Police Misconduct??

[SuziQ]

My thought was this..if Steve and the girl he cheated on were living with Stacy and Drew at the time of KS's death, someone needs to find that girl.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. She might have some useful info.

Great idea!

 

[RandyMucha]

I respect your opinion and I think talking to anyone that used to live in that house would be a great idea for investigators. I am not sure if Sharon was correct when she said Steves girlfriend lived there but its worth looking into.

Bank Records: Drew Peterson Funneled $250G to Son After Wife's Disappearance



BOLINGBROOK, Ill. — Ex-police sergeant Drew Peterson transferred nearly a quarter of a million dollars to his son in the weeks after the disappearance of his wife, Stacy Peterson, in November, MyFoxChicago.com reports.
Prosecutors subpoenaed bank records that show Drew Peterson funneled the money to his son, Steve Peterson, an Oak Brook, Ill., police officer, after Stacy Peterson was reported missing on Oct. 28.

More at the link.

This seems to coberate what Mims said. Although I don't recall him specifying who got the money. He may have, I just don't recall it.

 

[RandyMucha]

I can't speak to that. I can speculate that he possibly wanted someone to have access to funds in case he needed to post bond, or maybe to take care of the kids in case he landed in jail.

It was reported very early in this case, that DP wrote a check for $200K to Steve the day he picked up the kids to have them stay at his house.

It's no wonder the GJ called Steve multiple times!:slap:

JMHO

PS...I don't think it was any accident that Steve appeared before the GJ in his official police uniform. It's more likely the GJ would believe a police officer over say an ordinary citizen.......fran

If anyone watched Greta tonight (12/14/07), Sharon B was on talking about the Savio case and right at the very end she mentioned something about Steve cheating on someone named Jennifer. Sounded like his girlfriend.

So if I heard everything right, sounds like cheating runs in the family...

Ok this is weird.

#5 Does DP have a girlfriend?
#6 If he does is she young and does she have Blonde hair
#7 If yes to the girlfriend Is her name JENNY

So can Steve Peterson be honest in his testimony to the GJ? He would have a lot to lose if he were involved, or knew something. He's in a tough spot, I think it would be hard to go against your father. Could the reason for DP transferring the $ is to "buy" his testimony? I hope he does the right thing- if he knows anything.

I take it this is another "psychic vision".

Uhm...not in this case!! However, I am sure Steve would like to think so.

Posting Bail was exactly my thought when I read about such a sum of money being given to Steve. Drew thinks about himself first and his children are secondary. :furious:

 

[DeltaDawn]

Well if Steve did live with Stacy and Drew at the time of Kathleen's murder then LE should speak with his girlfriend to see if she also noticed or heard anything around the time of Kathleen's death.

As far as the money Drew gave Steve we have known through Ric Mims about that transaction early in the case. I think that was money Drew gave Steve to either bail him out and hire an attorney if he was arrested.
Which makes sense combined with his comments that the children will be taken care of, etc at that time.

 

[TGIRecovered]

I wonder if Drew also thought of the possibility that his bank accounts could be temporarily frozen , considering that his wife was gone and the accounts could be joint.

If he had been arrested early on or if Stacy's body had been found, would Stacy's estate be able to keep him from accessing the money for his personal use?

While I am not sure about this case, in another case where the man killed his wife in front of witnesses...he was able to use "her" inheritance for his defense as they didn't freeze his accounts. He used every dime of it and had to be declared a "pauper" for his appeals.

The PD made him go on-duty in his squad car rather than give him the day off. They wanted every hour of work they could get out of him before and after his trip to Joliet.

Steve P is cooperating fully. He has also talked to investigators who have recently publicly stated that Steve P is not a suspect and confirmed that he has been cooperating. You don't have to believe me, but Steve is a good guy and will do what is right.

My experience is that LE only testifies in uniform at the request of their department if it's related to a case brought by their department. Steve testifying on duty for personal reasons doesn't sound right.

 

[SuziQ]

Randy, while you are here. What do you make of the FBI investigating how the original investigation into Kathleen's death was handled?

I'm glad to hear he is a good guy and will do what is right.

I will say, that it appears he may have inherited ONE of his dad's traits. DP's neighbor Sharon said that Steve and his gf lived with DP and SP for two years when she first moved there. He and the gf broke up when she found out he was cheating on her.

That's just what I heard.

I agree with Randy about government employees wanting every hour of work. They could have required him to work before and after the GJ hearing, and had him take personal time for the hour or two that he would have been in the Grand Jury. Remember, Steve had been on an extended leave and had just returned to work. Now that he is back on their schedules, the department won't be happy about him taking more time for anything.

You are correct and I agree, but that is how screwed up the Oak Brook PD is. This was brought up on another thread. All I can say is call the Chief, Tom Sheahan, 630 990 3000 and complain about the waste of tapayer dollars. Steve did NOT enjoy the spotlight that the uniform and squad car brought upon him.
