Cop To Missing Wife: "Please Come Home"

(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.

"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.

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.

"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.

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.

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. ;-)

"What if they are both con artists playing the system?" posted by tuckerndfw

It is actually quite scary, the scenarios you will come up with to defend a fellow cop.

"And, he has been suspended from his job without pay, so he is all ready paying the price even though he hasn''''t done anything.

(other than getting involved with the wrong bimbo)"

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.

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.

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.
