2001 (??) Anonymous Letter Sent to Kathleen Savio
http://www.acandyrose.com/kathleen_savio_2001Anonymous.htm

Anonymous Letter

NOTE FROM THE WEBMASTER:

The following is an "AS IS" transcript of the anonymous letter apparently sent to Kathleen Savio Peterson [Estimated to be around December 2001] to inform her at the time, that her husband Drew Peterson was having an affair with a 17 year old woman, that woman now being the missing 4th wife, Stacy Peterson as of October 28, 2007.

The letter had been talked about in the media, on public message forums as well as talk shows for weeks but it wasn't until December 21, 2007 that the letter was shown on the NBC Dateline show "Deadly suspicion." At that time a partial screen capture was obtained and from that capture the transcript was done and to maintain the integrity of the original document, any and all typing errors and/or incorrect information remained intact.

That Internet poster under the name of "dethead" then shared the "AS IS" transcript on a public message forum.

This is ONLY a partial transcript of page 1 of the letter, what could be obtained from the screen capture. At this time it is not known how many pages comprised the complete letter. Kathleen Savio's neighbor, Steve Carcerano stated on the Nancy Grace show on 12/17/2007 "There was a letter stuck in the mailbox. It was typewritten. It was many pages. And it was someone revealing the fact that Drew had a girlfriend, which was Stacy at the time."

Letter received by kS as seen on Dateline NBC:

Kathy,

This letter is being sent to you for your benefit. At this point and time you are probably well aware that your husband is having an affair. The girl's name (and she is just that, a girl) is stacy Yelton born 7/17/1984, resides at Preston Apt-129 Bolingbrook,Il.

You may already have all of this information but if not, you will need it to prevent andy further embarrassment and disgrace to you and your family. This affair has been going on for several months and several people have been aware of this situation. Because of her age (17) and the fact that she is an employee of the village and because of Drew's age and his occupation, he holds a position of authprity over her. drew could be charged criminally for his intimate involvement with this minor.

Village officials (mayor, trustee's) and everyone at the police department have complete knowledge of this situation. It has been an ongoing joke within the department. Teh issue has been discussed and has been decided to conceal his behavior to protect the village and Drew. Because of his political alliance with Roger Claar and ken Each, they are protecting themselves from the embarrasment and the liability. The real victims (being you and your family) should be the ones being protected from the embarrassment.

This is not the first time in the past year that Drew's immoral and unethical behavior has been concealed. This past summer Drew allowed the beating of an arrestee who was handcuffed and defenseless. The past fall Drew was suspected to have planted narcotics (cocaine) on two superate drug raids to obtain a substantial arrest to overshadow his recent behavior and now his illegal intimate relationship with a minor.

Drew has been willing to sacrifice hs integrity for his personal gain with total disregard that his actions will embarress and disrespect his wife and children. BEWARE whom you talk to within the village administration and within the police department.....(remaining portion not visible)

KNOWN FACTUAL ERRORS IN THE LETTER:

1 - Stacy's maiden name was not "Stacy Yelton" it was Stacy Cales.

2 - The name "Yelton" is Stacy's brother's FIRST name. (Yelton Cales)

3 - Stacy's birthday is 01/20/1984 and Yelton's is 08/07/1979 (Neither was born July 17th).

4 - "the fact that she is an employee of the village" (Stacy was employed with the village of Bolingbrook for "ONLY 6 WEEKS" between November 5th and December 17th of 2001 which possibly dates the letter during that period).

5 - *IF* the letter was written in the late fall of 2001 then Stacy would have been age 17, which according to Illinois law is not under age.

KNOWN FACTS IN THE LETTER:

1 - Roger Claar is the Mayor of Bolingbrook, Illinois.

2 - Ken Each was the former Police Chief of Bolingbrook, Illinois.

My two cents.

IMO, the anonymous letter writer to Kathleen didn't work at Bolingbrook Police or they would have known that Stacy's last name wasn't "Yelton" although the writer is aware there is some connection between Stacy to the name "Yelton" but not knowing it was her brother's first name.

I would think police department employees would have to wear some kind of ID tag which would show Stacy's name as "Stacy Cales" so the writer's information source didn't come from the police station IMO but from somebody who knew she was working there and somebody who is directly associated with the person she references as "This past summer Drew allowed the beating of an arrestee who was handcuffed and defenseless." The information could have even come from jail house talk because of the referenced beating incident. Yelton is not a common first name so if his name came up in the jail house talk somebody could have thought Yelton was a last name thus connecting his sister as having the same last name not realizing his name was Yelton Cales.

This also gives us a better date of the actual letter being written between November 5th and December 17th of 2001 since those were the dates when Stacy was working at Bolingbrook and the writer references "the fact that she is an employee of the village." The date of the anonymous letter is *probably* toward the end in December because it was in February and March of 2002 that Kathleen began filing domestic abuse complaints against Drew.

How the writer came up with the birthday as "7/17/xxxx" is a mystery as that is obviously not Stacy's birthday. But it also could be why the writer thought Stacy was under age thinking she didn't turn 17 until July 17th and the writer's comment, "This affair has been going on for several months" when in fact Stacy turned 17 on January 20th of 2001.

The letter writer also is not close enough to the family to know that Kathleen was referenced as "Kitty" by her family and yet knew that some people apparently called her "Kathy."

Reference: "luannew" e-mail from Chief McGury confirming Stacy's employment as 11/05/2001 to 12/17/2001 http://findstacypeterson.com/forum/index.php?topic=1988.35

[Kathleen Savio documentation of abuse by Drew Peterson]

Savio Documentation
Of Peterson's Abuse

"Kathleen Savio's family showed our sister station WGNTV documents. They include a photo of a brused photo of Savio"

ILL

Chicago Tribune VIDEO: "Wife's relatives say have records proving abuse"

"They believe they have records that prove he was abusive. Kathleen Savio's family showed our sister station WGNTV documents. They include a photo of a brused photo of Savio and a copy of an anonymous letter she received telling her her husband was having an affair with a then 17 year old Stacy Peterson. Savio's body was found in a bathtub in 2004. Her death was ruled an accident but authorities recently exhumed her body to take a second look at the case and an independent medical examiner determined she was murdered. Peterson maintains he had nothing to do with Savio's death."

Carcerano said the Petersons were happy until the anonymous letter about Stacy

ILL

STEVE CARCERANO, DREW PETERSON'S NEIGHBOR: "Yes. We lived two doors down. Again, her best friend, which was my direct neighbor, we`re very close. We`re like family to them. And we saw them all the time. And you know, as far as we could tell -- I mean, as far as I could tell, they were happy up until the point when Kathy got the letter, anonymous letter in the mail, and that`s what disclosed that there was Stacy in the picture at that point." - "There was a letter stuck in the mailbox. It was typewritten. It was many pages. And it was someone revealing the fact that Drew had a girlfriend, which was Stacy at the time. And then when that came out, that was, you know, obviously, a big thing in their relationship. And from there, proceeded to go downhill very quickly."
