Stacy Peterson -- Missing 10/28/07

I have to agree with Brodski, just this once.. I do believe this search is suspicious.. and very close to the trial...

I doubt he wud have buried her on a farm, and told someone... and I doubt he had an accomplice..

From WTVO (Rockford, IL):

Drew Peterson's Former Sister-In-Law On Upcoming Trial & Police Search

It was an emotional weekend for those who knew the alleged victims of former Bolingbrook cop Drew Peterson. Authorities searched through the mud and rain on a farm near Peoria for the body of Stacy Peterson.“It’s difficult, it’s really difficult. It affects both families, our family and her family, we’re waiting and hoping that she is found,” says Kathleen Savio’s sister Sue Doman.
The search is expected to resume Tuesday. Stacy vanished in 2007 after requesting a divorce from Peterson. Her disappearance prompted the family of Peterson’s third wife, Kathleen Savio, to exhume her body. Savio drowned in her bathtub in 2004. Her sister Sue Doman lives in Machesney Park, and says that’s not what happened.

“I never believed she drowned, no not at all. I talked to her like two days before she passed always and she had the feeling she was going to die and it was going to be an accident,” says Doman.

Her death is now considered a homicide, and Peterson’s being held at the Will County jail as the main suspect. He’s pleaded not guilty.“We’re just on our toes about it right now waiting for more information”. Sue hopes that new deals about Stacy’s death will offer new evidence for Kathleen’s trial.“We may find out more, what really happened to my sister. Whatever the outcome is, more may come out.”

Little DNA evidence has linked Peterson to the alleged crimes, leaving little for the case to rest on.“I do believe in my opinion that he did kill Stacy and I do believe in my opinion that he did kill my sister. Will it bring closure? No, it will never bring closure. Justice? Yes,” says Doman. It’s that closure and information that these families are desperately seeking.

Thanks Sherry, I hope both families soon get the answers they are
desperately seeking.

YW, Julie!

I hope so, too. Sue Doman lives just north of me so local coverage of the case usually involves interviewing her. National/Chicago coverage in the past has not always picked up those interviews.

Anthropologist: Cops convinced they're close to finding Stacy Peterson body

Posted: Tuesday, 08 June 2010 7:50AM

(WBBM) -- The original report said the weekend search for Stacy Peterson's body was prompted by a jailhouse source. But Chicago Sun- Times Columnist Michael Sneed quotes a top official in law enforcement as saying that's not true: The official reportedly says the source sought out investigators and the validity of the tip is being reassessed.

Meanwhile, the anthropologist working with state police tells WBBM's Steve Miller authorities are "very convinced' the remains are near the places they've already looked.

The search for Peterson's body is expected to resume in the next few days.

Why were police looking for Peterson's body in Peoria?

June 23, 2010

(JOLIET) The state police are trying to keep a lid on why they were poking around Peoria for the body of Stacy Peterson, but the lawyers for the missing mother's husband want to pry that information free.

"We want to know why they're digging in Peoria," said Joel Brodsky, the lead attorney for Stacy's husband -- disgraced former cop Drew Peterson.

"We're curious," Brodsky said. "For a lot of reasons, we're curious."

Does anybody know if the search for Stacy's body ever resumed? I don't understand what they are waiting for if they were convinced that they were close to finding her.

Hi, Justice4all~

The latest news is that Peterson's attorney wants to know why there was a search in the first place. He wants information from the ISP about it. I will give the link to the blog that posted Joe Hosey's latest article because the comment line has some good surmisings as to what Brodsky is up to:

Justice Cafe Latest Post on Drew Peterson

It has been raining quite a bit in the area for weeks, too, hampering the digging.

Hi Sherry! Thanks for the link, you always have the "low down"....

YW, Piper! I don't live too far from there-north of Peoria-so we have been getting alot of rain! Right now alot of central/north Illinois is under flash flood watches.

Hopefully, we will get a good dry spell so the search can continue.

Investigators continue search for Stacy Peterson
Defense attorney's ask a judge to release more information about the searches.

PJ Randhawa WGN News

The search for Stacy Peterson continued last weekend, as investigators searched a large farm in Peoria.

The six-hour search took place last Saturday, when investigators were tipped off by a confidential source who came forward with "new additional information".

The source refused to come to the location and aid with the search, according to the Chicago Sun-Times

Peterson defense attorney's were back in court Tuesday morning to ask a Judge to release more information about the searches, as Peterson's trial approaches next week.

Drew Peterson has been named the primary suspect in Stacy's disappearance, but has not been charged. Peterson will stand trial beginning next week for the murder of his *third* wife Kathleen Savio.

http://www.cltv.com/news/wgntv-stacy-peterson-search-june29,0,5961913.story

Why does Peterson's defense team care? They go around telling everyone about Stacy running off with another man and discounted this search as a wild goose chase and now they want the details. It's an ongoing investigation so it isn't likely they will get those details.

Exactly, Sherry!!! I have always thought Brodsky's an idiot, anyway.......

I've often wondered if he is related to Jose Baez...

OT-the other day I made a pot of catnip tea to use for misquito repellant-my cats went absolutely nuts smelling it throughout the house!

No more 'wild goose' searches for Stacy Peterson

August 25, 2010
BY MICHAEL SNEED Sun-Times Columnist

The informant was a dud.

Sneed is told State Police do not plan to conduct any more "wild goose" searches for the body of Stacy Peterson, the missing fourth wife of ex-cop Drew Peterson -- who is charged with killing his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

I hate it when the Peterson defense is right, especially Brodsky!

Drew Peterson’s son fired from Oak Brook force

PIONEER PRESS Feb 19, 2011 10:17PM

The Oak Brook Police and Fire Commission voted unanimously Saturday to fire Officer Stephen Peterson from the Oak Brook Police Department, effective immediately.

Following a brief session by the board, Chairman Fred Cappetta read a prepared statement announcing the board had found Peterson guilty of failing to disclose facts to law enforcement officials in connection with the disappearance of his stepmother, Stacy Peterson. His father is former Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson.

Upon hearing the news, Peterson and his attorney Tamara Cummings left the boardroom disappointed.

“We’re not surprised because (the board) has been hesitant in the past to go against the chief,” Cummings said. “We hoped they would do the right thing.”

Peterson angry over son’s firing

Stephen Peterson accepted three weapons and a transfer of $236,800 from his father on Oct. 30, three days after Stacy Peterson’s disappearance.

“I am very angry that the police and fire board of Oak Brook are in the police chief’s pocket and that they can’t make a fair decision on their own,” said Peterson, who commented via his attorney, Joel Brodsky.

Peterson’s comments were e-mailed by Brodsky to The Herald-News. The former Bolingbrook police sergeant is being held at the Will County Jail while awaiting trial on charges he murdered his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

“When I gave Steve my guns there was no investigation to impede,” Peterson said. “They were my favorite guns, and I was going to give them to Steve when I retired anyway. I only gave him three of the dozen or so guns I owned, and I kept most of my guns in my house and the police confiscated them all, so how could giving him those three guns impede anything?”

Drew Peterson Writing Love Letters to Woman from Jail: Report

Updated: Thursday, 07 Apr 2011, 9:50 AM CDT

~Snipped~

"I have a closet full of new or like-new clothes Stacy left behind when she abandoned us, everything from formal dresses to sweats to bikinis," Peterson wrote in another, according to the (National Enquirer). Of course the Stacy he wrote about is Stacy Peterson, Drew's fourth wife.

Stacy Peterson disappeared nearly two and a half years ago and hasn't been seen since.

Grandel said the last letter about Stacy's clothing was more than she could handle. She told the Enquirer that was when she realized Drew Peterson was likely guilty of murdering his ex-wife.
