Peterson Won't Get His Guns, Cars Back

A judge is denying a former Bolingbrook police officer's request to have items including 11 guns and two cars returned after they were seized during the search for his missing wife.

Drew Peterson's lawyers had hoped a judge would rule in his favor Monday. But the request was denied.

The weapons and cars were among a series of items that were taken by investigators searching for 23-year-old Stacy Peterson who vanished in late October.

Peterson is a suspect in her disappearance.

Meanwhile, Peterson's lawyer says he wants a special prosecutor to look into leaks from a grand jury convened in the case.

Attorney Joel Brodsky calls the leaks about his client, Drew Peterson, "prodigious to say the least."

The Will County grand jury has been hearing what is meant to be sealed testimony in the investigation of Stacy Peterson's disappearance in late October. Many details have appeared in media reports, often attributed to unnamed sources.

Brodsky says he doesn't blame prosecutors but wonders if details are coming from someone on the grand jury or others involved in the investigation.

Over the weekend, the search of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal for Stacy Peterson was sparked by cell phone records that indicated that Drew Peterson was near there when he received an anxious call from his sister-in-law, Cassandra Cales, a source said, according to CBS News station WBBM-TV.

Cales has said she called Drew Peterson's cell phone about 11 p.m. Oct. 28. Stacy Peterson was last seen that morning. Cales said Peterson sounded out of breath and said he was at his home. But Cales said she was outside his house and he was not there.

The search of the canal floor, however, did not yield much other than removing abandoned cars from the waterway, said a police source involved in the investigation, reports WBBM.
