SUE DOMAN, KATHLEEN SAVIO'S SISTER: "I had gotten a call at 1:30 in the morning from my sister. And she had said to me that my sister was dead. And the first thing I said to her, did he kill her? And she said she didn't know. We had gone to the house. We weren't allowed to go to the house that day. We went to the house the next day. We were allowed to go in the house. Larry, I don't know why this was not investigated. It was ruled an accidental drowning. The next day, everyone was in the house. Drew was in the house. We were in the house. I don't understand accidental drowning. You just don't drown in the bathtub, especially a small whirlpool. You just don't do that."

ILL

SUE DOMAN, KATHLEEN SAVIO'S SISTER: I don't understand this. Is it because he was a police officer? I don't understand thisI went in the house the next day. We actually -- my family and I had gone through the house. Her purse, her keys and everything was out, but nothing was touched. Nothing looked at anything. How could you go in a house and look at someone and say -- that's in a dry bathtub and say, oh, it's an accidental drowning? - KING: Did your sister express to you fear of her husband? - DOMAN: Yes, she did. Larry, she told me all the time, "He's going to kill me. It's going to look like an accident, but it wasn't. Take care of my kids." And she was scared. She told everybody. She had -- she was so afraid. But a very -- yet a very strong person. Very determined to fight him, but she couldn't fight him anymore.

ILL

"Steve Carcerano, who was Peterson's neighbor when he was married to Savio, said finding the body would be forever fused into his memory. "It's something you'd see in a movie; it was something I'll never forget," he said. Peterson has summoned his neighbor to the house, because Peterson said he hadn't heard from his estranged wife in nearly two days, Davlantes reported. Peterson told Carcerano, who was a locksmith and was going to be at the house soon, to open up the house and see what was going on. "I went from the closet to the bathroom," Carcerano said. "It looked like there was a rubber exercise ball or something in the whirlpool. When I looked down, it was Kathy. She was naked -- she was dead -- hair over her face." Carcerano, who said Peterson was steps behind him when the body was discovered in the home that Savio and Peterson owned, described Peterson's reaction when he saw Savio's body. "He ran upstairs and upon seeing her, he just broke down and started screaming, 'Oh my God, oh my God! What am I gonna tell my kids?'" Carcerano said"

We went over there. The locksmith opened up the door and her best friend's husband went towards the garage to see if the car was there. Her best friend and I went up the stairs, she checked the bed area. The covers were kind of ruffled over. I went into the closet and then I proceed to go into the bathroom, I noticed an exercise ball or a balloon, and as I walked back towards the back of the bathroom, I found Kathy lying naked..."

Sue Doman: "When I had first gotten the call that she was dead, my first reaction was, Did he kill her?"

ILL

SUE DOMAN, KATHLEEN SAVIO'S SISTER: I always thought that there was something wrong. Something was wrong. When I had first gotten the call that she was dead, my first reaction was, Did he kill her? - GRETA VAN SUSTEREN (HOST): I'm going to read for you the transcript that we've obtained, that Mark Fuhrman and Corey obtained for us from the coroner, at page six. And this is where you're quoted as saying, when you were asked a question about, "Is there anything else you'd like to add, ma'am?" And you respond, "Yes, I just — it's very difficult for my family because of my sister telling us all the time — and I can figure everyone, everything — one, that she has seen that if she would die, it may look like an accident, but it wasn't. She just told me last week, and she was just terrified of him. He always threatened her. He had her in the basement one time. He did many, many things to her. He wished only for her to go away."

"Consistent with the 'staging' of an accident to conceal a homicide."

ILL

"I read the autopsy protocol," [Will County State's Atty. James Glasgow ] Glasgow said. "I read the inquest; I looked at the crime-scene photographs; and I looked at the photographs from the autopsy. And with 29 years of experience, there's no doubt in my mind it wasn't an accident. That was clear." Authorities suspect Savio may have been knocked unconscious elsewhere and then placed in the tub. In their petition, prosecutors wrote that the head wound "did not render her unconscious" and that "evidence is consistent with the 'staging' of an accident to conceal a homicide." - ""The abrasions that were seen on her left buttock and her elbow are not the type of injuries that would occur on a smooth surface as those in the tub area," Glasgow said."

STEVE CARCERANO, FOUND SAVIO DEAD IN BATHTUB: "At that point, I screamed for her best friend. Her best friend came in there. She started screaming, and that's when Drew came up the stairs immediately. Upon seeing Kathy, he started screaming, Oh, my God, oh, my God, what am I going to tell my kids? Very emotional at that time. he checked her pulse. Like I said, he started screaming. And I looked right into his eyes, Greta, and he was very emotional right away." - "The only blood that I noticed was at the bottom of the bathtub going into the drain that was dried. There was a little blood coming from the nose area. But as stated in some of these interviews, there's blood-soaked hair and all that kind of stuff, I did not notice any blood in her hair. Her hair was wet, but I did not notice any blood at all. So that — I don't know about that stuff that's been said about the blood-soaked hair because I did not notice that, and I was first on the scene."

When you see a dead body, it's not something you see every day. - ROBERTS: And what was Drew Peterson's reaction? - CARCERANO: He came -- after her best friend came in the bathroom, I yelled out her name a couple times. She started screaming. And that's when Drew came running up the stairs right into the bathroom. I'm looking at her.

WALTER LEE JAMES, JUROR AT SAVIO CORONER'S INQUEST: We were given evidence and photographs by the coroner at the time, and we were asked to review them and come to a conclusion as to the cause of death." - "We heard from a couple of the relatives. They came in prior to our reviewing the evidence. But they left the room, and then we were left to review the evidence at hand." - "we were only told to review the evidence at hand, and when we were through reviewing the evidence, come to a conclusion and then call the coroner in and tell him that we reached a conclusion." - "in reviewing the evidence at hand, we did decide that it was an accident due to the fact that we were laypeople and were not medical examiners or anything like that. So with the evidence that we had, we determined it wasn't natural, of course, and we — also being laypeople, we could not decide whether it was a homicide"

WALTER LEE JAMES, JUROR AT SAVIO CORONER'S INQUEST: "at the time, we were given three options to either come to a decision as to whether it was natural, homicide or accidental. We did not have at the time the option of determining "undetermined" status." - "there was a police officer on the panel, and he indicated at the time he knew or knew of Peterson. And he indicated to the panel that he thought that Peterson was a good policeman. He was charitable and helped his neighbors, and so on and so forth. So I think that — I think that might have influenced some of the panel members, but I don't know that for sure." - "I was kind of apprehensive with one photograph showing her face down in an empty tub. And there was a lot of blood remaining in the tub, and I just — I didn't — myself did not consider — it was inconsistent with drowning. I feel that the blood that was in the tub should have probably dissipated into the water and drained out with the water. But like I said, I'm not an expert forensic person, so as a layperson, that's just how I felt."

Peterson said Kathleen's best friend was upset and wanted to check on Kathleen that night so Drew said "we" called the locksmith

ILL

MATT LAUER: Another reason there's so much attention being paid to you, Mr. Peterson, is because of the circumstances surrounding the death of your third wife, Kathy Savio. She drowned in her bathtub, according to the report at the time, an accidental drowning back in 2004. However, at the time there was no water in the bathtub. Her hair was matted with blood and apparently there was a one-inch gash on the back of her head. Now state officials are saying that it looks like an accident staged to cover a murder. What was your impression at the time she died? Did you think it was an accident? - Mr. PETERSON: "I was one of the first people there. And I was actually the watch commander of our town at the time that it happened. And I went ahead and met with her best friend because I haven't seen her for a couple of days, which was very unlike her, to not be seen or heard from. So I was planning the next day to go into her home, you know, with her neighbor, and see if she was OK, but her neighbor was upset and her best friend was upset, same person. And she wanted to go in that night. So we called the locksmith, went into the house. I didn't go in the house. I waited outside. Her friend..."

MATT LAUER: Why didn't you go in the house? Mr. PETERSON: Kathy was always accusing me of things like she didn't want me in the house ever because she was afraid I was going to steal something. LAUER: But you're the police officer... Mr. PETERSON: Right. LAUER: ...the watch commander. Mr. PETERSON: Right, exactly. LAUER: And it's your job to investigate crimes if they've committed. Mr. PETERSON: That was Kathy. That was Kathy. LAUER: You just wouldn't go in the house. Mr. PETERSON: So when I heard screaming, I went inside and there she was in the bathtub. LAUER: What did you see? And did it look like an accidental drowning to you at that time? Mr. PETERSON: I felt the p--I didn't know if she was dead or live, so I felt her pulse and, you know, being a policeman, I basically didn't want to touch anything or disturb anything.

"Carcerano said he doesn’t know what happened to Savio.

Carcerano said he’s been called to appear before a grand jury next week. Carcerano, who has talked to Peterson regularly since Stacy disappeared, also defended his friend amid a swirl of reports that he was psychologically and physically abusive to at least three of the women to whom he’s been married."

DR. MICHAEL BADEN, FORENSIC PATHOLOGIST: Yes. Yes, speaking to Kathleen's father, who was next to me, and the rest of the family and going over what their concerns were and what they wanted to learn from the autopsy and how I was going to proceed. DR. MICHAEL BADEN: "Well, what I had learned was that the family had certain concerns because the way that Kathleen was in the bathtub and that she hadn't been heard from for some 36 hours before she — before the body was discovered, that her habit was to take off her jewelry and put her in her up before she took a bath, which wasn't done that time. So they had certain concerns that there were suspicious things in that bathtub."

They do about 500 autopsies a year in that room, so it's not a small operation. And when the autopsy was done two days ago, about 13 X-rays were taken, which I was able to review. They have an X-ray view box. They had the X-rays. No fractures. And when I did the examination, there were no fractures on the body." "DR.

"Henry Savio told Fox News he always thought his daughter's death was a homicide. "I never believed anything else that happened to her," Henry Savio said. "It makes me a lot more happier that I found out something that I should have found out years back." Savio's niece Melissa Doman said her family pushed for a third autopsy because investigators have refused to divulge how her aunt died. She said Baden donated his services."

Carcerano's wife Margie said Drew and Kathleen were awesome parents

ILL

"Despite the cloud of suspicion, Peterson still has his supporters. A former neighbor, Margie Carcerano, said the family liked to rollerblade, go camping and attend their kids' sporting events. "They were both awesome parents," she said of Peterson and Savio. "What I see of him as a father, he is always there. He is always at every activity." Margie's husband Steve Carcerano—who found Savio's body—says simply, "I believe my friend. He said she left him for someone else, and I have no reason to think otherwise."

"Steve Carcerano, who lived two doors from Peterson and Savio, called the couple "great neighbors." He said Peterson was always quick to lend a tool or help unclog pipes. " - "Carcerano, who would discover Savio's body in the tub, said the abuse may have gone both ways. Twice after their separation, he saw Savio lash out at Peterson and Peterson respond with restraint, Carcerano said. Once, Carcerano said, he helped Peterson move out of the home he shared with Savio. She became angry and hit Peterson in the face with an extension cord, then spit on him, he said. "He laughed it off and said, 'You see what she's doing?'"

Kathleen laid to rest today "Maybe now justice will be served,'' her stepmother, Marcia Savio, said Friday.

ILL

"Henry Savio dropped a red rose on his daughter's white casket during an emotional funeral service this week as Kathleen Savio was returned to her grave. Other family members and friends somberly followed suit, adding roses wreathed with baby's breath to the new casket that was reinterred Monday [11/19/2007] at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Hillside. The private service attended by about 30 relatives and close friends came six days after Savio's body was exhumed as part of a new investigation into her mysterious 2004 death. Savio's relatives hope the exhumation will allow authorities to prove what family members have long suspected — that she was murdered — and to build a case against her killer." - "It's heartbreaking. I hope to God no one in their lifetime ever has to see this happen to anybody," Marcia Savio said"

Carcerano testified before the Grand Jury on both Stacy and Kathleen cases

ILL

"A neighbor of the Petersons, Steve Carcerano, also testified Wednesday. Carcerano claims to be the first to have found the body of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio. Savio drowned in a bathtub in March 2004 and was discovered after ex-husband Drew Peterson attempted to return their two sons from a weekend visitation. The death was first ruled an accident, but the disappearance of Stacy Peterson prompted police to reopen the case. Savio's body since has been exhumed from its grave and a pair of autopsies were performed on it. Carcerano said he was asked questions about both Savio and Stacy Peterson."

I said, If you'd like to share it with me, I'm here to hear it, I said, but there's no pressure. You don't have to feel like you have to share anything you're not comfortable with. So if you are — if you are comfortable, please share it. And we talked about various other things, and then she blurted out the reason." NEIL SCHORI: "I believed, unfortunately, that it was exactly what I thought, and I believed that it was related to the death of his wife. But I clarified, and I said, He did what? And she said, He killed Kathleen. And I was really blown away. I was reeling inside." NEIL SCHORI: "I asked for more specific things. She gave me details that I really can't share. But I just got her talking about it and asked her what — this is a crazy amount of information. Again, I asked her, What exactly can I do with this? Why did you tell me? I asked her if she had ever told anyone else. She said at the time [August 2007], she had never told another person."

And this was the night before Kathleen is found in the bathtub. And she can't find him in the house, and she starts calling incessantly, numerous times, to try to get a hold of him. He never answers.

And of course, we know Kathleen Savio died March 1 [2004]. And in that — in those documents — in that testimony and in those documents, it states that, Well, we don't believe that those phone records will give us any other outcome. Well, I started doing some research. Well, first, we know Drew Peterson and Stacy had Nextel. They keep those records for five years, luckily. But I cannot find anything at the county courthouse.

The witness, "Yes, those take quite a while to get. So yes, we've got phone records coming from her phone, his phone, Steve's phone and the rest of it. So yes, we still have to verify that."

Dr. Makary explains Kathleen had air in her lungs which indicates a struggle when she drowned in the bathtub

ILL

DR. MARTY MAKARY, PHYSICIAN: "But what we do know is that there was clearly air in the lungs. And any time there`s air in the lungs and a drowning, that means that the epiglottis has spasmed. There was a struggle. And water was not able to get through that valve. So that is a very important finding that we know about." - PAT LALAMA (HOST): I just want to go back to Dr. Marty Makary. You said something really that caught all of us, and that was that there was air in the lungs. Now what could that signify, a struggle or that she was in the water, then out of the water, then back in the water? Tell us lay folk. - MAKARY: "Well, that`s a good point you raise here. When there is a struggle, when there is wrestling, when there is a gasping for air, a true struggle, then the epiglottis will spasm, and that acts as a valve and air will not enter the lungs. That is why bodies float when somebody dies. And that indicates that there was not a sudden heart attack or a stroke or a bruise or a fall which led to the drowning"

I actually went over there yesterday and took a look at the garage and saw the bullet hole in the ceiling. I think the story that we heard was that Cassandra said that Stacy told her that Drew shot the gun off, and before shooting the gun off, he asked her to go downstairs and get him a can of beer in the garage, and then the gun went off.

But this is an individual that you have to understand, he is getting potshots taken from a fiance from 25 years ago. She is saying things that aren`t true. Other people are saying things that are untrue. You`ve got the trucker coming out that that was false. You have got Mark Fuhrman saying there is a Krispy Kreme surveillance tape.

This is a 53-year-old man, Stacy is 23. To him he might feel that she`s getting all dolled up and sexed up. But as 23-year-olds today, you look at how they dress. They might just think that they look nice. So there`s a big difference in age here, which you know, people are taking that to the extreme. But again, that might be how he portrayed her going to see him. I do know on one occasion he did tell me that she drove a motorcycle with her bikini top to see him. Now that`s not appropriate."

We have to take ourselves back to February 29, 2004, that Sunday night into the early morning hours of March 1st, that was a Monday. Now Kathleen Savio was found Monday night at 11:17 p.m. almost midnight.

Now I've got sources that later in the week we found out she woke up in the middle of the night and there were numerous times she tried to find Drew in the house and she couldn't find him.

He also had a bag in his hand that he emptied that was woman's clothes and he looks at her and he starts telling her, explaining to her in several hours the police are going to be here and they are going to ask a lot of questions and I'm going to tell you what to say. It will be a perfect crime." - "We know several things about her [Kathleen], she didn't wear jewelry in the bathtub, she didn't wear it in the shower and she didn't wear it swimming because she felt she had a reaction on her skin when it was wet.

It sounds funny, but it`s true. And she was hitting him with an electrical cord, an extension cord. And then, you know, she slapped him in the face right in front of me and the other neighbor. And when I said, Kathy, why are you doing that? And Drew said, Did you see that? Did you see that? And then she spit in his face. And you know, he was very calm and just said, Did you see that? And that was it, and we kept going about the business and getting the stuff out. That was the one altercation. The other one..."

Carcerano recalls incident when he said Kathleen lunged at Stacy with her fist.

ILL

STEVE CARCERANO, DREW PETERSON'S NEIGHBOR: "The other incident, I was in my driveway in our family car. I was waiting for my wife and kids to come out. We were going to a family function. And I noticed Drew and Stacy pulled up in the driveway, and they were dropping off the kids. And I saw Kathy come running out of the front door of the house, and she lunged through the passenger window with her right fist. And that`s where Stacy was sitting. And at that (INAUDIBLE) I jumped out of my truck, went towards them. Kathy ran back in the house, and Drew said, Did you see that? I said, yes, what`s going on? And he called the police. And at that time, the garage door opened up. Kathy came running out of the garage again. Drew`s back was towards the house. And she got in the truck and she tried to back down the driveway with Stacy and the kids in the car. And..."

Carcerano continues story telling how Drew got Kathleen out of the truck and held her on the ground as she was screaming

ILL

STEVE CARCERANO, DREW PETERSON'S NEIGHBOR: "And at that point, Drew took her out of the vehicle, placed her down into the grass and then put her -- put his knee on her and then lifted her arm up behind her back and cocked her wrist back. And it was subduing her. And she was yelling and screaming, Steve, get him off me. Steve, get him off me. And again, he was not, you know, using excessive force. He was keeping her subdued..." - "like a police officer would. (INAUDIBLE) maybe I would have jumped in, but I want everybody to know that, you know, he was not beating her up or anything, which are some of the stories out there that`s ludicrous. And then my wife came over there. And Kathy was yelling (INAUDIBLE) to go inside (INAUDIBLE) her friend, which was in the house." - "It was a male. And I told my wife, as well as Drew said, Don`t go in there, because then it would have really gotten crazy, so..."

Drew's sticking to his story that Stacy left him for another man

ILL

STEVE CARCERANO, DREW PETERSON'S NEIGHBOR: "She [Stacy] has not told me about any specific man. He`s still sticking to his story that she was leaving him for somebody else. And you know, there`s -- he was at my house about a week-and-a-half ago and he said that to me and my wife. He says, you know, I sure hope that she would just show her face so that we can get done with this circus -- the media circus. And again, he loves her very much. Does he want her back? She would have some explaining to do, but he does love her very much."

Carcerano says older kids watched TV w/Stacy's sisters talking about abuse to Stacy and they denied seeing that.

ILL

STEVE CARCERANO, DREW PETERSON'S NEIGHBOR: "Well, I`ve been in his house, like I said, and the 2- and 4-year-old, they don`t really say much about Stacy, they`re just running around playing. The two older ones, 13 and 14, Chris and Tommy, they were -- about two weeks ago I was at his house and we were watching the -- I can`t remember what program it was, but it had Stacy`s two sisters on there and they were talking about two different times, one that he supposedly pushed her down the stairs and another one he pushed her against the wall. Both kids jumped off the couch and said, dad, that`s not true, we`ve never seen that happen. And he said, kids I just can`t win. So that type of stuff gets him mad because they are false accusations as far as he is concerned. And the kids were right there, I have seen the 13- and 14-year- old say that right in front of me, so."

Greta: On The Record December 19, 2007 Steve Carcerano

Carcerano: Re: Thomas Brownlee "It's totally false again about him [Drew] breaking this person's thumb"

ILL

STEVE CARCERANO, FRIEND OF DREW PETERSON: "As you could see, the 19 phone calls — I think you have a copy of it, I faxed it to you today — are not abusive type of calls that I think the public has the impression of. These are minor calls due to visitation, et cetera. And I just think that he — the public is thinking that they're much more than what they actually are." - GRETA VAN SUSTEREN (HOST): Do you — has anyone — have you heard anything about whether or not the two teenage sons, who were home on the 28th, the 13- year-old and 14-year-old — whether they're going to be subpoenaed from the grand jury? Have you heard anything about that? - CARCERANO: "I actually talked to Drew about that, and I believe they already talked to a state mediator towards the beginning of the investigation. I believe the older one talked for about two-and-a-half hours, and the 13-year-old talked for about 35 minutes. But being subpoenaed to go in front of the grand jury, I don't believe that's going to happen."

Hmmm, Are investigaters actually getting the 2004 phone records now?

ILL

"Investigators are zeroing in on the timeline before the death of Kathleen Savio, the third wife of former Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson. Their inquiry has led them to seek out nearly 4-year-old phone records that could raise doubt about Peterson's alibi regarding where he was in the 48 hours before Savio was found dead in a bathtub in 2004." - "The calls are important because Stacy Peterson was her husband's alibi in the Savio death investigation. Two months later, according to the coroner's inquest transcript, a police officer testified about checking Drew Peterson's alibi, saying, "The only thing we're waiting for now is some phone records to find out if certain phone calls were made when they said they were made." But court employees say there's no record that the phone records were ever obtained by police."

Kathleen Savio's nephew, Michael Lisak tells Kathleen's side of the story on the video tape incident

Nancy Grace Show December 25, 2007 Michael Lisak said his Aunt showed himself and his mother the video taping that Stacy filmed from that day (May 26, 2002)

Apparently Drew brought Stacy with him this day to return the kids to Kathleen and Stacy was video taping from the car.

ILL

MIKE BROOKS, FORMER D.C. POLICE, CNN LAW ENFORCEMENT ANALYST: Now, there was an incident, was there not, where Kathleen and Stacy were both in the car together with Drew, can you tell us about that? - MICHAEL LISAK, KATHLEEN SAVIO`S NEPHEW: "Well, this happened probably a year before my aunt was found dead. What happened was I think they were still going through the divorce, and Drew came by my aunt`s house to either pick up the kids or drop them off. I don`t remember what the story was. But either way he came over to the house and went into the house to talk to my aunt and he let it be known that Stacy was in the car waiting. And my aunt was a very opinionated person." - "Drew from what I remember him being all the time, he was a very cocky person, he wasn`t shy of saying what he wanted to say, that`s just his attitude. He didn`t care. And he basically told her some way or other that she was in the car and my aunt totally was not for the kids being around her at that time. And, you know, she was a very opinionated person like I said so she went outside to tell her, I don`t want you around my kids, get out of here. And while she went outside Stacy was in the car with a video camera already rolling."

Nancy Grace Show December 25, 2007 Michael Lisak said his Aunt showed himself and his mother the video taping that Stacy filmed from that day (May 26, 2002)

Kathleen was yelling at Stacy about being there, Drew tackled Kathleen while Stacy continued to video tape the incident.

ILL

MICHAEL LISAK, KATHLEEN SAVIO`S NEPHEW: "A camcorder in the car, basically pointed at my aunt`s door, she came outside and she said what she had to say and I`m sure some words were exchanged and basically this was a setup, this was a setup to see how she would react and Drew being the cop that he is, basically as soon as she went outside and started running after Stacy. And I saw the video firsthand. My aunt showed me and my mom this. Drew tackled my Aunt Kathleen and pinned her to the ground, put a knee to the back of her head." - "Yeah, it`s sick. It`s sick. I mean she`s screaming please help me, somebody help me, somebody help me, and Stacy gets out of the car and continues to videotape this while Drew was on the cell phone calling the police department that she assaulted Stacy." - "I mean, that`s really what happened. From what I saw on the video firsthand, my aunt never touched Stacy. I mean, she went at her and said some words that I think she had a right to."
