Authorities executed another search warrant late Tuesday in the case of a former suburban Chicago police sergeant suspected in his 23-year-old wife's disappearance.
The latest warrant dealt with items inside two vehicles already seized from Drew Peterson's home, said Charles Pelkie, a spokesman for the Will County state's attorney's office. He declined to elaborate.
Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, told WFLD-TV that the warrant says police are seeking items that "may have been utilized in commission of the offense of first-degree murder or the concealment of a homicidal death."
The warrant also indicates interest in trace elements of several materials, including blue plastic, Brodsky told the Fox affiliate.
Brodsky did not immediately return messages from The Associated Press.
A relative of Peterson's reportedly helped him move a heavy container out of his home and put it the family's sport-utility vehicle the day his wife vanished, an allegation Brodsky denied last week. A nonprofit group helping to search for Stacy Peterson has said police asked them to look for a blue plastic barrel large enough to hide a body.
Illinois State Police did not immediately return a message left after business hours Tuesday.
After 23-year-old Stacy Peterson, the officer's fourth wife, disappeared in late October, authorities named her 53-year-old husband a suspect in what they have said is a potential homicide.
Prosecutors also are reviewing the death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, and have said the drowning, deemed accidental at the time, may have been a homicide staged to look that way.
Peterson has not been named a suspect in her death.
"With all the hoopla, it's hard to believe something won't happen," he told WFLD-TV on Tuesday night.
On Nov. 1, state police seized two vehicles at the home the Petersons shared with their children — a GMC Denali and a Pontiac Grand Prix.
The vehicles were loaded onto trucks and taken to an undisclosed location.
This guy sure doesn’t act like he is missing his wife; he is acting so danged cocky in front of the tv cameras - it makes me ill.
Why doesn’t he go golfing with O.J. in search of what happened to his wife?
Hard to believe he isn’t guilty...2 wives dead, they stated they were afraid, etc.
Makes me cringe too yorkie.
Almost like he is drinking heavily or on some type of drugs.
He went from hiding out from the camaras at first now he is acting bizarre (high, goofy) with all this playing games with the media.
I wonder if he will (if found guilty and convicted for life to prison) lose his 6 grand a month retirement pension?
Those poor kids don’t have a mom and about to lose a Dad.
His jealousy and now arrogance is going to be the deadly sin.
We are to believe that Stacy Peterson is now sitting in a motel room somewhere with her boyfriend, munching popcorn and yukking it up over the fools, including her family and children, now missing and desperately searching for her.
And you gotta love those Bolingbrook and Illinois state cops who ruled the death of a healthy woman found drowned, bruised and bleeding in a dry bathtub as an accident.
Lots of info on this case at the link below and I am a True Crime buff keeping up on this most intriguing case.
