Drew Peterson Today Show Interview

Drew Peterson appeared on the Today Show and discussed recent reports of wiretaps that implicate his guilt in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson.

Nearly a year has passed since Stacy Peterson, the fourth wife of Drew Peterson, went missing. Drew Peterson is a former Bolingbook, Illinois Police Sargeant and remains the primary suspect in her disappearance, although she (or her remains) have never been found.

The death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, has also fueled suspicion that Drew Peterson was involved with Stacy's unexplained disappearance. Kathleen was found dead in the couple's bathtub in 2004.

News recently surfaced that former friends of Drew Peterson's were wired to extract information or a confession about the role he played in Stacy's death or disappearance, and he appeared on the Today Show with his lawyer to defend himself against the accusations.

Mr. Peterson maintains his innocence and said that the persons that allegedly wore wiretaps did so for financial gain to solve their own money problems. He also stated that he believes that Stacy Peterson is still alive, although his somewhat cocky attitude might lead some to believe otherwise.

For now, the case is still open and Peterson hasn't been charged with a crime. The death of his third wife is being re-investigated and has now been ruled a homicide.

We’ve been following this story for some time now of obvious reasons. Citizens taking responsibility in helping Law Enforcement bring some conclusion to this yet solved incident.

That’s right Drew Peterson, ex-police office that gained national headlines over his missing wife, is complaining his neighbor has Surveillance Camera’s. Of course his first claim is the State Police had them installed and his lawyer is ready to take action.

I respect the lawyer for defending his client. But I have alot more for Sharon Bychowski, she took action.

Truth be told a real message should be sent by having all the surrounding neighbors install Surveillance Camera’s. Citizens need to take responsibility, if not for their own safety, that of others.

Personally, I would take a step further and grant remote access to “ANY” Law Enforcement agency. We as a people need to invoke our rights of protection. Let’s avoid the 2nd amendment issue, but replace some wording here, CAMERA’S.

The whole circus effect around this has left LE with little options. Citizens need to step-up too the challenge of community involvement and bring new meaning to the term - Neighborhood Watch Group.

Kathleen Savio Death Ruled a Homicide

Thu, 22 Feb 2008 04:25:00 GMT

In what should not come as a shocker, it was reported Thursday that former Bolingbrook, Illinois police sergeant Drew Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, was in fact murdered back in March of 2004. Savio, whose body was exhumed back in November, died in her home, with her body discovered in an upstairs bathtub. At the time, it was suspected that she had died as the result of an accident. The autopsy conducted three months ago reports that her death was a homicide, leading to more questions for her ex-husband. Oh, by the way, Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, remains missing. Stacy Peterson has been missing since Oct. 28, with many indications pointing to foul play in her disappearance. Savio died back in '04 a few weeks prior to her divorce with Drew Peterson being finalized. So, is Drew Peterson guilty of her murder? Well, proving that four years later will not be easy, but Peterson is obviously a suspect in her death. The "accident" never quite made sense since the bathtub was dry when Savio was discovered and her hair was soaked with blood. Peterson, who has since retired from the Bolingbrook police department, has been raising his four kids (two with Savio, two with Peterson) since Stacy's disappearance last fall. While innocent until proven guilty, Drew Peterson's world just got a little darker today. So what do you think?

Shane Englehart: (Alleged) Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire

Shane Englehart, left

Shane Englehart went to work on Father's Day thinking his 2-year-old daughter would be in safe hands with her babysitter-a woman he hired on short notice from the popular classified ads website, Craigslist. He couldn't have been more wrong. The babysitter, known only as "Samantha", apparently had abandoned Englehart's little girl-leaving her in the parking lot of the apartment complex in the scorching 112 degree heat of the Phoenix suburb-Glendale.

Luckily for Englehart's little girl, a good Samaritan by the name of Flavian Janes found the scared little girl and tried to find out who she belonged to. Other good Samaritans called police. The little girl was wearing only one sandal, a dress, and a tiara. The asphalt temperature on a day like that would have been excrutiating on the soles of this little girl's feet (foot).

When police arrived, they attempted to identify the little girl and the the story ran in the media later that evening to attempt to find someone who knew her. By the next morning, news reports stated that Englehart claimed to be the father of the little girl. According to this news report from Fox11Az , here's what happened the night before.

Later that night, a man approached a reporter and photographer with KNXV-TV saying he was the child's father.
The man says he hired a baby sitter from the popular Web site Craigslist, and when he returned home, he found his apartment empty with no sign of the sitter or his daughter.

There was no sign of the mysterious "Samantha". That's because "Samantha" didn't exist. Actually, she does exist, but Englehart left out a few small details. Samantha is a woman he has allegedly known for years, and not someone he hired from Craiglist. And according to the real Samantha, he never asked her to babysit.

When confronted by the police with Samantha's side of the story, Englehart had no choice but to 'fess up--he allegedly left his 2 year-old daughter home alone that evening while he went to work. Of course, he was then arrested on charges of child abuse and false reporting. And his little girl is now in the hands of Child Protective Services.

I realize that good, quality childcare doesn't come cheap, but it's never an excuse to leave your child alone. Especially a two year-old. Your job is never that important. Englehart could have called in sick, as a last resort. Instead his last resort was leaving his child alone. Maybe he feared losing his job. Losing your job vs. potentially burying your dead child.

I know, tough choice.
