Police Sergeant's Wife Goes Missing

Husband's History May Present Clues

chicagotribune.com - October 30, 2007

http://i23.tinypic.com/15f198k.gif » Officer's Wife Missing

BOLINGBROOK, Ill. -- State Police are searching for the wife of a southwest suburban Bolingbrook police sergeant.

"Because he's one of our officers, we thought it would be better to have an independent agency investigating," Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar said of the state's involvement in the disappearance of Stacey Peterson.

It was not clear how long Peterson, the 23-year-old wife of Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, has been missing. Illinois State Police Trooper Mark Dorencz at first declined to comment on the matter, but later said the state is handling the case as a missing persons investigation.

The Bolingbrook police department said Drew Peterson was not scheduled to work Monday. A message left for him at the department went unreturned.

According to an Illinois State Police news release -- which spelled her name Stacy Ann Peterson -- she was last heard from at 10 a.m. Sunday. She was supposed to help a friend do some painting, but never showed up.

Stacy Peterson is described as a white female, 5-feet 2-inches tall, about 100 pounds, with brown hair and eyes. She was last seen wearing a red jogging suit. She has a tattoo of a blue and yellow carnation on the small of her back and a scar across her stomach, the release said.

According to the release, Stacy Peterson frequents Joliet Junior College and her family reported her missing at 4 a.m. Monday.

Drew Peterson's previous wife, 40-year-old Kathleen Savio, was found dead in the dry bathtub of her Pheasant Chase home in March 2004. Drew Peterson and Savio were divorced and he was returning their two sons to their home after a weekend visit, but no one answered the locked door.

Peterson went to a neighbor's to call a locksmith. Once entry was gained, the neighbor went inside and found Savio's body in a waterless bathtub.

The investigation revealed Savio drowned. Her fingertips showed pruning from being submerged in water and her hair was wet when she was found. While there was no water in the bathtub, it may have drained out over time, as the plug was down, investigators speculated.

A coroner's jury ruled the death accidental. State Police investigated that case as well. No charges were filed.

According to one official, Savio was Drew Peterson's third wife, and Stacey Peterson is his fourth. — continued: »

I've been watching this - thanks for the updates Odette. :rose: Sheesh why didn't he just give her the divorce? :mad: So what if it would cost him 4 years of his pension. Just think, if they find her body and he's tried and convicted, he'll have no pension and no home except prison. Serves him right. I'm also glad LE is looking into his previous wife's death - her accidental drowning sounds really suspicious IMO.

Family, friends search woods for missing Bolingbrook mother

Missing woman, 23, likely dead, they say

chicagotribune.com - Emma Graves Fitzsimmons - November 4, 2007

Giving up hope that missing Bolingbrook mother Stacy Peterson is alive, her family and friends are now focused on finding information to help with the investigation into her disappearance.

Dozens of people combed a forest near her home for several hours on Saturday looking for any traces of the 23-year-old, who disappeared last Sunday. Their search through the wooded Knoch Knolls Park came up empty, but the group planned to return with more people on Sunday morning.

Peterson's sister, Cassandra Cales, said the family no longer believes she is alive. — continued

SUNDAY UPDATE: Search for Clues of Cop's Missing Wife Gets Bigger

wbbm780.com

BOLINGBROOK (WBBM) ― Family and friends of a missing woman from Bolingbrook launched a massive search effort this weekend.

Stacy Peterson, 23, has now been missing for a week. Her husband, Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, was the last one to see her this past Sunday.

Two new earches for Stacy Peterson were undertaken Saturday. Neighbors were conducting the first search at the Petersons' house, where Drew remains with the children.

Then, they searched the DuPage River Greenway.

Friends and family members of Stacy Peterson started another search this morning -- and they'll use any volunteers -- starting at 9 a.m. at 6 Pheasant Chase Court. — continued: »

Tales of missing, slain women stirring up fears

Investigators must make their disappearances a priority too

suntimes.com - MARY MITCHELL - November 4, 2007

The Authentic Diva called me in a panic. "You'd better be careful," she said with urgency. "I walk on the lakefront every day, and I'm going to get me some Mace."

"I'm not worried," I told her. "I've got Smoochie." Smoochie is a trash-barking, mixed-breed malamute who won't let strangers come near me.

But I understood my friend's anxiety after the string of stories we've seen lately about Chicago area women who have gone missing and later were found dead. — continued: »

Stacy called marriage 'somewhat abusive' in e-mail to family friend

suburbanchicagonews.com - Jennifer Golz - November 4, 2007

Stacy Peterson may have told friends and family she wanted a divorce from her husband, Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson.

But she wrote her own chilling message in e-mails to a friend, who shared them with The Sun.

"I have been arguing quite a bit with my husband," Stacy wrote in an e-mail to family friend Steve Cesare 10 days before she disappeared.

"As I mature with age I am finding that the relationship I am in is controlling, manipulative and somewhat abusive," she wrote in the Oct. 17 e-mail. "Tomorrow is our four-year anniversary and I'm not as excited as the years that have passed.

"If you could keep me in your prayers I could use some wisdom, protection and strength." — continued: »

A history of failed marriages

suburbanchicagonews.com - Jennifer Golz - November 4, 2007

Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson has a history of marrying quickly and jumping from marriage to marriage.

At least that's been the case with his three most recent wives.

Not much is know about Peterson's first wife, including her name and when they wed.

But by October 1982 that marriage must have dissolved, because that's when Peterson married his second wife, Victoria Rutkiewicz, Will County court records show. — continued: »

Searching for loved ones

Stebic family, national group offer support

suburbanchicagonews.com - Emily McFarlan - November 5, 2007

Families with missing loved ones are reaching out to the family of missing 23-year-old Bolingbrook woman Stacy Peterson. — continued

Excerpt: Past concerns surface
With word of Stacy Peterson's disappearance splashed across national media, the Bolingbrook Police Department has come under criticism on the Internet and cable news programs.

Cales and other members of Stacy Peterson's family have expressed their suspicions that Drew Peterson knows more about Stacy's disappearance than he is telling.

Many critics say the police department has failed to respond to allegations of his abusive behavior against his third wife, Kathleen Savio, who was found dead in a waterless bathtub in 2004.

Prosecutors have started re-examining Savio's case since Stacy Peterson's disappearance, and the department has paperwork from more than 15 different reports detailing alleged abusive behavior between Drew Peterson and Savio.

Bolingbrook police Chief Ray McGury plans to publicly discuss those reports later today.

BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) ― Ninety people came out to look for Stacy Peterson Sunday, and a search and rescue group from Houston is scheduled to meet with her family to take over their search efforts. Peterson's loved ones believe they are looking for her body.

As she and other friends plan the next search for 23-year-old Stacy Peterson, friend and neighbor Sharon Bychowski is haunted by what she says were many conversations about Peterson's desire to divorce her husband, Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson.

"She knew that his prior wife had died in the bathtub and in her words, 'if I disappear, it's not an accident…he killed me,'" Bychowski said.

She said that to Bychowski many times. — continued

I live in Bolingbrook not far from the Peterson's and although I did not know them it is the eeriest thing to go thru. Having something like this happening in your town is too freaky. All I can say is that it is so obvious that something is wrong with this man. Stacy's neighbor, Sharon Bychowski, told the media that Stacy feared her husband for almost all of their marriage and the last year was especially bad. She wanted out. Peterson's 3rd wife's order of protection stated that he literally attacked her and threatened to kill her. This guy is nuts and either the coroner was a complete moron or their was some kind of cover up. To me it's so clear that he did something to Stacy, I would like to know why they can't grill him and find out more. Maybe there is a lot going on we dont know about.
P.S. Odette, this site has by far given me the best info to date on this case. You are doing a wonderful job in keeping up with the news as it comes in. Your work is not being unappreciated.

Thank you Pak31 .. I appreciate it :rose:

Regarding your comment about the Coroner .. I have just been listening to Dr. Michael Baden talking to Greta van Susteren about Coroner's and what he thinks about the death of Drew Peterson's third wife .. interesting .. I hope you have a listen to it. Here's the link http://gretawire.foxnews.com/

Abuse, alcoholism and instability were key characteristics of the Cales children's household growing up.

It may explain why Stacy Peterson, 23, found what she thought to be stability and security in the arms of a man 30 years her senior, Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson.

Linda Cales, 54, last saw her stepdaughter five years ago, but has remained in contact with her throughout the years. Cales married Stacy's father, Anthony Cales, in the mid-90s and remained in the family and children's lives until their divorce in 2002. — continued

TY Odette for all your fine reporting on this case as soon as I heard about it I thought of Lisa Stebic, It's like a page out of that saga and Did Peterson take notes from Craig Stebic I live near Plainfield and Plainfield is only about 15 miles or so from Bolingbrook amazing Makes me worry Who will be Next?? I live in this area and have been keeping track of this case like Lisa Stebic case. I don't think Stacy will be coming home unforetunetly SO SAD as is Lisa Stebic case. MOO

Thank you oops for your thank you :)

The Lisa Stebic case is interesting too. I really must read more about the case. I read that Craig Stebic has made some comments about Stacy's case.

Like you oops, I too don't think that Stacy will be coming home .. very, very sad. :(

Excerpt: Craig Stebic Shows Empathy For Bolingbrook Husband

"I know what he's going through," said Stebic, an unemployed Plainfield pipefitter who has recently been criticized for offering little assistance in the search for his missing wife. "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.

Search Team Combs Forest For Stacy Peterson

Team Founder: 'Something Probably Bad Happened To Her'

cbs2chicago.com - Mike Puccinelli - Nov 6, 2007

ROMEOVILLE, Ill. (CBS) ― A national organization known for finding missing persons joined Tuesday in the search for Stacy Peterson, the 23-year-old Bolingbrook mother who has now been gone for nine days.

As CBS 2 West Suburban Bureau Chief Mike Puccinelli reports, Peterson disappeared just one day before she was supposed to meet her divorce attorney. She was married to Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, who was three decades her senior.

The non-profit group Texas Equusearch has set up headquarters at the house next to the Peterson, and has now launched a full-scale search for the mother of two. — continued

Excerpt: "We're here for one reason, again, and that's because Stacy's missing," Miller said. "Unfortunately, I think enough time has gone by that we still hold that little glimmer of hope, but we've worked 790 of these cases, and past experience lets us know that something probably bad happened to her."

As of 11 a.m., searchers were looking for Stacy on the Isle a la Cache Forest Preserve, located on an island in the Des Plaines River.

Drew Peterson has not shown up, and so far has not assisted in any of the searches. He said he last saw his wife Sunday morning, and claimed to have spoken to his wife Sunday night. He said she told him she was leaving him.

Searches for missing Bolingbrook woman come up empty

Nearly 50 volunteers aid private group in search for mother

chicagotribune.com - Matthew Walberg and Erika Slife - November 7, 2007

Scores of police and volunteers combed more than a dozen areas in search of a missing Bolingbrook woman without success Tuesday. — continued

Excerpt: Meanwhile, amid media speculation that Drew Peterson had left the area, his close friend Richard Mims said he did not believe that to be true. "I talked to Drew three or four times today," Mims said. "Drew's not in hiding—he's just hiding from the press."

Gutierrez said investigators last spoke with Peterson Thursday when they executed a search warrant at his home, taking guns, a computer, a cell phone and the couple's vehicles.

"We have talked to him, and like we said, he's been cooperative," Gutierrez said.

He said investigators went to the home Monday with papers for Peterson, but no one answered the door.

He would not explain why investigators visited the home nor describe the papers, saying only that they were part of the investigation. Asked whether police were concerned Drew Peterson might be unreachable, Gutierrez said, "He's not a suspect—this is still a missing persons case."

BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) ― Prosecutors say a new search warrant has been issued and executed for the home of a Bolingbrook police sergeant whose wife has disappeared.

As CBS 2's Mai Martinez reports, the Petersons neighbors said investigators arrived at the home at around 8 p.m. Tuesday night. They were escorted by Bolingbrook police. Neighbors also say that Stacy Peterson's husband, Drew Peterson, was not home at the time of the search.

Neighbors told CBS 2 the state investigator police went into the home with a nylon bag and a camera. They reportedly spent less than an hour inside, but when the investigators came out, neighbors say, they clearly had something in the bag but it was not apparent what that was. — continued

The police sergeant husband of missing Bolingbrook mother Stacy Peterson visited the Will County courthouse complex in Joliet for about two hours this afternoon.

A grand jury is meeting in the building he entered, which also houses the Will County State's Attorney's offices.

But neither Sgt. Drew Peterson nor the two lawyers who accompanied him would say what they were doing there.

"This is an on-going investigation," said attorney Fred Morelli. "We have nothing to say."

Drew Peterson -- clean shaven and dressed in a dark suit and tie -- would not respond to repeated questions from reporters. Moments later -- about 3:30 p.m. -- the sergeant and his lawyers left the courthouse complex in a gray Volkswagen. — continued

Teams of searchers prepared to work on foot, horseback and in boats looking for clues into Peterson’s disappearance.

Texas EquuSearch is coordinating the volunteer effort while state police are in charge of an investigation into the disappearance of Peterson, who is married to Sgt. Drew Peterson, 53, a 29-year veteran of the Bolingbrook Police Department.

Sister Of Drew Peterson's Late Third Wife Says She Thinks He Harmed Her

cbs2chicago.com - Mike Puccinelli - Nov 7, 2007 6:22 pm US/Central

JOLIET, Ill. (CBS) ― The search continues for missing Bolingbrook mother Stacy Peterson. Meanwhile, after not being seen for days, her husband, Drew Peterson, made an appearance in Joliet. — continued

Excerpt: Three and a half years after Kathleen Savio was found dead in a bathtub, her sister is speaking out for the first time for her desire to see her youngest sister exhumed from her eternal resting place.

When asked if she would support the exhuming of her sister, Anna Doman said, "Yes, if that's what it takes. In a minute."

That's because Anna Doman says Kathleen always believed that her husband, Drew Peterson, would hurt her.

"She told me she'd never make it to the end of the divorce. She'd never make the property settlement," Anna Doman said. "That's a shame."

Anna Doman said Kathleen Savio told her she knew she would be killed. And although she's never said publicly that she believed Drew Peterson killed Kathleen, she's not holding back anymore.

Coroner: Sergeant’s 3rd wife’s death should have been ’undetermined’

daily-journal.com - Gary Bishir - 11/7/2007

BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (AP) — The 2004 death of a Bolingbrook police sergeant’s third wife should have been ruled “undetermined,” the Will County coroner said Wednesday.

No charges were filed after Drew Peterson’s former wife Kathleen Savio, 40, drowned in a bathtub in March 2004 and a coroner’s jury ruled the death accidental. Peterson’s fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, has been missing for 11 days, prompting authorities to review Savio’s death.

“Certain aspects of Kathleen Savio’s death raised concerns for me as well. In my professional opinion … at the very least, her death should have been ruled ’undetermined,”’ Coroner Patrick O’Neil said in a statement. “The coroner’s jury unfortunately ruled otherwise.”

At the 2004 inquest, the coroner said Savio drowned, even though there was no water in the bathtub when she was found. Investigators have theorized that the water must have drained out of the tub. continued (http://daily-journal.com/bloggers/breakingnews/?p=1588)

Coroner disagrees with inquest finding

He disputes ruling that death of cop's 3rd wife was accident

chicagotribune.com - Matthew Walberg and Erika Slife - November 8, 2007

Will County Coroner Patrick O'Neil said late Wednesday he disagreed with the finding of an inquest that the 2004 death of a Bolingbrook police sergeant's third wife was an accident, even as volunteers continued their search for the sergeant's fourth wife. — continued

Excerpt: Medical records and letters obtained from Savio's relatives outline a pattern of alleged abuse and frustration with a lack of action by Bolingbrook police.

In May 1993, Savio was treated at a Hinsdale hospital for a head injury suffered, she alleged, when her husband hit her head on the dining room table.

In December 2002, a copy of a Bolingbrook police dispatch report alleges that after "taking pictures at a wedding and drinking all night," the police officer came home and trashed their home, furious that his wife came home early to be with their young children rather than close a bar the couple owned. The report noted that police responded, and then stated: "Female left residence to spend night at her sister's house[.] Problem solved."

And in a November 2002 letter to a Will County assistant state's attorney, Savio mentioned Peterson's relationship with his current wife.

"When I found out Mr. Peterson was having an affair with a minor . . .,he began to get very violent," she wrote. "Their [sic] has been several times throughout my marriage with this man where I ended up at the emergency room in Bolingbrook for injuries, and I have reported this only to have police leave my home without filing any reports."

'There is no way my sister was not murdered'

Family of Peterson's dead ex-wife hopes her cause of death will be re-examined

suburbanchicagonews - Jennifer Golz - November 8, 2007

The family of Kathleen Savio is willing to do whatever it takes to get to the bottom of her mysterious death.

And that might mean exhuming her body from her grave at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Hillside.

"There is no way my sister was not murdered," Anna Marie Doman said in an interview with CBS 2 investigative reporter Mike Puccinelli.

Found facedown in a waterless bathtub with bruises and cuts about her body, and toxicology reports that showed no signs of drugs or alcohol in her system, it "looks to me like someone helped her fall," Doman said. — continued

Wow, within that link there is a video regarding Peterson's 3rd wife Kathleen. In it her sister shows the letter that Kathleen wrote describing her husband's behavior. It is unbelievable how this woman basically knew that her husband was going to kill her one day and that she couldn't get any help from the police. It's so sad that she had no where to turn. She was physically beaten and threatened by this man and it's in her own words. It's very damning for him. I just pray that these women get the justice they deserve. IF and I say if only because nothing has been proven yet, but if Drew did this just look at what he has caused. Not only the deaths of possibly two people but he has ruined and shamed the lives of so many others. He has 6 children and their lives are affected forever. But why? and for what? He is either mentally sick or he is just an evil evil human being. I do know that we are all stronger than him and together we WILL bring him down. We have to.

About 60 volunteers resumed the search Thursday for Stacy Peterson, the Bolingbrook mother who was last seen Oct. 28 by her husband, Sgt. Drew Peterson.

Spearheaded by the rescue organization Texas EquuSearch, the volunteers were dispatched to areas throughout Will County on horseback, on foot and by boat.

Rebecca Marinellie, 18, of Lockport, showed up to the makeshift command center at Westbrook Christian Church on Lily Cache Lane on Thursday shivering in jeans and a light sweatshirt. Marinellie said she met Peterson, 23, through nursing classes at Joliet Junior College and wanted to help. — continued

Prosecutor Wants Kathleen Savio Exhumed

Jamie Colby - November 8th, 2007

Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow’s investigation into the 2004 death of Kathleen Savio, Drew Peterson’s third wife takes a new turn this hour. His office is speaking right now to the Savio family about exhuming Kathleen’s body. The Savio family has already said publicly they support the exhumation of Kathleen’s remains for further review.

The prosecutor is not obligated to get the family’s permission to do this but his office tells me he believes this is the right thing to do. What can be learned by looking at Kathleen Savio’s remains three years later? A second autopsy might not be possible but her remains could be thoroughly re-examined. The prosecutor is also not bound by the determination of the jury that heard the inquest and ruled her death an accidental drowning.

I’m also being told for the first time today that the Illinois State Police visited the previous State’s Attorney Jeff Tomczak within days of Savio’s death in 2004 “seeking guidance”. I’ve also learned that Tomczak’s file on the case is slim…there is very little paperwork available on that meeting with police or whatever investigation previous State’s Attorney Jeff Tomczak conducted. Why is that? One source suggests Drew Peterson may have had “connections” that limited the scope but I see no concrete proof of that. continued (http://colbyfiles.blogs.foxnews.com/)

jg-tc.com - AP - DON BABWIN - November 8, 2007

BOLINGBROOK, Ill. - They believe they're looking for a body now.

Nobody scours the woods, peering behind bushes, or watches divers bob in a retention pond for somebody who is alive.

And they look in the windows of her house and they think the answer could be in there, behind those curtains. Stacy Peterson's friends and family just can't shake the notion that her husband could help them determine the 23-year-old mother of two's whereabouts.

"We all know she's dead. She wouldn't leave her kids," said Jim Murray, 38, who spent Thursday traipsing through an overgrown field about a mile from the couple's home looking for signs of the missing woman. "If we thought she was alive, we wouldn't be out here." — continued

Excerpt: "He has not taken part (in) anything to help us locate her," said Roy Taylor, whose mother moved next door to the Petersons' house four years ago. "He has not gone on television, pleading with her to come home. He has done nothing..."

Excerpt: The Savio family says she made several attempts to authorities to get help over her troubled relationship with Sgt. Peterson.

"She documented everything. She saves everything. She made copies of everything. She handwrote a lot of stuff. If something happened she wrote it out by hand. And the date, the time, this happened. And she was very, very thorough. Because she had a feeling that she wasn't going to make it," said Charles Doman, Savio Peterson's nephew.

QUESTIONS FOR HUSBAND | Drew Peterson called before grand jury as hunt for wife goes on

suntimes.com - DAN ROZEK, STEFANO ESPOSITO AND KARA SPAK - November 8, 2007

Eleven days after Stacy Peterson vanished, her police officer husband was called to testify Wednesday before a Will County grand jury.

Hours later, Coroner Patrick O'Neil said the 2004 death of Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson's previous wife should not have been ruled accidental. — continued

Excerpt: Through a spokesman, Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow declined to comment on whether Peterson was called before the grand jury or why he was in the building across the street from the Will County Courthouse. It holds several courtrooms and a number of county offices, including Glasgow's office.

But sources confirmed that Peterson was called before a grand jury, which hears testimony from witnesses and has the power to return indictments against criminal suspects.

Stacy Peterson's sister, Cassandra Cales, said family members were told that Drew Peterson had been called before a grand jury but otherwise had little information.

The letters from the third wife were very interesting. Sad to say, but Stacy should have taken a long look at how her husband was treating the mother of his children and wondered if he would/could treat HER that way someday. It's unpleasant that she seemed to be antagonizing the situation herself by doing the things Kathleen described in her letter.

I've seen many men like Drew Peterson and unfortunately they go from one woman to the next. It seems they have very little regard for women, but for some reason NEED to have one. Notice how he jumps from one marriage into the next. That's a classic sign. Once he got a new woman, he treated his current wife like dirt and most likely killed her to get her out of the way.

Once Stacy showed signs of restlessness and tired of his domination, she wanted out! He most likely killed her as well because she defied him. For men like him, love means nothing once the woman gets out of his control.

He probably figured Stacy was young enough that he could mold her into the subservient type of woman he wanted...and he could keep her under his control.

Hopefully they will find her and he will be held accountable for his actions against BOTH women!

I don't know, it seems funny that he calls his neighbor, granted he's a locksmith, to open up the house for him. Then the neighbor is the one who discovers the body, not Drew. I find that interesting. I mean this way he has a witness to the discovery and Drew is not the actual "discoverer". I mean if he hadn't heard from his ex in a couple of days and he's a cop, he couldn't have gotten in another way?? It just seems like a set up to me. He planned it that way so it would take the suspicion off of him. Or am I reading into it too much???

Excerpt: "The 1-inch gash on the back of Kathleen Savio's head did not render her unconscious, which would have been necessary for her to accidentally drown in the bathtub," Glasgow stated in the petition to the judge.

"This evidence is consistent with the 'staging' of an accident to conceal a homicide," the petition stated.

"Blood evidence in the tub is not consistent with an accidental drowning followed by water slowly leaking out of the tub."

Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson this afternoon was formally labeled a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, who vanished Oct. 28.

The announcement came shortly after a judge ordered that the body of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, be exhumed after prosecutors argued the circumstances around her 2004 bathtub death appear suspicious. — continued

Excerpt: Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for Stacy Peterson's relatives, said news that Drew Peterson is now considered a suspect in his wife’s disappearance has summoned mixed emotions.

"This is the first step in the direction we need to go," Bosco said this afternoon. "Those words only mean we most likely won't see Stacy again. That's the saddest part of this."

Bosco said she was standing next to Stacy's father when they both heard the news about Drew Peterson. "To hear that and look at him, and know what he's thinking, it's very sad," Bosco said.

Stacy Peterson Disappearance Called Homicide

Husband Drew Peterson Called Suspect By State Police

cbs2chicago.com - Nov 9, 2007

BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) ― An Illinois State police captain said Friday that the Stacy Peterson case had gone "from a missing persons case to a potential homicide case," and that her husband, Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, had "gone from being a person of interest to clearly being a suspect." — continued

Excerpt: "Early on, we looked at this as a missing persons case, but also believed strongly that based on the (Kathleen) Savio investigation (into the death of Drew Peterson's third wife) and the information that we were gleaning within the first 24 hours of the missing persons case with Stacy, was starting to strongly point to Drew Peterson being a person of interest," Dobrich said. "I would say that right now, Drew Peterson has gone from being a person of interest to clearly being a suspect."

Foul play debated in ex-wife's death

suburbanchicagonews.com/bolingbrooksun - JOE HOSEY - November 9, 2007

JOLIET -- A State police investigator downplayed the possibility of foul play in the death of a Bolingbrook cop's third wife nearly four years before his fourth wife disappeared.

The testimony from Special Agent Herbert Hardy at the May 2004 coroner's inquest of Kathleen Savio's death painted the 40-year-old's demise as anything but fishy. — continued

Police Name Cop As Suspect In Wife's Disappearance

Stacy Peterson Disappearance Called Homicide

cbs4.com - Nov 9, 2007

BOLINGBROOKE, Ill. (CBS) ― The investigation is quickly picking up steam to get to the bottom of what happened to two of Drew Peterson's four wives.

Excerpt: A neighbor of Drew Peterson said she and her family are afraid to stay in their house at night, and they may seek a restraining order to keep him from their house. It stems from an incident in which she called police after she said Drew Peterson approached her in her driveway, repeatedly screaming her name.

"The thing that really concerned me most of all is that he would go into my backyard and do it again, while the police officer's in the front of the yard," said neighbor Sharon Bychowski. "That sounds just like someone that's coming a little unglued."

Peterson is now 'clearly' a suspect in wife's disappearance

BOLINGBROOK | Stacy a 'potential homicide'; 3rd wife murdered?

suntimes.com - DAN ROZEK AND STEFANO ESPOSITO - November 10, 2007

Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson has cast himself as a misunderstood man whose young, pretty wife simply left him -- possibly for another man.

On Friday, Peterson officially became a suspect in Stacy Peterson's disappearance, in a case that's now labeled a "potential homicide," authorities said Friday.

"Right now, Drew Peterson has gone from a person of interest to clearly being a suspect," State Police Capt. Carl Dobrich said during a news conference that marked a dramatic shift in two cases involving the suburban cop. — continued

Cop once fired over claim of betrayal

UNDERCOVER | Peterson was accused of outing fellow officer to killer

suntimes.com - STEFANO ESPOSITO AND DAN ROZEK - November 10, 2007

Retired State Police Lt. Col. Ronald Janota hasn't spoken to Drew Peterson in more than a decade, but Peterson is a man he hasn't forgotten and will never forgive.

In 1985, Janota was Peterson's boss at the Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad -- working out of a "clandestine" office near Joliet, Janota told the Chicago Sun-Times this week. Peterson, for reasons Janota said he has never been able to explain, allegedly sabotaged one of the squad's drug stings and gave the identity of an undercover narcotics agent to a convicted killer under investigation for dealing drugs, Janota said.

"We found out from different sources that the identity of an Illinois State Police officer was revealed to the [killer], by Mr. Peterson," Janota said. " . . . We immediately notified the undercover officer that his life was in jeopardy."

Added Janota, "Putting a fellow officer's life in jeopardy is unforgivable as far as I'm concerned." — continued

"I haven't received help from the police here in Bolingbrook and (am) asking for your help now - before it's too late," Kathleen Savio wrote in a letter dated Nov. 14, 2002, to a Will County assistant state's attorney.

But that help may have come too late. — continued

Death of cop's 3rd wife called no accident

Body of woman will be exhumed, authorities say

chicagotribune.com - Matthew Walberg and Erika Slife - November 10, 2007

The body of an ex-wife of Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, whose current wife remains missing, will be exhumed and undergo a second autopsy, Will County State's Atty. James Glasgow said Friday, adding that he believed her death may have been staged as an accident.

"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." — continued X 2 pages

Excerpt: Cales reported her sister missing early on Oct. 29.

That evening state police investigators searched the Peterson home.

"At the time, Mr. Peterson was cooperative and allowed our officers, including a crime-scene technician, into the residence to do a limited consensual search," Dobrich said. "Nothing was found. Both vehicles were found at the residence: a GMC Denali and a Pontiac Grand Prix. We were allowed access to the Denali, but not to the Grand Prix."

On Nov. 2, investigators executed a search warrant for the house, the vehicles and a trailer at the home. Four days later, they returned with a second search warrant.

"As you can see, based on those search warrants, investigators felt that we might find evidence of a crime in the home or in the vehicles and supportive evidence in the computers that were taken from the residence," Dobrich said.

He would not discuss what evidence was recovered.

Glasgow said he learned of the Savio case when it came up as part of the investigation into Stacy Peterson's disappearance.

"I read the autopsy protocol," 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.

It was unclear when Savio's body would be exhumed. An independent medical examiner will conduct a full autopsy to try to find out what caused Savio's unconscious state, he said.

"No one drowns in a bathtub without being unconscious," Glasgow said, adding the examiner will look for "fractures of bones [and] subcutaneous bruises that could indicate choking or other injuries."
