ILL

"Over a barrel - 2ND MAN SOUGHT - Sources say neighbor told police he saw Drew Peterson and someone else loading barrel 'big enough to put someone in' into former cop's SUV" "A neighbor of Drew Peterson told police he spotted the former Bolingbrook police sergeant and a second man loading a large blue barrel into Peterson's sport utility vehicle hours after his young wife was last seen alive, sources said. The identity of the second man isn't known, a pair of police sources said. "That's who we're looking for," one of the sources said. That source described the barrel as blue with a volume of between 35 and 55 gallons. "Big enough to put someone in. Stacy Peterson, the 5-foot-2, 100-pound wife of Drew Peterson vanished Oct. 28. The 23-year-old mother of two was supposedly on her way to help the boyfriend of her sister Cassandra Cales paint a house in Yorkville but never arrived."

November 26th, 2007 2:32 PM Eastern, "My conversation with Drew," by Laura Ingle "I was in my rental car outside his house yesterday [11/25/2007] when he pulled up with his brother" - "I asked him point blank what his story was about the report that he was seen loading a blue barrel out of his house with a friend around the same time that Stacy was reported missing, and he shrugged that off with a smile, and said he had nothing to say about that and shook his head, like “no way, that didn’t happen.” Then HE brought up the scuba diving weights that are reportedly missing from his house. We’ve been hearing that Drew had a lot of scuba gear in the garage, and that when the search warrant was executed, the weights were gone. He says not true."

ILL

"There's no container—no blue barrel," said Brodsky, in reference to reports in other media that a neighbor saw a man help load a blue plastic barrel into the back of the Petersons' SUV. "That's all part of the growing swirl of rumors that seem to have engulfed this case." Referring to the relative, Brodsky said, "This man, from what I'm hearing, has some serious psychological issues. Once again, I don't even know if he said it. This could be one of a growing number of rumors swirling around this case."

ILL

"Drew Peterson, Bed Linens, the Big Blue Barrel and the Backyard Pool Tuesday, November 27th, 2007 by Jamie Colby (Fox News) "The last few days there’s been so much talk about the blue barrel - big enough a neighbor is reported to have said -to hold a body. The barrel first seen in Drew’s backyard…then carried out by Drew and a mystery man into his SUV as the reports go." - "What I do recall from my guided tour of Drew and Stacy’s home (offered by Drew just hours after the police came through executing a search warrant) is two things - the top of a different blue container and the bed linens taken by police." - "As I took the tour Drew offered me room to room exclusively and without any cameras, in the basement there was a large blue top to a container - not a barrel - but a rubbermaid type container that was very large without the matching bottom. Relevant? I don’t know. But it seemed odd to me that it was sitting there without the bottom in sight. Drew did not make reference to it."

“First it was a barrel, then it’s a container." "There never was a barrel, there never was a container."

ILL

Drew Peterson’s lawyer in denial mode - TODAY: People - MSNBC.com 11/29/2007: Joel Brodsky, Drew Peterson’s attorney, and NBC legal analyst Dan Abrams talk with TODAY’s Meredith Vieira about the case. - "What we have here is an unnamed, unauthorized source telling a gossip columnist that Stacy told an unnamed clergyman [something],” Brodsky told TODAY co-host Meredith Vieira." - "We have heard several stories,” Brodsky said. “First it was a barrel, then it’s a container. The shape keeps shifting. There never was a barrel, there never was a container. Thomas Morphey is the only supposed witness identified by name, and this man has multiple psychiatric hospitalizations, is a habitual alcoholic.” - “Either Drew Peterson is in huge trouble or he’s the unluckiest man in America,” Abrams said. “Four of the five people he was either engaged or married to are either missing, dead or say he stalked or threatened them.” - Brodsky said, “I don’t see any credible evidence that there’s even been a homicide or any crime committed.”

MORE VIEWS OF BLUE CONTAINER PICS HERE

ILL

"Rick Mims, Peterson's long-time friend, told a grand jury last week that he and Peterson bought three such containers for about $100 from AmeriCable, where they both worked part-time in 2003, according to a source close to the investigation. Peterson put two of the containers on a shelf in his garage, but after Stacy vanished, so did the containers, Mims testified. A state prosecutor and the grand jurors themselves questioned Mims for approximately 10 minutes about the containers, the source said, asking in particular about the items' handles. Mims turned over photographs of the containers, and ABC News obtained copies of those photos. The new pictures have reportedly prompted state investigators, local police and volunteer searchers to shift their attention from what was originally thought to be a blue barrel to a square blue container."

When I asked Drew about a blue barrel, when everybody was talking about that, he says, I don`t know what they`re talking about, a blue barrel. So again, I mean, it`s hearsay. The stories keep changing, and it`s crazy."
