I'm positive Drew is guilty. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a couple other murders that he committed, and we just don't know about them. He seems to like the power over people more than the average control freak.
Whoever the investigator was, when he put down that Kathleen had an accidental death, that investigator should be held as an accomplice to cover up a murder, because he definitely helped Drew cover it up.
@@tonyabrookes9931 I do find it really mind blowing that young women were even attracted to him. When I was young, there was no chance I would ever be attracted to some guy 20 years older than me. Although actually I have a sister who had a guy 25 years older than her for 25 years. LOL. But Peterson is gross cringy creepy.
When are they ever going to hold cops accountable for covering for other members of law enforcement. If they would have competently investigated Kathleen's death Stacy could still be alive. They need to be held accountable
That’s the thing about it, i’m pretty sure Drew bribed them ehich yes could lead them to losing their jobs and being part of the murder. it’s been almost 14 years i think the cops have retired by now but are still denying that drew ever said anything to them
Drew Peterson and his wife lived just one mile away from me when this crime occurred. I still live in Bolingbrook and let me tell you, this was so crazy to live so close to such a huge case. The news crews swarmed his house day and night. Stacy’s missing posters were on every store front. The sound of helicopters flying overhead was so eerie the first week she went missing because I knew they were looking for her. I saw police dragging ponds nearby. I even saw Drew on his motorcycle one day. It was all everyone talked about and every body of water I would drive by I would look at wondering if she was there. It was such an unbelievable experience. I just wish they would have found her after all this time.
17:16... You're asking what makes people like him want the spotlight so bad, even to their own demise? It's sociopathy and narcissistic personality disorder. I'm a retired male Registered Psychiatric nurse who worked in forensic and admission wards for a good while. I've observed for years that those with this disorder can't help themselves. The sense of arrogance is so strong and they're convinced they can get away with anything.
I remember hearing about this for the first time when we lived in Chicago after his third wife died. And I remember thinking what? His wife drowned in an empty bathtub? Now we all know the truth.
@@TrueCrimeRecaps I was in Naperville for 30 years. This recap brought back alot of sad memories. I pray Stacie comes home. Thank you for covering his victims story. 🙏💔
This is why you don’t let police departments investigate themselves, investigating cops needs to be under (Federal investigations) instead of internal affairs otherwise they’ll continue the good old boy system.
I crossed paths with Drew in 1992, at a business meeting. He came up and spoke to me regarding the business at hand, but put his hand on my shoulder and got WAY too close when he spoke. He gave me the creeps. When I found out later what he had done, I was shocked.
He is so gross and sleazy. What on earth did those lovely women see in him. He isn't going to be released, so he might as well come clean with where he hid the body of the last beautiful wife. Boy, is he ever gross!
He groomed the young ones and was likely charming enough at first to lure all in. But then flips the switch to authoritarian. He is vile and evil. I forgot how much he disturbs me.
This guy is Infamous! He is the epitome of The Black Widower.😳 But actually doing the killing! To think he was a police officer for so long!! Is truly scary....
Sadly there seem to be a certain type of personality with those kinds of need to control, that find their outlet in the police force. My friend's neighbor was a cop and often witnessed this cop husband being very controlling of his wife. The wife would take pictures of the yard after she had completely removed all the snow after a day where my friend witnessed the husband dragging the wife out to the newly snow covered yard yelling at her about how lazy she was. Obviously she somehow failed in keeping Mother Nature from snowing all over his precious lawn again. *eye roll*
@@joylives_4her668 you'd think with a case this big we would hear something. We also didn't hear about that Chris who killed his entire family, or the two young girls found dead 5 yrs back :(
These women were beautiful. I can't understand what they saw in this guy. I feel sorry for all of the families involved but especially the 4th wifes sister. She was going through so much already being diagnosed as terminally ill then having to deal with her sister disappearing. Heartbreaking 😔💔
A lot of beautiful women have low self-esteem. They kind of go hand in hand. A lot of insecurities come with having to maintain your looks. Charismatic men know that women like that are attracted to confidence because it's something they don't have. And then they use that leverage to control and manipulate women.
I hope all the children involved in this have gotten counseling & have good support systems. I can’t imagine everything they’ve been through…including being exposed to such a narcissistic POS. To the “associates” that turned a blind eye to his actions…SHAME ON YOU!! How could anyone trust y’all now??
I do know that Drew’s son from his first marriage became the guardian of his small children with Stacy. He is nothing like his dad and feels his dad is guilty. They are in good hands. Not sure about his other kids.
@@pamelasmith6221 Thank you. That’s great news! I love it when common sense & good wins over evil. Hopefully the others have someone like that brother in their lives. I wish them the best.❤️
I never knew the whole story. I feel like when this happened it was confusing. Now I see he had two previous wives before the last two that were murdered. What a narcissistic psychopath.
He was untrusting because he knew how heartless he was and he knew what a cheating bastard he was. So he assumed any woman who would have him would be having somebody else too. Control freaks are dangerous.
@Lana That’s the thing, they move quickly before you have a chance to know what has hit you. The other girl probably rationalized it all until she was tired of it. But speaking of polygamy, there’s a well known former FBI investigator who has warned that something always goes awry when more than two are in a relationship. Feelings get hurt, people get jealous, & it rarely ends well.
This guy is murdering monster. He has that badge arrogance some cops have, we’ve all heard of those cops who beat their wives and get away with being horrible human beings. He was enabled by his fellow officers. Professional courtesy, what a joke.
I was wondering if you would ever cover this. After Stacey went missing I put my first Google Alert on Drew Peterson and continued to follow his egomania. I guess this case (cases?) started my path on following True Crime. I remember several very ego driven interviews, or at least a few words to reporters as he walked to his car, that just amazed me that someone could be that much of an egomaniac. When I read that he put a hit on the prosecutor, I figured it was just par for the course by that point. I do think it's a shame they never charged him for Stacey.
It is a shame that he never got tried and convicted for Stacy's murder I guess they have to find her first. But he killed his first two wives as well, and he was never tried or convicted for those murders either. So at least he's never getting out.
@@Strype13 yes. I have since realized that one of those Stacy Peterson's was a Laci Peterson. My bad. I guess with several Peterson's killing their wives and the names rhyming for two of them I just got confused. LOL and you're right! If your name rhymes with Macy don't marry a Peterson!

Thank you for telling their stories. I hope she is found. I wonder if the police department was audited for the lines they crossed? The fourth wife could be alive today if they followed through with protocol minus the nepotism. 😖😒
Thank God for those convictions! I was in an abusive marriage for many years with a narcissist who was very controlling so I feel for those women & praying they find Stacy's body soon so her family can find closure! But if it was in a storage container it shouldn't be THAT hard to find, you'd 🤔 think!
Like you I was in a abusive marriage(still legally married to him but divorcing this year) my ex mentally, physically, emotionally & s3gsually(my son was a result) abused me. When our marriage ended in January 2020 a lot came to the surface I've had intense therapy to overcome my trauma. I'll live with what I went through & spent 2yrs single working on myself & I'm happy surrounded by my loved ones & have the greatest boyfriend who's been extremely supportive & treats me like a queen. I'm glad you're out of your marriage I wish you all the best.
@Vern Sherris Thank you Vern, it took my ex cheating on me(with former friend) to be free & happy. I held onto my trauma for so long that it almost blocked me from meeting my boyfriend who understood what I went through & brought back the old but improved version of me back.
I'm glad that Drew Peterson got nailed for plotting against the prosecutor and won't get out. 38 years is not a long enough sentence for taking life. Especially when there's three other lives that were taken by the same man and he needs to, as you said, never see the outside of a prison. If your name is Stacy, Lacey, or actually any name, don't marry a guy named Peterson. Because of the bizarre fact that there's already three Mrs. Petersons that were murdered by their husbands. Really disgusting in this case how cops take care of their own. Hope he's having a hard time in prison. You guys always give the best recaps, Chris and Amy! I did mix up Scott and Drew Peterson for a minute. Good storytelling. Can you believe this guy killed four wives? Scumbag murderer, cop. Glad he'll only come out of prison feet first.
I give her a pass on lying, as he told her what to say. Remember, she met him when she was 17, and went missing at 22…she was just a kid, who was groomed & controlled by him.
I think by the time Stacy knew about Kathleen's murder, she was too afraid of Drew not to cover for him. And the fact that somehow he got her when she was so young. He had complete control of her. He was not going to let her leave him. She must have known he wouldn't let her get out alive. He obviously used the confession in the heat of a threat to her.
Oh I had forgotten that he was a sergeant in the police force. He knew all the ropes and how to get around being tried for the murder of Stacy. He practiced so well with Kathleen and would’ve gotten away with that murder had he not then killed Stacy. What Terrible crimes he committed!
Never saw it. But it grosses me out when they cast these classically handsome actors as the murderous bastards! Like casting what's his face as Bundy. Zac Efron. Rob Lowe is one of the better looking guys of my generation. Gross to see him play such a scumbag murderer.
Drew Peterson is probably the closest "reincarnated of King Henry the VIII........ so much in common!! Vile evil egotistical dogs!! So glad I found your podcast!! Love this channel!!
I met Stacey Cales brother in Chicago. My aunt lived across the street from him and his girlfriend and kids. He had a lot of issues but his girlfriend was becoming a doctor and had toddlers. I met them multiple times as they started interacting with our family more. I once went into their home for a bday party and there was a very detailed painting of Stacy. I didn’t know who he was but once I seen that picture, I made the connection.I had chills! It was beyond eerie. Hope they find closure one day.
Is the motto of this Illinois police for "Better Late Than Never," or maybe, "We'll Get Around to It Eventually?" Oh wait, I know. It's "To Protect (Our Own) and Serve (When the Media Attention Leaves Us No Choice)."
I've been grieving over the death of Taylor Hawkins. Music is my first love. After 10 days of listening to the Foo Fightersand seeing my tickets refunded, I'm back to true crime. Missed you and Amy.
Hi Chris. Chris I really don't know how to articulate my absolute disgust with law enforcement. I know I have commented that several times on your Channel already. But this one takes the cake. All his buddies all of his police buddies sticking up for him giving him a break, it's just too much way too much to fathom. Calling it a drowning and there's no water. Why was this guy only given after years of no investigation on any level for any of the women, why was he finally only given 40 something years? That's just absolute disgust. Why wasn't he getting life in prison without the possibility of parole. And then they finally did a little more investigation and he ended up with a longer sentence. It's just so disgusting and so difficult to realize that there is nothing absolutely nothing we can do to change the way law enforcement and authorities handle cases. It's an embarrassment and once again we see it playing itself out all over again in this case. Yes it was horrific that all these women had to lose their life but the icing on the cake is that the justice system is not at all just. It literally makes me feel so angry and so hopeless. What are we going to do what can we do? And we know the answer is a big fat nothing. people get away with so much crap it makes my head spin. Have a great weekend and say hello to your beautiful wife. I'll see you in the next video. I'm getting to the point though where I can't handle much more of seeing how this guy got away with so much bullshit just because he was a cop. Disgusting, and he was plotting to kill the prosecutor.
Love your videos with BTW your information is on point and stuff I learn from your channel always opens my eyes to the reality of the situation! Pleas never stop sharing this with us! ❤️❤️🙏🙏 I love you guys!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
makes you wonder how much crap he got away with while he hid behind that badge...and how his fellow officers probably helped him. narcissist, violent, controlling...red flags that should have gotten noticed. good video, thanks.
@@TrueCrimeRecaps Hi Chris and Amy how are you doing? Will you please cover missing Toronto teen Mariam Makhniashvili ? It’s a very strange case or maybe I am overthinking… also legendary Indian actress Late Sri Devi please… everyone knows it’s a murder but unfortunately she never got justice.
@Vern Sherris they have one main suspect in custody and maybe a second. A file was released accidentally with the details. They think its a father and son who murdered them :(
@Vern Sherris nor me. Im not sure why they aren't speaking about it. Maybe because its not "official". Shouldn't be much longer now though. According to that news broadcast they've almost solved it.
Of course he murdered Stacy. I hope her remains are found so her family gets closure. I shudder to think this man carried a gun and was supposed to uphold the law.
I agree with you, he was a creep. I can only speculate as to what they saw in him. I had heard that he would be really nice in the beginning. They may have been attracted to him because of his authoritative job, at least for a while. He would buy Stacy cool stuff, like her own car. It was probably fun playing "grown up" for a while. Once she started having kids of her own, then she got more trapped into his world. The reality must have set in. She would have been very dependent on him. I think she was a house wife with 4 kids to take care of...her 2 plus his 2 from Kathleen Savio. She was very young when they first got together (like 15?) He was 30 yrs older than her !! There was probably some brain washing going on. Later, it sounds like it would have done no good to report him for anything because of the corrupt police force. He was so possessive and it sounds like she stayed out of fear and dependency. That's all I can think of !!
He looks like the chief of police where I grew up. An alcoholic who could be found in the next town’s nightclub, totally sh*t-faced every week. Found out he was married straight out of high school & had a bunch of kids... that us teens, whom he was always trying to date wasn’t aware of... until his wife came dragging a bunch of kids to pick up a prescription where a friend worked, & my friend asked if she was related. Always felt bad for her & the kids. He heads some kind of Christian center, that is huge, but has never had many members.
I don't see why the cops didn't/haven't asked Drew's bro-in-law where the storage unit is he got to store the plastic barrel... The worst part is that there's many more guys like Drew & are police officers... There needs to be a very strict mental evaluation 1st to become a cop and every time they fire their weapon or involved in anything life threatening or extremely stressful, they should be having a evaluation again
He turns my stomach. Such an ego . But that is also what got him caught. He talks to much. Bolingbrook Police should be ashamed too. Just because he was a cop he is still a suspect. Professional curtesy? Those interview on tv, you can see he was trying to control them. Hope he stays in jail the rest of his life.
Cases like this disgust me. This narcissist pos using the law that he is supposed to be upholding as a tool to distract detour allowing him to get away with countless crime’s let alone the worst being murder. One can only say that thankfully he did not have cremation done on wife #3 that later helping to convict him. But what about the other many police officers protecting and diverting from doing an abdicate job or even properly documenting the many things they should have been. Just because a person is a fellow police officer doesn’t give them a pass. This mentality need’s to change.
I love the true crime recaps, you and your beautiful wife, are the perfect people to do this, .. thank you for doing this, all the way from SA, ..take care
So Stacy knew about the previous wife and that he murdered her. But stayed silent, married him, and made children. I don't understand these women, and from watching these true crime channels, there are too many. But that said, who is raising these men committing these disappearances and murder of women, in America?
I was wondering about that. Either he gets a hard time from his fellow inmates, or he gets protection from his fellow cop type guards. Or he's in solitary because he's an ex cop and it's for his protection?
Of course its sad about Stacy but she harassed the wife who ended up dead also.I don't believe a guy like him didn't at least let her know he was going to or did kill the ex wife.She knew he killed and stayed with him which was dumb.
Stacie was a victim like all the other wives. He told her that wife number three wanted to interfere in the marriage, making her jealous. These narcs, they can play a large group of people without ever breaking a sweat. Kathleen didn't die from Stacy harassing her.
@@josefinevomberg8437 oh if he had money it makes more sense bc he’s ugly old and seems uneducated. How did that last wife know he murdered his wife , give him an alibi and then marry him? Who marries a murderer?

I think it's a good idea to stay away from anyone with the last name Peterson.🤔

Whoever the investigator was, when he put down that Kathleen had an accidental death, that investigator should be held as an accomplice to cover up a murder, because he definitely helped Drew cover it up.
Absolutely!!
Brotherhood loyalty?
Cops will be cops.
Can you imagine what that murderous dirty cop HAS gotten away with that no one knows about? Unreal.
I want to know where he put Stacy. My guess, he got a plane and dumped that barrel in one of the Great Lakes.
Absolutely. He didn't have any rules for himself. I'm a retired police officer. This kind of evil in uniform is sickening.
He's such a disgusting creep. I can't believe how the police mishandled the cases. Very sad.

I'll live with what I went through & spent 2yrs single working on myself & I'm happy surrounded by my loved ones & have the greatest boyfriend who's been extremely supportive & treats me like a queen. I'm glad you're out of your marriage I wish you all the best.
All men are sociopaths!!!
@Vern Sherris Thank you Vern, it took my ex cheating on me(with former friend) to be free & happy. I held onto my trauma for so long that it almost blocked me from meeting my boyfriend who understood what I went through & brought back the old but improved version of me back.
Moral of the story: “Stay as far away as possible of anyone called Peterson…they are bad news for wives”…
Claudia Salgado. Lol. Another person commented the same wise words.
Great video, glad they put this fool away.
That was the best coverage of this case ever!👍🤙
I'm glad that Drew Peterson got nailed for plotting against the prosecutor and won't get out. 38 years is not a long enough sentence for taking life. Especially when there's three other lives that were taken by the same man and he needs to, as you said, never see the outside of a prison.
If your name is Stacy, Lacey, or actually any name, don't marry a guy named Peterson. Because of the bizarre fact that there's already three Mrs. Petersons that were murdered by their husbands. Really disgusting in this case how cops take care of their own. Hope he's having a hard time in prison.
You guys always give the best recaps, Chris and Amy! I did mix up Scott and Drew Peterson for a minute. Good storytelling. Can you believe this guy killed four wives? Scumbag murderer, cop. Glad he'll only come out of prison feet first.
You guys always have info I never heard before.
Stacey lied to cover up Kathleen's murder, so I find it hard to be sympathetic that she recieved the same fate.
Exactly.
I give her a pass on lying, as he told her what to say. Remember, she met him when she was 17, and went missing at 22…she was just a kid, who was groomed & controlled by him.
I think by the time Stacy knew about Kathleen's murder, she was too afraid of Drew not to cover for him. And the fact that somehow he got her when she was so young. He had complete control of her. He was not going to let her leave him. She must have known he wouldn't let her get out alive. He obviously used the confession in the heat of a threat to her.
This so sad and crazy how Stacy mother disappeared as well and was never found. Hope the family find peace ❤️
Thank you Chris. They need to keep him locked up.
Oh I had forgotten that he was a sergeant in the police force. He knew all the ropes and how to get around being tried for the murder of Stacy. He practiced so well with Kathleen and would’ve gotten away with that murder had he not then killed Stacy. What Terrible crimes he committed!
anyone ever see the movie with Rob Lowe? chilling how great Lowe was in the movie.
Wasn’t he fantastic as Drew? So darn creepy….
Like Drew’s ego wasn’t large enough. Should had waited until the bastard was dead.
Never saw it. But it grosses me out when they cast these classically handsome actors as the murderous bastards! Like casting what's his face as Bundy. Zac Efron. Rob Lowe is one of the better looking guys of my generation. Gross to see him play such a scumbag murderer.
Drew Peterson is probably the closest "reincarnated of King Henry the VIII........ so much in common!! Vile evil egotistical dogs!! So glad I found your podcast!! Love this channel!!
Narcissists never treat you in a way that makes you WANT to stay. Instead they treat you like garbage and try to make it impossible to leave
Wow you guys!! I've never heard that full story!!! Thanks for getting it out there!! Love y'all!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks!
I met Stacey Cales brother in Chicago. My aunt lived across the street from him and his girlfriend and kids. He had a lot of issues but his girlfriend was becoming a doctor and had toddlers. I met them multiple times as they started interacting with our family more. I once went into their home for a bday party and there was a very detailed painting of Stacy. I didn’t know who he was but once I seen that picture, I made the connection.I had chills! It was beyond eerie. Hope they find closure one day.
I’m surprised there’s no limit on how many times you can get married you’d think they’ll ban you if you’ve been divorced and abusive like this guy
I would love to see what this creep looks like now since he’s been in prison a few years now. I bet he ain’t smiling.
He is in a special jail for ex cops or white collar crimes. It's like a summer camp.
Is the motto of this Illinois police for "Better Late Than Never," or maybe, "We'll Get Around to It Eventually?" Oh wait, I know. It's "To Protect (Our Own) and Serve (When the Media Attention Leaves Us No Choice)."
I've been grieving over the death of Taylor Hawkins. Music is my first love. After 10 days of listening to the Foo Fightersand seeing my tickets refunded, I'm back to true crime. Missed you and Amy.
I believe hes definitely guilty of murdering both Kathleen AND Stacy and should never be let out of prison!
True
One of the most narcissistic persons I’ve ever heard of, not to mention creepy looking!
Hi Chris. Chris I really don't know how to articulate my absolute disgust with law enforcement. I know I have commented that several times on your Channel already. But this one takes the cake. All his buddies all of his police buddies sticking up for him giving him a break, it's just too much way too much to fathom. Calling it a drowning and there's no water. Why was this guy only given after years of no investigation on any level for any of the women, why was he finally only given 40 something years? That's just absolute disgust. Why wasn't he getting life in prison without the possibility of parole. And then they finally did a little more investigation and he ended up with a longer sentence. It's just so disgusting and so difficult to realize that there is nothing absolutely nothing we can do to change the way law enforcement and authorities handle cases. It's an embarrassment and once again we see it playing itself out all over again in this case. Yes it was horrific that all these women had to lose their life but the icing on the cake is that the justice system is not at all just. It literally makes me feel so angry and so hopeless. What are we going to do what can we do? And we know the answer is a big fat nothing. people get away with so much crap it makes my head spin. Have a great weekend and say hello to your beautiful wife. I'll see you in the next video. I'm getting to the point though where I can't handle much more of seeing how this guy got away with so much bullshit just because he was a cop. Disgusting, and he was plotting to kill the prosecutor.
Love your videos with BTW your information is on point and stuff I learn from your channel always opens my eyes to the reality of the situation! Pleas never stop sharing this with us! ❤️❤️🙏🙏 I love you guys!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awesome! Thank you!
I wonder how many law officers get away with murder.
Perfect timing! I'm glad you posted this, much needed.
Heart breaking 🙏
Thank you for talking about Drew's brother being involved with Stacy's disappearance. In many video's he's not even mentioned.
You're welcome!
makes you wonder how much crap he got away with while he hid behind that badge...and how his fellow officers probably helped him. narcissist, violent, controlling...red flags that should have gotten noticed. good video, thanks.
Love the tense intro beat. Gets your suspense hyped up. 😬👍🎶
Hi Chris and Amy will you please cover Lisa Irwin missing case ?
Will check it out, thank you!
@@TrueCrimeRecaps
Hi Chris and Amy how are you doing?
Will you please cover missing Toronto teen Mariam Makhniashvili ? It’s a very strange case or maybe I am overthinking… also legendary Indian actress Late Sri Devi please… everyone knows it’s a murder but unfortunately she never got justice.
So gross, i cant believe he didnt get in trouble after his first wife.
Please post more videossss you guys are my favorite channel 💕
The police dropped the ball and people died.
Thank you guys! Great vid!
Did you know there is an update on the two young girls killed by the bridge?
@Vern Sherris they have one main suspect in custody and maybe a second. A file was released accidentally with the details. They think its a father and son who murdered them :(
Do you have a link you could post?
Man, I hope they get justice for those poor girls
@Vern Sherris nor me. Im not sure why they aren't speaking about it. Maybe because its not "official".
Shouldn't be much longer now though. According to that news broadcast they've almost solved it.
You two are my favourite couple tubers , love your channel ,thank you for all you do your appreciated .❤️🙏🇨🇦
Of course he murdered Stacy. I hope her remains are found so her family gets closure. I shudder to think this man carried a gun and was supposed to uphold the law.
Hi Chris! Have a great day! Thanks and love from Australia!💙🦘💙🦘💙🦘💙🦘💙🦘💙
You are most welcome! And you have a great day too!
What did Stacy see in that old man ? Yuk
Thanks TCR great episode 👍 love your channel ❤️
You should look into the Lisa Stebic case that was covered up because of the Drew Peterson case.
I am just amazed that someone like this gets 4 wives and then young beautiful ones. Scary
Lots of desperate women with a daddy issue.
Disgusting human. How did he get younger women. He looks like their grandfather. Stacey lying on the death of his 3 rd wife came back to haunt her.
Wasn’t his looks….was $$
@@rbkemp40 makes sense. I should of guessed.
Hey - my favorite couple!! ❤️
Love you two!!!! ♥️♥️
😘
What did these women see in this creep???
I agree with you, he was a creep. I can only speculate as to what they saw in him. I had heard that he would be really nice in the beginning. They may have been attracted to him because of his authoritative job, at least for a while. He would buy Stacy cool stuff, like her own car. It was probably fun playing "grown up" for a while. Once she started having kids of her own, then she got more trapped into his world.
The reality must have set in. She would have been very dependent on him. I think she was a house wife with 4 kids to take care of...her 2 plus his 2 from Kathleen Savio. She was very young when they first got together (like 15?) He was 30 yrs older than her !! There was probably some brain washing going on.
Later, it sounds like it would have done no good to report him for anything because of the corrupt police force. He was so possessive and it sounds like she stayed out of fear and dependency. That's all I can think of !!
For real. He was not attractive. Had to have fake charm.
He looks like the chief of police where I grew up. An alcoholic who could be found in the next town’s nightclub, totally sh*t-faced every week. Found out he was married straight out of high school & had a bunch of kids... that us teens, whom he was always trying to date wasn’t aware of... until his wife came dragging a bunch of kids to pick up a prescription where a friend worked, & my friend asked if she was related. Always felt bad for her & the kids. He heads some kind of Christian center, that is huge, but has never had many members.
Excellent recap
love your show, keep going,,,,from uk,
I don't see why the cops didn't/haven't asked Drew's bro-in-law where the storage unit is he got to store the plastic barrel... The worst part is that there's many more guys like Drew & are police officers... There needs to be a very strict mental evaluation 1st to become a cop and every time they fire their weapon or involved in anything life threatening or extremely stressful, they should be having a evaluation again
They will loose 80% of their forces if they do a mental health test.
This is so sad. They had the same evidence years ago but they treat ex- wives as expendable until they get public scrutiny. Stacy should've been here.
Great story
Cops protect fellow "brothers". Us and them.
He turns my stomach. Such an ego . But that is also what got him caught. He talks to much. Bolingbrook Police should be ashamed too. Just because he was a cop he is still a suspect. Professional curtesy? Those interview on tv, you can see he was trying to control them. Hope he stays in jail the rest of his life.
Cases like this disgust me. This narcissist pos using the law that he is supposed to be upholding as a tool to distract detour allowing him to get away with countless crime’s let alone the worst being murder. One can only say that thankfully he did not have cremation done on wife #3 that later helping to convict him.
But what about the other many police officers protecting and diverting from doing an abdicate job or even properly documenting the many things they should have been.
Just because a person is a fellow police officer doesn’t give them a pass. This mentality need’s to change.
I love the true crime recaps, you and your beautiful wife, are the perfect people to do this, .. thank you for doing this, all the way from SA, ..take care
So Stacy knew about the previous wife and that he murdered her. But stayed silent, married him, and made children. I don't understand these women, and from watching these true crime channels, there are too many. But that said, who is raising these men committing these disappearances and murder of women, in America?
There are too many prominent murder cases involving men named Peterson. I get them all confused sometimes.
Was there anything ever done about the other police who refused to file reports?
You must be joking?
@@synewparadigm one can hope.
Right to the point !
Poor, Poor Staci….. Drew is a complete monster!!!
A cop in jail?! Oh…I bet he’s having fun!
I was wondering about that. Either he gets a hard time from his fellow inmates, or he gets protection from his fellow cop type guards. Or he's in solitary because he's an ex cop and it's for his protection?
Of course its sad about Stacy but she harassed the wife who ended up dead also.I don't believe a guy like him didn't at least let her know he was going to or did kill the ex wife.She knew he killed and stayed with him which was dumb.
Stacie was a victim like all the other wives. He told her that wife number three wanted to interfere in the marriage, making her jealous. These narcs, they can play a large group of people without ever breaking a sweat. Kathleen didn't die from Stacy harassing her.
That’s so sad. He thought he was above society.
His second wife had bad accident her brake lines were cut. She almost died!!!
I heard about that.
My skin is crawling watching him.
Hes absolutely guilty.
How did he con all these women. Not the most nicest looking guy.
I wonder too. Charm, humour in the first time???? Money allegedly too.
These women were in a other league. Sad.
@@josefinevomberg8437 oh if he had money it makes more sense bc he’s ugly old and seems uneducated. How did that last wife know he murdered his wife , give him an alibi and then marry him? Who marries a murderer?
You and your wife do a wonderful job!!
