Police Misconduct??

[RandyMucha]

Hi all. It is old news that was just reported by Chuck Goudi last night for no real reason. The ISP got the records before Thanksgiving. They talked to a few of Steve's coworkers but not to me. They told one of them that they see no need to talk to me. Steve has been before the GJ twice and is cooperating fully.

Thanks, Randy! (I seem to be saying that a lot lately.)

I think it was a rather slow news day on this case, since they didn't really find anything to report about the search, they wanted something to grab ratings.

Glad you're here Randy. I have a question. This was in the above ABC article

When Steve Peterson's current stepmother, Stacy, 23, vanished almost six weeks ago, he was on vacation, according to police sources - a vacation that he extended several times in November.

I know it has been said that Steve was recently married, and I figure he took time off for a honeymoon. And I am sure that since the disappearance of his stepmother, that he has felt under scrutiny and pressure. But has there been any other reasons for his "extending his vacation several times?"

Slow package delivery service?

 

[RandyMucha]

No specific reasons other than if he didn't use the vacation due to him he would lose it on Dec 31st. I think he just needed some time away from work.

Thank you for your response Randy. Has Steve participated in any of the searches for Stacy, and has he made any comments as to whether he thought they were being through enough?

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Makes perfect sense to me. If you have the time coming to you, why not take it?

 

[RandyMucha]

He is staying as far removed from all of this as possible. He and his wife don't live near Drew and he has been back at work. Chuck Goudi was back at Oak Brook Police Department today trying to film Steve.

I know that this has to be hard on him having all this attention and suspicion focused on him, as well as all the suspicion on his father.
The article does mention that Drew P and Steve were very close, are you saying that Steve is distancing himself from his father?

I am going to stop short of jumping to that conclusion or putting words in Steve's mouth, but from what I know Steve hasn't seen Drew lately.

Randy:

Thanks for taking the time to post here and answer our questions. If Steve has not seen his father "lately", do you know if he feels the children are safe with his father during this time?

He must because I am confident that he would do something if he wasn't comfortable. He loves his step-siblings.

 

[Littledeer]

Thank you. That gives me some comfort knowing that the children will be (are) safe for the time being.

If anyone watched Greta tonight (12/14/07), Sharon B was on talking about the Savio case and right at the very end she mentioned something about Steve cheating on someone named Jennifer. Sounded like his girlfriend.

So if I heard everything right, sounds like cheating runs in the family...

Yes, I saw that & thought "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!"

I would like to think he has nothing to do with anything illegal in this horrific saga, but I think if you cheat on your girlfriend then you are probably capable of cheating elsewhere in life.

 

[RandyMucha]

I am going to chime in here with my opinion based on what I know of Steve today. I didn't know Steve when he dated "Jennifer" or if there even was a Jennifer. If he cheated as a young man in a dating relationship I don't think it is fair to make the leap that he would cheat on his wife today. He is very happily married to a great lady who wouldn't stand for any type of cheating, abuse, etc. In fact, I think she would kick his butt in a second if he stepped out of line. My dad cheated on my mom which lead to a divorce when I was a teen. I have never cheated on my wife. Please don't rush to judgement of Steve just because of who is father is.
My two cents, which adjusted for inflation is just about worthless. Thanks for reading.

Thank you, Randy. It helps to have your input!

You are welcome. Like I said, its only my opinion and I didn't know him back then.

My thought was this..if Steve and the girl he cheated on were living with Stacy and Drew at the time of KS's death, someone needs to find that girl.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. She might have some useful info.

With all due respect Randy, I am going to disagree. Working with and being an ex abuse victim, I can tell you that with boys who are raised in a home of a guy like Drew one of two things occur. They either turn out to abuse women in the same way their father did(does) or they grow up to be victims of abuse.

When you work at something long enough you begin to see patterns repeating themselves.

Without a true "conversion" of their hearts they are doomed to fail. It has nothing to do with how much they love their wives, it has to do with living what feels familiar.:twocents:
