He gave him the suitcase and trumpet case. That night, Mims was surprised to see Thomas arrive at the Peterson home with his principal, who lives just a few doors away from Drew's house.. Thomas, Mims learned was actually staying with the principal's family- not with Steve. Mims got a bad feeling."

Video Taped Testimony		 ILL "Even though the evidence against him seems to be mounting, Drew Peterson rejects the idea that he'll be arrested in connection with the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy, and the death of his third wife. "It's hard to imagine you would be [arrested] if you haven't done anything wrong," the former Bolingbrook, Ill., police sergeant told NEWSWEEK in an exclusive interview Thursday." - ""I wish something would happen one way or the other," he said. "Let's get this going. Either get me or don't get me." - "He may soon get his wish—and he seems prepared for the worst, despite his insistence on his innocence. That's why he has arranged for his four youngest children to be taken in by a family member, whom he did not identify, and has set aside money for their care if daddy is taken away in handcuffs. "My children will be provided for," he said." "Peterson also revealed that his son from his first marriage, Stephen, 28, was called before the grand jury on Thursday [11/29/07 ?]. Peterson declined to comment about the specifics of his family members' testimony."

This transcript was posted on the Internet by the poster known as "Snicker" who watches Greta's OTR shows and generously transcribes them for many in the forum communities. Thank you Snicker !		 Stacy told Sharon Bychowski in August 2007 about garage gun incident
Steve Peterson became an Oak Brook cop in 2004, was he living in Drew's house when Kathleen was murdered?		 ILL Greta's "On The Record" Guest: Sharon Bychowski "Who shot the gun?"
SHARON BYCHOWSKI: SP told me herself in the beginning of August about the shooting incident. We were cleaning out the garage and she showed me the bullet hole. She said that DP’s gun misfired. She was very angry with him and she told him that he could have hurt the children or her. I was in the garage when she pointed it out to me. She told me it was an accidental discharge and she was angry that it was very dangerous and he handled it inappropriately. The neighborhood is pretty much back to normal, but they are still doing interviews about the gun incident and the grand jury testimony.
SHARON BYCHOWSKI: Steve [Peterson] used to live in the home with DP and Sp when I first moved here. He was a student at the time and going to school for police studies. He and his girlfriend [Jennifer?] broke up when he cheated on her. - MICHAEL BADEN: With the Scott Peterson case there was no COD, place of death, or time of death and there was a conviction. In the KS case we have more information. It is scary that DP is not liked and he could be convicted because people have strong feelings about him. The KS autopsy will eventually come out, but it still has to be presented to the GJ. - BG: The phone records are a lynch pin of this case – they will either put a hole in his alibi or corroborate his alibi.

Alex Morelli, Drew's former partner in the BBPD says he wants nothing more to do with Peterson
Gary Marcolina, Drew's best man at his wedding refused to talk to the media
Drew's Uncle, James B. Carrol declined to comment
 ILL 01/15/2008 Craig Wall (www.myfoxchicago.com) reporting FOX NEWS EXCLUSIVE (VIDEO):
"Drew Peterson's Will With Kathleen Savio Subpoenaed by Grand Jury"

CRAIG WALL: "The date of the WILL, March 2, 1997, nearly seven years later almost to the day Kathleen Savio would be found dead in her bathtub. That simple handwritten statement would become her Last Will and Testament." - "It had been a bitter divorce. Her husband was in the middle of an adulteress affair with 19 year old Stacy Peterson and while Kathleen remembered to change the beneficiaries on her life insurance there was still that WILL." - "So despite the divorce, Drew Peterson got all her furniture, jewelry and the money from the sale of the home, about $288,000 thousand dollars. He was also named guardian of the children's million dollar trust fund." - "But take a close look at the will."
DREW PETERSON: "There really wasn't nothing sinister about it, just something simple if something happen if we were on vacation." - "I wrote up the WILL with Kathleen's instructions and we simply had a couple friends that were over to witness it and that was that simple."
CRAIG WALL: "Those friends turned out to be Peterson's former partners in the Bolingbrook Police Department and according to the Savio family, Drew's best man at their wedding. Alex Morelli, Drew's former partner says he wants nothing more to do with Drew and has nothing positive to say about him. He said Drew has turned his world upside down. Best man, Gary Marcolina took off when we tied to talk to him. The old Will names James B. Carrol, Drew’s Uncle, names him executor and gives him full control. He confirmed the account that he was going on vacation but declined to comment further. Once the Will was admitted into court, Carrol promptly fired Kathleen's attorney and discharged another lawyer appointed by the court to watch out for the best interest of the children. So Mr. Carrol had an obligation not to be looking out for Drew but to look out for Kathleen."
CRAIG WALL: "So who does it appear the executor was looking out for in this case?"

Judge Richard Schoenstedt set a March 25 hearing on the guns issue
 ILL 03/18/2008 "CARS, YES; GUNS, NO"
"Circuit Judge Richard Schoenstedt cleared the way for Peterson to pick up his GMC Denali and Pontiac Grand Prix from the state police, and he will be able to retrieve his computers and copies of their hard drives in the next 15 days. But Peterson still can't get his guns back because he was stripped of his firearm owner's identification card last month at the behest of State's Attorney James Glasgow. Peterson is appealing the state police decision to revoke his FOID card."
"Peterson won the right to reclaim his vehicles under the condition he not dispute the more than 250 photographs state police took of them as possible evidence if a criminal case is brought against him. But without a FOID card, Peterson, who on Monday [03/17/2008] appeared in court for the first time in connection with the matter, can no longer possess any of his eight handguns, three long guns."
"Brodsky asked Schoenstedt to turn the guns over to Peterson's son, Stephen Peterson. An Oak Brook police officer, Stephen Peterson holds a valid FOID card, Brodsky said. Since Stephen Peterson has not been a party to any of these proceedings, and may not be aware of the responsibilities and ramifications, Schoenstedt held off on deciding whether to give him the guns until a hearing next week [03/25/2008]."

The Village of Oak Brook Fire and Police Commission held a hearing Wednesday [04/09/2008] to decide whether to suspend him for 6 to 15 days for wearing the uniform while testifying. He also drove to the court date in his marked Oak Brook squad car.

The other two occasions, he said, he doubted he could get back in time, so he took his personal car and wore civilian clothes. Stephen Peterson also testified he assumed his superiors knew where he was going and, since no one told him he could not take his squad car or wear his uniform, he had their permission to do so."

Stephen Peterson		 Drew's son Steve Peterson Suspended 8 days from Oak Brook Police Department ILL 04/09/2008 (www.suntimes.com) "Peterson's cop son suspended 8 days"
"Drew Peterson's police officer son said he was never warned not to drive his squad car or wear his uniform when he was called to testify before the Will County grand jury investigating the disappearance of his father's fourth wife. Despite his explanation, the Oak Brook police and fire commission Wednesday night voted to suspend Stephen Peterson without pay for eight days from his duties as a patrolman in the western suburb."
"'His poor judgment in using this vehicle brought more negative attention to this department,'Sheahan [Oak Brook Police Chief Thomas Sheahan] told commissioners, who deliberated about 45 minutes before deciding to suspend Peterson. The three-year police veteran reacted stoically to the ruling, but his attorney said he may appeal. ''We're a little disappointed. We hoped he would be exonerated,'' said attorney Tamara Cummings."

"Prosecuting counsel Charles Hervas also stated Stephen Peterson allowed himself to be photographed by the media, bringing negative attention to the Oak Brook Police Department.” - "Sheahan [Oak Brook Police Chief Thomas Sheahan] maintained that it is Peterson’s special media attention that makes this a special case. “We had media ... outside the station, yelling ‘Steve! We want to talk to you!’ and it wasn’t even him. We were trying to protect this officer against the media.” Sheahan said the print, radio, and television press intensified around last Thanksgiving."
"Oak Brook Sgt. Casey Calvello, Peterson's superior on Dec. 13, also stated that he didn’t want any more attention to the department as a result of Peterson being filmed."
