IL IL - Christie Cales, 40, Blue Island, 11 March 1998

[browneyedgirl]

The only thing that has been recorded was the Bible and purse. She and Stacy's dad were already divorced when she disappeared.

I am curious about who was the person who last saw her, and knew what she had with her? I guess one of the family members would know that.

Hi Tom'sGirl, I am curious about those things as well.

I was meaning when she had left before and came back home. It think it was something like 2 or 3 different times she had left before the time she left and dissappeared for good.

Hmmm --> What about this bar that DP owned in the 90's? I'm trying to see where it was located -- and maybe if this could be a connection between DP & Christie Cales.

I'm still thinking there could be a possibility that DP knew Christie Cales -- either directly or by association. Who knows... maybe DP met Stacy years ago and kept her under his eye until the mom disappeared. So I looked up a few places that we knew he frequented in the 90's when Christie disappeared...

From the pub/bar that DP owned with wife #3 (Kathleen) -- it was located in Montgomery, which is 20.12 miles west of BB.

From the print shop that DP owned with wife #3 -- it was located north of BB about 15.03 miles if being located in Lombard is correct.

And Blue Island where Christie (Stacy's mom) went missing from -- it is 26.64 miles away from BB going southeast.


What's everyones thoughts on if they knew each other?

Christie's family and friends seem to think that overwhelming grief from losing 2 children is the reason she left and never came back.

Her babies died in 1982 and 1987. She waited a long time to abandon her surviving kids. She left for periods of time but always returned.
If she planned to leave for good, she would've taken some personal belongings with her other than a Bible.

Kathleen Savio stated that within 5 yrs of her marriage to DP (in 1992), she began receiving letters about DP having an affair. The article I read said that the letters referred to Stacey. Five years would have been 1997. Stacey would have been 13 yrs old. I wonder who sent those letters to Kathleen.

Early 1998, Stacey's mom disappears. Is it possible that DP started pursuing Stacey when she was only 13 and her mother forbade DP to see her young daughter so he made her disappear?? Could that be why speaks with such disdain for Christie? There is no proof, other than DP's word that they started dating when she was 17. That's when they went public with it.

Ric Mims said DP insinuated that Stacey was promiscuos when she was younger. He supposedly met her when she was 17, they married when she was 17, so how did he know what her younger yrs were like? Unless he knew her during those years!!! And it is likely that he's lying anyway to make her look bad and him look like a victim of a loose, young wife.

This is what I have been saying all along. Altho...the reason he went public with it was to insinuate the affair had just begun when she was 17 to avoid facing statuatory rape charges or sexual molestation of a minor child charges.

Cakegirl, you bring up some excellent points in your posts. And yes, i believe they knew each other or atleast DP knew Christie.


Another possibility...Maybe DP crossed paths with Stacey Cales in 1997 when Anthony Cales moved himself and the kids back to IL ...

If Stacey had a secret relationship with DP she may have confided in him that her mom was in and out of their lives. We can all tell that DP has issues with women. He may have been acting as Stacey's protector in his own sick mind and eliminated Christie from popping in and out of his new, young love interest's life. Being only 13 or 14, Stacey wouldn't have thought DP had anything to do with it.

Been wondering about this...The missing persons sites say that Christie left home saying she was going to church and that her family never saw her again.

Well, according to the timeline at http://www.acandyrose.com/stacy_peterson_recap.htm

it indicates that Christina (Tina), was in foster care and Anthony had physical custody of the other kids, (Stacey, Cassandra and Yelton) so what family did Christie leave (as in who did she live with??) Who said she left clutching her Bible?

Linda Cales, Stacy's stepmom until 2002, speaks about Christie and Anthony Cales.

http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/heraldnews/news/638131,4_1_JO07_MISSING_S2.article

...But it wasn't a father figure Stacy was seeking, Linda Cales said, at least not a father like her own.
"The abuse was there," she said. "He would want to discipline the kids and spank them when he was drunk. He would say things to the girls like, 'You better be nothing like your *advertiser censored* mom.'" It's been nearly 10 years since Stacy's mother, Christie Cales, has been heard from. She seemingly disappeared without a trace. But in the early years of Anthony and Linda Cales' marriage, Christie was still around

Don't know much about Anthony Cales but a Google search of the name listed several sites for small aircrafts and flying related topics.

Could be a different Anthony Cales. Quite a Coincidence though, huh.

snip...

When Drew Peterson and Savio met in the early 1990s, he was the Romeo boyfriend who surprised her with a Valentine's Day trip to Jamaica, one relative recalled. But five or so years into the marriage, Savio began to receive anonymous letters saying her husband was cheating on her, said the relative, who didn't want to be named.

This is why I believe he met Stacy earlier than he said.

I don't want to sound like I'm making accusations, but I think it may be worth seeing what Anthony Cales is all about. Instead of DP meeting Christie, it is possible he got to know Anthony. DP was a heavy drinker with a history of domestic violence. He told his daughters not to grow up and be like their "*advertiser censored* mother". He obviously had animosity toward Christie.

Linda, Anthony's wife from 1996-2002, said she felt that Anthony should have stepped in when Drew started pursuing Stacy. The 2 men are the same age. Most father's would have nipped that romance in the bud immediately.

 

[Littledeer]

Has anyone been able to find any articles in the newspaper when Christine went missing?? You would think there would be at least one article when the family first notified LE that she was missing.

Might have more information in it. I've tried, but not getting anyway fast due to slow modem line, etc.

We need to back peddle on this and maybe we can find something that will definately tie DP knowing Christie prior to her going missing.

I AM A STRONG BELEIVER THAT HE DID and possibly might even have something to do with her disappearance.

 

[englishleigh]

Is it possible Drew and Christie were romantically involved? Maybe that's how he met Stacy. He might have killed Christie b/c of his own relationship with her, and then the thing with Stacy began later.

 

[Littledeer]

That would certinaly fit his MO, wouldn't it English??

 

[englishleigh]

That would certinaly fit his MO, wouldn't it English??

From everything we've learned, yes! I just wonder if maybe Christie was too old for him, b/c after all he was only a FEW years older.

 

[Littledeer]

But sometimes you need to use someone else to get to the one you really want.

So maybe he was seeing Christine so he could be closer to Stacy and start infiltrating himself to her. I know far fetched, but this guy is nuts anyways.

 

[mssheila]

With all the news about Stacy, her DAUGHTER, who is considered missing, or even murdered:

I can only theorized two possibilities:

1.) If she did indeed leave because of the stress of losing two daughters, one in 1982, and one in 1987, YET, DOESN'T TAKE OFF UNTIL 1998???? (6 years after the last daughter's death)?? That possibly this lastest information, if she is alive, has sent her over the edge.

2.) She is unaware of Stacy's disappearance, because she
herself is no longer alive.

I honestly can't fathom any other possibilites. Anyone else??

Hi Littledeer. This is where I get stuck too. That's a really long time period- between the death of her last daughter and taking off.... That's 11 years. I don't get why people are saying that she took off "after the loss of her second daughter"..... when there's an 11 year time spread.

 

[curiositycat]

This is true. There was a case recently of that sweet little 9 year old girl that was raped and killed by her mom's boyfriend. I have noticed that pedophiles use relationships with women to get closer to their victims

But sometimes you need to use someone else to get to the one you really want.

So maybe he was seeing Christine so he could be closer to Stacy and start infiltrating himself to her. I know far fetched, but this guy is nuts anyways.

Can't say I'm all that impressed with Dad. Telling his daughters not to be *advertiser censored* like their mother is not good parenting, and no doubt did psychological damage in my opinion. It is odd that Stacy's mom also went missing. Do we know for certain when Stacy and DP met? Do we even know if Christie and DP ever met?

 

[KOOL LOOK]

This is what I've been thinking and wondering for a while. Did Drew meet Christie, have something to do with her disappearance also? I mean, the time frame is to close to the time he supposedly met and was dating, seeing Stacey. He would want to get the opposing parent, mother, out of the way if she was against the relationship. I would be my noodles this mother would be opposed of her dear living daughter messing her life up and getting involved with a married unfaithful abusive husband out stalking and preying on her bright future, college bound daughter.

I would be if it was my daughter and me. It's just too many coinincidences. She's missing tooooo! I think this needs to be looked at and investigated. Not to believe anything Drew would say about this. Did they meet?

Why hasn't her mother come forward? Did the ex-husband get Drew to get rid of her, being the ugly mean things he has been confirmed of saying about her, even after her disappearance. It seems cruel to say about a person, especially if you believe they left under durest as is reported even by him and the family. Maybe this getting rid of wives, started with Drew and this ex, something just isn't right here at all in my eyes.

We need some confirmations as to how drew fits into this family at and prior to Christie missing. This is exactly the same scenerios as wife number 3 and 4, right? I smell a stinking rat.

We now have proof positive of his controlling obsessive, violent behaviors. He really had no business beating the wife number 2's daughter into her teenage years. She should have been corrected by the mother.

Another thing that struck me, his friend Rick's statements about how overly well behaved all his children are. How immaculate and clean his house always is and in order. This man has all the landmarks of a conniving stalking abuser and murderer. We know he's already murdered. Stalked, controlled, abused, used innocent weaker people than himself. Had the cover of his badge and le. This is abuse of his position and authority. This man is going down.

But it doesn't need to stop with just one wife. He's harmed many many many. Especially the females in his life, all the way to the children, and possibly the boys, it needs to be looked at.
