Former Bolingbrook police officer Drew Peterson, named as a suspect in his fourth wife's disappearance, this morning disputed the findings of an independent pathologist that his third wife was murdered.

Or rather, his lawyer did.

In his second interview within five days on NBC's "Today" show, Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, did most of the talking, clearly frustrating interviewer Matt Lauer.

Drew Peterson said today he was "worried” about his missing wife Stacy but again maintained she has run away with another man.

Peterson, who has been named a suspect in his wife’s disappearance, was asked during an interview on NBC’s Today show if he was worried about Stacy.

"Well, of course," said Peterson. "Your wife leaves you. And I have three kids at home. And you’re very much worried about her," Peterson said.

Peterson also wanted Stacy, his fourth wife, to "publically show herself so we can clear all this up."

A confident Drew Peterson, who is a suspect in his fourth wife's disappearance, went toe-to-toe with a small army of reporters at his house Monday and called on his missing wife to come forward and "clear all this up."

Peterson said he was worried about his wife, saying "your wife leaves you and I have kids at home, you're very much worried about her."

"I'd like to have her publicly show herself so we can clear all this up," Peterson said.

Former Sergeant's Attorney: 'They're Not Going To Find Her In Bushes'
In an exclusive interview with NBC 5's Alex Perez, Drew Peterson said he feels like a victim of scrutiny and uninformed public opinion.

But Peterson now lets his attorney -- whom he found after putting out a call on the "Today Show" -- handle the tough questions.

It has been three weeks since Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, has vanished, and Peterson insists she left him for another man.

Of all the recent odd sights at the end of Bolingbrook's Pheasant Chase Court, one of the most surprising arrived in a shiny black jacket last week.

Greta Van Susteren.

The woman who attracts 1.4 million viewers nightly as host of Fox News' "On the Record" was hunched in Sharon Bychowski's kitchen, scratching a brown dachshund, Tootsie.

As a friend and next-door neighbor of Stacy Peterson—the mother of two whose disappearance has become the focus of massive searches and media coverage—Bychowski already had several brushes with fame, as evidenced by the Fox News salt and pepper shakers on her table and the navy blue "Good Morning America" baseball cap and T-shirt ensemble that lay on a nearby counter.

Drew Peterson's mom, Betty Morphey, had strong words Monday for Stacy Peterson, who she believes left Peterson and their two children and ran off with another man, as her son contends.

"I would tell her I'm ashamed of her for putting the family through this," Morphey said. "She knows where she is."

In a lengthy interview, Morphey, 79, spoke about how heartbreaking she finds the insinuation that her son would harm anyone. Stacy's family believes the young mother would never have left her two children and fear she is dead.

"I could swear on a Bible that he would never hurt anyone at any time," Morphey said. "I'm proud he's my son and I feel so bad he's got to go through all this because of her. She was just too young." There is a 30-year age difference between Drew and Stacy Peterson.

SPOKESWOMAN: DREW PETERSON'S TELEVISION APPEARANCES UPSET FAMILY OF HIS MISSING WIFE

BOLINGBROOK -- Drew Peterson retired from the police department but seems to have landed a recurring role on the "Today" show.

Peterson, the embattled former cop and husband of the missing Stacy Peterson, made his second guest appearance in a week Monday with Matt Lauer. Peterson, 53, was much less glib in his encore performance, staying mostly mum while his new lawyer, Joel Alan Brodsky, deflected Lauer's inquiries.

Drew Peterson's new lawyer Joel A. Brodsky may have come off as a bit overbearing in his appearance with his client on the "Today" show Monday morning, letting his client answer few of the questions posed to him.

But in his 25 years of practicing law, Brodsky has shown he can be a persuasive advocate.

When Brodsky, 50, got in trouble for forging a dead man's signature to cash a $23,000 check four years ago, he convinced the state board that disciplines lawyers to suspend his license a mere three months instead of the three years originally proposed.

Defense attorney Joseph Tacopina knows what Drew Peterson is trying to do by going on television time and again to proclaim his innocence in the disappearance of his wife and death of an ex-wife.

He knows the 53-year-old former Bolingbrook police sergeant is trying to battle growing suspicions being fed in the media by angry relatives, neighbors, an ex-wife and scathing words from the likes of television hosts John Walsh and Geraldo Rivera.

But he also believes comments Peterson made about his missing wife in interviews, combined with his behavior after she disappeared, could backfire.

Drew Peterson may have some legal problems related to his old job. Bolingbrook's police chief has said Peterson brought shame to everyone wearing a badge.

As soon as Wednesday, the chief said he will meet with prosecutors to review a series of department violations that the chief says may rise to a level of criminal conduct.
Bolingbrook's top cop, Raymond McGury, says Drew Peterson, 53, has brought disgrace and disdain on his department while soaking up the national spotlight as a suspect in his 23-year-old wife Stacy's disappearance. McGury says his former sergeant has demonstrated conduct unbecoming an officer.

Bolingbrook's chief of police lashed out Tuesday evening against former police sergeant Drew Peterson in a meeting to determine Peterson's future with the force. As CBS 2's Mai Martinez reports, it became official Tuesday – Peterson is off the force after his resignation was accepted.

The attorney for Bolingbrook's fire and police board said the board had no choice but to acknowledge Peterson's letter of resignation because state law does not allow them to not accept it. Peterson's former boss, however, was hoping the board would not accept Peterson's resignation because, in the chief's words, he wanted him fired.

"In my mind he has brought shame to this department," Bolingbrook Police Chief Raymond McGury said.

The woman who told Drew no
PETERSON CASE | 'A voice inside of me ... said there's something wrong'

November 21, 2007
BY STEFANO ESPOSITO Staff Reporter/

"Drew Peterson gave her an engagement ring.

Together, they picked out a china pattern.

In the end, though, Kyle Piry resisted the mature charms of a man who has persuaded four other women to become Mrs. Peterson. But rebuffing the Bolingbrook police officer in the early 1980s came with a price, Piry, 46, told the Chicago Sun-Times this week.

"He would follow me and stalk me after I broke up with him," Piry said. "He would pull me over on a Friday or Saturday night and give me tickets for stupid stuff, like bald tires. They were ridiculous things.""
 
WITH THE POLICE AND FIRE BOARD REFUSING TO HEAR THE RESULTS OF AN INTERNAL AFFAIRS PROBE, BOLINGBROOK'S TOP COP SAYS HE WILL TAKE HIS CASE TO STATE'S ATTORNEY JAMES GLASGOW.

BOLINGBROOK -- Police Chief Ray McGury can't fire Drew Peterson, so now he's trying to get him arrested.

The village's fire and police commission refused on Tuesday to hear McGury present the results of an internal investigation of Peterson, a former sergeant under suspicion for the disappearance of his fourth wife and the object of public scrutiny for the mysterious bathtub drowning of wife No. 3.
