Whoa-- she SOUGHT HIM OUT, y'all! From ABC News:

According to Armstrong, Drew Peterson's future bride was a former fan of his who first introduced herself to him through handwritten letters.

"I asked him if she was one of his fans," said Armstrong, "and he said 'yes.' He's definitely been getting a lot of fan mail."

Another interesting tidbit from the article-- he's dated SIX women since his wife's disappearance. The fuck?

A sick gem from the Trib article:

"I'm not saying nothing," he said in a telephone interview with a female Tribune reporter. He then joked: "You kept putting me off. What else could I do?"

@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: Does it have something to do with insufficient evidence to meet the reasonable doubt threshhold?

(I'm sorry, I was so horrified and nauseated every time I tried to read about this that I just couldn't follow it.)

What I want to know is when Stacy is coming back to clear this whole thing up? I mean, how could she just take off on him and dump him for another man?! It's about time he moves on with his life. Good for him.

Yes, I'm being sarcastic.

Hey, at least we'll finally find the body now. Can't kill them until you marry them, right?

I hate knowing that women like this exist in the world. I mean, he's a bad guy, but I want to think that women can be empowered and confident enough not to end up the 5th wife of the serial wife disappear-er. I feel like the world failed her to put her in a place where she thinks this is a good idea.

@sportz.star: I agree. I have trouble with everybody saying "she's so dumb!" There is a reason that young, vulnerable women make choices like this, and that reason usually is not their fault.

@malishka: I agree too. I mean, she clearly doesn't even have anyone close to her who'll take her away from this horrible situation. Who doesn't make horrible choices when they're all alone?

@HuckleberryFriend: We have no idea whether she's alone or not. And most people's 'horrible choice' when they're all alone is to eat a whole pint of Ben and Jerry's, or to drunk-dial an ex. Getting engaged to serial killer is beyond the realm of understanding.

I hope he's arrested for murder before the marriage can happen. Otherwise I can't see it ending well.

And they've been dating four months? Am I reading that right? Jesus God and Mary.

If I was related to this girl, I'd...do something drastic to get her away from him. I don't know what. But this is nuts. Of course, all the disapproval and "WTF" probably just makes her want to marry him even more.

@lalaland13: Actually, I think that is what happened with the other girl he was involved with. She started kind of seeing the light when the police were asking her where he was, etc. Hopefully this girl will get a clue too.

Since he's technically still married to Stacy, can he even get engaged??

@KathrynwithaY loves Joan Collins: The fact that he is still technically married doesn't seem to bother him. In the article, he says that he was still married to wife #3 (Kathleen Savio) when he got engaged to Stacey.

@KathrynwithaY loves Joan Collins: It's certainly legal, but I think it would be what Miss Manners would describe as "in poor taste." Since Miss Manners would be too polite to go "WTF??!!!"

I am in Chicago and my relatives all live in the surrounding near suburbs, so my aunts and uncles all know this guy, he hangs out at the same bars by 30 year old cousin does and he is a king in these places. He always has young girls hanging all over him and people giving him beers. One time my cousin and his friends got into a FIST FIGHT with some of Peterson's cronies because Petersen said they were "looking at him wrong" and they were all thrown out of the bar. It'so disgusting.

Well, didn't Timothy McVeigh get married while on death row? I think Mr. Peterson needs to disappear. Like, right now. I've got a shotgun, a shovel, and 4-wheel drive. Who's with me?

I guess the 23 year old wants to become famous... by having her pic flashed across the screen for months and months as authorities search for her body.
