This is, I think, a more complete article than the one posted above. At least, of the six or seven articles I have just read, it is most complete.
Drew reveals text message
some snips:
"Stacy's husband, embattled ex-cop Drew Peterson, claims he stumbled upon the message in mid-December when he was fiddling with the phone belonging to his son, Tommy.
"Stacy had gotten a new phone with a new carrier and changed SIM cards with Tommy," Peterson said.
Peterson said he was scrolling through his son's text messages when he discovered the racy message he says must have been sent to Stacy.
"I was just playing with the phone one day and I found it," Peterson said. "I was like, 'What the heck is this?'"
Peterson said he first thought the message was sent to his 15-year-old son, but realized Stacy was still using the phone Sept. 20. He also said he learned his son did not know how to access the text messages on his new phone."
"Peterson handed the information off to his attorney, Joel Brodsky. Brodsky said he forwarded it to state police.
A search warrant issued Jan. 3 grants police the authority to seize, search and analyze the purple Nextel Motorola Peterson turned over Dec. 20 and to delve into the accounts used to create the message."
"
The message was sent through the Nextel messaging Web site, Brodsky said. Police have the e-mail address it was sent from, but it's not clear if authorities have used it to try to contact the sender.
"Basically, what this shows us is Stacy had a secret lover," Brodsky said. "Who is this guy? Is he missing?
"If this person is missing, then the mystery is solved," Brodsky pointed out. "If this person was just intimate with her, perhaps he'll have some information.""

Lawyer: Racy Message Proves Stacy Was Unfaithful
"Brodsky said his client turned over the phone to state police Dec. 20 after discovering the message in the device.
A private detective hired by Peterson tracked the message to the Sprint Nextel Web site and on Jan. 3, a judge signed an Illinois State Police search warrant for "cellular telephone and online accounts which may contain evidence of the commission of First Degree Murder" and other crimes.
Sprint Nextel spokesman Dave DeVries said anyone can use the company's Web site to text-message subscribers without being required to log in or open an account. He declined to comment on whether it is possible to track who sent messages."
