Peterson's lawyer welcomes arrival of FBI in search for client's missing wife

"The lawyer for a former Bolingbrook police sergeant Monday hailed the arrival of the FBI in the search for the man's missing wife and said he hoped it would end the "witch hunt" against his client.

"I have no problem with them being involved," said attorney Joel Brodsky, who has been retained by Drew Peterson as authorities investigate the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, 23, and the 2004 drowning of his third wife.

FBI agents "are usually very intelligent, dedicated young men and women who could make a lot of money doing something else," Brodsky said. "I'm sure they're going to give this [investigation] a fresh look, and my hope is that this will move from the witch hunt that it has become and go back to a missing person case."

Brodsky would not identify who he believed was leading the witch hunt, saying only that "people can draw their own conclusions.""

Cales asked her sister about it, who said it was a 30-gallon drum of chlorine they needed to clean their pool. Now, sources say, that barrel is missing, and police want to know why.
