Wife of Bolingbrook police sergeant missing
By Sarah Schulte
October 30, 2007 - Illinois State Police are issuing an alert for the missing wife of a Bolingbrook police sergeant. The last time anyone heard from 23-year-old Stacy Ann Peterson was Sunday morning.
Peterson was supposed to meet a friend but she never showed up. She left the couple's home around 10 a.m. Her family reported her missing Monday morning around 4 a.m. after she failed to return home.
Her husband is Sergeant Drew Peterson, 53, a 29-year veteran of the Bolingbrook Police Department.
Stacy Peterson was going to help paint a house when she left.
State police say anyone who may have information on Peterson should contact them.
Bolingbrook police thought it was more appropriate to have an independent agency investigate the matter. However, police there are assisting the state police in the investigation. So far, there is no foul play indicated. Stacey Peterson was last seen by her husband.
"At approximately four in the morning, the family of Stacey Ann Peterson went into the Illinois State Police District 5 headquarters and reported her as a missing person. State police followed up with our department, sharing the information," said Lt. Ken Teppel.
Police say she was wearing a red jogging suit when she left. She was supposed to meet a family member to help paint a house.
Police say Stacey Peterson called her husband at 9 p.m. Sunday night. However, investigators would not reveal the nature of the phone call. Sgt. Peterson is taking some personal time off from the Bolingbrook Police Department. On Tuesday he was at home, but he did not want to do an on-camera statement without his attorney's approval.
"He's cooperating fully with the investigation. The Illinois State Police Investigators, I know the chief has spoken to him several times. The department has offered any type of support that we can give him and his family," said Teppel.
Stacey Ann Peterson is the police sergeant's fourth wife. Drew Peterson's previous wife was found dead in the bathtub in a Bolingbrook home three years ago. Her death was ruled an accident. But Tuesday, the Will County state's attorney said that he is going to review the case.
Sgt. Peterson was also fired from his job 20 years ago for misconduct. But he was reinstated after the charges went unproven.
"There's no signs of any foul play or anything that would determine otherwise. So that's why we're handling it, state police are handling it, as a missing persons investigation," said Teppel.
Investigators were interviewing family, friends and neighbors. They're also interviewing people at Joliet Junior College where Stacey Peterson took nursing classes.
