Peterson has never been charged in connection to Stacy's presumed death, because her body hasn't been found, but USA Today reported that he has been considered a person of interest.

As far as Savio's murder, there was no physical evidence linking Peterson to Savio's death, but prosecutors used witness testimony to establish that Savio and Stacy were fearful of their husband. Per USA Today , several witnesses testified that Savio was in the process of getting a divorce when she died, and was openly fearful that Peterson would kill her. Per USA Today , Peterson tried to appeal his conviction in under the grounds that the witness testimony was hearsay, but he was denied.
Eerily enough, Christine disappeared in March , when Stacy was According to reports, she left her house with her purse and her Bible, possibly on her way to church or to a friend's house, and was never seen again.
Peterson would later claim that Stacy was following in her mother's footsteps, taking off without saying a word. Her mother disappeared. She knew how that felt. She would never do that to her children. Within weeks of meeting the teen in , Peterson helped Stacy get a new job as a clerk for the village of Bolingbrook and basically installed her in the basement of his family's home, unbeknownst to Kathleen and their two sons, Kristopher and Thomas. Per Hosey, Stacy later insisted to friend and next-door neighbor Sharon Bychowski that Drew had assured her his marriage was for all intents and purposes over by the time she started seeing him.
An anonymous note eventually tipped Kathleen off to her husband's affair, the messenger—presumed to be someone who worked with her husband—letting her know that Drew's behavior had become "an ongoing joke within the department. She filed for divorce and the split was finalized in October , but animosity lingered. Kathleen didn't want to let the proceedings go without the assets she felt was owed her after their year marriage, which to her ended in a most humiliating fashion.
Drew wasted no time remarrying, tying the knot with Stacy on Oct. Daughter Lacy named after Stacy's little sister who died in infancy was born in Kathleen's sister, Anna Marie Doman , told Hosey that she predicted Drew's fourth marriage wouldn't last, either, because when Stacy "hits 21 and sees there's a whole world out there, the s--t's going to hit the fan, which is pretty much what happened.
Drew and Stacy's marriage was alternately happy or frequently rocky, depending on whose side of the family was talking about it. After Lacy was born, Stacy underwent a tummy tuck, a breast enhancement and Lasik, so-called gifts from her husband.
Bychowski remarked to Hosey, "After all that money he invested in her, at what point did she just become expendable bulls--t? But in , Stacy's older sister Tina died of cancer, and not long afterward friends and family got the impression that she wanted to leave Drew and take all four kids with her—Anthony and Lacy, as well as Tom and Kris, whom Stacy had grown close to especially after they moved in fulltime when their mother died.
According to Aikin, Stacy once told her sister Cassandra, "If I don't answer my cell, something's wrong. Toward the end of November , a then-unidentified relative of Peterson's told a friend—who then called police, after which they interviewed the relative—that he had helped Drew carry a 4-foot-long plastic blue barrel that was warm to the touch and seemed to weigh pounds out of Drew and Stacy's bedroom and load it into Drew's SUV, after which Drew drove the relative home.
The next day, the man was hospitalized following an apparent suicide, having overdosed on pills washed down with alcohol. After the Tribune reported on that development, family spokeswoman Pam Bosco said the volunteers who'd been on the lookout for Stacy would start searching for that container. Peterson denied the whole story, his lawyer telling the paper that the relative had "serious psychological issues.
All the circumstances point to it. He said that Peterson had told him Stacy was cheating and something needed to be done, and asked if Morphey loved him enough to kill for him. When Morphey demurred, Peterson asked if he would rent a storage locker for him instead. He didn't have his ID on him, so he didn't, Morphey said.
But, he added, he thought Peterson was talking about killing the other guy. In response to Morphey's story, Peterson's attorney Joel Brodsky told reporters, "If [prosecutors] found him credible, he would have been one of the first witnesses they would have brought in and they would have based the entire investigation and the entire case on his testimony. A grand jury investigation was convened, but Peterson has never been arrested or charged in connection with Stacy's disappearance.
However, Kathleen's death had officially been reclassified as a homicide following the release of the official autopsy findings in February While both investigations were ongoing, year-old Christina Raines , a mother of two, moved in with Peterson.
His camp claimed in December that they were engaged, but the following month Raines told CBS News that was never the case, that she let him say that for publicity, so he "could be in the media. That being said, they did date, and she did believe him initially when he told her he had nothing to do with Stacy's disappearance, Raines explained on Court TV's In Session.
