Now that it has been proved that Drew Peterson’s third wife was murdered, the search for Stacy Peterson continues. She was reported missing on October 29th, 2007 in Bolingbrook, Illinois after failing to show up at the home of a family member. Drew is not the one who reported her missing. By November 2, 2007 the search has returned little information and cadaver dogs were brought to the Peterson residence. Police divers also searched a local pond in an attempt to locate Stacy Peterson’s body. On November 6, 2007 police searched the Peterson home for a second time. It is important to realize that during this time, the local community continued searching for Stacy.
Local volunteers have gathered together and local Chicago stations are airing shows to help in the efforts. One station, CLTV even airs a program entitled, “The Search for Stacy” Wednesday nights. America’s Most Wanted has profiled Stacy with the latest episode airing her information on November 10, 2007. There is a website devoted to her search, it is called, Find Stacy Peterson the site features a forum, local news stations, photos, search information, videos, and even a My Space Find Stacy Peterson page. With all of the support from the community and Stacy Peterson’s family, you would expect that the number one person leading the search would be her husband. However, he has yet to search for his wife on his own, or join in with the countless local and community volunteers who are searching through the community in an effort to find any clues regarding Stacy Peterson’s whereabouts.
The case took a serious turn on November 9th, 2007 when a judge issued an order to have Kathleen Savio’s body exhumed. Kathleen was Drew Peterson’s third wife and he was in fact married to Kathleen when he started dating Stacy who was only 17 years old. Drew Peterson was 30 years her senior, divorced Kathleen and married Stacy. It seems apparent that Drew Peterson knew he was in trouble when they began plans to exhume Kathleen’s body. I mean, just put the pieces together. Three days after they sign the orders, he resigned from the Bolingbrook Police Department. Obviously, Drew Peterson was making sure that he would collect his $72,000 yearly pension that is currently in safe status. I guess that’s one good thing, after Drew Peterson is convicted of murder, the children can use that money! Now, let’s continue putting the pieces together.
On November 12th, 2007 Kathleen Savio’s body is officially exhumed and the autopsy begins. Surprisingly, the very next day Drew Peterson breaks his silence, appears on NBC’s Today Show and is interviewed by Matt Lauer. Without a bat or blink of any eye, Drew Peterson uses the interview as an opportunity to ask for an attorney to represent him. He never showed any signs of sorrow, sadness, or grief the entire time he was interviewed and when asked why he hasn’t actively participated in the many searches for his wife of four years, he answered, “Well, there’s two things. One thing, it’s like I’m such a media sensation right now, if I go out and search, I think the search would be hampered by, number one, all the media attention I’d be getting. And, two, why would I look for somebody who I don’t believe is missing? She’s just gone. She’s where she wants to be.
