Suspect Drew Peterson #1

[angelmom]

Well, maybe she didn't know for sure. Like maybe she knew in her heart, but didn't know enough to tell anyone.

Who would she tell? Obviously she couldn't go to the police. They weren't looking too hard at Drew. The mayor is no prize. She didn't have any evidence. So is the FBI or State Police going to listen to the suspicions of the teenaged mistress???

I'm imagining him telling her just enough to screw with her head. Nothing outright, just little things to make her wonder. Vague threats that could be taken multiple ways, that he could explain as innocent misunderstandings by a "hormonal" woman.

Like, "Be careful. I'd hate to lose you." and when he demanded to know where she was all the time..."I just don't want what happened to Kathleen [or "your mother"] to happen to you." etc.

She must have been terrified, and wondering if she was losing it.

I completely agree with your post and thoughts. I've thought them myself. Could you imagine how lonely she must have felt, losing 2 sisters when you're little, another sister that you love so much to a horrible disease, and living with the reality that your mom left you too. I just couldn't imagine how sad and alone i'm sure she felt.
And on top of all that - you're married to a complete self centered jerk - i'm sure she knew what kind of man he truely is and that's why she probably wanted out.:twocents:

I thought this was an interesting typo. Freudian slip, anyone?

LOL! And I thought "incestigation" was a pun intended!!!!

(Above pic is the Chief of Police in Bolingbrook, Illinois)
All day long I have been blogging about the acceptance of Sgt. Peterson’s resignation from the police department — the acceptance of the resignation opposed by the Chief of Police. The Chief wants to conduct a full investigation of Sgt. Peterson and can’t do it if Peterson is allowed to resign and is no longer on the police force.
I now have a copy of the letter (More at link)

I thought it was the best pun I had seen in a long time!

 

[Taximom]

Yeah, Peterson is just looking out for himself as usual with that quick resignation letter.

Is it just me or do you feel like you could just vomit when you see this guy. I think his arrogance and lack of feeling any emotion could just be the worse of any of the women killers we have had as suspects on WS to date. Not even a tear, not even a look of sorrow and that menstrual cycle comment...he is not anything close to being remorseful or grieving over his missing wife.

Not even a plea from him re: his children! "PLEASE COME HOME NOW, Stacy, THE KIDS MISS YOU SO MUCH."

Eyes for Lies has a review of DP's Today interview along with her opinion about his honesty. Good reading.

Good grief, I just had a thought. I did not see the interview, but the transcript I read said something about the kids being "taken care of" in case DP has to to prison. He almost implied that he had thought out what will happen to them if he gets the death penalty.

WHAT IF he is prepared to pull a "Sound of Music"-type escape after his "performance" in New York? That would explain why he did that interview even though he hates the media and has been hiding his face. You can go anywhere from New York.

People in high places do not want information coming out, they might offer to help him disappear. Although I wonder why they wouldn't just kill him and make it look like suicide. Wouldn't that be karma!

:silenced: :silenced:

That is so true! Why, if he really believes Stacy is out there vacationing with some man, would he not plead with her to come home for the children's sake?
It's all so ridiculous. He's not fooling anyone.

He did the interview to get free legal representation. I agree with EyesForLies on this, that's pretty much the sole reason he did the interview. He was more thinking along the lines of "If/when I get life in prison or the death penalty, the kids are taken care of." I think. :twocents:

Thank-you for posting this TGIR, very interesting.

I agree. The trial(s) will be very expensive. Even if he ends up being declared innocent, he will have spent $$$ to again walk the streets. Sad for the kids.

It's interesting to think of DP in a greedy way. He was 11 days from retirement, but may have wanted it all to himself. Was he one murder away from a perfect criminal life?

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Give me a break...this man doesn't think in terms of what will happen to his children! He hasn't before so why would anyone think he would start now?! He doesn't give a hoot if his kids are taken care of or he wouldn't be instrumental in "losing" their mother.

 

[curiositycat]

This was an excellent commentary, the best I have seen or heard regarding the interview. It was right on IMHO. Thanks for the link:blowkiss:

I watched when he didn't look into the camera to ask Stacy to come home and his laugh when asking her to do so. It was the most insincere plea I've ever seen, imo. I would think that if he knows that she left for another man he would look directly into the camera and ask her to PLEASE contact someone. This guy is so arrogant!

 

[englishleigh]

It occurred to me that DP's remarks about Stacy always talking divorce when she was on her period but might have been an attempt at a setup to maybe explain away in the future any blood that might be found....

I can't believe he said the "kids are taken care of". They will have a very tough life and will have to live with a horrible legacy their father left them if he goes to prison.
