BOLINGBROOK – Authorities arrested Drew Peterson Thursday near his Bolingbrook home for the murder of his third wife Kathleen Savio, according to police sources.

Police took Peterson into custody at Weber and Lilly Cache roads.

Savio, 40, was found dead in a dry bathtub in her Bolingbrook home in March 2004.

At the time, Illinois State Police failed to find anything suspicious and her death was ruled an accidental drowning by a coroner’s jury.

1. Finally -- I knew it would happen sooner or later

I fear his last wife's body will never be found.

And, all of those fucking fellow cops who covered for his ass need to be arrested, too.

2. An "accidental drowning" in a "dry bathtub" ... and the police

"failed to find anything suspicious" ?

Really?

[bemildred]

It's almost like there is a pattern. nt

[polichick]

3. That's a jury I'd love to be on!

[DebbieCDC]

4. 'bout damn time

[Hassin Bin Sober]

5. I don't know if this sits well with me.

Unless there was some evidence of a cover-up in the first case.

Of course, I think the guy is a scum-bag and he is "probably" guilty - but "probably" is a far cry from beyond a reasonable doubt.

[polichick]

8. There was a cover up by his buddy cops, who didn't want to know the truth...

There was plenty of proof in the first autopsy that she didn't drown ~ no water in her lungs, bruises, etc. (if I remember correctly all these months later).

19. You are aware

that wife#3's body was recently exhumed, aren't you? So, it's not like they have NO evidence. How about letting a jury decide?

[polichick]

24. Jane Valez-Mitchell is covering this tonight - the evidence of bodily harm was...

...found in the first autopsy. (Changed this on edit as the record was corrected on Jane's show.)

Also, the third wife actually sent a letter to the state's attorney saying that Drew was going to kill her ~ and cops were called to the house 18 times!

The new IL law to allow in as evidence the statements of murder victims will be tested in this case.

6. Good , About time! nt

7. So funny!! Not.

“I guess I should have returned those library books,” a hand-cuffed Peterson said Thursday evening as he was being led into state police headquarters.

Sociopathic asshole.

And if he didn't do it, he's still an asshole for making light of her death.

[polichick]

9. imo this guy is a classic sociopath - the trial will be fascinating.

[medeak]

12. omg..that is so sick... sociopath indeed n/t

[JerseygirlCT]

10. Great news. I hope they have enough to put that creep away

for the rest of his days.

[medeak]

11. Nancy Grace must be orgasmic

maybe now she will move off the "tot mom" lol

[jillan]

16. Haha - as must Dan Abrams, whever he is these days.

[Politicalboi]

18. She's moved on to the

Octomom. LOL! I hope this sticks with the scum bag.

[AKing]

No cameras in the courtroom in Illinois puts a damper on that

[imdjh]

13. Well, if everybody thinks he did it, then I'll take the "No, he didn't." side. It's my thing. nt

[panzerfaust]

23. Gee. That is a good reason.

[1776Forever]

14. This may seem like a isolated incident but it really involves what looks like a hush job.

He was an ex-Policeman/Detective and it really looks like someone was helping him out in this. I am so proud of the law enforcement in that city taking him in and trying to find out the real truth!

:patriot:

[DCKit]

22. And conspiracy or obstruction of a murder investigation isn't like a day in traffic court.

Those who covered for this murder need to spend a couple of decades in prison too.

[jillan]

15. Finally!

[applegrove]

17. Thank gosh they finally have the creep off the streets. Last I heard he was going to

marry again. I hope he didn't.

[mitchum]

20. Won't someone have pity for this poor unfortunate man?

His wives keep dying or disappearing on him.
What bad luck.

21. OMFG Mitch You Just Crack Me Up!

:loveya: Hope you are well my amigo.
