Stacy Ann Peterson, Bolingbrook IL #11

[SuziQ]

Was it being brave, or sweet and naive? This is one of the most challenging situations anyone could have been involved in. One of the questions that truly haunts me is this, how long did she actually know that Drew had killed Kathy?

IIRC, The pastor stated that Drew told Stacy the day after Kathleen was found or murdered. I don't know which one.

I just got word that more of our interviews with Sgt Peterson’s fiance and Stacy’s Pastor will be posted here or on our ON THE RECORD show page in a couple of hours. Right now they are encoding them - whatever that means…you might want to watch these interviews on the web simply because we did not show complete interviews on out TV show (ON THE RECORD, ten pm eastern)….

Most likely it was a combination. After Kathy's death, it was probably that she was naive enough to believe what happened to Kathy was an accident or at least could not happen to her, but IMO most recently it was bravery.
Her recent actions show signs of knowledge and fear, yet she was going forward with plans to leave. And she was taking actions to make sure her story became known if something happened to her- she told her sister about the gunshot, she made her sister promise to look for her if she disappeared, she told the pastor about Kathleen. I think she knew what would happen, but was determined to try.

I did watch that show on Oprah... While watching this I thought of Stacy - who knows what all she went through. Perhaps she had gotten advice and was making her plan. She had plenty of places that many don't have, friends and family to go to - but since he is who he is, she might have been endangering them and their families. That show scared the heck out of me - everyone should see it and pay attention to family, friends and co-workers. Without her co-worker keeping records etc, he may not have been locked up for so long. And have a special remark to let people know when you are in trouble.

I agree, but as you know, I know firsthand that stepping out and being brave is very dangerous. I admire her and other's like her, like Lisa Stebic, for their bravery. I am just afraid, that if something isn't done about these murders of abused women, other women will think even harder before they leave their abusers!:banghead:

HOLY COW! Well, here's attempt number one folks. He intended this to look like an accidental firing of his weapon that just so happened to kill his young wife while she was getting a soda FOR HIM in the garage. Thanks for posting Trouble! This is one of the most twisted cases I have ever followed. Just when you think you've heard it all...BAM there's another freaky twist. Poor Stacy. This must be what drove her to speak to the Pastor regarding KS murder. This man makes me fume. :furious:

Drew Peterson says he wants his property back. The retired Bolingbrook police officer is trying to recover items seized as part of the investigation into the disappearance of his wife Stacy. Nancy Pender has the latest developments

New revelations involving Drew Peterson, as he prepares to head to court this morning. According to Stacy's sister, a gunshot allegedly fired by Peterson narrowly missed stacy last summer. Patrick Elwood has that report

I'd sure like to know which came first.........the "accidental" shooting of DP's gun, or the meeting with the pastor.

If the shooting came first, it could have been what prompted Stacy to seek out the pastor.

If the meeting with the pastor came first, it could have been a deliberate attempt to kill Stacy and make it look like an accident.

I hope the court decides today that DP gets nothing back pending further investigation, and he's :behindbar before the investigation is over.

This sounds like big news! I sure hope Mark Fuhrman found something that will tie everything together!

by Greta Van Susteren

This is why we use Mark Fuhrman…..I just got a call from Mark (as I was getting off the train in NYC)….he told me what he had just discovered….and I thought, “why didn’t I see that?” Anyway…I am not telling you here in this blog what Mark told me because I don’t want to “steal his thunder” ….tune in tonight at 10pm eastern ON THE RECORD….Mark will be on our show and he will tell you what I missed in this investigation and maybe you did, too (frankly, since none of you wrote me about it….or put it as a comment on this blog, I think you are in the same boat I am and missed this….and so have the ISP I bet!)

Wow. Can't wait to watch tonight. I will have to catch Project Runway in a repeat.

You know, this case is incredible! NEVER a dull moment.

I think Drew should just give it up. :loser:

TELL US WHERE STACY IS!:banghead:

I have always felt that Mark is tops and that he was never given his due. And he is all over this case and we all know what he believes, you can tell when he's reporting to Greta.

Go Mark!

Well what could it be??

I agree. Domestic violence laws are badly in need of updating and law enforcement education needs to be done. Women also need to be educated about the dangers of domestic violence and what resources are available to assist them and how to obtain and use the resources. One of the most common mistakes is to tell the partner they are leaving. With an abusive, controlling or impulsive partner- they should never be told in advance. They can be informed by letter or phone once the woman is in a safe place.

Some people on Greta's blog think it could be as simple as the IPASS.

I dunno, I would have thought they surely would have thought of that! It's too simple.:doh:

JMHO

MOST definitely! NEVER tell them in advance. OMGosh! I can't tell you how many women I know that got out safely, because they didn't say anything until they were outta' there!

One person I knew left in the dead of night with three small children, got on a bus 1000's of miles away. She knew he'd find her if he had a clue.

Scary!

No kidding Fran, this is even more incredible then the Anna Nicole Smith "Who's your daddy" saga.
This thing has twists and turns and I don't even think we have scratched the surface yet.

Yes, agreed mysteriew! I wonder if Stacy had of just played it cool and not told him she was going to leave if she would be alive today? In this case I doubt it. Look at Kathy Savio. She was living on her own and he was already with Stacy when he killed her. This guy thinks of women like he thinks of those "toys" the police took. They are his and he wants them.

Perhaps Kathy would be dead anyway also. What we don't know about, and what every new twist seems to indicate, is how dirty of a cop was D.P. It's possible that Kathy found out about illegal activities D.P. was involved in and he had to kill her to keep her quiet too. Maybe Kathy knew the true story behind some of these other missing, murdered, or suicidal people.

When this is all done, there won't be a novel with near as many twists as I believe this story is going to have. I just hope that (1) we find enough soon to put him behind bars and (2) that ALL the truth comes out.
