Authorities on Tuesday searched for a young Bolingbrook mother of two who left home Sunday morning to meet with a relative and help rehab a home. — continued: »

Excerpt: State's Atty. James Glasgow, who was not in office at the time of that case, said Tuesday he wants to review the Savio file.

"I was not the state's attorney when this case was processed, so for purposes of this investigation, this is being re-looked at," Glasgow said, adding that the jury's ruling at the 2004 inquest was not binding on his office.

He declined to discuss what, if any, connection there might be between the Savio case and the search for Peterson, saying only that "there are some unusual circumstances in the 2004 [Savio] case."

Man says wife leaving him

Cop says missing woman likely safe

chicagotribune.com - Erika Slife, Matthew Walberg and Hal Dardick - October 31, 2007

The veteran Bolingbrook police sergeant whose wife has been missing since Sunday told the Tribune he believes she left him for another man, but that she is safe.

Sitting at a desk in his house Wednesday afternoon, unshaven and with bags under his eyes, Drew Peterson, 53, said his wife, Stacy, 23, called him about 9 p.m. Sunday and told him she was leaving.

That was the last time her cell phone was used, police said.

"Sorry, I get choked up about it," Peterson said, his voice cracking. "I believe she's with someone else, but I believe she's safe."

As the couple's two children, ages 2 and 4, scampered around the house, he talked about celebrating the couple's fourth wedding anniversary Oct. 18. He bought her a diamond ring—a present he said she couldn't wait to have, so she made him give it to her at midnight. — continued: »

In the months before Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson's ex-wife drowned in her own bathtub in 2004, she told a relative she had detailed notes about her fights with her ex-husband -- just in case something bad happened to her.

Shortly before Peterson's current wife, Stacy A. Peterson, went missing earlier this week, she began telling her relatives she wanted people to know she was afraid -- in case she disappeared. — continued: »

His side: Sgt. Drew Peterson

suntimes.com - DAN ROZEK AND STEFANO ESPOSITO - November 1, 2007

Drew Peterson believes his missing wife left voluntarily -- even taking extra clothes with her -- and isn't a victim of foul play, the Bolingbrook police sergeant said Wednesday, breaking his silence on the puzzling disappearance of Stacy Peterson.

"I believe she's not missing. She's where she wants to be," he said. "I have no reason to suspect foul play."

His 23-year-old wife has been seeing a psychiatrist, taking Effexor, a prescription anti-depressant medication and struggling with "mood issues" since the cancer death last year of her sister, Peterson said during a brief interview in the couple's Bolingbrook home.

"Ever since then, Stacy has been different," the 53-year-old Peterson said. "There's been mood issues. She's been under the care of a psychiatrist." — continued: »

Peterson's uncle, Gary Cales, 68, of Hemet, Calif., agreed: "I know damn well she wouldn't go without them kids. I just know that for sure. That's the kind of mother she is. She loved those children." — continued: »

Husband: Not first time wife has taken off

suburbanchicagonews.com - JOE HOSEY The Herald News - November 1, 2007

BOLINGBROOK -- Stacy Peterson might come home again after blowing off some steam. Or she might not. Her mother hasn't yet, her son-in-law says, and she left eight years ago.

"I believe she's either going to tell people where she is or she's going to go down deeper, like how her mom did," said Peterson's husband, police Sgt. Drew Peterson.

Drew Peterson, 53, said this isn't the first time his 23-year-old wife split on him. She had taken off on him before, he said, when their children or he got to be too much. "She would take off for a few hours like this," Peterson said. "She would say she would vent."

If this is the case again, Stacy Peterson has been venting for a while. She hasn't been seen since Sunday morning. — continued: »

Bolingbrook Cop Denies Involvement In Wife's Disappearance

BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS 2/WBBM) - A Bolingbrook Police sergeant says he believes his missing wife left voluntarily on Sunday.

53-year old Drew Peterson tells the Chicago Tribune he believes his 23-year-old wife Stacy Peterson is safe and that she left him for another man. He tells the Sun Times she'd been taking anti-depressants. — continued: »

Excerpt: Drew and Stacy Peterson have been married for four years. She disappeared seemingly without a trace. Sgt. Peterson didn't want to go on camera but he did allow CBS 2 inside for a 10-minute conversation.
