Here's a (Nov 30) article about TM: BOLINGBROOK, Ill. -- A new voice is being heard in the case of a missing Bolingbrook woman. A friend of the relative of Drew Peterson who has said that he fears he helped the former Bolingbrook police sergeant dispose of Stacy Peterson's body is saying that Peterson paid for that assistance. Walter Martineck Jr. appeared on the "Today" show Friday morning telling Meredith Viera that the man who is being portrayed as an instable alcoholic by Peterson attorney Joel Brodsky is actually a "down to earth" guy who has been Martineck's friend since the two were teenagers. Martineck said that the man came to his house in a panic the night that he helped Peterson. Martineck said the Peterson relative said, "I know she was in there," referring to Stacy Peterson and a large container he claims he helped his step-brother move from a bedroom to the back of Peterson's SUV. "He was real frantic. I could tell he'd been drinking a little," said Martineck on "Today." "He put his hands on my shoulders and says, 'You can't tell no one.' He just told me that he thinks he helped dispose of Stacy's body." The man told Martineck that Peterson gave him money to help him move the plastic, rectangular container which, the relative said, weighed about 120 pounds and was warm to the touch. When Martineck asked him how he knew, he recalled that the man told him it was because the container was warm. Martineck said that police have told him not to talk about the case and requested that he not appear on the "Today" show as he'd planned. But he said that he decided to do so to help Morphey, his friend since the two met in junior high school 19 years ago. "...All I want to do is protect (his) character," Martineck said. He told "Today" co-host Meredith Vieira that Morphey tried to kill himself to protect his family. "He was just afraid of his family's life," he said, adding that Morphey did not specifically tell him that it was Drew Peterson he feared. www.nbc5.com/news/14735158/detail.html?dl=mainclick

www.suntimes.com/news/669960,boling112707.article Drew's relative attempted suicide, source says Drew Peterson's relative said to be distraught over Stacy's disappearance November 27, 2007 BY JOE HOSEY Herald News One of Drew Peterson's relatives overdosed on pills after helping the former Bolingbrook police sergeant load a large barrel into Peterson's SUV the day Stacy Peterson vanished, a police source said Tuesday. Thomas Morphey, a step-brother, was hospitalized but survived what the source described as a suicide attempt. Morphey's wife called police, saying her husband heard of the disappearance, became distraught and feared he might have unwittingly helped dispose of Drew Peterson's wife's body, the source said. Drew Peterson visited Morphey in the hospital, the source said. Last Friday, the Sun-Times reported that a neighbor told police he saw Drew Peterson and another man loading the barrel into the SUV. Illinois State Police have seized the Denali among other property taken from the Petersons' Bolingbrook home. Tests conducted on the vehicle at the State Police laboratory had not been completed, a source said late last week. But another source said police located pieces of blue plastic on the back end of the Denali. State investigators have also released photographs of the SUV and Stacy Peterson's vehicle, a purple Pontiac Grand Am, hoping someone might have seen one or both of the vehicles in the hours after the young wife vanished. Stacy Peterson's family members say they last heard from her the morning of Oct. 28. The mother of two was expected to help paint a house in Yorkville later that day, but she never showed up, her relatives say. Police and scores of volunteers have scoured the countryside searching for Stacy Peterson. Drew Peterson has not participated in those searches. Police have identified Drew Peterson as a suspect in his wife's disappearance. The investigation has prompted Will County prosecutors to take another look at the 2004 death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio. Savio's death was originally ruled an accidental drowning, but authorities now believe it may have been a homicide. Drew Peterson has denied any involvement in his wife's disappearance or his ex-wife's death. He maintains that Stacy Peterson left him, possibly for another man. On Tuesday, he refused to answer a reporter's questions about moving a barrel from his home.

www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7009295057Relative Tells Police He Fears He Helped Drew Peterson Dispose Of Wife's Body November 28, 2007 1:03 p.m. EST Bolingbrook, IL (AHN)-A relative of former policeman and murder suspect Drew Peterson says he may have inadvertently helped Peterson dispose of the body, a new report revealed on Wednesday. The 53-year-old Illinois policeman is considered a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife, 23-year-old Stacy Peterson, who was reported missing by her sister on October 29. According to a report by the Chicago Tribune, a male relative of Drew Peterson told a friend on October 28 that he helped Peterson haul a large, blue barrel "big enough to put someone in" from a bedroom in the Peterson house to the former cop's SUV. After learning of Stacy's disappearance, Peterson's step brother-in-law apparently became so distraught over his possible involvement that he tried to commit suicide. Police are now focusing their search for the blue barrel on areas of water, aided by the Texas-based search group EquuSearch. It is also being reported that Drew Peterson did not did not show up to work on the night that his 23-year-old wife disappeared, casting additional suspicion on the former cop. Peterson's third ex-wife, 40-year-old Kathleen Savio's body was exhumed recently for a second autopsy after authorities feared the initial cause of death ruling was wrong, and that her death was not an accident but staged to conceal a homicide

BOLINGBROOK | Says he had tires to stash, rips in-law's claim Comments
March 16, 2009
BY FRANK MAIN Crime Reporter/fmain@suntimes.com Drew Peterson acknowledged in a radio interview Sunday that he and a stepbrother visited a southwest suburban storage facility the day before his wife Stacy disappeared in 2007, but he insisted he was not plotting a murder.
Peterson, in an interview on WIND-AM (560), said he and Thomas Morphey visited the facility on Illinois 53 because Peterson needed a place to store tires cluttering the garage of his Bolingbrook home. He said he was just looking and did not rent a storage space.
» Click to enlarge image Drew Peterson acknowledged in a radio interview Sunday that he and his stepbrother visited a suburban storage facility the day before his wife Stacey Peterson disappeared. Peterson rejected claims that he was planning a murder. (Tom Cruze/Sun-Times)
RELATED STORIES Excerpts of Morphey's 'Good Morning America' interview Morphey is expected to appear on ABC's "Good Morning America" this morning. Morphey told ABC that he and Peterson discussed a storage facility, and "I knew it wasn't, it wasn't good. He was planning on killing somebody."
Earlier this month, Morphey said he was in Peterson's home on Oct. 28, 2007.
Morphey said he saw Peterson, a former Bolingbrook cop, come out of the master bedroom with a blue barrel. Morphey said he helped Peterson carry the barrel downstairs, out the front door and into Peterson's Yukon Denali parked in the driveway.
Peterson drove Morphey home and told him, "This never happened," Morphey claimed.
Stacy, the fourth wife of Drew Peterson, hasn't been seen since that day. State Police are investigating.
In an interview Sunday night with WIND personality Geoff Pinkus and newswoman Amy Jacobson, Peterson denied he had a blue barrel and said Morphey is not believable because he suffers from alcohol and drug addiction.
Peterson added that he is not the only one whose wife has disappeared. About 15 years ago, Morphey's wife vanished, Peterson said.
Police have named Peterson as the only suspect in Stacy's "potential homicide." His third wife, Kathleen Savio, was found dead in her bathtub in 2004 after they divorced. No charges have been brought in either case.

Peterson's stepbrother finally tells his story March 10, 2009 By JOE HOSEY jhosey@scn1.com
Believing Stacy Peterson was in the blue barrel he helped his stepbrother haul to a waiting get-away car, Thomas Morphey said he tried to kill himself by swallowing bottles of anti-depressant and anti-anxiety pills.
“It kills me,” said Morphey, who broke a near 17-month silence to speak out last week. “There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t wish I could take back the events of that day.”
Morphey is talking about Oct. 28, 2007. That’s when Drew Peterson, he said, came out of the master bedroom in his home pushing a blue barrel and asked Morphey for a hand in carrying the barrel downstairs.
“I asked him, ‘Shouldn’t we have gloves on?’ He said, ‘No, don’t worry about it,” then hushed Morphey to be quiet.
“That leads me to believe the kids were home, in their rooms,” Morphey said.
.” Morphey said he is quite certain there is nothing “potential” about Stacy being the victim of a homicide. And what he has to say about it led State’s Attorney James Glasgow to offer an immunity deal three days after Stacy was last seen alive.
Morphey got the deal while recovering from an overdose of Paxil and Xanax at Linden Oaks Hospital on Halloween 2007. However, Morphey has yet to deliver it in a courtroom. No arrests have been made in connection with Stacy’s disappearance, and Morphey has not even been called before the grand jury reviewing the cases of both Peterson’s last two wives.
Morphey said the day before the blue barrel incident, Peterson showed up at his home, ostensibly to take him to a nearby Meijer store, where Peterson, the overnight sergeant for the Bolingbrook Police Department, had supposedly lined up a job interview for Morphey.
But Peterson and Morphey never made it to Meijer. Instead, Morphey said, Peterson drove him to a park off Remington Boulevard.
“We went to that park to discuss Stacy cheating on him, and he had to take care of the problem,” Morphey said.
He assumed Peterson planned to murder someone but that his target was Stacy’s supposed boyfriend.
“I didn’t think for a minute he was going to try to kill her,” he said. Then Peterson started asking strange questions.
“How much do you love me?” Morphey said Peterson asked him, and Morphey answered that he did love him, a lot.
Peterson then asked, “Enough to kill for me?” “No, I couldn’t live with myself,” Morphey said.
Peterson pressed on, asking, “Could you live with knowing about it?”
Morphey replied, “Yeah, I guess. We always figured you killed Kathleen.”
Morphey said Peterson then drove him to a storage facility and asked him to rent a unit, using his own name. Morphey had not brought along his required state identification. Peterson, fearing that leaving to get it and then returning would attract undue attention, dropped Morphey at home, Morphey said.
A few hours later, Morphey said, he called Peterson and told him this was something he couldn’t get involved with. Peterson, he said, replied, “OK, I can respect that.”
Morphey said he feared a life was at stake, but did not know where to turn because Peterson was a police officer. “It’s just something I have to live with,” Morphey said. “I grew up Catholic. I believe if you take another life, you go to hell.”
Morphey and Peterson forged a relationship in the mid 90s, after the marriage of Morphey’s father and Peterson’s mother. After Morphey’s own marraige broke down, he moved in with a sister in Bolingbrook. That’s when he got to know Drew Peterson.
“My son’s a cop there,” Morphey recalled his new stepmother telling him. “He’ll take care of you.”
Since Stacy’s disappearance and the revelation that police believe Morphey helped Peterson dispose of her body, Peterson has repeatedly disparaged his stepbrother.
Told of the interview with Morphey, Peterson said Monday, “He’s lying. He’s hallucinating.” Just last week, Peterson’s attorney, Joel Brodsky issued a statement in which he said Morphey “has a documented history of severe mental illness, drug and alcohol addiction.”
Morphey concedes he has been diagnosed as manic-depressive, was arrested twice for driving under the influence, and did a stint in rehab in the wake of his mother’s death.
Since then, he said, he has straightened out his life. He has lived with the same woman, Sheryl Alcox, and her three sons, 11-year-old twins and an 18-year-old, for almost nine years. The three young men excel academically, and Morphey¹s life would be back together, he believes, if his stepbrother had not come calling the weekend of Oct. 27, 2007.
Cell phone calls
The night after their trip to the park on Remington, and then the storage facility, Morphey said Peterson showed up again. Morphey admits he’d been drinking beer, but claims to have a clear recollection of what transpired.
“He just started driving,” Morphey said. The two men got coffee at a Starbucks drive-through before heading to a park off Weber Road. There, Morphey said, Peterson handed him a cell phone, told him not to answer it, then left.
Morphey said he paced back and forth in the dark, wondering, “Is he killing someone?” About 45 minutes later the phone rang. Then it rang again. Both times, the caller ID showed “Stacy’s cell,” he said. It was then he “got a pretty good idea” that Peterson was not scheming to do in anybody’s boyfriend.
“Really, all I could think when I saw “Stacy” on the phone was he was killing her while I was standing there,” he said.
Peterson returned to the park within an hour of the phone calls, Morphey said, and Drew insisted he help him “at the house moving something.” They went inside the Peterson house, and Morphey noticed all of the children’s bedroom doors were closed. They took the barrel “right out the front door” to Peterson’s Yukon Denali, which was parked in the driveway, Morphey said. Part of a thick plastic bag was protruding from the lid of the barrel, he said.
After loading the barrel, Morphey said, Peterson dropped him off at his home and told him, “This never happened.”
“I said, ‘Don’t worry. I won’t say a word.”
But it did not take Morphey long to talk. Frantic, he left his house and went up the street to see his friend Walter Martineck. He told Martineck everything and stayed at Martineck’s until Alcox called and told him to come home.
Morphey spent the next day at the hospital with Alcox. He spoke on the phone with Peterson, he said, telling him he wanted to hang himself. Peterson, he said, told him not to worry.
When he got home that night, Morphey started drinking again. He spoke on the phone with one of his brothers. He had told the brother some of the details from the past weekend, and the brother told him he called the FBI about it.
Morphey said he hung up on his brother, ate two bottles of pills, and got in bed. He says he tried to kill himself to keep his girlfriend and her sons safe from Peterson. But Morphey’s brother called 911, and soon emergency responders were banging on the door.
Peterson visits
On that Tuesday morning, after returning from Edward Hospital in Naperville, Alcox said Peterson showed up at their door, not long after she saw a story on the TV news about Stacy’s disappearance.
She told Peterson about Morphey’s suicide attempt. He offered his help but said nothing about his wife’s disappearance, she said.
Martineck then arrived and drove Alcox to District 5 State Police Headquarters in Crest Hill. Soon after, troopers headed to the hospital in Naperville. But before they got there, Peterson paid his stepbrother a visit, one Morphey remembers only through the haze of medication. Martineck said the state cops just missed him.
Getting immunity
The next day, Morphey got his offer of immunity. Glasgow showed up himself to grant it. He had a couple state troopers with him, and they talked to Morphey in a coffee room.
“It was the first of many interrogations,” Morphey said. “They went easy on me there.” But the grilling got tougher, he said, with police accusing him of killing Stacy. Morphey figures he underwent about 40 hours of interrogation that included threats to pull his immunity.
Morphey said he spent about five months away from his family for his own protection. The state police first put him and Alcox up in a motel about two hours from his home. Alcox returned after a long weekend.
“I was put at various locations,” he said. “I didn’t know where I’d be staying from one night to the other.” In December, the state police found a permanent location for Morphey out of state, but by “February or March, I just decided enough was enough,” he said.
Police, he said, reluctantly agreed to let him return home.
Holding pattern
That was a year ago. And Morphey has yet to speak a word to the ongoing grand jury convened to hear evidence about Stacy¹s disappearance and Savio’s death.
“All contact’s pretty much been broken,” he said. And Morphey feels “betrayed.”
Charles B. Pelkie, spokesman for the state¹s attorney¹s office, said he was precluded from discussing Morphey’s story. “I can’t comment on any aspect of a pending investigation,” he said.
The state police have told Morphey to keep his mouth shut, Morphey said. But he wants to know what the police are waiting for. “I just feel like the truth needs to be told at some point,” he said. “...I don¹t know if I’ll get my day in court.”
Morphey doesn’t know if Peterson will have his day in court, either.
“I know what I know,” he said. “Drew knows what I know.”
This finally fills in some blanks for me, don't know about anyone else, but Tom Morphey I feel, IS telling the complete truth, I don't think that Stacy is alive now. There is really no way that she could be.
