Police Sergeant's Wife Goes Missing

Husband's History May Present Clues


http://www.nbc5.com/family/14455029/detail.html?dl=mainclick



Be sure to read this interesting article, which includes a picture of Stacey. Also, please note the two different spellings of her name, also as Stacy, which I believe was just a media typo.

He has already buried one wife (okay, ex-wife) and been in all sorts of mischief. I'm sure he's proclaimed his innocence here. Sheesh.

October 30, 2007

It was not clear how long Peterson, the 23-year-old wife of Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, has been missing.

and

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.

and

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.

(This situation does not look good, IMO.)

[TGIRecovered]

I guess it takes a while to come up with a good excuse after the third or fourth wife. Right now she is just missing but how soon do you think he'll come up with a story to explain this one? Let's see...ran away with boyfriend/girlfriend...spaced out on drugs...kidnapped by drug dealer...suicide...accidental death, oops strike that, already used that one...circus, cult, polygamy, terrorist wannabe,... oh, I know!...ran away to the BIG CITY to work at Mcdonald's.

We need to stop letting stupid people be the ones in charge of screening LE applicants. This dude should have "Beware of Psycho" tattoed on his forehead.

Hate to say it, but I feel as though I've heard this kind of missing story before. Hope she is found, but the other part of me is thinking - estranged hubby + missing wife = not good.

[Taximom]

Oh come on, he's just had a long string of bad luck!

:p

They better look long and hard at this guy's history.

[SeriouslySearching]

Did I hear them right on Greta? He is 30 years older than she is?! Surely, that was a mistake.

[Mygirlsadie]

SS it may very well be the case..I am still in shock over here with one of my husbands co-workers. He is 37 years old and his wife just found out that he has been having an affair with a 19 year old. They have 3 kids together and been married for 15 years. I know the wife..she told me she was willing to give him another chance but HE wants to be with the 19 year old so my friend is taking the kids and filing for divorce...I still just don't understand but whatever. I really hope this lady here is found safe although I have to say with the husbands history of a dead wife and 4 marriages things just don't look good..

This article is very interesting. When reached for comment at home Peterson bristled at the suggestion she had met with foul play "She's just missing" he said. Hmmm. He seems extremely worried.

[lisan1373]

His comment about just needing to find her sounds very much like what Mark Hacking said when he was pleading to the public to help find his wife...we all know how that turned out.

I don't think this will turn out well.

He just doesn't care if he live(s) or die(s), or I live or die," Savio wrote, the Chicago Sun-Times reported in its Wednesday editions, citing the court documents. A year later, she filed for divorce.

Glasgow declined to speculate Tuesday about possible links between the Stacy Peterson and Savio cases, saying only that "there are some unusual circumstances in the 2004 case."

And this odd comment:
Peterson was in the process of divorcing her husband, who referred calls for comment to his lawyer. However, he did say over the phone that his wife 'is where she wants to be.'

[chicoliving]

A Bolingbrook police sergeant whose wife has been missing since the weekend told the Tribune on Wednesday he believes she simply left him for someone else.

Sgt. Drew Peterson, 53, said in an interview at his home that when he spoke with his wife, Stacy, 23, on the telephone Sunday night "she said she was leaving."

State police said Stacy's cell phone has not been used since Sunday night.

~snip~

Drew Peterson said he first met Stacy when she was 17 and he was 47.

"When I met Stacy, she was working at SpringHill Suites [in Bolingbrook]," he said. "We just hit it off, and one thing led to another. It wasn't something I planned. It was a very romantic time. It was very exciting."

[SeriouslySearching]

How old was wife number 3 when he met her? Sounds almost like a pedophile when they get "too old"!

It also sounds like the Sarge is changing his story, too. I don't recall hearing he mentioned the Sunday night conversation where she said she was "leaving him".

When they release the cell phone records...should be very interesting to know if she actually called him at 9:00 pm as he stated and where this call originated from (which tower)...not to mention...which tower HIS cell phone was on when her phone called him. For a policeman, he doesn't seem very smart. Wonder if he is related to the Cob (Bobby Cutts)?!?!

[sweetmop]

This story is becoming 'hokier' by the minute.

Quite a suspicious story already. The guy lost his last wife, his 3rd one, to a tragic but suspicious death while they were in the midst of a divorce settlement. Hmmmmm.

Already tonight on Greta Sgt Peterson gave the local reporter one story and then he gave Greta a different one.

He has already alluded to the idea that Stacy was unstable, and under psychiatric care and he showed one reporter a bottle of prescription pills for an antidepressant. Isn't that strange? Stacy had recently lost a sister to cancer.
It sounds to me like this guy is making up the story as he goes along.

I'm afraid when we finally hear the real story, it's not going to have a happy ending either.

These cases are becoming a daily event in this country, aren't they?

They sure are! I didn't get to see his interview with Greta, but it doesn't sound like he's all that worried about his wife, does it?

He met her when she was 17? Then that would mean that he met her while he was married to wife #3?

*edited to add* -- I read the articles, and yeppers #4 was the reason for the divorce from #3. Was the divorce granted or was the Sarge a widower before it could become final?

[nanandjim]

Unfortunately, Stacey may never be found. What I have gathered is that Peterson took off work Sunday. I think that he works the 5 p.m. to 5 a.m. shift. So, she is missing on Sunday--and he coincidentally takes off work. He murdered her and took her body somewhere. He then used her cell phone (maybe) to call him. I wonder how he rigged that one.

IMO, this guy murdered his third wife before their divorce. Now, he has murdered Wife #4. What was this girl thinking? Why would she be attracted to a man 30 years her senior?? Maybe, he promised her something...Who knows??...She is a beautiful girl. He had to have known that this wouldn't last.

If she is "where she wants to be" as he says, he probably gave her a choice. He probably warned her that she would end up dead if she divorced him. When she chose that option anyway, he murdered her. He rationalizes that it was her choice. She probably said, "I would rather die than remain married to you." He therefore gave her her wish. :rolleyes:

This guy is shady cop, just like Bobby Cutts. I just hope that they are able to find her and bring him to justice. There was a dentist (Corbin??) who murdered his wife and had murdered Dolly Hearns, his girlfriend 10 years prior. They initiallly ruled Dolly's death as suicide. He finally was brought to justice. These guys are controlling psychopaths. Try to leave them; and they murder you.

[concernedperson]

This is the most incredible story and I worry that he may get away with it. He has before.

It does remind me of Barton Corbin and his controlling aspect...psychopath! We don't know if he would have gotten away with it had it gone to trial. He confessed and saved everyone a lot of grief but that is not always the case.

[ckwood32]

Yes - the phone records should be interesting. They would be able to tell where the call was made from. So she leaves Sunday to go paint a house - doesn't show up - decides she is going to leave her husband and her kids. Yeah - right. Plus - supposedly she was so excited about her anniversary ring - JUST 10 DAYS before she decided she was leaving him for another man. Oh yeah - all of this adds up. What a moron.

[Trino]

When she met him, she was 17. Wasn't that considered rape, assuming.... What were her parents thinking to allow her to "meet" with a 47 year old man? She grew up and discovered she was married to an old man; obviously, there would be problems. Not that this is her fault - just thinking.

[ckwood32]

According to the articles - her parents did not raise her. She had a guardian. She was probably looking for a father figure.

There's a good chance that he will get away with it, IMO. I think that this crime was well planned as was the previous murder.

[crash676]

Anyone seen this one yet.. http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/heraldnews/news/630375,4_1_JO01_COPWIFE_S1.article

How weird that her mother is missing too? This story just keeps getting stranger.

[ckwood32]

http://www.suntimes.com/news/630813,CST-NWS-boling01.article
According to this article - she wanted to leave him. He followed her around and accused her of having a boyfriend.

[ckwood32]

This guy is guilty! I can't believe he got away with the first murder - a 40 year old healthy woman drowning in a bathtub??? Come on!

[concernedperson]

This guy is guilty! I can't believe he got away with the first murder - a 40 year old healthy woman drowning in a bathtub??? Come on!
With no water in it according to the article Crash put up. I am thinking about that....would the water have drained out or did someone pull the plug? If someone pulled the plug it could have been to eliminate trace evidence.

This is one strange case. I wonder if he knew Stacey's mother back in 1999?

[hoppyfrog]

When she met him, she was 17. Wasn't that considered rape

I'm sure it's not. Age of consent in most states is between 16-18. In Illinois it's 17.

[hoppyfrog]

"It was a very romantic time. It was very exciting."

This was the quote that got to me.

So, now it's no longer exciting and romantic and suddenly she's "missing"?

Oh I'm sure HE pulled the plug! He probably struggled with her and wanted the tub drained in case he did leave any evidence. I'm sure he just pushed her head under water and held it there until she was dead.

[ckwood32]

I'm sure it's not. Age of consent in most states is between 16-18. In Illinois it's 17.

Oh - according to one of the articles - he made sure what he was doing was "legal" - he checked with his cop buddies.

[sabego]

I heard one story that he got home Sunday morning and saw her, then went to bed. When he got up I think around 11 she was gone. Kids were there, her car was there. She had gone to help someone paint. Then the next story changed!

I heard there were 4 children living there, the 2 young ones were theirs, the other 2 were his from previous marriage. Were they old enough to take care of the little ones? Wouldn't they know how and when she left?

Too many unanswered questions.

[Monika30]

The wife who 'drowned' in the bathtub was 40 years old (that was in 2004).
Their two sons, aged 12 and 15 are living with Stacy and Peterson. Stacy also has two kids with Peterson, Lacy, 2, and Anthony, 4. How bizarre that her daughter's name is Lacy Peterson? Named after one of Stacy's sisters who passed away (one of 3 sisters of her sisters that has passed away). Stacy also has one brother who is a registered sex offender and her mother has been missing for a number of years.. Stacy has not had an easy life thus far..... I hope she is found safe soon.

[chicoliving]

Fox News Channel with breaking news........right now at the house at state police officer is approaching the house.

[chicoliving]

Jamie Colby is on scene and the cameras are rolling as the officers approach and now enter the house. The house is surrounded by LE. Earlier she mentioned the house had been quiet then his attorney arrived, now the police here in big numbers.

[Squishified]

The husband ran from authorities when they went to question him?
They caught him and I guess questioning him now.

[Squishified]

Per Fox News:
"Police Searching Home of Missing Woman".

[chicoliving]

Greta is also on scene and had just been in the house prior to the LE arriving. Greta is saying that he slipped out the back and was intercepted by officers and he's now on his way to the station for questioning?? Probably not an arrest or they woulda cuffed him and led him out rather than let him go out the back.

Officers are doning gloves and just kinda standing around.

Greta's taking so fast there's no way I can get it lol

Helicopter overhead but probably news related says Greta.

[Squishified]

About 6 officers in the house. Children are in the house.

Gosh, I missed all this! I would say Sarge has plenty to worry about now and sad to say...it isn't looking good for Stacy. Very sad.

The house is being searched, the dark suv is being hooked up to the tow truck. Now putting chains under the second dark car in the driveway.

[chicoliving]

Greta and Jamie are talking about their interviews with the husband.

Officers continue to go in and out of the front door, tow truck getting ready to load the second car. Lots of official cars in the neighborhood, lots of LE in front of the house, by the driveway just all over.

Greta and Jamie are talking about who reported her missing and going over the beginning.

Tow truck is moving out with the two vehicles from the driveway.

A suburban Chicago police sergeant said he had nothing to do with his fourth wife’s disappearance and claimed the woman is no stranger to disappearing acts, the Naperville Sun reported Thursday.

Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson said Stacy Ann Peterson, 23, who has been missing since Sunday, has run off before after he or the couple’s children got to be too much for her, the Sun reported. Drew Peterson claimed she may be following in the footsteps of her mother, who vanished eight years ago and has not been seen or heard from since.

He told the other reporter that his wife had left with someone else and didn't take the car. The reporter mentioned this definite discrepancy.

[Squishified]

Sniffer dogs are also there.

[chicoliving]

The dogs are still inside, not sure what type of dogs they are...probably scent or tracking dogs looking for the freshest scent.

[SeriouslySearching]

He was quoted as saying she took cash out of the safe, her passport, and a bikini when she left.

[chicoliving]

The dog is in the backyard by the pool moving around the yard.

[chicoliving]

Officials from the Illinois State Police have surrounded the home of Stacy Ann Peterson, who disappeared on Sunday.

Police are reportedly questioning her husband, Drew Peterson, who is a sergeant with the Bolingbrook Police Department. Because of his affiliation with the local authorities, the case is under the jurisdiction of state officials.

[Mom2threestooges]

She took a bikini when she left? Yeah, I'd sure be grabbing my bikini instead of my kids if I was leaving my husband. Probably mentioned the bikini because that's what she will be found in. Yuck. Did he drown another wife?

[concernedperson]

He was quoted as saying she took cash out of the safe, her passport, and a bikini when she left.

Cash out of the safe? He does have a lot of toys around the house. RV, pool, new decking etc. Pretty good on a cop's salary don't you think?

This whole thing sound so fishy right back to 1999 when her mom disappeared.

[Mom2threestooges]

Anyone know if there is a link to a missing persons page on her mom, or what her mom's name is? Sheesh, I wish I had a TV at work.

[Taximom]

Maybe he choked her with her bikini.

I hope State LE finds what they are looking for.

[SeriouslySearching]

Did someone drive him over there or did he walk since it was so close? :bang:Maybe he has "wife #5" waiting in the wings as he did before. Hmmmm....interesting.

[Mom2threestooges]

Okay, a few interested statements from the interviews with Drew Peterson:

"I believe she's either going to tell people where she is or she's going to go down deeper, like how her mom did," said Peterson's husband.

"I had drama before Stacy, and Stacy just added to it," he said.

Peterson, who did not want to speak on camera, said he believed his wife was not missing, but was instead "where she wants to be."


Now, here is something I find a bit strange. First, strange that he lived down the street with Stacy from his ex wife. I guess with kids involved that can be a good thing. But, so he is trying to return the kids after a weekend visit with him, and according to what I've read, he knocks and no one answers. So, I'm assuming this all happens the same day, he gets a neighbor to help and enters the house where he finds her dead in the tub. Now, if I am trying to return my kids to my ex, and no one answers the door, I'm going to assume they are irresponsible and not home. Then I'm going to take the kids back to my house. Then I'm going to call my ex and leave a message and say, okay you weren't home so the kids are still with me. Then, maybe by the following day I'm going to be suspicious enough to break into the house. Only if I actually care still about the well being of my ex, mind you. I am certainly not trying to break into their house to check on them right away. Unless, of course, I know they are dead in their bathtub.

[SeriouslySearching]

I agree. He set that up, but what I don't understand is why after it was investigated...that LE didn't put 2 and 2 together? How did they miss his affair with Stacy at the time, too?!

[SuziQ]

Why do I get the feeling the car was never at the airport?

[SeriouslySearching]

Why do I get the feeling the car was never at the airport?Because nothing Sarge has said has a ring of truth to it?!

Last year we here had a man who drowned his wife. But the coroner ruled it accidental. It wasn't until he had a nervous breakdown and confessed to doctors that he was arrested. Creepy that he could have gotten away with it.

[golfmom]

His stories are already spinning out of control ...

[SuziQ]

So if your 17 year old daughter is dating a 47 year old man, you'd probably throw a fit right? Makes you wonder if that's why she dissapeared. Unless she was already gone. But how many people have family that many members that are dissapearing and suspiciously dying?

[golfmom]

BREAKING NEWS:

But Peterson's husband told investigators he spoke with his wife on the phone about 9 p.m. Sunday -- and nothing in their conversation worried him. There have been no signs of foul play, authorities said.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-peterson_01nov01,1,7460902.story

Sitting at a desk in his house Wednesday afternoon, unshaven and with bags under his eyes, Drew Peterson, 53, said his wife, Stacy, 23, called him about 9 p.m. Sunday and told him she was leaving. That was the last time her cell phone was used, police said.

[SeriouslySearching]

So which is it? Did they rule wife #3's as an accidental or suspicious death? This seems to contradict accidental.

Glasgow spokesman Charles Pelkie said state police investigated Savio's death and brought the case to then-State's Atty. Jeff Tomczak, but charges were never approved.

This is one strange case. I wonder if he knew Stacey's mother back in 1999?
I wonder if he electrocuted her in a bathtub full of water, like throwing in some type of electrical appliance. Then, he left her for a few hours before returning to drain the tub and remove the appliance.

Wow. You bring up a really good question. Where did her mother live at the time of her disappearance? Wouldn't it be something if this cop somehow knew Stacy's mother and knew of Stacy? How old was Stacy in 1999? She was 16 yo then, right?

What if this cop knew Stacy's mother, even dating or befriending her and then was responsible for her disappearance. Then, he would know all about Stacy and how to push her buttons. He acts like meeting Stacy was coincidental when it could have been planned on his part. He knows how to push her buttons. That's why she is so attracted to him. It could all be part of his master plan.

He marries her, but then there is a glitch four years later. She is growing up and doesn't want to be totally controlled. He can't stand it because he knows that she is apt to fall for someone her own age. He murders her rather than lose her...

I would think an electrocution type death would leave definite burns or marks. It should be obvious to an ME.

Wow! He is doing well for a cop! Where did he get so much money? We know it obviously didn't come from his current wife. He has enough to have it stashed in a safe in the house, too?

The guy in the house just to the north is talking a lot "over the fence" to people/LE at the Peterson's home. Wonder what he knows! (Per the pilot's comments just now.)

Yes it does. Living beyond your means is a sign of a crooked cop. Which he was investigated for being years ago.

[SeriouslySearching]

Don't other cops notice when you have tons of toys in your yard?! Surely, this cop has friends on the force since he has been there for so long.

[SeriouslySearching]

Reporting back on Fox now.

All activity is now centered on the neighbor's house where the Sarge and kids are now. Police are in the house talking to everyone.

[nanandjim]

Somehow, I think that this cop is not going down easily. He has been crooked for a long time. He has probably now committed two murders. They were probably very well planned. You can suspect all day long. However, you have to have enough evidence to bring charges and make them stick.

He knows this. That's why he is where he is today...a few days away from retirement...

[SeriouslySearching]

He should have raised eyebrows when wife #3 died...and people on the force should have been carefully monitoring his status and relationship with this young girl before now. People are speaking out about how controlling he was with her and jealous, etc. Hasn't LE figured out by now these are red flags?!

I disagree about him not going easily. I think maybe they are working on a confession or a deal with him. Perhaps the neighbor has more information which would tip the scales away from his favor this time with this wife.

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.

...............
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."

.................
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.

At ages 2 and 4...I doubt they are scared out of their minds...however, I would think they were missing their mother and confused about all the fuss surrounding them right now. The children should be away from the situation and with be trusted relatives or in a safe place. I blame LE for not having taken care of them ahead of time (having relatives take them when they came to search).

Dive team called to airport pond
(http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=local&id=5737534)

"November 1, 2007 (BOLINGBROOK, Ill.) - Officials are searching a retention pond in connection to the disappearance of Bolingbrook woman.
Related Links

The Naperville Police Department dive team is searching the pond located near Clow International Airport in Bolingbrook. They are reportedly on the south end of the water near the runway.

The airport is just a few blocks from the home of Stacy Ann Peterson, 23, who disappeared Sunday. She is the wife of Bolingbrook Police Sergeant Drew Peterson, 53. Earlier in the day, officials from the Illinois State Police served a search warrant at their home.

Authorities have not said what they were looking for or what they found. Two vehicles near the home were seized by police and were towed from the property. It is not clear to whom they belong."

I hope that you are right, but I somehow doubt it. Unless someone saw something, I just do not think that he will jeopardize his freedom until they really can make something stick.

This guy probably changed the message on his answering machine to cover the max time allowed. Then, he probably used her cell phone to call home and just let the answering machine run. Then, he hung up. This would record as a call on her phone. IMO, that's the reason to say that she was acting snotty. IOW, she didn't stay on the line very long, just long enough to tell him that she was leaving him.

I think that he has all of his bases covered. I surely hope that I am wrong.

With this video, you can see the pond is very close to their house...about half a block! How convenient!

Two days before she disappeared, the wife of a Bolingbrook police sergeant told her husband she wanted a divorce, the missing woman's aunt said Thursday.

A day later, on Saturday, Stacy Peterson told her sister she feared for her life, said Suzan Robison, Stacy's paternal aunt.

Sgt. Drew Peterson, Stacy's husband, "was a very jealous, very controlling person," Robison said. "He followed her. He tracked her with GPS on her cell phone, called her constantly."

It depends on certain circumstances, but he, as the surviving parent could have recieved as much as 50% of the insurance payout. For instance some policies have a 90 day (example) time frame for the changes to take effect. There's so many variables that could have happened, it would be interesting to know how the payout was handled.

At the time they were officially divorced, but the court had yet to approve a division of assets. When Savio died, her sons, under Peterson's guardianship, received $1 million from a life-insurance payment, according to court records.

Peterson later received the proceeds from other life insurance policies, the profits from the sale of a bar they owned in Montgomery and profits on the sale of their home, all valued at more than $600,000, the records state.

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.

"When he first answered the phone, I said, 'Hi,' and (he said), 'Where's your sister?' and I said, 'That's why I'm calling you.' He was just jumping all over the place saying, 'Well last week, she was going to disappear just like your mom did, and I know that's a crock of crap. And then he said, 'Well she ran off with another guy. She's been seeing these other guys.' And that's not her."

Cales said Sgt. Peterson was out of breath during the conversation, and claimed it was from running in search of his wife.

Cales added that when she drove by the Peterson house around the time she talked to Sgt. Peterson, neither of the vehicles belonging to the couple were there. At 2:30 a.m. when Cales drove by again, the vehicles were back, she said.

"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 think the Daily Herald had an article that mentioned he actually had six children total.

Edited: Wrong paper http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/heraldnews/news/632162,4_1_JO02_MISSING_S1.article

Though family members say Cassandra expressed suspicions about the 53-year-old Peterson, she reportedly cloistered herself with him in the home of his next-door neighbor during the search. Some of Peterson's six children were with them. An official said Peterson was taken to District 5 state police headquarters in Romeoville before he returned to the neighbor's house.

[Mysticchic]

more things are coming out..sister says that Stacey was battered before. That she witnessed Drew throwing her across the room. And that her sister had bruses before. But she wanted it to work out for the kids sake,..she was having doubts about the death of wife 3.

I look for them to take Peterson into custody before they find the body. He is all over the map in what he says to media. It is like he is trying to sound like a worried husband (and what he is worrying about isn't her being missing) yet also trying to gain sympathy, and trying to be macho and worrying about what police are finding at the same time. I do think the fact that they are reinvestigating his third wife's death has him shook.

I believe the police will find some evidence and take him into custody. I think he concentrated so much on hiding her body, that he may have missed things in the home. After they are able to take him into custody, I think he will tell them where the body is.

Reached by phone later, his mother, Betty Morphey, said: "My son is very upset. She's just a lovely girl. They get along beautifully. They're loving and kind."

Just read all the posts on this thread. It seems obvious to me that she is dead. :( And obvious that he killed her. I hope and pray they find the evidence they need to put him away. Those poor kids!!!!

Some of you have compared Peterson to Scott P. but the one he reminds me of is Bobby Cutts. I think it is the attitude.

I totally agree.

Here is a live feed from Fox as the divers search the pond.

[concernedperson]

I went back to watch the feed and now nothing is on it. Anyway, the guy who was narrating said that if they found anything they wouldn't remove it right away but go back to it. There was a boat and several divers in the pond and a long rope dividing the pond. Looks like a divers rope or a grid rope.

Drew Peterson, though, on Thursday denied media reports that he had told police he found Stacy's car at the airport after he last spoke with her Sunday night.

:waitasec: So she grabbed some cash and her bikini and left on foot with her purse and cell phone? Where were the cars when her sister drove by 2:30 a.m. Monday morning ? ? ?

And where did he find the car and how did he get both cars back to his home?

I'd love to know if police did find a record of a cell phone call from her to P. and where that call came from.

Have you noticed that the info from her family and from P. are polar opposites? It bothers me that P. uses the fact that her mother disappeared almost like a way of excusing her disappearance.



Drew Peterson, 53, said this isn't the first time his 23-year-old wife, Stacy Peterson, split on him. She had taken off on him before, he said, when their children or he himself got to be too much.

"She would take off for a few hours like this," Peterson said. "She would say she would vent."

[golfmom]

Sounds like there isn't any evidence one way or another that her mom actually took off. The last reported sighting of her was on her way to church when she disappeared. Sounds like everyone jumpted to the conclusion that she "lost it" after some many tragedies and split.

This is a little bit more information about her mother:

http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/632386,CST-NWS-bside02.article

When Stacy's mother left for good, it came after Cales experienced crippling personal loss. Cales lost one little girl in a Downers Grove house fire in 1982 and then another child to SIDS in 1987, said Candace Aikin, another of Stacy Peterson's aunts.

"The first baby dying was just too much," Aikin said. "The second baby dying was way too much."

Relatives filed a missing person report, but it never resulted in any solid leads, Robison said.

While I agree it does smack of Bobby Cutts, this is more along the lines of Craig Stebic, imo. I just hope they don't run into a standstill as they have trying to get Stebic to give up where Lisa is. However, it seems this case is unraveling much quicker.

Great interview with the sister this morning! She brought out that on Friday, Stacey definitely feared for her life going to the extreme of texting her sister to let her know she was OK all day Saturday. This doesn't leave any doubt that on Sunday something did happen to her instead of her walking away.

This reminds me more of the other policeman that says his wife ran off with someone else, but her family and friends say she wouldn't do that. The name fails me but we do have a thread on that case here! I think that guy is STILL free. :(

On Fox~ Commander says they haven't found anything, but they are working in what they call black water so everything is done by touch. They have 10 divers deployed and 4 in the water at this time. The ambulance is an old one with supplies for the divers. He said it will still take a couple of days to scan the retaining pond.

[Taximom]

"according to Drew" LOL I like that.

SS, I'm pretty sure this couple didn't have young kids, if any. All I can remember that might be a clue is that another policeman/partner went to jail shortly after this guy's wife went "missing". And something about the husband having plastic explosives in his locker....

Ugh, this memory sucks!

I think so many of the domestic disappearances seem the same. Many of the husbands/partners seem so genuinely suprised that anyone would pay attention to the fact that their wife/partner would disappear! And of course they are all shocked that anyone would think that they could have anything to do with it! And most generally it is "her" fault of course!

[chicoliving]

Ahhh Theresa Parker from GA....married to Sgt.? Sam Parker. His buddy Chapin was arrested for lying in the course of an investigation. Yep, hubby (was soon to be ex hubby) had a small amount of C4 in his locker at the police station.

That's what has my hackles up ... his quotes about her being nuts, her family being nuts, boyfriends, medications, can't handle kids ... she's where she wants to be. He's working overtime to make sure everyone knows it's her fault.

I've been following the Darren Mack case and he's the same way. His wife was nuts (he wasn't) and he had to defend himself from her (which in turn made him nuts and he had to shoot a judge) but it wasn't his fault, it was his nutty wife's fault.

[Shamrock]

Did I read that Stacy is his fourth wife? I know the third is dead, but have we heard anything about or from the first two?

Anytime a spouse/partner starts talking about how nuts the other one is/was- I start wondering about what the one who is doing the talking has done. "The other one is nuts" always raises my suspicions

Sometime this am I saw a statement from the sister in which she said that Stacy was beginning to have suspicions about the third wife's death, but now I can't find it!

A little more info from the sister:
The Petersons lived just up the street from where the third wife died. And Drew told the sister he found the car at the airport.

Did I read that Stacy is his fourth wife? I know the third is dead, but have we heard anything about or from the first two?Oddly enough, not yet. I have been curious as to their thoughts on this. Of course, I am betting they would not have a nice thing to say about him.

They just said on Fox that Drew's 26yo old son came and got the 3 children then the oldest went to school. They noted he is also apoliceman. At least, the kids are going to be away from this and with their half-brother.

[BrendaStar]

Peterson said that Stacey called him on Sunday on 9PM on his cell and told him that she was leaving him for her boyfriend. Just check the cell phone records and show that he is lying. Also check her computer for e-mail messages from this so-called boyfriend.

Of course, when none of this is true he might be named a suspect.

[mysteriew]

I wonder if police or family have had a chance to talk with the kids? Most likely he hasn't allowed it.

Another man would have moved to the other side of town and have tried to make it less painful for her...especially since she agreed to give him a fast divorce to marry his pregnant girlfriend! Her sister said last night, she felt sorry for Stacey because of the baby so she put off the property settlement and gave him the divorce.

He is a POS and always has been! :furious:

But, it sounds like she was pretty suspicious too ... as she changed her life insurance to the boys. The timing of her death should have sent red flags, the divorce was final, but they hadn't finished the property settlement.

[SeriouslySearching]

She was definitely worried according to her sister and stated she feared for her life. Her sister made no bones about it in the interview and never believed it was an accidental death.

[golfmom]

I saw a quote on another board from a news report where her sister talked to the kids and one of them said that Stacy and Dad got into a fight that morning. I haven't found quote reported in a news article yet.

[Truthful Lies]

This guy is guilty! I can't believe he got away with the first murder - a 40 year old healthy woman drowning in a bathtub??? Come on!
It is very possible if she had wine, sedatives, dropped off..it only takes a small amount of water to "Drown"...less than two tablespoons I believe in the lungs. I think it's fishy but it happens.

I know last night (Greta) I heard her sister say that she didn't have anything in her body. That led me to think they must have checked for toxins. (I could be wrong though as the sister wasn't very clear about all that.)

She also said they (don't know who they is) told her that her sister tried to breathe because of what they found in the lungs. She didn't explain it well, but it sounded like there was water where it normally wouldn't be in her lungs.

Gee, that would certainly perk my interest as a coroner!

It doesn't seem to matter! Their egos still overload their actions and they follow the same cues.

Blaming someone else is a lifelong trait for these men and they can't take responsibility for "getting rid" of their spouse. It is the "She made me do it" syndrome. According to Drew...(lol)..."She is where she wants to be" speaks volumes. He probably gave her a choice. Die or do what he wants her to do. She chose neither so he chose for her. In his mind, it was "her choice".

She talked to Drew a short time later and he claimed to be at home...but she said he was out of breath and she could hear other things in the background. This was between 10 and 11:30 pm, if I am not mistaken, on Sunday night right before she went to the PD. That is another thing she said...she first went to the BPD.

From what I heard from the 3rd wife's sister last night on Greta, it sounded like the 3rd wife was handling the divorce quite well. Almost like she was glad to be rid of him. She wanted Stacey and Drew to be married before Stacey's child was born from what I understand. That's what the sister said anyway!

The interview is here and is the most comprehensive timeline of Sunday ...

10:15 a.m. Stacy talked to Bruce Sunday morning
1:30 p.m. her sister starts calling looking for her
She calls the house and Chris (one of the kids) tells her she went to Grampas house ... she never went
11:00 p.m. she goes to the house, no cars in driveway gives Chris fundraising money and asks him if he's alone? He says yes tells her Mom & Dad got into a fight and Dad's out looking for her.

She ends up calling Drew and he wants to know where her sister is ... she left me. He's out running around looking for her. Claimed he was home, which she know wasn't true since she just left there.

She immediate goes to Downers Grove PD who tell her to go back to Bolingbrook and files a report (around midnight)

Around 2:30 a.m. she drives back by and sees both cars in the driveway. Drew claims at that time he talked to Stacy and she was fine and went on a little vacation, he got the car from the airport.

Stacey was 17 when they met. She was working in a hotel and met him there. His department was concerned about them dating because of her age, but the DA said no problem.

They married 2 years later when she was pregnant. Third wife must have died sometime about that time or shortly after.
