Stacy Peterson Allegedly Told Neighbor that Scott Peterson Would Kill Her
Drew Peterson is about to stand trial for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. A hearing to determine whether hearsay evidence will be allowed at trial included testimony from a few associates of Drew Peterson’s fourth wife, Stacy. Drew Peterson is a suspect in Stacy Peterson’s disappearance, but has not been charged with a crime in relation to it.
At the hearing, a neighbor of Drew and Stacy Peterson, Sharon Bychowski, reported that Ms. Peterson had told her that she feared for her life after asking Peterson for a divorce. She reportedly told Ms. Bychowski that “if I disappear, Sharon, it’s not an accident. He killed me.” Ms. Peterson allegedly made the comments less than a week before she disappeared in October of 2007. Ms. Bychowski reports that she urged Ms. Peterson to put her fears in writing, in case anything happened to her, but Ms. Peterson replied, “it doesn’t matter, I’m already dead. He’s going to kill me.”
Peterson has always maintained that Ms. Peterson took $25,000 and ran off to Jamaica with another man. Ms. Peterson has not been heard from since her disappearance and her body has never been found.
