I know it’s been a while since I’ve blogged to you and I’m not going to make up excuses because there are no, I was slacking.  Not anymore, it’s time to air out the good old opinion. 

So Drew Peterson, former police sergeant of 30 years has been in the media as of late to tout off the fact that he’s engaged to a 24 year old (who by the way has been under a rock for said years).  Granted this will be Peterson’s FIFTH wife and I hope she’s taken out a life insurance policy because this guy’s track record isn’t so good.  His fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, is still missing. 

Peterson was arrested yesterday during a traffic stop and is being held on $20 million bond.  He’s being charged with the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.  The death of Savio was first deemed an accident by drowning, but after her body was exhumed that changed.  Peterson was always considered a suspect, like most husbands are when their wife, or ex-wife in this case, are murdered.  Savio was found dead in her bathtub with bloodied hair and a head wound just a few days before her divorce from Peterson was finalized.  A grand jury indictment alleges that “Peterson on or about Feb. 29, 2004 … caused Kathleen Savio to inhale fluid,” causing her death. 

What’s really sad is that Savio’s family has said that Kathleen had long feared Peterson and that if anything had happened to her it wouldn’t be an accident.  A woman should never have to live in fear of her husband. 

Recently, Peterson appeared on The Early Show with his son, Thomas, to proclaim his innocence.  Granted his attorneys believe they have a hell of an alibi, I beg to differ, something just doesn’t seem right.  His son said that Peterson was with them around the time of the death.  “I highly do not believe that my dad had murdered my mom. Because, first off, he wasn’t there, he was with us during that period of time,” Thomas Peterson said on the show.

I’m sure he was son, fear makes you say a lot of things. 

Here’s the kicker in this whole thing.  After they arrested him he told the Joilet Herald-News, “I guess I should have returned those library books.”  There will be plenty of time to read in the big house, Chief.

Insert your profanity here.
