Drew Peterson's 24-year-old fiancée has returned to him their engagement ring and this morning moved out of his Bolingbrook home, according to the woman's father.
Bolingbrook police were called to the home of the former Bolingbrook police sergeant about 10:30 a.m. to assist Christina Raines' move out.
Police spokesman Lt. Ken Teppel said about five squad cars responded to a call by Raines' father, Ernie, who had come to Peterson's home earlier in the morning to help his daughter.
Ernie Raines said his daughter has moved back into the apartment she had shared with her boyfriend of more than a year. She also returned to Peterson the engagement ring and a cell phone he bought for her.
Peterson declined to comment on the details of the breakup but he did question the public's fascination with his relationship.
"Isn't it hilarious that the citizens in the country are more interested in my love life than the impeachment of governor?" Peterson said. "We have an impeached governor and every time I go on a date, they're more interested in that. I'm boggled. This is beyond me. It's like Drew TV."
Ernie Raines said he thought that an interview Peterson had done on "Nightline"--which aired Thursday--sparked her decision to leave him.
He said his daughter called him Thursday afternoon--before the "Nightline" interview aired, but after snippets were circulating in the media--saying that she needed his help moving out of Peterson's house.
But during his interview with the Tribune this afternoon Christina Raines yelled from the background: "I was leaving regardless!"
There is hope for this young lady, that her father would do all that he could to save her life.
Who is Drew Peterson?
Keeping informed these days are we? :)
He's the Scott Peterson of Illinois.

“We have an impeached governor and every time I go on a date, they’re more interested in that.”
But isn’t that the point of these stories - keep people interested in mindless crap, rather than corruption & evil in their government.
Peterson’s scum, but it’s still meaningless “news”
Probably not. She’ll just move on to some other abusive, demeaning relationship like as not.

I'm surprised too, you have got to figure that the press is just following him to make sure he doesn't kill the poor girl. But that does go against everything I believe about the press, him offing her would increase ratings.
Sounds like a franchise operation when you put it that way.
Drugs must have worn off her....
Yes, innocent, but carries a death wish around with her, and a card certifying she has an IQ sub room temperature.
Woman, what were you thinking?
This is a guy with two ex-wives whose deaths are highly suspicious.
Doesn't that raise a red flag with any careful, rational woman?
“But isn’t that the point of these stories - keep people interested in mindless crap, rather than corruption & evil in their government.”
This interests people because murder is one of the biggest cause of death for young women,especially pregnant ones, usually by a husband/boyfriend. People can relate. There are millions of girls who are ‘in love’ and so brainwashed by their abusive partner and never listen to their parents or anyone else until it’s too late.
His wives die. Young.
Not too surprising....but at least she was able to get out with her life. Past wives not so lucky....
