Drew Peterson - the new Scott Peterson

So #3 dies suspiciously and #4 is "missing". I caught his interview with Matt Lauer this morning. He complained about how his trial expenses are estimating to be over 250k just for 1 trial and so he begged on national TV for someone to take his case pro bono.

For fuck sakes. Whoring your case out on national television? I don't know if he's guilty or not but he is milking the media for all its worth. Just disgusting already.

this is the part that got me..

accident? where did they find this jury?

This case baffles me too. I'm curious to see what the new autopsy of wife #3's body shows. I was talking to my mother about this the other day as they were discussing it in her CJ classes. You'd figure if this woman had run off to be with another man she wouldn't have left her kids or not told her parents what's going on. Not to mention, being able to trace a potential call to her husband with phone records, ect.

The next day the Today show did an analysis on his interview with Matt. It's pretty easy to see where the Today show stands on this guy's guilt, especially Matt Lauer who commented on Peterson's odd 'plea' to his wife.

Matt asked him, if he could say something to his wife, assuming she just left him and isn't dead in a ditch somewhere, what would Peterson say?

Peterseon chuckled (yes...chuckled) and said, 'Come home. (laugh) Tell people you're alright' (paraphrasing).

Even Matt Laurer was taken aback by the fact that this guy thought it was funny his wife was allegedly hiding out, putting him in the hot seat. The two guests they had analyzing the interview said him not even bringing up the children or that he was ready to give her whatever she wanted - that there was no heart felt plea or even an angry/frustrated statement - seemed suspicious.

You could take the whole thing either way: this man is an idiot or he did it.

I anxiously await Court Tv's coverage of this trial.

Experts: Drew Peterson’s body language says a lot

Drew Peterson’s behavior and words during interviews with TODAY and NBC News did not match up with what would be expected from someone whose wife had abandoned him and his children for another man, two analysts said Thursday.

Body language expert Tonya Reiman and NBC analyst and former FBI profiler Clint Van Zandt reviewed the tapes of Peterson talking exclusively to TODAY’s Matt Lauer on Wednesday and saw a man sitting back with legs spread wide in a position of arrogance. They said they also saw a man who showed no anger or frustration or concern for his children, who have been left without a mother since the Oct. 28 disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy.

“Just indifference, pure indifference,” Reiman told Lauer after analyzing the tape. “[Peterson’s] wife is missing, and you notice that there’s really nothing going on with his expressions. You don’t see any remorse, you don’t see any anger, frustration.”

She and Van Zandt were most struck by Peterson’s response when Lauer asked what he’d say to his missing wife.

“Come home,” the former Bolingbrook, Ill., police sergeant had responded with a laugh and a shrug. “Tell people where you are. That’s all I can say.”

“Where’s the ‘I’m-in-trouble-right-now-’cause-you’re-missing’?” Reiman wondered. “Where’s the anger, where’s the frustration? I would be pleading as opposed to laughing.”

Van Zandt wondered why Peterson showed no apparent concern for his children. He has two teenage sons from his third marriage to Kathleen Savio, who was found dead in her bathtub four years ago while she was negotiating a divorce from Peterson.

Originally ruled an accidental drowning, the investigation into her death has been reopened after Stacy Peterson disappeared. He also has two sons, ages 4 and 2, by Stacy Peterson.

A person worried about those children, Van Zandt said, would have begged a missing spouse to at least send a message to those children.

“They’re scared to death, they’re frightened, they’re not sleeping at night. Do this for the sake of the children. I’ll give you the divorce tomorrow,” would have been the expected response, Van Zandt said.

Finally, some emotion

In a later interview on Wednesday with NBC News, Peterson had gotten emotional about his children, but only in response to a question about what would happen to them if he is charged and found guilty with killing either Savio or Stacy Peterson.

He briefly choked up when saying, “If my kids are OK and provided with, I’m OK with anything that comes. If you’re trying to get me to cry, you’re close.”

Van Zandt also found it difficult to believe that the 53-year-old Peterson, a cop for 30 years, would be unable to provide any evidence that his 23-year-old wife of four years had, as he claims, found another man. He said Peterson’s responses made little sense in the context of what has been reported about the couple’s troubled marriage.

“This is a guy, we’re told, who wouldn’t leave his wife alone. He followed her to college, he monitored her cell phones, he knew who she saw socially,” he said. “Number one, he ought to be able to say, ‘Here’s her cell phone records. Here’s the name of her boyfriend.’ Number two, he can’t give us one name, one example of who this mysterious person she may have run off with is.”

Then there’s the question of opportunity, Van Zandt continued, saying, “Nobody yet has raised a hand and said, ‘This woman who’s raising four children, going to college, keeping a household, being followed everywhere by her almost stalkerlike husband, would have time to develop a boyfriend.’”
Stacy Peterson’s uncle, Kyle Toutges, confirmed that observation in a separate interview on Thursday from Chicago with TODAY’s Meredith Vieira.

“None of us knew of another man,” he said, speaking for her family. “Her husband, Drew, was on top of her all the time, there was no way she had time to be with another man. He knew where she was every minute.”

Asked for his reaction to Peterson’s laughing request to his wife to come home, Toutges said, “He knew where she was, and he knew she ain’t coming home, that’s what it said to me.”

This man is a piece of work. I agree with what the people inspecting his body language said. If I'd been left by my spouse, I'd be PISSED, and that would be even if I wasn't potentially in legal trouble. Not to mention the children, the unborn child, ect. I also agree that if he thought she'd left him for someone else, he'd have atleast some idea where or who this someone else was.

She didn't have someone else. Well no. She might have told me that. Yes there was someone else.


Wow that says innocent all over!

Peterson is on the Today show AGAIN. God why do they bother with this guy? Apparently the ME said that his 3rd wife's death is suspicious, don't know why they couldn't figure that out before. She drowned in the tub that had no water. Oh, that makes sense.

The new ME's report also sites her having bruises on her hips and other spots on her body that lend him to believe that she struggled or fought someone off. If she just slipped and fell, she wouldn't have defensive wounds...

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/11/28/missing.wife.ap/index.html

I hope they find her soon and fry this guy. Actually...frying him would be far too kind. Maybe just get him dead enough you could bring him back then kill his ass again.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/11/30/missing.wife.ap/index.html

Plot thickens.

...and sadly that shit happens every day. Why he wasn't a suspect in the #3's death is so beyond me. People don't drown in an empty tub face down.

And the idiot sinks lower on the totem poll of stupid ideas...

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/law/12/12/peterson.wife.ap/index.html

So, like, even though he's suspected in the killing of one wife and the disappearance of another, AND that he's anxious to have his firearms back, we should wrap 'em up, put a bow on 'em, and present them to him with a smile? No thanks; I feel safer where they are currently.

Friggin people; I try so hard not to judge people and situations that I don't know personally, but in my eyes, this guy just LOOKS like a great big egotistical ASSHOLE. Of course, I could be wrong....

wife #4...

how the fuck do people get married so many times.

what happened to #1 and 2 ?

From what I read, 1 and 2 were just divorced.

3rd wife's death now a homicide:

Nod and this guy is a classic sociopath.
