The daughter of Drew Peterson's second wife and the sister of his third wife appeared Thursday before the grand jury investigating the third wife's death and his fourth wife's disappearance.
A group dedicated finding missing mom Stacy Peterson will raise money on Mother's Day weekend to search for. "We're doing it on the weekend of Mother's Day to honor Stacy and all the other great mothers just like her," said Sharon Bychowski, Stacy's best friend and next-door neighbor.
Drew Peterson was in such a hurry to pick up a 22-year-old female friend who needed a ride over the weekend that he got stopped for speeding by Naperville Police.
But the former Bolingbrook Police officer avoided a ticket, instead receiving a warning after being curbed about 2:30 a.m. Saturday in the western suburb.
Drew Peterson and his father-in-law were good friends at one time. They since have had somewhat of a falling out. "We actually got along pretty well," Anthony Cales said of the man police believe had a hand in his daughter Stacy's possible demise.
It might be throwing good money after bad, but Drew Peterson says he will pay $25,000 to get his wife back. Peterson has claimed all along his missing wife Stacy stole $25,000 from his safe when she grabbed her bikini and absconded with another man in late October. Now he is doubling this investment for her "safe return."
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. Drew 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.
In the first days after his wife was reported missing, Drew Peterson would only open his front door an inch or so when reporters came calling. A few days before the six-month mark of her disappearance, Peterson was set to appear on a national television news program.
A judge reopened the estate of Drew Peterson's third wife last week, but the embattled ex-cop isn't saying uncle yet.
A judge reopened the estate of Drew Peterson’s third wife last week, but the embattled ex-cop isn’t saying uncle yet. In reopening the estate, Judge Carmen Goodman stripped Peterson’s uncle James Carroll of his executor powers, but Peterson’s attorney has appealed the decision.
Drew Peterson still can't have his guns, and neither can his son. Peterson's son, Oak Brook cop Stephen Peterson, made the trip down to Joliet in hopes of receiving the 11 firearms state police seized from his dad while serving a search warrant on his Bolingbrook home Nov. 1.
JOLIET -- Kathleen Savio's estate can be reopened.
Drew Peterson still can't have his guns, and neither can his son.
Peterson's son, an Oak Brook cop, made the trip down to Joliet in hopes of receiving the 11 firearms state police seized from his dad while serving a search warrant on his Bolingbrook home Nov. 1. But a Will County judge was not ready to hand over any firearms just yet.
Kathleen Savio’s estate can be reopened. So lawyers now can investigate the possibility of filing a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of her family. "We’d have to prove whether it is Drew Peterson — or anyone else — (who killed her),” explained Martin Glink of Arlington Heights, one of the Savios’ lawyers. Savio was Peterson's third wife.
BOLINGBROOK -- A volunteer group devoted to finding missing mom Stacy Peterson has made available a line of merchandise they are selling to support their search effort.
"As a police officer, we don't have the same abilities to do things as a common person," Drew Peterson said during his appearance on the "Larry King Live" show Friday night. The former Bolingbrook police sergeant shared with King the many hardships he has had to endure since his wife went missing.
Larry King may have married six women, but at least he is not suspected of killing any of them. Drew Peterson, on the other hand, is a suspect in the "potential homicide" of his missing fourth wife. Tonight, the two men will get to meet -- and possibly compare notes on the finer points of wedding planning.
The man who went on television and claimed Drew Peterson's stepbrother showed up at his door and blurted out that he helped the Bolingbrook cop get rid of his missing wife's body was called before the grand jury Thursday. Walter Martineck, a neighbor and friend of Peterson's stepbrother, Thomas Morphey, declined to discuss his grand jury appearance.
