met Morphey. Doman said the man worked for Drew Peterson and Kathleen Savio, managing a bar they once owned.

"As far as hospitalizations or suicide attempts, I've never heard of it," Doman said.

Last Friday, the Sun-Times said it reported that a neighbor told authorities that he saw Peterson and another man loading the barrel into the SUV. Illinois State Police seized the Denali among other property taken from the Petersons' Bolingbrook home.

Tests conducted on the vehicle at the state police laboratory had not been completed, a source told the Sun-Times last week, according to the Web site. Another source , though, said police located pieces of blue plastic on the back end of the Denali, according to the Sun-Times.

Drew Peterson has denied any involvement in his wife's disappearance.

NBC5's Rob Stafford reported Tuesday night that a person who answered the door at Peterson's house declined to comment on the story in the Sun-Times.

Blue plastic chips found in back of DP truck?  I don't suppose anyone imagined those or they are from anybody's fantasy world at all.

The detail that the barrel was warm just made me ill.  It does not seem to me that this is a detail a person would know to add.  Never occurred to me so I tend to think it wouldn't the average person either.

I haven't seen him on our local news at all.  But I can imagine what you are seeing on the news because I live in the Modesto area and the coverage on Laci Peterson was our main news for the longest time. 

I seen video of Drew Peterson on  foxnews.com and the chicago times or tribune.  I get most of my news on Fox news or I'll do a google search.  Ever since this took place I've been hooked on this case and the more that is revealed about him the more he makes me sick. 

Now that TM has said the blue barrel was warm to the touch and apparently he called out sick from work the same day she went missing is all apparent that he is Guilty.

From the time he was in trouble and lost his job back in the 80's and was reinstated in 86 because no one could prove he was guilty of the crime he committed while on duty.  Just proves to me where all the trouble started.  He got away with the small stuff and moved on tot he big time.  He murdered his 3rd wife Kathy Salvio and got away with it and since he got away with that one he thought he could get away with it again.

What makes me sick is he is drawing $6000 a month from his pension and the people are paying him.  He doesn't deserve it.  IMO

IIRC there are scuba weights that are missing from DP's scuba gear.  It was also mentioned in an article I had read and Drew made a comment that they weren't missing.  I just keep thinking if they aren't missing then show them to the Police.

Yes and this blue barrel, what happened to the blue that was found on the SUV.  I didn't understand if they were skid marks or just pieces of blue in the SUV.  I'm assuming it would be marks left on the vehicle.  That is how I took that statement.

Drew Peterson has a bad track record.

_________________________________

Charges, reinstatement
More than 20 years ago, Peterson was fired from the police department after the village board of police and fire commissioners found him guilty of disobedience, conducting a self-assigned investigation, failure to report a bribe immediately and official misconduct. He had been indicted two months earlier on charges of official misconduct and failure to report a bribe. Peterson was working under the auspices of the Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad at the time. Indictments alleged he solicited drugs in exchange for information about his agency.
The charges later were dropped. Special prosecutor Raymond Bolden said at the time that the charges were not provable.

Peterson won reinstatement with the department in March 1986. Judge Edwin Grabiec ruled police and fire commissioners lacked sufficient evidence to find Peterson guilty of the charges.

Yes they mentioned the scuba weights missing on TV the other night.

What I would like to know is how did they know to look for these specific weights.  Who told them about the weights.  Couldn't DP say I never had any weights and I don't know what you are talking about.  Someone told the police about the weights.

Aren't weights part of necessary equipment in Scuba gear?  I would think if one has Scuba gear, weights should be present.  A search for evidence might be as much about what's not found, as what is found, and the police may just have noticed their absence.  Especially if one of the searchers is a scuba diver.  :smt102

Stacy told clergyman Drew killed ex

November 29, 2007
BY MICHAEL SNEED

Sneed hears Stacy Peterson told a clergyman in August that her husband had claimed to have killed his former wife Kathleen Savio and made it look like an accident.

A source close to the investigation tells Sneed the 23-year-old, who had been pregnant and living with Peterson when Savio was found dead in an empty bathtub in 2004, also told two other people close to her about her husband's statements regarding Savio's demise.

On Sunday, Oct. 28, the day Stacy disappeared, she told Peterson she was leaving him and issued this ultimatum: She was going to begin divorce proceedings, and she wanted him out of the house by Wednesday, according to the source.

The source believes it was the day of Stacy's ultimatum that her life may have ended. Stacy had told friends recently that if she disappeared, it wouldn't be her doing.

Savio, Peterson's third wife, was found dead shortly before their divorce settlement was concluded.

Peterson has been declared a suspect in Stacy's disappearance. The case has been labeled a "potential homicide" and appears to be moving swiftly toward a homicide investigation.

"All we need now is the body," the source said.

FBI search specialists, called in by State Police, were in Lockport on Wednesday assessing the Cal-Sag Channel, where they think Stacy's body may have been dumped. Investigators selected that location because of certain cell phone calls placed in that area.

Police are discussing salvage operations with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in hopes they will bring in heavy equipment to dredge the area. "The police have already put down underwater cameras, which show it's cluttered with cars and truck trailers . . . and it needs to be cleared for divers," a source said.

The source offered this timeline for the day Stacy issued her ultimatum:

At 5 p.m. on Oct. 28, Peterson, a Bolingbrook cop, called in to take the day off.

At 7 p.m., Peterson met his stepbrother, Tom Morphey, at a local Starbucks and discussed "the problems he was having with Stacy and how to dispose of the problem," the source said.

Peterson reportedly excused himself and left Morphey in the coffee shop with Peterson's cell phone, which he told Morphey NOT to answer if it rang. The phone did ring after Peterson's departure, and the name "Stacy" appeared on the caller ID.

The source tells Sneed the call was made near the home of her friend Scott Rossetto, a man Stacy was communicating with via cell phone text messages.

The source believes this was an attempt by Peterson to place the focus of the police investigation on Stacy's friend.

Later that evening, Morphey was again summoned by Peterson -- only this time to his home, where he was reportedly asked to help Peterson remove a plastic blue barrel, which he described to police as feeling warm, and load it into a sport-utility vehicle, sources said.

The next day, Stacy was reported missing and one day later, Morphey apparently attempted suicide. While being treated at Edward Hospital in Naperville, Morphey was visited by Peterson on Oct. 30, the source said.

Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, claimed Morphey's story makes no sense and described him as a man with psychological issues.

"There never was a blue barrel; there never was any carrying objects out," Brodsky said.

Meanwhile, the police are awaiting the results of an autopsy on the body of Savio, which was exhumed Nov. 13.

Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow recently stated Savio's death appeared to have been staged as an accident.

An independent autopsy conducted by former New York City chief medical examiner Michael Baden, at the request of Savio's family, concluded Savio died after a struggle, and her body was placed in the bathtub.

And the story, which has garnered national headlines and has talking TV mouths salivating, has now moved into a new chapter.

SORRY if this has been posted.

Chicago Sun Times
 
November 29, 2007 Thursday
 
Helper's messy history; Tidy home belies long rap sheet, drug ills
 
Thomas Morphey is known in his Bolingbrook subdivision for his award-winning Christmas light display and meticulously striped lawn. But his home's tidy facade belies his messy history of substance abuse issues and a lengthy rap sheet.

Morphey, 40, was identified by police sources Tuesday as the man who said he helped Drew Peterson load a large barrel into Peterson's SUV on Oct. 28, the day Peterson's 23-year-old wife, Stacy, disappeared.

About 11:20 p.m. Oct. 29, Bolingbrook police responded to a 911 call for an attempted suicide from Morphey's home. Since then, he hasn't been home in "several" weeks, his girlfriend, Sheryl Alcox, said Wednesday.

"He's in therapy," she said.

Dawn Fico, who has lived next door to Morphey for seven years, said the suicide attempt was "totally out of character."

While Fico described him as "very quiet, laid back," others haven't been as generous.

In 1993, an ex-girlfriend twice sought orders of protection against Morphey, claiming he left threatening messages on her answering machine telling her to "watch your back, don't go to sleep, you'll be taken care of," according to court documents.

Throughout the 1990s, Morphey accumulated domestic violence arrests in DuPage County. He pleaded guilty to battery in exchange for supervision, which was revoked when he twice failed to show for his court-ordered psychological evaluation.

In 1997, Morphey was arrested and convicted twice for drunken driving. During one drunken driving arrest in Sugar Grove, he allegedly told the arresting officer he was "going to get Seagram's for the guy with the glasses."

but I thought even tho clergy do have confidentiality promises, if it is something like murder they are allowed to go to the police - of course the police being dp friends unless it is different police -  well . . .
so why didn't the clergyman say something or did he?

What must that have felt like for SP to have lived in the same house knowing he said he killed his other wife?

& why isn't there anything in the news about them investigating the brother of the boyfriend who disapproved of DP who DP found hanged?  come on - when will they catch on to this serial killer?

and of course we are going to believe DP's attorney brodsky who claims morphey's story makes no sense - especially since just like all attorneys anything that comes out of brodsky's mouth is paid for by DP.  After all, brodsky didn't live in the house, so he has no right saying there was no blue barrel, but of course he will say whatever DP will tell him to say and DP has a lot of $ for attorneys since he got the 1M life insurance after he knocked off KS

I wonder how the children are doing.
I am sorry SP that you didn't get out sooner
I am so sorry

Steve Carcerano was with Drew Peterson today.

Steve Carcerano said he spoke to Mark Fuhrman today and Mark asked him to ask DP about the blue barrel.  He said he asked Drew about the blue barrel and he said Drew looked him straight in the eye and said he didn't do it and don't know anyone else who did it and the cat and the hat didn't do it.

He said he is still sticking by Drew.

2.  Cassandra reported her missing at a "weird time"...I think the quote was, "Was she waiting for the bars to close, or what?"  (what a #&)@!!)!!!!    And something along the lines of "Most people would wait till morning!!!! 

3.  Drew NEVER saw Morphey on the day Stacey went missing and had major mental issues.

4.  Claims the story about the barrel is totally false...and it has gone from barrel to container to "tote bag"...(huh....I heard "tote"  but not "tote bag".....apparently Brodsky doesn't know the difference).

Steve C. is on now....defending DiP as usual!

________________________________

Why didn't Drew call in the missing persons report.  He still hasn't even tried to help look for her.  He is Guilty IMO and I wish they could find her body so they can arrest him and get those kids out of that house.

What does back peddling mean?  Sorry - sounds like peddling backwards on your bike.   Please fill me in.

Carlie - you are so right - didn't he make a missing person's report?
This is an excellent point if true.

& the brodsky guy is like I said just a paid person - he is paid by DP to say whatever anyone says against DP is wrong.
To question when someone called in a missing persons report is ridiculous, unless they waited to long to call it in.   It was when it dawned on the person (sister Cassandra) that the person MUST be missing.  Brodsky is just a paid card.
So far he doesn't really have anything to defend DP with.

Also, I was thinking it had to be a barrel - not a "container" because it was carrying caustic chlorine supposedly and would need to be a barrel to carry a liquid like that I believe.

and DP says the cat in the hat didn't do it.????
Again, joking around or talking crass, instead of acting like he has any concern for Stacy.  There is something very wrong with that guy, and many people see it. :2thinky:

I caught bits a pieces of Greta and I am just amazed at how DP & atty and his one friend can sit there and say everyone is wrong crazy and lying?  Here are 50 people with one story and DP with his, every one is wrong, yet he is honest?  He is so full of crap, his eyes should be brown. 

He is an accomplished liar. 

That whole bar bit with the sister reporting at 4:00 am.  That has been discussed back in the beginning.  She didn't just randomly stop by the police station at 4 the way he made it sound.  The atty. made himself look bad on that one imo.  How about his client who never reported her missing at all.

I can't imagine this atty. getting enough money to tarnish his rep. by being associated with DP.  I know the publicity is good for business and all but surely he does not believe DP.  I surely wouldn't go on tv spreading the word.  Any word.

for one thing with this brodsky attorney guy says morphey's story makes no sense - okay, all we have to do is go ask the starbuck's crew who saw DP & TM together that night - of the the Starbucks' employees would have for sure.

Then Jennifer - you are sooooo right about him being an accomplished liar.
One thing his first three wives collaborated on was that he cheated so much on all of them and lying goes along with cheating.

Now don't go insulting brown eyes! :wink:

and if he wants to put down sister Cassandra - let's compare Cassandra's relationship & DP's relationship to SP.
Cassandra and Stacy look so cute together in all their pictures - you can tell they really loved each other.
I don't see the same affection from the husband DP at all.
Cassandra sounds so believable in the video I saw where she was really grieving her sister.
DP sounded like he wanted everyone to get back on with their lives and just forget about Stacy - he didn't once express any kind of love or past love for her. He was colder than ice.
So yes, he is going to attack Cassandra because her love is evident for her sister and he knows he is full of s.

I wondered if they have already verified the story with the starbucks crew as well.  Seems relatively simple to figure out if they were there or not.  Would be super sweet if DP bought coffee with a check card .... I am sure he would have used cash, wishful thinking.  He had to have slipped up somewhere.  So now he is saying Morphey made up this whole blue barrel thing and the neighbor that saw them moving it did also ....

Once again .... everyone is a liar but the liar ... and he is going to go on TV (or his spokesman rather) You would think he was almost trying to look guilty as sin or at the very least just a very unlikeable person.

Aly, no offense about the brown eyes ... :wink:  Apparently, I am a sucker for them, I am married to a brown eyed guy ...

The following article brings up the repeating story that several of the wives testify dp said he could kill them and make it look like an accident.
the title is did cops protect one of their own.
my answer?  you betcha
ks called them and said he was threatening her life and they "thoroughly investigated" and found nothing.
how is that nothing?????
then she dies and it is ruled an accidental drowning in her bathtub.
uh huh.
right
dp was so confident with his ability to get rid of his wife #3 who he would have to pay out a lot of $ to with their 2 kids,
that he ended her life.
then sp became "a problem" when she started waking up to the nightmare she was living, and dp was sure he could easily get rid of wife #4 - TM said he said help me get rid of this problem.
he would just make sp disappear and people would think she was missing and voila, he would be back to his happy life and onto wife #5.
he didn't anticipate anyone questioning anything.

   Peterson case: Did cops protect one of their own?Story Highlights
NEW: Police called 18 times in two years, but Sgt. Drew Peterson never arrested

Domestic disturbance calls involved third wife, Kathleen Savio, now dead

Fourth wife Stacy Peterson has been missing since October 28

Police have named Peterson a suspect in Stacy's disappearance

 Read  VIDEO TIMELINE 
     
BOLINGBROOK, Illinois (AP) -- Eighteen times in two years, Bolingbrook police were called to fellow officer Drew Peterson's home because of trouble between husband and wife.

 
Kathleen Savio, the third wife of Sgt. Drew Peterson, was found dead in a bathtub in 2004.
 1 of 3  But Peterson's wife could never get authorities to arrest him. In fact, she was the only one ever charged.

Now residents of this Chicago suburb are wondering whether police were protecting one of their own -- and whether they bear some responsibility for what happened next.

Peterson's wife at the time of the domestic disturbance calls, Kathleen Savio, was found dead in 2004 under mysterious circumstances. And now his current wife, Stacy, is missing and feared slain.

The way police dealt with Peterson "makes it kind of hard to trust cops," said Pablo Delira, a 59-year-old construction worker. He said he has no doubt he would have been led away in handcuffs if police had been called to his house 18 times.

Kim Camplin, who works in the clothing business, said Bolingbrook police should have taken the domestic disturbance calls more seriously.

"It doesn't matter if it's a fireman, a policeman or a clergyman -- all it should take is one call and it should be taken seriously," she said. "What faith can we have in the system?"

Peterson, 53, was a police sergeant and 29-year veteran of the force, resigning earlier this month after he came under suspicion in his current wife's disappearance in October.  Watch what Stacy Peterson reportedly told a priest »

Police: Cop husband a suspect
In a roughly two-year period beginning in 2002, police responded to 18 domestic disturbance calls at Peterson's house. Savio accused Peterson of beating her and threatening to kill her, but no charges were ever brought against him.

Instead, Peterson twice persuaded prosecutors to charge Savio with domestic battery. She was acquitted both times.

Police Lt. Ken Teppel said that in all 18 instances, police conducted a thorough investigation. He said a department inquiry found no indication officers did anything wrong or violated procedure.

But Teppel acknowledged the case has damaged the department's reputation.

"There is a distrust ... that this is going to be covered up," he said. "It's so hard to get over that."

Savio was found dead in her bathtub in 2004, and a coroner's jury ruled it an accidental drowning. But since Stacy Peterson's disappearance, investigators have re-examined Savio's death and exhumed her body, and said they now believe it was a homicide made to look like an accident.

Peterson has not been named a suspect in Savio's death. But authorities said he is suspected in Stacy Peterson's disappearance. Peterson has denied any wrongdoing in either case and said he believes his current wife left him for another man and is still alive.

The Bolingbrook department has handed the investigation over to the Illinois State Police -- standard practice in criminal cases involving a member of the force.

Not everyone in the community of about 70,000 blames the department.

"I haven't lost one iota of trust in the police department," said Stephen DeFreeuw, a 16-year resident. "One rogue cop."

Teppel said street cops in the 122-member department are being reminded about the proper way to handle domestic calls and are being told they are expected to adhere to the rules, no matter who answers when they knock on the door.

Teppel said Police Chief Ray McGrury has made it clear: "There are no favorites."

Savio and Stacy Peterson were Peterson's third and fourth wives. He and wives No. 1 and 2 divorced.

Vicki Connolly, Peterson's second wife, has said that during their marriage, an increasingly controlling Peterson hit her and told her he could kill her and make it look like an accident.

Connolly said police sometimes came to the house when the couple were having problems, but she said the officers were friends of theirs and no reports ever were filed. E-mail to a friend

Missing Mom Stacy Peterson's Family Wants Husband, Drew, to Take Lie Detector Test
Friday, November 30, 2007

 AP

 The family of missing mother Stacy Peterson wants her husband to take a lie detector test to prove that he has nothing to hide about her disappearance.

Drew Peterson, 53 and a former police sergeant, is a suspect in his wife's disappearance. He denies any involvement and claims that she left him for another man. Stacy was reported missing Oct. 29 by her family after she failed to show up at a friend's house.

Cassandra Cales, Stacy Peterson's sister, wants Drew to take a lie detector test about his knowledge of a blue barrel or container that she said she saw in their garage two days before Stacy disappeared.

report in the Naperville Sun.

"He says there was no barrel," Cales said. "There was a barrel; I saw it with my own eyes. I'll take a lie detector test. I feel Drew should take a lie detector test also."

Joel Brodsky, Drew Peterson's attorney, denies any container is missing from the home.

"There never was a drum," said Joel Brodsky, Drew Peterson's attorney. "The whole thing seems like a never-ending rumor that started with comments that Stacy's sister made."

Earlier this week, Illinois State Police identified the person they think may have helped Peterson move a large blue container from his bedroom to his vehicle the day after Stacy disappeared.

A law enforcement source told WFLD FOX Chicago that the man who helped load a barrel into Peterson's SUV tried to commit suicide the next day.

Meanwhile, Peterson's attorney is disputing a report that Stacy Peterson told a clergyman in August that her husband confessed to her that he killed his former wife, Kathleen Savio, and made it look like an accident.

Brodsky told FOX News that Drew Peterson was "totally amazed and in disbelief" when he heard about the report.

"It's disturbing that a clergyman would violate his oath of confidentiality," Brodsky said.

Kathleen Savio was found dead in her bathtub in 2004, and at the time, her death was ruled accidental. Savio died shortly before her divorce settlement with Drew Peterson was finalized.

Stacy told her husband she was leaving him and divorcing him the day before she was reported missing by her family, telling him to be out of the house in a few days, according to the source.

Peterson, who recently resigned as an officer from the Bolingbrook police department, was scheduled to work at 5 p.m. Oct. 28 but called in to take a personal or sick day, Bolingbrook police Lt. Ken Teppel told FOX News.

Brodsky said the family member has a history of mental problems, alcoholism and suicide attempts. The family member might want attention or be living in "a fantasy world," Brodsky said.

FOX News' Greta Van Susteren contributed to this report.

Relative's Pal: Peterson Paid For Barrel Disposal
Friend Claims Drew's Step-Brother Was 'In Panic'

POSTED: 7:52 am CST November 30, 2007
UPDATED: 3:19 pm CST November 30, 2007


BOLINGBROOK, Ill. -- A new voice is being heard in the case of a missing Bolingbrook woman.

A friend of the relative of Drew Peterson who has said that he fears he helped the former Bolingbrook police sergeant dispose of Stacy Peterson's body is saying that Peterson paid for that assistance.

Images: Search For Stacy
Video: New Voice Heard
Video: Martineck On Today 
 
 Walter Martineck Jr. appeared on the "Today" show Friday morning telling Meredith Viera that the man who is being portrayed as an instable alcoholic by Peterson attorney Joel Brodsky is actually a "down to earth" guy who has been Martineck's friend since the two were teenagers.

Martineck said that the man came to his house in a panic the night that he helped Peterson. Martineck said the Peterson relative said, "I know she was in there," referring to Stacy Peterson and a large container he claims he helped his step-brother move from a bedroom to the back of Peterson's SUV.

You are correct with the backpeddeling.  It is a figure of speach.  A person will say one thing and then he/she in turn tries to take back what they said or try and make it appear that they meant something else.

Nope he didn't make a missing persons report.  As a matter of fact he called out sick the day she went missing. 

I don't know if I'm supposed to mention this or not.  You can give me 40 lashes if I'm not.  LOL
But I have found another place to read and Cassandra is also there.  In the midst of so much there is actually one other person that is dead and another missing that is also connected with Drew Peterson
During the time the DP was married to wife #2 he was apparently cheating on her while the wife left for work with a young lady down the street.  The brother found out and told DP to stop seeing his sister and if he didn't he was going to tell his wife.  According to sorces this young man was found hung 2 days later and it was ruled a suicide and DP was the first person on the scene. 
In the case of the other missing persons, it is Tom Morphy's wife from 10 years ago.  Not the talk is that Tom may have owed DP a favor and that is why he was helping him move the container, barrel or whatever it may be.  Tom Morphy's wife has never been found.  Things are just getting more and more crazy in this case.  I bet they find more people missing and or dead that are around Drew Peterson.  This case is far from over.

Jennifer -
about the brown eyes - no worries - I knew you were JK!  I was too.
Glad you found a good guy with brown eyes! :2blove:  Ha!

Carlie -
Thank you so much for explaining the backpeddling.
I like that term!

You are kidding me!  You are kidding me!
This is the first I heard of TM's wife missing ten years ago!
& sure it is fine to say if you have another missing persons blog you check, if that is what you mean.

OK, so we have:

1)  SP mother missing (but I thot it was before she met DP?)
2)  Brother of DP's girlfriend dating while DP with wife #2? found dead
     boyfriend disapproved of his sister being with this married cop and
     the married cop DP happened upon the boyfriend supposedly hung himself
     & DP was the one to find him. 
3)  KS = wife #3 found drowned and death ruled accident until now and body exhumed and one medical examiner ruled death a homicide someone tried to coverup = beat to death? just before financials were finished being decided and DP collected 1M from her death as well as her kids with him collected 1M or something like that
4)  SP = wife #4 missing and thought to be hid in blue barrel and disposed of
5)  DP's relative, TM, has wife missing 10 years ago
     and this is same man who is saying he helped dispose of SP

OK, are there more?  Here are five people mentioned to have died or disappeared under suspicious circumstances with bad relationships with DP

Yeah, so as I said before it is like some of the crime library stories.
There was this Grandma who had people die around in her life for years and years, and no one ever suspected her since she was a Grandma and guess what.   It was her - the serial killer was her!

The difference between DP & TM I thought was that maybe TM had a drop of conscience (sp?) left, since he told some people he maybe helped dispose of SP and broke down.  But that was what I thought before I heard that his wife went missing.  I guess in this family, you get rid of people by killing them instead of getting a divorce or something like that.

aly, when you list them all like this it does look like DP was involved in all of their disappearances.  I haven't read all these posts but this is just nuts.  How one man could be connected to all of these disappearances.  This guy is like a serial murderer.

Carlie & San -
I can only find one cbs video of dp attorney brodsky talking & that is the only source of saying tm wife missing?
so wondering if that is just dp attorney slinging mud again at tm or if it is in fact a fact.
the theory of tm being involved to pay back a favor in quite interesting tho.   "You help me dispose of my wife, and I'll help you dispose of yours."

What do you think about this angle that he came to help move a blue barrel out of the bedroom to the suv and it was warm to the touch and then AFTER the fact thinks it might be sp - meaning what do you think of the angle that he was so unaware of what was in the barrel????? :shock:
I don't know about you, but if someone asked me to move a large barrel out of the bedroom (like someone posted - oh yeah, like we all keep blue barrels in our bedroom), I would definitely ask, what is in this barrel?????
So that makes it hard to believe tm didn't know about sp in the barrel, and I agree with the person who said tm better get himself an attorney, becuz he will need to defend himself if in fact this story is true - which I believe it probably is.  Like I said, tm has more to lose than gain by coming out with the story.  He hopefully is telling the truth and coming out to clear his conscience for sp sake.

Email from Colleague In Bolingbrook, Illinois
by Greta Van Susteren

I just got this email from my FNC colleague Jeff Goldblatt..he is in Bolingbrook, Illinois covering the Sgt Peterson/Stacy Peterson story and it looks like things are getting pretty raw in that neighborhood:

It’s getting downright kooky here. Sharon got a special permit from the city to put up some big party tents in the cul-de-sac for a prayer vigil this afternoon. But Drew Peterson seems bent on getting in the way.

At some point yesterday afternoon, someone sympathetic to Drew, put a few orange construction cones out in front of his house on the street, so no one could park there. This morning, Drew’s brother, Paul informed us of the plan: to pull a big truck up in front of his house to block the view from the media–and the street in the process.

Earlier this morning, his brother, Paul put orange cones on the street…

Undaunted, an enraged Sharon told me she called the cops. Then, had friends hustle 4 cars into the “saved” spots. It was a frenetic scene there for a few minutes!

I told Sharon this was like the Hatfields and McCoys. Her reply: “No, this is a man who murdered his wife!”

All this drama, and the vigil is still hours away.

I just wanted to let you all know that there was a MASSIVE turnout for today's search!!!  I estimate about 150+ searchers were there in the registration room.  People were there from Lake Zurich, Indiana, etc.  It was so wonderful to see so many turn out even when the weather is forecast to be bad!

my tactics would be instead of searching
since it seems dp possibly destroyed all evidence
I would play "Columbo" and follow up on all clues.
I also like how Columbo would "harrass" the suspect, until the suspect would get upset just like dp is getting so upset at the media.
Obviously if his wife was missing and he ever cared about her, he would appreciate some of the media exposure to bring back the loving mother of his kids - remember he said she was a good mother.

Here is something from crime library blog about a Larissa Schuster.
Someone there found a similarity (sp?) to the blue barrel.
A wife and her boyfriend destroyed of the husband (if I read this right - I skimmed it really fast) and MAYBE THIS IS WHERE DP GOT HIS IDEA! if in fact there is a blue barrel with chlorine and the pool company did in fact call the police because of an abnormally large purchase of chlorine by dp.
Prepare yourself - it is pretty gory as is the sp case if this in fact happened.

I am telling you - dp is is ssscccaaaaarrrreeeeyyyyyyyy! :smt065 :shock:

The Back Story: Fagone Trial 11-28-2006 Action News Reporter DeAnna McQueen reports with today's "Back Story."
11/28/2006 - The prosecution is trying to prove the victim, Tim Schuster, was tortured and killed. Tuesday, Fresno County forensic pathologist, Dr. Venu Gopal, painted quite a chilling picture.

The autopsy was performed July 15, 2003. He detailed how during the autopsy, special precautions had to be taken because of the chemicals involved. Those participating had to wear hazardous material clothing.
Gopal testified the barrel was x-rayed. All of the contents were documented. The pathologist said he had to drill holes in the 55-gallon blue barrel to get fluid samples. He said he found a blackish sludge at the bottom.

Once the body was taken out, Gopal said he photographed the lower part of the body, because the upper half had been dissolved by hydrochloric acid. In fact, he said, only 103 pounds of Tim Schuster was left.

In graphic detail, Gopal described how what skin was left had been bleached and the only organs were Schuster's liver and kidneys. He said since there were no teeth or fingers to take prints, he had to identify the body using DNA.

Gopal ruled the death as a probable combination of acute chloroform exposure and hydrochloric immersion. Gopal said he was unable to determine whether Tim Schuster was alive at the time of death, but it was probable. He also said a recent dead body can emit sounds because there is gas in the body.

The prosecution played a videotape of an interview with James Fagone, conducted by the Clovis Police Department. In it, Fagone is wearing a baseball cap, a stripped t-shirt, shorts and slaps. He seems very comfortable as he discussed his relationship with his co-defendant, Larissa Schuster. Fagone described Larissa as, "constantly whining and complaining", about her estranged . . .

Man may have been alive when stuffed in container

Police affidavits describe confession of James Fagone as the case against him, victim's wife unfold.

By Michael Baker
The Fresno Bee
(Updated Saturday, August 2, 2003, 4:17 AM)

Timothy Schuster may have been alive when corrosive chemicals were poured over him in the moments before he was sealed into a blue plastic barrel used to store chemical waste.

Such a scenario is given by the former award-winning student allegedly enlisted by Schuster's estranged wife to kill the 45-year-old Clovis man, according to affidavits written by police and sworn to in Fresno County Superior Court.

The affidavits, which The Bee obtained Thursday, were filed to support search warrants served during the investigation of Larissa Schuster, 42, and James Fagone, 21. Both have pleaded innocent to possible death penalty allegations of lying in wait, kidnapping, torturing and murdering Timothy Schuster for financial gain.

In one affidavit, police give a brief but chilling version of Fagone's confession:

At 2 a.m. on July 10, Fagone and Larissa Schuster went to her husband's Clovis home and "used a stun gun to disable him when he answered the front door. They then took him through the house and tied him up. They put him in his truck and drove him to Larissa's Clovis house. There they stuffed him in a plastic barrel and poured caustic chemicals over him. They then sealed the barrel." Larissa Schuster's attorney, Roger Nuttall, said he would not give details but said he has uncovered evidence that questions Fagone's truthfulness.

"From what little we know, I can't say that I place a good deal of stock in what he's saying," Nuttall said.

"I'm saying that it's not such that I don't have a lot of questions concerning his veracity."

Fagone's attorney, public defender Peter Jones, said, "It would be inappropriate to comment at this juncture."

And while Clovis police initially told reporters that Timothy Schuster was killed before being put in the chemical drum, they are now unsure.

"There is a possibility he may still have been alive when he was placed in the barrel, but again, we're waiting for determination from the Coroner's Office," said Clovis police spokeswoman Janet Stoll-Lee.

Fresno County's chief forensic pathologist, Venu Gopal, who performed Schuster's autopsy, said a cause of death is not yet able to be made public. He did say that Schuster could have been "still alive or dying at the time of them putting him in the barrel."

The Coroner's Office has ordered DNA tests to confirm the body's identification, but Clovis police say they are convinced it is Schuster.

Other details of Fagone's confession are also given in the warrant served to search his home. Fagone told detectives:

The day after sealing Timothy Schuster's body into the barrel, and after detectives interviewed Larissa Schuster for the first time, Fagone and the biochemist moved the chemical drum to her Fresno business.

Then on July 12, "Larissa called him and asked his help to move the barrel again, but he refused saying he had had enough."

Before Fagone reportedly confessed on July 15, police had already built up a strong suspicion about Larissa Schuster after interviewing several of the employees of her business, Central California Research Laboratories.

According to affidavits, employees reported that Larissa Schuster had displayed hatred of her husband and often wished him dead.

After 191/2 years of marriage, the Schusters were embroiled in a bitter divorce, fighting over custody of their 12-year-old son and financial assets totaling millions of dollars.

She asked one employee whether he thought she would be able to fit her husband's body in a large blue plastic drum, kept at the business to store chemical waste.

"Two employees reported that when they heard that Timothy was missing, they joked about Larissa's comments about stuffing him in a barrel," police said. "They then went to see if the barrel was still there [and] were surprised to see that it had disappeared."

At least six search warrants have been issued during the investigation of Schuster and Fagone.

On July 11, the day after the obsessively punctual Timothy Schuster missed several appointments, police searched his Clovis home. They found his wallet and cell phone, items friends say the man would have not left.

On July 14 and 15, police searched Larissa Schuster's Clovis home, her business and a self-storage unit she used. They confiscated several items including blond wigs, hair and bloody tennis shoes from Schuster's home; and Fagone's time sheets, chemical order invoices, saws and a mop and bucket from the business.

Inside the storage unit, police found a barrel wrapped in a cardboard cover with a shipping label from Larissa Schuster's business. Inside the drum was the decomposing and partially dismembered body police believe is Timothy Schuster.

Police arrested Fagone July 15 and Schuster the next day.

On July 18, police searched Fagone's home, where detectives seized receipts for a stun gun and a 14-inch cable tie, bank statements, a folding buck knife and computer equipment.

On July 21, detectives again searched Larissa Schuster's business. This time, they seized computer equipment after being told Schuster possibly destroyed evidence by deleting files of invoices, e-mails and financial transactions.

When asked about several of the details provided in the warrants, Clovis police said they would not comment further.

"There are certain aspects and different aspects of this case that only people involved would know, and it would jeopardize our case if that information became public at this time," Stoll-Lee said. "The case is still under investigation, and as information becomes available which can be released, either we will release it or you will find it in court documents."

A review of the warrants shows police interviewed witnesses who were able to pick up the narrative of July 12 where Fagone left off:

Larissa Schuster called an employee and asked for help renting a truck with a lift gate. The employee believes Schuster used the truck to travel to the storage unit.

For months, the employee had rented the storage unit in her name, but Schuster paid the bill. The unit, Schuster said, was to hide property from her husband until their divorce was final.

When Schuster returned the truck, the employee noticed blood on one of Larissa's shoes.

"I'm pretty certain there will be a valid explanation for that," Nuttall said.

Larissa Schuster was arrested at a St. Louis airport and was flown back to Fresno on July 17. She was arraigned the next day with Fagone.

The pair, who appeared in court together Wednesday, have their next court date scheduled for Aug. 28, when a judge will determine whether there is sufficient evidence to order them to trial. If so ordered, Fresno County prosecutors will later decide whether to seek the death penalty.

Peterson Rips 'Package' Claim as Work of 'Crazies'
Ex-Cop Whose Wife Disappeared Tells ABC News He Had Not Heard Police Suggestion He Approached Truck Drivers to Transport 'Package'
Drew Peterson. (ABC News) By CHRISTINE BROUWER
Dec. 1, 2007

   


 Share In an exclusive phone interview, Drew Peterson denied all knowledge of a new police report suggesting he asked two truck drivers at a Bolingbrook, Ill., truck stop to transport a package for him the night his wife, Stacy Peterson, disappeared.

"I have no knowledge of anything like that," Peterson told ABC News. "It's the first I've heard of it."

Peterson called the report "totally fictitious," and added, "It wasn't me."


Peterson's denial came after the Illinois State Police released a statement saying: "On Oct. 29, 2007, at approximately 3:30 a.m., two truck drivers were approached by two men at a truck stop in Bolingbrook, Ill. One of the two men is believed to be Drew Peterson and the other described as a white male, early 50's, salt-and-pepper hair, with a stocky build. The two men request the truck drivers to transport a package to an undisclosed location. Upon reaching the location, the men would regain possession of the package and continue transporting it to a location not accessible by semi-trailers."

Stacy Peterson, 23, vanished from her home in Bolingbrook on Oct. 28. Since she was reported missing a day later, suspicion has swirled around Drew Peterson, 53, her husband and a former sergeant at the Bolingbrook Police Department. Police named Peterson a suspect in his wife's disappearance three weeks ago.

Peterson has denied any involvement in his wife's disappearance.

Anthony Laatz, a close friend of Stacy Peterson and her family, said those looking for the missing mother-of-two are excited about today's new developments in the case.


"We're definitely excited," Laatz told ABC News from the house of Sharon Bychowski, Drew and Stacy Peterson's neighbor, where the searchers gathered tonight after spending the day searching for signs of Stacy in the blistering cold.

"The fact that the police is releasing [this information] means they're getting close to something," Laatz said.

Drew Peterson, meanwhile, shrugged off tonight's report.

"I think it's a couple of more crazies coming out of the woodwork," Peterson told ABC News. "I got girlfriends from 30 years coming out of the woodwork. I'm waiting for my seventh grade prom date to say that I was a bad kisser."

Stacy Peterson was Drew Peterson's fourth wife. His third wife, Kathleen Savio, was found dead in a bathtub in 2004 in what the coroner at the time ruled was an accidental drowning. The Will County state's attorney has since called her death suspicious.

Today, more than 200 people braved freezing temperatures to search areas in Chicago's southwestern suburbs Saturday looking for signs of Stacy Peterson. But the search was called off after four hours when snow and sleet thwarted the effort. Dozens of people also attended a candlelight vigil in Romeoville to pray for her safe return.

A few minutes ago on Fox, Jamie Colby (i think it was her) was interviewing Drew's attorney via telephone.  He was angry that people are jumping all over the latest trucker account, among others, yet, when his client recieves a letter in the mail with a siteing of Stacy in Peoria, people don't believe it.  Jamie asked him if the police were following up on the letter Drew received.  His answer?  The police have subpoened the letter from Drew.  Jamie either didn't catch that or ignored it; no follow up questions like why didn't Drew turn this letter over to the police????

Interesting article. Klaas, should it be in Nailah's thread also?


Why aren't the cops hassling Peterson?
Potts isn't officially a suspect in Nailah's murder -- but he's in jail

December 2, 2007
BY MARY MITCHELL Sun-Times Columnist
Why isn't Drew Peterson in jail? Given that Peterson has been named a suspect in the disappearance of his wife, Stacy Peterson, why is he still walking around enjoying his notoriety?

Obviously, Peterson is innocent until proven guilty. But he has been called a suspect by top officials with the State Police. It seems strange that he is still out and about.


 
Drew Peterson has been named a suspect in the disappearance of his 23-year-old wife, Stacy.







"Just because someone is a suspect in a case doesn't mean they need to be taken into custody," said Master Sgt. Luis Gutierrez, spokesman for the State Police.

"We identified [Peterson] as a suspect because we believe him to be connected to the missing person case involving his wife, Stacy Peterson. It's not unusual."

Maybe not.

But I've never reported on a case in which someone deemed a suspect is free to come and go as he or she pleases. Unless that person has fled, usually the police find a way to get the person off the street.

Despite explosive headline stories -- the most recent in which a source told columnist Michael Sneed that Stacy told a clergyman Peterson killed his third wife, Kathleen Savio, Drew Peterson is not being hassled.

Released, picked up again
I find that ironic, when comparing Peterson's case with the recent case of another man whose name has been linked with the disappearance and homicide of another Chicago area woman.

In that other case, Reginald Potts Jr., the young man who once dated Nailah Franklin, hadn't been called a suspect or even a person of interest. However, he has been locked up repeatedly -- four times to be exact -- since Franklin's body was found in Calumet City on Sept. 27.

Potts, who had a criminal background that included an incident in which he escaped FBI custody, was stopped for a malfunctioning taillight within days after Franklin's body was found. On Oct. 5, he was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery for allegedly threatening a gas station attendant in the South Loop.

Things spiraled downhill from there.

When Potts went to the Maywood courthouse Oct. 30 for a court hearing seeking visitation with one of his children, he was arrested for violating an order of protection. How did he violate that order? Police say he sent a fax to the child's mother notifying her of the court date, allegedly violating the no-contact order. Then, as sheriff's deputies attempted to arrest him for the alleged violation, they charged that Potts resisted arrest and "struck a sheriff's deputy with his elbow."

So Potts posted bond. But upon his release, he was again picked up Nov. 8 by the Cook County sheriff on a DuPage County warrant issued Oct. 10, for having violated a different order of protection filed by his estranged wife. In that incident, the alleged violation happened after Potts' sister inadvertently forwarded an e-mail Potts had written to his family and friends to the mother of two of his children.

'Trying to make his life miserable'
While in custody again, Potts could not attend a Nov. 9 court date in the Maywood case. So the judge in the Maywood case issued a no-bond warrant for Potts, despite being notified that Potts could not attend because he was in custody in DuPage County. He was arrested by Maywood Police after posting $50,000 bail in DuPage County.

Potts' attorney, Bill Murphy, has called the police action "harassment," saying he has never seen anything like this in his 39-year career.

"I just think some people have gotten together and they are trying to make his life miserable," Murphy told a reporter.

On Nov. 26, Potts was back in the Maywood courtroom, where he was sentenced to 100 days in Cook County Jail for the two violations of the orders of protection. Handcuffed and in custody, Potts was also charged with felony aggravated battery for allegedly hitting two deputies during the hearing process.

A couple of Potts' friends called me after they saw him in court last Monday.

"When he was in custody, Reginald told the judge that he had been assaulted by police. Reginald made a statement in open court that he had been assaulted, but the judge said she didn't see any bruises," said the *******, who asked for anonymity.

The medical records from Loyola University Medical Center show Potts was treated in the emergency room on that date for a "minor head and wrist injury."

"After Reginald made that statement in open court, they [sheriff deputies] beat the s--- out of him," the ******* said. "It's just ridiculous. It's really sad."

The Cook County sheriff's office denied that any deputies abused Potts.

So now Potts is under police wraps for at least the next 100 days.

Meanwhile, Drew Peterson, a man suspected of killing two of his wives, is at home, chillin'.

It just makes you wonder why police aren't making Drew's life as miserable as they are making Reginald's.

SuzieQ -  It is becuz he is a police officer so they treat him with kid gloves.  Even tho the Illinois police have been called in and the FBI and other (and not his precinct mainly investigating), the fact he is an officer or a former officer with years on the force gives him special treatment and from what I see, as I said before, he thought that made him above the law as is often the case with people in power!!!!! :smt097

It is good to compare it to other cases - that is how detectives often gain clues!

Police: Truckers Say Peterson Sought Aid

By ASHLEY M. HEHER
Associated Press Writer
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/P/POLICE_OFFICERS_WIFE?SITE=FLTAM&SECTION=US

 CHICAGO (AP) -- Two truckers said a former police officer suspected in his wife's disappearance may have asked them early on the day she was reported missing to carry a package for him, police said Saturday.

The truckers said two men, including a man they now believe was former Bolingbrook police officer Drew Peterson and another man in his 50s with salt-and-pepper hair and stocky build, approached them at about 3:30 a.m. on Oct. 29 at a Bolingbrook truck stop, Illinois State Trooper Mark Dorencz said in a written statement.

The men asked the truckers to "transport a package to an undisclosed location;" after reaching the location, the men would "regain possession of the package and continue transporting it to a location not accessible by semi-trailers," the statement said.

The statement did not provide details, including what might have been in the package. Neither State police nor Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, immediately returned phone calls seeking comment Saturday night.

Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, said in a statement that his client denies that any such encounter took place.

"It is our belief that anyone who logically examines the scenario that is being suggested by the Illinois State Police will reject it out of hand being nonsensical," he said.

A spokeswoman for Stacy Peterson's family, Pamela Bosco, said she spoke to state police on Saturday about their statement. She said police would not give her a description of the package and "left it rather vague because they don't know what this could lead to."

Tim Miller, founder and director of Texas EquuSearch, nonprofit group that has helped authorities in the search, said earlier this week that police had asked searchers to look for a blue plastic barrel.

Peterson, 53, has been named a suspect in the disappearance of his 23-year-old wife. Peterson has denied any wrongdoing in her disappearance and said he believes she ran off with another man.

Authorities are also investigating the death of Drew Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, who was found dead in a bathtub in 2004. A coroner's jury at the time ruled it an accidental drowning. Investigators now say they believe her death was a homicide staged to look like an accident, and are awaiting results of a second autopsy after exhuming her body last month.

Peterson has not been named a suspect in Savio's death.

Volunteers brave cold weather to search for Peterson

The Associated Press
    December 2, 2007
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-peterson_web4dec02,0,1500625.story?coll=chi_news_politics_util
HICAGO - More than 200 people braved freezing temperatures to scour areas in Chicago's southwestern suburbs Saturday looking for signs of two missing mothers.

But the search for 23-year-old Stacy Peterson and Lisa Stebic, 38, was called off after four hours when snow and sleet thwarted the effort.

"We just hoped that one of our families would have closure today and one of our families might have some answers," said Melanie Greenberg, a cousin of Stebic, who vanished from her Plainfield home in April.
The turnout in suburban Romeoville was the biggest so far in the high-profile Peterson case, which police are investigating as a possible homicide.

Peterson's 53-year-old husband, Drew Peterson, has been named a suspect in the case, although he has denied any involvement in his fourth wife's disappearance and said he believes she ran off with another man.

She was last seen at her Bolingbrook home more than a month ago.

Authorities are also investigating the death of Drew Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio. Investigators believe her 2004 drowning death was a murder staged to look like an accident and are awaiting results of a second autopsy after exhuming her body last month.

Peterson has not been named a suspect in Savio's death.

Pamela Bosco, a friend of Stacy Peterson's family, said she was pleased by the volunteers who braved bitter temperatures to search for the women.

"You can see that they just want to do everything they can," she said. "It shows how much people care and how much they're involved in the situation."

On Saturday evening, Illinois State Police released more information on the Peterson case.

On Oct. 29 at around 3:30 a.m. two truck drivers in Bolingbrook were at a truck stop when they were approached by two men, one of whom was believed to be Drew Peterson, Trooper Mark Dorencz said in a statement.

The men asked the truck drivers to "transport a package to an undisclosed location;" after reaching the location, the men would "regain possession of the package and continue transporting it to a location not accessible by semi-trailers," the Saturday statement said.

The statement did not provide details, including what might have been in the package.

Meanwhile, a lawyer representing Drew Peterson asked a judge to order investigators to return property seized from the family's home last month.

The items include two cars, 11 guns, iPods, school supplies, computers and nearly two-dozen CDs.

Will County Judge Dan Rozek is to consider the matter Dec. 12.

Attorney Joel Brodsky says Drew Peterson is entitled to his weapons, which were taken from a locked safe Nov. 1.

"He certainly must feel the hate — or dislike — out there for him," Brodsky told The (Joliet) Herald-News. "I can understand why he feels safer if he has his weapons with him in the house, at least."

Welcome Alash!  Can't help you with the book part, this is the first I've heard anything about that.  If Cassandra is talking about a new site with Internet Bloggers it's probably Gretawire Blog.  There are several people posting on Greta's blog from the Bolingbrook area.  Here is the link to Greta's blog:  http://gretawire.foxnews.com/

TES hasn't totally left.  They have people working with the Bolingbrook police and FBI on water searches I believe.  TES people are volunteers and can't stay indefinately.  The good news is while they were there they were able to show and train people what to do if they find anything.

Hi Alash -

from what I understand it wasn't about her sister (Cassandra) writing a book - it was about Cassandra being upset that Furhman or someone else wanted to do a book deal and talk about $ when her sister was still missing.
She said something about Greta & Fuhrman and it was blown all up.  I don't have what she said.
So some bloggers called her "white trash", etc.

Someone on gretawire fox news wrote the comment below is what she said:

I didn't know if we were allowed to talk about other boards.  But this is where I've been getting all my info from.  Cassandra (Stacy's sister) is there and she is pretty informative.  She also has friends and family there.

This is what I was referring to Aly.  I didn't mention it because I didn't know if we were able to post about other board.

ITA
Make you wonder why they had to subpoene the letter.  If he has nothing to hide and didn't do anything to Stacy he would at least be trying to find her to prove he didn't do anything to hurt her.  He is guilty.  Just from his actions and the LE had to subpoene the letter, makes no sense if he didn't do anything but would make perfect sense if he did.

That sounds like Cassie,  she even posts like that. 
She is a very sweet girl and yes she was very upset when someone mentioned writting a book about this.  I don't blame her.  She is so wrapped up in trying to find her sister and this gets thrown at her.

I actually feel sorry for her.  There are so many people online on her site that I wouldn't doubt that there are so many out there that is going to try and write a book on this.  I seen it with the Scott Peterson case.  I don't think Cassie knows what she is getting herself into.  It upsets me because I know that people are going to try and take advantage of her.  I seen it in the Peterson case and I can see it happening here but I don't know how to warn her.  I don't want her to think I'm some crazy lady.  I just don't want to see her family hurt anymore then it already has.
I personally was taken by some con artist when it came to the Peterson case and it was when I was niave about boards.  I didn't know any different.  I don't think Cassie knows either.  I think this is new to her and it upsets me to think that there is going to be people try and take advantage of their situation.

Hi Carlie -

Thanx for all the info.
I guess "Cassie" is SP's sister Cassandra.
I'll have to read her posts.

Yes, I just was saying I think it is okay to mention other blogger's posts - just as long as you reference what you put - just like anything else - so people can see if it is legit, etc.
Mostly people hear are looking to get any info to put together to reach answers of where the person is or what happened to them, so I don't think they are as concerned where you get it!   (Klaas can tell you.)

I feel sorry for Cassandra too - are you kidding me?
She obviously loved her sister, SP, unlike DP who is so cold.

Yes, I agree with Katysmom - that is tooooo weird to not immediately hand over a letter that says someone saw a missing person.
You would be excited to show the police if it was a real letter - it would be a lead to finding her - see what I mean that he doesn't care & is arrogant thinking no one will find her.
To say it has to be subpoenaed makes me think DP wrote the letter - & hopefully he did (since I don't believe the letter is true) and they can add that to the evidence against him.

That's very good & sweet of you Carlie to want to protect Cassandra.  Actually I am guessing she will pick up on people trying to take advantage of the situation.  There are always those people out there who are selfish and heartless.  I think she may have an idea - actually - those girls had a pretty tough life from the sounds of it - and after a brother-in-law like Drew, she should have learned something about people!

Its snowing in BB, about 1-2 inches so far and still coming down, perhaps that's why the hurry for the divers to get started or maybe the sonar found something likely?
There is also a voicemail from Stacy to her father on YouTube for anyone who wants to put a voice to Stacy...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSq_aN6tPYQ.
What do you think about the truck driver's stories about DP asking them to take a package, etc?  Does this sound for real or just a red herring to throw people off the trail?

sounds like a red herring to me... I think that Drew Peterson is guilty of murder twice and just like the typical psycho he is feels untouchable now that he has gotten away with it once.  Just looking at how he speaks and conducts himself gives me the creeps.

Hi doubtingthomas and welcome....I thought when I read what klaas posted from gretawire last night, that the temperatures might be a problem. Depending on how deep that canal is and how quickly it would freeze. I thought the temps where supposed to warm up by the weekend though!

Police serve 3rd search warrant on Peterson
 
By Matthew Walberg and Erika Slife, Tribune staff reporters 
 

State police served a third search warrant on Drew Peterson Tuesday night, focusing on items in the former Bolingbrook police sergeant's vehicles.

"There was a search warrant served tonight [that] expands the scope of the initial search warrant, specifically in regard to the vehicles," said Charles Pelkie, spokesman for Will County State's Atty. James Glasgow. "We're looking at additional materials inside the vehicles -- items and materials that were not specified in the first search warrant."

Pelkie would not say what those materials were.

Peterson, 53, has been named a suspect in the disappearance of his wife, Stacy Peterson, 23, who has been missing since Oct.28. Authorities also are reinvestigating the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

The vehicles were taken after a search warrant was executed Nov. 1. Drew Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, said the latest search warrant may jeopardize the state's case if his client should be charged in connection with Stacy Peterson's disappearance.

"They're serving a new search warrant ... to correct errors in the original search warrant," Brodsky said. "The original warrants only authorized a search of the vehicles, not a seizure. That means that potentially any evidence -- and I'm not saying there is any -- that they've acquired from the vehicles prior to today could be tossed out of court for illegal seizure."

Drew Peterson has not been charged with any crime.

The case has drawn intense media attention, with reporters and TV crews camped outside the Petersons' home from dawn to late night. Tensions boiled over Saturday at a vigil organized by Stacy Peterson's friends and family in the small cul-de-sac.

About 6:45 p.m., Bolingbrook police responded to a call of an unconscious man at the vigil. When they arrived, they found a neighbor lying on the pavement. The man, who smelled of alcohol, was revived within minutes and told police he was "upset by the fact that his street had been taken over by media personnel, a large tent and subjects assisting with the missing persons case," according to a police report obtained Tuesday.

The man told the officers that the son of a neighbor of the Petersons head-butted him in the face, knocking him to the ground during an argument about a car that may have backed onto the man's lawn, the report stated. Neither man is being named because no charges were filed.

The neighbor's son and a number of other witnesses told officers the man had been using vulgar language and when the son tried to calm him down, the man repeatedly butted the son with his chest and stomach until the man lost his balance.

Witnesses, including a Bolingbrook public works snowplow driver, told police the man offered to give the snowplow driver money to run over a tent set up in the street for the prayer vigil, the report states.

Drew Peterson, meanwhile, has been passing out leaflets to neighbors with the home phone number of Mayor Roger Claar, suggesting that if they are fed up with the media presence to call him and complain.

"I'm not aware of what you're talking about," Claar said when asked about the leaflets. "I've seen no fliers, and I've not gotten any calls. I got a few calls a couple of days ago, but I don't think it was related to any flier."

Claar said he understands why neighbors might be weary of the media attention, and said if residents are upset, "my number is in the phone book, and it's not too much to ask for a peaceful neighborhood."

On Tuesday night, friends and family of Stacy Peterson -- along with representatives of a domestic-violence awareness group, Take Back the Night -- met with Village Clerk Carol Penning to discuss a possible benefit concert to raise funds for volunteer searches.

I don't like the bolded part either!  Don't these people know how to write and execute a proper search warrant?  So if the original warrant was only for search and not seizure, then what happens to any evidence found?  The detectives just leave it there and hope it stays put?  Sounds fishy to me.

Divers Search Canal for Signs of Missing Stacy Peterson
Wednesday, December 05, 2007




 DEVELOPING STORY: Law enforcement search teams searched the frozen waters of the Illinois Michigan canal with boats and divers on Wednesday for signs of missing mom Stacy Peterson.

LOCKPORT, Ill. -- Crews are using heavy machinery in their search for Stacy Peterson, which is focusing on the Illinois-Michigan Canal near the Lockport Lock.

Despite the winter weather, crews have three boats out in the canal and divers are in the water. They are trying to attach lines from a tow truck to something under the water.
Stacy Peterson, 23, disappeared at the end of October. Her husband, Drew, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant, is considered a suspect in the case, which has been labeled a possible homicide

Hello, and ty for the welcome.

I was watching the live feed of the canal search, but they pulled the plug.  Why don't they want the public to know whats going on?  The truth will come out eventually.

I am trying to keep what I have read straight on the blue barrel.  One person saw two blue barrels in the Petersons backyard.  Then later noticed one was missing, but it was in the garage.  Also, a person saw two men carrying a steel blue tote from the house to the car.  We should be looking for the steel blue tote, right?

Also, what about the numerous missing persons, suicides, and murders that DP has some association with (other then being a cop)?  Is anybody reading the other bloggs?  This is "in my backyard" and I would like to see closure for the families.

Howard down the street from Drew :
Consider this…
Stacy: missing
katherine: dead
Stacy’s mom: missing
Tom Morphy (helped Drew with blue barrel) his wife has been missing for years
2nd wife (?) Victorias boyfriend: found dead in same canal they are searching now

I couldn’t have better odds with the lottery that these are related!!!
_______________________________________________________________________

You are also leaving off the ex-girlfriend, Monica’s brother - the brother didn’t like Drew dating his sister, as he was married at the time - the brother was found allegedly hung himself/committed suicide in the garage - officer responding to the scene?? Guess - Drew Peterson.

Cell's tracking ability ought to trigger a 'ping'
 

 

Cell phones have played a bit part in the ever-unfolding story of the disappearance of Bolingbrook resident Stacy Peterson.

First, Stacy's husband, Drew Peterson, who is a suspect in her disappearance, said she called him about 9 p.m. Oct. 28, the day she vanished, to say she was leaving him.

Call records reportedly show her phone calling his at that time. But then a male relative of Drew Peterson's reportedly said that he was with Peterson at a Starbucks that evening and that Peterson left him briefly with a cell phone and instructions not to answer it if it rang. When it rang, the caller ID read, "Stacy."

Officials say Stacy Peterson's cell phone has not been used since that night, an ominous sign that she's no longer alive.

In online discussions, readers had questions about this aspect of the case. I couldn't answer them, so I went to wireless-industry officials, electronic-privacy advocates and representatives of law enforcement (who, understandably, would not discuss any details related to the Peterson case). Here's what I found:

Q. Can investigators go back in time and pinpoint where cell-phone calls are made and received?

A. Not with precision. Cell-provider records reflect which transmission towers nearest each phone were used for the call. Depending on the area, this can narrow the locations down to a few city blocks, but not a particular street corner.

Q. Does carrying a live cell phone give away your location?

A. Yes, though in most cases only roughly: Your cell phone sends out a signal -- some call it a "ping;" think of it as a "here I am if you need me!" flare -- to the nearest transmission tower. Using more sophisticated methods that measure the phone's distance from an assortment of nearby towers or from global positioning satellites, companies can locate subscribers' phones with far greater precision.

Q. Why would they want to do this?

A. The technology was developed for emergency purposes -- to help police find people who call 911 but don't know their location and find people who are missing.

But it also has a law-enforcement application. Investigators with the proper court authorization can track the movements of a cell phone belonging to a suspect, a fugitive or other person of interest. And given how compulsive most of us are about having our phones with us at all times, this method of surveillance is almost as effective as clamping a homing beacon to someone's leg.

Q. Do police need a warrant before they can track people in this way?

A. Not necessarily. Some judges have insisted on a showing of probable cause, others have used a far looser standard of suspicion because, hey, no one's forcing you to carry your tracking device -- er, cell phone.

Those who are concerned about creeping electronic encroachments on our privacy are understandably alarmed about this and have called for congressional oversight and updated legislation to restrict the practice.

Q. Can cell-phone providers go back into a person's "ping history" and find out where his cell phone was throughout a specific day, oh, say, about six weeks in the past?

A. No, according to Joe Farren, spokesman for CTIA-The Wireless Association, a cell-phone industry group in Washington. "These pings occur all the time, and there are 250 million wireless subscribers in America. There's no reason to log such an incredible amount of data, so each ping overwrites the last one."

But CNET News' chief political correspondent Declan McCullagh, who has covered this issue extensively, is skeptical: "We know that telecommunications providers keep logs of who you call and who calls you," he said in an e-mail. "Why would they treat cell-phone tower logs any differently?"

And as McCullagh and electronic-privacy advocates point out, data storage is dirt cheap these days and getting cheaper: If providers aren't now able to re-create a cell phone's path through the world, they probably will be able to do so in the near future.

Too late for some, perhaps. But way too soon for most of us.

Why would any one really care about their cell phone being somewhat of a tracking device unless the person was up to no good?

Report: Warrants seek GPS info, 'biological material' from Peterson's SUV


BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (AP) — Search warrants executed as authorities investigate the disappearance of an ex-police officer's 23-year-old wife focus on both physical evidence and a global positioning system in his sports utility vehicle, according to a published report Thursday.

A warrant served on Drew Peterson late Tuesday, and obtained by the Chicago Tribune, called for the seizure of items containing plastic shavings, blood, bodily fluids, fingernail scrapings, palm or fingerprints, chemicals that may alter body decomposition and other ''biological material that may be evidence of the offense of first-degree murder.''

A warrant executed Nov. 1 and also obtained by the newspaper indicates authorities also sought ''all GPS records, cellular service records, logging records or any other electronic records in the possession of OnStar Inc.'' relating to a 2005 GMC Yukon Denali driven by Peterson.

The warrant did not state what investigators sought to learn from OnStar.

''We do not track our subscribers' vehicles,'' OnStar spokesman Jim Kobus said.

Tuesday's warrant omitted specific language about OnStar; in its place was a generic description that included ''in-dash GPS navigation systems,'' according to the Tribune.

Joel Brodsky, Peterson's attorney, on Thursday told The Associated Press that the newspaper's description of the warrants ''is accurate,'' but did not comment on further questions about the details.

Stacy Peterson was last seen Oct. 28 and reported missing by her family the next day. Drew Peterson, a longtime member of the Bolingbrook Police Department until he quit after his wife went missing, has denied any involvement in her disappearance. He has said he believes his wife left him for another man and is alive.

The most recent warrant also sought objects containing or having traces of blue plastic, lead weights, plastic shavings and scuff marks, circular impressions or carpet indentations and any other indication of a plastic or barrel-like object.

A nonprofit group helping to search for Stacy Peterson has said police asked them to look for a blue plastic barrel large enough to hide a body.

The warrant also lists dirt, gravel, soil and other material that might be tested to determine a vehicle's presence at a certain location; also guns, ammunition, knives and ropes that may have been used as a weapon or restraint, the Tribune reported.

On Wednesday, Brodsky confirmed to The Associated Press that the latest warrant seeks items that ''may have been utilized in commission of the offense of first-degree murder or the concealment of a homicidal death.''

Authorities also are investigating the death of Peterson's ex-wife, Kathleen Savio, whose body was found in her bathtub in 2004. Her death initially was ruled an accidental drowning. But when Peterson disappeared, the Will County State's Attorney's office opened another investigation into the case and has said it appears her death was a homicide staged to look like an accident.

Drew Peterson Tells Newsradio: My Retirement Sucks

 
CHICAGO (WBBM)  -- Drew Peterson will have to make do with a little less per month than he may have been originally counting on from his police pension.

But Peterson tells Newsradio 780 this morning, "It is what it is."

Drew Peterson tells Newsradio 780 - "My retirement sucks."

Why?

"Why do you think?" Peterson asks.  "The media in front of my house, it's not enabling my children to be children," he says.

Peterson is now getting the word that his police pension is less than what he may have originally believed.  And he may get about 200 dollars less per month.  About 58-hundred dollars compared to 6-thousand.

Instead of 30 years service, Peterson only has just over 29 years.

Richard Reimer is the attorney for the Bolingbrook Police Pension Fund.

"There may have been a misrepresentation on that.  As far as who made the misrepresentation, I'm not going to comment on at this point in time.  All I will tell you is, the reason that the pension is now going to be reduced is because Sergeant Peterson did not have the full 30 years of credible service we were led to believe he had."

Reimer is careful not to point a finger at Peterson.

Peterson tells Newsradio 780, "Two and a half percent (less) is not going to break me."

"There may have been a misrepresentation on that.  As far as who made the misrepresentation, I'm not going to comment on at this point in time.  All I will tell you is, the reason that the pension is now going to be reduced is because Sergeant Peterson did not have the full 30 years of credible service we were led to believe he had."

Reimer is careful not to point a finger at Peterson.

Peterson tells Newsradio 780, "Two and a half percent (less) is not going to break me."  
 
 
 
 





He need not worry. He will be behind bars for the rest of his life and won't have to maintain the lifestyle he has grown accustomed to.

Timeline of Stacy Peterson's Disappearance
Thursday, December 06, 2007


This is a rush transcript from "On the Record ," December 5, 2007. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, HOST: We know Stacy Peterson was alive on October 28 at about 10:00 AM. That's the time her friend spoke to her by phone. And since then? Well, police classify Stacy's disappearance as a potential homicide, with Stacy's husband, Sergeant Drew Peterson the suspect.

And former LAPD homicide detective Mark Fuhrman has pieced together a timeline that we know happened the day Stacy Peterson disappeared. Joining us in Spokane, Washington, is Mark Fuhrman. Mark, we can't get a timeline out of Craig — I mean, out of Drew or out of Joel, his lawyer. So what have you been able to piece together as a timeline?

MARK FUHRMAN, FMR LAPD HOMICIDE DETECTIVE, FOX ANALYST: Well, Greta, you know what's interesting about Joel Brodsky and Drew Peterson is they can't address the timeline because Drew has created an entire mess for himself. There's no place that the investigators can't go to find a hole.

Start with the beginning. And there's certain segments that I find the most important. About 10:00, 10:15, the call that comes in that Stacy is last talked to, the call that Sharon, the neighbor, puts in to talk to Stacy, she is not available. So between that time is either a time when she's incapacitated, she's not able to get to the phone because she's under the control of Drew Peterson, or she is by then deceased.


 The next two most important calls are the call at 8:00 o'clock that Drew Peterson says that he puts in to Stacy's cell phone, which — I believe that Thomas Morphey is with him at that time, and he probably witnessed that because that would fit in with Drew believing she's alive and just missing or not at home. And then, of course, the 9:00 o'clock call that evening that Thomas Morphey sees come up on the cell phone that he's told not to answer.

The next huge time is 11:00 o'clock that night, when Cassandra comes to the home. No Drew Peterson. No Pontiac. No Denali.

Now, what exactly was Drew Peterson's reason for not going to work? Well, we can conclude that Stacy is not at home. Whereabouts unknown. Possibly she ran off with another man. We don't know at that time. Drew Peterson didn't know at that time. So he says, I've got to take care of my kids. So he's gone between 7:00 to 10:00, probably 10:00 to 11:00, 11:00 to where I don't know. And then at 2:30 in the morning, Cassandra calls Drew Peterson once again. He is not accounting for his time, where he is, and he's breathing heavy. His timeline is all over the place, and it's a dream for the investigators.

VAN SUSTEREN: All right. Now, let me back up for a second. At 10:00 or 10:15 in the morning on that Sunday, October 28, is when the — she received the phone call, when Stacy received the phone call from the friend, or at least talked to the friend. About noon, that's the phone call — that's when Sharon Bychowski, the neighbor, called over to the Peterson home. Tell us what happened in that phone call.

FUHRMAN: Well, in this phone call, Sharon calls, and one of the children, Chris, answers the phone. He's 13 years old. He answers the phone. Sharon says, Can I talk to your mom? Long pause. And Sharon has described this to me as a very uneasy pause. She follows up because he doesn't say anything, You don't know if your mom's there? And at that time, Drew takes the phone and tells Sharon Stacy went to her grandfather's to run some errands.

Well, we know that's not true. That's lie one. Drew Peterson has committed himself to a lie that needed to be told because he didn't expect Sharon to call. He didn't expect somebody to call for Stacy. And then he committed to something that he can never erase now. Now, that's the first time.

VAN SUSTEREN: At about 1:00 o'clock or 1:15, did Drew ask Sharon to baby-sit on that Sunday?

FUHRMAN: No. I believe Sharon, when she was in that conversation with Drew Peterson at noon, she said, Well, if you need me to watch the younger kids or you want me to feed them, bring them over. Now, when he brings the two younger children over at 1:00 o'clock, we have to understand that Sharon's not paying attention to what cars are parked there.

Peterson Might Lose Pension Benefits For Spying On Wife's Family
December 6, 2007 6:30 a.m. EST


 
Nilanjana Bhowmick - AHN News Writer
Bolingbrook, IL (AHN) - Recent reports might prove that Drew Peterson, the 53 year old retired police officer, suspected in the mysterious disappearance of his wife, had used police resources to spy out information about his wife's family and friends.

He is believed to have accessed confidential background information on these people, saved in police records.

Bolingbrook Police Pension Board attorney Richard reamer told NBC News that such behavior is called 'official misconduct' and can be used to revoke his retirement benefits, including $6000 monthly pension.

Meanwhile, Peterson was served with another search warrant late Tuesday. The warrant deals with two items seized from the two vehicles that the police had taken in custody.

The police refused to elaborate on the search warrant, reports The Associated Press.

Peterson is the main suspect in his fourth wife's mysterious disappearance.

Stacy Peterson, 23, went missing on October 17. Peterson had said that she had eloped with another man. The police, however, suspect murder.

DP's son's involvement?:

WLS News, Illinois

-----------------------------
I-Team
Peterson's son's personnel files subpoenaedThursday, December 06, 2007 | 7:17 PMStory Media Top Stories
  By Chuck Goudie
Illinois state investigators have subpoenaed the personnel files of three men with connections to the village of Oakbrook Police Department. Among them: Steve Peterson, one of Drew Peterson's sons.
Twenty-eight-year-old Steve Peterson has been a patrolman in suburban Oakbrook since 2004, the same year one of his stepmothers, Kathleen Savio, was found dead in a bathtub. The Savio case has been now been reopened.
When Steve Peterson's current stepmother, Stacy, 23, vanished almost six weeks ago, he was on vacation, according to police sources - a vacation that he extended several times in November.
On Wednesday afternoon, as authorities were searching the sanitary ship canal for evidence in his latest stepmother's disappearance, Steve Peterson returned to work in Oakbrook.

But while he was gone, the day before Thanksgiving, state police officers executed subpoenas at Oakbrook police headquarters.
The I-Team has learned that state authorities removed Steve Peterson's police personnel file and other records of his recent patrol activities. Twice, Steve Peterson has also been called in front of a Will County grand jury that is looking into the disappearance of Stacy Peterson.
The I-Team has also been told by investigators that state police seized the Oakbrook department personnel files of two of Peterson's closest friends on the force. One recently resigned while under investigation for professional misconduct. The other was recently terminated for lying and unauthorized access of criminal files.
That is the same allegation that sources say Drew Peterson is facing in Bolingbrook - the sale of criminal records.
"Drew denies that he has used the computers or the databases in any unauthorized manner," said attorney Joel Brodsky. "However, our investigation reveals that it was common practice for members of the Bolingbrook Police Department and employees, to run warrant checks and name checks for friends, for family members and even to run prank names, rather risque prank names, when they would get bored in the evening."
Those who know Drew and Steve Peterson say the men are more like best friends than father and son. Drew was Steve's best man at his wedding last August.
Steve and his new wife live in a north Aurora home. She is a federal agent with the inspector general's office for the U.S. Housing Department.
Teresa Peterson has been questioned by investigators as to her husband's whereabouts and activities the past six weeks.
When the I-Team spoke with Steve Peterson at his home, he declined to answer any questions about his father's case or the subpoenas of his police personnel file and records of his law enforcement computer searches.

NO HOLIDAY CHEER FOR PETERSON


Posted: Tuesday, December 04, 2007 1:11 PM

By NBC News' Alison Kartevold
BOLINGBROOK, Ill. – A bitter wind cut the air and rippled through blue and pink ribbons tied around the trees that line Pheasant Chase Court, the cul-de-sac where Drew Peterson lives. The ribbons are remnants of a vigil for Kathleen Savio and Stacy Peterson – two women, one dead and the other feared dead, both forever tied to Peterson. 

Holiday cheer is hard to come by in this Chicago suburb. The bleak weather reflects the mood of a neighborhood weary of unwanted and unrelenting attention. 

Peterson, the retired Bolingbrook police officer named a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy, and questioned by authorities about the death of his third wife, Kathy, is of course the focal point. 

 
Peterson said to misuse police database


On Monday evening, when asked about new allegations being raised against him, Peterson told  the reporters assembled outside his house that as the holidays approach, the media should use its time and resources to help families in need instead of hassling his.

His sentiments are not shared by Stacy Peterson’s family and friends. Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for her family, shot back that if Peterson really wants to help others and make the media go way, he should share what he knows about the 23-year-old.

Retirement pension in balance
This ill will grows as more information concerning the intertwined investigations creeps to light, the latest development being that Peterson, 53, allegedly used resources available to him as a police officer to gather private information about Stacy’s family and friends. If this proves to be true, Peterson's newly approved pension of just over $6,000 a month could be in jeopardy.   


Bolingbrook Police Pension Board attorney Richard Reimer told NBC News that he's dealt with other cases in which officers have been accused of using police computers to conduct background searches. He says doing so is considered "official misconduct," which is a felony, and can be used as grounds for revoking an officer's pension. 

Such a move would probably be welcomed by Bolingbrook Police Chief Ray McGury, who stated he wanted Peterson fired rather than to allow him to retire with full benefits. When the fire and police commission accepted Peterson's resignation from the police force, securing his retirement, it was McGury that forwarded his internal investigation of Peterson to the Will County State Attorney's Office in the hope that criminal charges would be brought against him.

Police Dismiss Tip in Peterson Case

Associated Press Writer
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/P/POLICE_OFFICERS_WIFE?SITE=FLTAM&SECTION=US
 trucker who claimed to have seen Drew Peterson hours after the former police officer's wife disappeared did not actually see the suspect, authorities said Friday.

"We did look into the tip and it is unfounded," Illinois State Police Trooper Mark Dorencz said. He added that detectives are investigating the same claim made by another trucker.

Peterson Attorney Attracted by Challenge

By CARLA K. JOHNSON
Associated Press Writer
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/P/POLICE_OFFICERS_WIFE_ATTORNEY?SITE=FLTAM&SECTION=US
When a former police officer suspected in his wife's disappearance pleaded for legal help on the "Today" show, lawyer Joel Brodsky's first thought was: "What an idiot."

He thought Drew Peterson was foolish to discuss the disappearance on national television. But Brodsky also told his wife: "That would be an interesting case. I could do that case."

Brodsky, who soon began representing Peterson, initially welcomed the publicity, but he now says he got more than he bargained for. In recent weeks, reporters have looked into his own background. He receives hate mail from strangers, and he's besieged with constant interview requests.

Brodsky, who had never handled such a high-profile case, feels these days as if he's trying to derail a freight train on his client's behalf.

  It certainly is taking rediculously long....like maybe Peterson still has good buddies in Law Enforcement???    Why would they need a second search warrant for his vehicles?  Don't they still have possession of therm?  Anyway, a search warrant, when looking for a missing person when foul play is suspected, you would think would be all  inclusive, ie., forensic, etc., not just GPS system...that seems pretty stupid to me.....are they taking lessons from A.L.E.?
 
      I hope they nail this guy, get those poor babies out of that house, and allow the respective families of Kathleen Savio and Stacy Peterson have custody and share his retirement money.  Even a murderer, in jail for life, needs to support his children!!!

yeah - the two teenaged (or about that age) boys have lost two Moms! - can you imagine for them? & the two younger ones - SP's kids - must feel completely sad and alone!

Then the kids have to deal with watching their Dad diminish their Mom - not act sad or upset - DP made comments about how it is easy to deal with the younger ones becuz you just have them play or something.
I know that's not true.  I have taken care of kids my whole life and little ones call all day for "Mommy" or "Daddy" when you do childcare!

I wish someone would protect and love those kids and get them out of the house just like I wish could have been the case for KS & SP!

yeah pdh3 - I was thinking the same.  Since I am reading they are trying to close the NH case after re-arresting the suspects & letting them go due to no body - makes you think - wow - these guys can just get away with murder and eventually the case grows cold and people move on.
How scarey!!!

I know one of the older boys said his parents (SP & DP) were fighting that morning she disappeard.
Then they said the older boys (teenage ones) were interviewed for a few hours.  Surely they could help nail their Dad who isn't a Dad to them!
Surely they know something or heard or saw something!

Cleric: Stacy Peterson said husband told her he killed ex-wife

Stacy Peterson's family meets outside the Peterson home in Bolingbrook, Ill. Monday with relatives of four missing people to draw attention to their cases. (Tribune photo /  December 10, 2007)



By Erika Slife and Hal Dardick | Tribune staff reporters
December 11, 2007


  A minister from Plainfield said on national TV on Monday night that as he counseled Stacy Peterson in the months before she disappeared, she told him her husband admitted killing his ex-wife Kathleen Savio.

Rev. Neil Schori, formerly of Westbrook Christian Church in Bolingbrook, said Stacy Peterson, 23, blurted out in a Bolingbrook coffee shop that "he did it," referring to her husband, Drew Peterson, 53, whose ex-wife was found dead in her bathtub in 2004. Savio's death was ruled an accidental drowning at the time, but her body recently was exhumed for a second autopsy. Those results have not been released.

"I was really blown away, I was reeling inside," Schori told Greta Van Susteren in an interview for Fox's "On the Record" show.

Drew Peterson, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant, has been named a suspect in Stacy Peterson's disappearance.

Schori said Stacy Peterson gave him details about Savio's death that convinced him she was not speculating about her husband's involvement. Asked why she stayed with Peterson, Schori said probably out of fear.

Joel Brodsky, Peterson's attorney, said on the show, "I'd love to get to cross-examine this guy because there are a lot of problems with his story."

Earlier Monday, Illinois State Police resumed their search of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal in Romeoville and Lockport. Stacy Peterson has been missing since Oct. 28.

"We're in the canal today, and the weather is going to probably play a larger role against us this week than it has been," state police Capt. Ken Kaupas said, referring to freezing temperatures. He said dozens of personnel, led by the Tri-County Auto Theft Unit, joined in the search.

Last week, more than a dozen agencies, including the FBI, Coast Guard, Department of Defense and Army Corps of Engineers, participated in a search of the canal, where divers recovered various debris.

Kaupas declined to say what led investigators to the canal. Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for Stacy Peterson's family, said police told her they were using high-resolution sonar equipment borrowed from Minnesota to "give them a clearer picture of what they are seeing.

"There's lots of stuff down there. They're going to go every two miles, make sure it's good to go before going on to the next section, so they're doing a very thorough job," she said. " Nothing will get past them. ... They're investing a lot of money and time into this location, so there must be a reason for it."

Kaupas also said police have determined that a tip by two truck drivers regarding the case is completely unfounded. On Dec. 1, state police released a statement saying that in the early morning of Oct. 29 two men -- one of whom matched a description of Peterson -- approached two drivers at a Bolingbrook truck stop and asked them to transport a package.

"We were able to run that whole story down, and there doesn't appear to be an ounce of validity to that lead," he said, adding, "We continue to get lots of leads coming in."

Meanwhile, Stacy Peterson's family teamed up with relatives of four missing people at a news conference to bring attention to their cases. .

Families of missing join forces; 'We share the same pain'
 
Relatives of missing suburban moms Stacy Peterson and Lisa Stebic pledged Monday to work with other suburban families searching for missing loved ones.

Their joint efforts will help keep public interest and police investigations focused, even on missing persons cases that lack the high profile of the baffling disappearances of Peterson and Stebic, relatives said.

"We share this common bond, we share the same pain, the same desperation, to find our missing loved ones," said Melanie Greenberg, a cousin of Lisa Stebic, the Plainfield mother of two who disappeared April 30.

The families agreed to work together to promote searches and publicity for all of their missing relatives.

"Together we all will continue to look for our loved ones," said Susan Olsen, whose 26-year-old son Bradley Olsen vanished last Jan. 19 in DeKalb.

Along with Olsen, relatives of two other missing suburban men -- John Spira and Scott Acaro -- joined the effort, announced at a news conference outside the Bolingbrook home where 23-year-old Stacy Peterson was last seen Oct. 28.

Spira, a 45-year-old businessman and Blues musician, vanished Feb. 23 while in suburban West Chicago. Scott Acaro, 38, disappeared on Feb. 22 in west suburban Lisle.

"Our hope is to keep their faces out there," said Kerry Simmons, Stacy Peterson's stepsister.

Nut44x4 -
sorry - I guess I was wrong that the families uniting to keep the focus on missing persons were the missing persons who might have known DP.
It is other families of missing persons just wanting to unite to keep the search on for their loved ones.

Lisa Stebic disappeared somewhat near to SP I think and not too much before.

December 12, 2007 Wednesday
Chicago Edition 
 
Wife's sister tells of gunshot in home;
Missing woman said Peterson fired through floor, her sister says
 

A gunshot allegedly fired by Drew Peterson narrowly missed his wife, Stacy, this summer as she retrieved a can of soda in the garage for him, she told her sister before she disappeared in late October.

Drew Peterson was in the master bedroom when the gun allegedly went off, according to the account Stacy gave her sister Cassandra Cales. The bullet allegedly pierced the floor and went into the garage below.

"She heard a pow. It scared her. She looked around the garage -- she didn't know what it was," Cales told the Tribune on Tuesday. "Drew went down there. He picked up all the pieces and he never made a report [to police]. He patched the ceiling. Stacy showed me the hole. She peeled the carpet back and showed me where the hole was."

Cales said she sarcastically asked Stacy if the gunshot was an accident. She said her sister just stared at her.

Drew Peterson, 53, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant, has been named a suspect in the disappearance of Stacy, 23, who vanished Oct. 28. State police have labeled the case a possible homicide, and the investigation has led authorities to re-examine the 2004 death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, who was found dead in her home in an empty bathtub.

On Tuesday, investigators continued a days-long search of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal in Romeoville and Lockport for evidence in Stacy's case, and Drew Peterson made a public appeal for money to defend himself.

Cales said the gun incident happened in August.

A minister who counseled Stacy said he met her at a coffee shop in August where Stacy blurted out to him that her husband admitted he killed Savio. The minister said Drew Peterson then called about a meeting, but they never got together.

Cales said she told Illinois State Police and Bolingbrook Police Chief Ray McGury about the gun incident when she reported her sister missing. Bolingbrook police Lt. Ken Teppel said McGury told Cales to report it to state police.

"He did say that Cassandra brought it up. ... We had no report of that either by Stacy or by Drew," Teppel said. "He recognized that it was integral to this investigation and told her to make sure Illinois State Police is aware of it."

Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, dismissed the story as just another rumor about his client.

"I'm sure the police were called and someone was arrested and charged with attempted murder," Brodsky said, his voice laced with sarcasm. "It's more baloney. Just another Elvis sighting."

Cales said that two weeks before Stacy went missing, she found her cell phone bill in Peterson's briefcase, with numbers highlighted and notes scribbled on it.

Cales said Stacy immediately got a new number and had the bill sent to Cales' work.

"She said, 'I can't take this anymore,'" Cales said. Stacy's friends and family have said she told Peterson she wanted a divorce in the days leading up to her disappearance.

Brodsky said his client has been the target of rumors and media attacks since the case broke. Earlier in the day, he sent out a news release announcing the establishment of the Drew Peterson Legal Defense Fund to help defray legal fees associated with the case and to hire a private investigator to search for Stacy.

Peterson launched a Web site, which had a short section of text explaining that the media has sensationalized the story, causing hardship for Peterson and his children. The news release said Peterson would not receive any money from the fund for his personal use.

Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for Stacy's relatives, said she was not surprised by the appeal for money.

"The first thing that comes to my mind is that we must be hot on the trail for him to do something like this," Bosco said.

She dismissed the claim that the money would be used to hire a private investigator, saying Peterson had ample time to help look for his wife but chose not to do so.

Brodsky said his client has to contend with an investigation involving 64 Illinois State Police investigators, as well as "dozens, if not hundreds," of FBI agents.

Even though Peterson has not been charged with a crime, Brodsky said the sheer manpower arrayed against him is daunting, leading to equally daunting costs to prepare a possible defense.

"I mean, the cost of the independent forensic pathologist alone, he wanted $10,000 upfront," Brodsky said. "And that's not counting lawyers' fees and all sorts of other costs."

But by Tuesday evening, the Web site was suspended because it was generating too much traffic, according to its Web host, HostMonster.com. A customer service representative said www.defenddrew.com was taking up nearly 4,500 connections on the server, leaving only a little more than 500 connections free for all other sites.

Meanwhile, a site for Stacy Peterson, FindStacyPeterson.com, began accepting donations for volunteer searchers for her.

The money would be used to pay for food, gas and lodging for searchers, as well as for fliers, sonar equipment and airplane rentals and fuel. The Web site has drawn a lot of traffic since it was launched, said Anthony Laatz, site administrator. About 100,000 people visit a day, he said.

A hearing was scheduled for Wednesday on Brodsky's motion to have items seized by police -- including Peterson's vehicles and 11 guns -- returned to his client.

Prosecutors filed a response Tuesday, saying they had no objection to returning two iPods and 23 music CDs seized last month, but argued they have the right to retain custody of the GMC Yukon Denali SUV and Pontiac Grand Prix, the guns, computers and a backpack containing items of Stacy's.

Peterson's Missing Blue Containers

Peterson's Close Friend Told Authorities Blue Containers Went Missing After Stacy Disappeared

By JIM AVILA & REYNOLDS HOLDING
ABC News Law & Justice Unit
Dec. 13, 2007 —


The mysterious blue container at the center of the Drew Peterson investigation may be one of three that the former police sergeant and a close friend bought from a cable installation company four years ago, ABC News has learned.

A search warrant issued last week for Peterson's two vehicles mentions "blue plastic" and "scuff marks" left by a "large storage container," lending credence to reports that investigators think Peterson, 53, might have loaded into his SUV a blue container holding the body of his 23-year-old wife, Stacy, who disappeared from their Bolingbrook, Ill., home Oct. 28. Drew Peterson is a suspect in her disappearance, but he has not been charged.

Rick Mims, Peterson's long-time friend, told a grand jury last week that he and Peterson bought three such containers for about $100 from AmeriCable, where they both worked part-time in 2003, according to a source close to the investigation. Peterson put two of the containers on a shelf in his garage, but after Stacy vanished, so did the containers, Mims testified.

A state prosecutor and the grand jurors themselves questioned Mims for approximately 10 minutes about the containers, the source said, asking in particular about the items' handles. Mims turned over photographs of the containers, and ABC News obtained copies of those photos.

The new pictures have reportedly prompted state investigators, local police and volunteer searchers to shift their attention from what was originally thought to be a blue barrel to a square blue container. Peterson has consistently denied having a blue barrel in his house, and his attorney Joel Brodsky now denies that a blue container was there either.

"Stacy's sister said there was a blue barrel of chlorine," said Brodsky. "Now we're told there is a blue container of cable. The story is not consistent throughout and therefore really shows it lacks validity."

Peterson has said he believes his wife is alive and disappeared because she left him for another man. But police are treating the case as a possible homicide, and members of Stacy's family are pitching in to help solve the case in any way they can.

Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for the family, says investigators are actually looking for lots of different kinds of containers while relentlessly searching the canals near the Peterson home for any sign of Stacy's body. Family members met Wednesday with Illinois State Police for three hours, and they say they are pleased with the process so far.

"It was very inspiring," said Bosco, "to see that many people involved -- heart and soul, actually -- with this investigation."

Peterson son goes before grand jury;
Panel investigating wife's disappearance
 
One of Drew Peterson's adult sons appeared Thursday before a Will County special grand jury investigating the disappearance of Peterson's fourth wife and the mysterious drowning of his third wife, but declined afterward to discuss the case.

Stephen Peterson, 28, an Oak Brook police officer, arrived in uniform Thursday morning at the Will County Court Building Annex, where the grand jury meets. About three hours later, he left the building and drove off in his marked squad car.

The special grand jury convened in November to investigate the Oct. 28 disappearance of Drew Peterson's wife, Stacy, 23, and the 2004 drowning of Peterson's ex-wife Kathleen Savio, whose body was found in her bathtub in Bolingbrook. Despite having a gash on her head, Savio was said by an autopsy to have drowned, and a coroner's jury ruled that the death was accidental.

In the course of investigating Stacy Peterson's disappearance, authorities said new information about Savio's death was discovered, and the case was reopened. Her remains were exhumed Nov. 13, and a second autopsy was conducted.

Will County Coroner Patrick O'Neil said this week that it would be at least another month before toxicology tests were completed. He has said his office will not make the results public, but will turn them over to the Will County state's attorney.

Drew Peterson, 53, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant, has not been charged with any crime and has denied any involvement in his wife's disappearance or ex-wife's death.

Authorities at the Will County Children's Advocacy Center have interviewed Savio and Peterson's teenage sons.

The extent of the children's knowledge about what might have happened to Stacy Peterson became a public issue this week because of a national tabloid article. Richard Mims, Drew Peterson's former friend, sold his story to the National Enquirer.

On Wednesday night, Mims quit the board of a newly established Stacy Peterson charity, he said.

Sharon Bychowski, Peterson's next-door neighbor and Stacy's good friend, said she and fellow board members were furious about the National Enquirer article, which focused on Peterson's son Kris. The story quoted Mims saying Kris told Bychowski that on the day Stacy disappeared, he heard his parents fighting in their bedroom before "suddenly things got quiet."

Bychowski disputed the account. She said she never talked to Kris about his parents fighting and was offended by the article, which she said "left Kris out to dry."

"I think a lot of that interview was [Mims'] own bizarre interpretation," she said.

Mims said his contract with the National Enquirer prohibited him from commenting about the article. "I can't say anything. If I say anything, the Enquirer is going to sue me. I cannot confirm or deny anything that was in it."

Meanwhile Thursday, authorities continued their search for Stacy Peterson in a canal near Romeoville, according to state police Master Sgt. Luis Gutierrez. Stacy's relatives said they were encouraged after a briefing Wednesday from the state police.

Drew Peterson: Wife fired gun in home before she went missing, not him

Drew Peterson, a former Ill. police officer, is a suspect in the disappearance of his much-younger wife, Stacy.
 
BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (AP) — Former police officer Drew Peterson acknowledged that a gun did go off in his home a few months before his wife disappeared but says it was his wife who pulled the trigger.

Peterson's sister-in-law claimed he fired a gun, with the bullet almost striking his wife. But Peterson told the Chicago Tribune for a story Thursday that his wife accidentally fired the gun he'd bought her as a gift.

"She had a fascination with guns," he said of his missing wife, Stacy Peterson. "I bought her a Glock for Valentine's (Day) — because nothing says I love you like a Glock. That was our joke."

Stacy Peterson, 23, vanished in late October and her husband, a 53-year-old former police sergeant in the Bolingbrook Police Department has been named a suspect in her disappearance. Investigators say they believe the case may be a homicide.

Drew Peterson suggested Stacy Peterson fabricated the story reported to her sister because "she was embarrassed about it."

But Stacy Peterson's family spokeswoman, Pamela Bosco, called Peterson's explanation "idiotic" and said the sister, Cassandra Cales stands by her account of what happened.

I don't know if any of you have heard but the latest news now is that ISP is having the canal drained and I heard this on Friday.  Also that Drew Peterson transfered $250,000 to his sons account.  word is that Drew did this so that the kids could be cared for but others are saying this is a way for Drew to protect his assets because Kathleen Savio's family is considering a wrongful death suit.

Carlie69, I am not sure I am buying his explanation about worrying he would be sued. Your wife died and you are worried about being sued? Only if you are guilty, if you are innocent you aren't. So that implicates him even more. He was conscience of his guilt. I think he either hired his son or his son helped dispose of the body.

I saw this too and I am just completely appalled that this POS keeps trying to make Stacy look like the bad person here.  She is the victim and he keeps trying to make her image into something other than what it really was.  It makes me sick that this man gets to keep on living in the lap of luxury when we already know what he is capable of and responsible for.  I pray for some kind of resolution soon as his children deserve a stable and safe environment to grow up in.  This man refuses to accept responsibility for any wrong doings, or at least that's how I see it.  He wants to blame everyone else for his own misdeeds.  What a joke!  I can't wait for the hammer to drop on him.

kissyface -

Yeah, you said it exactly.  DP will never accept responsibility and as soon as someone points the finger at him, he points it right back.  Didn't you see him pointing the cameras in the journalists faces, which might have been funny except it was DP doing it.

He will BLAME everything that happened on everyone else and especially his wives which he USES and ABUSES!  He's a woman user.
Never showed respect for women.  KS brother said DP would tie her up with his sons and roll her down the stairs for a game and her brother complained and KS said its OK?  She was used to it! and DP was teaching his sons nonrespect of women or of anyone for that matter.

He really should just wear a Tshirt that says "I didn't do anything", because he would never accept responsibility for ANYTHING!!!!
These people who LIE and CON people, really think they are trick and tricking everyone with their LIES, but pretty soon people catch on to that everything they say is a LIE.  Its not too hard. :smt096

December 18, 2007 Tuesday
Judge rejects return of vehicles;
But he will review ruling on Peterson's items in January
 
By Matthew Walberg, Tribune staff reporter
 

A judge Monday denied Drew Peterson's request that police return his vehicles, guns and other items seized as part of an investigation into his wife's disappearance, but said he would periodically review his ruling.

Will County Circuit Court Presiding Judge Daniel Rozak set a review hearing date for Jan. 25.

Outside the courthouse, Drew Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, was circumspect about the decision.

"We're a bit disappointed; I would have liked to see the property returned today," he said. "The fact that [Rozak] is going to keep an eye on the process ... I think indicates, to at least some extent, that he believes that while they should be given time to do what they need to do, that the time is not limitless."

Drew Peterson, 53, was not at the hearing. The former Bolingbrook police sergeant has not been charged with a crime and has maintained that his missing wife, Stacy Peterson, 23, told him she left him for another man.

Illinois State Police investigators have named Drew Peterson a suspect in Stacy Peterson's Oct. 28 disappearance. In addition, authorities reopened an investigation into the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, who was found dead in the bathtub of her Bolingbrook home just weeks before the financial terms of the couple's divorce were to be finalized.

Days after Stacy Peterson vanished, police executed a search warrant at the couple's home, seizing Drew Peterson's 2005 GMC Yukon Denali, his wife's 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix coupe, 11 guns, computers, iPods, music CDs and other items. Brodsky filed a motion seeking the return of the property, saying police did not have proper authority to seize the vehicles and other items and were keeping them to irritate Drew Peterson. In November, a special grand jury was convened to investigate both cases.

At the hearing, Brodsky asked the judge to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate what he says are leaks of secret grand jury testimony that are prejudicial toward his client.

"It's obvious to anyone who watches the television-news-based entertainment media, especially certain television cable channels, that there is a serious and continuing leak," stated a letter written by Brodsky. "While it is probably too late in Sgt. Peterson's case, we ask that rapid action be taken so [as] to assure public confidence in the grand jury process in the future, and to keep its investigations from becoming fodder for the mass entertainment business."

At a news conference after the hearing, Brodsky -- who, along with his client, has made numerous appearances on national TV news programs -- said the leaks have been so damaging and the media coverage so great that should Drew Peterson be charged with a crime, he could not get a fair trial anywhere in the United States.

"It's prejudicial to my client," he said. "Things that are told to the grand jury that are hearsay or double hearsay or mere rumor or speculation that are disclosed in the course of a wide-ranging investigation are reported by some members of the press ... as fact, when they're not."

Charles Pelkie, spokesman for the Will County state's attorney's office, said Brodsky's allegations regarding leaks are unwarranted.

"We have not commented on anything with regard to grand jury proceedings in any case whatsoever," Pelkie said. "Grand juries conduct their business in secret. Mr. Brodsky has not appeared before any grand jury. He's speculating as to what may or may not be a leak from the grand jury. It's ... an attempt on his part to discredit the grand jury process."

Drew Peterson told ABC News in an interview on Saturday that he's confident he can withstand the metastisizing parade of leaks, insinuations and burgeoning suspicion that he had a hand in the disappearance of his fourth wife Stacy Peterson.
"Everything being said is not true," Peterson said of allegations raised Saturday that he funnelled more than a quarter million dollars to his son from several bank accounts, including accounts held jointly between himself and Stacy, after the 23 year-old woman disappeared earlier this year.

Peterson has been increasingly aggressive in recent days in challenging some of the rampant media speculation that authorities are close to filing charges against him.
Numerous sources have confirmed to ABC News and other media outlets that a grand jury in Illinois has been hearing evidence targeting Peterson in the disappearance since at least last week.
Still, Peterson, a veteran former police sergeant, insists he is a cuckolded scapegoat and a convenient solution to a compelling missing mom mystery.
"As more things come up, more things get knocked down,'' Peterson told ABC News. " The whole incidence is losing credibility."
Peterson declined to directly address news reports that he wrote his son a series of checks totalling more than $250,000 after Stacy's disappearance, but said pointedly that "the truth about them will come out."
Peterson has repeatedly and vehemently denied accusations that he was involved in the disappearance of Stacy Peterson. However, an Illinois grand jury has been reviewing evidence to that end throughout the past week. Authorities are also aggressively re-examining the death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Salvio.
The allegations that he was "funnelling'' assets to his son in anticipation of his arrest were first reported by a local news station in Illinois, though rumors to that effect have been percolating in Midwest media circles for at least a week. Asked on Saturday during a telephone interview if he was worried about the new report, Peterson told ABC News, "I'm always concerned."
A report published on MyFoxChicago.com Saturday morning reported that prosecutors have subpoenaed bank records showing that Peterson, 53, transferred almost $250,000 from private bank accounts, some shared with his wife, to his son Steve Peterson, an Illinois police officer.
While he denied the Fox report, which strongly insinuated that the alleged transfer of money was nefarious, Peterson seemed to indicate in an interview with ABC News last week that he had taken steps to protect his children's future. "The kids are taken care of,'' Peterson told ABC News Law & Justice Senior Correspondent Jim Avila. "If I'm hit by a bus or arrested I have arranged care of the children -- set up trusts and who will care for them," he said.
Stacy Peterson, 23, disappeared from her home in Bolingbrook, Ill., nearly two months ago. Suspicion has since mounted that Drew Peterson, 53, Stacy's husband and a former sergeant in the Bolingbrook Police Department, may have been involved.

Authorities have named Peterson a suspect in Stacy's disappearance but have not charged him with any crime. Peterson himself insists his wife is alive and says she told him she was leaving him for another man.

Sharon Bychowski, a neighbor to the Petersons and a close friend of Stacy's, told ABC News today she had not heard reports of Drew's financial transactions and was reluctant to comment.

"But," she told ABC News, "if he's transferring a whole bunch of money of the account, I think he's gonna have issues."

CBS/AP) A judge is denying a former Bolingbrook police officer's request to have items including 11 guns and two cars returned after they were seized during the search for his missing wife.

Drew Peterson's lawyers had hoped a judge would rule in his favor Monday. But the request was denied.

The weapons and cars were among a series of items that were taken by investigators searching for 23-year-old Stacy Peterson who vanished in late October.

Peterson is a suspect in her disappearance.

Meanwhile, Peterson's lawyer says he wants a special prosecutor to look into leaks from a grand jury convened in the case.

Attorney Joel Brodsky calls the leaks about his client, Drew Peterson, "prodigious to say the least."

The Will County grand jury has been hearing what is meant to be sealed testimony in the investigation of Stacy Peterson's disappearance in late October. Many details have appeared in media reports, often attributed to unnamed sources.

Brodsky says he doesn't blame prosecutors but wonders if details are coming from someone on the grand jury or others involved in the investigation.

Over the weekend, the search of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal for Stacy Peterson was sparked by cell phone records that indicated that Drew Peterson was near there when he received an anxious call from his sister-in-law, Cassandra Cales, a source said, according to CBS News station WBBM-TV.

Cales has said she called Drew Peterson's cell phone about 11 p.m. Oct. 28. Stacy Peterson was last seen that morning. Cales said Peterson sounded out of breath and said he was at his home. But Cales said she was outside his house and he was not there.

The search of the canal floor, however, did not yield much other than removing abandoned cars from the waterway, said a police source involved in the investigation, reports WBBM.

CHICAGO (AP) - Drew Peterson's lawyer acknowledged Tuesday that days after Peterson's wife disappeared he transferred $200,000 into an account belonging to his adult son - but only to keep the woman he says left him for another man from getting it.

“It's his life savings,” said Joel Brodsky, explaining the money was the equity on the couple's Bolingbrook home. “He sits there and he goes, 'Wherever she's at, she can access this money. I can't have her taking this money.' So he takes the money and gives it to his son ... so she can't grab it out of the home equity line.”

Brodsky said he was discussing the transfer to protect his client and offer an explanation for what he called potentially damaging information leaked to the media from a grand jury. The grand jury has been convened in the investigations of Stacy Peterson's disappearance in late October and the 2004 death of Drew Peterson's ex-wife, Kathleen Savio.

Authorities have named Peterson a suspect in his wife's disappearance but he has not been charged with a crime. He has not been called a suspect in the death of Savio, who prosecutors have said they believe was the victim of a homicide staged to look like an accident.

Brodsky said there have been a number of leaks of grand jury information that is supposed remain secret.

He cited as another example reports that Stacy Peterson told her pastor she saw her husband wearing a black ninja-style outfit the night before Savio's body was found in bathtub in her own home. Drew Peterson denies that ever happened.

Brodsky said while the pastor did go on television to discuss conversations he said he had with Stacy Peterson, he never discussed that specific claim.

“But he allegedly gave that (information) to a grand jury and then it comes out,” Brodsky said. “That's a leak.”

It was the reporting of just such information that prompted Brodsky to ask a Will County judge to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate what he says is the illegal disclosure to the media of information presented to a grand jury. Judge Daniel Rozak has not responded to the request.
Brodsky wrote in a letter to Rozak that while he believes it is unlikely Drew Peterson would be indicted, he worries that if that happens, the leaks would hurt his ability to fight the charges.

“These illegal leaks make a fair trial impossible in such an event,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, Brodsky also is taking aim at what appears to be a key component of the investigation: cell phone records.

State police have said the search for Stacy Peterson has focused on where her cell phone was used. While Drew Peterson has not been charged with any crime, Brodsky already is raising questions about the records' reliability.
“How many people call a month disputing cell phone records (saying) 'I didn't make that call.'?” he said. “How accurate can they be?”

Divers quit searching for Stacy in canal  

Divers hunting for missing Bolingbrook mom Stacy Peterson have ended their search of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal near Romeoville, police said Wednesday.

"We pretty much concluded the searches for the time being," said Trooper Mark Dorencz, an Illinois State Police spokesman. He said divers from a number of police departments will continue to check other waterways.

Divers have been probing the canal since late November for some sign of Peterson, 23, who vanished Oct. 28.

Cell phone records showed that Stacy Peterson's husband, Drew, was near the canal area the night his wife disappeared, sources have said.

Police have labeled Drew Peterson a suspect in his wife's disappearance. He has denied involvement.

Regarding the transfer of funds from several accounts of DP & his wife SP to DP's son -
one report says it is "nevarious" or villainous/wicked. :smt065

Someone questioned DP's oldest son being involved in the murder.
How about the quarter mil was a payoff to his son for helping with the hit on SP?
Well . . . you never know.  He is "buying" his son's silence.
That is probably the real truth!!!


DP or his attorney Brodsky is trying to say that the $ was transferred to stop SP from getting the money - his wife who ran away allegedly who he by the way never tried to look for and never showed any drop of emotion or grief for.
Let's consider his story.  His wife ran away - even if it was true that she ran away with another man - remember DP said they (DP & SP) had a good marriage as he saw it.   So if we give him the benefit of the doubt and consider this story, then he would not have been transferring funds to protect them from her taking them, he would have been joining the search parties and welcoming the searchers who came to look for his lost wife who he says he had a good relationship with and who he says was a good mother to his children.

Also, if Brodsky's defense is "how accurate are the phone records", he will lose big time!  I have worked for three phone companies and phone records are extremely accurate.  Yes, people do call in and say, I never made that call and when you look it up they say, Oh, yes I did!  The phone records are amazingly accurate!  What an attorney if he is that stupid!!! :2thinky:

Peterson's former friend tells of family's reactions;
Ex-TV reporter goes before grand jury in Lisa Stebic case
 
By Matthew Walberg and Erika Slife, Tribune staff reporters
 

A former friend of Drew Peterson testified before a special grand jury Thursday about how Peterson's immediate family reacted in the days after his wife, Stacy Peterson, disappeared.

"They asked me about the children that week, their demeanor and what went on in the house the week that I was there," said Richard Mims, who stayed at the Petersons' home after Stacy Peterson, 23, vanished Oct. 28.

Mims declined to reveal specific questions he was asked or what he told the grand jury other than that he saw nothing unusual between Peterson and his children, whom he called "the most well-mannered, wholesome children I've been around."

Authorities have named Drew Peterson, 53, a suspect in his wife's disappearance. The investigation has led authorities to re-examine the 2004 death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, whose body was found in her bathtub in Bolingbrook just weeks before the financial terms of the couple's divorce were to be finalized.

Peterson has two children with Stacy Peterson, ages 4 and 2, and two with Savio. Stacy Peterson adopted those children. Drew Peterson, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant, has not been charged with a crime and denies wrongdoing in either case. He maintains that his wife left him for another man.

Mims was one of Drew Peterson's staunchest defenders early on, but their relationship has become strained since Mims publicly stated that he has doubts about Peterson's statements on the events of Oct. 28-29.

Recently, Mims sold his story to the National Enquirer, which caused tension with Stacy Peterson's supporters.

Before he testified, Mims said in a phone interview that pressure surrounding the case was starting to get to him.

"Fifteen minutes of fame is turning into 15 weeks of hell," he said. "I'm sick of it. I want to go back to my life."

Mims, who has been living out of a hotel room since he left Drew Peterson's house, said he was asked to reappear before the grand jury the last week of January.

Also Thursday, former TV reporter Amy Jacobson testified before the special grand jury, which also is examining the April 30 disappearance of Lisa Stebic of Plainfield.

Stebic, 37, vanished from her family's home, and her husband, Craig, has been named a person of interest, though he has repeatedly denied any involvement.

They were divorcing when she disappeared. Numerous searches have failed to turn up evidence.

In July, Jacobson was fired from WMAQ-Ch. 5 after a rival station aired video of her in a bikini top with a towel around her waist at the Stebic home. Jacobson has said she was on her way to the East Bank Club with her children when she got a call from Craig Stebic's sister, who invited Jacobson to the house to talk.

Jacobson's attorney, Robert Andalman, said she was subpoenaed. They declined to answer reporters' questions about her testimony.

Melanie Greenberg, Lisa Stebic's cousin and a family spokeswoman, said she was surprised to learn of Jacobson's appearance before the grand jury.

"We've been assured by the state's attorney's office that they were continuing to work on the case," she said. "We knew there was a grand jury because the children were called before it in November."

Woman's whereabouts a mystery
Story Highlights
Search for police officer's wife yields many questions, no answers

Witnesses' statements contradict husband's, but evidence lacking

Police, volunteers look for blue barrel that may contain body

Results of autopsy on third wife not released

 
     
BOLINGBROOK, Illinois (AP) -- Nearly two months after Stacy Peterson was last seen, the investigation into her disappearance and suspicions surrounding her husband have produced many intriguing questions. But few answers.

 
Stacy Peterson of Bolingbrook, Illinois, hasn't been seen in public since October 28.

 1 of 2  A mysterious blue barrel. Divers searching the murky, frigid waters of an industrial canal. A woman's body exhumed for clues three years after her death.

All the story lines, though, have led back to one house on a quiet street, and to Sunday, October 28, the day the 23-year-old mother of two small children vanished.

The last time anyone outside the Peterson home talked to her was around 10:15 a.m., when she spoke briefly with a friend, Bruce Ziderich, about helping to paint an apartment he owned in nearby Yorkville.

Ziderich told her to wait until she heard from her sister, Cassandra Cales, before going to the apartment, said Pamela Bosco, a longtime family friend.

After that, the trail goes cold.

Peterson's husband, Drew Peterson, 53, who resigned from the Bolingbrook Police Department after being named a suspect in his wife's disappearance, has told reporters that when he awoke around 11 a.m., his wife already had left.

About noon, Sharon Bychowski, a neighbor and friend of Stacy's, phoned Drew and told him she'd been to the market and had some candy for the kids.

Drew Peterson stopped by about 1:15 p.m., saying he had to run a brief errand, and returned about 15 minutes later, Bychowski said.

By midafternoon, around 2:30 or 3 p.m., Bosco said, Cales tried to call her sister.

Cales said Stacy had told her two days earlier that she feared Peterson might harm her and that she planned to talk to a divorce attorney the following Monday.

Stacy Peterson had told family and friends that her husband -- whom she'd met six years earlier, when she was 17 and he was married to his third wife -- had become increasingly controlling, following her, tracking her with GPS and calling her incessantly on her cell phone.

Two weeks before she disappeared, she had gotten a new cell number after she found her phone bill in her husband's briefcase, with some of the numbers highlighted, Bosco said.

But one thing didn't change: her insistence on always keeping her phone turned on, Bosco said.

So when Cales couldn't get through that afternoon, she began to worry.

At 2:30 p.m. that day, Drew Peterson -- a 29-year Bolingbrook police veteran -- called work, saying he could not work his 5 p.m.-to-5 a.m. shift because his wife was gone and he needed to stay home with his children, Lt. Ken Teppel said.

But other stories have emerged to contradict Peterson's account.

Around 10 that night, a friend of Drew Peterson's stepbrother Thomas Morphey said he was home watching the World Series when Morphey called in a panic, saying he needed to talk.

Walter Martineck said Morphey told him that just hours earlier he'd helped Peterson move a large blue container from an upstairs bedroom into Peterson's SUV. Morphey said he never looked inside the container, but it was warm to the touch and he had a terrible feeling, Martineck said.

"He took me by my shoulders, told me I can't say anything, and he just told me that he thinks he helped dispose of Stacy's body," Martineck said on NBC's "Today" program.

Peterson has denied that Morphey helped him move anything.

He has told reporters that his wife called him around 9 that night, telling him that she was leaving him. Later, in one of several television interviews, Peterson said his wife told him, "She found somebody else."

Investigators have never confirmed reports of a container, but volunteers from the Texas-based group EquuSearch who helped look for her have said police asked them to watch for a large blue plastic barrel.

For weeks, police divers searched a canal south of Chicago looking for evidence.

Cales went to Peterson's house around 11 p.m. on October 28 looking for her sister, Bosco said. Drew was not home, but his kids were.

"They said their parents had a fight and that Stacy had gone to Grandpa's house," Bosco said.

At 11:26, Cales said she reached Peterson on his cell phone.

"He said, 'Your sister left me,"' Cales recounted on the Web site findstacypeterson.com. She recounted what he told her next: "She called me at 9 p.m. and said she was leaving me and going on a li'l vacation ... and she left the car somewhere in Bolingbrook."

Bosco said Peterson told Cales even more.

"He said, 'She took $25,000 from the safe, her bikini is missing and her passport is missing, she's disappeared just like your mom,"' said Bosco, the last comment referring to Cales' and Stacy Peterson's mother, who vanished when Stacy was a teenager.

Cales said she didn't believe any of it -- starting with Peterson's contention that he was home. She knew that wasn't true, she wrote, because she had just been there and was sitting around the corner.

At 1:36 a.m. on October 29, Cales went to the Bolingbrook Police Department to report her sister missing, then filed another missing-person report with the Illinois State Police, Teppel said.

By November 9, police were calling Drew Peterson a suspect in his wife's disappearance and said it was a possible homicide. They also said that they would exhume the body of Peterson's ex-wife, Kathleen Savio, saying a 2004 death that was originally ruled an accidental bathtub drowning likely was a homicide. They have not called Peterson a suspect in that case and have not released results of a new autopsy.

But for all the searches by police and volunteers, all the tidbits of information and speculation, there still have been no charges -- and no indication that they're imminent.

Drew Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, even raised the possibility that Stacy Peterson's disappearance might never be solved.

"Not every mystery gets solved," Brodsky said. "This is not TV, it's real life." E-mail to a friend

Thanks for the info. Very interesting reading.

I hope Kathleen and Stacy get the justice they deserve. It looks like DP had plenty of people covering for him in the past. Hopefully, those days are gone.

Questions but Few Answers in Peterson Case

BOLINGBROOK, Ill. —  A mysterious blue barrel. Divers searching the murky, frigid waters of an industrial canal. A woman's body exhumed for clues three years after her death.

Sharon Bychowski wasn't sure what to make of the odd display in her front yard Wednesday, including dozens of photographs of gravestones, a map of a cemetery, a Christmas stocking and a hand-scrawled letter that read in part: "Please fully investigate this grave site" and "Find the Truth."

But Bychowski says she suspects someone targeted her for a reason. "I'm right next door to Stacy, and [the public] has known from the beginning that my purpose is to find Stacy," Bychowski said Wednesday. "She's my best friend."

Bychowski called Bolingbrook Police Chief Ray McGury after she and her husband found the assortment of objects Wednesday morning. The objects, some of which were in her mailbox, included copies of a National Enquirer story about the Peterson case with the headline: "Mystery of Cop's Missing Wife . . . Solved!"

McGury said two of the Petersons' neighbors found "non-threatening letters" in their mailboxes Wednesday. McGury said both offered a "possible location" for Stacy Peterson. All of the materials were turned over to State Police. McGury called the letters upsetting, but said they appeared to have been written by "somebody playing a pretty sick prank."

Bychowski doesn't know who left the mysterious materials, which included a hand-drawn map of a cemetery and a square within the graveyard, indicating where to search. Bychowski wouldn't say where the cemetery is. "I believe [investigators] can check out the site," she said.

Stacy Peterson has been missing since Oct. 28. Her husband, former Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson, is considered a suspect in her disappearance. Drew Peterson has repeatedly denied any involvement in the case and has said his wife has left him, possibly for another man.

Peterson Family: Creepy Notes Not A Lead

BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (WBBM)  -- As we've been reporting, two neighbors of Drew Peterson received disturbing notes about the disappearance of Stacy Peterson - and one of those neighbors received graveyard photographs strewn in the driveway and yard.

WBBM's Steve Miller reports.

Now authorities apparently have some new information about those notes.  Information suggesting they were the product of a mind obsessed with the Peterson case - but of no real value.

Notes about Stacy Peterson.  A map.  Photographs of gravesites.  What does it all add up to?

Pamela Bosco, a spokeswoman for Stacy Peterson's family, says they add up to nothing.

"It turned out it wasn't a real lead.  Illinois State Police found out who the person was who'd done it.  It was a man.  And it seemed like he was just a little bit emotionally involved into this case, and not completely stable.

"They found him and questioned him, and it turned out not to be anything of use for the case."

A spokesman for Illinois State Police would not comment

what a creep or creeps! :shock:
Those poor neighbors must be already so creeped out by DP!
One of them wanted to stay somewhere else when he kept calling her over - remember?

I am hoping some Sherlock Holmes sort will come forward with some clues they pulled out from DP's strange behavior and strange comebacks he says and put together some clues that solve the case and frame this guy. :scratch:

Former Illinois Police Officer Suspected in Wife's Disappearance Named in Brutality Suit

Saturday , January 05, 2008

 CHICAGO  —

A former police officer suspected in the disappearance of his wife will be defended in a police brutality lawsuit by an attorney hired by the town that employed him, his personal attorney said Friday.

Former Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, who is a suspect in the disappearance of his wife, Stacy Peterson, and two other Bolingbrook officers are accused in a federal lawsuit by a man who claims they broke his thumb while he was in police custody.

In his lawsuit filed last month, Timothy Brownlee accused police of having used excessive force, committed assault and battery and conspiracy, and falsely arrested and imprisoned him on May 28, 2007.

He claims Peterson and two other officers dragged him from the booking area and threw him to the ground. He said after he was handcuffed Peterson "grabbed his right thumb and twisted it, breaking it."

Police say Brownlee was arrested after a neighbor complained he was using vulgar language and was uncooperative, and that Brownlee's actions in the booking room required officers to restrain him. Brownlee was initially charged with disorderly conduct and obstruction of justice, but the charges were later dismissed, according to his lawsuit.

Brownlee referred questions to his attorney, Jon Loevy. Loevy did not immediately return calls for comment Friday.

Village attorney James Boan declined to comment on the lawsuit.

Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, provided The Associated Press a copy of a letter in which Boan said the village would provide Peterson an attorney.

Brodsky said Brownlee included Peterson in the lawsuit in an "attempt to make money off the fact that Drew Peterson is being investigated and Stacy Peterson is missing and (Peterson's former wife) Kathy Savio died tragically in her bathtub."

He said the incident in the booking room was videotaped and Peterson was not on duty.

Peterson has been named a suspect in his wife's disappearance, which authorities have called a possible homicide, but he has not been charged. Stacy Peterson was last seen Oct. 28 and was reported missing by her family the next day.

Peterson has denied any involvement in her disappearance. He has said he believes she left him for another man and is alive.

The investigation prompted the exhumation of the Peterson's third wife, Savio. Prosecutors have said evidence indicates her 2004 death may have been a homicide staged to look like an accident. Results of a new autopsy have not been released. Peterson has not been named a suspect in her death.

Letter claims Stacy sighting (New Letter  :roll: )
 

An anonymous letter from a man who claimed to have spoken to missing Bolingbrook mom Stacy Peterson was waiting in the mailbox of her husband when he returned with his children from vacation Sunday.

The letter was mailed from Cincinnati and postmarked Dec. 29. It arrived at the home of Peterson's husband, embattled ex-cop Drew Peterson, but was addressed to "Mr. Joel Peterson." Drew Peterson's attorney is Joel Brodsky of Chicago.

The author of the letter claimed to have spotted Stacy Peterson together with an unidentified man in the parking lot of the mall in Florence, Ky., Nov. 18. Florence is about 15 miles from Cincinnati.

The letter writer claimed to recognize Stacy from pictures in newspapers.

The author of the letter tells of encountering a Boone County sheriff's deputy and reporting the Stacy sighting, but "he said, 'Yeah OK, if it is I'm not going to help him that crooked cop' I assume meaning you."

The Boone County Sheriff's Department could not be reached for comment Sunday.

The anonymous letter is at least the second sent to Drew Peterson or his attorney claiming contact with his wife, who last was seen Oct. 28.

The last post should read:
"The anonymous letter is at least the second allegedly sent to DP . . ."
Quite interesting that it is anonymous, don't you think?
If you saw a missing person, wouldn't you want to help their family find them?
Hmmmmmm .  .  .

I am not ok with SP disappearing off the face of the earth and
DP going on living with their kids and KS's kids either who was shown killed by one famous doctor who did another autopsy.
They questioned the boys in the middle (KS's sons) and they said their parents were fighting the day SP disappeared.
Surely the boys know something?
How can DP make her disappear and get away with it? :shaking:

Isn't there anything they can frame him on?

Peterson relaxes as press backs off
BOLINGBROOK | Reporters no longer swarm home of ex-cop with missing wife

January 14, 2008
The convoy of TV trucks was gone. Not a single reporter was in sight.
Only the fluttering "Caution. Do Not Enter" tape encircling a neighbor's front yard hinted at the frenzy that, until recently, enveloped Pheasant Chase Court.

And Drew Peterson liked it that way.

"It's a great break -- it's almost like I can live a normal life," said a relaxed-looking Peterson, sitting in a burgundy leather chair behind a wooden desk in his home office one morning last week.

"A normal life" is, of course, a relative term for a man whose friends and family appear weekly before a Will County grand jury investigating Stacy Peterson's disappearance and the mysterious bathtub drowning of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

"They're hot on the trail of my family and friends," a sarcastic Peterson said of the grand jury.

In the adjoining living room, Anthony and Lacy -- the two young children he has with Stacy -- squabbled in front of a huge TV that played cartoons.

"Anthony and Lacy, I'm talking to people," Peterson called out in a voice more fatherly than stern. "What happens if you're bad? Go up to your room."

Prepared to sell his story
Lacking the media swarm, and apparently with no place to be, Peterson chatted about a range of subjects, from his love of flying to the actor he'd most like to see play him in the movie version of his life.

"I look a lot like Denzel [Washington]," he joked.

And what about flying? Peterson owns an ultra-light plane he had imported from South Africa.

"You ought to let me take you for a ride," he offered. "You'd really get a kick out of it."

Unprompted, Peterson pointed to a figurine on a shelf in his office. It was of a man standing next to a little girl.

"That's me and Stacy in 1988," he said, chuckling. "Somebody gave it to us as a joke."

In fact, Peterson met his future wife when she was a teenager and he was a middle-aged Bolingbrook cop.

There are some subjects that are off-limits with Peterson. When asked about his cop days, he said he probably shouldn't go into that.

"If the networks are paying for it, I can't give it away," he explained. "Then I've got to listen to [his attorney Joel] Brodsky yell at me. It's like he's my mother."

Peterson gave out the phone number of his Florida publicist. Peterson said he would happily chat if the publicist said it was OK. Later, the publicist politely explained Peterson wasn't available to talk about his cop days -- there's a deal in the works for someone else to tell that story.

"If the networks are paying for it, I can't give it away.

Did Stacy receive raunchy message?; Attorney says text on cell phone may clear Drew Peterson
 

Drew Peterson and his attorney claim Stacy Peterson received a racy text message last September from a man who might be the key to discovering the missing Bolingbrook mother's whereabouts.

The message, supposedly sent to Stacy Peterson's cell phone at 9:47 a.m. Sept. 20, reads: "You my love are the hottest b ---- in the world. Thanks for ridding [sic] me like a bucking bronco last night."

Joel Brodsky, Peterson's attorney, said the message may be the break Brodsky needs to clear his client's name. Peterson has been named a suspect in Stacy's disappearance. The mother of two vanished Oct. 28.

Ever since his wife disappeared, Drew Peterson has insisted she ran off, possibly with another man.

"This investigation isn't all about trying to prove Drew did something wrong," Brodsky said this week. "There are leads out there that have nothing to do with Drew."

Both Brodsky and Drew Peterson said they don't know the identity of the man who sent Stacy the text message.

Peterson said this week that he stumbled across the message in mid-December, while he was fiddling with the phone.

"I was just playing with the phone one day and I found it," Peterson said. "I was like, 'What the heck is this?' "

Peterson said he gave the purple cell phone to Brodsky, who then gave it to Illinois State Police.

A search warrant issued Jan. 3 grants police the authority to seize, search and analyze Stacy's purple phone.

"Basically, what this shows is that Stacy had a secret lover," Brodsky said. "Who is this guy? Is he missing? If this person is missing, then the mystery is solved."

Charles B. Pelkie, a spokesman for the Will County state's attorney's office, declined to comment on the matter. Mark Dorencz, a spokesman for the State Police, could not be reached for comment.

This is not the first instance of a racy message showing up on one of Stacy Peterson's cell phones.

Scott Rossetto, a Shorewood man, admitted after testifying before a Will County grand jury that Stacy had called him out of the blue three weeks before she vanished and they exchanged "perverted and flirty" messages before she vanished. But Rossetto has denied he and Stacy Peterson were having a relationship, and he says he doesn't know where she is.

yeah right you dingbat attorney -
like one cell message will clear DP after all the contradictions by him in this case.
Somehow, no matter how good or bad you are at Math, nothing quite adds up with this dude. ::MonkeyEek::

I think this is just another phoney plot by DP like the anonymous letters he supposedly received.

Sorry, I am just not a believer of DP & his attorney only says what he is paid to say.
Hope they nail him Stacy.

Experts: Despite No Body, Peterson Case Could Go to Trial

Friday , January 18, 2008



CHICAGO —

Twelve weeks of combing woods and construction sites on foot and horseback, diving into ponds and canals, and retracing Stacy Peterson's last contact with family and friends have shed little light on the 23-year-old mother of two's whereabouts.

Neither investigators nor volunteer searchers have reported finding any trace of the woman — not a shred of clothing, a piece of jewelry or, most significantly, her body. And they're facing the very real possibility they never may.

So although authorities labeled Peterson's disappearance a possible homicide and named her husband, former Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, a suspect less than two weeks after she vanished, the question is whether anyone could ever be charged or tried in the case.

"Without a body, the average U.S. citizen would probably tell you that it is impossible," said Daniel Bibb, a former New York assistant district attorney who helped prosecute Dr. Robert Bierenbaum, a plastic surgeon convicted of killing his wife and dropping her body into the ocean from a small plane.

Suspects have been brought to trial — and convicted — in cases where not only is the body missing, but physical evidence linking the suspect to the crime doesn't exist.

"A body is such a critical component of a homicide case ... but it is something you can overcome," said Deborah Denno, a Fordham University law professor who has researched so-called "no-body cases." With or without a body, she said, "you need circumstantial evidence."

Trying no-body cases can be very different than those in which a pathologist explains in minute detail how a victim was killed and police officers testify about weapons, blood stains and fingerprints.

Prosecutors who have won convictions in such cases say they first must overcome the suggestion the purported victim is alive and simply walked away from his or her life.

"We brought as many friends and relatives as we could find to show she was making plans," Bibb said of Gail Katz-Bierenbaum, who was killed in 1985. That included presenting evidence about her preparation for college examinations and excitement about graduation.

And to head off defense attorneys suggesting the woman committed suicide, "we put her gynecologist on to show she recently had an IUD placed," Bibb said. "She's not going to get an IUD, thinking about being sexually active if at the same time she's going to commit suicide."

Before successfully prosecuting Steven Sherer for the murder of Jami Sherer in 2000 in Washington state — 10 years after she vanished — prosecutor Marilyn Brenneman contacted every state in the country to make sure nobody using Jami Sherer's name, birth date or Social Security number had ever applied for a driver's license.

During trial, Brenneman presented evidence the woman didn't use a credit card, cash a check or do any of the countless things people do every day to leave some kind of trail.

She called family and friends who testified the woman never once contacted them and told jurors about her devotion to her young son and how much she enjoyed her job.

"You have to show she's not somewhere else," Brenneman said. "It's a process of elimination."

The Will County State's Attorney's office won't discuss the Peterson case, but if it does come to trial, there is little doubt that Stacy Peterson's life will take center stage. Much that has been discussed since she disappeared — from her own devotion to her children to her nursing school attendance to her comments to her sister that she was about to see a divorce lawyer — likely would be used by prosecutors to demonstrate she is not a woman who would voluntarily disappear.

Prosecutors also appeal to jurors' common sense.

"There's a reason that after seven years someone is declared legally dead in this country," Brenneman said. "If you have a close relationship with your parents, your siblings or your child, you might take off for a week or two if you're terrified but you'd make contact. You'd have to make contact."

Drew Peterson has long maintained his wife left him for another man and that he believes she is alive.

His attorney, Joel Brodsky, said Thursday that a message sent to Stacy Peterson's cell phone in September shows she was having an affair, which he said lent credence to his client's theory.

In the text message, the anonymous author referred to Stacy Peterson as "my love" and thanked her for a sexual encounter the previous evening, according to a transcript provided by Brodsky. But a family friend said the message could have been sent by anyone, even someone who didn't know Stacy Peterson.

Brenneman and Bibb say the more time that passes, the less willing jurors are to believe missing persons left on their own.

"Ultimately, jurors don't believe that disappearing and starting a new life is possible," said Bibb, who prosecuted Bierenbaum 15 years after his wife disappeared.

So how do we know that the text message did'nt set Drew off and give him a reason to start planning her murder?  It would give him a month + to plan it all out.  I don't bellieve for one minute that this exonerates Drew in any way.  I agree that it is another ploy to try to make it look like someone else is/was involved with her disappearing.  I am still standing firm in my opinion that this man is guilty of, not only Stacy's disappearance, but Kathleen Savio's death as well.  I believe that the truth will come out and everyone will see this man's true monster side.  He has gotten away with too much already.  There comes a time when karma gets involved and that is not something he can prevent.

Police say husband is still suspect


CHICAGO (AP) - Illinois State Police say former police officer Drew Peterson remains a prime suspect in his wife's disappearance.

Sergeant Thomas Burek says investigators have new information that only reinforces that the suburban Chicago man is a suspect in Stacy Peterson's disappearance.

The state police spokesman didn't provide details. The comments come as relatives prepared to mark Stacy Peterson's 24th birthday today. She went missing in October.

The comments also come after Drew Peterson's attorney said a racy message sent to Stacy Peterson's cell phone in September supports the claim she left her husband for another man.

But in his Friday statements, Burek said it's clear she didn't voluntarily end all contact with her children, family and friends.

Crews Find Woman's Body, Blue Garbage Can Near Ship Canal

POSTED: 5:18 pm CST January 25, 2008
UPDATED: 10:42 pm CST January 25, 2008


CHICAGO -- Authorities said Friday they have found human remains near the Illinois Sanitary Ship Canal.

The body of a woman was discovered -- along with a blue garbage can.



Authorities said that the body was badly decomposed.

NBC5's Natalie Martinez reported that authorities did not release the woman's race, but they did say her hair was light in color.

"At first, he (the inspector) thought it was a log or a fallen tree," said Roy Witherow of the Village of Lyons. "But, on closer inspection, he said it was obviously a human foot and leg, and a little closer he saw that it was a human body."

The site was located at 34th and Kedzie, and at least six officials could be seen from Sky5 combing through snowy woods. An inspector was touring the site and made the discovery Friday afternoon.

The blue garbage can has raised some eyebrows, Martinez reported. Former Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, who is the sole suspect in the disappearance of his wife, Stacy, was seen carrying a blue container shortly after her disappearance last October.

Sgt. Thomas J. Burek, a spokesman with the Illinois State Police, said that the team of investigators assigned to the Stacy Peterson case was "aware" of the body parts found near the Illinois Sanitary Ship Canal, along with the blue garbage can. Burek added that the Illinois State Police was in communication with authorities in Chicago on this new case and would await the results of the autopsy, scheduled for Saturday, before becoming involved in this investigation.

Not sure when this photo was taken but her hair looks alot lighter in this photo.  I wonder if her hair was lightened when she disappeared?

Woman's decomposed body discovered in Chicago

CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- Police discovered a decomposed body Friday in southwest Chicago -- a find that sparked unsubstantiated speculation it could be related to the disappearance of Stacy Peterson

The body appears to be that of a female with reddish-blonde hair, a Chicago Police Department spokesman said.

A city surveyor found the remains frozen to the ground near some train tracks at about 2 p.m. The body was taken to the Chicago medical examiner's office, where an autopsy has been scheduled.

Stacy Peterson disappeared in October. Her husband, Drew Peterson -- a former police sergeant in a Chicago suburb -- has been named a suspect in the disappearance.

He has consistently said he believes she ran away with another man.

The body was found about 20 miles from the Petersons' home, where she was last seen, CNN's Susan Roesgen reported.

Speaking to Nancy Grace on CNN Headline News, Drew Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, said local authorities have already asked a state task force working on Stacy Peterson's disappearance not to get involved.

I can tell you, it is not Stacy," Brodsky said. "I can guarantee you that."

Brodsky offered no proof of his assertion.

Drew and Stacy Peterson have been married four years and have two children. Drew has other children from a previous marriage.

Authorities are re-examining the death of Peterson's previous wife, Kathleen Savio, who was found drowned in a bathtub in 2004

Drew Peterson may be a lot of things, but one thing he is not is stupid (IMO). I do not believe he would leave Stacy in that location, in that manner. IMO this is not Stacy Peterson's body.

No he is not stupid but he is arrogant enough to try and put her body there because he thought being a police officer he would not be investigated.  He got away with it the first time so why not try it again.  If the media wasn't on this case like they were Drew Peterson would have never been brought in as a suspect.  I believe that the Bolling Brook police department would have dragged their feet in investigating one of their own in this murder.  Look what they did to the third wife's investigation which is nothing :-x

Chicago police deny blue barrel found near woman's body

CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- Police trying to identify the badly decomposed body of a woman discovered in an industrial area in Chicago, Illinois, denied Saturday that a blue barrel was located near the remains.
The original mention of a blue container in a statement from Lyons, Illinois, police sparked interest because of the possible tie to Stacy Peterson, 23, who disappeared October 28.

Illinois State Police have named her husband, Drew Peterson, a suspect. They have investigated whether the former Bolingbrook, Illinois, police sergeant removed a blue plastic container from his home the night before his wife was reported missing.

Drew Peterson, 53, has consistently said he believes she ran away with another man.

Chicago Police spokeswoman Monique Bond said on Saturday that no blue barrel was found near the body.

An environmental surveyor from Lyons, Illinois, who was conducting tests at an industrial site in southwest Chicago found the remains Friday afternoon. Police said he called his supervisors to report he'd seen what appeared to be a human foot and leg.

The body was transported to the Chicago medical examiner's office for autopsy.

A spokesman for the Chicago Police Department said the body appears to be that of a female with reddish-blond hair.

A posting on findstacypeterson.com describes the missing woman's hair as brown.

The body was found about 20 miles from the Petersons' home, where Drew Peterson said he last saw her, CNN's Susan Roesgen reported.

Speaking to Nancy Grace on CNN Headline News, Drew Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, said local authorities have already asked a state task force working on Stacy Peterson's disappearance not to get involved.

"I can tell you, it is not Stacy," Brodsky said. "I can guarantee you that."

Brodsky offered no proof of his assertion.

Drew and Stacy Peterson have been married four years and have two children. Drew has other children from a previous marriage.

Authorities are re-examining the death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, who was found dead in a bathtub in 2004. E-mail to a friend

Police: Human Remains Not Related to Stacy Peterson Case
Saturday, January 26, 2008


CHICAGO —  A Chicago Police spokeswoman says the human remains found frozen to the ground in a field on Chicago's southwest side are not related to the disappearance of Stacy Peterson.

Police spokeswoman Monique Bond also says the body is not related to the disappearance of Lisa Stebic.

The Cook County medical examiner's office says an autopsy is scheduled today on the badly decomposed remains found Friday by a suburban land surveyor.

Authorities say the worker found a human foot and leg near a blue garbage can. But Chicago police have said they did not find a blue garbage can.

The body was found about 100 feet from a set of train tracks just south of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal.

Peterson has been missing since October and Stebic has been missing since April.

Drew Peterson Wants to Divorce Missing Wife

Thursday, January 31, 2008
 Former Illinois Sgt. Drew Peterson wants to divorce his wife who vanished more than three months ago, The Herald News reported on Thursday.

"Yeah, but I don’t think I can for a year or so," Peterson told the newspaper about his divorce plans.

Stacy Peterson disappeared in October and is believed to be dead. Peterson is a prime suspect but insists he is innocent.

"She ran off with another guy," Peterson said, according to the newspaper. "It’s that simple."

"First we have to see if she shows up," he told The Herald News. "Then I think we have to wait for a year."

The ex-cop told the newspaper he would not mind getting legal advice from Chicago attorney Corri Fetman, who is expected to appear in Playboy magazine and has promoted her practice in racy billboard ads, according to the paper.

"If she wants to go out for drinks, give me a call," he told The Herald News.

Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, died under mysterious circumstances in 2004, when she was found in a bathtub. Her body was exhumed for further forensic analysis, and officials have reclassified her death as a "homicide staged to look like an accident."

Attorney: New Photos Might Be of Missing Woman Stacy Peterson

Thursday, January 31, 2008
 An attorney for Drew Peterson has turned over new photos exclusively to FOX News that he says might be of Peterson's missing fourth wife Stacy.

The lawyer told FOX News' John Gibson and Heather Nauert of "The Big Story" that he got the pictures from a retired police officer who said he saw Stacy Peterson in Thailand.

Drew Peterson says he can't be 100 percent sure that the photos are of his missing wife, who vanished in October and is presumed dead. Peterson is a prime suspect in her disappearance.

Also Thursday, Peterson, a former Illinois police sergeant, said he wanted to divorce Stacy. He has insisted that his wife is alive but ran off with another man.

Somebody knows what happened!
I don't  understand why they don't figure it out from the relative who moved the blue barrel and said he thinks you were in it, or from your stepkids who said you were fighting with DP that morning you disappeared.

SOMEBODY KNOWS SOMETHING and DP could be nailed.
Somebody come forward!

Pathologist declares Kathleen Savio’s death a homicide

JOLIET – Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow announced today that his office has received the final report on the autopsy performed on the remains of Kathleen S. Savio on Nov. 13, 2007.

Dr. Larry W. Blum, the forensic pathologist who performed the autopsy, concludes in his report that the actual cause of Kathleen Savio’s death was drowning and that the legal manner of death was homicide. Dr. Blum’s report was delivered to the Will County Coroner’s Office on Thursday, Feb. 21, 2008 and immediately forwarded to the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office and the Illinois State Police.

“Dr. Blum’s forensic report renders his expert opinion that this is a homicide,” State’s Attorney Glasgow said. “We have been investigating this as a murder since reopening the case in November of last year. We now have a scientific basis to formally and publicly classify it as such.”

The complete autopsy report is a component of the investigation into the March 1, 2004 death of Kathleen Savio and will not be released. However, the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office and the Illinois State Police are releasing the following quote from the conclusion in Dr. Blum’s report:

“It is my opinion based on my education, training, experience and personal observations, and to a reasonable degree of medical and scientific certainty, compelling evidence exists to support the conclusions that the cause of death of Kathleen S. Savio was drowning and further, that the manner of death was homicide.”

This was the second autopsy performed on Kathleen Savio’s remains. The first was performed shortly after her death in March 2004. Her body was exhumed on the morning of Nov. 13, 2007, and Dr. Blum performed the second autopsy that afternoon.

In his report, Dr. Blum notes that he reviewed photos taken from the scene at the time of Kathleen Savio’s death as well as reports of the initial scene investigation. He also carefully examined the physical location of Kathleen Savio’s death on Nov. 20, 2007 as part of his investigation.

His report includes the results of microscopic examinations and toxicological tests conducted on postmortem tissue specimens. The specimens examined by Dr. Blum were collected during the first autopsy on March 2, 2004, the second autopsy performed by Dr. Blum on Nov. 13, 2007, and a third autopsy performed by Dr. Michael Baden on behalf of Kathleen Savio’s family on Nov. 16, 2007.

The results of those examinations and tests are part of the investigation and are not being disclosed at this time.

The Illinois State Police are investigating the murder of Kathleen Savio as well as the disappearance of Stacy Peterson. Kathleen Savio’s murder and Stacy Peterson’s disappearance are simultaneously being investigated by a Special Grand Jury that was convened in November 2007.

Wrongful Death Suit Against Drew Peterson?

This is a rush transcript from "On the Record ," February 22, 2008. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, HOST: Kathleen Savio's family is petitioning the court to reopen her estate so they can file a wrongful death lawsuit against Drew Peterson. Now that the state's attorney's office says Savio's death was a homicide, how does this affect the civil suit? Let's bring back the panel.

Before we do that, Dr. Baden, where — can you show — where was the gash on her head?

DR. MICHAEL BADEN, FORENSIC PATHOLOGIST: The gash was on the back of the head, sort of in the midline.

VAN SUSTEREN: About how big?

BADEN: It said a few inches. And it had a lot of blood, and there was a lot of blood on the hair that wasn't — in order to get the best example of measurement, you have to shave the hair. It doesn't look like the hair was shaved here. It was about a two or three-inch laceration, a lot of blood in the hair. What probably happened is that she was laying face down with the blood on the hair over the 30 hours which I think she was dead, 36 hours. The water slowly leaked out of the tub, and that's why when she's found face down or on the side, the blood is still very prominent in the hair.

BADEN: That's right. That's right. A gash on the head, a lot of bruises on the body, and — but the cause of death was drowning, so...

VAN SUSTEREN: Someone held her down.

BADEN: Held her down, that she was beaten up before the drowning occurred, so if she were unconscious — if she were conscious, she was held down. She could have been unconscious.

VAN SUSTEREN: All right. Michael Cardoza, let's talk about the civil suit.

MICHAEL CARDOZA, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Sure.

VAN SUSTEREN: The family has asked to reopen the estate, saying that there's a brand-new asset out there that wasn't — that didn't go through her estate, the asset being the wrongful death action against Sergeant Drew Peterson. What do think about this?

CARDOZA: You know, I go back to — let's go back to 2004. Let's say that jury, the coroner's jury, did come back and they said criminal agency caused her death at that time. Is there enough evidence to prove Drew Peterson did it at that time? Do we know...

VAN SUSTEREN: By a preponderance...

CARDOZA: ... do we think...

VAN SUSTEREN: ... of the evidence.

CARDOZA: Probably not.

VAN SUSTEREN: That's — not beyond a reasonable doubt, though. This is a civil case...

(CROSSTALK)

VAN SUSTEREN: ... by 51 percent.

CARDOZA: Right. By the preponderant of evidence, right. So do they have a better case in the civil? Absolutely. But Brodsky, the attorney, is saying — and he better be careful here because he could get hoisted on his own petard. He's saying, Well, the statute of limitations is two years, but is it two years from discovery that there was a criminal agency or just two years from her death? And I've got to tell you...

VAN SUSTEREN: And...

CARDOZA: ... one thing I know about courts, if they get emotionally involved, and they want litigation to go through, believe me, they will rationalize to let in that civil case...

VAN SUSTEREN: And — and that...

CARDOZA: ... be filed in this court.

VAN SUSTEREN: And it's a fluid point (ph) to statute of limitations if there's fraud involved sometimes. But I mean, that's — it's going to be enormously...

CARDOZA: Agreed.

VAN SUSTEREN: ... complicated to litigate. Ted, you've been shaking your head some...

(CROSSTALK)

TED WILLIAMS, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Well, you know, I would love for them to be successful in a wrongful death suit against Peterson. But from the evidence and what we know, even though the standard is by preponderance of the evidence, I don't think they'd be successful in a civil suit against Peterson. But they may very well be successful in a civil lawsuit against the police department...

VAN SUSTEREN: No way.

WILLIAMS: ... if they knew...

VAN SUSTEREN: No way.

WILLIAMS: ... about all of the various activity and this woman complained...

VAN SUSTEREN: No way.

WILLIAMS: ... and they did nothing (INAUDIBLE)

VAN SUSTEREN: Bernie, is he going to get charged criminal — with this death? Is Sergeant Drew Peterson?

BERNIE GRIMM, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: No, for the reasons Ted said. You can't...

VAN SUSTEREN: Yes.

GRIMM: You can't...

(CROSSTALK)

GRIMM: No, you...

VAN SUSTEREN: Michael, is he going to get he charged, Michael Cardoza?

(CROSSTALK)

GRIMM: ... honestly believe you can get him convicted, which when Cardoza was a prosecutor, he would have done. Some prosecutor could charge him, but he could charge me, Ted...

Friends keep up search for Peterson;
They consider new sign as a reminder to ex-cop
 
Although it's been nearly four months since Stacy Peterson was heard from, her friends and family have not lessened their resolve to find her once winter releases its hold on area waterways and fields.

Volunteers work tirelessly to get the word out. Over the weekend they passed out 1,500 fliers with information about a fundraiser this Sunday to pay for the search. A non-profit group was established in her name. A Web site dedicated to the case remains active.

"And as soon as we lose the snow, we'll be right back out there looking for Stacy," said her friend and neighbor Sharon Bychowski.

Stacy Peterson was 23 when she disappeared on Oct. 28. Authorities have named her husband, former Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, 54, a suspect in the case. Last week, autopsy results were released stating that the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, was a homicide. Peterson has not been charged in either case and denies any wrongdoing.

On Tuesday, Bychowski and Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for Stacy's family, held a news conference at Bychowski's home, next door to Peterson's. A 3-by-4-foot sign promoting the fundraiser stood outside.

Bychowski said she plans to erect a similar sign featuring Stacy's face with the question "Where's Stacy?" Part of her motivation is to provide a continual reminder about the search to Peterson, who said he had no comment about the signs.

Peterson has not participated in any searches for his wife and maintains she left him and their children for another man.

"My job is to find Stacy Peterson, and then ... those kids can go to the home they're supposed to," Bychowski said. "We are going to put a sign out there on the weekends. It will be tasteful. It will say, 'Anyone with information, please call the Illinois State Police tip line and the Web site findstacypeterson.com."

Bychowski said she also wanted the women she has observed visiting Peterson lately to get a good look at his wife's photo.

Peterson acknowledged he has been visited frequently by one woman in particular, but declined to call her his girlfriend.

"So many girls, so little time," he said.

Bychowski and Bosco said they remain confident Stacy's case will be solved.

"I believe there's no such thing as a perfect crime," Bychowski said.

A hearing is scheduled Wednesday on Peterson's effort to get back his cars, guns and other belongings seized by police shortly after Stacy vanished.

On Thursday, Peterson is scheduled to once again appear on the "Today" show on NBC, while Bychowski is scheduled to appear before the grand jury investigating the Peterson case.

Bosco said the family was concerned about whether Peterson will get his belongings back.

"We hate to think that a man who is a suspect in the possible homicide of Stacy Peterson ... that he'd get his guns back. It goes beyond logic," she said.

The Sunday fundraiser will be at 115 Bourbon Street, 3359 W. 115th St., Merrionette Park, and will pay for such search expenses as transportation, food, lodging and supplies. There will be live music, a raffle and silent auction. Doors open at 1 p.m. Tickets are $25 before the event and can be bought online at www.groovetickets.com or over the phone at 877-71GROOVE.

Drew Peterson may regain items seized by police: Prosecutors seek to prevent return of weapons
 


Feb. 27--Drew Peterson will get back within 30 days guns and other property seized by investigators provided he agrees not to challenge the validity of photographs of them or documents related to them at any future trial, a judge ruled Wednesday morning.

But prosecutors in court revealed they are also asking state police to revoke Peterson's firearm owner's identification card, a move that could ultimately prevent the return of the weapons.

Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, filed a motion in December seeking the return of the vehicles, 11 guns, computers, music CDs, backpacks and other items seized by state police when they executed a search warrant at the former Bolingbrook police sergeant's home in November.

Judge Richard Schoenstedt initially denied the motion but said the request would be periodically reviewed. He granted the motion during a brief hearing Wednesday.

Brodsky has argued that state police and the Will County state's attorney's office have had more than enough time to analyze the evidence and are keeping the items only to vex his client.

On Feb. 1, Schoenstedt heard testimony from former Michigan State Police forensic scientist Ann Chamberlain, who said that in most cases investigators can complete their analysis of physical evidence within days. She said that returning items should not hamper a criminal investigation.

In court Wednesday, Will County Assistant State's Atty. John Connor told the judge his office has sent a letter to Illinois State Police asking that Peterson's FOID card be revoked.

Chuck Pelkie, a spokesman for State's Atty. James Glasgow, confirmed the letter was sent Tuesday but would not elaborate on the basis for the request.

Brodsky said it was the first time he had heard of the letter and he doubted police would find any cause to have the card revoked. He said Peterson has both state and federal licenses to carry firearms.

Peterson has been named a suspect in the Oct. 28 disappearance of his wife, Stacy Peterson. Authorities also are reinvestigating the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, who was found drowned in the bathtub of her home just weeks before the couple's divorce settlement was to be finalized.

Last week, a report on a November autopsy of Savio's remains ruled her death a homicide, and Will County State's Atty. James Glasgow said the investigation was being considered a murder investigation.

Peterson has not been charged with any crime and steadfastly has denied any involvement with either his third wife's death or his fourth wife's disappearance.

Missing Wife of Ex-Cop Drew Peterson Sought Advice From Divorce Attorney

Friday, March 07, 2008
CHICAGO —  The missing 23-year-old wife of a former police sergeant contacted a divorce attorney a few days before her disappearance for help to end her marriage.

Stacy Peterson was reported missing on Oct. 28 after she failed to show up a friend's house. Drew Peterson, her husband, is a suspect in her disappearance. He maintains his innocence and denies wrongdoing.

Harry Smith, a divorce attorney, told FOX News that Stacy contacted him twice the week before she disappeared.

"I did not put any specific significance on her mental demeanor when I spoke to her," Smith said. "I don't remember her being overly emotional or anxious or any of those things."

Smith was also the divorce attorney for Drew Peterson's third ex-wife, Kathleen Savio.

Friends of missing mom Stacy Peterson have called for the boycott of a local tavern if they let her husband inside.

"Everybody stop going there," the Petersons' next-door neighbor, Sharon Bychowski, said of the Bolingbrook bar Tailgaters.

Peterson has spent a good deal of time in Tailgaters, said Bychowski, a member of the board of the the Friends of Stacy Peterson group.

Bychowski's son Roy Taylor, who also is a member of the group, explained the plan for a "peaceful boycott."

"We would ask the public that does frequent Tailgaters, if this man does come into the establishment, please take your business elsewhere," Taylor said.

The owner of Tailgaters, Bob Zalewski, was doubtful there would be any cause for protest at his business. "I don't think Drew's going to be coming in for a while," he said.

But Peterson said he would not be stopped by any boycott: "Like that would bother me. They're not going to change anything that I do."

Stacy Peterson, Drew Peterson's fourth wife, vanished Oct. 28. State Police labeled her disappearance a "potential homicide" and named Peterson a suspect.

Peterson Can Get Seized Cars Back Tuesday
Judge Holds Off On Ruling What To Do With Former Cop's Guns
JOLIET, Ill. (AP) ― Drew Peterson entered a courtroom for the first time since being named a suspect in his wife's disappearance, emerging with a judge's order that cars and computers seized by authorities be returned to him.

Under Will County Richard Schoenstedt's order, the former Bolingbrook police sergeant can pick up his GMC Yukon Denali and Pontiac Grand Prix on Tuesday, and he can get his computers along with copies of the hard drives within 15 days.

The judge, however, said he needs more time to consider a request from Peterson attorney Joel Brodsky, who suggested weapons taken from the retired police officer be given to Peterson's son, who is a police officer.

"Drew is very pleased that he's getting his property back," Brodsky said after the hearing. "The judge has reviewed secret testimony of the state, he looked at the affidavits, and still found there was no compelling reason for the state to retain the property any longer."

Dressed in a dark suit, Peterson said little in court, answering "yes your honor" to a number of judge's questions.

During the brief hearing, Peterson also agreed not to challenge the validity of more than 200 digital photographs of his cars and other property.

Schoenstedt said last month that would be a condition of returning the items.

Peterson left the courthouse as he came -- through a basement rather through the front door -- because, as his attorney explained, he has received death threats. But he appeared relaxed in court and when he left in a car.

He did not answer questions from reporters.

Stacy Peterson vanished in October, and authorities have reopened the investigation into the 2004 death of Kathleen Savio, who was another one of Drew Peterson's wives.

Peterson -- who, until Monday, had not set foot in a courtroom in either case -- has denied involvement in his wife's disappearance or in Savio's death and has not been charged in either case.

Peterson may have moved a step closer to getting his 11 guns back when Brodsky proposed they be held by his adult son while Peterson appeals the revocation of his Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) Card. In Illinois, a valid FOID card is needed to possess guns.

But Judge Schoenstedt balked at the proposal, saying he does not have jurisdiction over Peterson's son and wants to ensure any order he issues can be enforced. Brodsky said Peterson's son would be willing to appear in court and agree to abide by the judge's order.

Schoenstedt set a March 25 hearing date on the matter.

Also Monday, Brodsky said he was headed to probate court to file an objection to a petition by Savio's family to reopen the woman's estate. Brodsky said he will argue that the statue ran out 2 years ago.

Volunteers to Renew Search for Stacy PetersonNAPERVILLE, Ill. (Naperville Sun) ― A group dedicated to uncovering the mystery of where Stacy Peterson went is preparing to resume its volunteer effort to find the missing mother.

"We can't wait to get out and find Stacy," said Sharon Bychowski, a member of the board of directors for the group the Friends of Stacy Peterson.

Bychowski's son, Roy Taylor, met with the state police Friday.

"The Illinois State Police are more than willing to work with us," Taylor said. "They will be communicating with the searches for Stacy Peterson and utilizing our resources."

Peterson disappeared Oct. 28. State police consider her disappearance a "potential homicide" and named her husband, Drew Peterson, a suspect in the case. Drew Peterson has not participated in the volunteer searches.

Taylor said he hopes to begin the searches next weekend, weather permitting, and that he "will try to release information (on upcoming searches) early every week until we find her or the season ends."

Restraining Order For Peterson's Neighbor Denied
Woman Says Peterson Won't Return Her Garage Door Opener

POSTED: 7:42 am CDT March 19, 2008
UPDATED: 2:24 pm CDT March 20, 2008

BOLINGBROOK, Ill. -- Drew Peterson's trouble with his neighbor was diverted after a restraining order was denied.

His next-door neighbor, Sharon Bychowski told NBC5 she tried to file an order of protection against him, but it was refused by police because it did not meet the criteria.

The recent controversy follows the return of two cars to Peterson that were impounded by police investigating the disappearance of his wife, Stacy.

Bychowski said her garage door opener was in Stacy Peterson's car and that, as Drew Peterson was checking different openers on Tuesday, he opened her garage.

She said when she demanded the opener back, he refused. Bychowski said she now plans to install security cameras in her home.

Peterson's attorney says he never meant to scare Bychowski.

Peterson's Mother Brought Before Grand Jury
Husband Of Missing Woman Says Subpoena Meant To Irritate Him

POSTED: 7:14 am CDT March 21, 2008
UPDATED: 7:34 am CDT March 21, 2008

WHEATON, Ill. -- Drew Peterson's mother and stepfather appeared before a grand jury Thursday in what the embattled ex-police officer believes was nothing more than an attempt to irritate him.

Peterson's mother, Betty Morphey, and stepfather, Albert Morphey, would not discuss their testimony.

 http://www.nbc5.com/news/15662145/detail.html
 
 


“You guys are vultures," Al Morphey hissed when questioned about his grand jury appearance.

He also claimed to have "no idea" where his stepson's missing wife might be.

The wife, Stacy Peterson, is Drew Peterson's fourth and has been missing since Oct. 28.

His third wife, Kathleen Savio, was the victim of an unsolved 2004 killing that state police at first figured was an accidental bathtub drowning.

The state police have determined Stacy Peterson's disappearance is a "potential homicide" and named Drew Peterson a suspect in the case.

But even if police think Stacy might be dead, her mother-in-law is optimistic the young woman might return.

"We hope so," said Betty Morphey as she and her husband walked to their car in a downtown lot.

She later asked a photographer for the pictures he was taking of her. 


"We want 10 copies of each," she said. "We didn't do nothing."

Drew Peterson accused the authorities of subpoenaing his mother and stepfather just to bother him.

"No other reason," he said. "Why else would you pick on a couple of old people like that?"

If that is the agenda of the police and prosecutors, it is working.

"It does upset me," Peterson said.

After appearing before the grand jury, Albert Morphey denied speaking about Stacy or where she might be with his stepson.

Albert Morphey is the father of Thomas Morphey, Drew Peterson's stepbrother and the man who supposedly helped him move a warm blue barrel from his bedroom to his GMC Denali hours after Stacy was last seen alive.

Albert Morphey refused to talk about what role his son Thomas may have played in Stacy's disappearance.

Search Resumes for Missing Mom Stacy Peterson
Saturday , March 29, 2008


BOLINGBROOK, Ill. —

After a winter hiatus, more than 50 volunteers resumed their ground search Saturday for a suburban Chicago mother who went missing last fall.

Searchers gathered in Bolingbrook, where Stacy Peterson was last seen in late October.

"Right now we're looking for a body," said Cassandra Cales, Peterson's younger sister. "We're looking for grave sites ... anything."

Investigators are treating the case as a possible homicide and have named Peterson's husband, former Bolingbrook police officer Drew Peterson, as a suspect. A grand jury is looking into both her disappearance and the death of his ex-wife, Kathleen Savio.

Drew Peterson, who hasn't been charged and denies any wrongdoing in both cases, has said Stacy left him for another man. A message left for Drew Peterson's attorney Saturday evening was not returned.

The search was set to continue on Sunday and then every following weekend, as long as enough funds are available to cover fuel and other expenses, organizers said.

"As long as it takes — that's our new motto," said Roy Taylor, a search organizer. "We will find Stacy."

Bid to change hearsay rule could affect Peterson case
 

A Will County state senator has filed a measure that, if passed, could influence the type of evidence allowed in a possible prosecution of Drew Peterson.

Sen. A.J. Wilhelmi (D-Joliet) has offered an amendment to the state's code of criminal procedure, backed by State's Atty. James Glasgow, that would allow hearsay testimony if the witness who made the statements was not available to testify in person because the defendant had a hand in that person's absence.

Neither Wilhelmi nor Glasgow's office would comment on whether the measure was inspired by the Peterson case, but the senator said the state's attorney requested the amendment earlier this year. Glasgow's office has been immersed in the investigation with a special grand jury since late last year.

Under the proposal, if prosecutors can convince a judge that the defendant, for example, bribed, threatened or killed a witness to prevent testimony, the judge could allow the statements the witness made to others to be heard in court.

"By closing this loophole, if you will, we can allow prosecutors to bring those statements into court and make sure those criminals are brought to justice," Wilhelmi said.

Peterson, 54, is a former Bolingbrook police sergeant who is a suspect in the Oct. 28 disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy, then 23. Authorities labeled her case a potential homicide, and the investigation led them to re-examine the death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, 40. She was found dead in 2004 in an empty bathtub, and her death, initially ruled an accident, was said by Glasgow in February to have been a homicide.

Friends and families of Stacy Peterson and Savio said the women told them that Peterson had made repeated threats and that they had feared for their lives. Stacy's pastor, Neil Schori, has said she confided to him that Peterson killed Savio.

Charles Pelkie, a spokesman for Glasgow, declined to comment on specific cases the proposed legislation would apply to, but said Glasgow backed the measure.

"We hope to utilize this law in the future, and we fully expect prosecutors will use it to enter evidence into trials, evidence that was previously not available to them," Pelkie said. "This amendment makes sense. Criminal defendants have been able to profit from their illegal acts, and what we're trying to do is ensure that these statements are admissible so they can't escape justice through additional criminal actions."

But Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, said the amendment would have no bearing on his client if he is ever charged in connection with either Savio's death or his wife's disappearance.

"You can't change the law to get somebody, especially when it has to do with a fundamental constitutional right," Brodsky said.

Opponents of admissible hearsay argue that it goes against the 6th Amendment, which says, "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right...to be confronted with the witnesses against him." In 2004, the Supreme Court ruled that hearsay evidence generally cannot be used at trial, repealing more lax interpretations of the rule.

Next week, the U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to take up the issue again when it hears arguments about a California law that allowed a police officer's testimony to be admitted into the trial of Dwayne Giles, a Los Angeles man convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend, Brenda Avie. The police officer testified Avie told him Giles had threatened to kill her.

With a high court ruling inevitable, Steve Baker, a legislative liaison for the Illinois Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and a member of the criminal justice section counsel for the Illinois State Bar Association, wants to know what the hurry is in Illinois.

Until the court rules, "both sides are playing in the mud," he said.

Stepbrother in Peterson case defended by family member
 
Spurred by the most recent national TV appearance in which Drew Peterson sought to discredit a stepbrother who said he and Peterson moved a large container the night Peterson's wife vanished, the man's brother said the public needs to know what's really happening.

Tom Morphey, Peterson's stepbrother, has put his life on hold, spending nearly six months in seclusion, as he tries to help authorities investigating the disappearance of the former Bolingbrook police sergeant's wife, said his brother John.

"Tom's not a whack job," John Morphey said in his first public interview. "It just kills me to see and hear this stuff about him. Drew says [Tom's] a liar, but Tom was coming forward with his story to me and to other people before Stacy was even reported missing."

Tom Morphey, 40, has been in protective custody. His brother, 41, said Drew Peterson enlisted Tom's help to remove a large blue container from the Peterson home Oct. 28, the night Stacy, then 23, vanished.

Authorities have called her disappearance a possible homicide and Peterson a suspect. But Peterson, 54, who has not been charged, says his wife left for another man. Peterson has downplayed Tom Morphey's account, saying he has a drinking problem and struggles with mental illness.

"I really don't want to bad-mouth Tommy," he said Friday night in an interview with CNN's Larry King. "He has some serious emotional issues. He was losing his house, losing his wife. He had a drinking problem. He had a suicidal problem. So I really -- and he is a family member -- so I really don't want to bad-mouth him here."

John Morphey said his brother told him substantially the same story that he told his friend and neighbor, Walter Martineck, who went public with his account in December.

John Morphey said his brother told him that he met Drew at a coffee shop near Peterson's home on the night of Oct. 28. They talked awhile, then Peterson drove Tom Morphey to a nearby park and left him with a cell phone and instructions not to answer if it rang, his brother said. Peterson drove off. After awhile, the phone rang, and the name "Stacy" appeared on the caller ID, Morphey said.

"I believe he set my brother up with that phone call," John Morphey said.

When Peterson returned, the two men reportedly went to his house and moved the container from the home to the back of Peterson's 2005 GMC Yukon. John Morphey said his brother told him Peterson seemed very nervous as he drove him back to his home, a few minutes away in Bolingbrook.

The following evening, Tom attempted suicide, John Morphey said.

"I was on the phone that night when my brother swallowed those pills," he said. "He told me, 'That's it, I'm done. I'm taking a bunch of pills. [Peterson] is going to get me anyway.'

"He said that he thought he may have inadvertently helped dispose of Stacy's body," John Morphey said. "I couldn't believe what I was hearing."

John Morphey said he quickly hung up the phone and called 911, and paramedics took his brother to a hospital for treatment.

Morphey noted that for almost six months he has not spoken about Peterson or his brother, but after testifying for two hours Thursday before a special grand jury investigating Stacy's disappearance -- and after seeing Peterson's CNN interview -- he wanted to counter what he said is an inaccurate portrait of his brother.

Morphey acknowledged his brother struggled with alcoholism and manic depression but said he quit drinking after completing a six-month rehabilitation program in the mid-1990s and began taking medicine for depression.

"He became this totally different person. He became a different Tom, a Tom I'm proud of," John Morphey said. "He has a past, like anybody, but for the past 10 years or so, he's been a responsible citizen, taking care of [his longtime girlfriend's] three boys, showing them right from wrong."

John Morphey said he believes Peterson reached out to Tom for help because he has always been too trusting and loyal. "He doesn't say no to people, even when he should," John Morphey said. "He's loyal to a fault. Put it this way: His sophomore year of high school, he was playing football [at Hinsdale South High School] and one of the guys on his team picked up the ball and ran the wrong way. Tom blocked for him."

For his part, John Morphey said he supports the search efforts led by Stacy Peterson's sister, Cassandra Cales, and Roy Taylor, the son of Drew Peterson's neighbor.

"Cassandra and Roy are heroes," he said. "I'm behind them 100 percent."

He recently let searchers use a boat he and Tom, both avid fishermen, restored together. Embedded in the varnish is a picture of John and his brother as young kids, holding up fish they'd caught.

"We are very happy that we have his support in finding Stacy," said Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for Stacy Peterson's relatives. "I think it makes a big statement on the case, and backs up what we've been saying all along."

Peterson's neighbor, Sharon Bychowski, said John Morphey called several weeks ago.

"He said, 'I would like to offer you my boat.' It's been used pretty much every day this week," she said.

Morphey said he believes his brother will be "thrilled" to know the boat is being used to help find Stacy.

"The boat's a lot like my brother. When we got it, people didn't think it could ever amount to anything, and now it's being used for such an honorable purpose as this."

22-year-old defends Peterson relationship
May 16, 2008
By JOE HOSEY  The Herald News
BOLINGBROOK — The latest lady in Drew Peterson’s life - a 22-year-old he rescued from a Naperville traffic stop last week - is keeping an open mind about her older male “friend.”
“I’ve always been the kind of person, I’m not going to judge someone,” said the young woman, who asked that she not be identified.
The woman said she met Peterson about three weeks ago through their mutual friend, Steve Carcerano, who tans at the salon where she works. Since then, they have spoken often and she has spent the night at his home - but nothing physical took place, she said. Peterson did not seem so sure about that.
“Never ‘nothing’ physical,” Peterson said enigmatically.
The woman lives with her mother, who must not have approved of whatever was going on between the 54-year-old, four-times-married Peterson and the woman 32 years his junior.
“My mom called the police,” she said.
State police have identified Peterson as a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife, 24-year-old Stacy Peterson. They have classified the case a “potential homicide,” and also are investigating the March 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, which was recently deemed a homicide.
The young friend of Peterson said a state police investigator gave her an earful about what he thinks of Peterson’s involvement in the disappearance of Stacy and the death of Kathleen.
“They’re like, ‘We’re 100 percent positive he killed them. His family thinks he killed them. You’re going to be next,’” she said. “And I’m like, ‘Then why isn’t he in jail?’”
When pressed about the nature of their relationship, Peterson said, “No comment,” and added “She has parents to be concerned with.”
The woman, a Benet Academy graduate, said her relationship with Peterson has caused her some grief.
“It sucks,” she said, “because I’m not a hooker.”
Apparently, Peterson is worth the hassle.
“He’s just a nice guy,” she said. “He’s been nothing but nice to me.”

Stacy Peterson Web site drops forum
 
BOLINGBROOK 
 
Administrators of findstacypeterson.com have shut down the active forum on the Web site dedicated to the missing Bolingbrook mother, saying the site will now be used only for updates, searches and events.

Site administrators felt the forum had run its course, said Sharon Bychowski, a friend and neighbor of Stacy Peterson. She said Tuesday that many of the recent discussions were not about searching for Stacy, but rather other topics, such as a post from someone selling Girl Scout cookies.

The Web site started shortly after Peterson vanished Oct. 28. It once boasted at least 1,600 registered users from as far away as Australia who posted thousands of messages about her disappearance, although in recent months that activity has slowed.

Report: Drew Peterson To Surrender On Gun Charge
BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) ― Drew Peterson plans to turn himself in to police on a gun charge, his publicist said.

Glenn Selig says the charge involves a gun seized after his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, disappeared in October. He says police claim the gun was too short under Illinois law.

Peterson has been fighting a ruling that he cannot have his guns returned.

Stacy Peterson has not been seen since Oct. 28, 2007. Illinois State Police said several months ago they suspect she is dead and have called Drew Peterson a suspect in her disappearance.

But Peterson has long contended his wife left him for another man. His attorney has said perhaps Stacy Peterson just did not want to be tied down to an older man and four children anymore.

Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, was found dead in a dry bathtub four years ago, in what was initially ruled to be an accidental drowning. But Savio's body was exhumed in November of last year and her death was ruled a homicide.

Drew Peterson has not been charged with any crime in either case.

Boat to aid in search for Stacy Peterson
 
BOLINGBROOK 
 

A boat to help search for a missing Bolingbrook mother will be unveiled Saturday by the group Friends of Stacy Peterson.

The boat, called the "Stacy Ann," was bought by the organization through fundraisers in honor of Peterson, the 23-year-old woman who disappeared last year. The boat will be used on local waterways to search for any sign of the missing woman, according to a news release from the group.

The unveiling ceremony will take place at noon Saturday at Mugz's Hideout, 24045 W. Front St., Channahon.

'Stacy Ann' deployed in water search for Stacy Peterson
By Erika Slife | Tribune reporter
1:08 PM CDT, May 26, 2008


Searchers continued their efforts Monday in the hunt for missing Bolingbrook mother Stacy Peterson.

Approximately 10 people searched by land and water near 135th Street and the Illinois & Michigan Canal in Romeoville for evidence related to the Peterson's disappearance.

Peterson was 23 when she vanished Oct. 28. Police have named her husband, Drew, 54, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant, a suspect in the case. He has not been charged in the case and denies any wrongdoing.

"It's been a long couple of weekends," said Roy Taylor, one of the lead organizers of the searches. "We do feel we will find her. We still feel that."

Volunteers on Saturday unveiled a new boat called the "Stacy Ann" bought by money raised through fundraisers dedicated to the missing woman. The boat will be used on local waterways to search for possible evidence and to clear out the scores of barrels dumped in the water.

Already, searches have removed more than 40 barrels, Taylor said.

Searchers have been looking for a blue plastic barrel and similar containers after a non-profit search group told them to do so at the behest of state police.

Drew's 22-yr.-old ex-gal pal; Says cops warned her: 'You're going to be next'


She was seeing a 54-year-old ex-cop under suspicion in the death of one wife and the disappearance of another.

So when State Police investigators recently questioned 22-year-old tanning salon worker Kim Matuska, they wanted to make sure she had no illusions about her future with Drew Peterson.

"They're like, 'We're 100 percent positive he killed them. His family thinks he killed them. You're going to be next,' " Matuska said earlier this month. "And I'm like, 'Then why isn't he in jail?'

Matuska appeared Thursday before the Will County grand jury investigating the disappearance of Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, and the 2004 bathtub drowning of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

The Darien woman had little to say as she left, but told reporters that she's no longer involved with Peterson.

"We're done," she said.

Peterson blamed media and police scrutiny of the young woman for sinking their budding relationship. And he's pessimistic about future romance.

"I don't think I could get laid in a women's prison with a handful of pardons," he said Thursday.

Aunt: Stacy Peterson 'wanted out'
 
After hours of testimony before a Will County special grand jury investigating the disappearance of her niece Stacy Peterson, Candace Aikin emerged from the courthouse Thursday fighting her emotions.

"I'm glad I was able to tell them just how much I love Stacy and what a great person and a great mother she was, and to be of any help to the investigation," said Aikin, her eyes red from crying.

Thursday was Aikin's first appearance before the grand jury, which for months has been probing the Bolingbrook woman's Oct. 28 disappearance. Authorities have called her husband, Drew Peterson, 54, a suspect in the case, and police also are conducting a murder investigation into the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

Peterson has not been charged and denies wrongdoing.

The grand jury also heard from 22-year-old Kimberly Matuska of Darien, who declined to discuss her testimony afterward and denied a law-enforcement source's contention that she and Peterson had a relationship.

"I can't talk about it," she said while leaving the courthouse. "I'm not seeing Drew."

Aikin, 48, of California said her testimony centered on her relationship with her niece, who was 23 when she vanished, and what she knew of their marriage.

"She wanted out, basically," Aikin said. "In August of 2007 was when she was getting more serious about it."

Aikin said her niece talked of leaving the relationship since early in the marriage, but that "it just escalated more in August. There was so much pressure. Fear too."

Aikin said she was able to visit her niece's young children Tuesday.

"I went to the house, and [Drew] made dinner," Aikin said. "It was hard, but I think I did better than I thought I would. [Stacy's son] pointed to a picture of Stacy and said, 'That's my mommy.' It was very cute. Drew said he wanted me to be comfortable, and I said, 'Well, I just want everyone here to be comfortable with me.'"

She said she hoped to be able to visit with Stacy's children again before heading home, but said she was concerned that, when Peterson learns of her appearance at the grand jury, he'll prevent her from seeing the children.

"He said I can [visit again], but he doesn't know about today," she said. "I might get banned."

Matuska, who testified after Aikin, said little about her involvement with Peterson.

"I'm just trying to get out of this," she said, rushing away from reporters.

A law-enforcement source told the Tribune that Matuska began a relationship after meeting Peterson on April 25 at a Bolingbrook bar through their mutual friend, Steve Carcerano.

Matuska told police that they continued to see each other on several occasions over the next several weeks, during which Peterson began frequenting the tanning salon where she works, and bought a tanning package, the source said.

The source said Matuska told investigators Peterson gave her a cell phone, which she showed to police. Investigators found the phone was equipped with a GPS function, but the source said it was unclear whether Matuska knew about that feature.

She also said she met Peterson's children, and that at one point he told her he loved her and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, the source said.

Peterson sounded disgusted to learn Matuska was the target of a barrage of media coverage Thursday.

"We're no longer seeing each other," he said. "This was too much for her. ... What would you do if we had drinks and moments alone together and everybody was giving you a hard time? It's bad enough I'm much older than she is. Just leave the poor girl alone."

Peterson will likely face his own media barrage Friday, when he is slated to appear in court on a charge of unlawful use of a weapon.

Last week, he was charged with possessing an assault rifle with a barrel nearly 5 inches shorter than allowed by law.

Attorney Joel Brodsky said he planned to file a motion to dismiss the charge, saying his client -- who turned over the weapon after authorities seized the rest of his firearms -- owned the gun while he was a police officer.

Peterson's publicist Wednesday released a photo of Peterson allegedly holding the weapon while on police duty in 2000 as an apparent bodyguard for actor John Travolta, who was in town to promote a film. Brodsky said the photo "proves" that Bolingbrook police officials knew Peterson possessed the weapon.

Authorities dismissed the photo as having no bearing on the case.

"The photograph is irrelevant," said Charles Pelkie, a spokesman for Will County State's Atty. James Glasgow.

Bathtub taken as Peterson evidence;
3rd wife was found dead there in 2004
 
Investigators probing the death of Drew Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, now possess the bathtub in which her body was found.

One of the current homeowners told the Tribune on Friday that state police came to take the tub last week, but declined to comment further. A spokesman for the Will County state's attorney's office confirmed her information and said the tub was in storage.

"The state police removed the bathtub from the home where Kathleen Savio was found dead," said spokesman Charles Pelkie. "It's our belief that the tub will be a key piece of evidence in the prosecution of this case when charges are filed."

On March 1, 2004, Savio, 40, was found dead in an empty bathtub weeks before her divorce from Peterson was finalized.

An autopsy determined she drowned, and a coroner's jury later ruled the death was accidental.

Savio's case was reopened in November as authorities investigated the Oct. 28 disappearance of Peterson's wife, Stacy, from their Bolingbrook home.

In February, State's Atty. James Glasgow called the Savio inquiry a murder investigation after a second autopsy concluded her death was a homicide.

Police have called Peterson a suspect in Stacy's disappearance. The former police sergeant denies involvement in either case.

On Friday, he made his first court appearance on a felony gun charge that came as a result of search warrants executed in the Stacy Peterson case. Authorities allege that the barrel of an assault rifle owned by Peterson is nearly 5 inches shorter than allowed by state law and charged him last week with unlawful use of a weapon.

His attorney, Joel Brodsky, filed a motion seeking dismissal of the charge, alleging federal law authorized Peterson to carry the weapon and that he was authorized by Bolingbrook to use the gun as a duty weapon.

"I don't know if they were aware of the federal statute or not. If they were, it's surprising that they would have brought this case," Brodsky said after the hearing. "But even if there wasn't a federal statute, under Illinois law, Drew is immune because barrel lengths don't apply to officers' duty weapons."

Glasgow's office says the gun was privately owned by Peterson, and Bolingbrook police denied any knowledge of the weapon.

"Peterson has not been charged with a violation of any law involving the concealment of a handgun," said Pelkie, adding the federal statute has no bearing on the charge filed. "At the time his weapon was seized, Peterson did not have an exemption to own and carry a rifle with an illegal barrel, either for his personal use or in his official capacity as a police officer."

Looking well-tanned, the normally media-friendly Peterson left the courthouse without comment to reporters. Thursday, a 22-year-old tanning salon employee testified before a grand jury about her involvement with Peterson.

Drew Peterson's attorneys file motion to dismiss weapons charge

2:35 PM CDT, May 30, 2008
Attorneys for Drew Peterson filed a motion in Will County Court on Friday to dismiss the felony unlawful use of a weapon charge filed last week against the former Bolingbrook police sergeant, saying that as a police officer he was exempt from the state's weapon laws.

Will County Judge Sarah Jones gave the state 14 days to respond. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for June 30.

Friday marked Peterson's first court appearance since his arrest last week. Authorities said the charge stemmed from Peterson's ownership of an assault rifle with a barrel nearly five inches shorter than allowed by law.

Peterson and his attorneys, Joel Brodsky and Andrew Abood, claim the gun was registered with the Bolingbrook police for Peterson's use as a member of the department's SWAT team. But the Will County State's attorney's office contends the gun was privately owned by Peterson, and Bolingbrook police officials have said the department had no knowledge of the weapon.

In November, state police investigators probing the Oct. 28 disappearance of Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, seized his vehicles, computers and 11 firearms from the couples' Bolingbrook home, including the weapon at the center of the felony case, a Colt model Sporter Lightweight, 223 Remington rifle.

Peterson, who has been named a suspect in his wife's disappearance, retired from the department in mid-November after a 30-year career. Authorities are also re-examining the mysterious 2004 drowning death of Peterson's ex-wife, Kathleen Savio. In February, Will County State's Atty. James Glasgow declared her death a homicide.

Peterson has steadfastly denied any involvement in his wife's disappearance or in Savio's death, and has not been charged in connection with either investigation.

The state also has two weeks to respond to a motion by Peterson's attorneys to modify their client's bond, to allow him to leave Illinois while out on bail. The state will also have a chance to respond to subpoenas Peterson's attorney issued to the Bolingbrook Police Department seeking their client's weapon records.

Police Seize Bathtub Where Drew Peterson's Third Wife Was Found Dead
Monday , June 02, 2008

 JOLIET, Ill. —

Detectives investigating the death of Drew Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, now possess the bathtub in which her body was found back in 2004.

One of the people who now live in the home where Savio died told the Chicago Tribune that state police removed the tub last week. A spokesman for the Will County state's attorney's office confirmed that the tub had been removed and is in storage.

Savio drowned in the tub only weeks before her divorce from Peterson was finalized. Her death was first ruled accidental, but has since been ruled homicidal.

Savio's case was reopened in November as authorities investigated the Oct. 28 disappearance of Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, from their Bolingbrook home.

Drew Peterson: Someone's Spying On Me
His Neighbor Has Surveillance Cameras Surrounding Her Home

BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (STNG) ― Drew Peterson feels like someone's watching him, and he doesn't like it one bit.

Peterson discovered his next-door neighbor, Sharon Bychowski, has surveillance cameras mounted on her home, cameras he claims are trained on his front yard and on his backyard swimming pool.

"I think Sharon wants to see me naked," Peterson said. He then laughed.

Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, did not find the matter quite as amusing.

"How would you feel if the State Police had video surveillance of your front yard?" Brodsky said, accusing the cops of putting the cameras on Bychowski's house. State Police did not return calls for comment, but Bychowski says the cameras are all hers.

"No. They're mine," she said. "Tell [Brodsky] I said, 'Bite me.'"

Bychowski said she installed the cameras out of fear of Peterson after he got a hold of a remote opener for her garage door in March.

"Since he felt the need to open my garage door, I need to protect myself," she said.

Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, has been missing since October. State Police have called her case a "potential homicide" and named Peterson their sole suspect.

State Police also are revisiting the mysterious March 2004 apparent bathtub drowning of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio. After considering Savio's death an accident for more than three years, authorities did an abrupt about face and declared it was a homicide in the wake of Stacy's disappearance.

Peterson believes the police are watching him, just as they have been watching Plainfield's Craig Stebic, whose wife, Lisa, has been missing six months longer than Stacy.

"I hear the State Police have them on Stebic's house," he said. "Why should I be any different?"

Plainfield police Chief Donald Bennett said last summer that the surveillance camera was installed on a light pole near Stebic's home as part of a village-wide enforcement project based on neighborhood concern about criminal activity.

Brodsky does not believe Bychowski.

"I really don't," he said. "Maybe she doesn't want Drew to know the state police are watching him."

Regardless of whether the cops or Bychowski put the cameras up, Brodsky is intent on having them turned away from his client's home. If it is the police, he questioned the constitutionality of surveilling Peterson. If the cameras do indeed belong to Bychowski, he said, then his client is the victim of a "clear-cut invasion of privacy."

"The first thing we have to do is figure out who's doing it. I'm not taking [Bychowski's] word for it," Brodsky said. "If it turns out it is her, I'll take action. I promise you."

There was a search this weekend:

Volunteer Land Search - Saturday June 21, & Sunday June 22, 2008
Volunteer land searches will continue, please meet at the Aquatic Center at 8:30am.
Please remember to wear footwear for muddy and rocky terrain. Tennis shoes NOT recommended! Boots or hiking footwear for your own safety!

Please meet at:
Bolingbrook Aquatic Center - Click here for Map
200 Lindsey Lane
Bolingbrook, IL 60440
Time: 8:30AM

NOTICE: NEW TIME - 8:30am this weekend. Thank you!

*** PLEASE HELP ***
We are in need of a ROV (remote operated vehicle). If we can confirm images that we are looking at, we could clear areas of the rivers and canal much faster. Sonar allows us to see what is at the bottom, but the ROV would allow us to confirm what the sonar is reporting.

Time is of the essence in our search for Stacy, a ROV would allow us to clear images remotely instead of having to send divers down on every image of suspicion, allowing us to be more time efficient and be more accurate before we send divers down in the dangerous water. Safety for divers is key; the Illinois & Michigan Canal is a very dangerous waterway and is not to be taken lightly. Only sending divers down on confirmed images is the safest.

We are requesting assistance in finding and acquiring a ROV for Team Watters to help us clear the images from the sonar. If you would like to donate/lend a ROV for Team Watters to use please contact Roy immediately at: roy@findstacypeterson.com.

We also would like to help Team Watters acquire a ROV for permanent use in the search for Stacy and help with other families with missing loved ones. Please visit the Team Watters website (www.teamwatterssonar.com) for more information about them and to donate to them directly. They are attempting to raise funds to purchase their own ROV.

Thank you for your assistance!

Stacy Peterson allies buoyed by bill on hearsay testimony
Bill to ease limits on hearsay testimony sent to Blagojevich


By Erika Slife | Chicago Tribune reporter
    11:54 PM CDT, July 10, 2008

Friends and family of missing Bolingbrook woman Stacy Peterson rejoiced after state lawmakers Thursday sent to the governor's desk legislation that could affect the possible prosecution of the chief suspect in her disappearance, her husband, Drew.

"It's a good Stacy day today," said her close friend Sharon Bychowski. "Now Stacy's life has more meaning than it did."

Sen. A.J. Wilhelmi (D- Joliet) sponsored a measure—which was pushed by Will County State's Atty. James Glasgow—that would allow a judge to decide at a pretrial hearing whether hearsay testimony could be admitted into court.

The prosecution would have to prove to the judge that the witness who made the statements could not testify because the defendant murdered the witness. (more)

Drew's 2nd son testifies
GRAND JURY | Teen says he told truth despite 'headache'

Prosecutors pulled Drew Peterson's second teenage son in front of the grand jury Thursday, and the experience left the youth feeling sick.

"I've got a headache," Peterson's 13-year-old son, Kristopher, said upon returning home from his long appearance before the grand jury. When asked by his father if he told the truth at the hearing, Kristopher nodded.


Two weeks earlier, Kristopher's 15-year-old brother, Thomas, was called before the same grand jury investigating the 2004 death of their mother, Kathleen Savio, and the October disappearance of their stepmother, Stacy Peterson. (more)

Drew Peterson's lawyers end effort to block wrongful-death suit in Savio case
Drew Peterson's lawyers withdraw motion to halt case


By Erika Slife | Chicago Tribune reporter
    11:49 PM CDT, July 17, 2008
Lawyers representing the estate of Drew Peterson's third wife are now free to file a wrongful-death lawsuit against Peterson after his attorneys withdrew a motion Thursday that sought to block them.

But attorneys for Kathleen Savio's estate said that a wrongful-death lawsuit against the former Bolingbrook police sergeant likely won't be initiated until after the grand jury investigating Savio's death was discharged.

"That's something we'll have to look at," said John Q. Kelly, a New York attorney representing the Savio family. Kelly was the lawyer for Nicole Brown Simpson's family in a successful civil suit against O.J. Simpson.

"We still have to wait for some finality from the current grand jury investigation," Kelly said.
he special grand jury in Will County is investigating the mysterious circumstances surrounding Savio's death in 2004, as well as the Oct. 28 disappearance of Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, then 23.

Savio, 40, was found dead in an empty bathtub in her Bolingbrook home. Her divorce to Peterson was only weeks away from being finalized.

Although her death initially was ruled an accident, authorities in February reclassified it as murder after a second autopsy was conducted after Stacy Peterson disappeared.

In February, Savio's relatives filed a petition to reopen her estate in preparation for a wrongful-death lawsuit against Peterson, 54. In April, Will County Judge Carmen Goodman granted their request and named Savio's father and sister as new executors of her estate, replacing Drew Peterson's uncle.

Attorneys for Peterson, who has not been charged and denies any wrongdoing in either case, promptly appealed Goodman's ruling.

Joel Brodsky, one of Peterson's attorneys, said he withdrew his motion to delay the court proceedings to reopen Savio's estate because he expects the Illinois Appellate Court to make its decision in the next couple of months.

And besides, he said, if Savio's attorneys file a wrongful-death lawsuit, he'll have subpoena powers to interview grand jury witnesses.

SEARCHING FOR STACY | Drew's chilling words caught on tape

July 23, 2008
BY JOE HOSEY Sun-Times News Group
Drew Peterson likes to talk an awful lot — especially for a guy whose third wife was murdered and fourth wife is missing.

And now two of his closest friends say they caught it all, cooperating with State Police by wearing a wire and recording seven months of intimate conversations with the former Bolingbrook cop.


Paula Stark and Len Wawczak (right) wore a wire during conversations with their former friend Drew Peterson, who trusted them so much he asked them to stash a .22 caliber folding revolver (inset) after his FOID card was revoked.
(Rich Hein/Sun-Times)

Peterson mocked investigators as “idiots,” called his third wife “a bitch” whose body he should have had cremated and predicted he’d be tried and acquitted long before his fourth wife’s remains were found, Wawczak said.

Wawczak, 42, said he and his wife, Paula Stark, 38, have known Peterson for about 16 years, a friendship that began over drinks at a Bolingbrook watering hole , included talk of going into business together flipping homes and became so close that Peterson trusted the couple to watch his children.

But a few weeks after Stacy Peterson disappeared last year, the couple began to have suspicions about their longtime friend. Partly because of a tragedy in his own past, Wawczak said he had no reservations about turning informant for the police, but his wife was afraid.

“I talked her into it,” Wawczak said.

And the next seven months would have plenty of nerve-wracking moments, the couple said, including requests from Peterson that they prove their loyalty and worries that a hug could reveal their subterfuge.

‘A bunch of f------ idiots’
Early in their friendship, Wawczak says he heard Peterson complaining about his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

In 2004, about 12 years into Wawczak’s friendship with Peterson, Savio was found dead in a waterless bathtub, and State Police determined she was the victim of an accidental drowning.

Stark said at the time Peterson mocked the cops investigating the drowning, saying, “‘She was in a dry bathtub, what a bunch of f------ idiots.’”

Then, Peterson’s fourth wife, Stacy, vanished in October, sparking officials to exhume Savio’s body and declare her death a homicide.

Wawczak recalled Peterson telling them, “‘I should have had that bitch cremated. It would have cost me less and I wouldn’t be going through this trouble.’”

Peterson has been named a suspect in Stacy Peterson’s disappearance, which police have labeled a “potential homicide.” Peterson has publicly said he had nothing to do with the fate of either of his wives.

And privately, he didn’t sound nervous, Wawczak said.

“He said he wasn’t worried about them finding Stacy’s remains down the road because he figured by that time he would have been tried and acquitted, and you can’t be tried for the same case twice because of double jeopardy or something,” Wawczak said.

Modeling Stacy’s bikinis
The couple contacted Peterson after Stacy Peterson disappeared.

“We figured we were being good Joes, that’s all, helping him out,” Wawczak said.

As the investigation escalated, Peterson took to spending more and more evenings at Wawczak and Stark’s Bolingbrook home, the couple said. He would sneak out his back door, crawl through the yard and jump into their waiting van.

“He didn’t know if they were coming for him, and he thought this would be a good place to hide,” Wawczak said.

In mid-November, the State Police met with Wawczak and eventually began talking about enlisting his help, asking him to take a polygraph in the process, Wawczak said.

Stark, who has two sons and a daughter with Wawczak, said she remained nervous throughout their clandestine work, which ceased in mid-June. The worst day was probably when Peterson took her up in his ultra-light airplane in early spring for its first flight since Stacy Peterson vanished. A GPS device was hidden inside the thermal vest she wore so police could track where he flew, Stark said.

“I swear to God, I don’t think I was more scared,” she said.

She said she was also worried when Peterson hugged her and asked her to model his missing wife’s bikinis and fur coats.

“Even hugging him goodbye, trying to kiss me, rubbing up against me, whispering in my ear, ‘I love you,’” Stark said, adding she was worried Peterson might discover the recording device she wore.

“I thought a few times he might have felt it and might say something,” she said.

‘Don’t make me shoot him’
Stark said Peterson asked her to run off with him.

“He wanted to move to Kentucky and put a business and a house in my name in case they came to get him,” she said. “I said, ‘You plan to take me to Kentucky? You think Lenny’s going to let me go without a fight? You know how he is.’ He said, ‘Don’t make me shoot him.’”

Wawczak said he had his own uncomfortable moments. He said he balked when Peterson asked him to prove his loyalty by torching a bunch of plants a neighbor assembled in memory of Stacy and sabotage a boat that was being used in searches.

What was Peterson’s motivation?

“‘It would just be funny,’” Wawczak said Peterson told him.

‘He's done’
Wawczak and Stark said Peterson trusted them so much that he gave them a .22-caliber folding revolver for safe keeping. Police missed the gun when they searched his home, they said, and Peterson needed someone to take it when his firearm owner’s identification card was revoked. The couple said they surrendered the gun to police immediately, but told Peterson investigators seized it during a March search.

Stark and Wawczak said they grew close to Peterson’s children — the two teenage sons he had with Savio and the boy and girl he had with Stacy Peterson. The couple said they miss the children since they broke contact with Peterson when their work with police ended.

“It f------ kills me I’ll never get to see [them] again because I did the right thing,” Wawczak said.

“I would take those kids in a second,” Stark said. “I would take custody of those kids in a heartbeat.”

Wawczak said his own father was slain during a holdup of his gas station in 1975, when Len was 9.

The killer was found thanks to a woman who reported the license number of the getaway car. Wawczak said that’s partly why he agreed to help police investigating Savio’s murder and Stacy Peterson’s disappearance.

“Look what that lady did for my dad,” Wawczak said. “Had she not, that guy would have got away. Plus, it’s the right thing to do.”

Wawczak and Stark declined to spell out all the conversations they helped record for State Police, but they expect the information to lead to their former friend’s arrest.

“He’s done,” Wawczak said. “He’s going away.”

‘They’re wrong’
Peterson was nonplussed when he learned his friends were spying on him for the police. He said he felt no sense of betrayal, suggesting the couple had other motives.

“They stormed off mad one day when I wouldn’t lend them money,” Peterson said. “They wanted some big money from me.”

Peterson said he never voiced wishes Savio had been cremated, talked of shooting Wawczak or asked his friend to vandalize any flower memorial or boat.

“The only thing I talked about was him walking up and down and taking ribbons off the trees” memorializing Stacy, Peterson said.

Peterson also disputed Wawczak’s claim that the words recorded by the wire would be his undoing.

“No,” he said, “They’re wrong.”

Peterson even said whatever he uttered in the presence of Stark and Wawczak would help clear him.

“I’m almost glad,” he said. “Good.”

Here is a link to a blog, written by a woman named "Ashley" who emailed and chatted online with Drew for several months. She has saved and posted the screen captures of those interactions and you can read them here. It's disgusting. He proposed to her, lied to her, was found to be posting in "sex" sites and posted pictures which included the face of one of his sons.

Drew Peterson Dismisses Pals' Wiretaps

CHICAGO, July 24, 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(CBS/AP) Drew Peterson says he's confident he never said anything incriminating to friends who claim they wore a wire and taped conversations with him that link him to the disappearance of his fourth wife and slaying of his third wife.

"My thing is ... if they recorded me for seven months, it's going to clear me more than it's going to hurt me," the former Bolingbrook police sergeant told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Peterson, who has been named a suspect in the October disappearance of his wife, Stacy, would not discuss specific statements made by Paula Stark and her husband Len Wawczak in Wednesday's Chicago Sun-Times.

The couple claimed, among other things, that Peterson had wished aloud that he'd cremated his third wife's remains and asked them to set fire to a memorial to his missing wife.

"If I said anything close to that, it was taken out of context," Peterson said.

Stark and Wawczak told the newspaper that they secretly recorded conversations with Peterson, whom they'd known for 16 years, after being contacted by the Illinois State Police in mid-November. They said they continued recording conversations through mid-June.

Neither the state police nor the Will County State's Attorney's office would comment about the couple's account. A man who answered the phone Wednesday at a listing for Wawczak said the couple was not home.

Peterson told CBS News' The Early Show that he has not been contacted by authorities about the tapes.

"Everything I've heard has been through the media," he said, "nothing through the police or through any type of official."

Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, said he doesn't know if there are any tapes, but said if there are, he also is confident Peterson said nothing incriminating on them.

"We kind of say, if there are tapes of everything Drew said for the last 8 months, bring it on," Brodsky told the AP. "Even if they did some minor wiring for the state police a couple of times, there's certainly nothing incriminating on there."

Brodsky also said Peterson told the attorney he never said some of the things the couple attributed to him, including their assertion that he'd told them he wishes he'd had Kathleen Savio's body cremated. Brodsky also said Peterson told him he never asked Wawczak to set fire to a memorial to Stacy Peterson that a neighbor had erected or sabotage a boat that had been used to search for her.

Savio's body was found in a waterless bathtub in 2004 and her death was classified as accidental. Her body was exhumed after Stacy Peterson vanished and, after an autopsy, authorities reclassified the death as a homicide. Peterson has not been named a suspect by authorities, but family members of Savio have said they believe Peterson was involved with her death.

Brodsky also dismissed some of what Stark and Wawczak said as ridiculous, particularly their contention that Peterson told them he wasn't worried Stacy Peterson's remains would be found because he believed he would have been already tried and acquitted by then.

"That's a great plan," Brodsky said sarcastically. "Talk about your mastermind criminal. Lex Luthor, stand aside."

Peterson and Brodsky also questioned the couple's motives, and wondered if they were looking for a big payday.

"Listen, Paula has filed bankruptcy five times in the last nine years," Brodsky told CBS News, "Lenny's filed bankruptcy twice since 2004."

"The bottom line is these people are having severe financial problems," Peterson said. "Lenny quit his job and they're losing their house," adding that when he learned they were talking to the media he thought it was to drum up attention so they could sell their story later.

Peterson said the couple had asked him for money and became angry when he would not lend it to them.

"They were asking for thousands," he said.

He said they already have tried to cash in, claiming that he signed a hat given to him by one of the many television programs he's appeared on and gave it to Stark and, "The next thing I know it's on eBay..."

In May, WBBM Radio in Chicago reported that a Today show cap signed by Peterson was on the auction site.

Brodsky acknowledged that Peterson gave the couple a revolver after the state police pulled his gun owner's permit, just as he gave other guns to other people on Brodsky's advice because without a permit, it would have been illegal to possess the guns. Peterson never tried to conceal from authorities that he'd done so, Brodsky said.

Peterson told CBS News that he still did not have any idea where his wife Stacy might be.

"No, I don't. I wish I did," he told The Early Show "that would clear up a lot of things."

Friend: I Posed As Woman To Snag Drew Peterson
Len Wawczak Says He Was 'Ashley' In A Mock Online Romance With Drew Peterson
Reporting
Mike Puccinelli
BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) ― Len Wawczak did more than just talk with his former friend Drew Peterson using a wire. CBS 2's Mike Puccinelli talked with Wawczak overnight about Peterson professing his love online to what he thought was another woman.

When Wawczak wasn't wearing a wire to tape his former friend Drew Peterson for the police, he was often on his computer setting a different kind of trap. It involved lust and a made-up girl named Ashley.

Peterson was boasting last winter and spring about having a secret admirer named "Ashley." In late January, Peterson said he had been talking to the mysterious "Ashley," who was described as 20 years old. At the time, "Ashley" was reluctant to go public with her reasons for reaching out to Peterson.

For the first time we're learning who is the real Ashley. It is Len Wawczak.

"He became real fond of Ashley, and Ashley would be me," he said. "I am the real Ashley. I'm the one who did the blog. I'm the one who romanced Drew. I'm the one that typed to him in that pink font, and I'm the one that said that he said he wanted to take a bite out of my cute little a**. It was me."

Wawczak says as "Ashley," he and Peterson had an online relationship for more than two months.

"I started talking to him in March," Wawczak said. "I don't know, according to Drew, in his own words, he fell in love with me within the first day."

When Drew Peterson went on CNN's "Larry King Live" in April, Wawczak says he told Ashley he would show his love for her on the air.

"He said every time he pulled on his ear, that meant he loved me," Wawczak said. "He tugged on his ear three different instances."

Wawczak said Peterson cried crocodile tears on "Larry King."

"Drew was trying to make it seem like poor little Lacy is without her mom and everything, and he tried to choke up some tears, and at the same time he was pulling on his ear," Wawczak said. "It was all just staged, is what I'm saying."

During the interview, Wawczak logged on as the real Ashley and printed out instant messages he says were exchanged between Peterson and "Ashley," whose instant messaging screen name was "real ashley."

Peterson: "Get my message?"
Ashley: "Um no... what message?
Peterson: "My Larry King message."
Ashley: "You made me smile so big."
Peterson: "That was my intention."
Then Ashley seeks to clarify: "We're talking about you pulling on your earlobe to say you love me correct?"
Peterson: "Yep."

Wawczak says he and his wife decided to cooperate with police because they became suspicious of their former friend about two weeks after Stacy disappeared. He said going undercover was difficult, and at times, he and his wife would leave the Peterson home only to find the car covered in spit.

Wawczak had maintained blog entitled "Justice Soon for Kathleen and Stacy," and in the most recent entry, said he was "Ashley." He signed the post, " "Happy Birthday Joel - Love Ashley/Lenny - Hugs & Kisses :-)," referring to Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky.

The blog shows numerous screen shots of instant message sessions between "real ashley" and purportedly Peterson, some of which have sexually suggestive content. The blog also shows a shirtless photograph of Peterson, and several profiles from adult dating Web sites which are suggested in the blog to be Peterson's.

Peterson's attorney says his client did correspond with "Ashley." He says some of what is on the blog is true, but a lot more is fabricated.

Stacy Peterson supporters lose push for coroner referendum
 
Despite prodding by friends and relatives of Stacy Peterson, Will County board members decided Monday not to ask voters if they favor replacing the elected coroner with an appointed medical examiner.

The debate over putting a referendum question on the November ballot became entwined with the the disappearance last fall of Peterson of the Bolingbrook. Police say her husband, Drew, is a suspect in her disappearance. Police are also investigating the 2004 death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio.

Savio was found drowned in her bathtub, and a coroner's jury concluded that her death was accidental. After Stacy Peterson disappeared, Savio's death was re-investigated. Authorities now say she was a victim of homicide.

Nearly a dozen friends and relatives of Stacy Peterson attended the hearing in support of the referendum. They attribute the mistake in ruling Savio's death accidental at least partly to the coroner's office.

"I believe in my heart that had Kathleen Savio's case been properly handled, my sister would most likely be alive today," Peterson's sister, Cassandra Cales, tearfully told county board members.

Several county board members who backed the referendum also cited that case, contending it showed the coroner's system needs to be replaced.

"Clearly, something went wrong," said Republican board member Kathleen Konicki, referring to the Savio case. "I can't get away with telling my citizens we have a great system. It failed."

Coroner Patrick O'Neil didn't specifically address the Savio case, but said replacing an elected coroner wouldn't improve the way deaths are investigated.

"The cost would be higher and the results would be the same," said O'Neil, a Democrat.

Drew: I knew nothing of man
 
Drew Peterson says he knew nothing of the Coal City man his missing wife allegedly met for drinks the night before she vanished.

"This is the first I heard about it," Peterson said of Mike Kurdenok, a Joliet Junior College classmate of his missing wife, Stacy Peterson.

Kurdenok came forward immediately after Stacy disappeared to tell police she confided in him about a scheme to abandon her husband.

"It's like she was planning something and then two days later she acted on it," Peterson said. "I would say that vindicated me a little. Wouldn't you?"

State Police have named Peterson a suspect in the disappearance of Stacy, his fourth wife. They have classified the case as a "potential homicide."

Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, said he learned of Kurdenok when prosecutors turned over documents Wednesday related to a felony weapons charge filed against Peterson in May.

Can Drew get fair trial in Will County?; His lawyers may try to move it elsewhere

Ex-Bolingbrook cop Drew Peterson might be too famous to stand trial in Will County, his attorneys said Thursday.

They said that as a result, they might seek to move his Dec. 8 trial on a felony weapons charge out of Will County.

Intense news coverage of the October 2007 disappearance of Peterson's fourth wife and the mysterious 2004 death of his third wife could make it tough for him to get a fair trial on the weapons charge, his lawyers said.

"Given the amount of media attention, it's going to be very difficult to find jurors who don't know anything about Drew Peterson," Peterson attorney Andrew Abood said after a court hearing in Joliet.

His lawyers said they haven't decided yet whether to ask Judge Richard Schoenstedt to move the trial -- and probably won't until after a Sept. 18 hearing on what evidence will be presented during the trial, which they said could last two weeks.

Much of that time could be consumed in selecting jurors who haven't formed an opinion of Peterson, Abood and co-counsel Joel Brodsky said.

"There's a public opinion about Drew that is slanted in a certain direction," Abood said.

Peterson has been named a suspect in the Oct. 28 disappearance of 23-year-old Stacy Peterson. Police also have reclassified the 2004 drowning death of third wife Kathleen Savio as a murder.

Drew Peterson hasn't been charged in either case, but the 54-year-old former police sergeant was charged earlier this year with owning what authorities contend is an illegally modified assault rifle. Police seized it during a November search of Peterson's Bolingbrook home a few days after Stacy Peterson vanished.

Peterson, who left Thursday's hearing without comment, was entitled to own the weapon because he used it for his police duties, Brodsky and Abood have argued.

Prosecutors declined to say if they would oppose a request to shift the weapons trial out of Will County but said Peterson and his attorneys helped stoke the extensive media attention.

"This office is not responsible for Mr. Peterson's notoriety," said Charles Pelkie, a spokesman for Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow. "The ability to limit his exposure to the media lies with his attorneys."

Asked where he might want to have the gun trial moved, Brodsky chuckled, then replied: "Maybe China."

Thanks, Nut.  Drew Peterson is his own worst spokesperson.  If he would shut his trap, and stop acting like a pompous ass, he would have a bigger selection in his jury pool.  No matter where he goes, all he has to do is open his pie hole and even a jury who never heard his name before will feel the same way.

Excerpts from 'Fatal Vows: The Tragic Wives of Sergeant Drew Peterson'

Sept. 7, 2008

Last October, Stacy Peterson disappeared. And with her disappearance, a national spotlight fell on Bolingbrook, the previously tranquil southwest suburb where the 23-year-old woman lived with her husband, Drew Peterson, then a Bolingbrook police sergeant, and their children.

Suspicion centered on Drew Peterson, who has steadfastly maintained that the missing woman -- his fourth wife -- ran off, probably with another man. Peterson has not been charged but has been identified by investigators as a "suspect" in the still-unsolved disappearance.

Adding intrigue: Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, had been found dead in the bathtub of the couple's home in 2004 -- a death that initially had been ruled accidental. But amid questions raised by Stacy Peterson's disappearance, Savio's body was exhumed for a second autopsy. As a result of that newly reopened investigation, in February Savio's death was ruled a homicide.

In a new book, Fatal Vows: The Tragic Wives of Sergeant Drew Peterson (Phoenix Books, $25.95), Joe Hosey, a reporter for the Herald News in Joliet since 1999, draws on interviews with the family and friends of the missing woman and with Drew Peterson himself to examine the bizarre case, which Hosey has covered for the Herald News and the Chicago Sun-Times.

What follows are two excerpts from the book. The first recounts the inquest by Will County Coroner Patrick O'Neil into Savio's death. The second excerpt begins with Stacy Peterson's friend Sharon Bychowski's surprise at not being able to reach her by phone last Oct. 28:

O'Neil ran the show at Savio's inquest, but the star player at the proceeding was Special Agent [Herbert] Hardy of the Illinois State Police. Hardy was dispatched to testify, even though he only played a small role in the investigation of the woman's death. He did not talk to Peterson or Stacy, and he never met with friends or family of Peterson and Savio. He also did not attend Savio's autopsy and never made an appearance in the second-story bathroom of 392 Pheasant Chase Drive to inspect the death scene. Yet he was the representative the state police selected to attend the inquest of a police sergeant's former wife, who died mysteriously in the midst of

an acrimonious divorce, and who had at one time filed an order of protection in which she alleged he had threatened to kill her.

Hardy did question some of Savio's neighbors, but . . .

"I didn't talk to the ones that were really close to her," Hardy testified at the inquest. "Myself and [another agent] did what we call a 'neighborhood canvass,' and we did speak to quite a few of the neighbors in the general area of the residence."

It came as little surprise that Hardy did not get much information out of those neighbors.

"Did anyone hear or see anything unusual, see any squad cars or anything, any suspicious activity in that area?" O'Neil, the coroner, asked Hardy.

Hardy said they had not.

"Did you find any signs of foul play during the course of your investigation?" O'Neil asked.

"No, sir," Hardy said. "We did not."

There were no indications of a burglary or home invasion, no weapons in the house and, according to Hardy, no signs on Savio's body or in the home that a struggle had taken place.

"Everything seemed to be in order," he said. The only possible exception was an unmade bed with some books and magazines on it. "Nobody related to us that they saw anything unusual in the neighborhood those last few days."

The only unusual thing was the dead woman in the dry bathtub.

"There was no water [in] the tub when our agents arrived," Hardy said. "It must have drained out after setting for such a long period of time."

Savio's hair was still wet, the special agent noted, her fingertips were pruned, and her skin was wrinkled. She had a cut on the back of her head, and a small amount of blood was in the tub.

"We think that the laceration from her -- that she sustained to the back of her head -- was caused by a fall in the tub," Hardy said. "There was nothing to lead us to believe that anything else occurred. There was no other evidence at this time that shows that anything else occurred."

Hardy never laid out a specific scenario about what state police believe immediately preceded the fall in the tub. Had Savio, at the end of her bath, stood to unplug the drain but slipped before she could do so? Had she slipped getting into the tub? State police didn't say; perhaps it was not something that could be determined. The tub stopper was down -- that was confirmed at the inquest -- but there was no mention of having tested the stopper to see how fast a tubful of water could seep away. Would a plugged-up tub drain and dry out in less than two days, the amount of time between Savio's phone call with her boyfriend and the discovery of her body? Would a body lying in a tub trap some water underneath it that wouldn't evaporate in that time? If any of these questions factored in to the state police's deliberations, the public never knew of it.

Savio, state police concluded, had fallen and drowned in the tub while water slowly drained away; she died from an accidental drowning.

"And at the point we're at now," Hardy said, "we're still waiting. . . . All alibis, all stories were checked as to where people were, and if I remember . . . if I recall correctly, the only thing we're waiting for now is some phone records to find out if certain calls were made when they said they were made. So at this point, that's where we're at." And it's at that point that they pretty much stayed for the next three and half years.

In stark contrast to Hardy's confidence in how Savio perished, her family testified at the inquest that they never for a moment believed her death was an accident. Rather, they told the jury that Savio lived in terror of Peterson.

Savio's sister, Susan Savio, said Kathleen even predicted that, if she died, "It may look like an accident, but it wasn't."

"And it's just very hard for me to accept that," Susan continued, "what had happened. His reactions to this were a laughing matter -- cleaning everything out, ready to get rid of the house. It's very hard."

Peterson did not attend the inquest.

Family members also brought up financial issues between Kathleen Savio and Peterson. In the divorce settlement, Savio was to get the house. Once she had it, Susan Savio said, "She was going to sell the house and move away." But Peterson had other plans, according to Savio family members.

Around 2 p.m., Bychowski called Stacy's cell phone. The call went straight to voice mail, which struck Bychowski as odd. "When she's gone, she never turned her cell off, ever."

Bychowski did not hear from Stacy for the rest of the day. At about 8:30 a.m. the next morning -- Monday, Oct. 29 -- her doorbell rang. She expected it to be Stacy, who usually rang the bell and walked right in. This time, though, it was Peterson. He grabbed Bychowski by the arm and, saying he needed her, took her to his house. She didn't even have time to put on her shoes.

"I thought, 'Oh, my God. Oh, my God, what's wrong?' My heart is pounding, that kind of pounding when you get pulled over by the cops? . . . 'What's wrong? What's wrong?' 'Just come, come.' He wouldn't tell me. I see that there's both cars in the driveway."

•        •         •         •       

Once she was inside Peterson's house, he dropped what he must have thought was a bombshell, only Bychowski knew it was coming.

"He says, 'She left me,' " Bychowski said. "I go, 'Yeah.' . . . I'm thinking, 'And?' 'Cause I know how unhappy she is, and I know she wants to leave him. I thought she left for sure.

"I said, 'Where are the kids?' And he says, 'They're upstairs.' "

With this revelation, she knew something was amiss.

"He goes, 'I know this is really difficult for you. I know you thought she was your bud and all.' I'm like, 'Now what do I do?' I'm in the house alone with him, basically. And you know what else was odd? Everything was perfect. Like, we have the same flowers. They're always on her kitchen table. Gone. There's nothing on the kitchen table. No kids' place mats. No sippy cups. Nothing. Odd."

Peterson then complained of Stacy looting their safe and going on a spending spree. He said she took $25,000 from their safe at home, Bychowski said, but Stacy had told Bychowski the week before that she had transferred $25,000 to pay off a home-equity line of credit so they would only have to divide up assets and not liabilities. "But he doesn't know that I know that," Bychowski said. "So I just said, 'Oh.' "

Peterson said Stacy also took passports and car and house titles and bought herself new clothes and a bikini. The list gave Bychowski further cause for concern.

"Well, I also know that she has a favorite bikini. She's not going to give that up. I know she has these fabulous bras that she bought herself as a treat after she had her liposuction. I said, 'She's not giving up those bras.' I know her. She had favorite bras. She's not giving up all those bras."

Bychowski was in disbelief. She figured Stacy would leave Peterson sooner or later, but she could not swallow that the young woman would abruptly depart without taking her children. When she got home and briefed her husband, she said he had a similar sense of dread.

"I said, 'Bob, the kids are there.' He sits up and he goes, 'OK, that's not right.' I said, 'You don't think I'm being a drama queen to tell you that I think that there's something wrong with this?' And he goes, 'One thing I know about her is, she'd never leave her kids.'

"My husband's not involved with a lot of stuff," Bychowski said, "but he knows her well enough to know those kids are always with her."

Soon after Bychowski returned home, Stacy's sister Cassandra and Bruce Zidarich were at her door.

Zidarich asked Bychowski if she'd heard about Stacy; Bychowski said she had. Stacy's sister, Bychowski said, was crying.

Cassandra had apparently had a sleepless, stressful night. After not hearing from Stacy all day Sunday, around 11 that evening she had gone to her sister's house. The driveway was empty. She said she spoke with her nephew Kristopher, who told her his parents had fought that morning, then Stacy had left, and his father was out looking for her.

Cassandra left the house and called Peterson on his cell phone. She was sitting in the parking lot of a nearby Meijer department store when he told her that Stacy had run off, and he was trying to find her. She said Peterson also told her he was home, which she found difficult to believe, considering she had just been there.

Cassandra then went to the Downers Grove Police Department. She did not want to trust the matter to the Bolingbrook police, and might have chosen the Downers Grove police because she had grown up in the town, but they sent her to Bolingbrook anyway.

From the Bolingbrook Police Department, Cassandra drove by her sister's home again. This time, both the Denali and the Grand Prix were parked there. Cassandra then headed to the nearby District 5 state police headquarters and, in the early hours of Monday, Oct. 29, reported Stacy Peterson missing.

By the time Cassandra showed up at Bychowski's house, she had an awful feeling about what had happened to her sister.

"She said, 'He killed her. He killed her,' " Bychowski said.

Judge: Authorities have done electronic surveillance on Drew Peterson
But what was recorded is still sealed; ex-cop's lawyers had sought the information

By Erika Slife |  Chicago Tribune reporter
    September 19, 2008



A Will County judge on Thursday said he is in possession of an "extensive" number of CDs, DVDs and tapes related to the surveillance of former Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, the suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife.

Judge Richard Schoenstedt made the disclosure at a pretrial hearing where Peterson's legal team sought to gain information regarding any electronic surveillance that police may have conducted on him.

Peterson, 54, was in court facing felony gun charges for allegedly possessing a modified assault rifle with a barrel of less than 16 inches in violation of state law. Authorities seized the rifle after search warrants were executed as part of the investigation into the Oct. 28 disappearance of Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy. She was 23 at the time she vanished.

Authorities are also re-examining the death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, who, at 40, was found dead in an empty bathtub in her Bolingbrook home in 2004.

Peterson has not been charged in either case and maintains his innocence.

On Thursday, Schoenstedt's remarks confirmed for the first time that authorities have secretly recorded Peterson as part of their investigation.

But what type of surveillance authorities carried out was not discussed in open court. The information is under seal, and Schoenstedt did not elaborate beyond saying the amount was extensive. Afterward, Peterson's attorneys declined to comment further.

"I really can't get into the details of what's printed in that list. But I would say that, if I'm police and I'm investigating a gun case like this, electronic surveillance is not going to play a big part in my investigation," Peterson's attorney Joel Brodsky said.

In July, Peterson's former friends, Len Wawczak and Paula Stark, went public with claims that they wore a wire and recorded conversations with Peterson about both cases regarding his wives. Law-enforcement officials had never confirmed their statements.

In court, Brodsky and his fellow attorney, Andrew Abood, also argued a series of motions related to the gun charges. The Will County state's attorney's office had requested a gag order, which Peterson's attorneys successfully blocked. They also won the right to interview Bolingbrook police about whether Peterson used the rifle as a secondary duty weapon, which he claims.

But they were unsuccessful in their motion to bar the department's rules and regulations from trial, although Schoenstedt said rulings on motions could be revisited. Another motion to be discussed at a later date is whether testimony from Peterson's son, Stephen, will be excluded at trial. Peterson allegedly transferred the gun to his son, an Oak Brook police officer, according to the indictment.

The next court hearing is scheduled for Oct. 23 to discuss jury selection. Peterson's attorneys are considering requesting a change of venue, believing he may not get a fair trial in Will County.

The trial is scheduled to begin Dec. 8.

Police Sergeant's Wife Goes Missing
Husband's History May Present Clues


POSTED: 6:02 am CDT October 30, 2007
UPDATED: 11:26 am CDT October 30, 2007


BOLINGBROOK, Ill. -- State Police are searching for the wife of a southwest suburban Bolingbrook police sergeant.

"Because he's one of our officers, we thought it would be better to have an independent agency investigating," Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar said of the state's involvement in the disappearance of Stacey Peterson.

It was not clear how long Peterson, the 23-year-old wife of Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, has been missing. Illinois State Police Trooper Mark Dorencz at first declined to comment on the matter, but later said the state is handling the case as a missing persons investigation.

The Bolingbrook police department said Drew Peterson was not scheduled to work Monday. A message left for him at the department went unreturned.


According to an Illinois State Police news release -- which spelled her name Stacy Ann Peterson -- she was last heard from at 10 a.m. Sunday. She was supposed to help a friend do some painting, but never showed up.

Stacy Peterson is described as a white female, 5-feet 2-inches tall, about 100 pounds, with brown hair and eyes. She was last seen wearing a red jogging suit. She has a tattoo of a blue and yellow carnation on the small of her back and a scar across her stomach, the release said.

According to the release, Stacy Peterson frequents Joliet Junior College and her family reported her missing at 4 a.m. Monday.

Drew Peterson's previous wife, 40-year-old Kathleen Savio, was found dead in the dry bathtub of her Pheasant Chase home in March 2004. Drew Peterson and Savio were divorced and he was returning their two sons to their home after a weekend visit, but no one answered the locked door.

Peterson went to a neighbor's to call a locksmith. Once entry was gained, the neighbor went inside and found Savio's body in a waterless bathtub.

The investigation revealed Savio drowned. Her fingertips showed pruning from being submerged in water and her hair was wet when she was found. While there was no water in the bathtub, it may have drained out over time, as the plug was down, investigators speculated.

A coroner's jury ruled the death accidental. State Police investigated that case as well. No charges were filed.

According to one official, Savio was Drew Peterson's third wife, and Stacey Peterson is his fourth.

More than 20 years ago, Drew Peterson was fired from the Bolingbrook Police Department after the village board of police and fire commissioners found him guilty of disobedience, conducting a self-assigned investigation, failure to report a bribe immediately and official misconduct. He had been indicted two months earlier on charges of official misconduct and failure to report a bribe. Peterson was working under the auspices of the Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad at the time. Indictments alleged he solicited drugs in exchange for information about his agency.

The charges later were dropped. Special prosecutor Raymond Bolden said at the time that the charges were not provable.

Drew Peterson won reinstatement with the department in March 1986. Judge Edwin Grabiec ruled police and fire commissioners lacked sufficient evidence to find Peterson guilty of the charges.

Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to call ISP Joliet District at 815-726-6377.

Polygraph results leave Peterson puzzled

September 29, 2008

The Associated Press
A former Bolingbrook police officer says he doesn't know why a polygraph shows he was deceptive in answering questions about his wife's disappearance.

Drew Peterson is a suspect in last October's disappearance of his wife, Stacy. He denies any wrongdoing.


Stacy and Drew Peterson




RELATED STORIES
• SPECIAL SECTION: The Drew Peterson Case
He took two lie detector tests for an upcoming book. They indicated he'd been ``deceptive'' in answering three questions.

The questions focused on the last time Peterson saw his wife, whether he knows where she is and whether she told him she was leaving.

Peterson told CBS' ``The Early Show'' Monday that he doesn't know why the polygraph shows he was being deceptive.

He says Stacy left him for another man.

Peterson's attorney says he doesn't think polygraphs are reliable but that Peterson's show he hasn't done anything wrong.

October 5, 2008 Sunday
 
Was drew telling truth?; Biggest answers 'not deceptive' The new book Drew Peterson Exposed about the former Bolingbrook police officer and his dead third wife and missing fourth wife is billed as a 300-page news story. And it does have some news. Peterson -- under a cloud of suspicion after his third wife Kathleen Savio's mysterious death was finally ruled a homicide and his fourth wife Stacy Peterson vanished nearly a year ago -- agreed to take separate polygraph tests to address questions about both cases.
 
Lee McCord -- described by author Derek Armstrong as an expert polygrapher with 30 years experience -- administered the tests and concluded Peterson was truthful when he said he had nothing to do with the death of Savio.

But in a polygraph focusing on the disappearance of Stacy Peterson, McCord found Peterson "deceptive" in answering three of six questions. The polygrapher asked: "Do you know the whereabouts of your wife Stacy?" P erson said "no" -- a response the tester deemed "deceptive." Peterson said "yes" to whether he got a call from his wife the night of her disappearance. Again, McCord said that was "deceptive," and concluded the same to Peterson's "yes" to whether he last saw his wife at their home before going to bed after an overnight shift at work.

Author Armstrong, who bills himself as a journalist, author of mystery thrillers and "marketing guru," examines the results of the polygraph and concludes that Peterson, who has never been charged with a crime in connection with his wives but has been described by authorities as a "suspect" in Stacy Peterson's disappearance, would not have harmed his wives.

At one point, he describes Peterson as an enigma -- but not a killer.

He backs that assertion with Peterson's own hour-by-hour breakdown of how he spent Oct. 28, 2007 -- the day Stacy Peterson vanished, leaving behind their two young children. Authorities previously have questioned the timeline Peterson gave them.

In his new book, Drew Peterson Exposed, author Derek Armstrong writes at one point about two separate polygraph tests that the former Bolingbrook cop agreed to take amid questions about the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, and the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson. The tests were administered by polygrapher Lee McCord. In an excerpt from the book, Peterson and his attorney Joel Brodsky hear about the results:

Lee McCord refers to the chart and his notes as he gives them the results. A patient Drew Peterson and a less-patient Joel Brodsky sit opposite him, waiting for the results.

"To the question 'On Sunday October 28, 2007, did you last see your wife Stacy in your home before going to bed after coming home from work?' you answered Yes. This is a deceptive answer."

He waits for a reaction. He sees none.

"To the question 'Did you have any involvement in the physical removal of your wife Stacy from your home on Sunday October 28, 2007?' you answered No. There is no deception."

Still no reaction.

"To the question 'Did you in any way physically harm your wife Stacy during the time she disappeared?' you answered No. There is no deception."

Peterson stares at the chart.

"To the question 'Do you know the whereabouts of your wife Stacy?' you answered No. This was a deceptive answer."

"To the question 'Did you receive a phone call from your wife Stacy on the evening of October 28th, 2007, telling you that she was leaving you?' You answered Yes. This was a deceptive answer."

"To the question 'Did your wife Stacy call you on Sunday, October 28th, 2007, and tell you that if you wanted the car it was parked at the Clow Airport?' you answered Yes. There was no deception."

Peterson nods. "Thank you."

In another excerpt, the author examines the results of the polygraph tests:

On the key questions of whether he harmed either wife, the answers seems to be conclusively no, he did not harm them. Assuming we accept the researched statistics on polygraph reliability, there is between an 86 percent and 98 percent likelihood Drew Peterson is not guilty.

His ordeal of "trial by media" was perhaps unnecessary.

Of course two questions remain. He may not have harmed either wife, but why is he being deceptive regarding the less important questions regarding seeing Stacy after he went to bed the morning of Oct. 28, 2007 and whether she called to tell him she was leaving? My theory is a personal one. There is some ego involved here. He has given his timeline and explanations of events as he remembers them. The polygraph might point to errors or deliberate oversights on two key points, but his pride or ego won't allow him to clarify.

I propose this theory after having spent a lot of time with this enigmatic man. He strikes me as a misunderstood man, a good father, a moral enigma, but not a killer. Is he a liar? Perhaps in areas that might affect the opinion of his children.

In Peterson's world, his children are everything.

Did Peterson distort the truth on these two key points of seeing Stacy and her calling to say she was leaving him because this truthful answer would be less appetizing to his children? I think this might be the case, but it's only my opinion. A plausible one, but not definitive.

Drew Peterson's son gets new suspension
October 17, 2008 at 7:17 PM | Comments (5)

As he waits for an appeal of an 8-day suspension meted out in April, an Oak Brook police officer was handed a stiffer punishment for running unauthorized computer checks of village staffers' vehicles, authorities said today.

Stephen Peterson misused the Police Department's mobile data system to run license tags of more than 10 village personnel, including Village Manager David Niemeyer and Deputy Police Chief Steve Larson, the village's Police and Fire Commission ruled Thursday, suspending Peterson for 25 days.

The three-member panel also agreed with Police Chief Thomas Sheahan that Peterson made improper personal queries on the Law Enforcement Agency Data Systems computer.

Peterson argued that he was making random checks, as allowed under department policy, and that he typically checks 50 to 100 license plates each shift.

Peterson will be given the opportunity to appeal the ruling before the suspension is enforced. A DuPage County judge in January will consider his appeal of the suspension he received for being in uniform and driving a squad car, without permission from superiors, when he appeared at a Will County grand jury.

The panel was investigating the role of his father, former Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson in the disappearance of Drew Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy.

Answer on Peterson wife?; Prosecutor close to solving case -- won't say which one ........
 
It has taken nearly a year, but Will County prosecutors say they are finally close to determining exactly what happened to one of Drew Peterson's wives.

Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow won't say which case he is close to solving -- the 2004 death of Kathleen Savio or the Oct. 28, 2007, disappearance of Stacy Peterson.

Describing the ongoing investigations into the fate of the two women as "highly productive," Glasgow said Wednesday he expects to have some answers soon.

"I fully expect there to be a resolution in at least one of these investigations in the near future," Glasgow said in a statement timed for the one-year anniversary of Stacy Peterson's disappearance.

But he offered no new details, and attorneys for former Bolingbrook cop Drew Peterson -- who has been labeled a suspect in Stacy's disappearance -- dismissed Glasgow's assessment as nothing new.

"That's the same stuff we've been hearing for quite a while. There's nothing there that's causing us any concern," said Joel Brodsky, who said Peterson had nothing to do with Stacy's disappearance or Savio's death.

Stacy Peterson -- Drew Peterson's fourth wife -- was 23 when she vanished last fall from the couple's Bolingbrook home. He contends that she left him voluntarily, possibly for another man.

After she disappeared, authorities reviewed Savio's bathtub drowning death, which originally was ruled an accident. A new investigation concluded that Savio -- who had recently divorced Drew Peterson -- was murdered.

Family members of the two women said they're heartened by Glasgow's optimism.

"To us, it's hopeful," said Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for Stacy Peterson's relatives.

Savio's sister Anna Doman offered a similar sentiment.

"I'm hoping something happens," she said. "There's no way I'm giving up hope of finding out what happened."

The one-year anniversary of Stacy Peterson's disappearance is Oct. 28. Her husband Drew Peterson is a suspect.

Charges coming in Peterson case?  State's attorney expects 'resolution,' Drew just shrugs  :roll:
 
To mark the year that has passed since Stacy Peterson vanished, her sister and closest relatives will mourn privately, while neighbors hold a memorial vigil.

Drew Peterson has different plans for Tuesday: He's going on TV to talk about the disappearance of his fourth wife -- and the mysterious 2004 drowning death of his third wife.

"I'm not going to be here. I'm going to do some New York show," said Peterson, the former Bolingbrook cop who has been named the sole suspect in Stacy's disappearance but has continued to insist in media interviews that his 23-year-old wife voluntarily left him for another man.

But a year later, Will County authorities abruptly have signalled that some charges may be coming in Stacy Peterson's disappearance or Savio's death, which initially was classified an accident. After Stacy's disappearance, authorities exhumed Savio's body, conducted a second autopsy and labeled her bathtub drowning a homicide.

Calling the investigations into the two cases "highly productive," Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow last week said he expected to conclude one of the probes shortly.

"I fully expect there to be a resolution in at least one of these investigations in the near future," Glasgow said in a written statement.

A key issue in filing charges could be new legislation Glasgow is pushing that would allow so-called "hearsay evidence" from absent witnesses to be presented in murder trials. The proposed law Glasgow is backing would allow a judge to determine whether previous statements made by a witness -- even a murder victim -- could be admitted as trial evidence if prosecutors prove the defendant is responsible for the witness not being able to testify personally.

Both Savio and Stacy Peterson reportedly told friends they feared Drew Peterson --statements prosecutors conceivably could use against him if the hearsay bill becomes law later this year.

Their relatives remain upbeat that they ultimately will see criminal charges filed.

"I know something is coming," Stacy's sister Cassandra Cales said. "The wheels of justice turn slowly, but they're going to turn."

Savio's sister, Anna Doman, thinks charges in her sister's death aren't far off.

"This is gonna happen, I'm just not sure when," Doman said.

Peterson, who denies any wrongdoing, shrugged off Glasgow's efforts to enact the hearsay law and his recent pronouncement that he expects action soon in at least one of the cases.

"I'm just kind of numb to it all," said Peterson.

Attorney Joel Brodsky tied Glasgow's recent statements to his upcoming, contested Nov. 4 election and flatly predicted Peterson doesn't have to worry about standing trial.

"He's not going to be charged in either case," Brodsky said.

Stacy Peterson supporters lose push for coroner referendum
 
Despite prodding by friends and relatives of Stacy Peterson, Will County board members decided Monday not to ask voters if they favor replacing the elected coroner with an appointed medical examiner.

The debate over putting a referendum question on the November ballot became entwined with the the disappearance last fall of Peterson of the Bolingbrook. Police say her husband, Drew, is a suspect in her disappearance. Police are also investigating the 2004 death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio.

Savio was found drowned in her bathtub, and a coroner's jury concluded that her death was accidental. After Stacy Peterson disappeared, Savio's death was re-investigated. Authorities now say she was a victim of homicide.

Nearly a dozen friends and relatives of Stacy Peterson attended the hearing in support of the referendum. They attribute the mistake in ruling Savio's death accidental at least partly to the coroner's office.

"I believe in my heart that had Kathleen Savio's case been properly handled, my sister would most likely be alive today," Peterson's sister, Cassandra Cales, tearfully told county board members.

Several county board members who backed the referendum also cited that case, contending it showed the coroner's system needs to be replaced.

"Clearly, something went wrong," said Republican board member Kathleen Konicki, referring to the Savio case. "I can't get away with telling my citizens we have a great system. It failed."

Coroner Patrick O'Neil didn't specifically address the Savio case, but said replacing an elected coroner wouldn't improve the way deaths are investigated.

"The cost would be higher and the results would be the same," said O'Neil, a Democrat.

Drew Peterson to missing wife Stacy: ‘Show yourself’

Despite results of polygraph test, he contends she ran off
with another man :roll:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27416095/

By Mike Celizic
TODAYShow.com contributor
updated 8:14 a.m. ET, Tues., Oct. 28, 2008
On the one-year anniversary of the disappearance of Stacy Peterson, her husband, former police sergeant Drew Peterson, said he has no idea why three answers he gave during a polygraph examination related to the disappearance were judged to be deceptive.

“I have no idea,” Peterson told TODAY’s Matt Lauer Tuesday in New York. “I have no real knowledge of the operations of the polygraph.”

Questions and answers
Peterson had agreed to take the examination at the request of Derek Armstrong, the author of the recently published book “Drew Peterson Exposed.” His attorney, Joel Brodsky, who accompanied his client to New York, told Lauer he advised Peterson not to take the test because Brodsky doesn’t trust the so-called lie detector.

According to transcripts of the examination released by Armstrong, Peterson was deceptive when he said Stacy Peterson called to tell him she was leaving him; when he said he did not know where she was; and when he said he had seen her the night before she vanished.

Peterson’s replies to three other questions regarding Stacy were deemed not deceptive by the polygraph operator. Those were denials that he harmed his wife during the time she disappeared or that he was involved in physically removing her from their home, and an affirmation that she had called him to tell him where her car was parked after she left.

It had been reported that Brodsky crafted all the questions asked of his client, including four involving the 2003 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, who was found dead in her bathtub. Initially ruled a suicide, that death was ruled a homicide last year after the body was exhumed and another autopsy conducted.

Brodsky told Lauer he had nothing to do with writing the questions. He also said that Peterson was deemed to be not deceptive in his answers to questions about Savio’s death.

Peterson received no money for his cooperation with Armstrong, who told NBC News that when he examined all the evidence in the case, he began to believe Peterson may have killed the 23-year-old Stacy Peterson as well as his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

“I started to come to the conclusion in my own mind that he might be guilty,” Armstrong said.

Pushing for new law
While Peterson was in New York, Stacy Peterson’s family and friends were putting out flowers and candles and planning a prayer vigil in Bolingbrook, Ill., where Peterson still lives. Meanwhile, Peterson was in New York repeating his claim that she ran away with another man.

“I will be with the children later on this evening,” he told Lauer, who was the first national reporter Peterson spoke to after Stacy’s disappearance. “We figured that we had to talk with somebody. We’re pretty much consistent. We started with you and we’ll finish with you.”

Peterson said his two teenage sons by Savio understand their father’s situation, while the small children have become accustomed to life without their mother.

“The frequency of the questions are becoming less and less,” he said of the two young children. “It’s more or less becoming commonplace that she’s not there.”

Peterson has not been charged in connection with either Savio’s death or Stacy’s disappearance. But James Glasgow, the Will County, Ill., State’s Attorney, is pushing for a state law that would allow hearsay evidence to be heard in court if the evidence came from an absent witness, if the judge determined the defendant is responsible for the absence of the witness.

Such a law would allow relatives and friends of Savio and Stacy Peterson to testify about what the women told them regarding Peterson. A minister has told the media that Stacy told him her husband admitted to killing Savio. Relatives of Savio and Stacy Peterson have said they expressed fears that Peterson would kill them.

Brodsky praised Glasgow’s work as state's attorney, but said that he is up for reelection next week and is pushing the law for political purposes.

‘Show yourself’
Lauer asked Peterson if he understands why many believe he killed both Savio and Stacy.

“I understand very well,” he replied. “The media’s done everything they can to keep me in a position looking guilty.”

Lauer then asked if Peterson expects to be charged with murder and tried.

“I really don’t know. I would hope not,” Peterson answered. “All I can do is mentally prepare for it and prepare for the well-being of my children.”

Lauer also asked whether Peterson still believes Stacy Peterson ran away with another man, as he has maintained since her disappearance.

“I still believe that, yes. I have nothing to believe otherwise,” he said.

Finally, Lauer asked what Peterson would say to Stacy if she was alive and listening to the show.

“Show yourself,” he said. “Put an end to this nightmare.”

Four wives
Peterson, 54, retired last year from the Bolingbrook, Ill., Police Department as a sergeant after 29 years of service. The retirement followed shortly after Stacy Peterson disappeared, and Peterson reportedly collects a $5,800 monthly pension.

He has been married four times. His first wife, Carol Brown, divorced him in 1980 after six years of marriage partly because he was unfaithful. His second marriage, to Vicki Connolly, ended after 10 years. Connolly later told reporters that he had physically abused her during the marriage.

Wow,  I just came here to catch any new updates since it seems like ages, but low and behold, leave it to the Monkeys to dig up info!  Drew hasn't been on t.v. for awhile that I've seen,  so assumed there wasn't anything.

I'm so glad something is happening soon.  My guess its for Kathleen since they actually had her body to find forensics from.   I pray for Savio family and the peace they so much deserve as well as for Stacy's.   AND those poor "innocent' children living and learning from there sociopath, narcisstic father!

He needs to join Scott Peterson and Casey Anthony in prison!!   What a team they would Be!  Then throw in Joran.   Scary, huh?

Anyhow, thanks for all the updates, I'm surprised nothing has been on the news.   I CAN'T WAIT until the elections are over and we can begin to get more updates from the media, especially Greta.

Drew Peterson Calls Missing Wife 'Little Girl' on Dr. Phil
Monday, November 10, 2008

The husband and suspect in the disappearance of a suburban Chicago mom called his missing wife "a little girl" in an appearance on the "Dr. Phil" Show to air Monday.

Drew Peterson sat down with Dr. Phil McGraw last month in Los Angeles to speak about his 23-year-old wife Stacy Peterson, who vanished on Oct. 28, 2007, from her Bolingbrook, Ill., home. Drew Peterson has been named a suspect in her disappearance, and in the months following, police exhumed the body of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, and reclassified her death as a homicide.

Click here for photos.

"Nobody makes it easy for her to reappear," Drew Peterson said of Stacy in a video clip posted to Dr. Phil's YouTube site. "I mean why would anybody want to come back to this hellstorm that’s been created or to possibility of some sort of criminal prosecution? She’s a little girl and why would she want to come back to that."

In the promotional clip, Dr. Phil asks Drew Peterson why he's appeared so emotionally distant during the yearlong search for the missing mom.

“We’ve definitely looked for her with private investigators," Drew Peterson said.
But shown emotion? I’ve been a policeman for 32 years."

"But this isn’t about a case, this is about your wife," Dr. Phil said.

"It has to do with how you are, what you grow into. And being a policeman for 32 years, you’re trained and you live life not showing emotion," Drew Peterson responded. "It’s rare that anybody sees emotion out of me, and there’s really no book written anywhere that you can read and tell you how to act or how to be when this type of thing happens."

The former police officer's publicist said in a news release Sunday that Drew Peterson's decision to sit down with Dr. Phil is perhaps "the boldest move yet to prove his innocence."

Glenn Selig, Drew Peterson's publicist, maintained his client's innocence in both Stacy Peterson's disappearance as well as Kathleen Savio's death.

Last month, Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow issued a statement about the Savio and Stacy Peterson cases, indicating that a special grand jury is still weighing evidence in both.

"I fully expect there to be a resolution in at least one of these investigations in the near future," Glasgow said.

Drew Peterson currently faces felony charges in connection to illegal guns found in his home.

November 13, 2008 Thursday
 
Defense seeks documents;
Drew Peterson's lawyers focus on gun-case timeline
 
Authorities used "vindictive and selective" prosecution in their case against former Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson, his legal team argued in Will County Court on Wednesday.

Peterson, 54, is facing felony gun charges for allegedly possessing a modified assault rifle with a barrel of less than 16 inches. Authorities seized the rifle, along with other weapons, after search warrants were executed last November in the investigation into the Oct. 28, 2007, disappearance of Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy.

But Peterson's attorney Joel Brodsky questioned the timeline of how the gun case unfolded. In February, police revoked Peterson's firearm owner's identification card after a judge ruled that his firearms should be returned because Peterson had a valid FOID card. In May, Peterson was arrested for owning the rifle on the eve of learning from the judge whether the guns could be turned over to his son Stephen, an Oak Brook police officer.

Brodsky is requesting that prosecutors turn over documents from the time leading up to the charges against his client.

"This timeline proves with more than sufficient evidence that the reason to do this is to punish Mr. Drew Peterson for exercising his constitutional rights," Brodsky said.

Peterson, who is the suspect in his missing wife's disappearance, has said she ran off. Authorities are also conducting a murder investigation in the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Peterson maintains his innocence and has said he used the rifle as a SWAT team member for the Bolingbrook Police Department.

Will County Assistant State's Atty. Dede Osterberger argued against giving the defense "privileged information."

"We strongly argue against this case, judge, because we think that the defense is engaging in a fishing expedition," she said.

Judge Richard Schoenstedt, who was battling a cold and losing his voice, said he would defer his ruling until the next scheduled hearing, on Nov. 20.

In Springfield, the state Senate voted 55-0 on a bill that could affect a potential prosecution against Peterson in the case of either one of his wives.

The bill, which is backed by the Will County state's attorney's office, would allow a judge to admit hearsay evidence into court for first-degree murder cases if the prosecution could prove that the defendant killed a witness to prevent testimony.

The Senate vote accepted a change proposed by Gov. Rod Blagojevich that would allow the legislation to become effective as soon as the House, scheduled to meet next week, votes to go along.

Peterson's wives had told family and friends that they were fearful of Peterson. Stacy Peterson also told her minister that her husband had allegedly confessed to her that he killed Savio, according to the minister.

Drew may divorce Stacy; :roll:
He talks with family law attorney
 
His fourth wife vanished more than a year ago -- and now ex-Bolingbrook cop Drew Peterson is considering making the separation official.

Peterson last week consulted with a high-profile Chicago attorney about possibly divorcing his missing 23-year-old wife, Stacy.

During the Nov. 11 meeting with family law attorney Jeffery Leving, Peterson discussed his legal options following Stacy's Oct. 28, 2007, disappearance, said Peterson's criminal defense attorney Joel Brodsky.

"All he's done is consult with him," Brodsky said. "Nothing has been finalized. No decisions have been made."

The 54-year-old Peterson has been named a suspect by police investigating Stacy's disappearance. Investigators also have reclassified as a murder the 2004 drowning death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, which originally had been ruled an accident.

Peterson has denied wrongdoing in both cases.

Under Illinois law, a divorce can be granted for desertion or abandonment after a spouse has been gone for more than a year. Peterson has contended his wife left him voluntarily.

Leving, who advertises himself as an advocate for fathers' rights in divorce actions, confirmed he met last week with Peterson, but said he hasn't been retained to represent him.

'Drew Peterson law' OKd; Move could help prosecutors in their case against former cop
 
Will County prosecutors Wednesday received a new legal weapon they can use to investigate the murder of one of Drew Peterson's wives and the disappearance of another.

But it's not clear if the measure overwhelmingly approved by the Illinois House will lead to criminal charges against the former Bolingbrook police sergeant -- or if the law will pass constitutional muster.

The change lets prosecutors use at trial so-called "hearsay" evidence from witnesses who may have been murdered by a defendant to stop them from testifying.

Pushed by Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow, the new law could apply to Peterson's missing fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, 23. State Police have labeled Drew Peterson a suspect in Stacy's "potential homicide."

A minister has contended Stacy told him Drew Peterson had killed his previous wife, Kathleen Savio.

The law might also come into play in Savio's 2004 drowning. She sent a letter to a prosecutor that said Peterson "knows how to manipulate the system, and his next step is to take my children away. Or kill me instead."

The new law left Drew Peterson unfazed as he prepared for a court appearance today on a gun charge. Peterson said he expects nothing more than "another day in beautiful downtown Joliet."

The law allows a judge to determine whether previous statements made by a murder victim could be admitted as trial evidence if prosecutors prove the defendant is responsible for the witness not being able to testify.

The law's Democratic sponsors have walked on legislative eggshells to avoid linking the ex-cop's name to the bill. Nonetheless, it is known as the "Drew Peterson bill" at the Statehouse. A GOP staff analysis goes so far as to say the legislation is "in response to the Drew Peterson case."

OTHER EXCEPTIONS IN LEGAL RULES

The new state law allowing hearsay statements from murdered witnesses to be used as evidence joins about 40 other exceptions to legal rules requiring witnesses to testify in court. Some other key exceptions are:

- Dying declaration: Statements from a dying crime victim naming his killer are typically allowed in criminal cases -- a legal practice dating back centuries.

- Child sex abuse: Children claiming to have been sexually abused aren't required to testify personally. Their statements to social workers or counselors about abuse can be admitted as evidence during trial.

- Elder abuse: Statements from elderly adults about physical abuse, neglect or financial fraud are typically allowed if the adult can't testify because of physical or mental disabilities.

Gun charges dropped against Drew Peterson
By DON BABWIN – 40 minutes ago

JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — A judge dismissed felony gun charges Thursday against Drew Peterson after prosecutors refused to hand over internal documents leading to their decision to arrest the former Bolingbrook police sergeant, who is suspected in the disappearance of his wife.

In a tense hearing, Judge Richard Schoenstedt ruled that prosecutors must comply with his order to give defense attorneys the documents, which are communication between Illinois State Police and the Will County state's attorney's office. Neither attorneys nor Schoenstedt outlined specifically what is in those documents.

Schoenstedt warned prosecutors that if they did not hand over the documents, he could dismiss the charges. Will County prosecutor John Connor refused, telling the judge he understood the consequences but saying such a move would open a "flood gate" for future cases.

"We don't want to subject every prosecutor in the country to have to turn over internal documents," he said.

Peterson and attorney Joel Brodsky said they were pleased.

"I love these guys," Peterson said, hugging his attorneys. "It's a big relief. It's a happy day."

Brodsky said it would have been unfair not to have the documents because the information was a big part of the case.

"We believe the only real reason that the state would not want to have turned over those documents is that they would helped us," he said.

Prosecutors can appeal to a state appellate court, but if they lose they cannot refile charges against Peterson, Brodsky said.

Connor said the office would appeal the decision, the latest setback for prosecutors, who have investigated Peterson for more than a year.

The felony gun charges stemmed from an investigation into the disappearance of Peterson's wife, Stacy. He was charged with owning an assault rifle with a barrel shorter than allowed by state law.

The gun was one of several weapons seized by state police investigators during a search of Peterson's Bolingbrook home after Stacy Peterson vanished on Oct. 28, 2007. Peterson, 54, is a suspect in the disappearance but has not been charged, and he has repeatedly said he thinks his wife ran off with another man.

A legal battle over the weapons ensued, with Brodsky trying to persuade the judge to order authorities to give them back to his client, just as he had successfully won a court order forcing them to return Peterson's vehicles, computers and other belongings.

But in the midst of that battle, Will County prosecutors charged Peterson with unlawful use of a weapon, contending that the assault rifle was illegal under Illinois law because the barrel was too short.

Since the charges were announced, Brodsky has contended that Peterson did not break the law because the weapons that officers use as part of their duties are exempt from the length provision.

Peterson used the weapon as part of his duties on the Bolingbrook Police Department's SWAT unit, Brodsky said.

Brodsky has also accused prosecutors of "vindictive prosecution," saying the charges were filed to punish Peterson because he prevailed in winning court orders that prosecutors had fought, including one that forced authorities to turn weapons over to Peterson's adult son.

Authorities are also investigating the death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, whose body was found in an empty bathtub in her house in 2004. After Stacy Peterson disappeared, investigators reopened the investigation of Savio's death.

Following the exhumation of her body and an autopsy, her death was reclassified as a homicide. Peterson has not been named a suspect in her death.

House passes 'Drew Peterson law'

SPRINGFIELD---The House today voted 109-0 to put into law a bill that could affect a potential prosecution against former Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson in the cases of either one of his last two wives.

The bill, which is backed by the Will County state's attorney's office, would allow a judge to admit hearsay evidence into court for first-degree murder cases if the prosecution could prove that the defendant killed a witness to prevent testimony.

The House vote followed Senate approval a week before. Their votes meant lawmakers accepted changes proposed by Gov. Rod Blagojevich that allowed the law to become effective as soon as the House approved the measure.

Peterson's last two wives had told family and friends that they were fearful of Peterson, who is a suspect in the Oct. 28, 2007, disappearance in his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson. In addition, Stacy Peterson also told her minister that her husband had allegedly confessed to her that he killed his third wife, Kathleen Savio, according to the minister.

Some "Hearsay" Testimony Now Permissable
Testimony from witnesses who are now dead can be considered at Illinois murder trials, under a new law that's now in place, with both houses of the General Assembly having accepted the governor's minor amendatory veto. The parameters of this law, an exception to hearsay rules, fit the specifics of the investigation into Drew Peterson. The former Bolingbrook police officer has been questioned in the disappearance of his wife, Stacy, more than a year ago. Authorities are also looking into the death of one of Peterson's ex-wives.

The House sponsor, State Rep. Careen Gordon (D-Coal City), says as a former prosecutor, the law is a big step for victims' rights -- and it's a law other states have adopted as well. She would not say whether the law is inspired by the headlines, not even mentioning Drew Peterson's name.

State Rep. Jack Franks (D-Woodstock) noted it's interesting Gov. Rod Blagojevich changed the law so it's effective immediately -- rather than Jan. 1, about six weeks from now. State Rep. John Fritchey (D-Chicago) also had some misgivings about a law that looks like it's motivated by one case that's in the news. Fritchey cast a "present" vote.

The governor's change to S.B. 2718 passed the House on Wednesday 109-0. The Senate accepted the amendatory veto lst week, 55-0.

The search for Stacy Peterson has moved across the border into Wisconsin. Illinois state police are speaking with officers in Fond du Lac after hunters there found the body of a young woman. The chances that the body is Peterson's are very slim, police said. The 23-year-old disappeared more than a year ago. Her husband, Drew, is considered a suspect.

Sheriff: Wis. remains unlikely missing Ill. woman
By ROBERT IMRIE | Associated Press Writer
3:29 PM CST, December 4, 2008
WAUSAU, Wis. - Deer hunters find skeletal remains buried in two remote places nearly 100 miles apart in eastern Wisconsin. Brown County investigators identify theirs quickly. Fond du Lac County officials aren't so lucky.

After nearly two weeks and inquiries from 18 law enforcement agencies, Fond du Lac County Sheriff Mick Fink said Thursday he has no leads into the young woman's identity.

"Somebody saying, 'Hey my kid is missing or my wife is missing and I think John Doe murdered her,' none of that," Fink said. "It doesn't appear to be a high profile local missing person or even statewide in Wisconsin. At this point, we don't see that."

That rules out Laurie Depies, who was 20 when she disappeared Aug. 19, 1992, from a parking lot at a town of Menasha apartment complex where her boyfriend lived. And University of Wisconsin-Green Bay student Amber Wilde, 19, who was 4 1/2 months pregnant when she vanished Sept. 23, 1998, in Green Bay.

Fink said he also doesn't think the body belongs to Stacy Peterson, the young suburban Chicago police officer's wife whose disappearance has drawn national attention.

For now, Fink calls the partially decomposed body found Nov. 23 in a creek 17 miles south of Fond du Lac "Jane Doe." He believes she's a homicide victim who's been dead months, not years.

"I am hoping the forensic people can come back with something," he said.

The Wisconsin Clearinghouse for Missing & Exploited Children & Adults listed 32 adults and 10 children as missing Thursday in Wisconsin, the longest being a Mauston woman who disappeared in 1949. Thirty have been missing since 2000.

Excluding Fond du Lac County's Jane Doe, seven other bodies found in the state since 1977 remain unidentified, the Clearinghouse said.

Fink said his detectives have identified 24 girls described as missing and exploited children in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan who "kind of fit our description" and are sorting through those.

On Wednesday, remains found by hunters Nov. 26 in a shallow grave in rural Brown County were identified as Areerat Chuprevich, a 32-year-old Allouez woman missing since April 2003. Investigators said she died of a gunshot wound to the head.

A suspect in the killing, Chuprevich's 41-year-old stepson-in-law, hung himself in prison in 2006, investigators said.

Fink said Brown County had a big advantage -- they had a person missing under suspicious circumstances and dental records to compare to the remains.

In Fink's case, all investigators know is: the remains are those of a physically mature, Caucasian woman, maybe as young as 14 or as old as 40. The cause of death is unknown, but investigators found no evidence of suicide, and there's no explanation for why she was found in an isolated, rural area.

Investigators sent insects located near the body to an expert at Purdue University who "hopefully can give us some rough time frame of how long the body has been there," Fink said.

Other forensic specialists are working to get a good sample of DNA from either her teeth or bones, the sheriff said.

Police inquiries about the remains have come from Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin, Fink said.

Illinois investigators asked whether the remains could be Peterson, the 23-year-old Bolingbrook, Ill., woman who vanished Oct. 28, 2007, Fink said.

"It is very slim, probably outside the realm of possibility, that this is Stacy Peterson," he said. "Based on their known facts and what we know."

Peterson's husband, 54-year-old Drew Peterson, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant, is a suspect in her disappearance. He has not been charged and has repeatedly said he thinks his wife ran off with another man and is alive.

Sgt. Tom Burek, a spokesman for the Illinois State Police, which is leading the Peterson investigation, said he was unaware of any inquiries made in Wisconsin. "I don't get briefed every time something is discovered," he said.

Fink said the discovery of Jane Doe's remains prompted a call from some worried parents from Hartford who hadn't heard from their daughter in a while. The lead was promising, given Hartford wasn't that far from the discovery site.

"But we found her alive and well," the sheriff said.

Thank you for keeping us updated on this case.  :) 

I have followed this case from the beginning, and survived the horrible 'forum wars of 2008' related to it.  I finally had to take a major break from all that nastyness, found Scared Monkeys, began following another case, and happy happy happy to have found a place where folks treat each other with respect.  For the most part.   ::MonkeyWink::

I do believe that Drew wants to 'divorce' Stacy so that he can hook up with his 5th wife.  Woe to her.  My heart goes out to the Peterson children and teens.  sigh.

Drew Peterson Engaged Though Still Married to Missing Wife
Wednesday, December 17, 2008

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,468348,00.html

The former police officer who is a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife and whose third wife died suspiciously in a bathtub plans to walk down the aisle for a fifth time

Drew Peterson, 54, is engaged again, his lawyer Joel Brodsky and publicist Glenn Selig confirmed Wednesday to FOXNews.com.

Though Peterson is still married to fourth wife Stacy, who was 23 when she disappeared on Oct. 28, 2007, he has found a new 23-year-old fiancée, he told author Derek Armstrong Tuesday.

Click here for photos.

"The kids have met her," Armstrong told FOXNews.com. "They like her and they know about this engagement."

Peterson had two young children, Anthony, 6, and Lacy, 4, with Stacy Peterson. The missing mother's family contends she is dead.

"Oh my God, I’m speechless," Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for Stacy Peterson's family told FOXNews.com when informed of the engagement. "History repeats itself, so I imagine that that’s the same situation he had before: He’d be involved with somebody when he was getting rid of the one before."

Armstrong said the new fiancée, whom Peterson refused to identify, lives within 15 minutes of his Bolingbrook, Ill., home. Brodsky and Selig did not identify the woman either.

Selig said the engagement happened "sometime within the last couple of days."

A sticking point for Peterson is his current marriage. Earlier this year, he met with divorce attorney Jeffery Leving to see what his rights to a split might be.

"This is not uncommon for Drew," Selig told FOXNews.com. "When he was married to Kathleen still, he was in the process of divorcing Kathleen when he proposed to Stacy. He’s done this before and, you know, he seems very happy."

Peterson has been at the center of the investigation into Stacy Peterson's whereabouts. After her disappearance, the body of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, was exhumed and her 2004 bathtub drowning death was relabeled a homicide.

Earlier this year, Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow issued a statement about the Savio and Stacy Peterson cases, indicating that a special grand jury is still weighing evidence in both.

"I fully expect there to be a resolution in at least one of these investigations in the near future," Glasgow said.

Stacy Peterson's family is pinning their hopes on that resolution.

"You’ve just got to stay focused on the investigation and hope that as the Illinois state prosecutor said, that they’ll have [it] resolved soon."

Drew Peterson Gets Engaged


Spokesman Glenn Selig said the engagement happened a few days ago. He said the woman has met Peterson's kids and they "get along well."

They are not disclosing her name due to privacy.

Speaking from his home Wednesday afternoon, Peterson told reporters that he had "no comment" on most issues -- who his fiance is, how they met, if they had set a date, if he was happy  --- but he did say that all his young female friends are now being harrassed by the press. He said he doesn't want to put anyone through that.

Selig reportedly said earlier in the day that Peterson decided to get engaged because he wants to be happy and move on with his life.

The announcement marks the fifth time Peterson has gotten engaged, and according to a divorce attorney, there's no legal issue with him getting engaged.  To remarry legally, the attorney said, all he has to do is file for dissolution of the marriage.

If his current wife, Stacy Peterson, who has been missing since October 2007, doesn't respond within 30 days, their marriage is legally over.

According to reports, Peterson said the woman has accepted. No wedding date has been set.

The former Bolingbrook police officer remains a suspect in the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. He has also been implicated in the disappearance of Stacy Peterson, and that case is still under investigation.

Peterson girlfriend packs up, walks out
 
Drew Peterson is on the market again.

The morning after his national appearance on ABC's "Nightline" -- where the 55-year-old opened up about his relationship with his 24-year-old fiance -- the woman packed her bags and moved out of his Bolingbrook home.

Christina Raines, her father, a CBS cameraman and police officers were on hand Friday as her belongings were stuffed in garbage bags, boxes and bins.

"He was starting to control her and make her completely dependent on him," said Raines' father, Ernie. "My daughter is safe now, and I'm going to keep my eyes on her."

The breakup is the latest development in Peterson's high-profile love life, which has captivated the media since his fourth wife, Stacy, went missing in October 2007. Authorities have named the former police sergeant a suspect in her disappearance. She was 23 at the time.

Police also are investigating the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, 40. Her body was found in an empty bathtub in her home. Authorities now believe she was killed.

Peterson hasn't been charged in either case.

Despite the unsolved mysteries of Peterson's wives, he has made no secret of his flirtatious escapades with the opposite -- and always much younger -- sex. One girlfriend, a 22-year-old tanning salon employee, was called before the grand jury that is investigating his wives' cases. Pictures of young, attractive women posing with Peterson in bars have surfaced on the Internet.

"I'm basically attracted to young, beautiful women with good personalities," he told "Nightline."

Peterson's wives, and his history of cheating on them, were discussed in detail on the program.

Ernie Raines said his daughter called Thursday, before "Nightline" aired but after snippets were circulating, and asked for help moving out. He said she returned the engagement ring Peterson bought her.

Raines said he thought Peterson's ABC interview sparked her decision. But during his Tribune interview, she yelled from the background: "I was leaving regardless."

The latest Peterson saga was also featured Friday on the "Dr. Phil" show. Peterson seemed bemused by the spectacle that is his love life.

"Isn't it hilarious that the citizens in the country are more interested in my love life than the impeachment of the governor?" he said. "Every time I go on a date they're more interested in that. I'm boggled. This is beyond me. It's like Drew TV."

Yes I am glad she moved out and had a father who was not afraid to be confrontational with Drew. 

I saw them on CBS this AM and she disclosed that the engagement was cooked up by Joel B, Glenn S, and Drew as a publicity stunt to keep his name in the media..I guess they figured he would get another book deal or movie deal from this. She didn't like his remarks following the press release about how he moved on once the romance was gone..smart girl...but lucky to have a smart,very caring and proactive Daddy.  Her Dad did the right thing and so did she.  Now we have one more young women gor State's Witness.

Woman claims engagement to Drew Peterson a 'stunt'

By DON BABWIN
Associated Press Writer

 CHICAGO (AP) -- A woman who recently moved out of the home of a former police sergeant suspected in his wife's disappearance says their engagement to be married was a publicity "stunt."

Christina Raines told CBS's "The Early Show" on Monday that Drew Peterson "told me that his lawyer had wanted him to be in the media and wanted to propose to someone in a restaurant."

Joel Brodsky, Peterson's lead attorney, adamantly denied Raines' allegation and said he even tried to keep the engagement quiet. Peterson did not immediately return a call for comment from The Associated Press.

The 24-year-old Raines and her father brought a television crew with them last week when they went to retrieve her belongings from Peterson's home in suburban Chicago.

In Monday's interview, Raines acknowledged that Peterson, 55, was kind to her, her children and his children. She also said she thought she loved him at one point, though she no longer does.

Raines said she was not "comfortable" discussing the investigation into the October 2007 disappearance of Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy. Authorities have named Peterson a suspect in her disappearance, which is being investigated as a possible homicide. Peterson has denied any involvement, and maintains that his wife left him for another man.

The Petersons are still legally married, although soon after the one-year anniversary of his wife's disappearance, Peterson met with an attorney to discuss filing for divorce on grounds of abandonment.

Raines said she has known Peterson since she was 15 and knew Stacy Peterson as well.

Raines also refused to discuss whether she believed Peterson was involved in the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

Peterson has not been identified as a suspect in the 2004 drowning death of Savio, but authorities did exhume her body after Stacy Peterson disappeared and reclassified her death from accidental to homicide after an autopsy. Peterson has denied any involvement in her death.

Raines and her father could not be reached for comment. There is no listed phone number for her and the number for Ernest Raines in Bolingbrook has been disconnected.

He is a pig.
I agree with both of you and his latest girlfriend was not only lucky to have an invoved parent but she's lucky to be alive! He seems to think he is the teflon killer, nothing will stick cuz he's just so smart. God willing, Stacey's remains will be discovered,although he is so arrogantly confident, makes me wonder what he could've done with her. Hoping for justice here.

Afternoon Monkeys~ I wasn't a member of SM during the time Stacy disappeared, but I was looking into different aspects anyway and found a interesting case, almost a blueprint of sorts that is so similar to the Drewpy case. I thought I would post it in hopes that it will bring hope that even this case will be solved, with or without a body, it's in the form of an email I sent to ?Chief McGury so here it is:

From: xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]
Sent: Mon 2/4/2008 5:01 PM
To:Raymond McGury
Subject: Similar case as Drew P. successfull no-body, no evidence prosecution

Hi Chief McGury, I know ISP has the Drew P case, but I ran across this very intersting case in Los Angeles County that is eerily similar to the circumstance involving Stacy Peterson.
 
1.) They both disappeared with $25,000.00 cash


Racz told detectives Louie Danoff and Frank Salerno that on the day of his wife’s disappearance, he spoke to his wife about the divorce, and he offered her $25,000 in cash to take a vacation and think things through.

http://www.laweekly.com/2007-09-20/news/former-deputy-gets-life-in-prison/

2.) Stacy's car was found at Clow airport, Ann Racz's car was found at the park and fly in Van Nuys, making it appear she flew out of the airport.
 
3.) Both Drew and John stated to family members that their wives were out "gallivanting around with $25,000 cash.

4.) John Racz was seen by neighbors following his wife the day she disappeared, well~we both know Drew had a control issue with following their wives, or having them followed.

5.) Ann Racz had just separated from her husband and intended to file for divorce 4 days before she disappeared, Stacy was seeking a divorce~freedom when whe disappeared.

6.) One weird little similarity, John Racz was arrested at the airport headed to Thailand, and according to that nut Brodsky-Stacy is in Thailand

7.) Both were police sergeants.
 
Ok, enough of that for today, I just thought you might find it interesting. I have actually e-mailed you back in November asking about the Savio will, and having a forensic document examiner look at it~I've seen those signatures and they don't look the same to me. Just my opinion though.
 
Have a great day,

xxxxxxxx

John Racz found guilty of "no body" murder of his wife 16 years ago


Racz found guilty of murder
BY ALEX DOBUZINSKIS, Staff Writer

SAN FERNANDO - In a case that had no body and no murder weapon but tore a family apart, a jury convicted a former sheriff's sergeant and schoolteacher Wednesday of murdering his wife 16 years ago.

John Racz, 61, closed his eyes as the clerk read the verdict. As the jurors reaffirmed their decision one by one, Racz shook his head slightly. He then stood up, emptied his pockets and went to jail.

Joann Racz, 31, the oldest of the couple's children and a star witness for the prosecution, expressed no relief in her father's conviction for first-degree murder.

"I'm just pretty much in shock right now," she said as she left the courthouse. "It's just really crazy, sad news. I guess if I'm going to say something - I still love my dad; I still love my mom," said Racz, who gave her 6-year-old daughter the middle names "Ann Mineko" after her mother.

Ann Racz was 42 when she disappeared in 1991, just days after filing for divorce and moving out of the family's Valencia home with the three children. Her body was never found, and investigators don't know how she died.

During the two-month trial in San Fernando Superior Court, John Racz was free on $1 million bail and was often accompanied by at

least one of his children. He now faces 25 years to life in prison when he is sentenced Sept. 14.

His attorney, Philip Israels, put his hand on his client's shoulder after the verdict.

"It was a difficult case to defend and to investigate," he said. "I always believed it was a reasonable-doubt case. My client has always maintained his innocence."

The jury of eight women and four men got the case Monday afternoon and delivered the verdict Wednesday morning.

"Two things," juror Dan Carter said. "It was the victim's life patterns - which is a big deal in this case, which convinced me she was dead on April 22 - and the actions and words of John Racz."
Juror Ram Sonthalia, 69, of Sylmar said seeing the couple's children in court had no effect on the verdict.

"We know this now - that mom is gone, and now the father will be gone, so that's a very disastrous situation for the kids," he said. "But we were not there to think about that."

Where's the body?

The main question now for some of the victim's relatives is the question prosecutors could not answer.

"Our main concern is knowing where Ann is, and unless John tells us, we're never going to know," said her brother, Joji Yoshiyama, 73, who lives in Orange County but stayed in a local hotel weekdays so he wouldn't miss any testimony.

Authorities conducted more than 30 searches for the body. They took DNA samples from relatives and last year used sonar to look for human remains in the backyard of the family home.

Prosecutors said the long and fruitless search contributed to the years of delay before authorities convened a grand jury that eventually indicted Racz last year.

But the long gap since the murder also helped persuade authorities to prosecute since it virtually assured them Ann Racz is dead.

Glenn Racz, 27, was a reluctant witness for the prosecution against his father. As the verdict was read, he sat with a blank expression, showing no emotion. He declined to comment. Later, he hugged his sobbing aunt, Ann's sister, Emi Ryan. In the years after her sister disappeared, Ryan confronted John Racz about what happened, never believing his story.

Ryan said the conviction brings justice for her Hawaiian-born sister, adding, "She can rest in peace. We won't forget."

Bad marriage

During the trial, John Racz sat stone-faced, often taking notes while witnesses testified.

Many described Ann Racz as a loving mother eager to get out of a crumbling marriage and start a new life with her high school sweetheart, Robert Russell, with whom she was having an affair.

Prosecutors said Racz killed his wife April 22, 1991, four days after she moved out with the children. She dropped them off at the family's home that day and, after talking with her husband in the driveway, left to get the kids a snack at McDonald's.

A couple of neighbors testified they saw John Racz follow his wife. The children testified she never came home.

While John Racz reported meeting with her in the following days and getting a call from her saying she was "going away to think," as the defendant described it to police, detectives could never corroborate his story.

In the years after his wife's disappearance, the former Los Angeles County sheriff's sergeant continued his job teaching public school in Compton and raising his children. He never married again and retired from teaching in 2001.

After his wife disappeared, her minivan was discovered at the Van Nuys FlyAway lot for Los Angeles International Airport. But investigators couldn't find her name on any flight manifest and concluded that her husband parked the van there as a ruse.

Former sheriff's Detective Louis Danoff, 66, was on the case originally and always kept it in mind, following leads even a few years after he retired.

"I can't believe the jury came back so quickly," said Danoff, who attended the trial daily. "I'm numb."

Dee Ann Wood of Santa Clarita was Ann Racz's friend for more than 10 years, and the two made Thursday nights at the movies a ritual. Her friend was organized and good at crafts, Wood said.

Ann Racz volunteered at church and her children's schools. On Mondays before dawn, she drove to downtown Los Angeles and bought flowers for a small business called Monday Flowers that she started for extra cash.

A post office box for that business was where she received her letters from her lover, Russell. In the last of 109 letters she wrote to him, she spoke of her excitement at splitting with her husband and strolling down Main Street in Disneyland with Russell, according to trial testimony.

Russell cried on the witness stand when he read that letter after testifying to not having spoken to her since April 21, 1991.

Jurors also heard from Nancy O'Neill, who said she saw Ann drive by a Santa Clarita intersection a few days after April 22, 1991, the date prosecutors say Ann was murdered. Prosecutors discounted O'Neill's testimony, saying she was simply wrong about the date. Other than O'Neill, no one except the defendant reported seeing her after April 22.

And while the case lacked a body and a weapon - generally considered necessities for murder convictions - Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman said it was just a matter of putting the pieces together until no other conclusion could be reached.

"Given that she had filed for divorce, moved out of her husband's house four days before she disappeared, served him with papers three days before she disappeared and told a number of her friends how afraid she was of him," Silverman said, "yeah, I think it was a fairly compelling case."

They are on the Today show right now. They hope to get married as soon as it's legally possible. June or July.

They don't plan on having children. She is only 24. She wants more kids, he doesn't want any more.

She is laughing and giggling so much. I don't know if they are lying or what.

Drew said this is NOT for publicity BUT he wouldn't say no to a Reality deal, movie deal, book deal or whatever. To build up the children's nest egg, of course. ::rolls eyes::

February 10, 2009 (WLS) -- The Illinois Appellate Court rejected Drew Peterson's appeal to keep his uncle in control of his murdered third wife's finances.

Peterson was trying to block the family of Kathleen Savio from taking control of her will and reopening her estate. Savio's family filed a wrongful death suit after Will County authorities ruled that her 2004 death was a homicide.

Peterson's attorney says he'll file a motion to reconsider its decision and may appeal to the state's Supreme Court.

Peterson is a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy.

DESERTION
Desertion is one of Illinois' twelve grounds for divorce. A spouse is not "punished" by our legal system by mere virtue of the fact that he or she deserted the marital residence. If one deserts, the other party merely gains entitlement to a ground for divorce. I use the word "merely" because we live in an era where grounds for divorce have really become a name-tag to be used in our legal system for the purposes of obtaining a divorce. Today, the importance of which ground is used is generally and greatly overshadowed by the trauma of the breakup and each party's concerns for the family and of his and her financial futures.

In order to use Desertion as a ground for divorce, the deserting spouse must have willfully deserted or absented himself or herself from the other spouse for the space of one year, including any period during which litigation (for dissolution of marriage) may have pended between the spouses. The party claiming desertion must prove the absence of the other spouse for a minimum of a year and a day and must also prove, generally by testimony, that the desertion was not caused or provoked by the party left behind.   Will they believe him?
Let's hope not.

Desertion may not be what you think it is.

Illinois case law protects the innocent spouse in a situation where he or she is forced out of the home because of the other spouse's behavior. The law will not allow the wrongdoer spouse, in this situation, to claim desertion against the innocent spouse.

All grounds and defenses thereto must be proven in Court and proof, in this regard, is generally obtained through the use of testimony of the parties.

Since more than one ground for divorce may fit a given case, the parties and their attorneys will most likely opt to use "irreconcilable differences" as a ground rather than desertion as the former implies no guilt or wrongdoing on the part of either party. The exercise of this option normally occurs after settlement has been reached.

Stepbrother Says He Thinks He Helped Drew Peterson Dispose of Wife's Body
Tuesday , March 10, 2009


Drew Peterson's stepbrother fears that he had a hand in the murder of the former Illinois police sergeant's fourth wife, Stacy Peterson — telling a Chicago-area newspaper that he helped Drew Peterson dispose of a blue barrel that may have contained Stacy's remains.

Stacy Peterson disappeared in October 2007. Her husband has been the focus of a police and grand jury investigation, but he never has been charged.

Thomas Morphey, the stepbrother, told the Herald News that he thinks Stacy, 23, was in the blue barrel that he helped remove from the Petersons' home in Bolingbrook, Ill., and put into a car.

Beforehand, Morphey told the Herald News, Peterson, 55, had come to his home to take him to a nearby store where Peterson supposedly had set up an interview for him. But instead, the two went to a park, where a conversation led him to believe Peterson was planning to murder Stacy's boyfriend, Morphey said.

Click here for photos.

“We went to that park to discuss Stacy cheating on him, and he had to take care of the problem,” Morphey told the newspaper. "I didn’t think for a minute he was going to try to kill her.”

Peterson started questioning Morphey's love for him and asked if he would kill for him.

When Morphey said no, Drew Peterson allegedly asked, "Could you live with knowing about it?"

Morphey told the newspaper that he responded, "Yeah, I guess," adding that he always figured Peterson had killed his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

Savio's death in a bathtub was ruled a homicide after initially being deemed accidental. Savio's body was exhumed and re-examined after Stacy Peterson vanished.

Morphey told the Herald News that the night after meeting Peterson in the park, he met up with Peterson, who enlisted his help with the blue barrel.

Morphey was offered immunity by police to tell them what happened that night, but has yet to tell it to a grand jury, he said.

Peterson insists Morphey is lying.

"He’s hallucinating," he told the newspaper.

Peterson Takes Battle Over Estate To High Court

CHICAGO (AP) ― 
The former Bolingbrook police sergeant suspected in the disappearance of his fourth wife is taking his fight to regain control of his third wife's estate to the Illinois Supreme Court.

The appeal filed Wednesday follows last month's appellate court ruling, which upheld a lower court's decision to take control of the estate of Kathleen Savio away from Drew Peterson and give it to Savio's father and sister.

Peterson has denied any wrongdoing in the disappearance of Stacy Peterson, and he hasn't been named a suspect in Savio's 2004 death.

But after Stacy Peterson's 2007 disappearance, Savio's body was exhumed and her death was reclassified from accidental to a homicide.

Peterson's lawyer, Joel Brodsky, says he thinks the court will agree that the appellate court made errors in reaching its decision.

from what I remember hearing, I think that the step brother helped load the barrel into a vehicle...
from the news that I heard, the step brother is not very believable...or credible...
but who could make up such a thing about a specific blue barrel? I suppose people could...
however, I think that Drew could have finagled the barrel with Stacy in it by himself...he is a big enough guy to lift it himself I think..thus not having any witnesses...jmo

Bikerbev,

I saw the same thing and it has been bothering me ever since!  I waited for an explanation of the pic, but to no avail.  So many questions on this.  Do you recall which news show it was?  Did TES photograph this during one of the earlier searches before they realized the signifigance of a blue barrel?  Did they open the barrell and there was nothing there?  Did they go back to find the barrell after realizing its signifigance and it was gone???

Drew Peterson Says He Tells His Children Their Mother Isn't Coming Home
Thursday , April 23, 2009



Drew Peterson made an apparent slip Thursday on "Good Day Chicago" on the city's FOX affiliate, suggesting inexplicably that his fourth wife is gone forever.

During an interview on the morning show, he said that he tells his children their mother, Stacy Peterson, is on vacation and is not coming back.

When asked, "Why do you say she's not coming back," Peterson, a suspect in his wife's disappearance, first denied making the comment. Then, when pressed, he said it was merely a slip of the tongue.

Click here for photos.

Stacy Peterson disappeared in October 2007. Drew Peterson has been the focus of a police and grand jury investigation, but he has not been charged.

The death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, in a bathtub was ruled a homicide after initially being deemed accidental. Savio's body was exhumed and re-examined after Stacy Peterson vanished.

Authorities have not identified him as a suspect in Savio's death. Peterson has denied any involvement in either case.

On Tuesday, his attorney, Joel Brodsky, reiterated Peterson's innocence after Savio's family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against him, alleging the former Chicago-area police sergeant drowned her in the bathtub.

Now he is pimping his children on TV. Unfreakinbelieveable!!

BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS/ AP) -- Despite assertions in a wrongful death lawsuit filed this week that Drew Peterson killed his third wife, Kathleen Savio, their son says he "highly" doesn't believe Peterson killed his mother.

 

Thomas Peterson, 16, also says Drew is the "greatest dad in the world."

Thomas, his 14-year-old brother, Kristopher, and Drew appeared on The Early Show Friday, along with the lawyer representing Savio's family, John Q. Kelly.

The suit, filed on behalf of Savio's estate, claims Peterson, a former Bolingbrook, Ill. police sergeant, drowned Savio in her bathtub in 2004.

Savio's family has long voiced suspicions about the circumstances surrounding her 2004 death, especially following the disappearance of Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, in October 2007.

Peterson has been named a suspect in Stacy's disappearance, but hasn't been charged. Authorities haven't identified him as a suspect in Savio's death.

Peterson has denied any involvement in either case, and his attorney, Joel Brodsky, this week reiterated Peterson's innocence.

Savio's death, initially classified as an accidental drowning, was reclassified as a homicide after her body was exhumed and another autopsy conducted following Stacy Peterson's disappearance.

The lawsuit, filed by Savio's father and sister, was widely expected. Many of the allegations in it have been reported in the media since Stacy Peterson vanished.

The suit, filed in Will County, Ill., seeks more than $100,000 and alleges Peterson killed Savio before a scheduled trial over the divorced couple's property.

But Kelly told Early Show co-anchor Julie Chen Savio's father, Henry Savio, and sister, Anna Doman, don't stand to gain "one penny from the suit. "They have no financial interest in the lawsuit whatsoever. It's only for the estate and Kathleen's two minor children."

If the suit succeeds, Kelly explained, "All the assets that should have gone to the children originally, all the marital assets and things like that, would be properly segregated for the children. And Mr. Peterson would be taken to task and labeled for what he had done, causing (Savio's) death."

Peterson was given control over various assets "to use at his discretion, rather than segregate it to his children," Kelly noted.

Thomas Peterson told Chen he thinks the suit is "ridiculous. Because what they're trying to do, they're trying to take money from my dad and basically give it back to us. Now, do the math. He's got everything put into us as it is. So it just doesn't make sense to me."

Thomas says he doesn't remember ever even meeting his grandfather, Henry Savio, and hasn't seen his aunt, Doman, in six years, adding, "They've made no attempt of contacting me. So I haven't really seen them."

He also came to the defense of his father, saying, "Accidents happen all the time" and "I highly do not believe that my dad had murdered my mom. Because, first off, he wasn't there, he was with us during that period of time. I don't know what else to say. I don't believe it."

Thomas and Kristopher live with Drew, and Thomas says the intense media focus on Drew has been difficult to deal with: "It's been crazy, like, with the news media in front of my house all the time. And like, there really hasn't been much of an impact ever since my mom died, because nothing could be worse than that. But it's just made my childhood much harder."

As are, he said, suggestions that Drew killed Savio. "That's just making it even worse," Thomas remarked. "I'm seeing a lot of the world and a lot of the people's true motives."

What does he want to say to the public about his father?

"I would say that he's the greatest dad in the world. Not a lot of people know that. People see the news all the time and what everyone has portrayed him to be. But to our family -- no one could ask for a better dad."

Drew Peterson told Chen a woman who claimed at one point to be engaged to become his fifth wife no longer lives with him.

And Kelly, the lawyer for the Savios, added, "By all accounts these young men loved their mother. Their mother loved them. To see them thrust on national television to talk about her untimely death right now is unsettling, too."

He also noted that the family will probably wait for the results of a grand jury probe of Savio's death before pursuing the suit any further.

Drew Peterson case: Stolen files reportedly unearth new Peterson details
Files reportedly include timeline of what investigators think happened to Stacy Peterson

By Erika Slife | Tribune reporter
April 30, 2009

Fox News reported Wednesday night that documents stolen from an Illinois State Police car and dropped off at the station reveal new information in cases involving former Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson.

The information includes a timeline of what investigators think happened to his fourth wife, Stacy, who disappeared in October 2007, a list of 59 leads and the police report from the night his third wife, Kathleen Savio, died.

The documents include information already made public, but with new details reportedly indicating Stacy was dead by 10:59 a.m. the day she vanished. That night, investigators alleged, Peterson removed the body with his stepbrother in a "large blue round plastic container weighing approximately 150 pounds with [a] screw-on top with clear plastic protruding from outside."

Investigators believe Peterson may have disposed of Stacy's body in a quarry in the Bolingbrook area, according to the files. Wednesday, state police searched the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal in Romeoville and Lockport for evidence connected to Stacy's disappearance.

Peterson is the suspect in Stacy's disappearance. Authorities are also taking a second look at the March 2004 death of Savio. Peterson has not been charged in either case and denies wrongdoing.

Peterson said he didn't know the specifics of what Fox would air but said he wasn't worried. "Any timeline they have is purely speculative," he said.

Peterson and attorney Joel Brodsky said they were to meet with Fox last week about the files, but it never materialized because Brodsky wanted to see them first.

A spokesman for Will County State's Atty. James Glasgow said the documents will not compromise the cases or pressure Glasgow to file charges before the investigations are done.

Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal searched
April 30, 2009
By JOE HOSEY

ROMEOVILLE — The state police took to the water Wednesday in what a source said was a search for the remains of missing mom Stacy Peterson.

State police Sgt. Thomas Burek confirmed his agency had undertaken an operation on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, but would not say why.

"We did some searches," he said. "We're not commenting on what we're searching for."

But a source said she learned from an employee at a nearby business that state police said they were searching the canal as part of the Peterson probe.

Peterson vanished from her Bolingbrook home in October 2007. The state police consider her the victim of a "potential homicide" and have named her husband, Drew Peterson, their sole suspect in the case.

The state police have searched the canal before, beginning soon after Stacy's disappearance.

A police source said cell phone records placed Peterson near the canal only hours before Stacy was reported missing by her sister.

Police Search Canal for Clues in Stacy Peterson Case

<snipped>
Since her disappearance in October of 2007, the focus of the investigation has been on her retired police officer husband, Drew. His attorney, Joel Brodsky, called Wednesday's search a waste of time.

"They did it all last summer," Brodsky said. They're doing it again, so I don't think it's of any significance."

But the spokeswoman of Stacy Peterson's family said that it's searches like these that give the family hope.

"I think what we can take from that is that they're still considering this a very important investigation, and that it's very active," said family spokeswoman Pam Bosco. "We believe she can be found yet, and so we want to put all our efforts into doing our searches. Yet we believe that eventually we will find Stacy."

Brodksy said that the search, coupled with an apparent leak of internal police documents about the day Stacy disappeared is an attempt to bait Drew Peterson into making a mistake. To Brodsky, that document is a detective's hour-by-hour timeline of what Drew Peterson was doing the day Stacy Peterson disappeared.

"I think that the state may be doing both of these things on the same day in order to provoke some sort of reaction from Drew," Brodsky said. "It's time for authorities to start pursuinig the possibility that Drew Peterson is telling the truth when he says Stacy ran away."

Stacy's sis attacks Drew in radio rant; 'You killed her. You will pay. The truth will be told in court'
 
Drew Peterson's last morning radio appearance apparently was too much for the sister of Stacy Peterson to bear.

Cassandra Cales, the missing woman's sister, called in to the Mancow Muller radio show on WLS-AM (890) Wednesday and lit into Drew Peterson, calling him a killer in a profanity-punctuated tirade. The off-air chat was recorded and aired Thursday.

"You killed her after she got off the phone," Cales barked at Peterson. "You will pay. I know what happened, I told the State Police. Drew knows. It's not for the public's eyes. The truth will be told in court."

Peterson has not been charged in connection with the 2007 disappearance of Stacy Peterson, his fourth wife. She reportedly spoke with a mutual friend of hers and Cales on her cell phone just before she vanished.

Peterson, who has said he believes his wife ran off with another man, has been a regular guest on the Mancow show over the last few months. But Wednesday's taping veered from the usual light-hearted banter.

Besides claiming Peterson murdered her sister, Cales accused Drew Peterson of keeping Stacy Peterson's young son and daughter away from Cales.

Drew Peterson claimed he does not want the children around Cales because of her poor driving record. He also explained that Cales was involved in a high-speed chase during which the police "had to Taser her down to bring her to justice."

Cales laughed that off and returned to calling Peterson a killer, and possibly worse, before hanging up.

"My friend talked to my sister at 10:15 a.m.," Cales said. "She was laying in bed, and Drew wasn't in bed. Where were you Drew? You killed her after she got off the phone, you piece of [bleep]."

Here is the timeline created by author and Herald News reporter Joe Hosey, based on his articles for the newspaper and his true crime sensation, "Fatal Vows: The Tragic Wives of Sergeant Drew Peterson."


All times are approximate.
Sunday, Oct. 28, 2007

3 to 4 a.m.: Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson skipped out of his shift early, by his own admission, and returned home. He joined his sleeping wife in bed.

9 a.m.: Peterson's children woke him up. Peterson said he "believes" his wife Stacy was still in the house, but due to his sleepy state, did not fully trust his memory. Peterson did recollect his wife telling him she was leaving to help Bruce Zidarich, a friend of her sister, Cassandra Cales, paint the home of her brother, Yelton Cales, in Yorkville.

10:15 a.m.: Zidarich spoke on the phone with Stacy, for what turns out to be the last time. He said she sounded "depressed" and told him she had been lounging in bed. Stacy never showed up to paint.

11:55 a.m.: The Petersons' next-door-neighbor, Sharon Bychowski, said she called the Peterson home to offer the children some lollipops she had bought. Peterson's then-13 year old son Kristopher answered. Bychowski said Kristopher sounded disoriented and stumbled on his words. Peterson then took the phone, she said, and told her Stacy went to visit her grandfather and to run some errands.

1:15 p.m.: Peterson took three of his children, Kristopher, Anthony, then 4, and Lacy, then 2, over to Bychowski's house and asked her to watch them.

1:30 p.m.: Peterson returned and collects his children.

2 p.m.: Bychowski called Stacy's cell phone. The call went straight to voice mail. Bychowski found this highly unusual.

2:30 p.m.: Peterson called in sick from his shift that evening.

7 p.m.: Drew Peterson picked up his stepbrother, Thomas Morphey, from his home a few minutes away and headed to a Bolingbrook Starbucks. Peterson related to Morphey that he is having problems with his much younger fourth wife, Stacy, and asks for Morphey's help. Peterson drove Morphey to a nearby park, gave him his cell phone and left him there.

7:45 p.m.: Peterson's cell phone, left in Morphey's possession, rang. It showed Stacy's name on the caller ID. A second call came in soon after in the same manner.

8:30 p.m.: Peterson returned to the park, picked up Morphey and headed to the Peterson home.

8:40 p.m.: Morphey and Peterson carried a blue barrel downstairs from the master bedroom to the driveway and Peterson's Yukon Denali.

8:50 p.m.: Peterson dropped Morphey at his home.

9 p.m.: Peterson claimed Stacy called his cell phone to inform him she met another man and has abandoned her family.

10 p.m.: Morphey walked down the street to his friend Walter Martineck's house. He told Martineck he believes he helped dispose of Stacy Peterson's body.

11 p.m.: Cassandra Cales drove to the Peterson house. She found the driveway empty of vehicles. Cales spoke with Kristopher, who told her Peterson and Stacy fought, Stacy has left, and his father is out looking for her.

11:15 p.m.: Cales called Peterson's cell phone from the parking lot of a department store near the Peterson home. Cales said Peterson sounded out of breath and told her he was at his home. Cales said she had been outside his house shortly before she made the call and Peterson was nowhere to be found.

11:40 p.m.: Cales went to the Downers Grove Police Department to seek advice. She was sent to the Bolingbrook Police Department.

Midnight: Cales went to the Bolingbrook Police Department to report her sister missing.
Monday, Oct. 29, 2007

2:30 a.m.: Cales drove by the Peterson home again and saw both the Denali and Stacy's Pontiac Grand Prix in the driveway.

4 a.m.: Cales went to the state police District 5 headquarters in Lockport and reported her sister missing again. Later that morning, the state police took over the investigation from the Bolingbrook police.

Drew to sub for Blago on 'Cathouse'?
Comments

May 6, 2009
By Joe Hosey, Sun-Times News Group

Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich is unwilling to do a reality show in a Nevada brothel.

But there's always Drew Peterson.

Glen Selig - the man handling publicity for both Blagojevich and Peterson - said he plans to enter talks about having one client substitute for another as a prospective guest star on the HBO program "Cathouse."

The show gives viewers an inside look at the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, a legal brothel outside of Reno," according to the HBO Web site. The ranch features more than 500 licensed "bunnies," its Web site says.

The owner of the ranch, Dennis Hof, was willing to negotiate with Peterson but really has his heart set on getting Blagojevich out to his brothel. While his dream appears unlikely to come true, Hof still was holding out hope Tuesday.

"It's not dead on our part," he said of a deal to land Blagojevich. "We're going to entice him to come out here, offer him money and (sex) and everything."

But all the offers in the world won't be enough to get Blagojevich to do the show, Selig said.

"The governor's not doing it," he said. "It's just not appropriate."

But Selig believes it might be right up Peterson's alley.

"(Hof) did put it out there that he wants Drew," Selig said. "We're going to talk to (Hof) about it."

Peterson, 55, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant, is a married man, but his wife, Stacy Peterson, has been missing since October 2007. Illinois State Police have named Peterson their sole suspect in her disappearance and consider the case a "potential homicide."

Peterson's previous wife, Kathleen Savio, was the victim of a "certain homicide" in March 2004 when she was found dead in an empty bathtub in her Bolingbrook house, shortly before her divorce from Peterson would be finalized. State police still are trying to sort that case out.

Selig conceded that quite a bit must be worked out before Peterson would appear on "Cathouse."

"On the surface, it sounds like something he'd be excited about," Selig said. "But we don't know what it entails."

CHICAGO (WBBM) - Could the next stop for Drew Peterson be a reality show about a brothel?

The show: HBO's "Cathouse," about a legal brothel in Nevada, the Moonlite Bunny Ranch.

Dennis Hof, the owner, wanted to hire Rod Blagojevich as his apprentice.  But the ex-governor's publicist says he's turning it down.

The publicist, Glenn Selig, also handles Drew Peterson.

And Bunny Ranch owner Dennis Hof tells Newsradio 780 he may be ready to offer Peterson the gig.

"You know, I think I might as well just stay in that Chicago area.  I think I'm going to go after Drew Peterson.  He doesn't have an old lady now; at least they can't find her.  He might as well be on my show and have some fun with the girls."

Peterson's publicist Glenn Selig says... maybe so.

"Drew Peterson has made no secret of his desire to be around women and his dating, so this might be something he might be interested in exploring."

Selig says Peterson has received no formal offer from "Cathouse" yet.

May 7, 2009

By JOE HOSEY jhosey@scn1.com
BOLINGBROOK – Authorities arrested Drew Peterson Thursday near his Bolingbrook home for the murder of his third wife Kathleen Savio, according to police sources.

Police took Peterson into custody at Weber and Lilly Cache roads.


Savio, 40, was found dead in a dry bathtub in her Bolingbrook home in March 2004.

At the time, Illinois State Police failed to find anything suspicious and her death was ruled an accidental drowning by a coroner’s jury.

After Peterson’s fourth wife, Stacy, then 23, disappeared in October 2007, officials reclassified Savio’s death as a homicide and gave the state police another opportunity to figure out who did her in.

Savio’s body was exhumed from its grave. An autopsy conducted in November 2007 determined Savio was the victim of a homicide.

Peterson wasn’t named a suspect in Savio’s death, but state police determined Stacy's disappearance is a "potential homicide" and say Peterson is a suspect in the case.

He has been indicted w/one count of murder for his 3rd wife.

Last I heard, arrangements have been made well in advance, and all four (the two small kids and the two teens) were to go and live with Drew's son.  He is blood related to all four.  I still think the more appropriate placement (age-wise and responsible etc) would be with Paul and his wife, Drew's brother and sister-in-law.  Nothing "funny" going on with either of them.  But Drew's son??  eeeeeeek!   ::MonkeyEek::

Peterson arrested on murder warrant
May 7, 2009 6:47 PM | 15 Comments | UPDATED STORY

Former Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson was arrested today in the death of his ex-wife, Kathleen Savio, who was found drowned in an empty bathtub in March 2004, according to Will County State's Atty. James Glasgow.

Authorities have scheduled an 8:30 p.m. news conference at state police District 5 headquarters near Joliet.

Will County state's attorney's office spokesman Chuck Pelkie confirmed Peterson was arrested about 5:40 p.m. during a traffic stop at Lily Cache Lane and Weber Road in Bolingbrook in connection with an indictment in the murder of Savio.

When reached early Thursday evening, Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, said he was unaware of the arrest.

"You know more than I do. I'm on a plane it's taking off in 5 minutes to go to NYC. I guess they'll have a bond hearing Monday," he said.

On March 1, 2004, Savio, 40, was discovered by neighbors in her Bolingbrook home in an empty bathtub with a 1-inch gash on the back of her scalp.

Savio and Peterson were divorced but the details of the divorce settlement were weeks away from being finalized when she died.

An autopsy at the time determined she drowned, and a coroner's jury ruled months later--based largely off the testimony of state police--that the death was accidental.

Authorities reopened Savio's case after Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, disappeared in October 2007.

The next month, Savio's remains were exhumed, and in February 2008, Will County State's Atty. James Glasgow said the second autopsy determined her death was a homicide. He classified the case as a murder investigation.

While authorities never named Peterson a suspect in her death, the same Will County grand jury that had been investigating Stacy Peterson's death was also investigating the Savio case.

Last month, relatives representing Savio's estate filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Peterson seeking in excess of $300,000 for causing her death, losses arising from it and the injuries she suffered prior to her murder.

The attorney for Savio's family, Martin Glink, said the family was pleased authorities were able to put together a case.

"We feel validated. I spoke with Sue Doman and she was very relieved that at long last her sister will get some measure of justice," Glink said.

"The family has waited five years for this moment. They feel grateful at all the efforts of the investigators and state police and state's attorneys involved," Glink said.

Glink said the lawsuit will be put on hold while the criminal case unfolds. He said once the criminal case is resolved, their case can proceed more expeditiously.

"We're ecstatic," Kathleen Savio's brother, Henry, said when reached this evening.  "We're really happy. Drew's arrested and we're really happy."

Savio, 50, said Illinois State Police called the family to let them know the arrest was taking place.

"We didn't really know too much what was going on. We wanted it to go this way and it did. It's been hard on my family, hard on my kids, my daughter has nightmares, I've had nightmares about this guy. It's a miracle. We feel like opening up champagne right now. But we know it's a long road ahead, but at least we're one step ahead right now," Henry Savio said.

He said his sister is on his mind.

"I think my sister is smiling and saying good, it's about time. It's about time. I feel sorry for her kids, my nephews. They're always in our hearts," he said.

Peterson, 55, was a 29-year veteran of the Bolingbrook Police Department. After his current wife disappeared, he was suspended from the department and he submitted his resignation shortly afterward. He draws a $6,068 monthly pension.

The saga captured the attention of the national media, which scrutinized every development in the investigation, including Peterson's love life, who openly dated young women and once had a 24-year-old woman he called his fiance move in with him for a short time.

Drew Peterson was supposed to fly to Reno on Friday to spend a weekend at the famous Moonlite BunnyRanch, where he was expected to meet owner Dennis Hof to talk about job possibilities.

Hof had said earlier Thursday that planned to offer Peterson a job as head of security at the Nevada brothel.

When reached at his Bolingbrook home early Thursday afternoon, Peterson declined to comment.

Poor little kids.


Fox said the children and the "girlfriend" was removed by the police from the home. It didn't go more into it than that. Are Drew's parents alive?

I hope Kathy's and Stacey's family will fight for them.

Well, they've already had this fight long ago, cuz Drew wrote up "plans" on what to do with his kids if this should ever happen.  First thing he did was to hand over a grip of money to his son, to care for the kids if necessary.  That set off the sparks among Kathy and Stacy's families, who of course, wanted the opportunity to have the kids.  Stacy sister Cass would take them in a heartbeat.  But it seems that Drew was gonna have none of that.  It came down to a choice between his son and Paul his brother. 

Drew's parents are elderly, not able to take the kids.  Drew's son/wife are newlyweds, in their late 20s.  Drew's brother Paul/wife of course are older, and have a son the same age as one of the teens.  But Drew picked his son.  His son, mom and maybe still one aunt are the only ones who are "on Drew's side" in his own family.  The rest are afraid of him and have been walking on eggshells for yearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs.  They were, by the way, helpful in gaining that indictment against him. 

You can betcha the families of Kathy and Stacy will still try to fight Drew's decision on the placement of his kids, now that an arrest has finally been made.  Paul may even join in that fight, anything anyone except for Drew's son.  No one could do a dang thing until now.   ::MonkeyNoNo::

State Police have taken Drew Peterson into custody after he was indicted today on murder charges.

The arrest happened as Peterson pulled away from his Bolingbrook home just after 5:30 p.m. He was taken from his car and arrested without incident.

Authorities took Peterson into custody for the murder of his third wife Kathleen Savio, according to police sources.

Savio, 40, was found dead in a dry bathtub in her Bolingbrook home in March 2004.

Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow and Illinois State Police scheduled an 8:30 p.m. press conference in Lockport to discuss Peterson's indictment.

I wonder if the small children are with Stacey's family, or what arrangements have been made for them.  It seems the family were not allowed to see the children and the would seem unfamiliar to the kiddies now.
Poor little kids.


Fox said the children and the "girlfriend" was removed by the police from the home. It didn't go more into it than that. Are Drew's parents alive?

I hope Kathy's and Stacey's family will fight for them.

Well, they've already had this fight long ago, cuz Drew wrote up "plans" on what to do with his kids if this should ever happen.  First thing he did was to hand over a grip of money to his son, to care for the kids if necessary.  That set off the sparks among Kathy and Stacy's families, who of course, wanted the opportunity to have the kids.  Stacy sister Cass would take them in a heartbeat.  But it seems that Drew was gonna have none of that.  It came down to a choice between his son and Paul his brother. 

Drew's parents are elderly, not able to take the kids.  Drew's son/wife are newlyweds, in their late 20s.  Drew's brother Paul/wife of course are older, and have a son the same age as one of the teens.  But Drew picked his son.  His son, mom and maybe still one aunt are the only ones who are "on Drew's side" in his own family.  The rest are afraid of him and have been walking on eggshells for yearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs.  They were, by the way, helpful in gaining that indictment against him. 

You can betcha the families of Kathy and Stacy will still try to fight Drew's decision on the placement of his kids, now that an arrest has finally been made.  Paul may even join in that fight, anything anyone except for Drew's son.  No one could do a dang thing until now.   ::MonkeyNoNo::
 
Hi Wyks, WTH does he have any say on where the kids go? Seriously, why would the state turn over the kids to someone that he picked? TIA JSM

Hi!!  Wow!!  Long time no see!  Great to be posting with you again!   ::MonkeyWink::

You are exactly right!  It sure is something we kicked around a LOT back when he was trying to "make arrangements" for the kids.  Guess he figured then this day would come!  heeeee.  The thing we'll all be watching now, is to see if it actually works, HIS plans for those kids.  Not many, including family members all around, think that HE should be able to have that say.  It will be interesting to watch it play out. 

I just want for the kids to be able to stay together, cuz to seperate them at this point, amongst the various families, IMO would be too hard on them.  The kids are very close, younger and teens together.  They've had to be there for each other.  The older two have very nearly raised the two younger ones in the past couple of years.

Agree with y'all on that smirk.   ::MonkeyDevil::

Like other monkeys have reported, Shepard Smith says Drew was indicted on one count of murder of Savio.  Am wondering if there will even be a bond allowed?  Please please NO bond!  Cuz there's a grip of money sitting in his son's hands meant "for the kids" that just might have been intended to be used to bail him out instead.  Knowing them.

Does anyone know if there will be live streaming from any station for the news conference?? I am thinking that will be 8:30 CST, right?

I thought I read on one of the news sites that the children were in police custody. Does Drew really get a choice in where they go? TYIA

I know it has been a long time. My brain can't take but one sad story at a time. I would love for the kids to be placed all together with a family member. My only problem is that Drew Peterson picked the family member the kids would be with. I know nothing really about the family dynamics in this case, but I would hope the state would override any "wishes" Drew Peterson has if it would cause harm to the children or the case. Thanks for answering me Wyks. I hope you and your family are doing very well. I know you went through a rough patch a while back. Thanks for the info and Hugs JSM  ::MonkeyWink::

I hear ya JSM, my brain has to shift gears and I cannot take too much at once either.  Stacy and Kathy's cases tho have been in my heart from the getgo, I know wayyyyy more than I need to about them.  It's sooooo very sad.  I am elated with Kathy's family at this news.  And hopeful for Stacy's family cuz this means one step closer to justice for Stacy.  And my heart goes out so much to sev. of Drew's own family, as well as the kids of course.  Also for Drew's son, (the younger of the young adult sons), my heart breaks.  He has been estranged from Drew for many many years, since Kathy's death, for his own reasons.  IMO, he knew.  And had great difficulty with that knowledge.  Sigh.  I hope that Drew never sees the light of day again. 

And thanks hun, family is doing well now.  Have pulled the 'tough love' routine with my oldest son, we all moved out.  Haven't seen or heard from him in this time.  Course it feels like we're all just waiting for the other shoe to fall, ya know?  And especially hard this weekend tho.  Cuz it's just not 'supposed' to be this way.  Sigh.  But we're very grateful to be alive to be celebrating Mother's Day, even if that is with one less son and one less grandson atm.   Bittersweet.  ::MonkeyWaa::   

Hope you are doing well JSM!  It's soooo good to see you again!   ::MonkeyWink::

Wyks thanks for answering me back. I didn't know that one of the son's has be estranged from him. I bet it is a good day in his mind that Drew was arrested.

Back to you. I understand the tough love stuff. Went through it with my brother and his crazy gf about 6 or 7 years ago. My mom would get so sad at holidays, so I know exactly how you feel. Not in the mom way, but in the daughter way looking at her mom missing a son and a sister missing her baby brother that she adored with all her heart. You are doing the right thing.

I am glad to say that my brother finally got his sense back in him, has a job working for my uncle and totally adores his family again. I am sorry being off topic here, I just wanted Wyks to know that things change and my prayers are with my old friend Wyks. TIA JSM

I'm very glad to hear the good news about your brother.  There is hope yet then, eh? 

And yes, this is the younger of Drew's two oldest sons, in their late 20s now.  The oldest son is the one Drew picked to take care of his four youngest kids.  Not only has the one son estranged himself from Drew, but all of the family as well, except for one person that he evidently does stay in touch with from time to time.  It must be a very lonely life for him, yet probably a choice he felt he needed to make.  Both the oldest sons reportedly were close to Kathy.  IMO, major therapy will be needed by all those children!

I remember them going to my dad's and asking to take a shower because they were sleeping in their truck. My stepmom called me and asked if I thought it was bad she pulled all her jewelry out of the bathroom before they went in there.

No back on track. I feel bad for the youngest of the oldest sons. Too bad the state didn't let him have the younger kids. I know growing up I wasn't too close to my step mom, but if something had happened to her, I would be her advocate. I'm about to go to bed and pray for Stacy and Kathy Salvio and the children.

I guess as hard as it is to do, one must always try to keep hope alive.  Am so happy for you and family that things worked out for the best, JSM.  A true modern day miracle! 

Am with you, I'd be an advocate in that situation as well.  Sometimes the quietest ones in a family are the best advocates for the victim/s, no matter what it may appear like to others.  I think there will be many surprises for the public when this thing gets all played out at trial.  Thank goodness we are several steps closer to that now! 

When they say 20 million bond, does that mean 10% of 20 million is needed to bail him out?   ::MonkeyEek::  And if so, since I am horrid at math, what does that boil down to in cold hard cash? 

Am thinking this fool might just make bail by having his son sell Drew's itty bitty plane, his bike/s, car/s, all his fun toys, and house, etc.  He may have been quietly putting everything in his son's name all this time, who knows.  He's already sold Stacy's car, didn't he?  Can't remember.  Sure wouldn't put it past Drew to be out and smirking for the camera by the weekend at the latest!

I am SO VERY HAPPY to see this, it's been a long time coming!!
I watched a clip the other night from some interview he did, cannot remember who was doing it, but they asked Drew what he told his children when they asked about their mother. He said, he told them she went on vacation and was never coming back. When the interviewer asked him how he knew she wouldn't be coming back, he started stuttering and backpedalling... "NO, no,... did I say that?... No, I didn't say that... I meant to say...." It was hysterical.. he shot himself in the foot with that one. He's as guilty as sin, and I hope he dies a horrible death in prison!
Twenty million bail... WOW!

I've created a new thread for Drew's arrest.  Since this happens to be more about Kathleen than Stacy (for the moment). 

http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=5036.0

I've also changed the name of the forum to indicate it's actually about both women Stacy and Kathleen.

Body Found In Des Plaines River
CHICAGO 
Illinois State police said a body was found Wednesday afternoon in the Des Plaines River near the Big Basin Marina.

The marina is near the Interstate 55 bridge over the river near Channahon.

CBS 2's Mike Puccinelli reports workers who found the body described it as a woman that was partially clothed. That is not yet confirmed.

There are also conflicting reports as to the amount of remains that were present.

Authorities have searched the same area in the past for Stacy Peterson, the missing fourth wife of Drew Peterson.

However, the remains have not been identified, and there is no reason to believe today's discovery is connected to the Peterson case.

Could be Lisa Stebic. Chicago Tribune says:

Authorities were working this afternoon to identify the badly decomposed body of a woman pulled from the Des Plaines River near Channahon.

Meanwhile, as investigators worked at the Big Basin Marina, where the body was discovered, the families of two missing suburban women were waiting for word on whether the discovery might yield some resolution in their relatives' disappearances.

"We've been called," said Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for the family of Stacy Peterson, who disappeared from Bolingbrook in October 2007. "We're in contact by phone. We're just waiting to hear more information. For confirmation though, they said it's going to be a little bit of time.  Obviously we're anticipating that it could be anyone - you know, Lisa Stebic is missing too -- but we just want an answer of who this woman is."

Stebic's family also was aware of the grisly discovery and was waiting for word from Illinois State Police officials, who are conducting the investigation.

"We haven't heard anything from Illinois State Police -- yet," said Melanie Greenberg, a spokeswoman for Stebic's family. "But it could be anybody; there are several missing women. But the location is just south, not very far away. [If it is her], the overwhelming feeling would be relief that we found her and that there is resolution. And we'd finally be able to put her to rest."

Stebic was last seen in Plainfield in April 2007. Plainfield police investigators are in contact with state police investigators, said public information officer Jim Caliendo.

"We're just letting them do their thing -- at this point we're not sure if it's even connected with our case or not," he said. "If we do get that information, we'll send an investigator out."

A barge crew discovered the remains of a female Wednesday afternoon in the Des Plaines River prompting speculation that it could be one of two missing Will County women, Stacy Peterson or Lisa Stebic.

Witnesses said it was around 2 p.m. that a barge crew discovered the remains -- not an intact body -- near the south shore after spending the past four days clearing logs and debris, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

The remains were found in the Big Basin Marina, located near the bridge on I-55 near the southwest suburb, an area where previous searches have been conducted in that area for both Peterson and Stebic.

"We've been called," said Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for the Peterson family.  Petersion disappeared from Bolingbrook in October 2007. "We're in contact by phone. We're just waiting to hear more information. For confirmation though, they said it's going to be a little bit of time.  Obviously we're anticipating that it could be anyone - you know, Lisa Stebic is missing too -- but we just want an answer of who this woman is."

DNA needed to identify woman's body
Comments


May 20, 2009

From Staff Reports
CHANNAHON TOWNSHIP — A barge crew discovered female human remains Wednesday afternoon in the Des Plaines River, prompting speculation that Stacy Peterson or Lisa Stebic may have been found.

Witnesses said it was around 2 p.m. that a barge crew discovered the remains — not an intact body — near the south shore after spending the past four days clearing logs and debris.

A source said the remains looked like that of a smallish female wearing underwear, but that DNA testing likely would be required for a positive ID.

State police have taken over the investigation and confirmed remains were found, but would not release any other information Wednesday evening.

Peterson's family called

Relatives of missing Bolingbrook mother Stacy Peterson said they've been contacted by state police, who told them a woman's body has been found in the river near Channahon, though the remains have not been identified.

"We don't know who it is," said Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for Stacy Peterson's family. "We're just being patient right now. We're waiting."

She believes there won't be any definitive word Wednesday about the identity of the body.

And Bosco said relatives realize the remains could be those of another woman, possibly missing Plainfield resident Lisa Stebic or someone else.

Bosco said Stacy Peterson's family members just hope the remains can be identified so a family somewhere can learn the fate of a missing loved one.

"We just hope they can identify who it is," Bosco said.

Boating to scene

The cleanup crew made their grisly find approximately three-quarters of a mile west of the Interstate 55 bridge, near the Big Basin Marina.

The shore area is only accessible by boat, so investigators spent time shuttling down the river from the boat launch at the marina on the river's north side.

State police and Braidwood canine units were called to the scene. Channahon and Illinois conservation police were also assisting. State police said two investigators were in charge of the scene. A lead investigator for state police rode out and returned around 4 p.m. At 4:30 p.m., Will County Coroner Patrick K. O'Neil rode out to examine the body.

Fifteen minutes later, the Channahon Fire Department brought a boat to the landing as news helicopters circled overhead.

"There are human remains, but that is all that is known right now," police said.

A forensic team was called in to search the area at 5 p.m. and police said they might need lighting to continue the investigation as the sun went down.

Woman's body found by river near Channahon
May 20, 2009 7:24 PM | 14 Comments | UPDATED STORY
 
Authorities were working this afternoon to identify the badly decomposed body of a woman found by the Des Plaines River near Channahon.

Meanwhile, as investigators worked at the Big Basin Marina, where the body was discovered, the families of two missing suburban women were waiting for word on whether the discovery might yield some resolution in their relatives' disappearances.

"We've been called," said Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for the family of Stacy Peterson, who disappeared from Bolingbrook in October 2007. "We're in contact by phone. We're just waiting to hear more information. For confirmation though, they said it's going to be a little bit of time.  Obviously we're anticipating that it could be anyone -- you know, Lisa Stebic is missing too -- but we just want an answer of who this woman is."

Stebic's family also was aware of the discovery and was waiting for word from Illinois State Police officials, who are conducting the investigation.

"We haven't heard anything from Illinois State Police -- yet," said Melanie Greenberg, a spokeswoman for Stebic's family. "But it could be anybody; there are several missing women. But the location is just south, not very far away. [If it is her], the overwhelming feeling would be relief that we found her and that there is resolution. And we'd finally be able to put her to rest."

According to Roy Taylor, who has been leading the water searches for Peterson's body in the area, a crew cleaning up the river found the body on the shore sometime this afternoon.

The manager of nearby Mugzy's Bar said the body was discovered about 3 p.m. by the Living Lands and Waters clean-up crew, which the bar had hired to clean part of the river.

"We saw the trooper flying into the parking lot, and the Living Lands and Waters boat was coming down the river and the trooper jumped in their boat," said Ben, who asked that his last name not be used.

Ben said the crew, which is based out of Moline, came about four days ago and he briefed them that searchers had been sifting through the waters, apparently looking for Stacy Peterson's body.

"I told them that we had a flood last September, it was the worst flood ever, it was knee-deep in the parking lot. I told them if you're going to find anything, it's probably going to be onshore, because of the flood," he said. "They'd be a big help and get some closure to this case if they came across something. I knew it was a long shot."

The body was not in the water, but was found in the brush on the shore, according to a state police source. Other bodies had been found in the area in the past, the source said, including the remains of the Vaughn family, which were found in a car on a frontage road near the Stevenson in Channahon Township in 2007.

Stebic was last seen in Plainfield in April 2007. Plainfield police investigators are in contact with state police investigators, said public information officer Jim Caliendo.

"We're just letting them do their thing -- at this point we're not sure if it's even connected with our case or not," he said. "If we do get that information, we'll send an investigator out."

"I found out through a friend. We're just hopeful, I'm so hopeful and I'm ecstatic," said Stacy Peterson's aunt, Candace Aikin, who lives near Los Angeles. "I'm hoping that it is Stacy. Our family really wants closure. Then we'll at least know what happened. We have so many unanswered questions and no closure is really hard.

Body found on Des Plaines River bank

Wednesday, May 20, 2009 | 11:00 PM  By Ben Bradley

May 20, 2009 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- Police discovered skeletal remains on the Des Plaines River bank near rural Channahon on Wednesday afternoon.
 
While it's too soon to determine the identity, investigators who've been working on the disappearance cases of Stacy Peterson and Lisa Stebic were at the scene.

ABC7 learned the body was found within a mile of where a resident discovered a blue barrel.
The remains were found on the river bank and the barrel was found in the Des Plaines River near southwest suburban Channahon
.



 The big question is who is it?
State Police removed the remains by boat five hours after a river clean-up crew came across the badly decomposed body along the side of the Des Plaines River.

"They said they found a body. Pretty hard to determine the gender but they think it was a female," said Ben, bar owner.

Just a few nights ago, this bar owner told the out of town river clean-up team how he and others had joined in the search for Stacey Peterson. Together they talked about how a fall flood may make scouring the shoreline again worthwhile.

"I said, keep your eyes open to look on shore and they said they would switch their efforts to shoreline efforts and they did and here we are four days later and they found something. So hopefully someone's family can get closure here," said Ben.

"We're not identifying whether it's male or female. It would be very premature to do that nor are we making any tempt to make an association with any current investigation. It would be very premature," said Master Sgt. Tom Burek, Illinois State Police.

Fairly quickly, forensics experts should be able to determine the person's height, body type and if it's a woman, whether she had children. Dental records and DNA will also be tested.

While it the remains could be those of virtually any missing person, for the families of missing mothers Stacey Peterson and Lisa Stebic, the discovery brings hope tinged with fear.

"It's quiet anticipation but we've been through this situation before so we've learned not to be too anxious about the situation," said Pam Bosco, Peterson family spokesman.

"The not knowing is what's worse. Frankly it would be such a relief if it was Lisa, just to know that we could put her to rest," said Melanie Greenberg, Lisa Stebic's cousin.

Resident sees blue barrel

About a mile downstream from where those remains were found there a blue barrel was found along the riverbank.
Chopper 7HD took pictures of it on Wednesday evening after a resident told ABC7 that she first saw the container on Sunday.

On Monday, Michelle Williams says she saw the barrel again and emailed a picture of it to police.
A blue barrel is of interest because Drew Peterson's stepbrother claims he helped Peterson remove a blue barrel from his home and feared it contained the body of Stacy Peterson.
"A blue barrel in a river -- I would think -- people would want to know about --especially the police," said Michelle Williams.
State police have searched for -- and found -- blue barrels on several different occasions. None has been linked to the case.

Peterson or Stebic Link
to Body?

Updated: Thursday, 21 May 2009, 7:17 AM CDT
Published : Thursday, 21 May 2009, 6:21 AM CDT

Crest Hill - An autopsy is scheduled on badly decomposed human remains found in suburban Chicago on the banks of the Des Plaines River. Illinois State Police Sgt. Tom Burek says the Will County coroner will perform the autopsy this morning.

The discovery yesterday prompted speculation the remains were related to a couple of long-running, high-profile missing persons cases in Will County. Burek declined to say if the body was male or female.

He says he won't speculate about whether the remains belong to Stacy Peterson or Lisa Stebic, two missing Will County women whose cases have garnered national attention.

Peterson's husband, Drew Peterson, is scheduled to appear in court today on charges he killed his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Stebic was last seen in Plainfield in April 2007.

Body found stirs two missing-women cases
An autopsy will be performed today on the badly decomposed human remains found by a cleanup crew working Wednesday afternoon on the Des Plaines River.
Erika Slife and Alicia Fabbre Breaking News Center
May 21, 2009

CREST HILL, Ill. - An autopsy will be performed today on the badly decomposed human remains found by a cleanup crew working Wednesday afternoon on the Des Plaines River.

The key question: Is the body that of either the missing Stacy Peterson or Lisa Stebic? But authorities say there is no timetable for making a determination.

The remains--reportedly mainly bones--were found along the banks of the river near Channahon, just west of Interstate Highway 55, an area where searchers have looked for Peterson since she disappeared Oct. 28, 2007.

Speculation spread that the remains might also be those of Stebic, the Plainfield mother who disappeared in April 2007. Stacy Peterson's family was alerted to the discovery by state police.

Authorities would not discuss the condition of the remains, whether they were male or female, or if clothing was found on the body. Officials said there is no timetable as to when they will be able to make a positive identification.

WLS-Ch. 7 reported this morning that a plastic blue barrel was found by a resident within a mile of the remains, although authorities said there was no sign of one. Thomas Morphey, Drew Peterson's stepbrother, has told authorities that he helped Peterson carry a blue container out of the Peterson home the day she disappeared, and he believed the body of Stacy Peterson was inside it.

Drew Peterson is now in jail on murder charges in the 2004 death of his previous wife, Kathleen Savio. The former Bolingbrook police sergeant has pleaded not guilty. He has not been charged in connection with Stacy Peterson's disappearance, but has denied any responsibility there, too.

Investigators from many agencies remained at the riverbank late Wednesday searching for evidence.

The crew found the body around 2:30 p.m. in brush on the river shoreline, said the manager of Mugzy's Hideout, a bar in the Big Basin Marina.

"We've been called," said Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for Stacy Peterson's family. "We're in contact by phone. We're just waiting to hear more information. For confirmation though, they said it's going to be a little bit of time."

Melanie Greenberg, a spokeswoman for Lisa Stebic's family, said: "If it is [her], the overwhelming feeling would be relief that we found her and that there is resolution."

Earlier in the day, the Will County state's attorney announced the special grand jury investigating the Peterson and Stebic cases had not returned indictments related to their disappearances.

Attorney Joel Brodsky visited Peterson in jail Wednesday night and appeared unfazed by the speculation the body could be Stacy's.

"I wish I had $10,000 for every time they pulled a body out of a river in the Chicago area," Brodsky said. "People will assume what they want to assume."

You can be sure they are rushing this DNA test.  Wasn't Peterson scheduled to be in court this morning to reduce bail?  Of course it pertains to Savio but I'm sure if this body turns out to be Stacy it could change things.  ::MonkeyCool::

Post by: Anna on May 21, 2009, 12:49:29 PM
It is remotely possible to make an ID from autopsy if either of the two women had previous injuries that would show in skeletal remains such as previous fractures of bones, etc. 

Otherwise without dental records, we will have to wait for the DNA results.  I would think there are labs that can do those in Chicago in a rush then send to State lab for back ups?

I hope the judge just takes the motion to reduce bail under advisement until the ID of these remains are known.  He can say he is thinking about it and stall until the results are know for certain.

But I am watching for any definitive word on this.  Yes, it could be a totally unknown party but at least some family will get closure.  Makes me queasy to think how many missing people are out there whose remains one can just wander upon while hiking, fishing, hunting, etc.

So we wait. . . . . . . . . .

Good Afteroon Klaas.... So if legs and torso found, that pretty well says that she could have been contained, as the length that she has been missing and in the water, body would not have been intact.

Correct.  Plus the fact a blue barrel was recently spotted downstream making it possible that something popped the lid open and the remains found their way out.  The barrel continued downstream and the body found it's way to shore or was blocked by debris.

According to the video found here:  http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/crime/RiverBody  only legs and a torso found, no head/dental for the autopsy.

Good Afteroon Klaas.... So if legs and torso found, that pretty well says that she could have been contained, as the length that she has been missing and in the water, body would not have been intact. 



Correct.  Plus the fact a blue barrel was recently spotted downstream making it possible that something popped the lid open and the remains found their way out.  The barrel continued downstream and the body found it's way to shore or was blocked by debris.

I believe the  link  that you have provided is the one that has the video showing the pic that the lady found it is on.

BLUE BARREL - WOW...but this woman had to phone two times to report seeing the barrel, before they went out and retrieved it.  She made the initial phone call and then when it was still there, phoned again.  ::MonkeyNoNo::

My father has been gone for 13 years but ... I am able to hear his words loud and clear ... "I bet Drew is at this moment is laughing on the other side of his face."

I am so thankful that the family will be afforded a measure of closure while the justice process can take its course.

What makes the discovery of a body in the Des Plaines River in Will County more fascinating is that it was discovered only a mile away from a blue barrel along in the water. Is there a Peterson link? We spoke with the woman who found the barrel.

If this indeed does turn out to be Stacey ~  Drew's children have supported their father and claimed he was with them, and is not guilty.

Wonder how this will effect their impression of their....not-guilty dad.  I am sure they were brainwashed by Drew. 

Well, it is up to them if they would want to enter their adult life, knowing that their dad was indeed guilty and he took their mother's life.  Where would their underlying love for their mother be??

I can't even begin to put in words the actions of Drew when he was being arrested.  What was he looking for in the sky, the helicopter, to make sure he was on camera.  Wellllllll.....he sure was...and doing nothing more than making a compete arse of himself.   I think he better find something more than ....DEPENDS....as it is not going to hold the whole load.

Gypsy - it's been reported in several places that there were only skeletal remains found.  Hopefully there was some tissue as it will allow for quicker DNA testing.  Unless they have found additional remains since yesterday, what was found yesterday was legs and torso only, no head.  So unless they have found more they won't be able to check dental records.

FYI - I work very closely with Blink throughout the day and any new news will be posted on Blinks site and here concurrently.

I am wondering if that crafty SOB was cruel enough to decapitate her knowing that would be the first thing needed for id.  Also, the manager of the club that had the cleanup crew from Moline hired may be another hero. He said he told them where he thought she might be. I don't know if it is normal to have to clean up every year along the river, but being a marina, it might be routine. Anyhow, there were people out there looking for her. I think it is probably Stacey too, due to the blue barrel. I am oh so ready for the smirking bas*ard to get nailed for sure!!!

Klasend, Thanks for letting me know it will be reported here as well.

I should have been clearer instead of saying skeleton..I should have said skeletol..I knew they had not retrieved the whole body....just very poor phrasing on my part....so thank you for the correction.

Drew wants his bond reduced. He is charged with first degree murder of Kathleen.  If the DNA results are indeed Stacey, then he will be charged with another first degree murder.

Do you think his bond would be reduced????  I hope it is increased due to possibly two murders.

The prosecution just won it's request for a new judge.  The hearing will be tomorrow on the bail issue.  My guess is the judge will not lower bail at this time (at least until DNA results are in).

SNIPPED from the link :

To the morgue

At 7:50 p.m., a skiff carrying detectives and a deputy coroner landed at the marina. A coroner's van backed up to the skiff. A deputy coroner and investigator carried a white body bag from the skiff and loaded it in the van. The drooping ends of the body bag showed that the remains were only about two feet long.

Coroner: Autopsy on human remains inconclusive

Associated Press - May 21, 2009 4:44 PM ET

JOLIET, Ill. (AP) - The Will County coroner says results are inconclusive from an autopsy performed on human remains found along the Des Plaines River.

Coroner Patrick O'Neil said in a news release Thursday that his office is unable to conclude the identity, race or sex of the skeletal remains. O'Neil says an expedited DNA analysis by the Illinois State Police Forensic Crime Laboratory will likely take about two weeks.

Members of a cleanup crew found the remains Wednesday afternoon. The discovery prompted speculation the remains were related to the local long-running, high-profile missing persons cases of Stacy Peterson or Lisa Stebic.

The coroner says shreds of blue jeans and a small amount of U.S. currency were found along with the remains.

Autopsy reveals little about river body
May 21, 2009 4:08 PM | 107 Comments | UPDATED STORY

An autopsy today on badly decomposed human remains found along the Des Plaines River revealed little about who the person was and how she or he died.

The Will County coroner's office said DNA testing that may determine the body's identity will take at least two weeks.


There has been speculation the body could be Stacy Peterson, who disappeared from her Bolingbrook home in October 2007,  or Lisa Stebic, the Plainfield mother who went missing in April of that year.

While the autopsy indicated that the person has been dead several months or more, it "did not reveal any significant information in reference to the identity, race or sex" of the person, the coroner's office said.

"Positive identification may hinge on forensic DNA analysis" through the state police crime lab, Coroner Patrick K. O'Neil said in a statement.

The remains consisted of a rib cage, spinal column and partial left and right femur bones. The remains were found with shreds of blue jeans containing a small amount of U.S. currency, according to the coroner's office.

It might be Stacy Peterson. According to this article - http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/05/channahon-des-plaines-river-body-recovery-illinois-state-police.html - the blue barrel seems pretty interesting. But how many young women - and even men - from Will, Dupage or even Cook County could that body be? Sadly, hundreds. And given it's proximity to Interstate 55 .. it might not even be someone from Illinois. I wish this world was a better place.

One interresting point.  The article says the body/remains had what was left of jeans on.  Stacy went missing the end of October 2007 an the weather would have been cold.  There are many photos of Stacy wearing jeans.  Just an observation.

JVM is reporting it was a torso only... no head, arms, or legs.
Praying that it will give some family closure... but it could really be anyone.
The blue barrel is interesting, but it was less than a mile away and might not be related.

More Evidence Discovered …

It is being reported that more evidence was found Saturday from the Des Plaines River near Channahan, Ill where sources are saying it is related to a body found on the river bank on Wednesday.

CBS 2 has learned that Illinois State Police recovered more evidence from the Des Plaines River that sources say is related to a body found on the river bank on Wednesday.

That body was a human torso missing a head, arms and legs below the knees.

Police would not confirm that the items found Saturday were bones from the skeleton.

The additional evidence was found Saturday afternoon. State police would not confirm what was found Saturday or if the items were related to the remains found earlier. According to media sources, the evidence found might have been a leg bone.

Chemical plant worker Jeff Triplett says he escorted state police and two workers from the Will County Coroner’s office through a brush and back into the woods along the bank of the Des Plaines River…

Tera Williams: What did they find…
Jeff Triplett: They found a human leg bone… they said they found it on the side of the river…
They had their forensics kit and they all had their laptops and they were bagging it up.

It is being highly speculated that the remains found earlier this week in the Des Plaines River might be those of either missing Stacy Peterson or Lisa Stebic. Both of whom went missing in 2007. Although there are others that have gone missing with less media attention that are not so high-profile in the area as well. 26 year old Bradley Olsen and 45 year old John Spira have also both been missing since 2007.


Bradley Olsen, 26, of Maple Park and John Spira, 45, of St. Charles each has been missing since 2007. Susan Olsen, Bradley Olsen’s mother, hopes when the remains are identified, “one of our … families will have closure.”

Her son was last seen about 2 a.m. Jan. 20, 2007, at Bar One in DeKalb. DeKalb police have said he arrived at the bar with some friends late Jan. 19.

“My thoughts and prayers are with all the families,” Susan Olsen said. “It’s unfortunate we have to go through more grueling waiting.”

Spira, 45, last was seen Feb. 23, 2007, at Universal Cable Construction near West Chicago, which Spira co-owned. A fire in September 2007 totaled the business.

Very true Klaas. Lisa Stebic had a family member on JVM's show earlier and said that early on the day that she went missing, she was wearing jeans too. This will be a long wait for many people  ::MonkeyNoNo::

I thought Stacy was last seen in red jogging pants....but I do not know for sure...I am going to search ::MonkeyTongue::

Stacy was wearing a red jogging suit.. or at least that what was reported ..and if Drew reported that then we know he is lying about what she had on.   So I would bet Stacy had on jeans.

Des Plaines River body yields few clues
May 25, 2009 5:30 PM | No Comments
No one knows yet how the body found along the Des Plaines River last week ended up there.

The body is undergoing DNA testing, and officials said results aren't expected for up to two weeks. Sources said they could be returned as early as this week.

Even if the body is identified, further investigation will likely be needed to tell how long it was in the water, or when the person died, said noted forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden, who is familiar with the cases of missing Will County women Stacy Peterson and Lisa Stebic.
If the body was submerged, there's little doubt its journey through the debris-filled river was rough. It may have crashed into boat traffic that moves year-round, got stuck on logs and roots, and been impacted by fish, wildlife and the changing currents and temperatures. By the time it arrived onshore, not far from Big Basin Marina near Channahon, only portions of the midsection and partial leg bones were left.

Although a preliminary autopsy last week couldn't say whether the body was that of a man or woman, the race or identity, the remains did hold a few clues. Found with the body were shreds of jeans, meaning the person likely had not been out for a swim and then drowned.

Baden, who is not involved with last week's discovery, said the cause of death may never be known.

"This is the kind of body that could be in the water for one year, or five years, because there was a lot of destruction from the body," he said.  "The first thing is, who is it. Once you know who it is, you can get a better determination of how the body got there."

The DNA could be extracted from bone marrow or other cells, experts said.

"Frankly, you've got bones," said Dr. Peter G. Candel, a pathologist and senior partner at Holy Cross Hospital who is not involved in the investigation. "There is residual cellular material that can be found in the marrow, the bone itself or adherent tissues. ... You just need to get molecules of DNA out to do comparison."

Over the decades, the Des Plaines River has become a dumping ground for bodies, including four victims of John Wayne Gacy. It's at least 9 feet deep and up to 50 feet in places, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Because of industry in the area, the water is murky and warm and for the most part does not freeze over in winter. Commercial boat traffic is year round. When it rains, the current moves faster, boating officials said.

Bodies decompose faster in warmer waters, said Baden, who performed an autopsy on Kathleen Savio on behalf her family. Drew Peterson is charged with Savio's 2004 death and is a suspect in Stacy Peterson's disappearance. He has denied wrongdoing in both cases.

"Normally what happens in the water, in the northern part of the United States, the bodies that go in cold water will stay under until the water warms up," Baden said. "May is the time in general in the [northern United States] when bodies start coming to the surface."

While DNA may answer some questions about the body, it likely won't reveal exactly what happened.

Stacy Peterson and Stebic have been missing since 2007. Plainfield police have named Stebic's husband, Craig, a "person of interest" in her case. He has denied wrongdoing.

"It's on our minds constantly. Right now, it's all we can think about," said Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for Stacy Peterson's family. "Whoever this person is, it's going to be good for somebody to get some closure. Our hearts go out to any family in this situation."

And don't forget the bikini she took, along with her passport and $20 grand.

Me thinks that Drew paid the rest of that money to whomever he told to dispose of the body.  Remeber Tom M said Drew gave him money to help him move the barrel.  I think it went into a storage shed ater that night..then he gave the key to the storage shed to someone along with the rest of the money to dispose of the body.

Has anyone heard anything on how long before the results on the DNA will come back? I think it's Stacey with a blue barrel being found a mile down river. I thought I read where there was some money in the pocket of the partial jeans they found. Can't find the article but am pretty sure it was on the Fox web site when they reported it. Like so many of you I think it's Stacey, I really want the slime ball Drew to get whats coming to him. But wether it's Stacey or Lisa I pray for peace and closer for the families.

Remains found near river not Peterson or Stebic
JOLIET, Ill. | Authorities say DNA tests show a headless, armless skeleton found along the Des Plaines River last week was from an unidentified male.

Speculation had swirled about whether the badly decomposed body was Stacy Peterson or Lisa Stebic, two Will County women whose disappearances have drawn national media attention.

Illinois State Police said in a statement Wednesday that an investigation to identify the remains is under way.

The Will County coroner has said the person was dead for several months or more. Results of an autopsy last week were inconclusive, and DNA tests were conducted.

The location of the remains in Will County prompted speculation they were related to the high-profile Peterson and Stebic cases.

Hey Drew here’s a suggestion, if you want a conjugal visit so bad maybe the Illinois Department of Corrections can transfer you from the Will County Jail and send you to Stateville Prison where they can see fit to put you into general population. Prior to your arrival, they can reference that you are a wife killing ex-cop. I am sure you will get all the conjugal visits you need, and then some. I am not sure if I would be joking about wanting sex while in jail Drew. Those are words one usually does not say to loud unless one wants to be pinned to a con name Bubba.

Stacy Peterson's Sister to Lead Search for Her Remains
Thursday , August 20, 2009

CHICAGO —

The sister of a missing Chicago woman is asking for the public's help in finding her remains.

A search for Stacy Peterson arranged by Cassandra Cales is scheduled for Friday in Bolingbrook, Ill., MyFOXChicago.com reported.

Participants will meet at 10 a.m. at the Ikea store at 750 E. Boughton Road and should be prepared to search through brush. They're advised to dress appropriately — in long pants and no sandals — use insect repellent and bring water and a snack.

Search for Stacy Peterson: Family, friends fail to find evidence of woman missing since 2007 in search of Bolingbook area

By Kim Janssen
TRIBUNE REPORTER
August 22, 2009

A search party looking for missing Bolingbrook mom Stacy Peterson dredged wetlands near the southwest suburb's Ikea store Friday, but came up empty.

As many as 50 volunteers hunted for four hours without success for the 23-year-old's remains in a patch of wetland near the store, at 750 E. Boughton Rd., just west of Interstate Highway 355.

Police were not involved in the search, but Peterson's family had received information that Stacy was seen near the area before she disappeared in October of 2007.

Members of the public, who came forward after Peterson's sister, Cassandra Cales, appealed for assistance through the media, said they wanted to help with the search because police don't have the time or resources to check every lead quickly.

"We didn't find any remains or body parts," said Cales, who wore a T-shirt with her sister's photo during the search.

"The water was up to our waists in some places, so it was pretty difficult work, but there are still places left for us to come back and check."

High reeds and grasses and the swampy ground also made Friday's search difficult.

Several previous volunteer searches at sites across Bolingbrook also failed to turn up evidence.

Stacy Peterson was the fourth wife of former Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson, who is jailed on charges of killing his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

Drew Peterson was indicted in Savio's 2004 death and is a suspect in Stacy's disappearance. He has denied any involvement in either case.

A judge last week began the jury-selection process for Drew Peterson's murder trial in the Savio case.

Will County Circuit Judge Stephen White said he will rule Oct. 2 on a defense motion to move the trial to another county because of intense publicity. He said he also will hear arguments that day on whether a new state hearsay law, which some call "Drew's Law," passes constitutional muster.

Cops May Have Found Body of Drew Peterson's Wife

Originally posted Jun 4th 2010 9:52 PM PDT by TMZ Staff

There may be a huge break in the disappearance of Drew Peterson's third wife.  TMZ has learned authorities believe they may know exactly where the body is buried, and then plan to dig for it tomorrow.

0604_drew_peterson_ex
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Peterson, an ex-cop who is currently behind bars awaiting trial for the murder of his third wife, told an inmate yesterday how he killed Stacy Peterson, wife number 4.  Stacy's body has never been recovered.

Our sources say Peterson told the inmate he had an accomplice help him dispose of the body.  The inmate then told authorities about his discussion with Peterson, which led them to the alleged accomplice.  We're told the accomplice informed Will County Sheriff's officials and prosecutors that the body was buried just outside Peoria, Illinois.

Will County Sheriff's deputies and prosecutors took the alleged accomplice to Peoria Friday, and the accomplice led them to private hunting grounds.  The owner allowed authorities to enter his property and the accomplice then led them to the site where Stacy's body was allegedly buried.  The accomplice told authorities the body was stuffed in a metal drum that had been buried underground.

On Friday afternoon, authorities brought police dogs onto the property and we're told the dogs immediately took them to the place where the witness said the body was buried.  Authorities then put prongs in the soil and hit a mass below ground that could be the drum in question.

We're told State Police are now guarding the property and authorities will begin digging tomorrow morning.

Stacy Peterson case update: Police to dig for body of Drew Peterson’s third wife

There’s breaking news in the case of missing woman Stacy Peterson. Reports state that police will dig for the body of Stacy Peterson tomorrow. Stacy Peterson was Drew Peterson’s fourth wife. She suddenly disappeared on October 28, 2007. Drew Peterson was a police officer at the time of her disappearance and said that she ran off with a man, leaving her children behind.

According to a report by TMZ, Drew Peterson disposed of his wife’s body with the help of an accomplice. Now, the accomplice is speaking and told authorities where Stacy’s remains are located. The report says that the accomplice told authorities where they can find her body and that Stacy Peterson was buried in a metal drum.

Police to dig for Stacy Peterson's body near Peoria

June 5, 2010
BY JOE HOSEY Herald News

Working with new information in the disappearance of Stacy Peterson, authorities are set to dig in search of her body Saturday in an area east of Peoria, sources said.

The State Police and Will County state's attorney's office are expected to have investigators on the scene Saturday, in hopes the missing fourth wife of ex-Bolingbrook cop Drew Peterson will finally be found.

Sources would not reveal what the new information was, or where it came from. Although they did dispute a TMZ.com report that the latest tip came from inmate who had spoken with Drew Peterson as late as Thursday. TMZ.com, citing sources, said the inmate passed along the tip to law enforcement.

Sources do confirm that law enforcement, using dogs, searched a hunting area east of Peoria Friday. They are set to return Saturday to dig in an specific area.

Stacy Peterson has been missing since Oct. 26, 2007. Peterson is considered a suspect in her disappearance.

He is about to stand trial, as soon as next month, in the 2004 drowning death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Her death was initally ruled an accident, but authorities reopened the case after Stacy Peterson disappeared. A new autopsy ruled it was a homicide, and Peterson was arrested and charged with murder.

He has denied any involvement in Savio's death or Stacy Peterson's disappearance.

Authorities pursue a lead downstate regarding Stacy Peterson
June 5, 2010 8:51 AM | No Comments | BREAKING STORY

The Illinois State Police are following up on a lead in rural central Illinois regarding the 2007 disappearance of Stacy Peterson, the fourth wife of former Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson.

Police did not provide any more specifics on where they were working, though a release from the police said that a media staging area is being set up near Peoria. There were no additional details available on the nature of the lead they were working on.

On Friday night, TMZ.com reported that officials believe they know where a body believed to be that of Stacy Peterson is buried and that they will be digging in that area today. The article said that the area being searched is just outside Peoria.

Before the state police report became public this morning, a spokesman for the Will County Sheriff's Police said that the TMZ.com report is not true.

Police search for Stacy Peterson under way

Updated at 08:42 AM today

More: Bio, Blog, Twitter, News Team

June 5, 2010 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- Illinois State Police confirm investigators are conducting a search this morning in connection to the disappearance of Bolingbrook mother Stacy Peterson. Master Sergeant Tom Burek tells ABC 7 teams are searching a rural area near the town of Metamora, Illinois.

The search site is approximately 140 miles southwest of Chicago outside Peoria.

Peoria County Coroner Johnna Ingersoll confirms forensics teams have been summoned to the scene but says so far they have found no human remains. The coroner say excavation work is underway to search for human remains.

In a statement, Illinois State Police said, "The ISP Investigation team that has been investigating the disappearance and possible homicide of Stacy Peterson is aware of the situation and at the scene."
Countless searches have taken place since Stacy Peterson vanished in October, 2007. Her husband, former Bolingbrook Police Sergeant Drew Peterson, is in the Will County Jail awaiting a July trial on charges he killed his previous wife Kathleen Savio. At 5:30am, a Will County Sheriff's Department spokesman said he had no information on any new leads or searches involving the death of Savio or disappearance of Stacy Peterson.

It appears that the state police are the ones heading up this search, didn't inform the county sheriff dept.

Illinois State Police are following a lead Saturday in the disappearance and possible homicide of Stacy Peterson.

<snipped>

Pat Barry with Will Co. Sheriff's Department said he first heard of the story at 3 a.m. Saturday morning, and that his deputies were not planning to go down to Peoria.

Glad to see that ISP is taking charge of this investigation.  Peterson's incestuous relationship with his fellow "officer brothers" has probably been the cause of his remaining as free as the wind for the last 30 years.  Anyone else who committed the kind and number of assaults on their wives would have been locked up long ago.

Crossing my fingers and hoping for some news today that will bring some closure to Stacey's family.

I always got the feeling that he loved playing games with everyone. Like you know I did it, but you will never catch me. I also think you are right about some of his cop buddies covering for him. I think he figured since he was a cop he could get away with it. But we all know that the truth comes out sooner or later. I hope they find Stacy.

Coroner on standby...

She says, "police will be hesitant to unearth a body and have the rains possibly wash away evidence."

Pam Bosco, (spokesperson for Stacy’s family), says that the family is hopeful, but wary, that Stacy’s remains may finally be found.

Our sources say Peterson told the inmate he had an accomplice help him dispose of the body. The inmate then told authorities about his discussion with Peterson, which led them to the alleged accomplice. We're told the accomplice informed Will County Sheriff's officials and prosecutors that the body was buried just outside Peoria, Illinois.

I do have a hard time believing Peterson would give this up, he's such a narcissistic sociopath though there is a chance he was dumb enough to taunt so I have to reserve hope that they find her but Im praying.

I hear ya, Blonde! 

<snip from link below>

(State police Master Sgt. Tom Burek) wouldn't say when the search began or how large the search area is. He also wouldn't confirm where the lead came from or how credible police thought it might be.

(ie: mums the word)

<another snip>

Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for Stacy Peterson's family, said Illinois State Police told the family that they considered the developments near Peoria to be a "good lead."

Bosco said police did not tell the family how the lead originated although they got the sense that some of the details in the TMZ report are "probably not true."

"We're hopeful that it is Stacy. It sounds like a good lead," Bosco said. "But we don't want to get our hopes up too high because we've been down this path before."

Drew Peterson is in isolation in the Will County Jail and, according to Steve Greenberg, an attorney on Peterson's defense team, "He doesn't talk to anyone."

http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2010/06/authorities-pursue-a-lead-downstate-regarding-stacy-peterson.html (http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2010/06/authorities-pursue-a-lead-downstate-regarding-stacy-peterson.html)


And this was posted on Joe Hosey's facebook wall thingy:

Don M. Zimmerman
This is from Amy Jacobson: Found out tip did NOT come from Drew Peterson's cell. a "person" came forward who knows someone who allegedly knows where Stacy's body is located..prelim info.     -- about an hour ago

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Joseph-Hosey/97687902999?v=wall#!/pages/Joseph-Hosey/97687902999?v=wall (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Joseph-Hosey/97687902999?v=wall#!/pages/Joseph-Hosey/97687902999?v=wall)

~~~~

Actually, I don't care where the supposed tip/lead came from.  It has the ISP out there searching for Stacy, with the family at the scene and the coroner 'on standby', and seems a fairly good indication that this may be what everyone but DrewP has been waiting for.

Some reports are quoting Joel Brodsky as saying that Peterson has been kept in isolation inside the prison where he's been staying. He eats alone, spends the day alone, uses the computer alone. The only people allowed visits are his close family and his attorneys.

So, are we to assume the tip came from a relative? Who is this alleged accomplice and why didn't he/she come forward during the past three years?

Reading that the dogs were brought in and pointed to a spot is encouraging.

About searching for other bodies, I wouldn't be surprised if Lisa Stebic's body is found nearby. These murderous aholes sometimes think alike.

"Drew couldn't talk to somebody if he wanted to," said his attorney, Joel Brodsky. "I heard it's a friend of a friend of a friend -- there's nothing there. I think TMZ should stick to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt."

Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for Stacy Peterson's family, also said several claims in TMZ.com's story are not true. But Bosco said the family is "very hopeful at this point," about today's search, based on information the Illinois State Police has shared with the family.

"They seem to be really positive that this will be something that will help the case," Bosco said. State police haven't given family details about the nature of the lead or where the tip came from, but "we've just been told it's a very good lead and they'e very hopeful," she said.

The State Police and Will County state's attorney's office were expecting to have investigators on the scene today.

Sources confirm that law enforcement, using dogs, first searched a hunting area east of Peoria Friday. Stacy Peterson has been missing since Oct. 26, 2007. Peterson is considered a suspect in her disappearance. He has said he suspects she is still alive somewhere.

Doesn't it seem... I don't want to say strange, maybe beautiful that God seems to be bringing all these killers to justice. They got Casey Anthony, they got the Croslins, they got Joran Van der slut and now Peterson. I'm loving all this!!!

Justice for all!

Boo..my thoughts exactly match yours.  Drew Peterson deserves to be outsmarted by the LE..with his cocky behavior.  We'll see who gets the last laugh Drew..we'll see.

Several state police squad cars had blocked the entrance to the club and the gate was closed, as well. Troopers stood out front. Members of the media that had converged on the scene were asked to leave.

No machinery or other personnel were visible farther back on the property from the road.

Sources have now confirmed that authorities were led to the area by a Will County inmate who claims to have been told about the area by Drew Peterson in the Will County jail.

The inmate personally took authorities to the club about 10 a.m. Friday morning, when the search commenced. Officers are probing the ground and sifting through soil by hand, though an end-loader and back hoe are on the scene if needed.

Mud and rain have hampered the search, sources have told the Journal Star.

As of 1 p.m., State police Master Sgt. Tom Burek said that nothing had yet been found in a search of the area. He too would not say where the search was being conducted.

Peoria County Coroner Johnna Ingersoll said that the search, which began Friday, will continue today for "human remains."

David Alwan confirmed he owns and lives on the 150-acre farm where investigators are digging.

He said about 10 to 20 federal, state and Will County investigators met with him Friday at his farm, where horses roam and soybeans and alfalfa grow.

"They had pretty solid leads with specific coordinates," Alwan said.

He would not elaborate, saying police have asked him not release many details.

Alwan also would not say if he's ever noticed digging on his land before, but added that investigators are unearthing soil near Kickapoo Creek.

Friday was the first time police had contacted Alwan about the Drew Peterson case, he said.

Ill. police probe lead on Drew Peterson's 4th wife

(AP) – 25 minutes ago

PEORIA, Ill. — Investigators searched a muddy stretch of remote central Illinois Saturday for the remains of the fourth wife of Drew Peterson, the former suburban Chicago police officer awaiting trial for the murder of his previous spouse.

Drew Peterson, 56, is a suspect in the disappearance and possible homicide of Stacy Peterson, who was 23 when she was last seen in October 2007. No one has been charged in the case, and her body has never been found.

Drew Peterson is already charged with first-degree murder in the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, whose body was found in a dry bathtub at her home. He's pleaded not guilty to the charges. Jury selection in the trial is set for next month. He's being held in isolation at the Will County Jail.

State police and other law enforcement agencies were searching rural land "thick with timber" near Peoria for signs of Stacy Peterson, said state police Master Sgt. Tom Burek.

Rains have reduced the land to a "muddy mess" meaning that parts are inaccessible by vehicle and investigators have had to comb the area on foot, Burek said.

He wouldn't say when the search began or how large the search area is. He also wouldn't confirm where the lead came from or how credible police thought it might be.

"We follow up on every lead," he said.
Investigators have pursued several tips about Stacy Peterson's disappearance over the years, including sending divers into murky Chicago-area waters.

Drew Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, called the most recent search "patently ridiculous."

"Drew's position from day one has always been that she ran off with another man, because that's what she told him," Brodsky said. "This is just another in a long line of unsubstantiated rumors about Drew Peterson, all of which have proved to be false."

I must be going off my rocker (again)... because I would swear there was a search of someone's farm, with a very similar name, and nothing was found.

It may have to do with one of the many missing people cases I have read in the past, or maybe a dream. I can't seem to remember which, or the details.

But, in this "dream" - or actual search - nothing was found.

I hope and pray that it's just a "deja vu" kinda thing and that the search near Peoria will REALLY find something related to the Peterson case. I cannot see anyone taking LE on a trip to a remote area to search for a body when there is nothing to it.

I also hope they find her, so justice can run its course.

Am thinking we are on the same wavelength!  Yes, a farm and a search.  A psychic.  A "Barry/David Connection" thread full of our research, at an old Stacy board.  Am wading thru old olddddddd assorted info at the moment, and all these things are coming up, along with the mention of Peoria a couple of times.  Trying to get thru the research to the nuggets that were found.  Would be here all day and night into next week posting all that stuff.

New Search Launched for Drew Peterson's Missing Wife

(June 5) -- Illinois State Police searched a rural part of the state today to follow-up on a lead into the disappearance and possible homicide of Stacy Peterson, the fourth wife of former police officer Drew Peterson.

Police and forensics investigators were searching an area near Metamora, Ill., about 140 miles southwest of Chicago, ABC News reported. So far, they've found no sign of human remains.

The area is "thick with timber," sodden with rain and a "muddy mess," Sergeant Tom Burek told ABC.

Stacy Peterson vanished in 2007 and there have been numerous attempts to find her since. Her husband has been charged in connection with the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. He has denied any involvement in Stacy Peterson's disappearance.

Celebrity website TMZ is reporting that cops are acting on a tip from an inmate who is currently serving time with Drew Peterson. The inmate claims that Drew Peterson told him how he killed Stacy and worked with an accomplice to dispose of her corpse.

Cops then went to the accomplice, who told them that the body was stuffed in a metal drum and buried on private hunting ground, TMZ reported. Investigators at the site have struck a buried object that could be the kind of drum described.

Burek did not immediately respond to a call from AOL News seeking comment. Drew Peterson's lead attorney, Joel A. Brodsky, dismissed TMZ's account.

"This story cannot be true," Brodsky told CNN. "This is a fabrication, and it does not even make sense."

Drew Peterson is currently a suspect in Stacy's disappearance, but hasn't been charged. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder in Savio's death.

Their relationship began sweetly, but ended in tumultuous fashion, ABC reported. Drew, who was 30 years older than his wife, accused Stacy of infidelity and reportedly banned her from seeing her family and friends. Today, Drew maintains that Stacy ran off with another man.

Drew has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder in Savio's death. She was found drowned in a bathtub, which police originally thought was an accident.

The case was reopened when Stacy disappeared. When an autopsy showed that Savio had been murdered, Drew was charged with killing her.

So this seems like a credible lead.  One thing I am confused on is one article says the cellmate told LE then lead them to the location Friday.  Another article says that the cellmate told LE , who then went to an accomplice..who verified.  So are the cellmate and the accomplice the same person?  Who of Drew's old buddies might be in jail now..former LE, etc..that he would have called in 2007 to help move a body?

Cece, thanks!  Looks like the helicopter finally got up in the air.  lol

Gypsy, I dunno, but good points!  Could be one and the same, could be garbled info.  May take awhile to straighten out what is truly what. 

Am wondering if this 'sudden about face' by the anthropologist etc, is just a ploy to throw media off so they'll leave.  ??  They actually 'could have' found something and don't want media breathing over their shoulders.  Dunno what else to think.  Would they really have gone to all this trouble to just all of a sudden up and leave?  I don't think so!!

Police get 'solid leads' on Stacy Peterson
Published: June 5, 2010 at 6:57 PM
PEORIA, Ill., June 5 (UPI) -- Investigators  dug in a wooded area near Peoria, Ill., Saturday, working from what were described as "pretty solid leads" in the search for Stacy Peterson.

The fourth wife of former Bolingbrook, Ill., police officer Drew Peterson has been missing since October 2007. He is awaiting trial in the 2004 drowning death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, and is a suspect in the disappearance of Stacy Peterson.

Searchers were digging at a property owned by David Alwan, who said county, state and federal investigators were at his farm Friday, the Chicago Tribune reported Saturday.

"They had pretty solid leads with specific coordinates," Alwan said.

As of Saturday afternoon, no remains had been located, the Tribune reported.

Celebrity news Web site TMZ reported Friday authorities received a tip from a prisoner who said Drew Peterson had described a place where Stacy Peterson's remains would be found. However, Will County sheriff's spokesman Pat Barry said police did not get a tip from an inmate and Drew Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, said the former police officer "couldn't talk to somebody if he wanted to," the Chicago Sun-Times reported Saturday.

"I heard it's a friend of a friend of a friend -- there's nothing there," Brodsky said. "I think TMZ should stick to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt."

Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for the family of Stacy Peterson, said, "We've just been told it's a very good lead and they're very hopeful," the Sun-Times reported.

I don't know what to make of it..maybe in the wooded areas, and under a tarp it is slow going.  Maybe they want to bring different dogs back, different equipment?

Could be, Gypsy!  Seems the ISP didn't want the media out there anyway.  Could be they just need different tools and drier ground to work with.  Maybe hoping that telling the media 'kk we're done, nothing to see here, move along now, move along', that the media won't stick around to watch, or come back tomorrow and the next day?  lolol.. yeah right, like that's gonna happen.  Not!

Some insight as to why the state and fed officials are running this investigation instead of locals.

Quote
Riley Fox Killer Identified Six Years After Will County & Illinois Screwed It Up

Three high-profile cases; Riley Fox, Lisa Stebic and Drew Peterson. All have captured national headlines and all have had investigative and legal hiccups along the way. It is not a comforting thought that we have to question the competence of our authorities. Matter of fact, it is downright disconcerting. As a taxpayer, I also do not like the prospect of large jury awards that will ultimately have to be paid by us.

Kevin Fox and his wife had been originally awarded a $15.5 Million jury award. It has now twice been appealed and whittled down to $8 Million. In the latest appeal, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the jury's decision that the Will County police framed Kevin Fox but lowered the award anyway. Judge Terence Evans, in a 52-page decision found that detectives lacked probable cause to arrest Fox given the "exceedingly weak evidence." The 7th Circuit also chastised the investigators on the case, implying that "their decision to quickly rule out the girls death as the work of a sexual predator was absurd...

One thing is for sure, everything is not always what it seems when it comes to crime solving in Will County. It does not give me a peaceful easy feeling!"

Police end the search for Stacy Peterson's body

June 5, 2010

Authorities have ended their search for the remains of Stacy Peterson today, and it appears they did not find any evidence of her remains.

A forensic anthropologist hired by police to help search for her remains in a wooded area near Peoria gave up his search shortly before 6 p.m., state police said this evening.

Police said there were no immediate plans to resume searching.

"We are pursuing some other avenues in reference to this lead and we will be back in this area," State Police Master Sgt. Tom Burek said. But he offered no timetable for a return.

A police source said nothing was found during the day-long search. Asked if he was optimistic the lead -- which reportedly came from a prison inmate -- was valid, the source said: "I'm not convinced yet, put it that way."

Acting on a tip, police began digging for the missing remains of Stacy Peterson, the fourth wife of ex-Bolingbrook cop Drew Peterson, in a muddy, remote wooded area near the Kickapoo River outside of Peoria.


“They must think it’s pretty credible ... they’re here,” State Police Master Sgt. Tom Burek said from near the digging site, which he described as a “very low remote area.”

“Obviously, because of the rain, it's very muddy right now. It's thick with timber. It's a muddy mess out there,” Burek said.

The area where authorities were digging was closed off by a wrought iron gate identifying the place as “Big Hollow Huntsman’s,” punctuated with pictures of deer and pheasants.

Peterson’s family members were not on the scene, said family spokeswoman Pam Bosco, but they were watching with hope they might finally get an answer to Stacy’s whereabouts.

State police didn't give the family details about the nature of the lead or where the tip came from, but were told "it’s a very good lead and they’e very hopeful,” Bosco said.

“They’ve been more positive on this than any of the leads they had in the past,” she added. “If it pans out, fine. If it doesn’t, we won’t be surprised. We’ve been down this road before, just like in Chanahon,” she said, referring to a body found in the Des Plaines River a year ago that was believed might be Stacy.

So where did the tip come from?
TMZ.com was reporting that it came from another inmate who said Drew Peterson told the fellow inmate where he buried his fourth wife. But both police and Peterson’s attorney scoffed at that report.

“The tip did not come from an inmate at the jail,” said Will County Sheriff’s spokesman Pat Barry. “The people I've talked with have no knowledge of anything.”

“Drew couldn’t talk to somebody if he wanted to,” said his attorney, Joel Brodsky. “I heard it’s a friend of a friend of a friend — there’s nothing there. I think TMZ should stick to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.”

Sources confirm that law enforcement, using dogs, first searched a hunting area near Peoria Friday. State Police and Will County State’s Attorney officials are back today. Stacy Peterson has been missing since Oct. 26, 2007. Peterson is considered a suspect in her disappearance. He has said he suspects she is still alive somewhere.

Peterson is about to stand trial, as soon as next month, in the 2004 drowning death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Her death was initally ruled an accident, but authorities reopened the case after Stacy Peterson disappeared. A new autopsy ruled it was a homicide, and Peterson was arrested and charged with murder.

He has denied any involvement in Savio's death or Stacy Peterson's disappearance. “Ever since Stacy disappeared, there have been numerous rumors about finding her body and about Drew. The one thing all of them have had in common is they always proved to be false,” Peterson defense attorney Steven Greenberg said Saturday.

“There's no real facts or evidence to back them up. In fact, there's never been a single piece of hard evidence in either Stacy's disappearance or Kathleen's death, that shows Drew is guilty of anything," Greenberg maintained.

Illinois State Police with the help of a local anthropological team were searching since daybreak in a rural area outside Peoria where Stacy's body was believed to have been buried. Officials planned to return later in the week with more "sophisticated equipment."

Dang, maybe this is one reason why the ISP closed the search so abruptly, put the sides of the search tent down and left a bit after 6p.  They got out of that area just in the nick of time!

Witnesses describe Elmwood, Il, as war zone as 15 tornadoes reportedly touch down near Peoria, Il 

At least 15 tornados have touched down in the Tri-County Area between 7:45 p.m. and 9:15 p.m., and a tornado watch for much of central Illinois remains in effect until 11 p.m.

Two of those tornados hit Elmwood four minutes apart, causing what witnesses said looked like a war zone.

Officials there said there were no apparent injuries or fatalities as of 9:30 p.m.

Tornados also touched down in Peoria, Hanna City, Washington and East Peoria. Damage reports from those twisters were not immediately available.

An 'on the scene' report by a local, a member at WS, who posted these over there:

It's Not the Nanny     
06-05-2010 11:11 PM

Sorry it's taken so long for me to get back on here!

My friend and I were on our way out to dinner and decided to drive by the property. Several police cars were at the end of the drive blocking it's entrance. You could not see any activity or how many cars/police were on the scene due to the woods and rolling hills. (you definitely couldn't see the blue tent from the road)

My friend and I drove a bit farther down from the driveway entrance they were blocking and parked next to a TV truck from Chicago 7. We befriended the camera guy and he said he really thought something was found by what they were hearing and how the LE were acting.

I asked where all the other news media crews were (no local media was there ... and only this one station out of Chicago). He said they were holding a press conference across town that was about to start at any moment.

After waiting around for a while (and listening to some funny stories about Geraldo and DP while staking out his house), a trailor carrying an excavator came down the driveway from the scene and drove away.

A few mins after that, 6-7 unmarked, marked, and what looked to be a CSI type van came driving down the driveway quite rapidly and took off into town. The helicopter from above followed them.

The news reporter and camera guy strongly felt they had found something and had distracted the media and observers with the press conference which was being held quite a distance away. They did a live broadcast for the 6pm news while we watched. (The Chicago Tribune interviewed us, too, while were waiting...maybe that will be in the paper tomorrrow?)

I'm on the fence as to whether or not they were creating a distraction or if they were really wrapping up for the day.

Of course, then, a horrible tornado came right through our area (and the actual location they were searching) so it's been a bit of a wild night!

A lot of people we talked to seem to think there is some connection with the gun/sportmen club on the property and DP.

~~~

It's Not the Nanny 
06-05-2010 11:15 PM

Wanted to add:

The TV reporter from Chicago 7 and the camera guy thought the van that pulled away quickly was a coroner vehicle ... but I couldn't read anything on it.

It's Not the Nanny     
06-05-2010 11:33 PM

it was a bit surreal to be able to go to the scene! (I follow Caylee's case quite closely) It was even weirder to be covering in the corner of a dept store while the tornados passed!

I hope the weather didn't disrupt any evidence at the location!!!!

I also found it odd that there was only 1 news truck/reporter and only about 6 people standing there watching.

no word yet on if this pc will be national or local, or just to the media.

I have become so cynical following some of these cases that I can't help but wonder if this is an instance of someone looking for some free publicity at Stacy's expense.  She needs to be found and the person responsible for her disappearance needs to suffer for eternity.

I am praying this isn't the case. And that it will lead them to Stacy.  But we have seen this happen in so many of the cases we have followed. Were we get our hopes up and it's nothing.  After reading about the weather there yesterday maybe like Wykes said they had to stop for the safety of everyone.

No sign of Stacy Peterson on Ill. farm
Sunday, June 06, 2010 8:17 AM
un. 6, 2010 (United Press International) -- Searchers say they may return to the central Illinois farm where they spent part of the weekend searching for the body of Stacy Peterson.
A jailhouse tip led investigators to the farm where they dug up a small area on Saturday but found no trace of Peterson, who disappeared in 2007.

"We've been down different paths before and there have been disappointments before," said Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Tom Burek. "I don't want to stand here and tell you this is the magical lead that's going to solve the case.

Police visited the 150-acre alfalfa farm outside Peoria after a jail inmate urged them to search near a gun club in downstate Illinois, a source told the Chicago Tribune. Authorities narrowed it down to the farm, which is owned by a man who said he did not know suspect Drew Peterson and was stunned when detectives contacted him.

Peterson, a former Bolingbrook, Ill., police sergeant, is in jail charged with killing his third wife, Kathleen Savio, in 2004. He has denied any role in the subsequent disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy.

Do you think the brother gave up the info and there is a diversion to protect him in the witness protection plan? Thus the secrecy? (wasn't it the brother who helped him carry out the big metal box... and then we don't know what happened after that...)

As a Dirty Cop..Drew knew many unsavory people.  I guarantee he called in some favors to help him permanently dispose of the body. Also the phrasing the farm owner used gives me pause..he said LE had very specific coordinates.  That sounds like GPS to me....and someone may have saved that info on their cellphone, car GPS ,whatever..to cash in with in the future if they needed to use it to their advantage.

This is what I believe also Gypsy-

I think this information is credible, because I have a feeling the inmate supplying it was a decoy.

In other words, Brodsky can say all he wants about his client being in isolation. However, there are all kinds other inmates in positions of contact.

Think about the con who brings his lunch, takes his tray, the book cart- happens all the time.

Pure rumor from a source I admit, but I believe the "informant" was posed to be someone that Peterson assumed he could trust, from, as Gypsy stated, former seedy dealings,and the auspice was they needed to know where she was so that they could move her again before the Savio trial.

I am holding out that they will be back this week with more sophisticated equipment, which I believe is GPR, and some other tools designed to detect advanced ground disturbances, etc.

Stacy Peterson's Sister Reacts To News Of Search

(http://llnw.image.cbslocal.com/27/2007/11/16/175x131/wbbm1116stacyandcassandra.jpg)
As you can imagine, any new developments in the Stacy Peterson case brings a ray of hope to her family. They've been waiting years to find out what happened to her. CBS 2's Mike Puccinelli talked to Stacy's sister about this latest search.

"It's good to see them following through with the lead, or whatever tip they got," said Cassandra Cales, Stacy Peterson's sister.

Cales looks at video of State Police investigators digging in search of her sister, who hasn't been seen in more than two and a half years. And although she's been out of sight, Cales says she's never been out of mind, even with the passage of time.

"There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about her," she said.

Cales says not knowing exactly what happened to her sister is the hardest part. She believes this latest lead could finally bring her the closure she so desperately needs, but she fears it won't.

"I'm not getting my hopes up now. If there is human remains there, you still got DNA testing and that could take a month. I don't want to put myself through all that," she said.

Sources say that could be expedited, because in recent weeks, both of Drew and Stacy Peterson's kids were swabbed for DNA to be used in case remains are found.

But Peterson's defense attorney says he's confident this is just the latest in a line of false leads.

"From 2007, when we had the false lead of the truck driver, to just six months ago when we had the false lead of the skeleton that was found, that turned out to be the skeleton of a man, all the way through to today," Brodsky said.

Brodsky says he spoke with Peterson Saturday, and his client's mood never changed, even when he learned of the massive search taking place near Peoria.

"I can tell you that his mood was upbeat and confident, and he was looking forward to the trial when we started the conversation," Brodsky said. "And 20 minutes later, when we finished the conversation, his mood was still upbeat."

Still, Cales says cadaver dogs did hit on the area where investigators were digging.

And although the search ended with no major discoveries, she says they'll be back out there in the days to come.

And she says, even if Peterson isn't worried about this latest search, she believes he has a lot more on his mind.

"It feels pretty good. I have my freedom. I can wake up in the morning, go to work, enjoy the sunshine," said Cales. "He's locked in an 8 by 10 cell for most of the day. And he has time to just think about what he's done."

Cales is convinced that Drew Peterson killed his third wife, Kathleen Savio, in order to avoid having to pay her in their divorce settlement.

She believes he murdered Stacy just days after she met with a divorce attorney.

Brodsky and Peterson maintain that Stacy ran off with another man. Cales says her sister would never have abandoned the two kids she had with Drew Peterson, or Savio's two boys who she was raising.

Stacy Peterson search suspended, but not over
Digging on Will County farm could resume Monday

8:41 p.m. CDT, June 6, 2010
Authorities said Sunday they are still actively pursuing a tip that Stacy Peterson's body is buried on a sprawling farm near Peoria, but it was unclear whether they would resume a search there Monday.

Sources said the search would resume Monday, but Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Tom Burek insisted there were no plans to restart the search that quickly. Burek also denied reports that authorities suspended the search at dusk Saturday because they wanted to wait for the delivery of special electronic equipment. Authorities did not search on Sunday.

Jury selection for the Savio murder case is in July 2010...

I can see DP and his sidekick JB planning to trick (insert name here) by talking to this person in private and giving him a fantastic story because they know the guy will go straight to the police.

With police searching and digging around the area, and all the present and past "leads" turning to be unfounded, people sooner or later will begin to think that poor DP is getting a bad wrap and that maybe his wife (Stacey) did run away, and maybe he is innocent of killing his ex-wife... the proverbial "reasonable doubt."

I bet he's giggling his butt off in jail while everyone is scrambling around. Of course JB knows they are searching in the wrong spot.

They are two of a kind.

PEORIA – A search in central Illinois for the remains of Drew Peterson’s fourth wife could resume as early as today.

Investigators combed a remote area near Peoria on Saturday for Stacy Peterson, who disappeared in 2007. Peoria County Coroner Johnna Ingersoll confirms no human remains were found Saturday. Authorities say they were acting on a tip, but didn’t search Sunday or offer other details.

Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Tom Burek says investigators aren’t finished with the search and consider the lead active.

Drew Peterson Search Finds Only Opossum Bones
Published June 07, 2010
| Associated Press
LEWISTOWN, Ill. -- An anthropologist who helped authorities search a central Illinois location for the remains of Drew Peterson's fourth wife says he found only opossum bones.

But anthropologist Alan Harn believes authorities have a "really good" tip about Stacy Peterson, who disappeared in 2007. He's advised investigators to return to the area near Peoria with a device that gets images of what's underground.

Harn told The Associated Press on Monday that he excavated three sites on Saturday identified by cadaver-sniffing dogs.

Drew Peterson is a suspect in Stacy Peterson's disappearance. He's in custody at the Will County Jail while awaiting trial for the murder of a previous wife. He's denied wrongdoing.

Harn says the tip about the site came from "a representative" of someone in jail. He declined to say more.

 Trial Moves Forward Despite Search for Stacy Peterson
Cops say new equipment is needed
By IVANNA HAMPTON
Updated 2:13 PM CDT, Mon, Jun 7, 2010
Developments in the search for Drew Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, won't put a kink into the prosecutions plans to convict him of his third wife, Kathleen Savio's, murder.

Chuck Pelkie, a spokesman for the Will County State's Attorney's office, says the search for the remains of Stacy Peterson, which blew up this weekend after a a tip given to them by an inmate at the Joliet jail where Drew Peterson is being held.

The trial will still begin on July 8.

In the meantime, Illinois State Police officers plan to go back to the Peoria Hunting grounds where this weekend they searched for the body of Stacy Peterson.

Cops will return David Alwan's 150-acre farm in Dunlap sometime after Monday to follow up on the tip about Stacy Peterson's body being hidden in a drum and buried underground there.

The tip came from an inmate who has allegedly spoken with Drew Peterson about Stacy Peterson's alleged murder. He told police that Peterson revealed how he killed Stacy, stuffed her body in a metal drum, and buried it on private hunting grounds with help of an accomplice, according to sources from TMZ.com.

Police dogs reportedly led officers to a spot on the hunting grounds Friday, and prongs placed in the ground hit a mass believed to be the metal drum containing Stacy's body.

Illinois State Police, with the help of a local anthropological team, searched all day Saturday but said they needed to return with more "sophisticated equipment."

Peterson's lawyer, Joel Brodsky told NBC 5 that his client couldn't have confided in a fellow inmate because he is isolated from the rest of the prison population and can't talk to other inmates.

"He says he would only wish that they would give him a cell mate to talk to. He's been in isolation now for close to 13 months and it's wearing on him," Brodsky said. He calls the "tip" a stunt to drum up bad press about his client before he goes on trial for the death of his third wife Kathleen Savio next month.

Anthropologist: Cops convinced they're close to finding Stacy Peterson body


(WBBM) -- The original report said the weekend search for Stacy Peterson's body was prompted by a jailhouse source. But Chicago Sun- Times Columnist Michael Sneed quotes a top official in law enforcement as saying that's not true: The official reportedly says the source sought out investigators and the validity of the tip is being reassessed.

Meanwhile, the anthropologist working with state police tells WBBM's Steve Miller authorities are "very convinced' the remains are near the places they've already looked.

The search for Peterson's body is expected to resume in the next few days.

It's not hard for anthropologist Alan Harn to tell if an area of ground might have been disturbed:  That is, if someone has been buried there.

He knows what to look for, as he checks the first several inches of soil.

Saturday's search of two areas on land near Peoria turned up nothing at one area, and possum bones at the other.

"It turned out to be a possum.  And there were elements of two different possums down in there."

Harn says despite not finding human remains, he believes authorities are still convinced Stacy Peterson's body is buried on that property near Peoria.

"I think they're very convinced.  I think they're very convinced that she is somewhere on that property.  And I think they're very convinced that it's not very far from where we were."

Harn has been an anthropologist at Dickson Mounds Museum in Lewiston for 49 years - and has helped solve anthropological puzzles - and crimes - along the way, including the Larry Bright serial murders in the Peoria area.

Former police officer Drew Peterson, 56, is a suspect in the disappearance of Stacy Peterson, his fourth wife. She was 23 when she disappeared. He's in custody at the Will County Jail awaiting trial for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. He's denied any wrongdoing.

A spokesman for the Will County state's attorney's office says a search for Stacy Peterson's remains won't delay Peterson's upcoming trial for the murder of Saviol

Spokesman Chuck Pelkie said Monday prosecutors plan to move forward with the scheduled July 8 date.

Stacy Peterson disappeared in 2007. Drew Peterson has speculated she ran away with another man and denies any wrongdoing.

Report: Peterson tip not from inmate

Updated at 11:35 AM today

June 8, 2010 (WLS) -- The tip that led state police to search for missing Bolingbrook mother Stacy Peterson in a rural location near Peoria apparently did not come from one of husband Drew Peterson's fellow inmates.

The Sun-Times is reporting the source was the one who sought out police and that it's not someone who was locked up with the retired 56-year-old police officer in Will County Jail as other reports had indicated.

Nothing was found during Saturday's search of the central Illinois wooded area.

Police sources say they could start searching again if they determine that the information they got from their source is credible.

Anthropologist Alan Harn believes authorities have a "really good" tip about Stacy Peterson. He's advised investigators to return to the area near Peoria with a device that gets images of what's underground.

Harn told The Associated Press Monday that he excavated three sites Saturday identified by cadaver-sniffing dogs.

Harn says the tip about the site came from "a representative" of someone in jail. He declined to say more.

The search in a remote, muddy area near Peoria is based on what state police also called a "credible lead" in the case.

The attorney for Stacy's husband borrowed from Shakespeare Saturday, saying it was much ado about nothing.

Yet, there was enough in a tip of unknown origin to send an entire investigative team and all their gear 140 miles away to dig in the woods -- for something.

Investigators set up a canopy to provide cover in a small area where they were digging. The site was located approximately one mile off the road on a heavily wooded farm outside of Peoria. The Kickapoo Creek flows nearby.

Authorities were calling it a possible crime scene, but they wouldn't say specifically what they were looking for or what brought them to the site.

Investigators wouldn't say if they found anything of interest Saturday but that they intend to return to the site.

"I don't want to allude to looking for a body. We're looking for evidence of a crime based on this lead that we have," Ill. State Police Sgt. Tom Burek said.

Peoria County Coroner Johnna Ingersoll confirmed forensics teams were summoned to the scene and that excavation work was under way to search for human remains. The coroner also said no human remains had been found as of Saturday.

There were early reports that the search might have been the result of a tip from an inmate in the Will County Jail. But Drew Peterson is in isolation, and his attorneys say he has no contact with any other inmates.

"I'm not saying a person gave us the tip. It's a lead the investigation team has. Where they got the lead, I'm not in a position that I want to comment on that at this stage," said Burek.

Rains reduced the land at the search site to a "muddy mess," meaning that parts were inaccessible by vehicle and investigators had to comb the area on foot, Burek said early Saturday.

"The only thing that connects to all these leads, all these rumors, is each and every one of them has turned out to be false. Each and every one of them has turned out to be without basis, and each and every one of them turned out to be nothing but gossip," said Joel Brodsky, Drew Peterson's attorney.

On Saturday, Brodsky released a statement that read in part, "There has never been one, single factual piece of evidence regarding either Stacy's disappearance, or in the death of Kathy Savio, that shows that Drew is guilty of any wrongdoing whatsoever."

He also called the most recent search "patently ridiculous."

"Drew's position from day one has always been that she ran off with another man because that's what she told him," Brodsky said.

Third wife Savio was found dead in an empty bathtub six years ago. Her death was initially ruled accidential but then ruled a homicide after prosecutors reopened the case following Stacy Peterson's disappearance.

On Saturday, those who knew Stacy Peterson just wanted and hoped for closure.

"It was incredibly emotional. It'll bring a lot of closure. Her family and friends really need that," said family friend Jamie Holt.

Her family said they were unsure what to make of Saturday's search.

"We just want to know where she's at. That's what we want to know. It would mean everything to us. We want to find her and bring her home," aunt Candace Aikin said.

The owner of the property where the search was conducted says police told him they had solid leads and specific coordinates for their search.

Police are "extremely confident" that the body of Stacy Peterson, the missing ex-wife of accused murderer Drew Peterson, is near the area they searched last weekend, according to the Joliet Herald News.

After searching for a full day on a rural downstate farm, authorities suspended the search last Sunday as they awaited more sophisticated equipment to help detect human remains.

Am wondering if the dirt in the search area is drying out yet?  Sigh. 

The anthropologist who was looking around under that tented area wasn't 'digging' for her remains, perse.  He was very carefully testing the soil, comparing one part with another part, to see if the ground had been 'disturbed'.  A very tedious process.  His recommendation that the search commence is very telling, IMO.  Says to me that he has found that the ground indeed has been 'disturbed'.  LE leaving the area, with the tent still up and posting guard, tells me they intend to be back.   

Seems they are waiting for more specialized equipment, and for the soil to dry out, the weather to level out a bit.  Think of trying to dig in a bunch of mud..... the first thing that will happen is the mud surrounding every shoveful will just slide down and replace what was taken out.  They gotta wait til it dries somewhat.  From what I've read so far, what they may be waiting on is a ground radar device, which may take some time to get. 

And I don't think the ISP wants media breathing down their necks when they commence the search.  Which is understandable.  Don't get me wrong, I wanna be right there via the media and know exactly what is happening and when.  Yet if it means finding Stacy's remains more quickly, then by all means, let the media know after it's all said and done.  Anything to have her remains found, so that closure and justice can then be brought on her behalf. 

Seems it all can begin with the soil drying out.  Sigh.  Waiting... waiting.. drumming fingers on desk...

Deadline looms for police in Stacy Peterson case
Updated at 10:42 AM today
June 24, 2010 (WLS) -- Thursday is the deadline for state police to give a Will County judge information on their latest lead in the search for Stacy Peterson.

Earlier this month, police searched a wooded area near Peoria for the missing Bolingbrook mother's body but found nothing. Her husband, Drew Peterson, 56, is suspected in her disappearance.

Last week, Judge Stephen White ordered state police to give him their investigative reports on the search so he can determine what Drew Peterson's attorney can see.

Drew Peterson is set to stand trial next month for the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. He denied killing Savio and insists that Stacy Peterson left on her own.

Police: Stacy Peterson search held near Galesburg

Last update Aug 12, 2010 @ 06:00 AM
GALESBURG — Illinois State Police involved in the Stacy Peterson investigation say they've searched an area near Galesburg.

Sgt. Thomas Burek says investigators were acting on a tip, but the Aug. 3 search didn't turn up anything.

Burek says he can't say what investigators were looking for, but it wasn't necessarily a body.

He says the search was related to a tip that led investigators to a remote area near Peoria in June. That search also didn't turn up anything.

Burek declined to give further details.

Stacy Peterson is the fourth wife of former suburban Chicago police officer Drew Peterson. He's awaiting trial for the murder of a previous wife.

Authorities say he's a suspect in the disappearance of Stacy Peterson who went missing in 2007.

Drew Peterson has denied any wrongdoing.

Drew Peterson Offered Woman Stacy Peterson’s Clothes
April 7, 2011 4:04 PM

CHICAGO (WBBM) — A suburban woman says Drew Peterson offered to give her the clothing of his missing fourth wife, Stacy.

But Peterson’s lawyer says Peterson was betrayed by the woman, who wrote letters to Peterson after the ex-cop was jailed on charges that he killed his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

 ::snipping2::

After the correspondence began, Peterson reportedly offered to give Grandel the clothes of his missing fourth wife, Stacy.

Grandel has now sold her story to the National Enquirer.

Drew Peterson Pen Pal, Diana Grandel, Reveals Extent of Romantic Relationship

Diana Grandel

Chicago - She's now known as the love letter lady friend of Drew Peterson. Diana Grandel doesn't apologize for writing to the accused wife-killer. In fact, she admits to being a prolific pen pal with Peterson , estimating they exchanged 200 letters.
 ::snipping2::
Grandel spoke to FOX Chicago at the Glen Ellyn offices of her attorney, George Kallas.

She said she met Peterson when she was about 15. Peterson, as a Bolingbrook police officer, rescued her from a violent father.

"He removed me from the house and took me to a neighbor’s house. He was concerned for my safety," Grandel recalled.

Her feelings for Peterson did not change even after he became a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife Stacy in 2007, or when he was charged in 2009 with murdering his third wife Kathleen Savio.

In fact, Grandel felt so bad for Peterson after his arrest on May 7, 2009 that she began to write him in jail.
In the months that followed the tone of the letters moved from friendly to flirtatious and even downright sexual.

"I want to spend a lot of time with my lips on yours," Peterson wrote in one letter.
 ::snipping2::
One of Peterson's attorneys said the love letters are getting blown out of proportion.

"It's just another way of social networking, if he had the ability to go on Facebook, I'm sure he'd be on Facebook," said Joseph Lopez.

Last summer, though, things suddenly changed after Grandel lost everything in an apartment fire.

In love letters she sold to the National Enquirer, Peterson wrote, "I have a closet full of new or like-new clothes that Stacy left behind when she abandoned us."

He then offered the clothes to Grandel. That left her stunned and wondering, if she felt so devastated about what she lost in the fire, how could Stacy have just run off?

"I can't imagine she walked away from everything, and hasn't wanted anything back, her kids, nothing," Grandel said.

All of a sudden Grandel no longer believed Peterson's story. Now she thinks he killed her.

 ::snipping2::
That is when the pen pal friendship ended.

One of the goals of TEAM STACY PETERSON is to focus attention in the media, and in the community, back on the victims of intimate partner violence and missing persons and away from the news coverage of the perpetrators. Stacy Peterson is the missing 4th wife of former Bolingbrook Sergeant Drew Peterson, currently charged with the murder of his 3rd wife, Kathleen Savio.

According to Stacy’s sister, Cassandra Cales, “Every time we turn around there’s Drew’s picture in the news again. The media has given him enough attention, let’s bring it back where it belongs, let’s get Stacy’s picture back out in the press, after all, she is still missing!” Stacy Peterson has been missing since October 28, 2007 under suspicious circumstances.

Stacy Peterson Vanished 4 Years Ago — Police Probe 'Very Active'
There's been no sign of Stacy Peterson since she vanished four years ago today, but her family believes the police are still working hard to find her, and the husband they suspect harmed her remains in jail on a murder charge.
By Joseph Hosey Email the author5:59am

On Oct. 18, Stacy and Drew Peterson would have been able to celebrate their eighth wedding anniversary together, maybe slipping off on a romantic Caribbean getaway as they had in the past.

Only Drew Peterson has been locked up since 2009 on charges he murdered the woman he left for Stacy. And the last anyone saw of Stacy was exactly four years ago today.

That’s because she took off on a tropical trip of her own with some other guy, never to be seen again. At least that’s the way Drew Peterson told it. Not that anyone — particularly the police — seemed to buy his story.

Instead, within weeks of Stacy’s disappearance, Illinois State Police Capt. Carl Dobrich declared that the missing mother was the victim of a “potential homicide” and that Drew Peterson was the sole suspect in a massive criminal investigation.

But four years later, Stacy remains missing and Drew Peterson, though jailed on charges he murdered his previous wife, Kathleen Savio, faces no charges in connection with harming Stacy.

The state police did not respond to a request for an update on the case, but Pam Bosco, a friend of Stacy’s family and their spokeswoman, said the family is in regular contact with investigators.

“We have our meetings with the Illinois State Police,” Bosco said. “They’re very active and sincere in this being an active investigation.”

Peterson Trial: Judge to question lawyer before testimony ruling
A judge wants to question an attorney before deciding whether the man can testify in the murder trial of former Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson.

June 7, 2012

JOLIET, Ill. (AP) -- A judge says he wants to question an attorney before deciding whether the man can testify in the murder trial of former Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson.

Harry Smith says Stacy Peterson, Drew Peterson's third wife, told him Peterson was angry because he thought she'd revealed he killed Kathleen Savio, who was found dead in a bathtub in 2004.

Smith was called to testify Wednesday in a hearing over whether Savio had waived the attorney-client privilege before her death.

Burmila also ruled the jury for Peterson's trial in Stacy Peterson's death will be picked from a panel assembled nearly three years ago.

Stacy Peterson's Brother Back in Prison
July 2, 2012

The sex offender brother of Drew Peterson's missing fourth wife often attended the month-long 2010 hearsay hearing held to set the ground rules for evidence in the disgraced ex-cop's murder trial.

But it looks like Stacy's brother Yelton Cales won't be making it to the Will County court trial itself, as he was hauled off to prison last week to serve a three-year sentence.

Cales, 32, was locked up in Stateville Correctional Center Thursday. It was his fourth trip to prison. In the past Cales has done time for domestic battery, possession of a stolen motor vehicle and aggravated criminal sexual abuse. This time Cales was sent away for driving with a revoked or suspended license.
 ::snipping2::
Cales' little sister Stacy Peterson mysteriously vanished in October 2007 and has yet to be found. The state police suspect Drew Peterson had a hand in her disappearance, but have yet to charge him with harming her.

Murder trial of Drew Peterson to begin later this month
Published July 06, 2012

 ::snipping2::
Jury selection is scheduled to begin July 23, with opening statements penciled in for one week later, on July 30. The trial had been delayed for more than two years as prosecutors and attorneys for the 58-year-old suspect clashed over the admissibility of key testimony, including a bathtub prosecutors describe as "the murder weapon."
 
"Yes, your honor," Peterson told Will County Judge Edward Burmila when asked if he was "comfortable" with the date. "I've been in solitary confinement for three years, your honor."
 
One challenge facing attorneys is empaneling a jury that either doesn't know about, or at least won't be influenced by the fact that Peterson is suspected in the disappearance of Stacy Peterson. Both cases have gotten widespread publicity, thanks to Peterson's oddly gregarious nature in the face of suspicions and a Lifetime television movie starring Rob Lowe as Peterson. Defense attorneys concede that it may not be possible to find jurors who don't know about Stacy Peterson.
 
"There will be no mention … that she is dead, presumed dead, killed by the defendant or anything of the kind," Burmila ruled.

WEST END Cincinnati restaurateur Jeff Ruby stepped up his campaign to find the body of Stacy Peterson, whom he claims was killed by her ex-husband Drew Peterson.

Ruby substantially raised the reward for information leading to the whereabouts and recovery of Stacy Peterson, who has been missing since October 2007.

“I am bringing the reward up to $100,000 for information leading to the whereabouts of what’s left of the body of Stacy Peterson,” Ruby said. “We think somebody knows something but they were afraid to come forward and $100,000 quite frankly makes people get a little bit more brave.”

Prosecutor Will Decide Soon Whether Drew Peterson Faces New Charges
September 7, 2012 3:48 PM

CHICAGO (CBS) – The prosecutor who convicted Drew Peterson of killing his third wife, Kathleen Savio, will decide in a couple of weeks whether he’ll charge Peterson in connection with the disappearance of his fourth wife.
 
Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow says he also plans to travel to Springfield to ask lawmakers to grant greater legal protections to women.
 
The prosecutor says there is undue insulation for husbands who kill their wives – legal protections that made prosecuting Peterson more difficult.
 ::snipping2::
Glasgow said Friday he’s waiting for the conclusion of another high-profile trial – the murder trial of Christopher Vaughn, who’s accused of killing his family — before convening investigators and prosecutors to discuss additional charges against Peterson. That could happen in the next couple of weeks.
 
Drew Peterson is considered a suspect in Stacy Peterson’s disappearance.

Drew Peterson defense team crumbles as new charges over wife Stacy may loom
September 26, 2012


Drew Peterson, the former Bolingbrook, Il., cop who was convicted of the first degree murder of third wife Kathleen Savio earlier this month, could face new charges over the disappearance of fourth wife Stacy Peterson. Radar Online reports today that a new witness has come forward that could produce new evidence that could be used to convict Drew Peterson in Stacy’s missing person case.
 ::snipping2::
According to the new issue of the National Enquirer on stands Thursday, it’s being reported that police have a new witness who claims Drew Peterson asked him to stalk Stacy Peterson because he suspected her of cheating on him. The witness is described as a “wannabe cop” and dropout from the policy academy who met Drew in a martial arts class.

The new witness clammed up when police began asking questions about the infamous blue barrel that Peterson carried from his home on the day Stacy went missing in October of 2007. Drew’s step-brother helped carry the barrel and believes Stacy Peterson’s body was hidden inside.

“Once they started questioning the witness about the blue barrel he flipped out”, the inside source said. “He immediately insisted that he needed a lawyer”.

This witness abruptly moved 1,000 miles away soon after Peterson was arrested in 2009 for Savio’s death. The source said, “He just bailed. Guilty people act like that”. State’s Attorney James Glasgow is said to be preparing a murder indictment and the witness may be offered some form of immunity for testifying against Drew Peterson.

FBI, police search Hammel Woods for Stacy Peterson
Updated at 05:09 PM today

November 5, 2012 (SHOREWOOD, Ill.) (WLS) -- The day-long search in a Shorewood forest preserve by boat, with dogs and a helicopter on Monday was for Drew Peterson's missing wife, Stacy Peterson, according to law enforcement sources.

Stacy Peterson, 23, disappeared in Oct. 2007. She was Drew's fourth wife. Investigators previously tracked cell phone activity from Stacy's number to the Shorewood area about the time she was last seen.

The search on Monday in Hammel Woods is not believed to be linked to new information or specific tips and an Illinois State Police source said that they did not find a body.

The ISP was assisted on Monday by the FBI. Neither agency would speak officially about the operation-except to say it was part of an on-going criminal investigation.

State Cops & FBI Searching For Stacy Peterson in Hammel Woods

A helicopter, police dogs, state cops and federal agents were searching for missing mom Stacy Peterson in Hammel Woods Monday.

Federal agents and state cops searched through Hammel Woods forest preserve in Shorewood Monday looking for signs of missing mom Stacy Peterson.

A state police source confirmed that the operation—which included at least one helicopter and police dogs—was part of the search effort for the Bolingbrook mother, who disappeared in October 2007.

Weeks after Stacy vanished, state police officials named her husband, Drew Peterson, 58, as the sole suspect in the investigation the then-23-year-old's disappearance.

Peterson has never been charged with harming Stacy, but was convicted in September of murdering his previous wife, Kathleen Savio.

 ::snipping2::

Prior to the search, the state police told forest preserve officials they were doing nothing more in Hammel Woods than training, said Bruce Hodgdon, the spokesman for the Will County Forest Preserve.

Joan Hyde, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Chicago office, confirmed that agents were in Hammel Woods "working with ISP as part of an ongoing criminal investigation."

The state police source said the operation was not prompted by a recent tip or breakthrough in the investigation, but was merely one of a number of periodic searches. These searches are conducted in areas that investigators believe Stacy's body may have been left, and Shorewood contains a number of them.

Peterson's stepbrother, Thomas Morphey, has said Peterson enlisted him in an effort to frame former Shorewood resident Scott Rossetto for Stacy's murder. Peterson believed Stacy and Rossetto were carrying on romantically behind his back, Morphey and other sources have said.

Officials have said they found cell phone activity from Stacy's cell phone in the Shorewood area around the time she disappeared.

Police agencies again search forest preserve for Stacy Peterson

Updated: November 7, 2012 4:41PM

SHOREWOOD — Investigators using dogs searched Hammel Woods again Wednesday.

The FBI and state police have been looking through the 400-acre Will County forest preserve this week. They won’t say publicly what they’re looking for.
 
A police source told Chicago Sun-Times columnist Michael Sneed, however, that investigators are searching for missing mom Stacy Peterson, the wife of convicted murderer and former Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson.

The search was actually a repeat of one done two years ago by state police, said the source, who added that the search was based on an old lead; Authorities had been waiting for the availability of cadaver dogs.
 
Since Monday, an FBI Mobile Command truck has been parked near the Black Road entrance while groups have searched the woods. Around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday about 10 investigators returned with hiking sticks, small shovels and yellow poles used to prod loose soil.

As one man wearing FBI garb walked a hiking path and looked at an aerial photograph, another wearing a jacket labeled “Evidence Response Team” followed a springer spaniel running through the nearby trees.

I really wish Stacy Peterson could be found, first and foremost for her and her family, and she could be laid to rest.  After that, I think finding Stacy might provide some forensics and help wipe the smirk off Drew's face.  ::boxingmonkeys::   I'm afraid Drew had enough knowledge and advance planning (and some help!) to dispose of Stacy, so finding her will be next to impossible. But it sure would be great if she could be found.

Will Co. State's Attorney James Glasgow considering going forward in Stacy Peterson case
Wednesday, November 07, 2012

November 7, 2012 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow indicated Wednesday night that his office is considering whether to go forward with a case involving the disappearance of Drew Peterson's fourth wife Stacy.

"After we sentence Drew Peterson, or after he is sentenced on the current case, we'll be sitting down and reassessing the case we've put together with regards to Stacy Peterson," he said.

A four-day search of Hammel Woods in Shorewood by criminal investigators was scheduled to end Thursday.

Investigators used small shovels and yellow poles to prod loose soil while walking through wooded areas with trained springer spaniels.
 
Springer spaniels are regularly used as “cadaver dogs” and it is not unheard of for the animals to find remains that have been exposed to the elements for more than a decade.

Investigators end 5-day search for Stacy Peterson's body
4:02 p.m. CST, November 9, 2012

Investigators from the Illinois State Police and FBI today ended a five-day search for Stacy Peterson in a Shorewood forest preserve without finding the missing Bolingbrook woman’s body, officials said.

The roughly 400-acre Hammel Woods Forest Preserve has been searched before, but a “couple dozen” investigators returned to the forest this week because specialized FBI resources such as search dogs became available, said Illinois State Police spokeswoman Monique Bond.

No new tips prompted the search, which was also conducted as a training exercise for investigators, Bond said. Authorities have said some of the last calls on Stacy’s cell phone were routed through cell phone towers in Shorewood.
 ::snipping2::
They have alleged Drew Peterson made the Shorewood calls from his wife’s cell phone in an effort to frame a man with whom Stacy Peterson had traded sexual text messages.

Drew Peterson facing sentencing Thursday if new trial bid fails
7:58 p.m. CST, February 20, 2013

 ::snipping2::
Among the oddities Wednesday, during the unusual hearing on post-trial motions that has stretched across two days, was former Peterson lead attorney Joel Brodsky chatting in a courthouse hallway with Stacy's sister Cassandra Cales.

Both declined to detail their conversation. “We were just discussing how to make sure that her sister Stacy isn't forgotten after Drew goes away,” Brodsky said.

Much of Wednesday's hearing focused on Brodsky's trial decision to call Wheaton divorce attorney Harry Smith, who represented Savio in her bitter divorce fight with Peterson and also fielded a call from Stacy about her divorce options shortly before she vanished.

Smith testified at trial that Stacy had asked him if the fact that Peterson killed his third wife could be used as leverage in a divorce.

Prosecution Eyes Charging Drew Peterson in Fourth Wife's Disappearance
Feb. 22, 2013

A spokesman for the lead state prosecutor in the Drew Peterson case said that the prosecution may be looking at filing charges against the former Illinois police officer for the disappearance of his fourth wife after he was sentenced to 38 years in jail for killing his third wife.
 
"[Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow] is not precluded necessarily from charging someone with murder if there is no body," Glasgow's spokesman, Charles Pelkie, told ABCNews.com. "These cases have been prosecuted in the past."
 
Drew Peterson was sentenced on Thursday for the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, whose body was found in a bathtub, her hair soaked in blood in 2004.
 
But prosecutors also have their eyes on the case of Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, who went missing in 2007. Her body has never been found.
 
"What [Glasgow] intends to do is review that case, as well as another missing person case, the Lisa Stebic case, as well as a number of other missing persons cases, some going back 25 years," Pelkie said.

Will County prosecutor Glasgow still searching for Stacy Peterson
February 25, 2013 7:40PM
Updated: February 25, 2013 8:59PM

The Peterson case . . .
 
Ka-ching! The case is still alive and the money is in the bank.
 
◆ Translation: Sneed has learned that Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow has not given up his pursuit of convicted murderer Drew Peterson’s missing fourth wife, Stacy.

Sneed hears Glasgow plans to convene a summit of his legal eagles to revisit Stacy’s case in hopes of charging Peterson with her murder — and is preparing to announce that the $100,000 reward for information leading to Stacy’s whereabouts is still available.
 
◆ Set shot: “Now that Peterson is serving a 38-year sentence at the Pontiac Correctional Center for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, perhaps someone who has evidence — but was afraid to come forward because they feared Peterson would get off — will now contact us,” Glasgow told Sneed.
 
◆ Penalty shot: “I have been in touch with Jeff Ruby, the restaurateur from Cincinnati who offered the $100,000 reward before the Peterson trial, and he is willing to keep the reward going until we find Stacy,” he said.
 
◆ Back shot: Sneed is told the search for Stacy has gone cold. “There has not been a tip leading to her whereabouts for some time,” said an Illinois State Police source.
 
◆ Long shot: “I’ve ordered a sit-down with six of our attorneys to go over every significant detail in Stacy’s disappearance,” Glasgow said. “We’ve already got significant evidence. We just need to see if we can bolster what we’ve already got.”

Drew Peterson's Lawyer Kicked for Bad Behavior

CHICAGO (CN) - "Deplorable behavior" from the former defense attorney of wife-killer Drew Peterson disqualifies him from representing an unrelated client, a judge ruled.
 ::snipping2::
Judge Edward Burmilla, who presided over the Peterson trial, denied the motion for a new trial, but said he was shocked by some of Brodsky's comments and would report him to the Illinois Bar's disciplinary committee, the Tribune reported.
   
Brodsky has since been representing Fahred Salem, Mariam Salem and Jrough Al-Daoud in a civil case against Rabi Nesheiwat and George Nesheiwat.
     
The Cook County judge presiding over that case disqualified Brodsky and the attorney for the Nesheiwats on Wednesday.
     
Judge Raymond Mitchell said Brodsky and Meschino both engaged in "outbursts in open court," shouting and insulting one another, causing the judge to admonish them, increase the security in the courtroom, and ask a deputy twice to escort Meschino from the courtroom.
 ::snipping2::
"Significantly, after again being advised of this litany of bad conduct in open court today, neither Mr. Brodsky or Mr. Meschino raised an objection to disqualification in this case," the ruling states.
     
Brodsky has a case pending against his Peterson co-counsel Steve Greenberg, accusing his former co-counsel of "pathological narcissism."

September 27, 2013 12:24PM

When the Rev. Neil Schori, former pastor for Westbrook Christian Church in Bolingbrook, approached police and told them a missing woman named Stacy Peterson had confided that she was a victim of domestic abuse, Schori learned that the information was considered “hearsay” evidence.

That irked Schori, now pastor at Naperville Christian Church, especially since he considers domestic abuse a pandemic. In similar circumstances now, he has some victims fill out affidavits and make videos of their allegations, in case something happens to them.

Schori will be the keynote speaker at the Will County Take Back the Night event Thursday in Joliet.

Family Of Stacy Peterson Marks Six Year Anniversary Of Her Disappearance
October 28, 2013 2:50 PM

(CBS) — Six years ago today, Stacy Peterson disappeared from her home in Bolingbrook and her family is marking the anniversary.

It is all very personal and very private. There are no public vigils for the family of Stacy Peterson as they mark six years since she vanished – the fourth wife of Drew Peterson.

“We will always know that he was what happened to her,” said Pamela Bosco, the spokeswoman for Stacy Peterson’s family.

Drew Peterson is in prison for the murder of his third wife Kathleen Savio and won’t be eligible for release until he’s in his 90s.

Appeals court upholds firing of Drew Peterson's son
4:06 p.m. CST, December 13, 2013

Drew Peterson’s son deserved to lose his police badge for his actions after the 2007 disappearance of Peterson’s young wife, a state appellate court has affirmed.

Stephen Peterson, 34, was fired from the Oak Brook Police Department in 2011 after officials ruled that he failed to disclose important information and demonstrated poor judgment during an Illinois State Police investigation into the disappearance of Stacy Peterson, his father's fourth wife.

Former Oak Brook police officer Stephen Peterson leaves the DuPage County Courthouse in Wheaton on March 18, 2013.
 In one instance, Stephen Peterson did not tell authorities that his father gave him checks totaling $236,800 shortly after Stacy disappeared or that Drew made his adult son promise to take care of his school-age siblings if anything happened to him.
 ::snipping3::
In an unanimous decision written by Justice Ann Jorgensen and released Thursday, the Illinois Second Appellate District upheld the firing and agreed that Stephen Peterson demonstrated “poor judgment” in the wake of Stacy Peterson’s disappearance.

“No one disputes that Stephen was, at least in some respects, cooperative (with the early investigation),” Jorgensen wrote. “He answered questions when asked, disclosed information about the last-minute will, and testified for the State in the grand jury proceedings. However, no amount of cooperation can overcome the poor judgment Stephen demonstrated in accepting the weapons and money from Drew, in failing to disclose the acceptance of those items until asked, and in continuing to insist that he did nothing wrong.”
 ::snipping3::
Since his father’s arrest nearly five years ago, Stephen Peterson has been raising his younger siblings in Drew and Stacy Peterson's Bolingbrook home. His two oldest half brothers – Kathleen Savio’s sons – are  now in college. The two younger half siblings – Stacy’s children – are still in grade school.

The family's primary source of income is Drew Peterson's $79,000 pension from his nearly 30 years with the Bolingbrook Police Department. Village officials are examining whether to strip him of his retirement benefits following his murder conviction.

A Will County jury last year found Peterson guilty of drowning his third wife, Kathleen Savio, in 2004. He has not been charged in Stacy Peterson's disappearance, though authorities have said he remains the only suspect.

Drew Peterson, 59, was sentenced to 38 years in prison in February and is incarcerated at Menard Correctional Center, a maximum-security facility about 50 miles southeast of St. Louis. He will not be eligible for parole until he is 93.

Man who testified in Peterson case dies in I-55 crash
April 11, 2014

A man who died in a crash Wednesday on Interstate 55 testified against Drew Peterson, the retired police sergeant who was convicted of killing his third wife and remains the only suspect in his fourth wife's disappearance.
 ::snipping3::
Martineck testified before a grand jury investigating Stacy Peterson's disappearance and at a landmark hearsay hearing in the murder case involving Drew Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio.

His testimony in both instances helped corroborate Peterson's stepbrother Thomas Morphey's claim that he helped remove a heavy plastic container from Peterson's house on the night of Stacy's disappearance.

Morphey long has maintained that he and Peterson had met at a coffee shop on the night Stacy disappeared, then went to the couple's Bolingbrook home to move a large blue container into Peterson's car.

When he returned to his Bolingbrook neighborhood, Morphey said, he shared these details with Martineck, who lived a few houses away.

Martineck later told police that Morphey appeared "visibly upset" that night because he thought he might have helped his stepbrother "move Stacy's body."

Martineck's statement thrust him into the media spotlight trained on the Peterson case, leading to camera crews parking in front of his house and his possible motives for coming forward being scrutinized on cable news talk shows.
 ::snipping3::
If Peterson is ever charged in Stacy's disappearance, it's likely Martineck's sworn testimony in the hearsay hearing could be used in court because defense lawyers had a chance to question him, experts added.

"It's a complicated question, but it's possible," Peterson attorney Steve Greenberg said. "There would be a lot of hoops to jump through in order to do it, but I could see ways in which it would be allowed."

"That way it's known that she didn't run off," Cassandra Cales recently told the Southtown Star, countering the contention long-made by Peterson's husband, Drew Peterson, that she ran off with another man in October 2007.

October 28, 2014 1:20 PM

CHICAGO (CBS) – Seven years ago Tuesday, Stacy Peterson disappeared from her home in Will County, never to be seen again, and her family said they are now reconsidering a decision to file papers to declare her legally dead.

“No, I don’t think it’s something that we’re considering at this point,” said Pamela Bosco, spokeswoman for Stacy Peterson’s family.

That’s a reversal from this summer, when Peterson’s sister, Cassandra Cales, told the Southtown Star the family would seek to have Peterson declared legally dead to emphasize the family’s belief Peterson did not run off, as her husband Drew Peterson has claimed.

Bosco said the family is concerned if Stacy Peterson were declared legally dead, Drew Peterson might be allowed to collect on her life insurance policy.

It's good Stacy's family thought this out. Having her declared legally dead would emphasize the family's belief she didn't run off as Drew claimed, but could result in him collecting on her life insurance policy.  I believe her family has made it very clear they don't believe she ran off.  No need to have her declared, especially if Drew stood a chance to gain monetarily from this.  If it were one of my family members, I wouldn't want him to have a cent of her money.  JMHO

Stacy Peterson’s Sister Not Giving Up Search After 8 Years
October 29, 2015 2:27 PM

CHICAGO (CBS) — Eight years ago this week, Stacy Peterson disappeared from her home in Bolingbrook.

As her husband, former Bolingbrook police officer Drew Peterson, sat in prison for the murder of his previous wife, Kathleen Savio, Stacy’s sister marked another anniversary and said she’ll never give up the search.
 ::snipping3::
Cales said she takes some comfort in knowing the man suspected in Stacy’s disappearance is in prison, even if he was never charged in connection with Stacy’s disappearance.

She makes the 300 mile trip to downstate Chester for his court appearances on charges he tried have prosecutor who put him in prison, Will County State’s Attorney Jim Glasgow, killed.

“I like to go see him, and how miserable he is, and he won’t even look at me. He looks pretty unhealthy, and I don’t think he’s going to last much longer in there,” Cales said.

Inmate Testifies Drew Peterson Admitted Killing Missing Wife, Wanted Prosecutor Killed
The former police officer is accused of plotting to kill the prosecutor who put him behind bars for his third wife's death

By Charlie Wojciechowski and Associated Press


In an unexpected moment in court Monday, an inmate at the center of a murder-for-hire trial against Drew Peterson claimed the former suburban Chicago police officer, who was convicted in the murder of his third wife, admitted to also killing his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson. 

The statement came at the start of a trial on allegations Peterson tried to have the prosecutor who put him behind bars killed.

Stacy Peterson, the ex-Bolingbrook sergeant's 23-year-old fourth wife, disappeared in 2007, prompting authorities to reopen the investigation into the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

While Drew Peterson has maintained his innocence, he remains a suspect in the young woman's disappearance and was convicted and sentenced to 38 years in prison for Savio's murder.

Drew Peterson found guilty in murder-for-hire plot

Published May 31, 2016

CHESTER, Ill. –  Jurors have found former suburban Chicago police officer Drew Peterson guilty of trying to hire someone to kill the prosecutor who helped convict him in his third wife's death.

Jurors reached the verdict Tuesday afternoon after deliberating for little more than an hour.

Peterson was accused of trying to hire a fellow inmate's uncle to kill Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow. Peterson is serving a 38-year sentence in ex-wife Kathleen Savio's death and faces up to 60 more years in prison.

Drew Peterson found guilty of trying to have prosecutor killed

Chicago Tribune 


CHESTER, Ill. — Drew Peterson was found guilty Tuesday of trying to hire a hit man to kill the prosecutor who put him behind bars for murder. The jury deliberated for about an hour before finding Peterson guilty of solicitation of murder for hire and solicitation of murder.

The charges carry a prison sentence of up to 60 years.

Peterson sat hunched over, his head leaning on his left hand with his elbow on the defense table as the verdict was read by the judge. Peterson showed no visible reaction to the verdict. As Peterson left the courtroom, he glanced at Cassandra Cales — the sister of Peterson's missing wife, Stacy Peterson — and murmured something unintelligible.

Drew Peterson Trying to Get His Police Pension Back
August 3, 2016 5:17 pm ET

Just days after he was sentenced to 40 years for plotting the murder of the prosecutor who put him in prison for killing his third wife, disgraced Bolingbrook cop Drew Peterson tried to get his pension back.

Peterson’s attorney, Steve Greenberg, filed a petition for administrative review in Will County Court Tuesday.

The Bolingbrook Police Pension Board stripped Peterson of his retirement benefits in June. Peterson had put in nearly 30 years with the Bolingbrook police before retiring as a sergeant in 2007. He cashed in rather than face an internal investigation concerning the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson.

Stacy Peterson remains missing. The Illinois State police did name Peterson a suspect in her “potential homicide” but have yet to charge him with harming her.

While Stacy Peterson's case was never solved, evidence gathered during the investigation prompted police and prosecutors to take another look at the death of Peterson’s third wife, Kathleen Savio.

The pension board determined Peterson “used his specialized police training, skills and abilities to plan and commit the murder” of Savio, according to the petition for administrative review.

Drew Peterson's son: Father 'probably' killed both wives
By Kate Thayer•Contact Reporter
Chicago Tribune
February 2, 2017, 8:30 AM

 ::snipping3::
In an interview with the Tribune, and on a Lifetime cable network show that aired in January, Stephen revealed that he believes his father, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant, "probably" killed Savio. He further told the Tribune that he's come to believe his father also killed Stacy.

"Over time, you hear enough (from police). They can't all be full of s---," Stephen said. "I don't want to come out and say he did it ... but, I'm sure he did it."
 ::snipping3::
Peterson, 37, said he doesn't know details of what might have happened to Stacy, and that his father still maintains his innocence to him. Drew Peterson has not been charged in connection with Stacy's disappearance.

Since Drew Peterson's arrest, Stephen lost his job as an Oak Brook police officer for failing to disclose details of interactions he had with his father after Stacy disappeared. His marriage ended, and he moved into the Bolingbrook home Drew and Stacy once shared. He is acting as guardian to Drew and Stacy's two children, now in middle school, and looked after Drew's two sons with Savio, who are now young adults
 ::snipping3::
Last summer marked the end of Drew Peterson's pension payments, which Stephen said he had used to support the family after he lost his job in 2011. The day after Stephen Peterson learned that source of support would be cut off, he said he got a call from producers of the Lifetime show, "Monster in my Family."

"The time was right," he said.

Though he has declined interviews in the past, Peterson said he needed the $10,000 he received for doing the show, which also featured interviews with relatives of Savio and Stacy Peterson. The show focused on Drew Peterson's four marriages, his infidelity, Savio's death and the circumstances surrounding Stacy's disappearance.

Stacy Peterson's sister Cassandra Cales did not appear on the show but told the Tribune that Stephen Peterson has refused to let her see Stacy's children.

"Steve was on (the show) because he just wanted to portray himself as this good guy," Cales said. "He wants people to feel sorry for him."

Peterson doesn't dispute that he hasn't let Cales see Drew and Stacy's children, saying he doesn't "trust" Cales.

The Latest: Court upholds Drew Peterson’s murder conviction

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — The Latest on Drew Peterson’s murder conviction in the death of his third wife (all times local):

9:05 a.m.

The Illinois Supreme Court has upheld the murder conviction of former police officer Drew Peterson in the death of his third wife.

The high court ruled unanimously in an opinion released Thursday. It said that the use of hearsay testimony in Peterson’s 2012 trial for the death of Kathleen Savio did not violate Peterson’s cross-examination rights.

Savio’s body was found in a bathtub in 2004. The death was initially ruled accidental, but the case was reopened after the 2007 disappearance of Peterson’s fourth wife, Stacy Peterson.

Statements Stacy Peterson allegedly made to her pastor and others were used against Drew Peterson in the Savio case.

The 63-year-old Peterson was convicted last year of plotting to kill the prosecutor in the Savio case.

10 years later, Stacy Peterson's family hopes disappearance will be solved
Friday, October 27, 2017 06:02PM

WESTMONT, Ill. (WLS) -- Stacy Peterson disappeared 10 years ago. Her husband, Drew, is a suspect but was never charged. Now her family, friends and DuPage County prosecutors still hope her case will be solved.

Stacy Peterson's disappearance opened the door to a saga that made national tabloid headlines and resulted in the conviction of Drew Peterson for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. While the former Bolingbrook police sergeant is likely to spend the rest of his life in prison, Stacy's sister will never give up looking for her.
 ::snipping3::
While Cassandra is determined to give Stacy a proper burial and prove to people that her sister didn't run off with another man, as Drew has alleged, Will County State's Attorney Jim Glasgow said he doesn't need to find Stacy's body to charge Drew with his fourth wife's murder. Glasgow said there is substantial evidence in the case. He is currently pursuing an avenue he hopes will be the key.

"I'm not going to say we are there, but we've got something we are pursuing that is not a waste of time, so I'm anxious to see us wrap it up as quickly as possible," Glasgow said.

Ten frustrating years later, Cassandra also remains hopeful.

"No, I won't give up. And I will bring her home," she said.

On Saturday, the exact 10th anniversary of Stacy's disappearance, Cassandra will be spending the day with a sonar search team looking for Stacy. She has conducted hundreds of volunteer searches since her sister disappeared.

On Sunday, Stacy's family will hold a celebration of life service and fundraiser in Stacy's memory. Proceeds will go to Team Watters Sonar Search and Recovery.

Sister: Drew Peterson Will Be Charged Soon With Stacy's Murder
On Wednesday night, Cassandra Cales declared that murder charges will be filed soon.
By John Ferak, Patch Staff  | Mar 16, 2018 12:02 pm ET | Updated Mar 16, 2018 4:29 pm ET

BOLINGBROOK, IL - On Wednesday night, the sister of Stacy Peterson posted a lengthy message on social media letting everyone know that criminal charges are nearing against the man suspected of killing Stacy and hiding her body back in October 2007, now more than 10 years ago. Cassandra Cales reminded her murdered sister's followers on Facebook that she has never stopped searching for her sister. "It has come time for me to share with the world what I know as I will no longer bite my tongue and wait.

"Why am I coming forward with this now? What is the rush? It is because the Will County State's Attorney and Illinois State Police are moving forward to charge Drew, in the near future and without her body, for the murder of my sister," she declared.

However, Cales' post was harshly critical of the police. She mentioned that "I have fought this fight for my sister as I trust very few. Law enforcement has never worked with me or kept me apprised of their so-called 'ongoing' investigation. I have to find out my information through a back channel of contacts and my own personal investigating ..."

On Friday morning, Patch reached out to the Will County State's Attorney's Office for comment. The office was aware of Cassandra Cales' comments on social media. State's Attorney James Glasgow's spokesman Chuck Pelkie said that Glasgow has consistently maintained that "he is looking at this case with an eye toward charging it."

Stacy Peterson’s sister says new charges are impending for Drew Peterson
03/16/2018, 08:23pm

Drew Peterson may be handed new charges soon related to the murder of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, according to Stacy’s sister Cassandra Cales.

In a recent Facebook post, Cales wrote that Illinois State Police and the Will County State’s Attorney “are moving forward to charge Drew, in the near future.”

Cales is speaking out now because she is disappointed with how investigators handled the search for Stacy’s body when she disappeared on Oct. 28, 2007, according to her post, which was first reported by WBBM-Channel 2 News.

She blames investigators for missing an opportunity to recover Stacy’s body from the Sanitary and Shipping Canal.

“Law Enforcement messed up in 2007 and never sent divers down to recover her body,” Cales wrote.

She said there’s proof in a sonar image that Stacy is somewhere in the canal. Cales has spent all her money and taken on debt to retrieve the body herself, she wrote in the post.

Stacy Peterson's sister objects to Marcia Clark's TV investigation of case
April 4, 2018, 1:05 PM

Cassandra Cales, Stacy Peterson’s sister, said she has sonar images of Peterson’s body on the bottom of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal that she would never share with the public. Cales said she is “very upset” because it seems one of these images made it onto an early cut of Thursday’s episode of Marcia Clark’s new true-crime docuseries.

“When the producers reached out to my sonar team to get the rights, they were told no and if the sonar images went public, legal action would be taken,” Cales told the Tribune. “That’s not how I want my sister to be remembered — lifeless body on the bottom of the canal. I want the world to remember her as a beautiful mother, great sister.”

Clark examines the 2007 disappearance of Peterson, the fourth wife of former Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, as part of her A&E network anthology series “Marcia Clark Investigates The First 48.” A version of Thursday’s episode posted on the network’s press site for weeks featured a sonar image reportedly taken of the canal about three weeks after Stacy Peterson’s disappearance.

Sister of missing mom Stacy Peterson says she found body using sonar, cops searched but found nothing
By Elizabeth Matthews and FOX 32 Digital StaffPublished 7 hours agoUpdated 3 hours ago

JOLIET, Illinois - It's been more than a decade since Bolingbrook mom Stacy Peterson disappeared, but on Tuesday, crews were back out searching again – after Peterson's sister told police she had found a skeleton using advanced sonar.

Stacy's sister Cassandra Cales told FOX 32 Chicago that in May, she used the world's most advanced remote sonar to search the Des Plaines River near the Lockport Powerhouse, which is a power station north of Joliet.

Cales said that she has been searching for years, using more and more advanced sonar equipment, and that in May, she found a skeleton.

"Twenty-two days after my sister went missing, I had live sonar – full flesh female figure –  my sister in the water," Cales said. "The currents, the wakes, the buoyancy – all the stuff I studied. I figured it out with my better equipment and education where she washed up. And I'm not going to stop. If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself."

But on Tuesday, police crews left the river empty handed.

The Illinois State Police said in a statement: "The Illinois State Police with the assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation searched an area of the I&M canal near Lockport. This area has been searched before in recent months with unsuccessful results. The search today was also unsuccessful. No further information is available at this time."
