Stacy Peterson's father speaks to grand jury
"She never left her kids," he said. "She called me every day. If she didn't get me on the phone, she'd leave a voice mail."
I just read the article that Chicoliving posted in the media links, and found this tidbit very interesting!
Peterson's neighbor James A. Mitchem Jr. and his teenage son also testified, but declined to comment.
My immediate thought upon reading this was that maybe this is the neighbor who reported seeing DP and an "unidentified man" (Tom Morphey) move a blue barrel into DP's vehicle the evening of October 28th.
At the time it was reported that a neighbor saw DP and an unknown man move a blue barrel into DP's vehicle the night of October 28th, all the major media was in Bolingbrook and basically camped out in front of DP's house. The media was clamoring for interviews with anyone connected to the case. They interviewed Sharon, Cassandra, and later members of the Savio family, Ric Mims, and almost every night, Steve Carcerano. Still later, we learned about Tom Morphey being the man who helped DP move a blue container to DP's vehicle.
In all the media interviews, there's three people who've never been interviewed............Tom Morphey, the neighbor who witnessed the blue barrel being moved into DP's vehicle, and Mary, the neighbor/best friend of Kathleen Savio, who was also in the house the night Kathleen was found.
I think James A. Mitchem, Tom Morphey, and Mary, are the three major witnesses and LE advised the media that these three were not available for interviews. These are the three who's testimony is being saved for the grand jury and a future trial.
Edited to add.......I just read another newspaper article on today's grand jury appearances, and in that article it states that James A. Mitchem is a neighbor and also the high school principal that one of DP's boys stayed with in the first few days after Stacy's disappearance. So, he's evidently not the man who witnessed the blue barrel being moved the night of Oct. 28th. Here's the link to the newspaper article:
