Search On For Cop's Wife, Officials Probe Death Of His Previous Wife
BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (WBBM/STNG) -- Illinois state police are searching for the 23-year-old wife of a veteran Bolingbrook police sergeant Tuesday who was last seen over the weekend -- meanwhile officials are taking a deeper look into the death of the sergeant's previous wife who was found in a bathtub.
Stacy Peterson was last seen Sunday morning in the southwest suburb, wearing a red jogging suit, police said. She is the fourth wife of Sgt. Drew Peterson, a 29-year veteran of the Bolingbrook Police Department.
Peterson is described as white, with brown hair and brown eyes, about 5-foot-2 and weighs about 100 pounds.
Bolingbrook police said that Drew Peterson has been cooperating with the investigation.
Meanwhile, in light of Stacy Peterson's disappearence the Will County State's Attorneys office said they will be taking a deeper look into the death of Kathleen Savio, 40, Drew Peterson's third wife.
Savio was found dead in a bathtub of her home in March 2004. Drew Peterson and Savio were divorced at the time of her death and he was returning their two sons to their home after a weekend visit, but no one answered the locked door.
Peterson went to a neighbor's to call a locksmith. Once entry was gained, the neighbor went inside and found Savio's body in a waterless bathtub.
The investigation revealed Savio drowned. A coroner's jury ruled the death accidental. State Police investigated that case as well. No charges were filed.
Anyone with information is asked to call 815-726-6377.
