    Look up the definition of a narcissist and a sociopath and you will find Drew Pearson. He is a despicable man. Drew Pearson decided to kill two innocent women so he doesn???t have to pay child support or alimony. This is not an unusual story. It happens a lot more in our culture than we are willing to admit.

    Drew Pearson a loving father? That is such a ridiculous notion. Narcissists do not know how to love and they can pretend emotions. Wait until the children get older, he???ll lose interest because he will no longer be able to control them. His children should be taken away from him now. He has shown himself to be a very cold, calculating and dangerous man.

    I hope he gets the death sentence and that something goes wrong while he is dying a painful death. Maybe he???ll think about what he did to these two poor unfortunate women who became his wives. After he dies I hope this is an afterlife so he can rot in hell for eternity.

    I know a little about narcissist and sociopaths. I was married to one and was lucky to get out alive.

    How can people call him the family guy? He's nothing but an animal, which produced babies to control the women. Yeah, he spends time with kids, cause kids are fun...and make you feel good and powerful....nature designed kids to be cute and loveable and anyone can spend some time with them.....but hey, if you love your kids, really love them, you do not keep on just reproducing more and more with different women. That is not healthy for anyone at this age, in this set up, not the kids... not their mothers..only ok with a father..who can feel like a king.
    The guy preyed on a helpless 17 year old working child and yeah married her,while she was still clueless and innocent.
    Of course the next logical step, marry her, as soon as possible, so that he has a free house keeper, maid for his other 4 kids and yeah a slave for himself. Next have couple of more kids with her, so that she's helpless. I have seen some very strong women endure the worse, just for the kids..and that is why mother is a mother and no one can replace the love of a mother.
    When she grew older and wiser, and was studying to become a nurse, he realized that he could trick her no longer. She also saw thru this evil old dirtbag. So she decided to leave him. And he brazenly kills her to save the alimony. He got away once, so will he get away the second time? A cop could nto figure out if hsi 3rd wife was killed or an accident? Are we all so dumb to believe this stupid animal in cop's clothing reasoning? Or does this dirt bag thinks that whole of America is one stupid place. No Sir, you are in America, the country with the brightest and most intelligent people of this world. No stupid cop can fool so many of Americans.

    An appeal to the officals and especailly the Cops of Bolingbrook.

    Cops are the most important pillors of society, without cops, society will simply perish..so appeal to cops, take out this dirt bag from the society and throw him in prision, before he taints your good name....society will go down if people loose confiendce in cops.

    Collectively, the nation grieves for Drew Peterson - he lost another 10 pounds this week. Apparently showing no regard for recommendations from Weight Watchers and other reputable diet organizations, Peterson claims to be dropping pounds much above the two to two-and-a-half pound per week suggested range.

    Peterson, you know, wants to avoid the media spotlight. But he was kind enough to throw the world a bone today by updating reporters on his body mass index and his health ailments. Then he was nice enough to take time out for a photo shoot with People Magazine. Drew's mom was right ??? he is a nice guy!

    ???Please leave me alone,??? Peterson says, with a smile and a laugh. Joking in front of his house with the media he despises, he tells a TV cameraman to lose some weight and lets a photographer know he needs a better camera. When asked about his dead third wife, he describes himself as "a victim in the relationship." Drew has told us before about his weakness for crazy women.

    Then someone asks about Stacy.


    Ugh. That whole pesky missing wife thing. Drew was kind of hoping the reporters would continue talking about him, and his long career as a police officer, and his motorcycle, and his health, and his house, and his favorite color, and how he was known as a practical joker throughout his life, and???

    Um, Drew???about that missing wife? Anything you could tell us that might help law enforcement to find the mother of your children? Any insight into her as a person?

    ???When she was menstruating, hungry or tired, she would ask me about a divorce.???

    Right, I think you mentioned that last week, Drew, when you were 10 pounds heavier and trying to avoid the media circus with Matt Lauer by your side.

    This is no family guy, just an animal, a cold blooded killer and a sexual predator.
    I can bet the farm that the body of that poor girl will never be found. Any takers?
    He made complete preparations, including being able to "look into the eyes of his accuser"..Hey that is no biggie...he's a cop; any stupid liar can do that with practice.
    When he's 47, he zeroed out a poor girl, trying to make a living as a receptionist. Being a receptionist, she would have been forced to talk to him. Complain about him, to whom, the police. Anyone can trick anyone, especially a child, if you can keep talking to them. This is why, we teach kids not to talk to strangers.
    No normal healthy intelligent young woman would go out with such an old dirt bag, at least no one in her 20s, a guy with 4 kids, 3 marriages, 2 divorces and a dead spouse. Unless of course you are either very rich or very handsome and this guy was neither.
    No sir, only a 16 or 17 year old child could be tricked and he just did that.
    She was willing to leave him and face the world and he KIILED her. So saves himself the alimony. This is the most distasteful thing about the whole thing...the guy???s killing women to save the alimony....I can again bet that the other two living spouses are not getting a single cent in alimony and none was able to keep any kids with them either.
    The guy lived worse than some decadent Maharaja and well, I am also not white, so this is not a race issue. I feel bad for the girl, as she was nothing but a child when this animal preyed on her, a person who worked hard and later was studying to become a nurse. She must have been an angel. *** happens all the time, but sometimes, something so evil takes place that you feel numb.
    I love America and it's sense of justice and fair play, and therefore, I strongly feel justice will be done. However, in case this animal escapes for now, then definitely the next world. It's Karma and no one can escape.

    I am a previous Bolingbrook resident and the entire police department is full of male "macho" ego-ccentric, selfish arrogant men that probably all beat their wives. I have had 5 run-ins where I was reporting abuse and they brushed me off for being young and a woman. Bolingbrook is a booming town with a brand new high-school, brand new hospital and brand-new shopping mall. It is an oasis to the American dream and it is full of crap stemming from it's incompetent government and I am saddened that the poor girl's dissapearance and I have no doubt in my mind that it could have been prevented. I have since moved out of this town back to a citizen-frinedly suburb and couldn't be happier. It's very sad that this has had to happen to bring the much-needed spotlight to this police department and it's unfair and "boys club" practices that have persisted for years!

    Has anyone thought maybe the "open" case of the young mother in Plainfield, IL, Lisa Stebic and this case could be related? Plainfield is within a 15 minute drive from Bolingbrook, Il. Being a cop, it's possible Mr. Peterson has knowledge of "hit men". Something someone might look into????

    This is NOT about race. The reason these stories get so much attention is because of the "All American" family image. Just like Scott Peterson AND O J. People LOVE these types of men. (OJ more so because of his celebrity status) "They are so nice. How could they be killers". Men like them get away with everything their entire lives, so they figure they can get away with murder too. Wake up mothers who "raise" these men. If you let your sons get away with everything and make them think the world revolves around them, they too can become headline news.

  • Posted By: SushiLover @ 11/19/2007 8:02:01 AM

    The reason stories like this get such attention is NOT because of color, but because of the look of the "All American Family". Everyone "loves" these kind of men. Same with Scott Peterson and OJ. And more so for OJ because of his celebrity status. Americans are FOOLS for these types of men. People LOVED them, how could they be killers. THAT and only THAT is the reason these stories get so much media and public attention.

    Third wife dies from "drowning" in the bathtub after 18 calls to police for domestic violence. Bolingbrook police didn't find this suspicious? How could it take two weeks for Peterson to be named suspect?

    • Posted By: Desertdweller @ 11/18/2007 6:37:16 PM

      The third wife ALSO had a Order of Protection, (Restraining Order) against Drew Peterson. Seems more than obvious she had feared for her life too. Thank God SOMEONE had the brains to re-examine Savio's body and I agree, sounds like more than one person was involved in that ordeal.

    HEY NEWS FLASH FOLKS!!!!!! If my husband KILLED me I guarantee NONE of you would have ever heard of it because I am not THAT fair complexioned. Let's get real it's a shame It's happening but it is open season on WOMEN and KIDS and the way I see it better alone and by yourself than dead with someone else.

  • Posted By: John_Middleburg @ 11/19/2007 1:54:35 AM

    Of course, us "people" have no clues. Let's see some of the facts - a 47 year old, father of 4 kids, married 3 times , with one dead wife, is seducing a 17 year old girl, and it's OK. Moreover, the 47 year old is a COP who knows more about people and is supposed to uphold both the constitutional law as well as the moral code of the society. Cops like judges make judgment calls all the times, as issues are not always in black and white. So these people rely on moral compass, and apparently it???s seriously broken for this cop. Wonder why none of his colleagues could figure that out. A 17 year old, with a 47 year old, married thrice already, with 4 kids? If even Tom Cruise (handsome) or Donald Trump (rich) would have tried to pull a stunt like this on a 17 year old, they would have been hauled over coals, by the society and the Press (same press which is supposedly making this COP a victim?). This being a small mid west town , this COP???s actions seems more like a mafia member, and now with the national press, everyone seems to be scared, including this COP. What is he? Let???s see, a small time cop, father of 6, husband of 4, one is confirmed dead, other is missing. Something seems to be rotten to the core about this COP and his associates. This is America and justice shall prevail. I know it will. Just imagine the pain of the family of that girl who has gone missing. Imagine them, knowing that their angel, when 17, is going out with a cop of 47, thrice married and four kids!!!!

  • Posted By: 162vader @ 11/18/2007 8:56:19 PM

    You people have no clue. Could it be that Peterson had an air tight alibi with wife #3 i.e. he was nowhere near the house where she died and there were plenty of witnesses? BTW, the guy who actually found her said her hair wasn't soaked in Blood and the investigation showed the Bathtub had a slow leak around the drain and that's where the water went.. Stop believing these idiot Blogers and the Media morons who will makeup anything to spice up a story.

    He is a sexual predator and a cold blooded killer. The girl was 19 or younger, he was 30 years her senior. This is the biggest misuse of his position as a cop. If an average man tried some stunt like this, the family / friend of the girl might have interrupted. He definitely used his "cop" uniform to keep people away and get away with his crime. The girl must have been terrified of him, got pregnant and made to marry him...nothing more. When she got wiser as she got older, she wanted out, to leave. He then simply killed her to avoid paying alimony I think. He has done that before and all the people involved in the cover up for his third wife should be charged with conspiracy for murder. And his first two wives divorce should be investigated for alimony etc. I bet not a single cent is paid to the first two wives. He threatened one of his earlier wives with murder and would have made it look like accident. What more proof is required by the Jury to conclude? Classical example of a predator cop being helped by fellow corrupt officials, who are being paid by the "sheep" for protection. Perfect example of a morally bankrupt cop being helped by a morally bankrupt officials /colleagues.

    There is no doubt that there is a "good old boys" club in regards to police officers and I don't believe any would deny this "off the record". I have bee friends with several police officer's that have expressed situations where this comes in to play. However, having said that, the crimes that the policeman I have known to "overlook" have never been as serious as murder. I have known of them overlooking domestic violence, drugs, traffic violations, DUI, but never murder. Why would a police officer WANT to overlook something like this and want to work with that caliber of person? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that someone didn't drown when there is no water in then tub and no water in the lungs of the deceased. I believe all those involved in the case of Savio should be investigated including the coroner that reported this as an accident. The coroner is either involved with the cover up or incompetent -either way they should be removed from their position.

    "It's called "The Code of Silence" between cops. They protect there own. I was married to one - I know.
