Thanks Chi Town! Ok, isn't it policy or illegal, in most states, for a police officer to be on the force and own a gun if they have a protection order against them?

ETA: It was an emergency order of protection and the normal rules don't apply. It was withdrawn in agreement of both parties, in April 2002.

I don't know what to say about this poor woman's detailed letter being ignored. I hate to say it, but it is very apparent that Stacy was involved in the harassment. She had to know that Drew murdered her. Of course, Stacy was a teenager and not fully mature.

I feel so bad for the children, especially the children by Kathleen. I have to believe that they know or suspect that Dad murdered Mom. How very sad.

This story reminds me of the day trader in Atlanta who murdered several people as well as his second wife and two children by his first marriage. I remember the wife's name being Leanne. This guy, David ?, most probably murdered his first wife and her mother, but police could never prove it. He got a large settlement from his first wife's death and promptly invested and lost it day trading. Leanne had to suspect David of the first wife's murder. How couldn't you? He was having an affair with her and told her that his situation would be cleared up shortly or something like that.

I don't understand how these women can be in such denial. Don't they understand that their days are numbered, too?

Wow, after reading Kathleen's letter to the SA, I'm shocked. It seems that Stacy was a big part of antagonizing this woman.

From Kathleen's letter, we see that Stacy apparently had a clue as to how Drew was BEFORE she married him. Maybe being so young at the time, she really was naive and thought that he wasn't going to treat her like how Drew treated Kathleen.

But just from reading this letter alone, it appears that Drew had a habit of abusing his power, both in the police department and in his marital affairs. Kathleen said it best when she said he acts as if he is "above the law."

Now, it's time for the law to catch up with his sorry .

 

[dee10134]

Another thought I just had. I don't want to smear Stacy's name in any way, BUT considering Kathleen's letter, the though I had was that maybe it's possible that Stacy knew about DP's involvement in the death of Kathleen Savio.

When Stacy began threatening divorce to Drew, Drew probably got scared that Stacy would tell LE or the divorce courts about the murder of Kathleen and he would be imprisoned. So the only way around this was to make Stacy disappear before she ever got her day in divorce court........ and leaked any info about Kathleen Savio.

He had to kill Kathleen because she was getting in his way and now Stacy has disappeared because she was about to get in his way!

It's just a theory based off of what I've read.

 

[dee10134]

Also, anyone else find it completely coincidental that both Kathleen and Stacy were enrolled in nursing programs at Joliet Junior College?

I wonder if wives 1 and 2 were also going to school for nursing. IDK if that matters or not, but I found it interesting nonetheless...

 

[dee10134]

I find it odd that petitioner (Kathleen Savio Peterson) is granted custody of jewelry in the order of protection. They must have been arguing about that engagement ring for quite some time...

 

[SuziQ]

I fear greatly for Kathleen's children. The horror the son must have felt having to go live with a man who he feared so much he sent a letter to Santa asking for his dad to leave his mom alone.

ETA: this little boy, no matter what was told to him, had to have known that his dad was responsible for his mom's death. Has he lived the past four years wondering if he's next? The thought breaks my heart.

For some reason my computer will not pull up these letters. What did it say about Stacey antagonizing Kathleen?

My heart just breaks for him too Suzie. I can imagine having to live with that monster after what he did to their mother.

It's a scanned photo of the actual letter. And I was going to type portions of what it said regarding Stacey. I think traffic is slowing down the AMW link. The doc froze up on me.

IMO, while the letter sheds new light on Stacey's character. Her behavior was atrocious. I'm going to keep telling myself she was young and stupid.

 

[STEADFAST]

For some reason my computer will not pull up these letters. What did it say about Stacey antagonizing Kathleen?

IIRC, it said that Stacey and Drew would roller blade past her house and drive by and stop and stare, that Stacey flipped her off, that Stacey video taped her while Drew threw her to the ground to "arrest" her, that Stacey showed Kathleen's son her engagement ring and wedding dress while Kathleen and Drew were still married. That's all I can remember, and I'm not sure I remember it totally correctly.

========================================================

November 14, 2002

Elizabeth Fragale
Assistant States Attorney

States Attorney
121 N. Chicago Street
Joliet, Illinois 60432

Ms. Fragale,

On three different occasions I have tried to reach you over the phone regarding charges I filed against Drew Peterson, on the date of July 5, 2002.

Note, I did contact the Police Department, and talked to the assistant Chief Mike Calcagno, in reference to Drew Break in that same weekend. I than filed a report in regards to my safety, from Drew by two officer that arrive at my residents 392 Pheasant Chase, Bolingbrook, Il, 60490.

When I found out Mr. Peterson was having an affair with a minor at the police department, he began to get very violent. By striking me with his hand and chasing me through the house with a police stick. At that time on record, I had to get an order of protection from him.

Their has been several times throughout my marriage with this man where I ended up at the emergency room in Bolingbrook for injuries, and I have reported this only to have the police leave my home without filing any reports.

On July 5th, Mr. Peterson got into my home with a garage door opener he programmed for himself, while I was out of town with my son's. I was unaware of his presents, and was very afraid for my live. This man pop out from our living room while I was walking down stair, with a basket of laundry. I was shocked and dropped all the cloths and stood their, asking him to get out. Drew was in uniform (Swat Uniform), with his police radio in his ear. He yelled, for me to sit down and be quiet I refused and he pushed me on the stairs. He told me to move down to the third step and not to move or speak. He was very angry that in our divorce the judge ruled he would have to pay me child support. He told me he didn't want to pay me anything. (He left my boys 8 and 9,and I With many bills, up to 2,000.00 and with an 11,000.00 income tax bill, as well as 6800.00 property tax bill for us to pay. Needless to say we are without money or any credit) He kept me in a position for a very long length of time, while trying to convince me how horrible I am, and I just need to die. He asked me several times if I was afraid, I started to panic! He pulled out his knife, that he kept around his leg and brought it to my neck. I thought I'd never see my boys again. I just told him to end this craziness and he for some reason pulled back. I didn't tell the police because I know they can't protect me from him. I know he will be back; he's now attempting to try to make me look like the bad guy, with untrue charges of Battery against him, and his 17 yr. Girlfriend. The sick thing is I really think they're enjoying this. Over the summer they went out of their way to roller blade right in front of my home, drive by and stop for long lengths of time in front of the house. Childish things like his girl friend flipping me off if I was out in front with the kids while driving by.

At the present time my children have been in a program at school called rainbows, in efforts to repair some of the damage Drew and his girlfriend has created. One of which Drew falsely arrested me in front of my children with my face in the grass and calling me a criminal for hitting his girlfriend, which didn't happen. Instead she called me a bounce of inappropriate name in front of my children, so I felt it was necessary to get them back in the house away from this. When I ran to the truck, it being very high up I notices Stacy his girl friend taping me, with the stolen camera Drew took from our home. I attempted to take the camera and my next goal was to return to my home with my children. But I was thrown to the ground and treated like an outlaw, and booked and arrested for no reason. My wrist was sprained, when I was being thrown to the ground and held down by Drew, who was not on duty at the time. While this was happening my children were being held against their own will, by [blacked out, but you can read above and below the marker, it clearly says "Stacy Cales"], while she told them to sit down and be quiet. My son's phyc is working with them but states, "she can't fix what continue to happen on a on going basis". My eight year old come home from spending 1 hour with his dad, because he really is never there, and pushes his sons and girlfriend on my son all the time, and expressed to me that he was confused! It seemed that Drews live in girl friend showed both my sons her wedding dress and ring, and told them she was going to marry their father. Of course that's okay, for Adults, but when my boys come home with tears in their eyes, still hoping for mom and dad to get back together again, it become heart breaking and very confusing to them. They don't understand how dad can get married if he's still married to their mommy. The list goes on, and I understand it's just part of it, but it need to stop. My sons and I would like to move away from this area, for our safety and sanctity. I am a full time Nursing Student and Drew left me while in the middle of the program. I don't want my career or my sons to suffer this nightmare anymore.

He knows how to manipulate the system, and his next step is to take my children away. Or Kill me instead.

I really would like to know why this man wasn't charged with this unlawful entry, and attempt on my life. I am willing to take any test you want me to take to prove my innocents of charges against me, and also any lie detector test, on the my statement I filed against him. I really feel, Drew is a loose cannon, he out on the streets of Bolingbrook patrolling, and just taking the law into his own hands. I haven't received help from the Police here in Bolingbrook, and asking for your help now. Before it's to late. I really hope by filing this charge it might stop him from trying to hurt us.

Thank you for filling me in Steadfast and Suzi. While that is just terrible I am still going to hope she was just young and stupid too Suzi.

 

[SuziQ]

Thank you Dee! :blowkiss:

 

[dee10134]

Thank you Dee! :blowkiss:

It's my honor. You guys are very welcome!!!

 

[calidreamin]

Thank you for posting the whole letter Dee. My god what that poor women went thru. I can't believe she was ignored for so long. Then she is murdered in the bathtub and it is ruled an accident. I am amazed he got away with all that. Why also was he still on the police force? What a disgrace!

 

[STEADFAST]

Thank you for filling me in Steadfast and Suzi. While that is just terrible I am still going to hope she was just young and stupid too Suzi.

Me, too. People do stupid things when they're in love. Plus, who knows what Drew was telling her about Kathleen. It does bring up some questions in my mind as to motives for this recent possible murder.

 

[Betsy]

I'm not sure what is more sad....a woman like Laci Peterson, who was content in her life and marriage, ready to be a mom, and then all of a suddenly is brutally murdered by her husband...

OR...

This poor woman, Kathleen, who KNEW what her husband was capable of, who saw all the signs, who BEGGED for someone to do something, and then is brutally murdered (MY opinion, of course) by her husband and he GETS AWAY WITH IT!

At least SCOTT Peterson is getting what he deserves--hopefully DREW Peterson will too--real soon....

My late husband and I started dating when he was going through nasty divorce. Nothing on the level we are reading about in this case. But there was no way you could have convinced me at the time that the ex wife was a nice person or likeable. After my husband passed away his ex and I worked to keep the kids in contact. In fact, our oldest daughters are best friends. I love this lady. And she is a very nice person. As long as you aren't divorcing her that is.

That was my first thought. Stacy was probably thinking that if she "assisted" Drew then he wouldn't treat her the same way.

I hate to say this but I think I feel more for Kathleen (don't bash me...both cases are very very tragic). But at least Laci didn't see it coming. Kathleen lived in fear every day....

What is it with the name Peterson??? Ugh...
