Drew is slick. He got away with at least one murder (Kathleen) and now that her demise has been ruled as a homicide, it's extremely difficult to get trace evidence that would have been left at the scene to convict Drew. We all know he did it, but proving it is another thing. It would take the right prosecutor.
I think the best hope for conviction is finding Stacy's body. That will be difficult. I've stated it before on this site and I'll state it again. I think he had a plan if he "needed" to kill her. I believe that he already had a grave prepared in case he needed it. I don't think he initially planned to kill her on the date of her disappearance, but he most likely found out about her plans to see a lawyer regarding divorce. He couldn't let Stacy go - financially it would have been difficult as he wouldn't have been able to lead the same lifestyle. Drew needs money to get a young woman and if Stacy took half.......don't need to say any more. Also, we now know what Stacy told her pastor. Drew simply couldn't let Stacy live.
It would be so difficult to just happen on a grave that was preplanned. Drew's experience with criminals was not only a career, but an education. I think he was a student who paid attention. I also believe that it is possible he killed before Kathleen (see others who mysteriously died). He is slick, he plans ahead, and he had a plan for Stacy's disappearance if he needed it.......I'm convinced.
So, while we all wait and are desperate to see justice done, we just have to remain anxious bystanders. I'm certain that LE would love to put this monster away. Don't despair, it will happen at some point.
I saw an edition of Dateline Saturday evening. It was about a guy whose wife was shot dead (pregnant school teacher leading an honorable non-dangerous life). He was arrested six years later and I have to tell you, there was absolutely no evidence except that her husband was the only one who would have benefited from her death. In fact, a couple of kids who heard a gunshot pinpointed the time of death at at time when a camera showed him shopping with his young son - seemingly giving him an alibi.
The prosecutor they brought in is a pit bull - I've seen her before but I can't remember what high profile case - and she is just simply so passionate and convincing while reminding jurors that there was only one person to benefit from her death. It gave me hope for justice for Stacy and Kathleen. I think she could get a conviction in the Kathleen case since Drew was so much better off financially with her out of the way.
Sometimes the wheels of justice grind slowly away. OJ got away with murder, but he's now where he belongs. Drew will be there someday, too, I'm convinced.
