In October 2007, twenty-three-year-old Stacy Peterson vanished
from the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook, leaving behind her husband and children. Retired Police Sergeant Drew Peterson, thirty years Stacy's senior, steadfastly asserted his innocence and maintained that his wife
had simply fled their tumultuous marriage and run off with another man.
Throngs of journalists and camera crews besieged Peterson's quiet
suburban cul-de-sac, but the ex-cop seemed to relish in this newfound
limelight. As exhaustive searches for Stacy's body turned up nothing
and suggestive clues led nowhere, questions were raised: about their
unusual marriage, about Stacy's past vocal concerns for her safety, and about Drew Peterson's bizarre public behavior in the wake of Stacy's disappearance.
Then, in February 2008, came a startling development. After a second autopsy, the unusual death of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, was ruled a homicide. Three and a half years earlier, Savio had been found dead in the bathtub of their home, but in light of Stacy's
curious disappearance, Kathleen's body was exhumed and the case was
reopened.
Two of Drew Peterson's four wives, it appeared, had met untimely fates
-- tragic and unexpected but hardly coincidental.
Drawing upon exclusive interviews with Stacy's friends and family and
even Drew himself, Chicago-area reporter Joseph Hosey presents the most researched account of the Stacy Peterson case yet. Still, as the charges against Drew Peterson mount, one haunting question remains: Where on earth is Stacy?
