Pastor: Ex-Cop's Missing Wife Feared Him
[SIZE=-1]
The Associated Press -
BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (AP) The wife of a former police officer told a clergy member months before she disappeared that she feared her husband, a church official said Thursday, echoing comments the woman's sister made soon after she vanished.
Stacy Peterson requested a meeting in late August with a member of the Westbrook Christian Church pastoral staff when the church made a routine call to see why she and Drew Peterson had not attended recent services, Rob Daniels, the church's pastor of spiritual formation, told The Associated Press.
At the meeting, Peterson said "she feared for herself because of her husband," Daniels said.
He would not say whether Peterson was afraid her husband would kill her, only that she feared "bodily harm."
