Steve Carcerano

[tagalong]

It's hard for any of us to imagine ourselves in the same situation. Try to imagine yourself confronted with a neighbor's relative telling you that your neighbor hasn't been seen or heard from in two days. That relative asks if you will accompany them in searching the neighbor's house. You agree and during the search you find your neighbor dead - naked in her bathtub, with blood around the drain. Imagine how you'd react. Do you think you would ever forget any details of that night? It's the stuff that nightmares are made of, and not something you'd easily forget, even though you wish you could.

As humans, we tend to remember with vivid clarity the major, out-of-the-ordinary, events in our lives. Most of us won't ever find a dead body - murder victim. The closest we might come to the same shock and vivid recall is the events of September 11, 2001. Each of us here can probably remember in detail, where we were, who we were with, what was said, and how we reacted when we heard the news that terrorists had flown airplanes into the World Trade Center. It's that kind of shock, but on a more personal level, that one would encounter in finding a dead body.

With Steve Carcerano adding or changing details, and reciting the story as if it were a well-rehearsed monologue for a play, his story has all the appearances of a cover story. The big question is why would Steve cover for DP? It has to be something big. DP fixing Steve's gambling debts has been suggested, but I think it's something bigger than that. Steve is somehow indebted to DP for something major.

Do we know for sure that there was actually a "Mary" present when Katheleen was found?

Where has everyone gone?

It's New Years Eve, dear tagalong.
Maybe people are out celebrating.

Yes, we do know for sure that "Mary" was there.

Where has everyone gone?

With all the holidays, there just isn't much news coming out of Bolingbrook.
I think they shut down for a few weeks.

Mary's full name was included on a report which I ran across at Gretawire. I will have to find it again.

I think it would be the same "Mary" that's mentioned in this 07-02-05 Police Report. http://i5.tinypic.com/6yyj9md.jpg​

Using Zaba Search..........Kathleen Savio's house was at 392 Pheasant Chase Dr.; Steven and Margherita Carcerano's house is at 400 Pheasant Chase Dr.; and there's a Harold and Mary J. Edwards at 384 Pheasant Chase Dr.

Because all these addresses end in an even number they're all on the same side of the street. Usually cities skip numbers but adhere to the odd/even rule.....odd number on one side of the street and even on the other.

So it looks like the Savio house was in the middle with the Carcerano house on one side and the Edwards house on the other. Could the Mary who was Kathleen's best friend be Mary J. Edwards? Or is it the Mary listed in the letter linked above?

I also found a Mary Catherine Krause at 408 P.Chase Drive but once I viewed her age thought it would more than like be the Mary P. at 396 P.Chase Drive mentioned in the Police Report.

ETA: You mentioned the odd/even numbering, that threw me off also as Sharon's addy is 5 and the Peterson's is 6 and they next door to one another?????

 

[DeltaDawn]

Street numbers are, I also thought, odd on one side even on the other..however the street I live on everyone has an even number..I think that is up to the township where you live.

Has anyone ever found anything on Mary P? I've run that name through several directories and find nothing on that name. I was hoping to at least get an age and if she's married.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Mary was married with a son at the time Kathleen was found. Someone had mentioned she was around 61 years old, but not certain if that was then or now.

Mary Ponterilli sounds like it would be her if Kathleen called her after the other incident. (Thanks again, Tom'sGirl!)

The last name was spelled wrong in the report. Her name is Marie, often Marie's are referred to as Mary.

PONTARELLI, MARIE A (Age 43)

Yes, I did mention the age of 61 years. Originally I found a Mary K. age 61 with a 40 year old son who lives nearby. BUT, that's not the Mary IMO that was the close friend of Kathleen.

In the police report they mention a 12 year boy, who now would be close to, or is 18 years old.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Ah, OK! Thanks again and again, TG! LOL You are GOOD! : )

 

[DeltaDawn]

TG you are the best at getting the details and keeping them straight for us through out. Thanks for being such a good detail person.

 

[Pharlap]

Ah come on give it a rest.
He's involved, if not both then one of these 2.
3rd and 4th of drew's wife;s.
Let's get real.........:blushing:

When Steve Carcerano was being interviewed on TV by Greta, the Savio family were present too being interviewed about the "accidental" death of Kathleen. It was just a short while after Stacy went missing and Kathleen's sister wondered aloud who this guy is and why is he acting like he was a friend of my sister. The family had never heard Kathleen mention his name. Of course, Steve took umbrage at this and asked the Savios why they didn't they go to the police immediately if they thought Kathleen had been murdered. The Savios had gone to the police but no one listened to them. Steve just ignored their answer. Sorry if you have already read this tidbit because the interview was awhile back before Kathleen's body was exhumed.

We have often questioned why the family never heard of Steve C. His name had become public because he put himself at the scene.

We have often questioned why the family never heard of Steve C. His name had become public because he put himself at the scene. So WHO found Kathleen? Are you saying that the reports are true that the family never heard that Steve C. found her?! I would like to hear the truth of that.

I'd like to hear an explanation all about Steve C's involvement, if any, that night? Have we ever seen the official police report of the reporting officer? And who was that officer..another close friend of Drew's on the force? It is almost hard to accept anything that Drew, Steve or the other officers at that time said because we know what Drew is capable of.

Then on findsp site there was a poster who was also part of organizing the first searches for Stacy who said with authority that he knew Steve was not the first person in Kathleen's house that night..if this is true I am wondering who he felt was the first person in the house..and how he had that info?

Good question. I wonder if that poster was referring to DrewP as the first in the house?

On the question of the Savio's not knowing Steve C. If you had a neighbor who died and you were the one who found her, would you feel it necessary to attend the funeral?.... I would. And I believe I would feel it necessary to speak to the family, and answer any questions they might have if I could.

Now was he there and the family just didn't realize it? Or did he not attend? If I was a family member, I think I would be hunting up the guest book for the visitation/funeral.
