Stacy Ann Peterson, Bolingbrook IL #8

[Bigfoot]

I recall hearing that he had only eleven days until retirement, and that was when they were first reporting Stacy as missing.

I am curious whether or not Drew was planning on retirement before Stacy went missing? Does anyone know or heard anything about this?

I don't know how it works in Illinois, but our here unless you were told to retire for certain reasons you have to submit a letter of Intent to Retire and stipulate the date. You are then given your Retirement options as to benifits, etc. I think he had this in the works for some time, just a guess though.

I am curious to know whether or not this has been in the works for a while, thinking he would be cleared of any wrong doing on the allegations brought against him, or if this was just a spur of the moment thing after this case made the airwaves?

I know he has made comments about having the children provided for, if something were to happen to him, and guardianship has been taken care of as well......just makes me think "flight risk"

Maybe he's planning on being gone by the time the endictment has been handed down.

BEG,
I'm afraid I'm not so generous of 'he's innocent' as you. And I'm English. I think he retired to STOP the internal investigation from going any further than it had. He resigned. It stopped. I think if the internal investigation had gone any further, he would have been dismissed from the force and lost his pension. As for flight? It would not surprise me in the least. Leave the kids, as he has done so since this broke. Who do you think was with the kids when he flew to NY?

IIRC, one of Stacy's family members said Stacy asked Drew for a divorce months ago and Drew asked her to wait till he retired. The retirement was in the works. Interestingly, Drew was only two days from retirement when he handed in his resignation. So why the rush? Unless Drew was convicted of a job related felony in those two days, he was going to get his pension. The only thing the resignation stopped were the two internal PD investigations. And don't forget, the Mayor was REAL quick accepting Drews resignation.

He may very well have agreed to the divorce months ago thinking it would give him time to "win back her heart" or figure out how to get rid of her.

Good point Leila. But I took it that Stacy Peterson called him.

After first being mentioned by full name once in the article, all persons are addressed only by their last name. Including Kathleen Savio.

Thanks for the correction. If Stacy called Rossetto just before she went missing, the only thing I can think of is she was looking for help, and thought Rossetto was someone who could help her. There was one article that stated that Rossetto isn't a suspect and what he told LE is being kept confidential. I have to think that there's something there that's important.

I don't believe he had any intention of sharing his retirement in a divorce settlement. Leila's right-he needed time to plan how to get rid of her.

I wonder if there is something special about Rossetto's line of work which would be helpful to her, like, LE from a different jurisdiction, or a minister or counselor or financial advisor. Maybe he does PI work. I wish I could find out what he does for a living!

From the photo of him standing in the doorway with his hand on the door I observed his hand/nails appeared to be that of someone who worked with his hands.

As a general rule of thumb, most places (either governmental or non-governmental) require at least 30 days notice prior to retirement or resigning.

Once that is done, after the last day of work, the employee then submits his request to the Pension Plan to receive benefits. The Pension Plan then submits a letter of inquiry to the place of employment requesting the date that the person last worked, his last pay amount and date of payment, etc. This form has to be notorized and sent back to the Pension Plan.

He won't be getting his first payment for at least a month or two. Don't know what the rules are if he is charged with a felony prior to the first payment being sent to him.

My mailman just brought my mail to the door. My Enquirer came. The headlines say that the police found Stacey's secret diary. Hmmm.

Will read later and report unless someone else already has one. It is a three page article with pics.

Enquirer??? If that's the "National Enquirer":

Read everything with a grain of salt!

Unfortunately the pension was voted on by "the board" last Thursday night and it's a done deal. The only thing that would have stopped it is a job related felony conviction prior to the pension being granted.

I am curious about the same thing. I think Stacy reached out to him for help. She did that with Pam the Thursday before she disappeared. She wanted to know if she could rent a rental property Pam owned. But Pam had already rented it out.

 

[Littledeer]

thanks camper for the info. I thought maybe the Pension Board could revoke any payments PRIOR to the first payment being sent if there was a charge put against him.

I think the mayor may have wanted those investigations stopped for personal reasons. The investigations might have uncovered something the mayor didn't want uncovered.

I agree.........it may be his line of work that would have helped Stacy.
