No Records kept AIRPORT CAMERA IS ONLY A
WEB CAM
NO TOWER "Bolingbrook police say Sergeant Drew Peterson told them he found his wife's car at the airport Sunday night. A camera is aimed at the parking lot of the airport, and investigators have been trying to figure out if they can get images that will yield some clues. The problem, says Clow Airport Manager Joe DePaulo, is the the camera aimed at the parking lot is only a Web cam. Meaning, it does not record anything. DePaulo says investigators have been to the airport at least twice to try to get images from the Web cam."

Bolingbrook Police Chief Raymond McGury Guest Greta
On The Record "CHIEF RAYMOND MCGURY, BOLINGBROOK POLICE: "Well, initially, when Stacy was reported missing, my first inclination was to start the investigation immediately, but I wanted to consult with the family. And I called in Stacy's sister, Cassandra, as well as her father, Anthony, to meet with them on Monday morning. And they made it pretty clear to me that they would be more comfortable having an outside agency, such as the Illinois State Police, investigate this incident. And as I have stated, you know, before, in fact, to your producer, that was a tough pill for me to swallow, I'll be very honest with you. But it's the right thing to do."

Peterson's one-time guardian and close family friend -- "Peterson's one-time guardian and close family friend, James Maves, said he first heard about her disappearance on the news.

They seemed happy, but who doesn't have their ups and downs?" Maves said he observed that Stacy was a devoted and caring mother. He said she named her boy after her father and her daughter after her late sister. "I thought she was a great mom," he said. "I know she was a family-oriented person because she didn't have that growing up. She was a very caring person. She always tried to make everything work. She tried to make the best out of everything." [10/31/2007 "Man says wife leaving him]

He walked down his neighbor's driveway and stood at the edge of the sidewalk." - "Some of Peterson's six children were with them."

"Drew as he took me room by room to show me how he and Stacy and their children lived, I was in the basement. I did consider bolting�it felt scary and strange�but Drew was surprisingly subdued. I guessed he might have been drinking or was medicated but I don�t know for sure. I did not at any time feel I was in danger. But make no mistake. Drew had just told a news crew at the door �don�t ever return a library book late�see what can happen�. Behavior I can only term bizarre. Drew told me he was a good kisser. He also told me things about Stacy I would not, out of respect, repeat. If you watched our reporting you know he put out there what he wanted the media to cover�his version of events�without regard to what some of those statements might have meant should his kids hear them. This is why I am not repeating everything he said." - [11/04/2007 THE COLBY FILES]

"There are news helicopters flying over the airport now. I won't make any mention on camera's, as it is an airport, however we have camera's on the doors. Maybe it would be a good idea to check them. I cannot make mention on anything involving security issues (cameras, pilots and who is leaving when) and I wouldn't want to say anything that could become an issue with the safety of me and the other people here so I won't mention anything about who does and doesn't leave the airport. I will say that it wouldn't be hard to fly out as a passenger and no-one know. Our hanger is staffed 24-7, but with it being cold out we close the hanger door to keep the bay warmer. There are alot of cars that drive behind the airport, but if your not looking for it, it could be missed. It's not unusual to have a car drive on the airport grounds, but they cannot get all the way around as we block the drive-thru area for civilian protection; we can't have someone driving in the area with the helicopter taking off at moments notice. I'm curious to know which area of the parking lot he claims she left the vehicle." - [11/01/2007 boards.courttv.com/]

"The airport is very small. It could be missed easily. Heck, when I tried to find it the first time I had to have a co-worker guide me in. Ha, but I'm bad at directions. Anyway, the airport is right next to heavily populated strip malls. It would be a great place to meet someone and not be seen by the public, if she were to have taken off with someone else. It would also be a perfect place to take someone and not be seen. Especially, by someone that patrols the area on a nightly basis and knows the ins and out's of the area/location."

"Last night after State Police executed a search warrant at the home, Drew Peterson invited me into their home showing me room by room - from the bedrooms to the basement - what had been taken by investigators and was currently being reviewed for clues. I have to admit its the first time I�ve been in a house after a search by a dozen cops and search dogs. It was creepy but informative. While Drew Peterson continued to tell me his version of events, I couldn�t help but notice how extraordinary the environment was for the four children living there. �It�s all, said Drew, Stacy�. The murals, decorations, loving notes and pictures were everywhere. I don�t know what happened but to me this is a home Stacy was very involved in and it seemed sure she worked really hard to take care of her children. �She�s a good mother� Drew says." - [11/04/2007 THE COLBY FILES]

"I have known Stacy since she was 16. Her sister Tina (who passed away last year) was married to my brother. First off let me say that I can understand an outsider viewing the members of her family being interviewed might find them odd, trust me, that's just them. As i watched the interviews last night, I saw nothing unusual from these people I have known for 7 + years. Also, Stacys problems with her marrige go back before Tina passed last September. The kids in this family had it pretty darn hard throughout their young lives. But they were always very close to one another, and Stacy was kind of the "hub" for quite awhile. That is why my heart sank when I heard this. If Stacy were OK, she would have contacted Aunt Candy by now." [11/02/2007 boards.courttv.com/]

Anyway, the first search team found something and they were calling the State Police and 911 to get someone out there. They found a fresh pair of woman's panties and a mound of fresh dirt about a foot high, as in a grave.

I haven�t been able to find out from the Savio family why that son isn�t with them. A neighbor told me that the fourth child living in the home with Stacy and Drew � a boy she adopted who is also from Drew�s marriage to Kathleen Savio, now deceased, is staying down the street with his school principal.

But in a petition the Will County state's attorney filed Friday listing the reasons authorities want to exhume Savio's body, prosecutors said a review of evidence in the case "is consistent with the 'staging' of an accident to conceal a homicide." Prosecutors said they reviewed photographs of the crime scene and autopsy, the autopsy protocol, and police reports. "The 1-inch gash in the back of Kathleen Savio's head did not render her unconscious, which would have been necessary for her to accidentally drown in the bathtub," the petition stated.

He used to tell my mother that he could kill her and make it look like an accident."
VAN SUSTEREN: "She told you that?"
LISA: "Uh-huh."

Forum Comment by Margaret from Bolingbrook, November 13th, 2007 at 7:47 pm
"Greta- When I was in high school we lived next door to the Petersons on Seminole Ln in Bolingbrook. At the time, Drew was a K-9 officer. Our dog, a shepherd and his dog used to run side by side along our back fences. This used to piss Drew off so bad, because it wore away the grass that he would beat his dog. It was not uncommon for my mother to be yelling at him from the back window to stop beating his dog. On one occasion his wife appeared in the front of the house crying and with a black eye. She had two teenage sons and they both were very quiet and kept to themselves. My father (also a cop) gave Drew permission to �watch� me and if he saw me on the streets or with my friends to send me home, which he did on only one occasion. He was then as you see him now on TV, Sunglasses, No smiling or reactions. Just stone cold. Subsequently, I went on to do my inernship with the Bolingbrook Police Dept. and became a Police Officer in Chicago. People knew this man was an abuser, but there is a Code when you are a cop to never tell on another cop. Police protect eachother. No one in my neighborhood, my parents included called the Police on Drew when he beat his wife or dog. Back then, you just kept quiet. Im sure that is why his wife�s death was called �accidental" - [11/13/2007 GRETAWIRE Blog Forum]
