Who in her right mind would stay at Drew Petersonīs house after knowing him for only three weeks? Especially since he is the only clear suspect in two murders.
Ok, besides OJ Simpsonīs girlfriends.
Is there an age requirement or an IQ requirement to become a member of the Drew Peterson Fan Club? The 22 year old woman Peterson so gallantly rescued, and gave a ride home at 2 a.m. seems to be lacking in both. Certainly she must be an orphan, for what parents would let their 22 year old daughter anywhere near Drew Peterson at this point, guilty or not? And as for smarts? Sorry, she must not score highly in that category either. Perhaps the UV rays from the tanning beds at work clouded the judgement part of her brain.
Her response to questioning? "Heīs just a nice guy Iīm not going to judge anyone." His wives at some point, too, thought he was a nice guy. They married him. Two lived to regret it. Two were not so fortunate. This young lady is a hands-down candidate for the 2008 Darwin Awards.
It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that a 22 year old woman on the phone with Drew Peterson at 2 a.m. might be a bit immature. Could she be a Pollyanna, too soft to realize the harshness of the real world? Or does she truly think, as we all did at some time in our lives, that she can "change" something, someone if just given the chance? Most likely she does not see she can quickly become a disposable pawn in this game; and, she is too young or too moronic to realize this game could turn into a nasty Russian Roulette, with only one exit strategy.
That aside, what about Drew? Attorney Joel (What-have-I-done) Brodsky is busy peddling the image of the persecuted-yet-doting father, now helping a damsel in distress. That dog wonīt hunt. How does a father of four have time to be on the phone at 2 a.m. chatting up some chippy? Well, perhaps that is because he is once again practicing his licentious modus operandi. Apparently, he is out at least two nights a week until all hours, leaving the children home in care of each other.
Whatīs wrong with this picture?
First of all, the obvious: Drew Petersonīs wife, Stacy, is missing. He does not look for her. He swears she ran off, so now he feels he is free to gallivant around town looking for his next mistress/victim. He has never been vested in the search for Stacy so, of course, why start now?
Second, he leaves the younger children in the care of the older boys, something Stacyīs friends said she would not consider doing. After Kathleen Savioīs death, the boys understandably suffered through huge psychological turmoil, leaving them angry, hurt and confused. The younger of the two teens reportedly had too much anger for Stacy to trust, and she would not allow him to watch his two younger siblings alone. She did not feel it was a safe situation, and she worked with him tirelessly to bring him out of the shell he built after the death of his mother. Though apparently her methods were working, she was cautious in her decisions.
Third, the way the Peterson home is reportedly structured, the younger children sleep upstairs and the older ones are down in the basement on the opposite side of the house. Not an ideal arrangement by any means. How can a teenage boy be expected to be responsible enough to listen for the younger ones in need? Considering the ages of the children, this is a recipe for disaster. Child protective services, are you reading this?
While Drew is out catting around, he repeatedly risks his already traumatized children. Havenīt they had enough? Hasnīt Bolingbrook had enough?
Law enforcement and the grand jury want to get this right: they are being very careful so they can indict Peterson for the murder of Kathleen Savio and the probable murder of Stacy Peterson. The evidence is there, even though a star witness for the prosecution, Stacy, is missing. Stacy allegedly stated to friends that she was often taken to the basement of the house Drew and Kathleen shared when she was first involved with Drew. She also revealed that Drew was missing from their bed the night Kathleen was murdered and she found him, dressed in black, stuffing his clothes and some womenīs clothes into the washer. After Kathleen died he became even more controlling, using physical violence to subdue all 100 pounds of her. She even pointed out the dent in the television to her neighbor, Sharon Bychowski in one of their first encounters, saying that was where Drew threw her against it while enraged. Lots of motives there. The grand jury is getting more information each day with each testimony, illuminating the ugly picture taking shape and defining Peterson as the unsavory character he has tried to shield for so long.
Time will bring forth the truth, and the now seemingly Weary Drew indicates he is ready to roll with the punches. How magnanimous of him. However, time may not move quickly enough to prevent more damage to the children caused by Drewīs inept parenting or the dire misconduct perpetrated against another unwitting young woman.
For the sake of all the bubble-headed 20-somethings who should have anything better to do than talk to a ridiculously schlumpy, 54 year old murder suspect, letīs hope the grand jury makes some moves soon. Otherwise, a young womanīs 15 minutes of fame and misguided sense of fairness could become her epitaph. Just how many more missing women can Will County afford to have?
A skunk canīt change its scent.
