Exclusive: Papers Reveal Peterson Case
Updated: Thursday, 30 Apr 2009, 11:54 AM CDT
Published : Wednesday, 29 Apr 2009, 4:25 PM CDT
<snipped>
The documents were stolen from an Illinois State Police car then photocopied and dropped off for anchor Jeff Goldblatt. Inside is information never before seen by the public including a timeline of what happened to Stacy, a list of 59 leads, and the police report from the night of Kathleen Savio's murder.

"I was shocked by what was in there, I was really, really shocked," said Charlie Doman, Kathleen nephew. Doman received a copy of the documents after the Post Office found the papers, saw the Savio name, and delivered them to his mom.

Doman eventually returned his copy. But you can see why police wanted them. The timeline alone lays out in great detail what investigators think happened to Stacy Peterson and what Drew did with her body. According to the documents, they note Stacy was dead by 10:59 am on October 28th. That night, they describe Drew removing the body with his step brother Tom Morphey in a "large blue round plastic container weighing approximately 150 pounds with screw on top with clear plastic protruding from outside."

Peterson Arrest Thrills Savio's family
Updated: Thursday, 07 May 2009, 7:52 PM CDT
Published : Thursday, 07 May 2009, 7:41 PM CDT
<snipped>
Years ago, when officials determined her sister Kathleen Savio's death was an accident, Anna Marie Doman never thought she'd see Drew Peterson held responsible.

But that day came Thursday.
"I screamed," Doman said. "My brother just called me and said the state police called him so I know it's for real."

Doman said she had heard rumors of Peterson's imminent arrest before, but did not get her hopes up.
"When Henry (Savio) called, I'm like, say it again. Say it again," Doman said. "I wish I could call Kitty (Kathleen Savio) up. Anytime something big happened, that's who I'd be calling."

Peterson wasn't named a suspect in Savio's death, but state police determined the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, is a "potential homicide" and say he is a suspect in the case.

Reached by phone shortly after Peterson's arrest was reported, Pamela Bosco, a spokeswoman for Stacy Peterson's family, said they had dreamed about Peterson's arrest.

"We anticipated the day, we had been patient waiting for it for what seemed like forever," Bosco said. "We're in full support of the Savio family. We'll patiently wait again as this unfolds."

Bosco said the new development gives them hope they will get answers about what happened to Stacy.

UPDATED: Drew Peterson charged with murder, authorities say
May 7, 2009
updated 1 hour, 5 minutes ago
<snipped>
Charles B. Pelkie, spokesman for the state's attorney in Will County, Illinois, said a grand jury indicted Peterson in the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, whose death had been ruled an accidental drowning.
He said the grand jury continues to meet and is studying the possibility of charges in Stacy Peterson's disappearance.

The news was also bittersweet for Stacy Peterson's family, who continue to wait for news about her disappearance.
"We have anticipated this coming. We have dreamed about it. We have been patient over it," Pam Bosco, spokesperson for Stacy Peterson's family told WLS-TV. "Now that it's here, it's almost a little bit calm. We're waiting for the storm to calm now. The calm before the storm."

Ernie Raines is also relieved about the arrest. His daughter, Christina Raines, is dating Peterson and was living with him before his arrest. Ernie Raines told CNN's Anderson Cooper he was with his daughter and Peterson as recently as last week, when they talked about going to Las Vegas, Nevada, and getting married.

Thursday night he spoke with his daughter after the arrest.
"My daughter was terrified, very emotional, upset," Ernie Raines said. "And I tried to tell her from the beginning that this was going to happen, be prepared."

Ernie Raines said more than anything, when he heard about the arrest, he was relieved.
"I'm glad justice finally came -- before he hurt my daughter," he said.

Drew Peterson Indicted on Murder Charge
Updated: Thursday, 07 May 2009, 9:23 PM EDT
Published : Thursday, 07 May 2009, 7:19 PM EDT
<snipped>
Savio's 73-year-old father, Henry, said Thursday that an arrest should have been made long ago.

"I always wondered," about her death, he said. "I was never pleased with the (coroner's finding of suicide) from the beginning."

In more than a year and a half since Stacy Peterson's disappearance, Drew Peterson has been under a media microscope, and at times he has seemed to relish the attention.

This week Selig said Peterson was interested in a job offer from a Nevada brothel that is the setting for the HBO reality show "Cathouse." An HBO spokeswoman said the network would sooner cancel the show than allow Peterson to appear on it.

59 Leads in the Drew Peterson Case
<snipped>
To solve the murder of Kathleen Savio, authorities have done more than exhume her body; they've compiled a body of evidence. In documents obtained exclusively by Fox Chicago News, we've learned investigators put together a list of at least 59 leads.

The name that shows up most often is Drew Peterson. Kathleen's ex-husband appears 15 times, including a warrant for a DNA sample.

Another man in Kathleen's life who was interviewed was her boyfriend Steve Maniaci. Maniaci is mentioned as being robbed shortly before Kathleen's murder. The documents show Kathleen withdrew nine thousand dollars from a bank account to give to Steve. We asked private investigator Jim Miller to look at the paperwork. Miller, who's been in the business for more than 15 years, calls the lead list very thorough. He says it proves Drew Peterson is clearly the prime suspect.

JOLIET &#8212; Drew Peterson was reportedly set to fly to Reno, Nev., on Friday to discuss working as head of security at a brothel featured on an HBO reality series.
Instead, he'll likely spend the weekend where he'll only be allowed to watch basic cable if he's on his best behavior with the staff and other guests.
After the former Bolingbrook police sergeant was arrested on murder charges Thursday evening and questioned at state police District 5 headquarters, he was booked into the county jail.
A car brought Peterson inside the sallyport on the facility's north side. Once the garage door closed, the door that passes into the receiving area were opened.
<snip>
Peterson was expected to spend the night in the jail's classification pod. The "E" pod, is designed to house 48 inmates, but jail staff is currently double-bunking that section.
However, the pod has the only recreation area that is not currently shut down as the staff prepares to begin housing inmates in the recently completed $70 expansion wing of the jail in the next few weeks.
Today, Peterson will then be brought to appear on television. He'll be formally arraigned over video broadcast to the courthouse.

Note from me about Drew Peterson

by Greta Van Susteren
Many times I met with Drew Peterson and told him right to his face that I was very suspicious of him….and he said that he understood that I was, he understood why I would be (he admitted he would be, too, with the limited information he said that I had) but that he was not guilty of any crimes against his wives.
He has now been indicted for murder in connection with the death of wife #3. In spite of my suspicion and maybe yours, suspicion is not enough. The prosecutor must still prove beyond a reasonable doubt:
1. that a murder occurred (remember, the first report was an accident death and Dr. Baden did the second autopsy and reached a different conclusion of homicide);http://gretawire.foxnews.com/

The Savio Timeline
Updated: Thursday, 07 May 2009, 9:30 PM CDT
Published : Thursday, 07 May 2009, 7:44 PM CDT
<snipped>
It's been five years since March 1st, 2004 when Kathleen Savio was found dead in a dry bathtub. The Will County coroner ruled it was an accident, a ruling that was revisited when Stacy Peterson, Drew's fourth wife, vanished on October 29th 2009.

Ten days after her disappearance, on November ninth, a judge ordered that Kathleen Savio's body be exhumed to determine if Savio's death might have been more than accident.

At the request of Savio's family, forensic pathologist Doctor Michael Baden performed an autopsy, and said that in his opinion, Savio appeared to have been beaten before she drowned.

Doctor Baden called Savio's death a homicide. But, not until three months later in February 2008 did the Will County State's attorney officially agree.
