that right there is a red flag. right there, you would think, it would ve caused the police to look at it a little closer than they did. joe says his editor did not share his suspicions, and did not want him to keep digging. the story went nowhere. i had bosses who said it was an accident, we are not writing about this anymore. i guess that is where it ended. but right now, three years later, drew s wife stacey was missing. joe, again, wrote about kathleen s bizarre death, linking the two women to drew and each other. it was not much of a story, but i got it in the paper for the next day. it may have been a small story, but it made a huge impact. coming up. i can only do one of you at a time.
drew said his ex wife would not want him inside his home, regardless of the circumstances. so he waited outside. when we first walked into the house, it was kind of an eerie feeling. it was dead silent in there. you are kind of like, wondering what you are going to find, if you re going to find anything. they went upstairs into kathleen s bedroom, saw the unmade bed and checked the bathroom. i was going towards the bathroom, looked in the tub, and it was kathy laying there naked. mary came into the bathroom right away and she started screaming. drew came running up the stairs right away, ran into the bathroom, first thing he did was checkers balls. and then he started screaming out, what am i going to tell my children, what am i going to tell my children? very distraught. i looked right into the eyes, and he got very emotional very quickly. and then he called the pleas department. kathleen was dead. sue remembers getting the call late that night. i got a call at one in the
