Drew Peterson’s Missing Wife
Hall Of Shame – Idiot Judge Award

INSIDE THE CRIME NEWS

DREW PETERSON’S MISSING WIFE

If I tried to leave him, he said he’d kill me.” Those were the words allegedly spoken by 23-year-old missing mother of two, Stacy Peterson, to a friend and neighbor about a threat her 53-year-old husband Drew Peterson made. ... On Oct. 26, Stacy told Drew she wanted a divorce. Two days later she was gone. Her policeman husband suggests that she has left for personal reasons in the past, and that he suspects she has either run off on her own or run away with an unnamed man. No evidence of either scenario has yet been discovered. ... What is it, though, in Sgt. Peterson’s background that would make him any more of a person of interest in his wife’s disappearance than the statistical probability ascribed to any other spouse or partner of a missing person? ... Stacy Peterson told relatives she was afraid of her husband. Sgt. Peterson had allegedly monitored and limited his current wife’s telephone and social contacts, “watching her every move,” even to the extent of allegedly following her as she went to class at a local college. He previously refused to allow her to visit her sister in a nearby community and had allegedly threatened her on more than one occasion.
Excerpted from MSNBC – 13 November 2007

Up to half of all women treated in hospital emergency rooms are there because of violent relationships; one-third of all women murder victims are killed by an intimate partner; and one-quarter to one-half of all women's suicides are linked to relationship violence.

Countless women have ruined their lives by thinking their tender, loving care can mend a disturbed man. You cannot change him, but you can rescue yourself by getting away from him as soon as possible.

Think about it: the cases above likely never would’ve happened if those innocent souls had known what you’ve just learned.

HALL OF SHAME - IDIOT JUDGE AWARD

Convicted killer Amit Livingston walked out of a courtroom in February with the promise to return in April to begin serving a 23-year sentence for killing substitute teacher Hermila Hernandez. Judge Abel Limas granted him 60 days of freedom to get his affairs in order. The day came, and Livingston was nowhere to be found. He has remained on the lam ever since, despite appearing on “America’s Most Wanted” TV show.
