FATAL VOWS: The Tragic Wives of Sergeant Drew Peterson
|
DescriptionDrawing upon exclusive interviews with Stacys friends and family and even Drew himself, Chicago area reporter Joseph Hosey presents the most researched account of the Stacy Peterson case yet. Still, as the charges against Drew Peterson mount, one haunting question remains: Where on earth is Stacy…In October 2007, 23 year old Stacy Peterson vanished from the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook, leaving behind her husband and children. Retired Police Sergeant Drew Peterson, thirty years Stacys senior, steadfastly asserted his innocence and maintained that his wife had simply fled their tumultuous marriage and run off with another man. Throngs of journalists and camera crews besieged Petersons quiet suburban culdesac, but the ex cop seemed to relish in this newfound limelight. As exhaustive searches for Stacys body turned up nothing and suggestive clues led nowhere, questions were raised about their unusual marriage, about Stacys past vocal concerns for her safety, and about Drew Petersons bizarre public behavior in the wake of Stacys disappearance. Then in February 2008 came a startling development. After a second autopsy, the unusual death of Petersons third wife, Kathleen Savio, was ruled a homicide. Three and a half years earlier, Savio had been found dead in the bathtub of their home, but in light of Stacys curious disappearance, Kathleens body was exhumed and the case was reopened. Two of Drew Petersons four wives, it appeared, had met untimely fates tragic and unexpected but hardly coincidental. JOSEPH HOSEY has been a reporter for the Chicago area's Herald News since 1999 and has been on the cusp of every major development in the Drew Peterson case. He is the only member of the media to cover Kathleen Savio's inquest, having broken the stories of her death and, later, the disappearance of Stacy Peterson.
