Cop To Missing Wife: "Please Come Home"

Ill. Police Officer Drew Peterson Says Wife Stacey Left Him For Another Man

(CBS/AP)  An Illinois police officer suspected in the disappearance of his fourth wife pleaded Wednesday for her to come home, even as he maintained that she left him for another man.

"Come home. Tell people where you are," Drew Peterson said on NBC's "Today."

Stacy Peterson was last seen Oct. 28. Authorities say the case is a potential homicide investigation and have identified her husband, a 53-year-old police sergeant in the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook, as a suspect.

Peterson denied that he harmed his 23-year-old wife or had anything to do with her disappearance, saying that "she found somebody else, those were her words." He also said he had no plans to help search for her because he thought she left willfully. He also said he was a "media sensation" and would attract attention that could harm the search effort.

"Why would I look for somebody who I don't believe is missing? She's just gone. She's where she wants to be," Peterson said.

The interview aired a day after the body of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, was exhumed in Illinois.

Savio was found in the bathtub, her hair soaked in blood from a head wound. A coroner's jury ruled the 40-year-old's death was an accidental drowning, even though there was no water in the bathtub. Investigators had theorized the water had drained out, but now say evidence suggests that someone killed Savio and tried to make it look like an accident.

Investigators might have to wait several weeks for the results of an independent analysis on the body of Kathleen Savio, reports CBS station KBBM-TV.

Peterson acknowledged that there were mysterious circumstances surrounding Savio's death, but said he didn't know what, if anything, the exhumation would accomplish.

"It's a shame her rest in peace has to be disturbed for something like this," he told NBC.

Peterson described his relationship with both women as troubled, saying both came from troubled homes and struggled with depression. But he denied involvement in either case.

"I can look right in your eye and say I had nothing to do with either of those incidents," he said.

Peterson has been relieved of duty and placed on suspension without pay pending completion of an internal affairs investigation and hearing.

oh i saw his sorry self on the today show this morning - i assume it was his last ditch attempt to look innocent - i know it''s always "innocent until proven guilty" - but when it''s all said and done, it will be proven - HE DID IT!! he is so-o-o-o-o guilty. he makes me puke.

In other news, O.J. has just announced to the press, "I''m still looking for Nicole''s killer. Really, I am."

[oeangus]

If you ran off with someone, only to find your picture plastered on the front page of every newspaper, saying you may have been murdered, wouldn''t you, um, IMMEDIATELY CONTACT SOMEONE??? The media? YOUR FAMILY and kids at the very least!?

Dude is SO guilty...

How did OJ''s name make it into this story? LOL

"Savio was found in the bathtub, her hair soaked in blood from a head wound. A coroner''s jury ruled the 40-year-old''s death was an accidental drowning, even though there was no water in the bathtub."

Even the National Inquirer can''t make up more bizarre stuff. Profuse bleeding from a head wound, no water in the tub, definitely accidental drowning--case closed!

The police definitely take care of their own...

cryonbrian:

and because oj''s name is synonymous with ''GUILTY''

i hear ya!! and i agree totally - good comment

[nlm2383]

He is only 53 and has already been married 4 times? Yea, he''s a little unstable... And of course she wanted out of the marriage, I''m only a year older than this girl and there''s no way I could be with someone 30 years older than me, let alone someone as controlling and psychotic as they portray him to be. I really hope they do find her alive, for the sake of her family and her children, but I highly doubt that''ll happen... I just hope he pays for it.

[mark19572]

YEA! I SAW THE INTERVIEW THIS AM W/ MATT LAUER,
I THINK THE 30 YR VETERAN COP. IS SO CALLUS AND HARDENED, THAT HE HAS LEARNED HOW TO LIE (STRAIGHT FACED)....IT''S TOO BAD.... I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THE OTHER 2 WIVES, BUT JUST THE FACT THAT HE MARRIED A GIRL 30 YRS YOUNGER SHOWS OF HIS NEED TO BE A CONTROL FREAK, AND HAS DOMINATED HIS SPOUSE, MAYBE I;M WRONG .
WE''LL SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT///////AS FOR THE O.J. THING?
HE IS FOR THIS CRIME AND THE LAST CRIME IN 1994-----GUILTY AS S.I.N.! HE SHOULD BURN IN HELL- AFTER GOD ALMIGHTY HAS JUDGED HIM! ( SORRY FOR THE BAD SPELLING) MY FIRST TIME COMMENTING ON THIS SITE.

[jetranger7]

I''ll just place a hunch, from the vibes I''m getting, that shes in Water somewhere, weighted down, rather it be a lake, pond, river, the girl was 23, she probably wasn''t serious about the relationship as he was. So, he''s done something, heres the catcher to this, he may claim he does not know where she is,, but, don''t you think her Family and closest friends would know where shes at and how to contact her ?? You bet they would and wouldn''t you think she''d want to contact her parents and friends sisters, brothers ?? He knows more than what he''s telling, somethings mighty fishy with this tale !

So are you? Your point?

[billpl-2009]

If she really did run away and left this guy with a murder rap?

he probably deserves it.

[jetlizhan]

tuckerndfw:

his last wife (kathleen savio) died march 1, 2004

[delta5243]

he makes a cute comment, the only problem is that this girl is not alive, he killed her......so it''s going to be a little difficult for her to "just come home"

[johnp2007]

What a sick pervert... marrying a child 30 years younger than himself. He was 47 when Stacy was only 17 and very vulnerable. He should be arrested for pedophilia.

[newsreader57]

According to some reports Stacey video taped Drew wrestling wife #3 to the ground and put his knee to the back of her head to hold her down. HMMMM, Stacey never gave that tape to the police or internal affairs. Could she have known what happened to wife #3 and she told Drew she was going to tell? And he shut her up for ever.

[bb19631]

She can''t come home! You killed her ,you old idiot. Shame on you for marrying such young girls! Obviously, you had to be domineering to them. The ladies got sick of it and were going to leave your old ***, you killed them. No doubt in my mind.

[dredre2k]

This is yet another chapter in the endless SOAP OPERA that is American news. Meanwhile two wars rage on, the dollar slumps, jobs disappear, gas prices go higher without any plausible explaination, people sit in toxic FEMA trailers and the Bush administration continues to rob this country blind. Nice to know the media has their eye on the real problems in this country. In other news, Britney poops in public!

[delta5243]

it figures, typical cop mentality....

[fibonacci_]

Yea tucker I kind of agree. I have never understood that so many women go for guys that could be their dads or even grandpas.

[sandycat2]

Maybe that''s who these women are looking for. Their father.

[yoopermom]

I love the Sugar Daddy comments! My husband is 13 years older than I am and when we met his brothers tried telling him I just wanted a sugar daddy to take care of me. Kinda funny since I have a good job and make more money than he does and owned my own home!

Too much of this story is missing to be jumping to conclusions. For all we know he could have married her for money. We just dont know.

[jetranger7]

OK,OK,OK, this is a Crime for a professional Investigator !! So I''m Calling Lt. Columbo, or maybe Magnum P.I., or do we need Simon & Simon, or Mannix, how about IRONSIDE, ohh even better KOJACK !! Hey remember the movie "What Lies Beneath" !!

[questionnews]

I have no idea if this guy did it or not, if he did do her in burn him on a bon fire. But what struck me is: What a wonderful way to exact revenge on a spouse. Just create a little chaos in the relationship & then disappear for a month and watch him get skinned alive in the media. Then just show up after his life is ruined and claim that you just needed some time alone. No law broken, but he will a pariah to the nation.

Go back a little further. The Rifleman or Marshal Dillon. Even if some high price lawyer gets him off the charge, you could still call him out into the streets and have a showdown with a draw. Because we all know the bad guys always lose those.

[yongamerica]

Oh, that is so sincere

[adian1-2009]

The suspect husband says that she told him that she was leaving to join another man. The implication, intended or not by the suspect, is that his wife had enough confidence in him --no fear at all-- to tell him the truth. If she had such good relation with him, presumably she intended no harm to her husband. And if she knows how to read or pays attention to the news, as well as her new companion, since there is no reason for them to cause harm to the abandoned husband, they would have come out to erase any suspicion surrounding the guy. But they haven''t. And you may add that he is not helping in the search of his wife, because he knows that she left of her own volition. If I am asked to bet, this gentleman does not help to search for his wife because he knows WHERE she IS and he knows HOW is she. He went public asking for her return, but he KNOWS that she is UNABLE to return.

"Savio was found in the bathtub, her hair soaked in blood from a head wound. A coroner''s jury ruled the 40-year-old''s death was an accidental drowning, even though there was no water in the bathtub."

They thought the water may have drained from the tub. The next question is "elementary my dear Watson". Was water found in her lungs? That coroners jury should be heading for the hills as fast as they can.

Please come back home from the land of the dead!

Dang. We should have kept this scenario to ourselves. Since Hollywood writers are on strike we could be making money as scabs by sending this as a scrip for the next episode of CSI.

Cop To Missing Wife: "Please Come Home"

- she can''t Drew, cause after you killed her she can''t come home till you bring her home.
Of course had you used a tazer . . . .

Posted by JetRanger7 - how bout the lady from "Murder She Wrote"?
She''d be perfect because:
1. A woman would solve the mystery;
2. It was on CBS.

[rowdytexan2]

Her family thinks she wouldn''t go off and leave her children...and that''s hard to imagine that to cause her husband she would abandon them even for a while, especially if she thinks he''s not safe.

Just a truly weird and sick situation either way it goes.

Here we go again, hey tucker? How did I not know that you would be here?

Is EVERY woman a BIMBO? You are a woman hater, aren''t you?

Also, is there any cop that can do anything wrong?

Your sentence should have read: "...even though it hasn''t been proven YET that he has done anything wrong." NOT "...even though he hasn''t done anything wrong."

You need help.

You interested in supporting a boyfriend on the side?

Sorry, If I was looking for a boyfriend, I would not find one that I argue with as much as we do.If I wanted another man to argue with, I would have kept my 1st husband. ;-)

[gdig60804]

Sometimes being selfish doesn''t pay off. Just because someone has money doesn''t give anyone the right to involve themselves in someone else''s marital disputes. Stacy took pleasure in taunting and harrassing Drew Peterson''s ex-wife according to family members. I''m not saying Drew Peterson is a nice man, or Stacy is a bad person. But, Stacy did have a good life with Drew on his ex-wifes expense. I feel sorry for all the children involved in all of this. I also hope Stacy is alive for her kids sake.

"The guy hasn''''t even been accused of anything and you have found him guilty (of ???)."

I haven''t said whether he is guilty or not guilty but YOU have. You have stated he ISN''T guilty when you don''t know whether he is or isn''t. He is classified as a suspect. You did the same on the other article.

"Defend him from what? I''''ve already said he''''s a moron (or words to that effect) for involving himself with a gold-digging bimbo (assuming that''''s what she is)."

What is really funny is how you say that I assumed he was guilty (which I have not) and yet you have said several times in other posts that the woman IS a BIMBO. How would you know that for a fact? Are you going by what he said, that his wife left him for another man? We don''t know that for a fact, do we?

You are the one that assumes TOO MUCH. First you say he ISN''T guilty, then you call her a bimbo. But then from reading your many, many, many posts, ALL women are bimbos and all cops are innocent, isn''t that right?

GET SOME HELP.

[janeyre-2009]

Well wife #3 can''t come home. Well they are having her body dug up. Wife #4 is somewhere out there. Didn''t he have a plane? He dumped the body in a body of water. They will never find her. He is one sick guy. Not even good looking, how did he get 4 women, to marry him? Most be some really desperate women in that location.

[erasmus6]

"The vast majority of women are bimbos."

"That''''s why I buy them houses, cars and give them money so they can buy their boyfriends presents."

OMG, you are a freakin'' LOSER! It is no wonder your wife left you. I''m thinking she made a wise choice, no one wants to be married to a loser.

These two statements only prove what I have been saying, YOU HATE WOMEN.


"You must work for them since you follow that same line of thinking, e.g., announcing suspects and people guilty despite the fact no crime was committed."

There you go again, saying that I said something I didn''t. You have a mental problem. I never said that I thought he was a suspect or that he was guilty. I said: "He is classified as a suspect." You are like someone else that posts on this website, that likes to twist and turn things that people say, into what THEY want it to say. YOU are a sickie.

You should really quit posting because the more you do, you just make yourself look like a bigger idiot. It is too bad you can''t see yourself, if you could you would realize how ill you are.
