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.

Do I get a prize for saying hubby is guilty? I’m sure someone will be along soon to argue with me...
Two wives dead or missing within a couple of years? At the least it should raise red flags
Gee, why would you think that? /s :)
Stacy Peterson was last seen Sunday morning in the southwest suburb, wearing a red jogging suit, police said. She is the fourth wife of Sgt. Drew Peterson, a 29-year veteran of the Bolingbrook Police Department.
Stacy Peterson, 23
Peterson, 53, is a 29-year veteran of the department
Peterson called her husband about 9 p.m. Sunday, Teppel said, but he did not know the nature of the phone call.
At 4 a.m. Monday, her family went to the Illinois State Police to report that she was missing.
“Sgt. Peterson is cooperating fully with the state police,” said Teppel, who added that Peterson was taking some personal time to be with family and the couple’s children. “Obviously, he’s distraught over [her disappearance].”
Contacted at his home this afternoon, Peterson declined to comment.
“I’m waiting for my attorney to advise me,” Peterson said. “If he feels I should make a statement then I will. If he advises against it, then I won’t.”
Peterson is a student at Joliet Junior College, where she is majoring in pre-nursing, said a campus spokesman.
Two wives dead or missing within a couple of years? At the least it should raise red flags
Another red flag.
His latest wife is/was 23 years old.
His former wife was 40 years old.
I am guessing he is 40-50 years old.
This is his fourth wife.
So..... the next wife might be......15 ??????
He is 53
Why would you assume he is guilty? He has been married 4 times not that being married 4 times makes one a killer, one of the wives found dead from drowning in a dry bathtub,kicked off the force for numerous reasons. Gee, he sounds like a great guy. (sarc. of course)
My question is why would a women choose to be wife #4 with this guys laundry list?
I must have "misplaced" 7 or 8 of them myself. Oh, every once in a while one of them turns up hanging in the basement.....
Dum da dum dum. Dum da dum dum dummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
What is truly sad about this is there are so many of these thugs on police department payrolls around this country.
I’m sure this guy knows that he either has to fully cooperate with investigators every minute of every day or he has to get a damn good lawyer.
The next wife just might be about 25 and doing 25 to life for two counts of Murder 1.
“Do I get a prize for saying hubby is guilty? I’m sure someone will be along soon to argue with me...”
No argument for me.
It’s the husband for sure.
Hopefully they’ll reopen the other case too.
Send him away for life.
That is the million dollar question. I'll never understand it.
On the surface it sounds like Stacey Peterson may have met the same ending as Lacey Peterson. What is it with these Peterson men? I hope Stacey wasn’t pregnant.
Greta can now give an audible sigh of relief! She has been running short of material.
Makes you wonder if the guy’s middle name is Wayne. :o)
Not being discussed by *media* is the missing mother of the now missing 4th wife.
Apparently, Stacy’s mother disappeared 8 years ago - when Stacy was 15. Did Peterson know or have a relationship with the mother? Did he investigate her *disappearance* and become involved with Stacy during that time period? Or, was the mother trying to stop the relationship?
Interesting scenarios that should raise red flags IMHO
