Drew Peterson's attorney said Thomas Morphey's wife disappeared 10 years ago.

http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/i_vi...er500202.shtml

I don't believe a word Drew's attorney says. Last night on Greta the attorney said Thomas Morphey had tried suicide "many" times in the past and was not reliable. While he was on TV saying that, Greta got an email from Thomas Morphey's sister who said that was a blatant lie. He had never tried suicide before. I'm not even sure they think this was a suicide attempt as opposed to an accidential overdoes. I'm thinking that he was on anti-depressant drugs and was so distraught after moving the container that he started drinking and it didn't mix with the anti-depressants well. I also think that Drew Peterson was hoping Morphey would go off the wagon and start talking crazy, so he could lay the blame on him at some point. Especially if Thomas' DNA was found on the container if Stacey was ever found.

Brodsky says no order of protection was taken out. Doesn't he ever read Websleuths????? Seriously though. Check out your clients background before you defend him?

CROSS POST - BARREL NEWS:

"A friend of the relative of Drew Peterson who has said that he fears he helped the former Bolingbrook police sergeant dispose of Stacy Peterson's body is saying that Peterson paid for that assistance."

More at link: http://www.nbc5.com/news/14735158/de...l?dl=mainclick

I will cross post this to the general discussion and the barrel threads.

Could someone expand a little more on what Brodsky said?

Actually in the Today Show interview with Walter, Merdith stated that Tom had gone to Walters house at a quarter to 10. But it wasn't stated AM or PM or Sunday or Monday. And Walter, IIRC, only said it was possible that Tom was paid for his help.

I was thinking of contacting Greta to have her check this out as I too saw Greta last night and Thomas' sister refute his claims Thomas has attempted suicide multiliple times. As this info goes, I was even thinking she may have moved to a different town and Thomas probably knows full well where she is. Drew doesn't know where she is so he may have thought he could get away with his attorney throwing this spin out.

I also saw where Thomas' friend said he saw him at 10:00 and he'd been drinking. I was wondering if DP wasn't supplying him with the drink on purpose, to get to him.

I believe I read this morning somewhere? That Thomas' friend said the reason he attempted suicide was because then his family would be safe (from DP, I assume).

JMHO

The same stuff he's been saying the last two days except he mentioned that Tom as three active warrants that he's not been arrested for and that he (Brodsky) found out yesterday that Tom's wife disappeared 10 years ago.

Where is this information? I don't see it in my sources. I still don't know if I can post Morphy's arrest record? Can someone help me out and let me know if it's copastetic to do so?

PM the mods. I would say it's public record. And I think his record is his best defense against Drew and Brodsky at this point. Sheesh, I bet I'll never say that again about anyone with a rap sheet. How often does a rap sheet help someone?

Well he's got a lot of domestic violence incidents on there and one DUI NOTHING like what Brodsky is trying to smear him with. I don't see ANY warrants there, but maybe there's something on there that I don't see or hasn't hit public record yet...

dee10134 · #**161** 11-30-2007, 01:21 PM

There was also an order of protection filed 1-1-1993 against him by a Janet M. Burbank. I wonder if that was his wife?

ETA: it was filed at the DuPage County Clerk's office in Wheaton, IL.

Do you see his Wife's name on anything you have, so we can see if she's living, missing, dead?

I'm sure he did help Drew. No doubt in my mind. But......he tried to commit suicide the next day & I'm not so certain he never knew it was her all along & he helped Drew.

I don't think it's been explained how TM knew it was Stacy in the box. But, back on page 6 I posted my opinion in detail. I think that during the time DP and TM were in the coffee shop that Sunday night, DP told Tm that Stacy had left him, had been having an affair with Scott Rossetto, had asked DP for a divorce, etc. Maybe DP even expressed anger about Stacy. So the subject of Stacy is on TM's mind. After picking up that container and the container feeling warm to the touch, he immediately thinks "a body" and remembers DP's story of Stacy leaving him and puts two and two together. The next day his suspicions are confirmed with the report that Stacy is missing and he attempts suicide.

fran · #**165** 11-30-2007, 01:29 PM

This may be why Thomas' friend was so emotional in his interview the other day. This is a guy who got in trouble years previously, has been trying to get his life together, just lost his job, and now he has a step-brother dragging him into his evil ways, trying to put suspicion on him and having his mouth-piece disparge him before the entire country!

IMO, DP will stop at NOTHING to get his way!

Where is Stacy, Drew?

SuziQ · #**166** 11-30-2007, 01:31 PM

I wish we knew for sure what time Tom confessed to Walter. I tend to believe that it was immediately after Drew dropped him off. 11PMi ish on the 28th. So that would be before Stacy was reported missing. But other outlets have confused AM with PM

Didn't DP say something to TM about helping to 'get rid of his problem?'

IMO, it was after moving the box, TM went home and THOUGHT about it, and realized what he just MAY have done.

I honestly feel sorry for him. He's been dragged into this by his 'evil' step-brother.

Well, if anyone has a tv guide for that time period, it was during the 7th inning of a World Series game. IIRC, his friend said 10:00.

Does that help?

Peterson relative defended by friend
Pal says relative was allegedly paid by cop
By Matthew Walberg and Erika Slife |Tribune staff reporters
November 30, 2007
This is a new article that answers or addresses alot of the most recent questions.
"Drew Peterson allegedly paid a relative to help him move a large rectangular container from a bedroom Oct. 28, the day that his wife, Stacy Peterson, disappeared from their Bolingbrook home, a friend of the relative said Thursday.

Walter Martineck, 40, of Bolingbrook, told the Tribune that on Oct. 29, Drew Peterson's relative tried to get rid of the money he said was payment for helping Drew Peterson remove the plastic tub. Drew Peterson's relative wanted to give it to Martineck, he said. Hours later, the relative allegedly tried to commit suicide, and Martineck said he went to the state police with his friend's story."

And no missing person report on her that I can see. Is Brodsky spouting off more BS?

Ten years ago would have been 1997. See any marriage records?

We do need to find out if Brodsky is blowing smoke or if this is true. Although, I think we realize that his camp will do or say anything by now...if they can't come up with anything to back this up...it will be huge. This is an insinuation that Tom has something to do with another missing person, imo. That is pretty serious.

I did notice Brodsky backed away from saying that Tom had previous suicide attempts after the scathing letter last night from Tom's sister denying those attempts in her email to Greta.

Couldn't you see Drew saying, "I helped you, so you have to help me..."

I think Brodsky is a loose cannon and stupid to boot!!

How do we know that DP didn't 'disappear' Tom's missing wife too? He's the only sociopath that we know of in the bunch. Now he's tied to THREE missing women: Stacy, her mother Christie, and his step-brother's wife.

Maybe Tom told his wife something about DP's dirty business dealings or worse that DP couldn't have getting out.. Tom was probably a sidekick during the 80's.

His exact quote:

JOEL BRODSKY: "We've learned as of yesterday that Tom Morphey's wife vanished ten years ago and hasn't been seen since."
