Drew Peterson Calls Radio Show … Win a Conjugal Visit with Drew Peterson … Hey Drew Don’t Drop the Soap!

Hey Drew … Don’t Ask for Things they just might come true.

Drew Peterson, jailed and charged with the murder of his third wife Kathleen Savio, thinks it’s perfectly okay to make jokes that there should he a “Win a Conjugal Visit with Drew” radio contest. Drew Peterson yucked it up on a local Chicago radio station and offered snippets and inappropriate one liners with shock jock Mancow.

Peterson, who once proposed a “Win a Date With Drew” contest, offered a jail version called “Win a Conjugal Visit with Drew.” He also joked about prison showers, his legal fees and his “bling” handcuffs, saying humor is how he deals with stress.

Drew, you will note in chapter 3 of “How to Act When Accused and Arrested for your Wife’s Murder for Dummies”, it clearly states to never call in a radio show and ask for a “Win a Conjugal Visit” contest to be done.

TMZ has the audio.

“I know we can’t do the date with Drew anymore,” Peterson said. “But I’m thinking what we should do is like, win a conjugal visit with Drew. Let’s do that.”

Prosecutors Claim that Drew Peterson Tried to Hire a Hitman to Kill Third Wife Kathleen Savio

During a court hearing regarding the reduction of Drew Peterson’s $20 million bond, an interesting piece of information was presented by the prosecution. Will County prosecutor claims that Drew Peterson tried to hire a hitman in 2003 to kill his third wife Kathleen Savio.

Drew_peterson_savio

Prosecutors gave a preview of their case today and said Savio’s death was staged to make it look like an accident.

The state also claims Peterson tried to solicit a hit on Savio in 2003, but did not elaborate. Prosecutors indicated they have evidence that would be presented in court.

In addition, the state told the court that Peterson knew fact of the case that only the killer would know.

Prior to his pending divorce from Kathleen Savio, prosecutors claim that Drew Peterson offered someone $25,000 to kill his wife. However, in the end did the act himself. Their theory is, facing “financial ruin”, Peterson attempted to solicit a hitman to kill his wife. It is reported that Drew Peterson told a fellow officer that just a few weeks before Kathleen Savio was found dead in a bathtub that, his life would be easier “if she was just dead.”

Prosecutor James Glasgow said Peterson told a fellow police officer that he would be financially ruined by a pending divorce, and life would be easier if his wife were dead. Three weeks later, Savio’s body was found in her bathtub with a gash on the back of her head, the Will County prosecutor said. Glasgow did not reveal the source of his allegation.

Savio’s death initially was ruled an accidental drowning, but authorities reopened the investigation after Stacy Peterson disappeared. They ruled Savio’s death a homicide after exhuming her body and performing a new autopsy. Peterson was arrested May 7.

Drew Peterson’s attorney Joel Brodsky says talk about his client hiring someone to kill Kathleen Savio was unsubstantiated. You can hear Joel Brodsky LIVE Sunday night at 9 pm ET when he is one of Dana’s guests on Scared Monkey’s radio.

It has been quite a while since Stacy Peterson and Lisa Stebic went missing; however, suddenly there have been breaking events that could bring an end to one of the two cases. 23 year old Stacy Ann Peterson went missing on 10–28–07  in Bolingbrook, IL, while 37 year old Lisa Stebic went missing on 5–01–07 from Plainfield, IL.
 
Could the remains found be that of Stacy Peterson or Lisa Stebic?

Suddenly there was a possible break in the case the other day that could just affect either of the two cases. A badly decomposed body was found of a woman in the DesPlaines River, near Channahan, IL. The significance of this location is that it was a location that had been an area of earlier searches for both Stacy Peterson and Lisa Stebic.

Police discovered the body near the Big Basin Marina, near I55. CSI recovery teams and State Police detectives have set up command on the riverbank and remain there this evening.

Drew Peterson Faces Arraignment Today for Murder of Third Wife Kathleen Savio

Drew Peterson was arrested on May 7, 2009 for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Today, he is scheduled to be formally arraigned on first degree murder charges in the 2004 slaying of Kathleen Savio. Defense attorney Joel Brodsky is expected to try and lower his clients $20 million bond.

Drew_Peterson_Dummie

Maybe Drew did some reading over the weekend and will act accordingly today in court?

Peterson is accused of drowning Savio, who was found dead in a dry bathtub in 2004 with a gash on the back of her head. Her death originally was ruled an accident, but after Stacy Peterson went missing, Savio’s body was exhumed and authorities ruled it a homicide staged to look like an accident.

Wonder what antics we can expect from Drew Peterson today? His last trip to court was quite the media spectacle as the attention seeking Peterson made jokes regarding his shackles and prison provided attire Drew Peterson and his attorney use the excuse when it comes to his behavior, “how am I supposed to act, it’s not like there is a book for this.” Actually Drew, there is … you can read it here.

UPDATE I:

As expected in court this morning, Drew Peterson pleads not guilty to murdering his 4th wife.

Prosecutors filed a motion at the hearing asking for a new judge. State’s Attorney James Glascow didn’t give a reason, and court recessed while another judge was called to handle rest of the hearing.

UPDATE II:

Prosecutors asks for change of judge; hearing set for Thursday

Shortly after Peterson’s case was called before the Will County judge Monday morning, prosecutors asked for a change of judge, which was followed by an immediate call for recess. The matter was set for a hearing on Thursday.
