Disappearance of cop's fourth wife suspicious, relatives say
CNN ^ | 11/06/07

BOLINGBROOK, Illinois (CNN) -- Police are using tracking dogs, airplanes, infrared sensors and volunteers on foot Tuesday to look for a young mother who disappeared nine days ago, leaving her 4- and 2-year-old children behind.

Stacy Peterson, 23, has been missing from her suburban Chicago home since October 28.

1 of 2 Friends and relatives of Stacy Peterson, 23, say her disappearance is suspicious.

Her husband of four years, Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, 53, reportedly has told police his wife said she was leaving him for another man, and police are not treating the disappearance as a criminal investigation.

But the woman's aunt, Candace Aikin, of El Monte, California, said Stacy Peterson confided in her that there were problems during a visit to the Peterson home in suburban Chicago last month.

"She said that she was afraid because he was following her around 24/7, even inside the house," Aikin said. "He was very obsessed and stalking her, even inside her house.

"She was very, very full of stress and just not happy in her marriage at all," Aikin said.

When she first went missing and the story was being discussed I though “wow, what a shocking similarity in the names.”.

But local prosecutors are taking another look at the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, who drowned in a bathtub after the couple had divorced.

Savio’s sister, Sue Doman, said Savio expressed fear of Drew Peterson.

“She told me all the time, ‘He’s gonna kill me. It’s gonna look like an accident,’ “ Doman said.

Any word on how the investigation into his 3rd wife's death is going?

It was ruled an accidental bathtub drowning....but now that this has happened they are looking into it.

According to the headline, the cop has had four wives disappear. Odd.

A realtive of mine was a young woman when she was married to a much older policeman.

She described her married life as "one long surveillance with me as the subject."

I'll point out that while she may or may not have decided to leave him to be with another man, it is unlikely that she would have left without the children - especially children that age.

I saw an episode like that on CSI...

I agree something sounds soooooooooo wrong in the third wife's death and the fouth wife's disappearance.

I agree, if she was complaining to friends about his controlling nature and things like that, she would have never left her children behind.

Yeah. What’s a 19 year old doing running around with a 49 year old—or at least one that isn’t rich? Strange.

If I was that girl’s father I’d have told her no way you are you marrying some 49 year old pervert. Those type of realationships do not end well. I pray for her and for her kids. But, I do expect the worst.

Hum.. I read years ago that if someone’s head is suddenly submerged in a bathtub by pulling upwards on their feet, there is frequently a “startle” response that causes them to breath in.
