The many wives of Drew Peterson - Part 1

About this episode

Stacy Peterson, 23, was last seen on Sunday morning, October 28, 2007, in Bolingbrook, Illinois by her 53-year-old husband Drew Peterson. Drew, a police sergeant, was a 29-year veteran of the Bolingbrook Police Department. Stacy planned to meet her sister and a friend to paint a rental house. She never showed up; no one was able to locate her all day. Her husband claimed he’d talked to Stacy, his fourth wife, around 9 p.m. when she told him she was leaving him and their four children for another man. No one, not any of Stacy’s friends or family, believed this claim. <br /><br />The investigation into Stacy’s disappearance soon led police to reconsider the mysterious death of Drew’s third wife, Kathleen Savio, who had died under suspicious circumstances in a bathtub three years earlier. In part one of two, we discuss Drew’s background, his four wives, and Kathleen’s untimely death in 2004.<br /><br /><b><a href="https://patreon.com/lovemarrykill" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Listen to parts 1 and 2 now, ad-free on Patreon</a></b>.<br /><br /><b>Sources:</b><br /><ul><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_53d3XSxa70" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_53d3XSxa70</a></li><li><a href="https://people.com/crime/drew-peterson-admitted-to-killing-missing-wife-stacy-peterson-inmate-says/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://people.com/crime/drew-peterson-admitted-to-killing-missing-wife-stacy-peterson-inmate-says/</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr5Owy66pfE" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr5Owy66pfE</a></li><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Drew-Peterson-American-Murder-Mystery/dp/B0754PLDJ8/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Drew Peterson: An American Murder Mystery</a></li><li><a href="http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/300018.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/300018.html</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna22429822" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna22429822</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/i-will-be-back-stacy-petersons-sister-speaks-after-fbi-search-at-joliet-canal/2645089/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/i-will-be-back-stacy-petersons-sister-speaks-after-fbi-search-at-joliet-canal/2645089/</a></li><li><a href="https://www.npr.org/2010/02/20/123895647/peterson-courts-await-ruling-on-drews-law" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.npr.org/2010/02/20/123895647/peterson-courts-await-ruling-on-drews-law</a></li><li><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3923116-fatal-vows" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fatal Vows: The Tragic Wives of Drew Peterson, by Joseph Hosey</a></li><li><a href="https://thecinemaholic.com/where-are-stacy-petersons-children-now/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://thecinemaholic.com/where-are-stacy-petersons-children-now/ </a></li><li><a href="https://wgntv.com/news/wgn-investigates/drew-petersons-former-attorney-considers-revealing-killer-cops-secrets/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://wgntv.com/news/wgn-investigates/drew-petersons-former-attorney-considers-revealing-killer-cops-secrets/</a></li><li><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/drew-peterson-offered-25k-to-kill-his-third-wife-witness-says" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.foxnews.com/us/drew-peterson-offered-25k-to-kill-his-third-wife-witness-says</a></li></ul>
