The Blue Barrel in the Bedroom? #2

[Littledeer]

I have no problem with the theory about Stacy being put in a "blue barrel".

The problem comes from "kids being in the house". Not just one, but 4!

I honestly can't see DP killing SP at home and putting her in a barrel, then calling/paying somone to help him move a barrel out to a vehicle, etc.

I can see, the son who told Cassandra "they had a fight, and Dad left to find her"......

Only in the inquest would the son be able to say "what time did that occur at"?? THAT IS THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING..............(IMO)

What if Stacy did leave in her vehicle, and then DP told the kids, hey I got to go after "Mom" so I can talk to her. It was my fault.....you guys be good and watch tv.........etc. etc. etc.

DP catches up to her vehicle, and she stops and they both get of of their vehicles to talk..............DP flies in a rage with whatever Stacy said..strangles her........puts her in her trunk and moves the car off the road.

Now, this is where I know I am wrong on this theory. It's the time frame.......

It would be interesting to get a DP reaction to all the media attention to the barrel. Part of me thinks he might be leading everyone on a wild goose chase, but part of me thinks she is in the barrel. Now, just find the darn thing.

Little Deer, remember that Drew P is the parent. If he tells the kids to stay out of parents bedroom, they probably will. If Drew P tells them to go to their room and watch TV, they probably will.

I hear you. But I'm sorry........unless the TV is up very loud so the kids do not hear Stacy struggling or ANY NOISE from upstairs.......AND, they, all 4 keep their heads glued straight ahead to watch tv, while DP brings a body downstairs and out to the garage..............

nope, just can't see that scenario.

Okay............let's take it further. As you say.........not allowed up in our room. Stacy is dead. DP comes downstairs and kids are still watching TV.
He goes about his duties, out to the garage, etc. sees the barrel...etc.

We do have a LONG TIME FRAME HERE!!!!

DP must have been manipulating the kids the whole time to be able to get Stacy out of the house if he did NOT kill her outside out it. IMO

I know of a way we can narrow it down but it may be time consuming.

If this person tried to commit suicide, it's probable that 911 was called.

Do the Bolingbrook/surrounding areas list the police and fire logs in the local papers? If so, maybe we can check the archives for that day and see where calls were dispatched to. Actually, we'd need to check the areas that would have taken patients to that hospital, too.

From there I/we can do reverse address searches and compare names w/DP's associates.

i think DP could have over-powered Stacy, without anyone in the house hearing it...

You know....DP could have killed Stacey upstairs while the kids were down stairs watching tv. I mean it could have happened that way. DP could have moved the body after he tucked all the kids into bed that night. He could have easily carried her downstairs.....
Although, that would be chancing the children waking up and catching him.

Fox News - national not local - is now reporting on the man who tried to commit suicide and helped with the blue barrel. They interviewed Mary Frances Bragiel a local reporter (Chicago?) who stated that the man who tried to commit suicide is a FAMILY MEMBER.

They interviewed Craig Wall who said LE has found several blue barrels in their water searches and they've been taken back to police labs for testing. He also said that at this point they aren't sure if the blue barrel was put in water or buried. They showed on the screen a view of a river and a blue barrel lodged on the bank. I think this was for illustration only.

--->>>I copied your post Leila over from my original thread on the Blue Barrel.

Sounds to me like LE is putting all the pieces together and more NEW news is not leaking out, they are keeping a lid on things. I hope they are able to find her body.

IN FACT it would not surprise me IF they have not already found the barrel and the body. Wishful thinking on my part. I have missed any info on what BODY of water the sonar activity is taking place on, anyone know?

I hope one of the adopted children saw 'the' man, what a help that would be. I don't suppose those kiddies went to Sunday School and might have been gone on Sunday. WE don't know the time of day that the barrel was moved do WE, anyone know for certain?

I'm not saying that kids didn't hear part of it. But just that they may not have seen her taken out in the barrel, they may not have seen who helped. But yes, they probably heard any struggle. Remember it was soon after police talked with them that they started talking homicide and saying that Drew P was a suspect.

i'm confused....i read somewhere...uh, i THINK it was at Stacy's site (Cassandra's) that there was chlorine in the barrel, & the reason we know this is because the pool guy that delivered it gave this information because he thought it was strange that DP needed pool supplies at this time of year.....IF this is true, then wouldn't all of this be premeditated?

do we know when the barrel of chlorine was delivered?

According to the thread "Who Are The Key Players", Matt Simmons is not the husband of Drew Peterson's sister, Laura. Matt is the husband of Stacy's half-sister, Kerry.

I did a search and I think I've found information on Drew Peterson's sister, Laura. She is Laura L. Peterson, age 50. She's been married twice, to Michael E. Morris (age 52) - one child, Paige Morris (age 23); and to Michael J. Robeck (age 60) - one child, Nicole.

Laura, under her married name of Morris, is listed as living in Naperville, Illionois.

I believe Laura married Michael E. Morris first, and is currently married to Michael J. Robeck, who's has numerous addresses in Missouri, Rapid City, South Dakota, and three cities in Illinois - Monticello, Ivesdale and Bement. His daughter, Nicole, is listed only in Rapid City, South Dakota.

Maybe Stacy was never in the blue barrel but incrimanating evidence was....

I personally think that Stacy was murdered away from the house. Inroute to somewhere else and I have posted that before. The 4 children being at home, and we know Drew must love kids or he wouldn't have so many, alerts us to the fact that he would not have done that there. The children knowing there was a bad disagreement between the parents that day lends credence to Drew's story that she left for another man. Yet I don't think she did that, but possibly left the house to paint or just get away from Drew for the moment. And remember the children said they had a bad fight and Mom left..later Dad went to look for her. This says to me something took place outside the house..still the idea of the blue barrel in the bedroom is baffling..why move it to the bedroom...unless there was something in there he didn't want LE to find.

oooooh, good thinking DD!
hmmm, i guess it's just rumor about the nightstand being missing, but MAYBE he put it & anything else that may have had DNA/fluids etc...

myster:

Correct me If I am wrong. But I didn't think LE said Stacy's case was a homicide until AFTER Kathleen's exhumation???? I have not been able to keep up every single day here as much as I would love to. I just want DP to get where I think he belongs! (Highlighted the initials, just to make me feel better as I am not allowed to use any other names).

 

[itsreenw]

Just a thought on the kids not hearing anything...the oldest son said they'd argued earlier in the day, so let's assume he heard loud voices. If during the argument DP straddled and choked Stacy, the kids wouldn't hear anything more. Once your air passage is cut off, you can't scream.

I would think the kids were scared of DP after seeing how abusive he was to both moms. I believe if he told them stay in the room and don't come out that is exactly what they'd do.

And odd for DP to take that reporter into the basement. What significance did that have? It's possible that Stacy was trying to leave the house and DP followed her downstairs and forced her into the basement where he killed her.

The kids at some point must have asked where she was because the oldest son told his Aunt Cassandra that Stacy went to Grandpa's house.

Then later he said the parents had a fight and DP went looking for her. So did the son hear them fighting after SP supposedly went to grandpa's house?When did the 2 stories surface?

Delta:

Your statement here "Drew must love kids or he wouldn't have had so many"..

I don't know if I want to laugh or cry. I sure as he** he don't love them as much as much as he supposedly loved his wifes.

However, you are thinking that Stacy left the house and DP went after her. I think the "barrel" was in the garage and there was a "blue tub" in the bedroom.

I am sitting here in my computer room, and I see one blue "tub" full of dirty clothes.

I think a lot of us got confused on this wording of "barrel" vs. "tub"

 

[mysteriew]

IMO I think there has been only one container- but that it has been described variously as barrel, drum, container and rubbermaid container. I think they are all the same thing.

 

[close_enough]

fox is reporting it's "possible" the mystery man is DP's step-brother....

i'm waiting on Greta's show....i'm not going to put any stock in things i'm reading at Cassandra's site either....they're getting all their info from the media also....

 

[Littledeer]

what is the step brothers' name?? Does anyone know??

That would be about right as far as timing. But remember, Kathleen's death has not officially been called a homicide yet. So police would not have had justification for calling Stacy's disappearance a homicide or calling Drew P a suspect.

But while we were all watching for info about Kathleen's autopsy, LE slipped in the info that they had already interviewed the children. And it was right about that time that they announced that Drew P was a suspect in Stacy's disappearance and that they suspected that the investigation into Stacy might be a homicide.
