Drew Peterson

Drew Peterson recently answered a question about the whereabouts of his wife Stacy Peterson deceptively, according to a polygraph test. Peterson has been under public suspicion for having a hand in the disappearance of his wife as well as having something to do with the death of his ex-wife, Kathleen Savio. Peterson has not been charged with a crime and has denied any wrongdoing. Peterson explained on The Early Show yesterday morning that he can't explain the polygraph's findings. [UPI]

Breaking: a judge has issued a warrant for the arrest of Drew Peterson on gun charges. Of the guns that were confiscated by police, one was too short under Illinois law. Peterson is a former police officer whose fourth wife, Stacy, has been missing since October. His third wife's death was recently ruled a homicide. [My Fox Chicago]

Drew Peterson Has Some Fucked Up Notions About Family

Whether or not he's behind the disappearance (and probable murder) of his wife Stacy, there's one thing Drew Peterson is guilty of: Total and utter douchebaggery. The former cop (what is it about cops who murder their wives lately?) just can't get enough of the media's spotlight and, so, exactly one week after investigators deemed the death of his third wife a homicide, he turned up on the Today show (again!) to talk with Matt Lauer. The entire interview lasted some 10 minutes, but the most telling moment came about two-thirds of the way through, when Lauer quoted a note Stacy had sent to friends about the "controlling", "manipulative", and "somewhat abusive" nature of her marriage. See how Drew responded to that, above. Drew Peterson: "I'm Prepared For Anything" [NBC News] More »

Suspicious Drowning Of Drew Peterson's Third Wife Ruled A Homicide

Drew Peterson, the despicable police officer and husband of still missing (and probably dead) fourth wife Stacy Peterson, might not be free much longer. The death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, has been ruled a homicide. After Stacy (pictured here with her son and her younger sister) mysteriously disappeared without a trace in late October, Kathleen's body was exhumed. And, although the original autopsy performed on her back in March 2004 declared Kathleen's death an accident, upon further investigation, forensic analysts now believe foul play was involved. (Kathleen drowned in a bathtub). More »

Drew Peterson Manages To Offend Fox News

UPDATE: Stacy Peterson's body maybe was found.
Hey, it's Drew Peterson! Haven't heard from that guy in awhile; I bet you assumed because was so busy looking for the "real killer" of his 98 missing wives or something! Well no. He's been working on his comedy routine. Here's the punchline: Drew — specifically, his lawyer— convinced Chicago radio station WJMK-FM to host a contest called "Win A Date With Drew Peterson." This afternoon on Fox News, Shepard Smith interviewed him about it. Shep's a tough crowd! Drew walks off the set!! Now if Shep would track down radio personality Steve Dahl, and find out just what the fuck he was smoking when he agreed to this...Or, you know, invite him on set and just give him a real swift kick in the nuts.

The Dating Shame The lawyer who represents former cop Drew Peterson (a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy) pitched a grrrrreat idea to a Chicago radio station: A "Win A Date With Drew Peterson" contest. The host of the station's morning show offered to chaperone the date "to be on the safe side." So which is it? Is Peterson the worst guy in the world (technically he is still married, remember) or does he just have the worst attorney in the world? [Newser]

Drew Peterson Tells Dateline He Pampered Wife Stacy With Plastic Surgery


This morning, the Today show ran a preview of Hoda Kotb's interview with Drew Peterson that's part of a Dateline report on the disappearance of his wife Stacy that airs tonight. In the clip above, Drew — who is a suspect in her disappearance — discusses how he pampered Stacy. He says he got her anything she wanted, like a boob job, a tummy tuck, braces, hair removal, Lasik eye surgery, referring to them as "repairs." You can tell by the look on her face that Hoda Kotb is like, Oh. My. God. You fucking ass. Hoda also calls Drew out for always speaking of Stacy in the past tense. But he's sticking to his story: She left him and the kids for another man, and that she was an emotional rollercoaster because of her menstrual cycle. More »

(Alleged) serial wife killer Drew Peterson (pictured) tried asking for money via a personal website to help him pay for his mounting legal bills. Unfortunately for Peterson, the website, DefendDrew.com, has been disabled, but before it got axed, Defend Drew said, "For the cost of a few cups of your morning coffee, you can help to ensure that Drew can afford to support his ongoing legal defense, find his missing wife, and divert any remaining funds into a trust for his children." How about spending your java money on people who actually deserve it?[New York Times]

Today In Missing White Women News

Still in a tryptophan induced post-Thanksgiving coma? Here's some new info on two potentially murdered white women to wrench you from your turkey stupor. (We'd report on missing black women, but it's hard to do so when the mainstream media doesn't seem to give a shit!) Stacy Peterson (pictured), the missing Illinois woman whose ex-cop husband, Drew, was previously married to a woman who "drowned suspiciously" was allegedly spotted in Peoria on November 19th. This update comes via an anonymous letter sent to Drew. And by "anonymous" Drew means "My buddy Skeeter wrote it and I'm pretending it's from a stranger." Kidding on that last part... but only kind of. A friend of Stacy, Scott Rossetto, told a grand jury on Wednesday that he and Stacy sent "racy texts," which he believes may have been misinterpreted by Drew. More »
