EP. 91 ILLINOIS - Drew Peterson (PT 2): ...

Bloody FM
About this episode

Throughout his life, Drew Peterson was known as a womanizer, a fact that would eventually lead to the divorce from his third wife, Kathleen Savio, after his affair with 17-year-old Stacy Cales came to light. During Drew and Kathleen’s tumultuous divorce, and coincidentally right before an important court date, Kathleen was found dead in her bathtub. Initially ruled as an accidental drowning, it wouldn't be until Drew’s fourth wife - the same Stacy Cales he had an affair with - went missing that Kathleen’s death would be ruled a homicide. Follow us on this episode as we talk about Kathleen’s murder, Stacy’s disappearance, and the huge media frenzy surrounding this entire story. This is part two of the story of Drew Peterson, the killer cop of Illinois, and you are listening to Murder in America.
