Drew Peterson on Dateline NBC 12-21-07

[Leila]

I just got online about 20 minutes ago, and I had forgotten about this program. I went channel surfing and found it. It was about 15 minutes into the program, so I missed the first 15 minutes. I did see the interview with Pam Bosco, Walter, and Kathleen's sister. A lot of details!

 

[SeriouslySearching]

I thought there was more that came out with them, too. Especially with Walter!

 

[DeltaDawn]

So if this interview took place on or about Nov 14 when the Matt Lauer interview was also done.....what was the white limo that picked up Drew last week about? Right after that we heard he was going to be on Dateline so I thought it was related to that interview. But that can't be the case if this interview was from mid-Nov.
So where did Drew go in the white limo and who else was with him?

I was wondering what you guys think about him getting "emotional" when they were talking about Stacey being upset about her sister's death.
Something brought DP to tears at that time. When asked for a clarification he didn't explain it well IMHO.

 

[Tom'sGirl]

Walter is Tom Morphey's friend! (He says more in this interview than the others, imo)

LOL, sorry I went blank last night on the name "Walter". Didn't think of Walter Matinek Jr.

I suspect that some of Drew's accounts of what Stacy was going thru in the month leading up to her murder are actually a projection of things that were happening with Drew.
In other words, it seems more likely to me that when Drew talked about Stacy being more irritable, ready to snap at the slightest provication, short tempered with him and the kids, he was projecting; attributing his behavior to her. It was Drew who was ready to snap, not Stacy.
Likewise, I think that when Drew got emotional when talking about Stacy praying to God for her sister's recovery, and her sister's subsequent death, Stacy's sense of being betrayed by God(that was from a previous interview), he was not emotional because of the sister's death or Stacy's suffering. I think Drew may have prayed to God that Stacy wouldn't leave him, or reveal his culpability in Kathy's murder. He may even told God that he didn't want to "have to" kill her. Thus, when Stacy told him she was leaving anyway, Drew could blame it on God's failure to make her stay. I think he teared up because he felt betrayed, not for Stacy's suffering. Thinking something like, "God betrayed me so I had to kill her." I think he only gets emotional when thinking about how he feels.
A sociopath is not able to feel empathy, emotions confuse him, so he attributes his emotions by saying that this is what Stacy felt. He really has no clue and does not care how anyone feels.
Notice how he claims that his youngest children do not miss their mommy? How stupid is that! Of course they are hurting and miss her. Thank God they instinctively sense that it is not safe to experss this to Drew!

I buy it all Susan, except for the part about DP and God. If you believe in God you believe in a hereafter. You don't murder.
PS I can't wait for the lawsuit either. This is AMERICA. I believe in my first amendment rights to give an opinion.

Maybe he was going to take his next victim, ummm new girlfriend to her highschool winter dance.

TGI:

Wow. Just read what you had written. From a psychological viewpoint, that would be exactly what DP would be doing. Projecting his OWN thoughts he was having onto all the scenarios leading up to Stacy's disappearance. IMO, he would do that to explain away any culpability on his part, but yet, maybe admitting only to himelf that he and he alone, knew what happened to Stacy??

But the "cop" side of him kicks in...................and what does a cop think of every day?? How does/did this perpeuator hide his tracks???

Hmmmm...very intriguing. You might be onto something with that train of thought. Let me think about that for a bit and go back to the Drewisms. Interesting!

hehehehehe!

She's in high school already? Time flies!

 

[DeltaDawn]

For me, I dont't believe that Drew ever brought God into this / he didn't care about anyone other then himself. If God ever played a role in Drew's life it was long ago and far away. Drew only cared about Drew and that has been going on for along time.

 

[DeltaDawn]

I have a strong feeling that whom ever was in the limo with him is not only related to Stacy's demise, but is also someone hoping to be the next Mrs Drew. Who puts on a show like this with a limo but a suitor?

DP is a suspect. I wonder If the police have him under surveillance when he leaves the house? If so, they know where he was and who he was with. Wouldn't it be something if the limo driver was an undercover detective?

I agree that DP was projecting his own feelings when it came to describing Stacy's state of mind. DP is a classic sociapath and narcissistic personality. He doesn't have any empathy for anyone else. But, I don't think a narcissistic personality has a strong belief in God.

 

[DeltaDawn]

I too agree Drew projected his feelings onto others. I also think that he is a very moody person. The jokster personality is a cover for not letting his true emotions show. He certainly has run the gamut of emotions since we have been watching him.
As far as the kids go he needs to find another wife because "the kids need a mother". He would never have been a hands on Dad dealing with the daily routine of raising the kids..he was the jokester Dad.
Who ever was in that white limo I have no doubt is close to becoming wife number 5..and this person would be someone he has known for awhile. I am sure Drew would have already started seeing other women during the summer as rocky as the marriage was getting, if not before then. So this person is probably young and able to be molded to his way of thinking. She has seen only one side of him and believes what she has seen. She would not think him capable of this nor give it any credence. So who is she?

 

[DeltaDawn]

DP is a suspect. I wonder If the police have him under surveillance when he leaves the house? If so, they know where he was and who he was with. Wouldn't it be something if the limo driver was an undercover detective?

With all the manpower on this case I sure hope they are tailing him. It would be great if the limo driver was an undercover detective.

And I still am perplexed by Drew's sudden change from trying to hide behind the bandito getup to being the jolly jokester. I really feel that he felt the time had passed for being able to locate Stacy. That if that was possible he somehow felt safe that her remains would not be located now. Why? Did he contact someone that removed the body from the original location to a location distant? Did he personally drive by the site during his time away and see that there were no tell tale signs ? What happened that made Drew change so abruptly?

 

[Trino]

What happened that made Drew change so abruptly?

Dare we guess that it relates to nothing being found to implicate him?

 

[Camper]

Dare we guess that it relates to nothing being found to implicate him?

--->>>How would DP know that?
