Topix forum poster states Peterson suggested Kathleen's current boyfriend got her on drugs

ILL

www.topix.com forum thread titled, "Man believes wife safe" by, "friend of a friend", Evanston, IL, #18 Nov 1, 2007, QUOTE: 1) Drew and Stacey actually started dating when she was 16, 2) They got married in a park as soon as the divorce was final (I believe it was within the week), 3) She was preggo was they married, 4) She has a muddled history with her family, bad relations and falling in out favor with them and vice verse, 5) The night that wife #3 was murdered, he was calm as a cucumber. He didn't act surprised and was saying that her current boyfriend had gotten her on drugs or that drugs might be involved somehow, 6) Stacey was freaking out that night, locked jaw, couldn't breathe, crying, sympathizing for the two boys

Topix forum poster states "He [Drew] would show up at Kathy's (third wife) house for visitation and would bring a camcorder."

ILL

www.topix.com, "Bolingbrook sergeant's house searched in wife's disappearance" by, "Neighbor" Mokena, IL, #34 Thursday Nov 1 [11/01/2007] QUOTE: "I'm Drew Petersons former neighbor and was still living on Pheasant Chase during his third wifes death in 2004. The investigation of Kathy's death was very weak and was hard to believe she drown in a bathtub. If you knew the amount of times the police were summoned to the home during the divorce, you would convict Drew Peterson immediatley. He was very calm and methodical but knew which buttons to push to throw Kathy over the edge. He would show up at Kathy's (third wife) house for visitation and would bring a camcorder. Kathy hated him so much, she would give him a hard time. In the meantime, he was trying to build his case against her using the camcorder as evidence of her bad behavior. The police sided with him of course. It was unbelievable. When she was found dead, not many of us were surprised. The finger was pointed immediately at Drew. He also had the nerve to show up at her funeral. I met Stacy before Kathy died, she seemed nice, but don't know much about her other than casual chat. Drew is a very low key, unassuming individual. It's kind of hard to believe he's capable but he has the knowledge and background to pull something like this off. By the way, he isn't a "well to do" indivudual. He gained from the life insurance policy at Kathy's death, and since the divorce was not finalized when she passed, the house went to him. He sold it for $350,000 immediately. Him and Stacy refused to live in their old house, so they purchased another home 2 blocks away."

MIKE PUCCINELLI (WBBM TV): "I found him to be very authoritative. Initially we went up to the door with the cameras rolling and tried to get in and he told us to go to hell. He said you need to turn off those cameras so we went back up with the camera's off, we talked over and negotiated and eventually he let us inside but he took charge immediately and had us stand in line in front of the desk and it was almost like he was interviewing us. And one thing I found kind of odd Harry was that while we were in there it's obviously a very serious matter, a very grave day but after we had done some pre-functionary interviewing, he wasn't telling us much, he basically at one point made a joke because we asked him, you know because afterwards we were trying to get him to go on camera because at this point he said he wanted to protect his anonymity and he said something to the effect of, look the only way I'll go on camera is if I talk through my (#@!) and he used another word for rear end, like Jim Carrey, of course he was referring to the Jim Carrey gag and I have to say it was uncomfortable and we're sitting there and I can't believe he's saying it."

Drew MIA Since Friday

ILL

November 4th, 2007 9:30 PM Eastern, Stacy Peterson Update, by Jamie Colby "One volunteer that didn’t turn up is Stacy’s husband Drew, who took off on his motorcycle and hasn’t been seen since Friday. Do you find that strange? His friend Rick Mimms says Drew took off to “clear his head.” What he left behind — besides all the media now parked outside his house — are four kids. A neighbor told me by phone this weekend three of the kids are with Drew Peterson’s older son, who is a police officer in Oakbrook, Illinois. He and his wife are caring for the three youngest children. Two of them are Stacy’s … one is the son of wife #3 Kathleen Savio with Drew."

Stacy felt threatened Organizing volunteers

ILL

"Whether or not I think Drew had anything to do with the disappearance is irrelevant. What is important is that Stacy felt threatened, and recently told me if she were to disappear, it would not be the result of an accident,” Bychowski said." - "[Sharon] Bychowski spent the last two days organizing volunteers from the garage attached to their home, and over two days more than 75 volunteers fanned out to walk through wetlands, parks and along bodies of water seeking clues into Stacey’s disappearance and distributing hundreds of fliers."

"Bychowski said she knew Stacy and Drew Peterson for more than three years and Stacy “was a feisty person, quite a person” who regularly visited the Bychowski home. “Her two children, Lacy and Anthony, were always here and Stacy came over almost daily. Sometimes she would cook for us in our kitchen,” said Bychowski. Bychowski said she does not believe Drew Peterson’s story that Stacy called him Sunday night and told him she was leaving him for another man. “That whole story is a farce, a bunch of bologna,” she said." - "Bychowski, who said the four children living in the Peterson home now are being cared for by one of Drew Peterson’s adult sons living in North Aurora, said she no longer is in contact with Drew Peterson."

"Especially with you media and everything." The published report states that while Craig Stebic might think his heart is in the right place, his concern for the embattled Bolingbrook police sergeant has left his in-laws confused. "Craig has cut us off from the children. But he has a moment to say he empathizes with Drew Peterson?" said Melanie Greenberg, spokeswoman for Lisa Stebic's family. "I'm not usually speechless, but I was speechless for a moment after that," Greenberg said."

I think she was strangled with a rope in water, could have happened in a bathtub. I would suggest that police search the home where she lived. Would look at all water and drain pipes...if the home has a filter, get to it soon. She could be buried in a some sort of mine, however I do not know where the mine is. I think there is also a black journal that is buried in the backyard on someone's involved home, this journal could tell of some sort of torture that did happen or the husband/boyfriend was planning and might include details of other murders and a 16 year old girlfriend. The 16 year old girl might actually be the owner of this journal. And I hope I'm wrong about this."

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.

CHIEF RAYMOND MCGURY, BOLINGBROOK POLICE: "Well, initially, when Stacy was reported missing, my first inclination was to start the investigation immediately, but I wanted to consult with the family. And I called in Stacy's sister, Cassandra, as well as her father, Anthony, to meet with them on Monday morning [10/29/2007]. And they made it pretty clear to me that they would be more comfortable having an outside agency, such as the Illinois State Police, investigate this incident. And as I have stated, you know, before, in fact, to your producer, that was a tough pill for me to swallow, I'll be very honest with you. But it's the right thing to do." - "And I had the opportunity to come as the chief of police here in Bolingbrook back in August of 2005. But I want to preface by saying while that could be used as an excuse, I don't want to use that as an excuse, Greta, I'll be very honest with you.

I have my own opinion of what's happened, but I'm just — like you, I'm waiting for Stacy to be found. - VAN SUSTEREN: And what's your opinion? - MIMS: I hope that she just ran off. I really do. I keep praying that that's the case. That's why I came on the show tonight, was to make sure that the search doesn't continue just here in Bolingbrook but it continues nationwide. I just want to make sure that everybody knows out there that if Stacy is at a beach, even if you think she looks like Stacy, call us. Call the tip line. Let somebody know. It's worth investigating.

Accompanied by two lawyers, Drew Peterson spent about two hours Wednesday afternoon inside a Will County office building in downtown Joliet, then left hurriedly about 3:30 p.m. Peterson, 53, who was clean-shaven and dressed in a dark suit and tie, didn't respond to questions from reporters as he hustled out of the building with one attorney, then jumped into a waiting car driven by another lawyer. Lawyer: '... nothing to say' "This is an ongoing investigation," attorney Fred Morelli said as he left the building with Peterson. "We have nothing to say."

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."

"There are strong indications that it was a homicide"

ILL

"There are strong indications that it was a homicide," Glasgow said at a news conference about the death of Kathleen Savio, the former wife of Sgt. Drew Peterson. "That's why we're doing the exhumation, because there are tests that need to be done that weren't done during the first autopsy. Clearly, there are indications from the crime-scene photographs that are not consistent with an accident."

"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."

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.

You cannot have a forensic pathologist sitting on the stand, testifying in a homicide case who has not had an opportunity to examine the body. So, you do this even though it is highly unlikely that you will find anything of a definitive nature. You do it to rule out things and you do it strategically and as a matter of pretrial tactics. It must be done and I commend them for doing it."

Especially if the alternative to an "undetermined" manner of death is homicide, more investigation is needed, he said. "Where do you get all those bruises? How do you get a laceration to the scalp and how do you wind up drowning in your own bathtub when you're a 40-year-old person?" Wecht said.

ILL

GretaWire Blog, “Just in: Big Development in the Sgt Peterson / Stacy Peterson Story!!" "Comment by Margaret from Bolingbrook, November 13th, 2007 at 7:47 pm "Greta- When I was in high school we lived next door to the Petersons on Seminole Ln in Bolingbrook. At the time, Drew was a K-9 officer. Our dog, a shepherd and his dog used to run side by side along our back fences. This used to piss Drew off so bad, because it wore away the grass that he would beat his dog. It was not uncommon for my mother to be yelling at him from the back window to stop beating his dog. On one occasion his wife appeared in the front of the house crying and with a black eye. She had two teenage sons and they both were very quiet and kept to themselves. My father (also a cop) gave Drew permission to “watch” me and if he saw me on the streets or with my friends to send me home, which he did on only one occasion. He was then as you see him now on TV, Sunglasses, No smiling or reactions. Just stone cold. Subsequently, I went on to do my inernship with the Bolingbrook Police Dept. and became a Police Officer in Chicago. People knew this man was an abuser, but there is a Code when you are a cop to never tell on another cop. Police protect eachother. No one in my neighborhood, my parents included called the Police on Drew when he beat his wife or dog. Back then, you just kept quiet. Im sure that is why his wife’s death was called “accidental"

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? - DREW 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..."

ILL

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.

GretaWire Blog poster named Marcy thinks she seen Stacy at grocery store in Peoria on Monday 11/12/07

ILL

GretaWire Blog Comments subject: "More on Sgt. Peterson Resignation" "Comment by Marcy, November 14th, 2007 at 3:15 pm, "Is Stacy’s hair still a blonde color? I swear I saw a young woman down here in the 309 area code. [309 is Peoria, Illinois] She was at a local grocery store. She hauntingly looked like Stacy. Her hair was shoulder length. But it was completely medium dark brown. She was wearing a black coat. And all she did was stand there and stare at me. I did not do anything. I looked at her though. I think that she is very much alive!!!Look if I went to the police they would not believe me anyway!!! This happened on Monday night [Monday was November 12th].You should check with her psychiatrist. I am sure that she has been in contact with her Dr. I feel once they get the results from the second autopsy on his third wife and they find out she was murdered than Stacy will come out of hiding."

I also think she may have been murdered at a church and her body buried on the church's property. Would look for this church in Chicago, and see if she has any connections to a man in prison."

2nd Wife Speaks out "Peterson told her he could kill her and make it look like an accident"

IL

"For the last two weeks, Vicki Connolly has watched in disbelief and with conflicting emotions as controversy swirls around her ex-husband, Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson." - "But in the first interview granted by one of his ex-wives since Stacy's disappearance, Connolly, 48, said Thursday that during their marriage an increasingly controlling Peterson told her he could kill her and make it look like an accident. While she couldn't believe he would ever do it, something prompted her to confide in Bolingbrook police officers who she considered friends. "So they would know he said these things to me," she said. She said Peterson would hit her but not hard enough to go to the hospital, and not often enough for her to expect it. It made it worse, she said, that she never knew it was coming. "It was mind games; it was head games," she said."

"Chira said of the last time he saw her, about six weeks ago. Unlike Drew Peterson, he has participated in searches for her."

Stacy's sweetheart speaks out - "That boyfriend, Ralph Chira, talked about her Wednesday. He discussed his surprise when she started dating Drew Peterson, a man 30 years her senior, how Peterson proposed to Stacy two years before they married, and how Chira's experiences with Stacy don't jibe with Drew Peterson's statements on the "Today" show." - "A high school psychology teacher paired Chira with Stacy for a class assignment that involved her walking him around the school blindfolded. He bumped into a railing on a second-floor balcony. She grabbed his arm, nervous he would fall. "She was about to cry," said Chira, now 26 and the manager of a Meijer meat department. "She was so heartfelt with everything she does. She was just really concerned." The chance encounter spurred a three-year romance that included two proms, dinners out and the first serious romantic relationship for both." - "Chira said he saw Stacy frequently shopping at Meijer. He said he saw no outward signs of the depression or moodiness Drew Peterson spoke of on "Today."

Take care of the children,'" Doman said, recounting the conversation." - "[Sue] Doman also described another instance in which Drew allegedly grabbed Savio as she came down the stairs and held her by her throat at knife point. "And he threatened to kill her," Doman said. "And he didn't care if he died either. Doman is convinced that investigators examining her body will rule that Savio was murdered and was not the victim of an accidental death."

"Drew says he believes Stacy ran off with another man. Her friends and family tell another story. " - "He's not asked anybody if we know where she is.

He killed me.' She said it all the time," said Bychowski." - "Stacy's stepsister Kerry Simmons said, "As controlling as he was, for him to switch off and act like he doesn't care that she left with another man? That would never happen." Stacy disappeared the day before she was scheduled to meet with a divorce lawyer, friends said.
