330: Ex-Cop Staged His Wife’s Murder & Then His Next Wife Disappeared: The Shocking Drew Peterson Case

In October of 2007, the small suburban community of Bolingbrook, Illinois, was the subject of nationwide attention when 23-year-old mother of four, Stacy Peterson, went missing. While search teams spent countless hours searching woods, lakes, and other potential areas of interest, one man remained at the center of the search: her 49-year-old police officer husband, Drew Peterson. Drew became a mainstay of the media coverage throughout Stacy’s disappearance. He gave countless interviews where he professed his innocence and claimed that Stacy had run off with another man. And while investigators couldn’t find enough evidence to tie him to Stacy’s disappearance, they did reopen the case of Drew’s third wife, Kathleen Savio, who died suddenly in her bathtub in 2004.
