Another Cop with a Missing Wife
Far be it from us to accuse anyone of a crime but is it our imagination or are women of police officers having a little trouble staying alive. This Officer of the law who is on his fourth marriage already has one ex found drowned in a bathtub with no water.
Drew Peterson, 53, a 29-year police veteran, said he believes his wife left voluntarily, even taking clothes with her. He said she’s been suffering from “mood issues” since her sister Tina Ryan death’s last year from colon cancer.
“Ever since then, Stacy has been different,” Peterson said. “. . . She’s been under the care of a psychiatrist.” She’s taking anti-depressants, he said.
“She seemed snotty,” Drew Peterson said, describing the call as “unusual,” though he wouldn’t disclose details of what was said.
“I believe she’s not missing,” he said. “She’s where she wants to be. I have no reason to suspect foul play.”
Besides the disappearance of his wife, Drew Peterson is also dealing with Will County prosecutors’ decision to take another look at the 2004 drowning death of his ex-wife, Kathleen Savio.

In 2004, Drew Peterson’s third wife, Kathleen Savio, 40, was found dead in a bathtub, and a coroner ruled the death accidental. Prosecutors are reviewing the case.
Documents show that Savio filed for an emergency order of protection from her husband, writing in the file that “he wants me dead and if he has to he will burn the house down just to shut me up.”
Stacy Peterson’s family reported her missing early Monday, asking the state police to investigate.
Betty Morphey, Drew Peterson’s mother, told FOX News that she just saw Stacy last weekend, talking about plans for Thanksgiving.
Morphey said she doesn’t know anything about her disappearance, adding that Drew and Stacy were happy.
“As far as we know, everything is fine with them. They get along,” Morphey said.
But Stacy Peterson is the third wife to vanish in the last six months in the Chicago area, the latest in a series of mothers whose families say they would never leave their children behind.

It is quite possible that this man killed his wife. But it is also possible that what he is saying is true. Various reports show a very emotionally unstable woman. Here we have a 23 year old woman, who married a man 30 years her senior - a man who had been married three times and who’s last estranged wife died of questionable causes. This single fact indicates that the woman was not thinking clearly and certainly had psychological issues — issues, which would attract men who like to abuse women.
In other reports, her family is mystified, but friends state that she’d been sullen and short-tempered for four years. She was only 23 years old, but had two children, ages 2 and 4, from a previous marriage. Her new huband also had children, which she adopted. Why would she do this? Regardless of her reasons, she was much too young to shoulder such heady responsibilities.
So, she has children that she probably does love, but probably cannot adequately care for. She has a supposedly abusive and controlling husband, she’d recently lost a sister and she’s showing signs of emotional instability. All of these things lend credence to her husband’s claim that she ran off with another man. Such situations are quite common in very young women, who find themselves in over their heads. So while her husband may have killed her, it is much more probable that she simply flew the coup and will eventually be found, as he husband indicates, with another man.
