Stacy Ann Peterson, Bolingbrook IL #10

[Pocono Sleuther]

Many do, especially when they don't have money, they have children and the man tells them they will not be able to keep them. Because if they ever try to leave them they will kill them and make it look like an accident.
Stacy was planning on getting away from DrewP, she was trying to get her nursing licence so she could provide for her children, only she didn't get away from him quick enough. From what happened with Kathleen, even getting a divorce would not have saved Stacy, DrewP would not have allowed her to get child support and a divorce settlement IMO. Many women are trapped with no way out, they are mentally broken down. I don't doubt DrewP went over every receipt and questioned anything that didn't look right to him.
I wait every day to hear he's been arrested, what is taking so long? If there is any "silver lining" to this whole mess, it will be that some other women/young girls out there will be made more aware of abusive controling men and get away from them before it is to late.

Truthfully, I don't think she would have ever been able to get away from him. He would have undoubtedly hunted her down like an animal if she did make a break. I just do not think this girl ever had a chance at a life without him. She could have gotten her nursing degree, moved out, and, imo, still ended up 'missing'. Drew would not allow anyone to leave him. It is not in his vocabulary. Her life would have been hell and it would have ended the same way. I am hopeful we will see action this week after the post on Gretawire. I want her family to be able to lie her to rest properly before Christmas. I've been saying this and I'll keep saying it. IMO, this man is a serial killer. Those children are in danger and so is anyone who gets in his way.
I fear we're seeing an evil far worse than that of SP.

Just found this on Gretawire:

Mark Furhman and I have just arrived back in Bolingbrook. We have a very important meeting tonight, but I can’t say with who just yet and many leads and tips to follow up on this week. We also have some fantastic guests appearing on the show this week with incredible insight into the Stacy Peterson case. People have been asking me “What’s going on with that case, why no arrests?? why haven’t they found her body?”. My response is “stay tuned we have a busy week ahead!!!”

Well this peaks my interest. Wondering who it is that Mark Furhman and Steph have an important meeting with that they can't say with whom just yet? It sounds like this coming week, we might get some important news out of Bolingbrook.

Reading further at Gretawire, she says that Joel Brodsky, attorney for DP will be on her Monday night program.

thanks Leila!...sounds like something's brewing in BB...if anyone can find out what it is, it's MF & Steph

Thanks Leila, sounds like an interesting week ahead in BB!

In light of what we have learned about his treatment of his ex-wives, you are right. He would have stalked her and, eventually, found the opportunity to "make her disappear", just as he did Kathleen.

Drew is the worst of the worst abusers. He knows no boundaries. This is what makes him such a dangerous abuser. His rage takes over and he simply won't stop the obsessive thinking until he kills the object of his rage. The blame he places on the women during their lives carries over into their deaths. He believes they are responsible for "making" him kill them. Therefore, no remorse.

"She is where she wants to be.", he said. The most chilling of the statements he has made to date. This statement says not only does he know where she is, but she made a choice in his mind. She chose to die.

He is trained to kill which means he has the knowledge to fall back on for the actual deed. It also, in his mind, absolves him of all guilt. He is a "warrior" of sorts.

Hey SS!

The other case where the cop killed his pregnant girlfriend? He finally confessed and they found her grave? You are referring to Bobby Cutts, Jr. and Jessie Davis.

I don't think this DP character is going to have a guilt attack and confess but I do think there's a similarity with this case. I agree. However, Bobby killed her to prevent the birth of his child which is unlike the sociopathic rage we see in DP.

IF I remember right, 20 miles out was where they found her grave.
Out of the search area ... no one would have ever found her. True. The area would have not been searched and she would have been found only by accident...eventually.

The waterway seems too "easy" and wouldn't be logical simply because of all the waterway discoveries in so many cases. IMO I think he was in a rush. If in fact he was involved in Archer's murder who was found in the same waterway, this might seem like a quick solution. At the time of her disappearance, Drew had no reason to believe they would not buy his story of "she left me" as they believed he casually found Kathleen with the witnesses. He not only didn't think they would find her...he didn't think they would look! He never dreamed they would dredge the waterway. I still have some hope they will find her.

Plus, didn't someone say he sounded out of breath on the phone?
Digging ... physical excercise! You could be right...however, he would have left his SUV at the house, walked the couple of blocks to pick up her car at the airport or wherever he left it, and was possibly out of breath from walking or running. I don't think he was gone long enough at that time to go a distance, dig a grave, and dispose of her. He dropped off Tom at 10:00 pm and this particular call was made at 11:26pm.

That would also explain his comment about losing weight. I think he lost weight due to drinking instead of eating at night. Digging for a few minutes wouldn't be enough to lose any amount of weight, imo.

I think he's been giving out little clues all along. I have NO doubt about this. They say there is always a piece of truth in lies.

IMO ~ Ground search out of the immediate area.

What do you think? I think they need to do what they are doing for the moment. They started closest to her last known sighting and are working outward. The area is too vast not to search on the grid for her. The key will be not to quit searching until they find her...whether it is 5 miles or 25 miles.

~drumstick~

I just want them to bring Stacy home. I don't care what they have to do to accomplish it. (Luckily, they are pulling out all the stops because he is a policeman and a possible serial killer. They need to find out for certain.)

The below linked video is Greta and her rountable discussing the trucker, Drew throwing out false clues, and Brodsky's refusal to do Greta's show.

Thanks, Suz!

 

[concernedperson]

Thanks SusieQ that was an excellent discussion and helped me a great deal. On this case and others. Especially Natalee Holloway and the cruelty involved in that one. It also brings to mind that these perps have a better than 50-50 chance of getting away with their crimes which is so sad. Dr. Baden discusses the possibilities and reflects that so many are going to be found by chance not a search effort and that part really bothers me.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Greta is on with a full hour of the case. (Have we already seen this?)

 

[Pocono Sleuther]

Ya know what guys? I've thinking alot about this case today. Someone (sorry not sure who it was) posted about how they feel she's closer to home. While I originally felt he might have taken her body quite a distance, I'm beginning to think she's much closer than all of us think. I still have some feelings about the canal and perhaps she is in there. I could be totally wrong, but we know that DP is a huge control freak. He would rather murder someone, imo, than let them leave him. He won't lose control over someone and what better way to show your control than to take their life? Considering how very smug and cocky this boy is and considering how he's clearly teetering close to edge of insanity, I'm wondering if Stacy isn't extremely close to the house. This would be perfect control for him. She's clearly not in the house, but could she be at a family member's house????? Have they searched other homes? I doubt he sanity of this entire family. Where does his mother live? I'm just tossing ideas out here, but this would be the ultimate for a control freak. Plus this would explain why he's never seemed very nervous while searches were being executed.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

The one place they haven't searched to my knowledge, but were asked by the owner, is the Kennedy Street house where Stacy and Bruce were to paint that day.

I wondered also about some kind of "trophy". Random serial killers collect and keep these, but I don't know if this applies to domestic. Anyone know the stats on that? I guess in the case of Kathleen and Stacy...he has the children, the homes, the cars, etc. He could consider those his "trophies" from them, I suppose.

 

[Pocono Sleuther]

Greta is on with a full hour of the case. (Have we already seen this?)

They just stated he has nothing in his file regarding domestic abuse etc. Then please explain the letter and the amount of phone calls made by Kathleen Savio regarding DREW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Pocono Sleuther]

TY SS!! I'm just letting my mind run wild with this because I so badly want to see her returned to her family before Christmas. I also desperately want the children away from this man asap. And it appears the only this is going to happen is with his arrest.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

She is getting ready to do just that! Go Greta!

 

[SeriouslySearching]

You are right. I do believe it will take an arrest to get the kids away from him. Sad to say. I would love to see her home by Christmas, too.

 

[Pocono Sleuther]

Poor Cassandra! I am sure she's a mess inside. Yet she's doing super on Greta. I am also sure she was in a positive panic once she realized Stacy's phone was off. Especially after Stacy told her to find her is she's missing. That rotten Basta&$. I want to smack him.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

I think you would have to stand in a very, very long line to smack Drew.

Cassandra did do well in this early interview. I listened more carefully this time. This interview was done during the first few days, I think.

Hey, did you make your siggy? I just love it!

What do you think?

~drumstick~

You're thinking of Bobby Cutts killing Jessie Davis and dumping her body with his helper Myeshia Farrell. You may have a good idea here! I don't know about DP confessing though ~ he just seems too arrogant to do it.

That statement really says it all. I wish LE would take DP in for questioning and ask him point blank........."she's where she wants to be - exactly where is that DP?" It's extremely difficult to see all these people devoting their time to searching for Stacy, even risking their own lives by diving into the junk-filled canal to look for her, while DP sits at home and his only worry is how this might affect his love life. :furious:
