I'm intrigued by Scott Rossetto. According to news reports he was the brother of a boy she dated in high school. The boy she dated joined the army and after that Stacy began seeing DP. Scott Rossetto appears to only have been a friend from Stacy's past, so I'm wondering why she would have contacted him out of the blue.

There had to be a reason for Stacy contacting Scott Rossetto, and the only thing I can think of is that Stacy felt that he could be trusted and could help her in some way. What he does for a living might be important, as she may have been contacting him for help he could provide in the capacity of his occupation.

The police don't consider Scott Rossetto a suspect, so he must have a good alibi for the time period in question.

[cricket]

I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that the investigators asked him not to divulge what they talked to him about. I think that's why he is not saying more than he is.

[itsreenw]

Scott said Stacy dated his brother and also a friend of his. I don't think Stacy called him out of the blue. I really doubt she would have any male #s in her possession while living with DP.. She had no privacy.

I think DP being an old, sloppy, insecure loser was probably grilling Stacy about her past relationships and male friends. I can just hear him saying "when's the last time you talked to Bob? Dick? Harry? Scott?- call him, I want to hear what he says to you".

He could easily get Scott's #from accessing records at work which is illegal but hell, that's DP. He can do what he wants.

I am leaning toward thinking Stacy had a "friend" but so what?? I''d cheat on that old dirt bag too. Drew won't let anyone divorce him unless it's on his terms. He told Stacy to wait til he retired to get a divorce. What about what she wanted???? I like Scott. He's not scared of DP.

[cricket]

Fox is reporting that this Scott guy is being called before a grand jury this coming week. I'm thinking that this means there are two grand juries. We know there is one looking into Kathleen Savio's death, but this guy would be testifying about Stacy.

If they have a grand jury for Stacy's disappearance - it could mean an arrest is coming!

[Taximom]

Oh, good catch, cricket. I hope there are two grand juries. Drew better save up for a few suits since he's gonna be losing even MORE weight now.

[mysteriew]

A common reaction to being cheated on is to cheat on the spouse- or to make the spouse think they are being cheated on. She didn't call an old bf (which would be more likely if she was trying to cheat.) So maybe by calling an old friend, that was as close as she thought she could come at this time.
Maybe she thought he could help her get a job.
Many times an abuser will isolate their spouse, not allowing them to see friends or family. Or the only friends she is allowed to have are 'his' friends. Maybe that was her first step, reaching out to someone who was once a friend. Hoping to have a supportive friendship in her new life without drew p.
Maybe she was reaching out to her own life before drew p. Hoping that talking about old times might help her to gain the strength to be able to leave.

Good thoughts Myst and probably what was going on. The networking that an old friend can provide is invaluable when you are down and out. Stacy was in that situation IMO. She knew she couldn't go on with Drew but she needed her sea legs to get past him.

The vigil
http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7009196591

More vigil, more details
http://www.suntimes.com/news/peterson/656495,CST-NWS-vigil18.article

Relatives Try to Confront Ill. Officer

Armed with anger, hope and candles, participants in a vigil for a former police officer's missing fourth wife left a pink placard reading "Where's our sister Stacy?" — along with several other signs — on the man's porch Saturday.

Former Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson rumbled away on his motorcycle before the vigil participants arrived but told reporters afterward that the ordeal has been hard on his children.
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5g9LSLrzFQGStXb1io5FdErAtFFKgD8SVR7B82

Ok, I have to say this. IMO, drew p is using his children. His words- media is terrorizing his children. His words, the vigil was hard on his children. But he is the one who left during the vigil, but he left the children at home. And he didn't stay home to comfort them. Also, you would think he would allow the children to join in the vigil. After all, it was in honor of their mothers.

[itsreenw]

snip

It wasn't always that way. Stacy Peterson's disappearance, say her relatives and friends, capped an explosive seven-year relationship that started with a teenage girl swept off her feet with attention and gifts from a man 30 years her senior, then turned progressively sinister as her once-loving husband grew increasingly controlling and suspicious, forbidding her to see family and friends, and accusing her of infidelity.


Hmmm...she was just a kid. PERVERT!! What did she see in him? YUCK.

[Sedona]

Drew keeps saying he is just waiting. I noticed when they interviewed him last that he knows it is a matter of time.

If you have been following some of the past things I have said in post (yeah, since I am a forum sensation) I have been saying all along that I feel Drew is Narcissistic and they use their children to manipulate. They are mere extensions of them. He is a victim in all this, not Stacey.

I think by the end of the week, they will have him behind bars. :cool:

[concernedperson]

snip


Hmmm...she was just a kid. PERVERT!! What did she see in him? YUCK.

If she is 23 then the 7 year relationship was when she was 16 not 17 and do we know that he didn't pursue her even before that.

[Littledeer]

IMO, It has been established that DP marries, then ultimately has an affair, which the wife eventually finds out about, then threatens/abuses her (or more) and he is off to the next one.

Not once have I heard from the ex wifes how much he loved/cared for his chidlren.

And even now, with his 4th wife who not only has had two children with him but has adopted his childen from a previous marriage do I see/hear anything from DP but this:

rumbled away on his motorcycle before the vigil participants arrived but told reporters afterward that the ordeal has been hard on his children.

[Jaded]

I think that Drew has this mental expiration date in his mind that his wives are no longer attractive to him after a certain age. He obviously likes much younger women, and it just seems that as they start to mature he doesn't like them anymore. Still waiting for some of his concubines to come out of the woodwork.

[sassy_texasbelle2]

Once they becomes wives and a mother full time I am sure they do not drop everything when he wants something. Be that sex or the attention he thinks he so deserves. Marriage is not based on sex and PMS. I guess it took him 4 wives to find that out.

Thank God he never had one with hotflashes! He would not have made it out! Not with his attitude.

[mysteriew]

LOL, ain't that the truth!

[Leila]

snip


Hmmm...she was just a kid. PERVERT!! What did she see in him? YUCK.

I noted that too.........she was only 16, and I have no doubt that his fellow police officers knew he was involved with a 16-year-old minor, and looked the other way. How many cops are hiding the truth about DP? :furious:

[Sedona]

Did anyone catch him say that Lacy, his daughter, was having tea parties with him and the family and the younger kids were having a good time with the family?

Like this is just a big 'ole party. :mad:

[Jaded]

I think that's what bothers me the most about this case. It's his total lack of concern and the smugness he exhibited when asked if he would like to say anything to Stacy. He laughed -- anyone else in this position would have plead for her to at least call someone to let them know she is okay. Heck, he should have said for the sake of the kids please call and let them know that Mommy is all right, but he didn't. He spent his interview time attacking his wife's character and turning this into the "woe is me" show.

[MCDRAW]

DP is so cocky. He figures his buddies will cover for him again. I'm thinking they are scrambling around trying to cover their own butts. Then again if the town is as crooked as RM says. There's no telling what they are doing. I think DP only thinks of himself. I don't think his children ever enter into what he id doing. If he sticks to his pattern, he already has a replacement. She ought to be scared.

[Smedley]

I don't think the BB LE have anything to do with either of the cases, both are being handled by the Illinois State Poilce at this point.

That is even worse.

[concernedperson]

That is even worse.

Could be but watching their P's and Q's would be paramount right night. We have Greta constantly on their tail and half the nation is watching too. I don't think it will be swept under the rug this time.

[Smedley]

They already screwed up letting Baden get involved.

[Mygirlsadie]

Yeah I know it is just grose! I think what she saw in him was a father figure...something I don't think she really had in her life. When I was 19 I was pursued by a man who was 48 I avoided him like the plague and even quit my job because of him..All I kept thinking when he would hit on me or bring me gifts was ewww you nasty old man!

Yes, I read they will resume next Monday, after the Thanksgiving Holiday.

[mysteriew]

Drew makes complaints about the media, but then gives his own interviews. Except for Greta. Anyone else think he is afraid of Greta? She is the main one he is complaining about.

The funny thing is, I really think most of the media coverage would have stopped before this if Drew P hadn't come out in his bandana. He made it so obvious that he was hiding from them that they just couldn't help themselves. And even if they would have stopped, the public doesn't want to miss a word or an action on this one. I know I get up every morning thinking "well I wonder what Drew P will do today!"

[Vegas Bride]

He may not want to talk to Greta because she's a woman, I have a feeling he sees all women as being not worthy. I'm really wanting to learn more about his whole family dynamics with his parents and also why the 1 son has nothing to do with him.

VB

[dee10134]

I don't believe it's because Greta's a woman. I think it may be because Greta does not have the same level of notoriety and fame that Giraldo and Matt Lauer have. Also, DP did an interview with a local female reporter in his own home (I cannot recall her name, but I'm pretty sure she was local)...

I think in DP's imagination, he's better than anyone and will only associate with people that HE feels are as great as he is. If that makes any sense?

Peterson search takes break

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. (more at link)

He's part of Greta's show. Greta has pretty much seen DP as the reason Stacy is missing. If the autoposy were to be truly independent, it should be someone independent of the news media.

[mysteriew]

Has anyone notice that wife # 2 says she was threatened that Drew knew how to make a murder look like an accident?

Then Kathleen Savio allegedly tells her family that if she ever dies in an accident, she was murdered. Then she dies.

Then along comes Stacy. In early articles, family talked about how Stacy said if she ever disappeared for family to look for her? Then she disappears.

It is almost as though Drew P had thought for a while that 2 "accidents" might be suspicious, so he changed his threat and his actions accordingly.

[DeltaDawn]

I think that Drew was very evasive in today's Interview with Matt Lauer. Whenever a pertinent question came up the answer was no comment. Many of those questios dealt with Kitty's death and the recent autopsy. If he was truly innocent in Kitty's demise and in Stacy's there would have been no reason not to answer these questions. Infact as his defense he should have been able to say how much he missed them both, how he hoped Stacy was found soon...stec.
As controlling as he was, if the police can't find her why hasn't he hired his own private investigator? Why didn't he help in any of the searches? His behavior was not normal in his marriages and is not normal now for a spouse who'se wife is missing.

[SeriouslySearching]

I must say I was so disgusted to hear Drew make the comment about losing 30 lbs. then going into his "comedy routine" about Jenny Craig. What a jerk! Again, it is all about himself and he goes into making inappropriate jokes when this is supposed to be about the mother of his children who is missing. Does he feel he is gaining support of the public by his humor?!

Doesn't he have the slightest clue how it truly makes him look?! Who in the hell cares how hard this is on him?!?! This is NOT a laughing matter either! How more calloused and cruel can this man prove himself to be on national television? He honestly must believe he is winning in the court of public opinion and could not be more wrong! If anything, this will all be played back during his trial to ensure the jury knows how he acted while everyone else was looking for his wife.

[DeltaDawn]

As far as the autopsy goes Baden was asked by Kitty's family to do the autopsy..as someone independent from the current coroner. However the first coroner's results did not differ from what Baden found. The first coroner had no choice in the matter it was sent to a jury. The law has changed and had that happened now her death would have been ruled differently then an accident.

[SeriouslySearching]

They already screwed up letting Baden get involved.I totally disagree with this. Having Dr. Baden do another autopsy at the family's request gives the family assurance they will have direct access to the findings and do not have to depend on LE to provide them with such. After all these years and tears, this family deserves to know EVERYTHING about the death of Kathleen. Hiring Baden was one of the most intelligent and beneficial things they have done in relation to her case.

when you really have no more to say about the suspect…try his attorney

On May 8, 2001 the Administrator filed a one-count complaint against Respondent Joel Alan Brodsky alleging that he forged a signature on bank forms in order to withdraw client funds from the bank, falsely endorsed a cashier’s check issued by the bank, failed to deposit the proceeds in a separate identifiable trust account and kept the funds for his own purposes. He was charged with the following misconduct:

conversion;

failure to deposit and maintain client funds in a separate identifiable trust account in violation of Rule 1.15(a) and 1.15(d) of the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct;

committing a criminal act that reflects adversely on the lawyer’s honesty, trustworthiness or fitness as a lawyer by committing the

PAGE 2:

crime of forgery in violation of 720 ILCS 5/17-3 in violation of Rule 8.4(a)(3);

conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation in violation of Rule 8.4(a)(4);

conduct which tends to defeat the administration of justice or bring the courts or legal profession into disrepute in violation of Supreme Court Rule 771.

he was only suspended 3 months for this…have fun, bloggers

Stories of lost so terrible, too easy to forget

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-schmich_bd18nov18,1,2403140.column?coll=chi_news_l ocal_util

I have to comment on the above article and others that I have seen today. There is talk of a "media sensation" of "entertainment" and other descriptions. But by keeping these women's names going, perhaps there is a chance of promoting some awareness of the problem of domestic violence. We think of physical crime as a problem that happens in other crime ridden neighborhoods. But DV crosses all classes, all races, all religions. It can and does happen in all kinds of neighborhoods and communities large and small. And it affects more than just the victim and their families. It affects our workplaces and our communities.

[SeriouslySearching]

Stacy has been missing for over three weeks. How much more time is LE willing to devote to looking for Stacy, especially as the weather turns cold?Even if LE doesn't continue their search...I am sure the family will. However, I think LE knows they have to exhaust every available avenue before they discontinue looking for her because of the scrutiny being put on them due to Savio's case now. They cannot afford to stop searching too soon. They have to unturn every stone possible.

I am curious whether or not Drew was planning on retirement before Stacy went missing? Does anyone know or heard anything about this?

I am curious to know whether or not this has been in the works for a while, thinking he would be cleared of any wrong doing on the allegations brought against him, or if this was just a spur of the moment thing after this case made the airwaves?

I know he has made comments about having the children provided for, if something were to happen to him, and guardianship has been taken care of as well......just makes me think "flight risk"

Maybe he's planning on being gone by the time the endictment has been handed down.

[JerzWhim]

I am curious whether or not Drew was planning on retirement before Stacy went missing? Does anyone know or heard anything about this?

It would help to know if his department has a minimum notification requirement. In the NYPD, an officer must submit a request to retire 30 days prior to his/her last working day.

[Bigfoot]

I recall hearing that he had only eleven days until retirement, and that was when they were first reporting Stacy as missing.

I don't know how it works in Illinois, but our here unless you were told to retire for certain reasons you have to submit a letter of Intent to Retire and stipulate the date. You are then given your Retirement options as to benifits, etc. I think he had this in the works for some time, just a guess though.

BEG,
I'm afraid I'm not so generous of 'he's innocent' as you. And I'm English. I think he retired to STOP the internal investigation from going any further than it had. He resigned. It stopped. I think if the internal investigation had gone any further, he would have been dismissed from the force and lost his pension. As for flight? It would not surprise me in the least. Leave the kids, as he has done so since this broke. Who do you think was with the kids when he flew to NY?

[SuziQ]

IIRC, one of Stacy's family members said Stacy asked Drew for a divorce months ago and Drew asked her to wait till he retired. The retirement was in the works. Interestingly, Drew was only two days from retirement when he handed in his resignation. So why the rush? Unless Drew was convicted of a job related felony in those two days, he was going to get his pension. The only thing the resignation stopped were the two internal PD investigations. And don't forget, the Mayor was REAL quick accepting Drews resignation.

He may very well have agreed to the divorce months ago thinking it would give him time to "win back her heart" or figure out how to get rid of her.

[Leila]

Good point Leila. But I took it that Stacy Peterson called him.

After first being mentioned by full name once in the article, all persons are addressed only by their last name. Including Kathleen Savio.

Thanks for the correction. :) If Stacy called Rossetto just before she went missing, the only thing I can think of is she was looking for help, and thought Rossetto was someone who could help her. There was one article that stated that Rossetto isn't a suspect and what he told LE is being kept confidential. I have to think that there's something there that's important.

[TGIRecovered]

I don't believe he had any intention of sharing his retirement in a divorce settlement. Leila's right-he needed time to plan how to get rid of her.

Susan

[TGIRecovered]

I wonder if there is something special about Rossetto's line of work which would be helpful to her, like, LE from a different jurisdiction, or a minister or counselor or financial advisor. Maybe he does PI work. I wish I could find out what he does for a living!

Susan

Susan
From the photo of him standing in the doorway with his hand on the door I observed his hand/nails appeared to be that of someone who worked with his hands.

[Littledeer]

As a general rule of thumb, most places (either governmental or non-governmental) require at least 30 days notice prior to retirement or resigning.

Once that is done, after the last day of work, the employee then submits his request to the Pension Plan to receive benefits. The Pension Plan then submits a letter of inquiry to the place of employment requesting the date that the person last worked, his last pay amount and date of payment, etc. This form has to be notorized and sent back to the Pension Plan.

He won't be getting his first payment for at least a month or two. Don't know what the rules are if he is charged with a felony prior to the first payment being sent to him.

[Camper]

My mailman just brought my mail to the door. My Enquirer came. The headlines say that the police found Stacey's secret diary. Hmmm.

Will read later and report unless someone else already has one. It is a three page article with pics.

[Littledeer]

Enquirer??? If that's the "National Enquirer":

Read everything with a grain of salt! :)

Unfortunately the pension was voted on by "the board" last Thursday night and it's a done deal. The only thing that would have stopped it is a job related felony conviction prior to the pension being granted.

I am curious about the same thing. I think Stacy reached out to him for help. She did that with Pam the Thursday before she disappeared. She wanted to know if she could rent a rental property Pam owned. But Pam had already rented it out.

[Littledeer]

thanks camper for the info. I thought maybe the Pension Board could revoke any payments PRIOR to the first payment being sent if there was a charge put against him.

--->>>Well the cover page headline says "Cop's Missing Wife: Her Secret Diary Found". BUT BUT when you start reading the article inside you realize it has not been found but there was one. Story says Stacey began the diary three weeks before she went missing.

Article says, "Now, in a startling breakthrough, The Enquirer has learned that three weeks before she vanished, Stacy started keeping a diary in which she chronicled the violent fights between her and her police sergeant husband. And that diary of horror could put him behind bars for murder, say sources."

"I know Stacy kept a diary", friend Steve Cesare said.

Article says, "The Illinois mom - whose Oct 28 disappearance made national headlines - was urged by her aunt, Candac Aikin, to keep a record of her suffering."[/B]

My words here, Candace said that Stacy had bruises all ove her when she was pregnant with her son Anthony who is 4 now.

Further in the first page, The Enquirer sorta backtracks on their headline by saying this, [B]"While The Enquirer has confirmed the existence of the diary and uncovered some of its likely ocntents, Cesare added that are still searching for Stacy's writings."

Article answers some questions I had asked earlier, Kathleens children by DP are Thomas and Kris, 15 and 12 respectively.

Something I did not know was that Kathleen and DP had divorced and were battling in court over financial matters and property BEFORE she died. So that answered partially anyway, why it was not DP who found her body in the bathtub, but on the other hand how or why did DP's friend find her dead body??

Anyone know the answer to that one???

The reason Drew's friend Steve went in and found Kitty's body first was because Drew asked him to go in first with a neighbor. Then Drew heard screams, from the neighbor lady and ran in. Drew says he didn't go in first because Kitty did not want Drew in her house because she felt he might steal things, plant bugs, etc.

[DeltaDawn]

As far as Stacy's journal goes I wonder two things: Was it an online journal, if so the police have probably found it and two if it was on paper Drew probably found it and it went with Stacy when he disposed of the body.

[DeltaDawn]

I was thinking that possibly Rossetto owned a car repair service or something like that. Remember the social service worker that came forward in the beginning talking about Stacy having a fender bender in a parking lot with him? He said she seemed very afraid of Drew and wanted him to settle this outside insurance co and she would pay.

I thought maybe Rossetto was the person who did the repairs for them, and she knew him previously through his bother. Police have said that he was not a boyfriend, etc.

[Taximom]

Drew says he didn't go in first because Kitty did not want Drew in her house because she felt he might steal things, plant bugs, etc.

And Drew asked his friend to go in because he knew she was dead and would probably laugh too hard, being the joker he is.

The reason Drew's friend Steve went in and found Kitty's body first was because Drew asked him to go in first with a neighbor. Then Drew heard screams, from the neighbor lady and ran in. Drew says he didn't go in first because Kitty did not want Drew in her house because she felt he might steal things, plant bugs, etc.I find it quite telling he would say such things. My first thought was...the reason she felt those things...are because they were true, but isn't it curious HE would mention them at all?!

He probably did steal things and plant bugs in her home. Drew isn't the type to just "let go" of any relationship and lose the control he has over the other person. He will make sure he stays in their life (as he does popping up in the life of wife #2 still) and keeps their level of fear going.

This is the very top reason his story about Stacy makes absolutely NO sense. He would NEVER allow a woman to "dis" him like that and just let her go away with no consequences of her actions. He is Judge, Jury, and Executioner in every relationship.

[SeriouslySearching]

I was thinking that possibly Rossetto owned a car repair service or something like that. Remember the social service worker that came forward in the beginning talking about Stacy having a fender bender in a parking lot with him? He said she seemed very afraid of Drew and wanted him to settle this outside insurance co and she would pay.

I thought maybe Rossetto was the person who did the repairs for them, and she knew him previously through his bother. Police have said that he was not a boyfriend, etc.Hmmmm...interesting idea! This might have some merit!

--->>>What was the circumstance of Drew even going to Kathleens house that day???

One of my childrens divorce was so antagonistic, with undocumented words flying that my son had his attorney require that words about 'matters' other than the children would be discussed only by email. Things that needed working out about the children could be discussed by telephone.

.

[DeltaDawn]

Drew had not been able to reach Kitty and he went to her house to return the children, it was his weekend to have the boys and it was their return time. When she didn't answer the door or her phone he got suspicious he said. So he went home called Steve, another neighbor and a locksmith. The locksmith arrived before Steve, according to Steve. So Drew had Steve and the neighbor go in first, heard the screams and then he came in. Fishy story if I ever heard one.

[DeltaDawn]

If Drew was going to murder Kitty it is my opinion he would have done the job at time when he had the boys, so that he knew they were out of the house and not about to walk in during Kitty's murder.

He also stated the last time he saw or spoke with her was about 2 days before..which fits in with the timeline of her dying about 30 to 40 hours prior to her being found that evening.

I really think Drew thought someone else would find Kitty. When he had to return the boys, time ran out and he had to switch to the he's concerned and couldn't get ahold of her and needs to return the boys script.

If he was there to return the children...where were they? He would not have suspected really there was anything wrong that he couldn't reach her other than she wasn't home since it wasn't her weekend with the kids...so why go to all the trouble of getting a locksmith, etc. Did she keep her car in the garage? I think so since she accused him once of changing the code to the opener. He couldn't see if she was home or not! He had no reason to "suspect" something was so very wrong...unless he already knew beforehand.

Drew claims that he tried to call Kitty all weekend. Why? And are their phone records that far back?

Another thing about the boob job, etc. Is their any proof of this? Or is BS that Drew is coming up with?

[browneyedgirl]

BEG,
I'm afraid I'm not so generous of 'he's innocent' as you. And I'm English. I think he retired to STOP the internal investigation from going any further than it had. He resigned. It stopped. I think if the internal investigation had gone any further, he would have been dismissed from the force and lost his pension. As for flight? It would not surprise me in the least. Leave the kids, as he has done so since this broke. Who do you think was with the kids when he flew to NY?

I apologize for this misunderstanding. I did not mean in ANY way that I believe that he is innocent. I believe that he is the farthest thing from it.....I was trying to make the point that it seems odd to me that he already has things planned out, in case something were to happen to him, ie...jail,taking an unexpected vacation.
What I am trying to say is this, I think it's "fishy" that he already has all of these plans made which leads me to believe that 1 of 2 things are going to happen. A) He knows he will get indicted for KS murder and looking at jail time or B) He's made plans to leave and leave the children behind.

[Bigfoot]

DP talked about the boob job, braces, tummy tuck - all things that Stacy allegedly wanted - on one of the tv talk shows. Someone who personally knows DP and Stacy had told me about the boob job the first day she went missing - among other things - mostly about how he wanted a trophy wife etc.

[browneyedgirl]

IIRC, one of Stacy's family members said Stacy asked Drew for a divorce months ago and Drew asked her to wait till he retired. The retirement was in the works. Interestingly, Drew was only two days from retirement when he handed in his resignation. So why the rush? Unless Drew was convicted of a job related felony in those two days, he was going to get his pension. The only thing the resignation stopped were the two internal PD investigations. And don't forget, the Mayor was REAL quick accepting Drews resignation.

Exactly, SuziQ. Which is why I believe was the reason for the resignation in the first place. Trying to stay 1 step ahead of LE and trying to minimize the abuse of the badge that was going to come from the internal investigation.:twocents:

That comment makes sense with the other things we've come to know about his personality. It has always struck me how much all the wives look alike. Especially, IMO, I think SP looks alot like a young version of KS.
What a nut job he is.

[DeltaDawn]

Drew probably thought that her current boyfriend, which has never been proven by any one else, would find her or one of her friends would find her. I don't think he thought that she would just lie there in the tub for almost 2 days and not be found. I think he had alibis prepared incase she was found while he had the boys. He probably spent more time with the boys that weekend then he ever did before or has since.

[browneyedgirl]

I find it quite telling he would say such things. My first thought was...the reason she felt those things...are because they were true, but isn't it curious HE would mention them at all?!

:clap: :clap: :clap: He is Judge, Jury, and Executioner in every relationship.

I couldn't agree more.

[Taximom]

My ex would have been P.O.'d if I weren't home when he brought our daughter back from visitation. He would have left a few messages probably starting with impatience then building to anger. Then he would have turned around and taken her back to his place till he heard from me.

That's what bothers me about the whole "breaking in" deal with KS. We know he wasn't the most easy-going guy and I can't see him being concerned about KS, unless he already knew what had happened and was just faking the concern.

ETA: This comment should probably be on the KS thread!

[DeltaDawn]

Notice his so called concern for his children and saying that they are stuck in the house. Well, he has said the older 2 go to school everyday. He leaves on his bike everyday to just ride he says. Why doesn't he have his brother cme over and take the kids out for a drive to get the little ones out of the house? Or why hasn't he called the small children's friends parents and asked if other children could come to play or his kids might go there to play? He doesn't seem to be knocking himself out taking care of the younger too or even looking for ways to get them out with their little friends and family. In one interview he said they did go to a party this weekend and that was good for the little ones. Well, they could have been visisting other children everyday if Drew took the time to arrange that.

I know the reporters have been very respectful of not taking pics of the older two children as they leave for school in the morning. I think friends of the family would be more then happy to entertain the two little ones..especially Stacy's sister..so what's the problem Drew..is it just you don't know how to take care of the kids so they can live a somewhat normal life until Mommy's vacation has ended?

[Camper]

Help me out here with my thinking please,

I have forgotten the date of death for KS, or I could have done the math on my thought.

IF IF DP was bringing the children back to KS after his weekend with them, were the children old enough to have had the number combination to the lock or a key of their own?? So access might have been possible to go inside and see IF IF there might have been a note or something?

Did KS have a cell phone back then OR did DP have a cell phone?

Just a hair brained thought perhaps.

Bigfoot, has your friend made any other insights into Stacy and Drew's relationship? I certainly agree with the trophy wife comment..I would even believe Drew incouraged the tummy tuck and boob job...and told everyone so that they could see that he could afford a trophy wife.

Was this person more a friend of Drew's or Stacy..I know you said they knew them both..but in a marriage friends usually come in along with one or the other of the spouses.

[maureeng]

Hi everyone,

Thank you for the welcome.

It's okay with me if someone wants to re-post it on a different thread. I wasn't sure where to post it. I kept the info about this case because it is so bizarre and tragic. I hope it doesn't grow cold.

There is too much here that is suspect. Unfortunately, the forensics and timeline evidence in Kathleen Savio's case are gone and there is not yet any evidence that Stacy is dead or alive.

When you read the articles, you can see the patterns of DP's coldness, confidence, oddness, abusive behavior towards women, and a police department that turned a blind eye. Warning signs were everywhere. I have to search for some of the comments by Cassandra Cales for the specifics on Stacy's timeline and the article in which DP is said to not be an attentive father who let wife no. 2 take his children to their games. I think if this were not America, we could skip the trial and go right to sentencing.

[Bigfoot]

Delta Dawn, my friend is in LE in a neighboring community and while he is not friends per se with DP, has been to many social functions with DP (and a couple of his wives) and has worked with him on police business, both having been in LE for many, many years and he has a good idea of DP's need for control and power. My friend just shakes his head at all the stuff going on and as most of the fellow cops agree, he's giving them ALL a bad name. Not all cops are cheats, etc. Yes, a lot of them are but not all! He's known for years what kind of guy DP is so he really tried to not have much to do with him.

[DeltaDawn]

Bigfoot your friend in LE is very smart to not hang out with DrewP. I think that long ago when he was released from his duties due to the drug deals and outing another uncover person's name that he was reinstated because they had just started a review committe that backed up the police. I cannot think of what name they gave it...it was some branch of the police force that they had never had prior to this. Makes me wonder if the mayor started that to help cover his cop friends who were into illegal activities.
For more on Mayor Claar try this link
http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/October-2007/BolingbrookaCest-Moi/
He's quite an interesting character..cussing and throwing magazines during an interview..it's a two page interview someone else posted earlier on but it really shows what type of person this Mayor Claar is and how manipulative he can be/

[SuziQ]

It was called something like the fire and police board. They did fire Drew. But a special prosecutor for the states attorney's office testified that there wasn't enough evidence to begin with and the judge overuled the boards decision giving Drew his job back. The states attorney's office gave Drew alot of free rides, IMO.

[Bigfoot]

After reading about Mayor Claar, I can certainly understand why he over-ruled the Police Chief (because he could). My gosh is this the only state in the US that has so much corruption, or are they all like this? Is it a power trip? As Jane Q. Public, I just don't understand it.

[Camper]

A person just has to wonder about the enormous drug traffic in America. President of Mexico said a couple of weeks ago, when we complained about the drug traffic, that "People have to be using the drugs, or there would be no trafficking. Something to that affect anyhow.

So wondering about who is using drugs that might be sitting in HIGH office.

It's based on a true story about Frank Lucas, and if you read NY Magazine's articles from an interview with Lucas around 6 years ago, you'll find most of the movie is not only true, it doesn't tell enough of what actually went on, like paying off a general to smuggle drugs aboard Kissinger's plane. And, in the 1970's! Lucas was profiting a million dollars a day. 52 of 70 of NY's finest were indicted. Incredible!

Can you imagine what the drug trade in the US is today? No wonder cops go bad with the money that can be made from the drug trade.

Paraphrasing some of what was said for those stuck at work today. :D

Per Stacy's stepsisters:
Stacy had a new cell phone because she was tired of Drew tracking her calls. Marriage counseling was not going well.

Drew had thrown Stacy down the stairs. In one incident, a family member took the kids out of the house because Drew had thrown Stacy against the wall.

Stacy never talked about having a boyfriend or romantic interest. To Drew any male was a romantic interest for Stacy. Even male family members.

When Drew gave one of the stepsisters, Tina's ashes, he said "When Stacy comes back you fight her for them". The stepsister asked, "Is Stacy coming back?" He said, "Oh yeah, she's coming back."

[SuziQ]

That seems very plausible. Were the kids with him when he went there? Do we know?

They were not with him.

[Jaded]

They were not with him.

Didn't he say he was dropping the children off? I thought I read earlier that she had a restraining order against him, so what was he doing at her home? This just does not add up, imo.

[mysteriew]

Drew Peterson gave her an engagement ring.

Together, they picked out a china pattern.

[itsreenw]

That seems very plausible. Were the kids with him when he went there? Do we know? Well, he's told a couple different stories.

First he was taking the kids back, in the other version, he hadn't talked to KP in a couple days so he got worried. Now ponder this...he was so concerned about his EX wife after not hearing from her for 2 days that he basically breaks in her house to make sure she's ok.

Now Stacy, who is STILL his wife has been missing for three weeks and he hasn't looked for her at all?? Heck, according to Rick Mims, they even went looking for Stacy's mom.

And...DP was on duty at the time they went to KP's house so he was taking care of personal business on the clock. I still think he and the neighbor should be charged with breaking and entering. DP had no right to have a locksmith open KP's door.

Think that may be close Delta. I mentioned in a post his hand in the doorway photo looked as if he worked with his hands.

[Bigfoot]

Great post (the Piry article) Mysteriew. I hadn't seen that. I'm sure there are many more women that he has hit on and/or dated. I only wish they'd talk about it. More anti-DP to add to the case.

[Leila]

As far as Stacy's journal goes I wonder two things: Was it an online journal, if so the police have probably found it and two if it was on paper Drew probably found it and it went with Stacy when he disposed of the body.

I seem to remember that there was the first search warrant executed and then the police went back with a second search warrant. In the second search, someone on scene said something about finding "it", but didn't elaborate on what "it" was. I remember speculation about what it was that the police went back to find. It would make sense that something the police found during the first search led them to go back to find something referred to as a result of the first search, or that someone - maybe one of Stacy's family members - remembered something and that's what the police went back to find.

[Leila]

I find it quite telling he would say such things. My first thought was...the reason she felt those things...are because they were true, but isn't it curious HE would mention them at all?!

He probably did steal things and plant bugs in her home. Drew isn't the type to just "let go" of any relationship and lose the control he has over the other person. He will make sure he stays in their life (as he does popping up in the life of wife #2 still) and keeps their level of fear going.

This is the very top reason his story about Stacy makes absolutely NO sense. He would NEVER allow a woman to "dis" him like that and just let her go away with no consequences of her actions. He is Judge, Jury, and Executioner in every relationship.

I know someone who is very much like Drew Peterson. In this case, a couple were divorced 10 years ago. The wife filed for divorce from her controlling and abusive husband. From the moment she moved out of their home, he followed her, left nasty messages on her cell phone and home answering machine, and was the immediate suspect when the tires on her car were slashed on two separate occasions. The ex-husband ended up being arrested for felony stalking and spent 9 months in jail. Three years later the ex-husband had a girlfriend, who broke off with him. He did the same thing - followed her, left nasty messages on her cell phone and home answering machine, and did $800 worth of damage to her car. He was arrested for that and spent 4 months in jail. Last December he left threatening messages on his ex-wife's cell phone again, and has been charged with making terrorist threats. He's going through the court system and his ex-wife has been told that this time he's facing 3 years in state prison.

The logical thing to do in that situation would have been to call her best friend/neighbor and ask her if she had seen Kathleen. Instead, he goes over there and makes a big show of calling a locksmith and having her best friend and another neighbor, Steve Carcerano present. He and Kathleen were divorced and he had no authority to do that. Have we ever learned for certain that Steve is a locksmith? If he is, then that's all the more suspicious.

Wouldn't you think that before entering the home that an ex might get hold of a relative? To ask them to go to the home or to get permission to enter or something? I mean he 'says' she was accusing him of things he alleges he didn't do. Wouldn't he be fearful of her filing charges for unlawful entry against him and whoever participated if she was alive? Why he could have gotten criminal charges filed against his good buddy Steve by asking him to enter. As a police officer, I am sure he knew that. And also as an officer, I am sure he knew to contact the next of kin in any emergency. Also, police officers are taught that they cannot enter a home without a warrant unless they see or hear signs of foul play.

Excellent point mysteriew............yes, Kathleen's family lives right there in Bolingbrook, and it would have been the most logical to have called them with his concerns. Rather than two neighbors, he should have called Kathleens father, sister, or brother. It's very possible that one of those relatives would have had a key to Kathleen's house too, as is often the case.

The more you think about it, the more suspicious DP becomes in how he handled that situation. His version doesn't make a lot of sense.

I also see that Stacy's mom has been missing for years too?

this guy is a sgt..... he knows what he is doing! grrrrrr......

The first wife and DP were divorced about 1981-1982, and although the first wife has stated there was no abuse in the marriage, DP was having an affair.

The second wife also divorced DP, stating that he was having an affair, but she also states that he was abusive to her, both physical and mental abuse. The stated that he told her that he could kill her and make it look like an accident. She has spoken out on this. She had been previously married before she married DP and came into the marriage with an 8-year-old daughter, Lisa, who was also abused by DP. She said he used to punish her by whipping her with a belt. That marriage lasted from 1982-1992.

Stacy's mother disappeared in 1999. She had lost a small child in a house fire in 1982 and lost an infant to SIDS in 1987. She grieved the loss of those two children and was evidently unstable. She and Stacy's father, Anthony Cales, divorced in the early 1990's, and the children of their marriage lived with their father and his second wife. She was in the habit sometimes disappearing for a few weeks at a time, but always came back. In 1999, she left with her purse and a bible, saying she was going to church and disappeared.

Edited to add: There were two children from the first marriage - Steve and Eric; no children from the second marriage; 2 children from the third marriage - Tom and Kristopher; 2 children from the fourth marriage - Anthony and Lacy.

This could be more bad news for DP. If he says she left for another man, this would seem to be the man if they were exchanging text messages.

Well, he is obviously still here so who is the mystery man, Drew? He kept tabs on her enough to know she was at Denny's with this guy, but he has no idea who the other guy she left with is? :hand:

He asked me how I’d react if my wife was with another man,” Rossetto said.

Drew, the question is how did you react?

As per link it says

Rossetto, 35, told the Herald News last week that Stacy reached out to him about three weeks before she disappeared. He initially said he never met with her, but changed his story this afternoon after testifying before a Will County grand jury looking into the case.


He also had said

Rossetto has said he only knew Stacy because his twin brother and a friend had dated Stacy years ago — before she married Peterson. Rossetto said he had not heard from Stacy Peterson in years until she called him last month.


So how old was Stacy at the time his brother who is 8 years older dated her?

[DeltaDawn]

Wow!! I was reallywrong about Rossetto being the owner of a car repair service..he's a nurse. I beleive I read previously that Stacey dated his brother after she broke up her high school boyfriend..so that relationship would have been around the time Drew first met her.

Also it appears that the GJ is not just looking at Kathleen's death, but Stacy's disappearance...which I thought but was confused because that was never really stated until now. It just seemed from the people they were questioning they were going in two seperate directions for two different cases..but originally I thought they were just looking into Kathleen's death. I hope I have that info correct now.

[SeriouslySearching]

Hmmmm...well...I guess him being a nurse isn't as exciting as him being in the car repair biz!

One reason she could be in touch with him is because she was in school to become a nurse, Yes? I wonder if they have had contact while in school?

[SeriouslySearching]

I know someone who is very much like Drew Peterson. In this case, a couple were divorced 10 years ago. The wife filed for divorce from her controlling and abusive husband. From the moment she moved out of their home, he followed her, left nasty messages on her cell phone and home answering machine, and was the immediate suspect when the tires on her car were slashed on two separate occasions. The ex-husband ended up being arrested for felony stalking and spent 9 months in jail. Three years later the ex-husband had a girlfriend, who broke off with him. He did the same thing - followed her, left nasty messages on her cell phone and home answering machine, and did $800 worth of damage to her car. He was arrested for that and spent 4 months in jail. Last December he left threatening messages on his ex-wife's cell phone again, and has been charged with making terrorist threats. He's going through the court system and his ex-wife has been told that this time he's facing 3 years in state prison.Which in my book is ridiculous he was even OUT of jail the first time after exhibiting such behavior. Obsessive thinking and stalking are signs of later more violent abuse. To lock these men away without therapy and for only a short term stint does nothing to change their thinking process. They are probably more dangerous when they come out of jail after a few months than before they went in. It gives them time for the anger to build and them to plan revenge.

Stalking laws have changed, but penalties need to be stiffer and therapies need to be court ordered.
