"Sources also say the man who allegedly assisted Drew tried to kill himself just days after he helped bring the barrel downstairs so it could be loaded into Drew's sport-utility vehicle. Sources say the man is a relative, but police will not confirm that. Stacy's friend and neighbor, Sharon Bychowski, says Drew did visit someone in the hospital a few days after Stacy disappeared. "He needed me to watch the kids if I could for about an hour and a half; he was going to go visit a relative that had tried to commit suicide," Bychowski said. Bychowski says she asked Drew about that relative's wellbeing when he returned from the hospital later. "I did ask him, I said, 'how is your relative,' and he said, 'What? Oh, he's OK, he just had some issues, lost his family, lost his job, you know,'" Bychowski said. She also says police asked her about a barrel immediately after Stacy disappeared."

But Bychowski doesn't buy that, even though an old friend of Stacy's has admitted trading flirty e-mails with her in the weeks before she disappeared. The man, Scott Rossetto, a registered nurse, told the media he hadn't talked to Stacy in years when she called him out of the blue recently, and they resumed their friendship. He denied they had a romantic relationship." - "She thought he might be able to help her with her career," said Bychowski of Stacy, who was taking nursing classes. "It's not possible" she was having an affair, Bychowski added. "That girl did not have five minutes to herself. [Drew Peterson] was always following her.""

Sharon got a special permit from the city to put up some big party tents in the cul-de-sac for a prayer vigil this afternoon. But Drew Peterson seems bent on getting in the way. At some point yesterday afternoon, someone sympathetic to Drew, put a few orange construction cones out in front of his house on the street, so no one could park there. This morning, Drew’s brother, Paul informed us of the plan: to pull a big truck up in front of his house to block the view from the media–and the street in the process. Earlier this morning, his brother, Paul put orange cones on the street… Undaunted, an enraged Sharon told me she called the cops. Then, had friends hustle 4 cars into the “saved” spots. It was a frenetic scene there for a few minutes! I told Sharon this was like the Hatfields and McCoys. Her reply: “No, this is a man who murdered his wife!” All this drama, and the vigil is still hours away."

Greta: On The Record December 14, 2007 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.

Fast forward to this morning: she awoke to find 50 photos taken at a graveyard (all 5 by 7s) scattered up and down her driveway and on her yard. She says there was a Christmas stocking attached to her mailbox, and inside her mailbox, a 3 page “letter”, which included a copy of a National Inquirer article on the Peterson case, a map of a cemetary in Lynwood, IL (which is where the Inquirer speculated that Stacy’s body has been dumped), and a rambling letter that among other things, told Sharon that “this is where you can find her."

Dozens of 5x7 pictures of a cemetery." - BYCHOWSKI: "I think anytime you find cemetary pictures with markers on them, evidence markers on them, it's creepy." - "In addition to the photos, there was a Christmas stocking hanging from her mailbox and inside a three page letter with a copy of the National Enquirer, a map of the cemetery in question and a note." - BYCHOWSKI: "It said Merry Christmas to all, to her friends, this is where to find Stacy." "The photos and letter were turned over to the State Police. The evidence directed them to a small church cemetery in Indian Creek Park. Detectives went there today and found a fresh grave site that had almonds thrown on top of it. They also found binders and a typed diatribe where according to the cemetery caretaker the writer said God told them Stacy's body was here a source tells me. Investigators don't think this lead holds much promise. Peterson's attorney said his client has nothing to do with it and says this whole thing is probably the work of some lunatic. State police did interview another neighbor who also got a similar letter but they left without commenting and that neighbor did not answer when we knocked." - More Screen Captures HERE

[03/02/2008]" - "They say the winter weather has made it next to impossible for police and volunteers to resume the search. So they are waiting for a break in the snow, and for temperatures to rise, so that hopefully dive teams can go into ponds and areas that have not been searched yet. Peterson's neighbors held a news conference to promote an upcoming fundraiser on Sunday and to say that the investigation is still moving ahead. "As soon as we can get where the snow goes away, and we can get to water searching, we have the water team that's more than willing to come back as soon as we can, and as soon as the weather breaks for us," said Sharon Bychowski, Stacy Peterson's friend. "I talked to Illinois State Police two to three times a week and never get the feeling that it stalled. If anything, I always am hopeful, with the understanding that this case is still going full force ahead," said Pamela Bosco, family spokesperson."

We are looking of course for these to be possibly donated, not looking to spend search $ funds for this. Thinking these could come from multiple printers willing to donate them....they'll add up. All signs made for Stacy Peterson to date have been donated, thanks again to Fed-ex Kinkos in Bolingbrook.

The flyers face his house and he says only he and his family can see them." - SHARON BYCHOWSKI: "They're intended for everyone of the walkers who read my meter, they're intended for anybody who's in my back yard.

I have them all over my house." - WGNTV: "But Peterson says the harrasement has esculated to such a level that his neighbor has even asked people to boycott a neighborhood bar he visits. That's something she denies and said it's ridiculous to think his children are feeling harassed by the flyers." - SHARON BYCHOWSKI: "They're not sad by it.

ILL

03/17/2008 (Nancy Grace Show) "Judge Orders all but Drew Peterson`s Guns Returned" NANCY GRACE: You know, it seems, according to you and your client, Drew Peterson, that everybody is in a big conspiracy to irritate and hurt Drew Peterson. You say the attorney general won`t let him have his gun license. The police, they keep coming out on these domestic calls. Now there are anonymous death threats. The police won`t follow up. You even claim that his neighbor is stalking him. And in fact, you went to the effort of sending me U.S. code statute 22:61.A as a grounds to prosecute her. How does that apply to his neighbor, may I ask? - JOEL BRODSKY: If you look at the last paragraph, it says whoever uses the mail, any interactive computer service or any facility of interstate or foreign commerce to engage in a course of conduct that causes substantial emotional distress to that person... - NANCY GRACE: And how is the neighbor doing that via computer, may I ask? - JOEL BRODSKY: Well, we have people that kind of track the postings on this Web site that they have, and they`ve actually threatened... - NANCY GRACE: Who is "they"? - JOEL BRODSKY: Well, people who post on the site have threatened to poison Drew`s food. They`ve threatened to -- they track his whereabouts. They`ve threatened to... - NANCY GRACE: And you can prove the neighbor is one of these people you`re referring to? - JOEL BRODSKY: Yes. Absolutely. Roy Taylor (ph), her son, is the one that started one of the worst threats that we went through, where they -- the majority of these threats and... - NANCY GRACE: I assume you`re referring to Sharon Bychowski? - JOEL BRODSKY: Sharon`s son, Roy. That`s correct.

Drew, I leave that to the Illinois State Police. This is my concern. Let`s bring home Stacy Peterson. - NANCY GRACE: Miss Bychowski, how do you respond to allegations that you are stalking Drew Peterson? - SHARON BYCHOWSKI: You know, if you can read my sign, it says nothing about Drew Peterson. Actually, to my point before, I leave all that up to the state police. I only care about my good friend, who`s been missing since October. And I just want to bring her home.

"They're keeping track of where he goes, what he does and who he sees," said Joel Brodsky, Peterson's attorney. "They're also in the course of putting up [Find Stacy Peterson] signs along where he drives. . . . Then you put on top of that their own statements [that they] do these things to make his life miserable, that is a course of conduct designed to cause Drew substantial emotional distress." Brodsky handed over his information to the FBI. "We will review it in consultation with the U.S. attorney's office and determine if additional investigation is warranted," FBI spokesman Ross Rice said."

BRODSKY: "His client has been the target of ridicule and threats on blogs and online forums"

ILL

03/18/2008 "Drew Peterson's lawyer says Bolingbrook neighbors harassing ex-cop" "Late last month, Bychowski put up signs asking "Where is Stacy?" in her house windows, as well as a 3-by-4-foot sign outside her home. She said four of her neighbors in their cul-de-sac plan to rotate the large sign in their yards. "We're hoping for the hundreds of people who drive through the court every week, [someone] will have the courage to call the tip line," Bychowski said. Brodsky said Peterson is being harassed. His client has been the target of ridicule and threats on blogs and online forums. At times when the news media attention is especially intense, Peterson gets as many as several death threats a week, Brodsky said. "It's a mob mentality that has run away, but there are laws that I assume will be enforced," Brodsky said. "The people who are responsible are not only the posters but the people who run the Web site and allow these postings to take place."

His next-door neighbor, Sharon Bychowski told NBC5 she tried to file an order of protection against him, but it was refused by police because it did not meet the criteria." - "Bychowski said her garage door opener was in Stacy Peterson's car and that, as Drew Peterson was checking different openers on Tuesday, he opened her garage. She said when she demanded the opener back, he refused. Bychowski said she now plans to install security cameras in her home."

"I fear for my life," said Sharon Bychowski, the best friend and next-door neighbor of missing mom Stacy Peterson." - "In the event that anything happens to me, I want the public to know I fear for my life," Bychowski said. "I feel closer to Stacy and Kathleen than ever." Bychowski's recent trepidation was induced by Peterson's newfound and brief ability to open and close her garage door at will." -"Peterson reclaimed his two cars from the state police Tuesday morning. Inside the cars he found three garage door openers. One was programmed to open Bychowski's garage. Drew said he was unaware of this until he hit the button and Bychowski's garage opened. Bychowski said she gave Stacy the opener so she could store items there for a garage sale. She says she told the state police of the opener and that she believed it was in Peterson's home. Somehow, they failed to find it. "They said they searched the car," she said. "They looked in the car. It was not in there. They looked in the house, it was not in there."

The matter was recorded in a police report, the second since Friday, when Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, said [Roy] Taylor was harassing and threatening Peterson via the Internet. Police spoke to Bychowski and Taylor, but took no action. Taylor denies Brodsky's allegations. Taylor said he reprogrammed his mother's garage door opener Tuesday to keep Peterson from fiddling with it, but Bychowski said she wanted a restraining order against Peterson. "Then I'll get one on her and Roy," said Peterson, who also spoke of his wish to leave the bad blood in his subdivision behind, if only he could."

Brodsky accused Taylor of "drawing a salary" for his work as a volunteer "search coordinator." He said he was told the money was coming out of funds raised to subsidize the searches. Taylor denied that he has been paid to spearhead the search effort and claimed he has been shelling out his own cash for the cause. "I'm insulted by his comments," he said.
