Can someone tell us what kind of regulation or law exists in the Bolingbrook PD (and any other PDs) that would prevent an internal investigation from proceeding simply because the central figure in the investigation submits and has his resignation accepted? What justification is there for such a regulation? In light of the events of the past few weeks (in particular, the blatantly obvious mishandling of Savio's death), a full investigation is in order, regardless of the status of DP's resignation.

PeekrMan, welcome.

I agree with you. I think an investigation should continue regardless of DP's status.

1 thing that bothers me about DP is the smug look on his face any time he talks. There has never been even a hint of sadness or hurt. If everything he says could be true IMO it would be devestating that your wife has left you, not only would you be terribly hurt, but you would also be sick at what it would do to your children. There would be so many layers of emotion to go through, all, the hurt, the anger, I see no emoton at all, just a cold calculating speel now trying to get himself a free lawyer. He certainly does not look like he's missed any meals or sleep during this time either, he's just annoyed it's gotten the media attention and now the scrutiny into the past he won't be able to squirm his way out of.
I do think it funny that his initials are DP, when I see that I always think DP=death penalty :)

This doesn't add much to the case, but just as an FYI, the CLTV went to Drew's first wife's house today and spoke to her husband who said she had never experienced any abuse of any sort from Drew Peterson. The husband stood just inside the door and looked kind of uncomfortable to me.

In light of what we've heard from the 2nd wife (through her daughter) and from what Kathleen Savio documented prior to her death, I wonder if what the husband of the first wife stated is true, or do they just don't want to be involved?

Pam at the family presser yesterday said Drews comment on the Today show about the media, was the most telling thing of all. She said, IIRC, that he doesn't fear LE because he's been able to slide by them all these years. He fears the media because of public opinion and they will eventually be his jury.

What exactly does a duty sargeant do? Is he at the station assigning jobs or is he free to roam around in his car? (I remember him saying this during the Today show interview, I believe.)

First, a correction: it was WGN not CLTV who went out to the Brown's house.

No way to know whether it was true or not, I guess. But it seems obvious they don't want to get involved. CLTV just aired a slightly different version, in which they merely paraphrased what Dave Brown said. According to that, the first wife "believes Peterson is innocent until proven guilty." Not that she believes he is factually innocent, you'll notice! The husband didn't seem all indignant that Peterson was being falsely accused, to me it seemed he just wanted the cameras to go away.

Hmm. I remember a case of a policeman in CA that was pulling over and killing women while his records stated he was across town giving out tickets.

The investigation can continue, however, whatever its findings they can no longer "punish" a person who is not their employee. And pensions, once granted, cannot be taken away. I was a civil servant (NYPD cop) and never in my life had I ever seen a person lose their pension even after it was found out that they had committed crimes while on the force.

This mayor did DP a HUGE favor not only for granting the pension but in preventing a second internal investigation into DPs involvement into Stacy's disappearance.

Hopefully when the fire and police comission meet on Tuesday, they won't allow this to happen.

Hi Steadfast!

Wow, no, Rosen isn't the one I was thinking of. I hadn't heard of this creep. Yikes.

This happened a few years ago. I think he was a highway patrolman, and he killed one woman that I remember. Nobody could believe it was him at first. He lied on his logs as to his location etc.

Did it happen around San Diego? I saw one of those true crime shows about this happening there but can't remember the names.ETA just remembered the name.
He ended up killing a girl.

In 1986, Peyer was a 13-year patrol veteran so amped up by his power that he liked to brag, “There are two people you don’t piss off in this world: God and a Highway Patrolman–and not necessarily in that order.” He was a hot pencil who kept CHP brass happy by writing more tickets than anybody. Secretly, he was using his highly polished Badge 8611 to stalk young women for weird, sexually tinged power games. He’d order them to his “favorite spot” off the I-15 freeway, and chat them up about their love lives, often for hours at a time. He’d get into their cars and fondle their handbrakes. He’d take them on little rides deeper into the desolate dead end of Mercy Road.

Yes, I have been trying to locate the story of the CHP patrolman as well. He was stationed out in the desert. Murdered I can't remember how many women. There was a movie of the week made about this case, IIRC.
