Kathleen Savio

Kathleen Savio

Kathleen Savio was the third wife of former Chicago police officer Drew Peterson. Her 2004 death was ruled accidental, but recent evidence has shown it was likely a homicide.

(From wikipedia.org)

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 (June 13, 1963 - March 1, 2004). Kathleen Savio's body was subsequently found in a circular bathtub on March 1, 2004. Her death was initially ruled an accidental drowning.

However, following Stacy Peterson 's disappearance, Savio's body was exhumed and underwent forensic examination on November 16, 2007. Dr. Michael Baden, a former New York City chief medical examiner who conducted the examination at the request of Savio's relatives and Fox News, concluded that she died of drowning following a struggle when her body was placed in the bathtub.

Actually, he's not even loosely disguised. He's just slightly distanced from reality for satiric effect. The Bluebeard in Division and Rush, the new comic on the Tribune's Chicago Now blog site, is called Stu Peterman, and he's murdered four of his past wives, whereas Drew Peterson couldn't have killed more than two. But Peterman, like Peterson, is a self-aggrandizing ex-cop who looks like an Alpha walrus. [ Subscribe to the comments...

Guest Post by Susan Murphy Milano The saying "Blue Defends Blue" or "Brotherhood of the Badge" is a concern for all women in relationships where their husband or boyfriend is a law enforcement officer. In most cases there is a clear reluctance on the part of responding officers to arrest a fellow officer. An example of how police look away when it is one of their own is Kathleen Savio. Prior to the discovery of her lifeless body in the bath tub of the marital home she and Drew Peterson shared, Bolingbrook police never once arrested their Sergeant when Kathleen called for help.

Until recently you could only testify from the grave by having a second autopsy so as to change your cause of death . That did happen to Drew Petersen’s third wife Kathleen Saveo . It does cost quite a hunk of change to exhume a dead person and hire a professional to do an autopsy. Under a new Law it is possible to testify from Beyond the Grave. Under a new Illinois law it is now possible to testify from beyond the grave . Essentially that is why the former Bollingbrook, Illinois police officer Drew Petersen was taken to Court from jail on Friday. ... Read Full Story
