********************************************
On Saturday, the first of October, people will gather all over the country for the beginning of National Domestic Awareness Month. For the third year the Guardian Angels Community Service agency’s domestic violence program, Groundwork, has organized a 5k walk to honor the victims of violence, bring awareness to the community, and to raise funds for their programs.
Team Missing Stacy Peterson will be walking again this year to remind the Chicago area and the nation that the lives of those in violent situations matter. The team hopes to be the voice for a woman who has been silenced, and to show their commitment to all victims by helping the Groundwork program keep their services available. One of the goals of Team Missing Stacy Peterson is to refocus attention onto the victims of intimate partner violence and missing persons and away from the perpetrators who garner the majority of media attention.
Stacy Peterson is the missing fourth wife of former Bolingbrook Sergeant, Drew Peterson, who is currently charged with the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. According to Stacy’s sister, Cassandra Cales, “Every time we turn around there’s Drew’s picture in the news again. The media has given him enough attention. Let’s bring it back where it belongs. Let’s get Stacy’s picture back out in the press, after all, she is still missing!”
Stacy Peterson disappeared from her home October 28, 2007, under suspicious circumstances.
The walk teams will meet at 8 am at Hammel Woods, Crumby Recreation Area, Black Road, Shorewood, IL. Opening remarks will be given by Will County State’s Attorney James W. Glasgow and The Honorable Judge Marilee Viola. The walk will begin at 9:15 am.
For information on how to join Team Missing Stacy Peterson or to donate, please vist the Guardian Angel’s Groundwork Events page.

I’ve posted about the walk a couple of times prior to the post above, but at the time I commented there was no team Missing Stacy Peterson, so I recommended joining or donating to the State’s Attorney’s team. Either way, you’ll be contributing to a great cause!
There are a couple of photos from last year’s 5k walk here:

Off topic but…I just saw the web site that Josh/Steven Powell made claiming it to be the “official” web site for information about Susan Powell. It’s the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen, and I thought I’d seen a lot of strange behavior from Drew Peterson and Joel Brodsky.
I found it after reading that they had been barred from posting excerpts from Susan Powell’s teenage journals. Susan’s father-in-law, Steven, has been claiming to the press that he had a consensual flirtatious/sexual relationship with Susan and believed that they were in love (Wha?!) but the kicker is that today he was arrested for possessing child pornography after about ten years worth of video was discovered in his home. Susan and her children appear in some of the videos, most of it peeper type footage of neighbors and relatives on the toilet, etc. Susan’s kids have been removed from the home that her husband and father-in-law shared.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/24/steven-powell-not-guilty-plea_n_979031.html
Oh heavens, the Powell case is really getting sick and weird. Her husband and father-in-law have done everything they can possibly do to trash the woman’s reputation, without her being here to defend herself, and now the father-in-law has been arrested for child pornography. Unfortunately, it’s not hard to imagine what her fate was at the hands of these two monsters. At least the young boys are safe for now, away from these two. Hope LE can determine what happened to her once and for all.
Speaking of outrageous behavior on the part of a person-of-interest, Fox news reminds us of the day Drew Peterson walked out of an interview with Shepard Smith. Who can forget the Drew’s mocking smirk suddenly switched off when Smith changed the direction of the conversation from Drew and Joel’s horrendous participation in a “Date with Drew” radio contest, to how his children were dealing with the fact that their mom was missing and the rumor that Drew had been seen with an accomplice moving a blue container from his house.
15 Classic Fox News Channel Moments: Drew Peterson Walks Out on Interview With Shepard Smith
That Shepard Smith interview with Peterson was all about Peterson controlling it and calling the shots. When that didn’t happen and when Shepard Smith wasn’t the pushover that Peterson wanted him to be, it fizzled.
Isn’t that what’s happening now with the missing Susan Powell, her husband and father-in-law trying to steer the outgoing information in the direction they want it to go?
The dirtier these monsters are, the more slanted the interviews become.
Steve Peterson’s hearing was scheduled for today in DuPage Circuit Court regarding his termination from the Oak Brook P.D.
Whew, what a time he has had in these almost four years. He was married just prior to Stacy’s disappearance. He’s been before the Grand Jury over his father’s wives problems; he took a lot of heat for taking in his father’s guns during the initial days of Stacy’s disappearance; he’s had a child; he’s divorced; he’s back in his father’s house watching over his father’s minor children; and he’s been terminated from his job as an Oak Brook police officer. Can’t get more complicated than that for being one of the children of Drew Peterson.
Whatever way the court rules, hopefully, it’ll be fair and just for everyone involved.
Here’s the appeal filed back in March, if anyone wants to re-read.
In the original complaint Commissioner Frederick Cappetta stated that, “Officer Peterson’s continuing claim that the weapons and money (given to him by Drew Peterson during the investigation into Stacy Peterson’s disappearance) were irrelevant to the investigation by the Illinois State Police were self-serving, disingenuous, not credible and demonstrates that Officer Peterson lacks the fundamental ability to make sound judgements.”
Here’s the meat of the complaint:
Nothing accomplished today. The matter has been continued.
Thanks, Rescue.
Next court date is set for this coming Monday, October 3rd.
Proceeding is described as “JUDICIAL REVIEW OF A DECISION OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCY OTHER THAN A TAX COMMISSION “
This is off topic, but it relates to former Peterson attorney, John Paul Carroll. Carroll is currently being investigated by the ARDC for an incident involving some of his prior clients. Maybe the times are a’changing and juries will make it more and more difficult for defense attorneys to muck up the truth with their wild and insane arguments. I hope so.
Anyway, he defended an accused cop murderer, which has been in the news. He defended Shawn Gaston, who was handed off to Carroll by Joel Brodsky. I assume that because in the days following his arrest, Brodsky was Gaston’s attorney of record, making statements on his behalf in the media.
What is so disturbing to me is that this attorney, even though there’s a video recording of his client admitting to the shooting, used b.s. to rile up the jury:
This is the “truth”:
The jury convicted him in spite of his lawyer’s “truth.” They didn’t feel confident he knew he was shooting at an officer, Since P.O. Valadez was not in uniform, but they certainly didn’t believe he was a Chicago, Englewood, good kid victim of a police conspiracy. They found him guilty of first degree murder and attempted murder.
So, even though this garbage was videotaped confessing to his actions, he still was “a victim of a conspiracy” as the defense would have it. Hmmm. The jury got it right.
http://shorewood-il.patch.com/articles/did-drew-peterson-kid-get-dirty-deal-from-oak-brook-police-chief
Damn, all I do is co-admin this blog, and Brodsky threatened to bankrupt me. At least he didn’t have Kris, his troll, post the air hose and testicles stuff, if that was going to be in my future. 🙂
These lawyers sure do get off on this threatening and suing stuff don’t they?
Now see, who is telling the truth here? It helps to get some score cards to keep track of the muck.
http://edit.dailyherald.com/article/20100907/news/309079954/
Now that’s funny. Stephen hires a lawyer to look into a civil suit against Sheahan for supposedly making these comments, similar to the ones Brodsky’s troll posted on a blog hurled against me by Brodsky. Hell, should I have hired a civil attorney for the same kind of threats leveled at me? Hahahahaha.
They’re all a bunch of clowns.
Those are some pretty strong words from Sheahan, if in fact he said them. That noted, it was no secret that Sheahan wanted Peterson off the force. If you thought you had a dishonest, law-obstructing officer on the force wouldn’t any Chief want his ass gone?
Whatever Sheahan personally felt about Stephen Peterson, the decision to fire Peterson was made by the board of commissioners based on the facts which were pretty indisputable. The guy obstructed the investigation of his step-mother’s disappearance. He took money from and hid guns for a person-of-interest in the case.
As for the interviews allegedly carried out but undocumented by those two lieutenants, I guess I don’t understand what the impact would have been on the case? All that I gather is that Peterson was cooperative. Does cooperating with investigators earn you an instant acquittal? Did Stephen make any statements that would have cleared him from the charges and were they different from what he testified to in court?
If Sheahan truly caused witness testimony to be kept out of the proceedings then that is pretty bad and I agree it should be looked into. But from what I’ve seen there’s nothing that could exonerate Stephen from what he did.
As for Stephen’s marriage breaking up, heavens, that happens all the time and it doesn’t take allegations of wrong-doing at work to do it.
Sometimes people cheat.
Yeppers, sometimes people marry, I guess, and still carry on sexual relationships with others.
In the case of Steve Peterson, I don’t imagine what Sheahan said would carry much weight here, since the defense in the Peterson mess has reminded all of us repeatedly that what one says in anger against another is just not reliable, heh? However, in Kathleen’s case, she said Drew was going to kill her and she’s dead. Dead. And he sure as hell looks mighty suspicious as a result of that.
Sheahan also said he likes young officer Peterson. Said he was a good cop, no? So, doesn’t one cancel out the other?
In spite of it all, if there’s something sitting in a basement box somewhere that exculpates Steve Peterson from any wrong doing, or goes a long way to help prove he didn’t deserve to lose his job for taking in guns from his father in the midst of the disappearance of his stepmother, or there’s sufficient evidence that Sheahan deliberately scammed everyone in order to cause this mess, then his honor will surely set it all straight now, won’t he?
http://shorewood-il.patch.com/articles/stacy-petersons-stepdaughter-in-law-ripped-on-missing-mothers-parenting-skills
Well, well. I wonder what Tom and Kris think about their big brother appearing to insinuate to the cops that, after their mom’s death, they got over it quite quickly.
I have no doubt that Anthony and Lacy got over Drew’s arrest and absence from the house as quickly themselves. In fact, I’m sure they’re doing very well . If that sounds aloof, it’s meant to. It sounds insensitive, just as Steve’s comment to the police.
What a stupid, immature, cold and arrogant thing to have related about their demeanor after those two young boys just lost their mom. He’s as big a jerk as his father ever will be. It makes Eric look more and more like the only man in that family.
Teresa’s comments about Stacy being immature are one thing, but not a very good mother? Hmm, that holds a lot of weight and goes far. Not. Stacy’s stud muffin husband must not have thought so, since not only did he have two biological children with her, he allowed her to become the adoptive mother of his two boys with Kathleen. In fact, he publicly acknowledged that Stacy was a very good mother, and picture after picture showed how loving she was with her kids
If Teresa relied on her maturity in her choice of a husband/father, she should have stuck to predicting her future by putting batteries in her crystal ball instead. She may have fared much better.
Yeah, most of us realize the implications of this statement.
It’s hard to know what motivated Teresa Peterson to comment negatively about Stacy immediately after her disappearance. No doubt the turn of events was stressful and who knows whether or not she was pressured by her husband and father-in-law to shine a negative light on the missing woman. After all, her security was at risk if it turned out that her new husband was found to be connected to a murder.
On the other hand, maybe she honestly thought that Stacy wasn’t a very good mom. As a newly wed young woman looking forward to starting a family of her own, perhaps she was just being critical of the parenting of other women in the way that childless people have the luxury of doing.
Either way…water under the bridge. A lot has happened since November 2007 and soon Stacy will have been missing four years. Unkind words can be forgiven and even forgotten.
But what happened to Stacy? Where is she?
Stephen’s comment about the boys crying a little and then laughing later is harder to take.
What bothers me is that it could be accurate. That Drew could have created such a climate of animosity in his household towards Kathleen, that her children only cried “a little” that Steven was aware of. Children have an uncanny gift for acting in ways that will please the adults around them. It’s self-preservation.
I have to wonder how much more they cried alone, out of view of a bunch of adults who at best simply didn’t share their grief, and at worst had brought about the situation and saw it as beneficial.
An interesting case that ended in conviction. It was largely circumstantial, involved hearsay statements “from the grave”, and Michael Baden also testified.

http://www.kmov.com/news/coleman-trial/Deliberations-underway-in-Chris-Coleman-murder-trial-121325749.html
Oh, wow, I remember when those murders happened. Greta Van Susteren covered that story, I think. I remember hearing that the murderer broke into the house, but the circumstances of the husband’s love affair came out soon after. It didn’t take long for the police to put it all together.
So sad for the mom and her boys.
Another story to remind you to consider contributing to your local women’s shelter during Domestic Violence Awareness month.

STEPHEN PETERSON -VS- VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK ILLINOIS

The Baby Lisa Irwin disappearance is just heartbreaking. Seeing pictures of that beautiful child is hard to handle. No circumstance of her disappearance is “good,” but I guess the best to hope for is that she was kidnapped, not harmed, and will be recognized by someone and found by authorities.
Susan Powell’s disappearance was in the news recently, after her husband’s father was arrested on child pornography charges, and her husband temporarily lost custody of their boys. Nothing’s been published of late about what clues the charred pieces of wood found at a shallow grave site might give. That site was alerted to by cadaver dogs. I guess it is possible that her remains were burned, as in the NIU student’s case, Antinette Keller, where there’s nothing left to identify.
Locally, Stacy Peterson’s untimely disappearance is nearing four years. Lisa Stebic went missing over four years ago. What in the world happened to these women, who disappeared into thin air and were never heard from again?
The only way to help determine what happened to these poor souls is to keep them in the forefront, and keep reminding those who will listen that someone knows something that can and should solve the mysteries.

Looks like Le Brodsque has a new client – a 17-year old charged with helping to murder a friend’s parents. As usual, he’s happy to supply a quote to the press, even when his client is a minor.

Yikes, can you imagine trusting your child’s future to someone like Brodsky, who, if the past is any indication, will use it to get as much camera time as possible? Maybe he could try to arrange a radio dating contest with the young man, or a boxing match with Geraldo Rivera. The marketing opportunities are ripe! 😦
I was reading about three more teens being arrested for the murder of this couple just a day or two ago.
http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2011/10/11/general-us-illinois-teens-parents-killed_8727825.html
Absolutely, these four individuals need big, high media craving attorneys to protect them from “very big policemen with guns.” Someone with name recognition, someone who knows how to make the rounds on tv and radio. Looks like this Salahat got his man…

Here’s a youtube video of the press conference that was described as “sensationalized” if anyone wants to judge for themselves.
Since there was a warrant issued by a judge it will be hard to show that Dorain was falsely arrested, unless his attys can show that the evidence shown to the judge was fabricated.
I remember Dorian’s family, friends and coworkers rallying around him with signs and t-shirts of support. From the moment of his arrest, it seems no one could believe that this guy was capable of such awful crimes and they were quick to speak out on his behalf (compare to the Peterson case. His friends and family couldn’t jump ship fast enough knowing that he was a rat who could very well have killed two wives). Thankfully Dorian only had to spend four days in jail.
At least the actual killer (Gary Amaya) was soon afterwards shot and killed by that customer at a tanning salon he attempted to rob. If it weren’t for that hero, Jason McDaniel, there could have been two more victims.
FYI, comments made a year ago by Peterson’s defense as to how they could use the erroneous identification and charges to help Drew.
https://petersonstory.wordpress.com/2010/10/04/drew-peterson-judge-stephen-white-retires/#comment-65191
Also, interesting timing on the part of Dorian. Isn’t Glasgow up for re-election in November?
Facs, I think the election is in March.
I will never understand what the logic is of people who, in their opposition of SA James Glasgow, would hope that an individual would win a multimillion dollar lawsuit at the expense of the County, and in the end, its taxpayers. Is their hatred that deeply seated that they spew their disdain just to jam it to him? He was elected to office. Vote him out if need be, but this vindictive bs is mind boggling.
Kathleen Savio wrote to and asked the then SA’s office to help her fight off her fears of being murdered at the hands of her ex-husband. It fell on deaf ears. Kathleen Savio was found dead under mysterious circumstances, yet her ex-husband wasn’t properly questioned, the scene itself was so tainted and trampled, no evidence was or could be gleaned from it. Even the lead detective admitted to doing a poor job of handling the investigation from the beginning, as he testified during the hearsay hearing. Jeff Tomczak was the SA at the time.
Kevin Fox was arrested, interrogated and jailed on charges that he murdered his young daughter, to the point that he was so worn down, he confessed. Evidence was in the hands of LE all along, but was never used to exculpate him or go after the actual killer. Jeff Tomczak was the SA. He was nearing a crucial election, and brought charges against Kevin Fox. We’ve all heard about this case, how Kevin Fox was later exonerated and released under the direction of James Glasgow, and how he and his wife were awarded millions of dollars for his false arrest and detention. There were many reasons why Kevin Fox should have been released a lot sooner than he was, and that evidence wasn’t even processed to clear him. Can’t blame Glasgow for that nuclear meltdown.
Now there’s Dorian, who, while being arrested and later released when evidence uncovered within days indicatedthat he could not have been the killer, has dreams of winning millions of dollars because, among other things, he was embarrassed by the face time he got in the news media. Claims his situation was sensationalized by the SA’s office. I don’t see the comparison between him and Kevin Fox, but if it makes Glasgow’s detractor’s warm and fuzzy to imagine Dorian being awarded millions for being wrongly arrested and later released, whatever. I guess certain Will County residents, or maybe even some outside of Will County, get all giddy with glee thinking that millions of dollars will be dished out to an individual, with a hefty amount going into the pockets of his attorneys, and it’s all because of an elected county official. Dorian gives a rat’s ass what happens to them, but they sure bust their butts spewing their hate for Glasgow and wishing Dorian success in being awarded millions by a jury. Same for Drew Peterson. I’ve seen comments on various boards saying he’s going to be a millionaire too someday because he’s being screwed by Glasgow. Imagine, wishing for a guy who has a shady and dark past when it comes to his wives become a millionaire because they don’t like the current SA or the way he runs his office. Never mind that their votes can take care of that. Nope.
It is interesting to compare the Kevin Fox case with that of Dorian. I’m not sure we have all the facts of Dorian’s arrest but at this point it would seem that Fox had a much stronger case against the County. A torturous interrogation, a forced confession, 8 months in jail, a delay in processing DNA evidence, a pair of shoes with the initials of the actual killer written on them, but ignored. Dorian sat in jail for all of 4 days and was released with a very public apology as soon as investigators found something that exonerated him.
Surely, the Fox family deserved the $8.5 million they were awarded in the civil suit. It was abundantly clear that the investigation had been bungled and that Fox had been treated badly. That said, I do feel bad for the citizens of Will County who had to pay the retribution. I’d hate to think that because of the Fox case, every person who is arrested and then exonerated now thinks that they deserve some sort of pay out from the taxpayers of Will County. (Actually I looked this up and according to reports, Will County’s insurance covered up to $9 million of the original $15 million award, which was later reduced to 8.5.)
The Fox situation was a particularly tragic and spectacular failure of the justice system. In my opinion, the Dorian arrest just doesn’t compare. Like I said, maybe there’s more to his case than we presently know. If there was falsified evidence, I guess he’ll have to prove that in court.
Today is Susan Powell’s 30th birthday. All that can be said is that, hopefully, soon the circumstances of her disappearance will be uncovered so her family will know what happened to her.
I just came across another website by Susan’s FIL, Steven Powell. Here he presents himself as “Steve Chantrey”. Knowing that he was obsessed with Susan for years and believed he was in love with her, the songs take on a particularly creepy feel.

http://www.freep.com/article/20111017/NEWS07/111017012/Mom-admits-she-drunk-when-Baby-Lisa-vanished?odyssey=tab%7Ctopnews%7Ctext%7CFRONTPAGE
Hmm. Maybe this moron of a mother doesn’t really know what happened to her baby, but after spending the morning making the rounds on tv and giving interviews, including People Magazine, her attorney gives a sappy news conference defending her and her boyfriend. Tacopina says he has five children of his own, and he’d never represent them if he thought they were guilty of harming Baby Lisa. This after doing research and talking to them extensively; yet, she blabbed without him all over the air and in print. He stood at that press conference and spent most of the time defending himself for taking on their case.
Anyway, he got off Van Der Sloot in the Natalie Holloway disappearance, and look how that worked out.
http://nancygrace.blogs.cnn.com/2011/10/17/police-conduct-new-searches-for-missing-baby-lisa/?hpt=ng_mid
I am not going to judge this woman based on her drinking wine to the point of being drunk. I do not live her life or walk in her shoes. I’ve had friends over for drinks in the evening. We’ve sat on the patio and chatted the night away, time flies by. Everyone does things that in hindsight they might consider to have been stupid, but nothing bad happened so there is no guilt. It is my hope this baby was taken by someone who just thought they needed a child and is treating the child as their own.
Oh, I agree Charmed. My problem with her is that she apparently wasn’t upfront with the cops all along. Maybe it would have helped bring Baby Lisa home sooner. She also has two other boys that were in the house, and from what I understand, they’re not letting the police speak with them. There’s a few inconsistencies. Also, she is on anti-anxiety medication, so that is why she admitted she may have blacked out. The combination of the two was not a good mix.
I, too, hope that someone snatched the baby, thinking it was an opportunistic time, and she’s alive and will be found.
I don’t know what to believe in this case. I want to believe the parents and in lots of ways they are believable. It’s really rare, but sometimes babies are stolen away because someone wants a baby.
On the other hand, I hold it against the mom that she wasn’t completely forthcoming about drinking that night and that she lied about the last time she checked on her daughter. By lying that she had seen her in her crib at 10:30 when she actually had last seen her at 6:40 it was disadvantageous to the investigators who are working to find her baby. Mom claims that finding Lisa is her main concern, but lying about the facts casts doubt on that statement.
I too, wish that the parents would allow the other two children to be questioned again, although I’m sure that it would be against the advice of their counsel. Who knows what a small child might imagine or say out of fear. If I were in their position, I might not allow it either.
I hope that for the sake of mom, dad, and baby that mom simply made some bad choices out of fear of looking like a bad mom (selfish as it was), and that in the end, little Lisa is recovered alive.
The alternative is a terrible thing to think about.
You know, I just saw this mom doing an interview, in which she was asked what the other children, the boys, heard the night the baby went missing. She said “they heard something” the night of Lisa’s disappearance but that in 2 weeks, Deborah has “not sat down” and asked them what they heard.
She has “not sat down” and asked them what they heard??? Are you kidding me? Her baby girl vanished into thin air, and she hasn’t asked, or allowed LE to ask, those boys what they may or may not know? OMG, this woman is amazing. I only hope that this baby was stolen, which means she’s alive, and not this woman’s doing, either accidentally or on purpose. Most mothers would walk on their knees to hell if it meant helping find their child; admitting to not asking her other children, who were also in the house, what they heard just doesn’t sit right, does it?
I can see her fears. I cannot say how I would react. I’m a little more reserve, I probably would have hesitated calling the police and that would set people on edge. My daughter went missing in SAM’s club. I didn’t tell an associate immediately, I searched. An associate approached me and asked if I needed help. My son went missing from our home, again didn’t call the cops. The neighbors and I searched, called friends. He was hiding in a closet and fell asleep. Two hours later he appeared. I agree that the whole story is missing some elements. I know that in cases like these the parents end up being responsible, but there are cases where someone else is involved. I don’t want them to focus on the family and stop looking for that baby. I do sometimes worry that the media puts out too much information. Like with Stacey, I wish they would focus on the fact that she missing and less on Drew’s antics. I don’t think the public needed to know that the mother was drunk, but I do think the police do. Don’t stop looking until you have that baby is found…whatever the outcome.
I’m at the point that, everyday now, I scour the news to see if the baby has been found, hoping that she was snatched and the person or people responsible caught. It’s the only way to think, after seeing pictures and videos of such a beautiful, happy baby. Thinking the mom has something to do with this is not far fetched, since the past days’ events seem to make her look suspicious for a number of reasons. It almost seems as though her bit-by-bit admissions of blacking out and not remembering things is leading up to a “defense” of some kind.
Maybe it’s a defense of how someone could have come in and taken Lisa without her having the slightest clue that this was happening because of her condition, IDK. Although, it’s very hard to believe that an intruder would sneak into the house via a window, turn on lights, take the baby and three cell phones, and leave with the lights blaring, possibly disturbing and waking two young boys who could have seen this. How strange that sounds.
I read that police are searching the house again today. They have been allowed in to search on a voluntary basis prior to this, but this is the first time they are searching under a warrant. That means that there is some new information in the case (it could just be mom’s new public statements. Don’t know)
