stacy peterson s orbit, those who knew you re would tell you it s a pretty nice place to be. she was pretty, kind, gentle. she was a loving mother, a loving sister. just a wonderful person. she had the biggest heart, she would do anything for you, even though she had so much on her plate. she would drop everything and run to help whoever needed anything. but at the end of october, 2007, it was stacy s family who were dropping everything in a desperate bid to find her. the sense of urgency was almost crippling for her sister, cassandra.
out of drew. but the move backfired, the jury heard smith repeat the story of true confessing to stacey, that he killed kathleen, and this time, there was more. the details about you listening in on the phone call. harry smith said that stacey called me and she said she knew drew had committed this murder, and i could hear drew in the background yelling at her, and that was the last i heard of stacy. it is not so much what she said, but it is him yelling in the background i think that was almost more damning. disastrous, here was a defense witness reinforcing the pastors story, greenberg blamed lead attorney for gambling by putting smith on the stand. did you know he was going to say this?
died by accident and she never trusted drew. i never felt comfortable with him. she says her sister was dazzled by drew when they first met in the early 90s. was she had over heels in love, i mean when she called to talk to, you what would she say to him? actually, drew gave her a picture, and she showed me the picture before i even met him. i said, look, he is a police officer, he is a good guy and treat me good. it was everything that a woman would want and more. he would put on a good show, then? yes, i would say that he does get put on a good show. and how soon before they got married? i would say six months. it was very fast. the couple had those two boys, later adopted by stacy. they moved into this house in bolingbrook. drew charmed neighbors like steve carson motto. drew came over and said if there s anything i ever needed his garage, like a lawnmower, tool, anything ever need.
the way he said it was so absent of emotion and i just knew, do not ask him another question. the pastures last conversation with stacey was in august, 2007. two months before she disappeared. she asked to meet, something urgent. i got there, and she was already sitting there, outside in the café, just like this. she looked concerned and she was quiet. then, very suddenly, she blurted out. she said, he did it. i said, stacey he did what? she said, drew killed kathleen. stacy told the pastor what she knew about that night in 2004. she said drew came home late. at first, he would not say where he had been, but eventually, she he told her enough to make it clear. he had just murdered his ex-wife. he talked about things he could ve done, obviously you could ve not have known what is coming. now, looking back, what are the things that should have been done?
in the hallway. told his story, and eventually went down to the station to make a formal statement. i remember writing out my testimony and i had a video interview, and so i knew at that point that finally had taken it seriously. jim glasgow remembers when it happened. when everyone started buzzing about drew peterson. at what point did you learn of kathleen savio death. that would ve been in 2007, when stacey disappeared. glasgow is the state attorney for will county, but he was not in office when kathleen died in 2004. you have to understand, it was tucked away as an accident so nobody mentioned it or even knew about it in my administration. so, once stacy went missing, of course, people started saying, wait a minute. his other wife died in the bathtub.
