Indict Drew Peterson
By Josh Farris
Is everyone feeling the way I am about the Drew Peterson case?: indict him already!
He was on Larry King Live last night with his lawyer, and, for me, two words came to
mind: "textbook sociopath." But then I started to think about it and I now I am not so
sure. Less the acting like a kook on his front lawn with reporters, see the below bulleted
items that should give one pause as to why this fella is not in jail or out on bail. However
much the media saturation on this case annoys me, I cannot help but be fascinated by this
circus and send off my wannabe editorials to those who will actually read my
unprofessional scrawlings. (I promise no item below will mention or attempt to diagram
or recreate in any fashion our fun boy Drew holding court on his front lawn allowing

* Stacy Peterson, Drew Peterson's fourth wife, went missing on Sunday, October
28th, 2007. She was officially reported missing in the early hours of Monday, October
29th, 2007, after her sister, Cassandra Cales, failed to hear from her when expected. Drew
Peterson claims that Stacy called him at 9 p.m. on Sunday to tell him that she had left him
for another man and that she had left her car at Bolingbrook's Clow International Airport.
* Stacy Peterson's mother mysteriously disappeared eight years ago; she objected to her

Kevin Martinek Jr.
* It was reported that between 2002 and 2004, police were called out to the Peterson
house 18 times on domestic disturbance calls, including calls for returning children late
after visitation, during Drew Peterson's third marriage, to Kathleen Savio. Kathleen
Savio's body was subsequently found in a circular bathtub on. Her death was initially
ruled an accidental drowning.
* Rev. Neil Schori, a pastor at Stacy Peterson's church, reported that she had told him that
Drew had killed Kathleen Savio and had made it look like an accident and that she was
fearful of her husband.
* Savio was found drowned in a bathtub in 2004, but her death was originally ruled an
accident. Illinois state attorney, James Glasgow, told the press that after examining
evidence in the case, he believed that the death was a "homicide staged to look like an
accident."
* Drew Peterson's second wife, Vicki Connolly, has alleged a history of abuse during her
10-year marriage to him, as has her daughter who lived in the household during this time,
from the age of eight to 17 years.
* Peterson, who retired from the Bolingbrook, Ill., police force before undisclosed and
unrelated misconduct charges were to be filed against him, says he now spends his days
