December 11, 2007 (BOLINGBROOK, Ill.) -- A former police officer's missing wife once confided in a pastor that her husband admitted killing his third wife, according to a published report.

Former Westbrook Christian Church pastor Neil Schori told Fox News Channel's Greta Van Susteren that he was "reeling inside" after his conversation with Stacy Peterson.

Schori said he asked Peterson when they met in August at a coffee shop to clarify what she had said about her husband, Drew Peterson, and she responded, "'He killed Kathleen (Savio)."'

Drew Peterson is asking the public for financial help with his legal defense.
The former police sergeant who is a suspect in his wife's disappearance has set up a Web site to collect money from people who believe he deserves a defense without going broke.

Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, says any money collected on DefendDrew.com will go into a trust account over which Peterson will have no control.

A minister from Plainfield said on national TV on Monday night that as he counseled Stacy Peterson in the months before she disappeared, she told him her husband admitted killing his ex-wife Kathleen Savio.

Rev. Neil Schori, formerly of Westbrook Christian Church in Bolingbrook, said Stacy Peterson, 23, blurted out in a Bolingbrook coffee shop that "he did it," referring to her husband, Drew Peterson, 53, whose ex-wife was found dead in her bathtub in 2004. Savio's death was ruled an accidental drowning at the time, but her body recently was exhumed for a second autopsy. Those results have not been released.

Drew Peterson was in the master bedroom when the gun allegedly went off, according to the account Stacy gave her sister Cassandra Cales. The bullet allegedly pierced the floor and went into the garage below.

"She heard a pow. It scared her. She looked around the garage—she didn't know what it was," Cales told the Tribune on Tuesday. "Drew went down there. He picked up all the pieces and he never made a report [to police]. He patched the ceiling. Stacy showed me the hole. She peeled the carpet back and showed me where the hole was."
 
BOLINGBROOK — Drew Peterson called himself a media sensation after appearing on television. Now he’s shown he is too big for the Internet.

A Web site to collect contributions to Peterson’s defense fund was shut down by its hosting company within hours of its launch after massive traffic sucked up the majority of the host’s resources. The site, defenddrew.com, recorded nearly 300,000 hits in its first day, said a representative of the company, HostMonster.com.

Drew Peterson says a Web site established to raise money for his legal defense will be a test of the American people's generosity.

"I'm not asking them to decide guilt or innocence," Peterson said Tuesday of defend drew.com. "Everyone has the right for a legal defense."

Peterson, an ex-Bolingbrook cop, said his attorney Joel Brodsky set up the Web site, which accepts donations via PayPal.

CHICAGO -- While investigators continue to search for Stacy Peterson, who has been missing for almost two months, Drew Peterson fights to get some of his seized possessions returned.

Peterson's lawyers say that investigators have no right to indefinitely hold onto the items seized during a series of searches of the Peterson home more than a month ago. The property that was confiscated includes 11 guns, two vehicles, computers, knives, rugs, iPods and some compact discs.

State's Attorney Calls Petition An Attempt To Pry Into Investigation

BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) ― Attorneys for Drew Peterson were in court Wednesday morning to try to get investigators to return his property.

As CBS 2's Kristyn Hartman reports, investigators seized a variety of items from Peterson's home under a search warrant. Now the former Bolingbrook police sergeant wants his personal property back, so he and his attorney, Joel Brodsky, went to court Wednesday to fight for it.

The items belonging to Peterson that were taken when the search warrant was executed included a 2005 GMC sport-utility vehicle, a 2002 Pontiac coupe, and firearms seized from his home.

The office of Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow calls Peterson's motion little more than an effort on Peterson's part to try to learn what police might be developing in the investigation into the disappearance of his fourth wife.

A Will County Circuit Court judge said today that he will decide Monday whether to grant Drew Peterson's request to have his two vehicles, 11 firearms and other items seized by police returned to him.

At a 20-minute hearing, Presiding Judge Daniel Rozak listened to arguments from the defense and prosecution before saying he would study case law before rendering a verdict.

Defense attorney John Carroll, who has joined Joel Brodsky in representing Peterson, a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, told Rozak that police have had sufficient time to analyze the seized property and that authorities are withholding the items to vex Peterson.

BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) ― People eager to contribute to Drew Peterson's legal defense will just have to wait. His lawyer is shutting down the Web site for donations saying their short-term goal has been met.

Defenddrew.com is shut down Wednesday, little more than 24 hours after it launched seeking money to help pay Drew Peterson's legal bills as a suspect in the disappearance of his wife, Stacy.

Drew Peterson's lawyer, Joel Brodsky, will not say how much money the site took in but in a statement said "Sgt. Peterson is overwhelmed by the support shown by the American people for the principle of equal and fair justice for everyone."

This news comes one day after CBS 2 broke the story that shots were fired inside the Peterson home months before Stacy Peterson disappeared. Her sister is talking about the incident.

Drew Peterson on Wednesday said a gunshot in his home in the summer resulted from his wife, Stacy, accidentally firing the handgun he gave her as a present. "It was an accidental discharge—in my home by Stacy," Peterson said in an interview at their Bolingbrook home. "She had a fascination with guns. I bought her a Glock for Valentine's [Day]—because nothing says I love you like a Glock. That was our joke."

JOLIET — Drew Peterson must wait until Monday to find out if his guns and cars will be returned to him.

Police seized the items Nov. 1 from his home during the search for Stacey Peterson, the retired police officer’s missing wife. The 23-year-old mother of two hasn’t been seen since Oct. 28.

Although a team of four lawyers went to court Wednesday morning to ask for the items, Will County Judge Dan Rozak said he would take a few days to consider the request and would announce his decision at 9:30 a.m. Monday.

BOLINGBROOK -- Stacy Peterson allegedly had a thing for the preacher saying she told him her husband killed his ex-wife.

"All I know for sure is, Stacy had a big crush on him," Drew Peterson said of the minister his wife supposedly confided in before disappearing nearly seven weeks ago.

"Every time she went to see him, she was all dolled up, all sexied up," Peterson said.

The preacher, Neil Schori, has said Stacy revealed to him Drew Peterson confessed to killing his ex-wife, Kathleen Savio, the day after she mysteriously died in March 2004. She reportedly dropped the bombshell on Schori during an August get-together in a coffee shop.

Drew Peterson said Wednesday that his missing wife, Stacy, had "a big crush" on the Naperville pastor who says she confided to him incriminating statements her husband made about a previous wife's death.

"Every time she went to see him, she was all dolled up, all sexied up," Drew Peterson said of Stacy Peterson's visits to pastor Neil Schori. "All I know for sure is, Stacy had a big crush on him."

Schori said earlier this week that Stacy Peterson told him in August that Drew Peterson confessed he had killed his ex-wife Kathleen Savio. Savio's March 2004 death was first ruled an accidental bathtub drowning, but authorities reopened the investigation after Stacy Peterson disappeared Oct. 28.

Has anyone seen this yet? If it's been posted, I apologize.

"Former LAPD homicide detective Mark Fuhrman has picked up on a clue, a clue that the rest of us missed. Now, this could be a very damning piece of evidence in the investigation into how Sergeant Peterson's wife number three died in the bathtub and who did it."

The mysterious blue container at the center of the Drew Peterson investigation may be one of three that the former police sergeant and a close friend bought from a cable installation company four years ago, ABC News has learned.

A search warrant issued last week for Peterson's two vehicles mentions "blue plastic" and "scuff marks" left by a "large storage container," lending credence to reports that investigators think Peterson, 53, might have loaded into his SUV a blue container holding the body of his 23-year-old wife, Stacy, who disappeared from their Bolingbrook, Ill., home Oct. 28. Drew Peterson is a suspect in her disappearance, but he has not been charged.

For several hours a day, Cassandra Cales retreats to the place where she feels most in control and able to express herself while the search for her sister drags through its second month with much fanfare, but little progress.

She logs on to her computer.

There, Cales, 22, pores over thousands of messages written by strangers about her sister, Stacy Peterson, 23, whose image has been beamed to television screens around the planet since she was last seen on Oct. 28. At the Web site findstacypeterson.com, Cales enjoys celebrity status among the 1,600 registered users (from as far as Australia) who have posted nearly 27,000 messages during the past four weeks.
