Police Sergeant's Wife Goes Missing(Bolingbrook Illinois)

WMAQ ^ | 10.30.07 | Channel 5

State Police are searching for the wife of a southwest suburban Bolingbrook police sergeant. "Because he's one of our officers, we thought it would be better to have an independent agency investigating," Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar said of the state's involvement in the disappearance of Stacey Peterson. It was not clear how long Peterson, the 23-year-old wife of Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, has been missing.

She was supposed to help a friend do some painting, but never showed up.

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. The investigation revealed Savio drowned. Her fingertips showed pruning from being submerged in water and her hair was wet when she was found. 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. 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. 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. Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to call ISP Joliet District at 815-726-6377.

Peterson certainly knew how to *work* that neighbor. He pulled up in a police car and asked for his help.

Not sure anyone would refuse, or be suspicious - in fact the neighbor/friend is still unable to accept that he was *used* by Peterson.

There was another person in the house - Stacy’s best friend. Would like to hear her account as well. The guy was careful not to release her name during that interview.

[sodpoodle]

On the matter of wives #1& #2 - it was stated that the authorities had interviewed *all relevant people* and we were to assume that included the former wives.

Thanks for reinforcing the statement by one family member that Peterson fathered eight children. Only six have been identified - perhaps he has two illegitimate children by other women!!!!!!! Like the Cutts creep!

Good local coverage here:

especially comments from inquest jurors; “a police officer was on the jury who said that Drew Peterson is a great guy and would never....”

It had a huge influence on the outcome..Walter James, one of the jurors said he had a lot of questions about a gash in Kathy’s neck and where did the blood go?

I have been checking this thread for interest. This case is so complex with new developments coming fast and furious.

Will no longer ping on this thread - will probably be over at Greta’s and Jamie Colby’s blogs on FoxNews.

I have to warn you - the format is very confusing - nothing like FReeRepublic topics, pings and FReepmail.
No continuity, but the comments are quite good and civilized.

We could still post updates here- there are a few of us still posting new information.

(CBS) ― A source tells CBS 2 sister station WBBM Newsradio 780 that search teams are investigating something they found while searching for missing Bolingbrook mother Stacy Peterson. Meanwhile, her husband, Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, has been stripped of his powers, and authorities are looking at him Saturday morning as a suspect in the disappearance of his wife. Sources told WBBM Newsradio 780's Mary Frances Bragiel that something that resemblked or what was suspected to be a shallow grave was found by search teams from the professional search group Texas Equusearch, which has had members searching for Stacy Peterson for the last week. Texas Equusearch founder and head Tim Miller would not say whether the discovery was believed to be a shallow grave or something else, or elaborate otherwise on what it was. Miller would not say exactly where the discovery was made, but said it was not in the Green Valley Forest Preserve near Naperville where teams had been searching earlier. He said they had been looking about six miles from the search command post -- the Westbrook Christian Church, at 1175 Lily Cache Rd. in Bolingbrook.

False alarm!

Apparently someone buried their dog in a woodland grave.

Missing Illinois Mom’s Neighbor Reports to Police Cop-Husband’s Odd Behavior

Saturday, November 10, 2007

BOLINGBROOK, Ill. — A neighbor of an Illinois woman filed a police report against the husband of an Illinois woman and recalled seeing the mother of two sitting at the end of her driveway in tears a week before she disappeared.

“’He’s all packed up and I want him to go,’” Sharon Bychowski told FOX News Stacy Peterson said. Six boxes allegedly filled with Drew Peterson’s belongings sat in the couple’s open garage, she continued.

A close friend and next-door neighbor of Stacy and Drew Peterson, Bychowski said she filed a police report on Thursday after Drew Peterson showed up on her lawn at 11 p.m. and began shouting her name: “’Come here, Sharon. … I want you,’” FOX News’ Jeff Goldblatt reported she said.

Bychowski, who at times baby-sits the Petersons’ two children and took them trick-or-treating this year, said she is staying in a hotel under a fictitious name to avoid the area and is contemplating seeking an order of protection against the suspended Bolingbrook, Ill., police sergeant. On Friday he was named a suspect in Stacy Peterson’s disappearance.

a restraining order won’t protect her from this guy.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

sod, thank you very much.

With the media camp growing outside his Bolingbrook home, Sgt. Drew Peterson took his case to Geraldo Rivera Saturday.

Off-camera, he insisted he had nothing to do with his wife’s disappearance and complained to the Fox Network broadcaster that stress caused by media coverage has caused him to lose 25 pounds.

“I’ve done nothing wrong,” Rivera quoted Peterson as saying. “I’ve been cooperating fully with police.”

Police on Friday, however, said Peterson hasn’t offered them any help in more than a week.

Except Peterson did not take his case to Geraldo - Geraldo pushed him.

There are just so many people to keep up with - I believe Equusearch has found two areas of interest and will show them to State LE for further investigation.

[pray4liberty]

a restraining order won’t protect her from this guy.

If she doesn't have a gun, she'd better get one.

[Jane Austen]

I hope they find her. The third wife’s death should never have been listed as an accident, same as Anna Nicole’s was no accident.

[nickcarraway]

When will women learn to stop marrying guys named Peterson?

[sodpoodle]

You are a writer - look at the syllables;)

What’s in a name you ask!

[sodpoodle]

Questionable Behavior has a good blog on this case.

If and when they find Stacy’s body - Peterson is a goner!

I believe he asphyxiated Kathy in the toilet. Just enough water to suffocate her - water in her sinuses but not her lungs.

I have this gut feeling Peterson paid another pilot $25k to drop Stacy’s body over Lake Michigan. Probably a drug dealer acquaintance with a larger airplane. She’ll wash up on shore wearing a bikini and clutching her passport.
