On the day she vanished, Stacy Peterson sounded depressed and lethargic during a phone call, a family friend on Thursday told the grand jury investigating her disappearance.

Bruce Zidarich spoke briefly on the telephone with Peterson at about 10:15 a.m. on Oct. 28 -- the day the 23-year-old Bolingbrook mom went missing from the home she shared with her husband, two sons and two stepsons.

The validity of some important documents is being questioned in the complex saga involving ex-Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, his missing wife Stacy, and his deceased wife, Kathleen Savio.

In 2002, Drew Peterson wanted to buy a house for himself and his 18-year-old girlfriend, Stacy Cales. But he hit a big roadblock: He needed estranged wife Savio to sign off on the deal.

CHICAGO — The former police sergeant who remains a suspect in his 24-year-old wife's disappearance told FOX News on Friday that he grieves over her absence and tells their kids she's on vacation.

"You do what you can," Drew Peterson said outside his Bolingbrook, Ill., home. "I'm not going to hide in the corner and cry about it. I personally grieve over it, but I do that all on my own."

Tonight, breaking news on the south side of Chicago. Frozen human remains have been found near a blue barrel. A worker, a local worker conducting routine soil samples found skeleton remains this afternoon in the 3400 block of South Kedzie Avenue. That is just south of the Chicago sanitary and ship canal.

However, Gretawire reports that there may not have been a blue barrel and this may not be Stacy at all.

Anderson Cooper Transcript 1-25-07
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0801/25/acd.01.html

ANDERSON COOPER: Our CNN affiliate WLS Chicago is also reporting that a blue garbage can was found near the area. Now, this is the video of the area from WLS. You can see some police vehicles there. The body again was found earlier today.

It has now been transported to the medical examiner's office, where an autopsy has been scheduled

*SNIP*

ANDERSON COOPER: Lisa, you have obviously been follow thing case really from the beginning. Why is that blue barrel so crucial?

LISA BLOOM, TRUTV ANCHOR: It's absolutely crucial because this relative of Drew Peterson's reported on the very day that Stacy Peterson went missing, 23 years old, mother of two little kids and who told people that she told him a couple days before she was going to divorce him, the stepbrother says that he helped Drew Peterson move a blue barrel warm to the touch into his car and Drew Peterson then drove off with it.

This stepbrother then apparently so conscience-stricken that a day or two later he attempted suicide. Now, Drew Peterson and his attorney say that shows that he's mentally unstable and not a reliable witness. But that's been an important lead. And volunteer searchers over the last 12 weeks have been told by police to look for a blue barrel. That's been in all the search warrant affidavits, to look for fibers or residues connected with blue plastic.

So, the fact that so far this does seem to match the hair color, the size of the body, the fact that it's female, and the blue barrel, very, very intriguing information.

BOLINGBROOK -- Who needs Steve Dahl anyway.

Not Drew Peterson apparently, as the mysterious Ashley, a young woman who propositioned him for a date through a note left on his mailbox sent another missive Thursday.

Peterson, who was bounced from a dating game-style appearance on Dahl's radio show, said a newer Oldsmobile carrying two women and a man pulled up to his house. The man got out and hand delivered the note.

Thought the hoopla surrounding Drew Peterson was bound to die down? You probably haven't looked on eBay, where online auctions to purchase Peterson-related paraphernalia have begun.

Would-be buyers have their choice of Peterson's old window frames, the Dec. 3 issue of People magazine with Peterson on the cover, and several of the weekly tabloids that include Peterson in their coverage. Starting price: 99 cents. Shipping and handling not included.

We got our windows replaced earlier this month, and I just thought as a joke it would be funny to put them on eBay to see if there are obsessed people because of all the media attention it's been getting," said Brian Lajewski, 34, who lives in a Bolingbrook house that Peterson once shared with his third wife, Kathleen Savio, who died mysteriously in 2004. "It pokes fun at different people who would want to buy it."

Attorney Fears Writer May Be Out To Kill Former Cop

It's not all love notes and anonymous letters about his missing wife's whereabouts appearing in Drew Peterson's mailbox. Peterson received a racist death threat while he and his family were away for the weekend, and now his attorney fears his client might be the target of a deranged assailant.

"You tell me a guy who writes a letter like this wouldn't try to kill Drew?" said the attorney, Joel Brodsky, who quickly added, "But Drew's not afraid."

BOLINGBROOK -- Drew Peterson worked a lot of cases over the course of his 29-year career with the local police department.

Most of them he enjoys talking about, and he spins particularly expansive anecdotes about his time as an undercover narcotics officer. But there is a case Peterson does not want to discuss. It's that of Rachel Mellon, a 13-year-old girl who disappeared from her home 12 years ago today.

"Yeah, I worked on that," he said. And he stops right there.

Family Of Drew Peterson's 3rd Wife Say Her Estate Was Mishandled

BOLI NGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) ― Former Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson is about to face another legal battle, this time involving the family of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Savio's relatives just hired a big-name New York lawyer. CBS 2 West Suburban Bureau Chief Mike Puccinelli has an exclusive report on a new lawsuit.

It's a 40-page document that lays the groundwork for Savio's family to sue former Peterson in civil court. On page three it says, "your petitioners are prepared to initiate a wrongful death cause of action against drew Peterson on behalf of the estate of Kathleen Savio" whose death the document goes on to say " was not an accident and it was not suicide."

The family of Drew Peterson's third wife wants to wrest her estate from his control and give it to the couple's two sons.

The petition to reopen the estate of the third wife, Kathleen Savio, also alludes to an impending wrongful death lawsuit against Peterson.

We'll see what goes here," said Savio's sister, Anna Marie Doman. "If it flies from here, that's the direction we'll go."

The man leading them in the this direction is the same attorney who helped take O.J. Simpson for $33.5 on behalf of his dead wife Nicole Brown Simpson's family.

Joliet lawyer Lawrence Varsek filed a motion to allow New York City attorney John Quinlan Kelly to come on board for Savio's family.

JOLIET, Ill. -- A judge says he'll let Drew Peterson's attorney call an expert to testify about why authorities should return cars, guns and other items seized from the former police officer.

Peterson is a suspect in the disappearance of his wife, Stacy, but has not been charged in the case.

A hearing is ongoing to determine whether authorities can continue to hold the items taken in November.

A Will County judge will hear Friday afternoon from a forensic expert brought in to testify on behalf of Drew Peterson in his quest to regain possession of his seized vehicles, firearms and other property.

Judge Richard Schoenstedt granted the request Friday morning, noting that he had heard secret testimony this week from investigators probing the Oct. 28 disappearance of Peterson's wife, Stacy.

"I don't believe the state should be the only one to present facts," Schoenstedt said. "I believe I should, and I will, hear from this witness to give the defense an opportunity to present what they believe this court should do."

JOLIET, Ill. -- A judge rejected a prosecutor's contention Friday that authorities can indefinitely hold guns, cars and other items taken from the home of a former police officer suspected in the disappearance of his wife.

Will County Judge Richard Schoenstedt did not order prosecutors to return the items seized in November during the execution of a search warrant at Drew Peterson's home.

But, he told them, "I don't believe as I sit here today the words 'pending investigation' was meant to convey 'forever,"' when it comes to how long the items can remain in authorities' possession.
