Drew offers $25,000 for info on 'cheating' wife

BOLINGBROOK - Insisting that his wife left him for another man, Drew Peterson today offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to her safe return.

Stacy Peterson was 23 when she vanished six months ago.

Peterson says the night Stacy left him she told him on the phone that she was leaving. He denies any involvement, but police maintain he is the prime suspect in her disappearance.

Peterson says he had hoped that by this time Stacy would’ve contacted him or their four children. But she hasn’t. He says he, too, can’t fathom why.

He says he hopes that this reward will bring her home.

The $25,000 reward is for information that leads to the safe return of Stacy, said Joel A. Brodsky, Peterson’s criminal defense attorney. Brodsky says the reward money will be paid in addition to any other reward now being offered.

Information and tips should be sent to stacytips@yahoo.com. Brodsky says the tips will be opened and read by a team of investigators hired by Peterson, not by Peterson himself or his attorneys. He says all legitimate leads will be forwarded to law enforcement authorities.
