KYLE PIRY, ONCE ENGAGED TO DREW PETERSON: "I did break up with him. And it was after that that I had gone back to the house, his house, to get some of my things that I had left. And an argument ensued. He again was accusing me of, Who were you with, you know, that sort of thing, pushed me over a cocktail table and pinned me to the ground. And that was the only physical altercation I had had with him. But it was very scary to me because I had never had anyone treat me that way. And you know, he did hurt me. I did eventually get up. I went home. My stepdad was the only one there, and I explained to him what had happened. And he told me, he said, You need to call the police. And being naive, I thought, Well, I don't have a bruise. You know, I don't have a mark. And he convinced me otherwise, that that still was battery and I needed to call the police. So I did call the police. However, they sent over an officer that happened to be his friend and kind of convinced me not to — not to press charges."

Greta: On The Record
December 11, 2007 Former Fiancee parents reported Peterson harassment ILL KYLE PIRY, ONCE ENGAGED TO DREW PETERSON: "Well, actually, it got to the point of three months after we had broken up, of the harassment — you know, as I'd be going out or coming back into town after going out, he would pull me over. You know, he didn't write me tickets all the time, but it was getting harassing. So eventually, my mom and stepdad did call the police department. I believe they spoke to the chief at the time and explained the harassing and that it really needed to stop or we were going to pursue it further."

1980
Drew Peterson and wife Carol (Hamilton) son is born ??

"[Kyle] Piry [age 46 in 2007] was in her early 20s [1980 ?] when she first encountered the handsome, mustachioed police officer. She worked part-time at a Bolingbrook gas station while attending beauty school. [Drew] Peterson arrived in uniform to investigate a gas theft. The police officer -- seven years her senior -- wasted no time in showing interest."

"In 1980, [Carol] Peterson filed for divorce and appointed an attorney. Brown, who was not working at the time, could not afford a lawyer, so Peterson's attorney oversaw the divorce proceedings. "That would be the controlling-type thing that he would do," she said. "He'd want things his way, and I'd want things my way and I think that's normal in any divorce relationship." As for Peterson hiring an attorney to mediate the divorce, [Carol] Brown said, "What kind of ethics did that lawyer have that he would represent both of us?"

"But four months later, [Kyle] Piry called it off because she wasn't ready to become step-mother to Peterson's two young children from his first wife.[Carol]" - "Peterson appeared devastated, Piry said. She took pity on him, and ended up at his house one night about a week after the break-up. Piry said she found "long black hairs" in Peterson's bed."

Peterson stalked me, says ex-fiancee

By RUSSELL GOLDMAN

Nov. 21, 2007 - Drew Peterson, the former police sergeant who is suspected in the disappearance of his fourth wife and possibly the murder of his third, had yet another fiancee who now says he stalked her and arrested her on false charges.

With Peterson "it was always a power thing, it was always a control thing," said Kyle Piry, an Illinois woman who was engaged to the police officer in the 1980s. She talked about Peterson's "smirky smile," his charms and his sudden bouts of anger.

"I was engaged to Drew some 20 odd years ago and I broke it off for various reasons," Piry, 53, told ABCNEWS.com. The Bolingbrook, Ill., officer resigned last week from the force amid a mounting investigation.

After she left Peterson and returned the engagement ring, she said he harassed, stalked and arrested her on false charges and threw her against a coffee table.

"After I broke up with him I went to his house to get some things. He started calling me names and pushed me over a coffee table. He sat on me and straddled me with legs, yelling& No one had ever done anything like that to me and I didn't know what to do," she said.

Piry said she called the police, but friends of Peterson in the department "swept it away."

Piry began dating the then 27-year-old police officer when she was 20 years old, working as an attendant at a gas station and going to beauty school.

"He was quite a bit older. I was 20 and he was 27. He had two kids from a previous marriage and never wanted me to go out with my friends. There were a bunch of kind of creepy things and somewhere along the line, I realized I didn't want to be with him," she said.

Soon after the couple broke up, Peterson would routinely pull her car over for unreasonable infractions and one day while working in a beauty parlor in 1983 Peterson and another officer arrested her.

"He told me I was being arrested for having too many parking tickets. He put me in the squad car and arrested me. The thing is, I never got those parking tickets. I think he wrote them and never gave them to me& Through the whole thing he always had that smirky smile. He thought it was a game," she said.

Peterson didn't return calls seeking comment, but the Chicago Sun-Times confirmed with him that he had been engaged to Piry.

"You guys are reaching," he told the Sun-Times. "I remember her. I was engaged to her."

Bolingbrook police confirmed Piry's 1983 arrest, but provided no further details.

Piry said she cannot claim she had any inkling that Peterson would later be the prime suspect in the disappearance of a woman or accused of perhaps playing a role in the death of another.

"I can't say this is something I would have expected at 20. Sometimes I worried, but I never felt afraid for my life. He gave me ticket and he'd stalk me. Looking at him now at 46 and realizing that that it could have led to who-knows-what, I'm glad I left when I did."

Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, 24, went missing Oct. 28. The 53-year-old sergeant has become the prime suspect in an investigation and the center of a media storm for his blas attitude about her disappearance.

Since Stacy went missing, investigators have exhumed the body of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, who died in a mysterious bathtub drowning.

Ex-fiancee says she didnt fear Drew Peterson
Kyle Piry now thinks the young cop she almost married is capable of murder

Kyle Piry was just 20 when she broke off her engagement to a handsome and charming Chicago-area cop named Drew Peterson. She says it was just a lot of little things he did that made her uncomfortable.

But 26 years later, as police look for that mans fourth wife and take a new look at the untimely demise of his third bride, Piry tells TODAY she probably should have been more afraid of Drew Peterson than she was when they dated.

I look back, no, I wasnt afraid probably naively, Piry told TODAY co-host Meredith Vieira on Monday of her experience with Peterson.

Asked to describe her reaction to news stories that Peterson is being investigated in connection with the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, and the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, Piry said initially she was in disbelief.

I was shocked, Piry said.

Peterson has not been charged with any crimes, but has said he expects to be arrested. He has been described by relatives and friends of both women as being possessive and controlling. Both women reportedly told friends and family that Peterson was capable of killing them.

Piry told Vieira that the man she knew showed some signs of the behavior his third and fourth wives described, but she never thought he was dangerous.

To look back, I dont think at that time I would have thought he was capable of it, she said. But after Ive heard the stories and things that have occurred with previous wives, theyre just very, very similar to the things that occurred with me. It seemed like it started with me. I heard his first wife said there was no abuse of any sort and maybe snowballed with each woman got a little worse.

Piry is 46 now and married with a family of her own. She had met Peterson while she was working at a gas station and Peterson, seven years her senior, had come to investigate a crime.

He was attractive. He was funny. He had a good wit about him, she told Vieira. He was complimentary and that sort of thing. He was charming.

Peterson had already been married once and divorced and had children by that marriage. But Piry was smitten and soon accepted his proposal to marry.

We hadnt set dates or that sort of thing, but we were engaged for about four months before I decided there were too many things that just made me really uncomfortable, Piry said.

None of the things that troubled her were major issues, she said. Rather, it was a cumulative feeling that gave her a gut sense that this was a future she did not want for herself.

There wasnt anything great happening or flashing red lights, she said. There were little things that just made you think, Hmmm, somethings wrong here. If I wanted to go out with my friends on the weekend, he didnt like that, he was upset with that. As the relationship went on, it got to be worse and worse.

Jealous and possessive
He grilled her about places she went and people she saw, and, she discovered, he sometimes followed her when she went out. When he got angry, he called her names and was verbally abusive, but he never threatened her physically until she had broken up with him and went back to his house to pick up some of her things.

It turned into an argument, she said. He pushed me over the cocktail table, got me on the ground, straddled me with his arms put my arms against the ground with his legs. That upset me. I had never had anyone treat me like that before.

Piry even filed domestic abuse charges with the Bolingbrook police, but, she said, his friends on the force encouraged her not to pursue them. I cant say they were covering up, she said. They just wanted it to go away.

For a time, she continued, Peterson continued to harass her, following her when she went out on weekends and pulling her over to write what she called frivolous traffic tickets for such violations as having bald tires.

But Piry said she didnt think of Peterson as dangerous. Hearing all the details now, its a different person than I knew, she said.

Piry is a private person and when the news of Stacy Petersons disappearance first broke, she didnt feel it was important for her to speak out. I didnt think it would help find Stacy or help with Kathleen, she told Vieira.

But she came forward because she believes there is a lesson for other young women in her own experience. She followed her gut instinct to break off an engagement that many others might have gone through with, she said.

I just think it really is important that girls pay attention to the little signs, she said. There was no big flashing red lights, but there was all these little things that in a different circumstance I could have ignored, but I didnt because something didnt feel right.

If she hadnt listened to her gut, she said, she realizes now as she watches the continuing coverage of the case, That could have been me.

Stacy Peterson, 23, has been missing since Oct. 23.

This weekend, the FBI joined the search, agreeing to provide technical assistance to the Illinois State Police. The results of a second autopsy performed on the recently exhumed body of Kathleen Savio have not yet been released
