Drew Peterson and Stacy Peterson

Drew Peterson, the Bolingbrook police sergeant whose fourth wife — Stacy Peterson — went missing after sending an email for prayers for protection to a friend and whose third wife — Kathleen Savio — was found dead in a waterless bathtub has been named a suspect in Stacy Peterson’s disappearance by the Illinois State Police, reports the Chicago Sun Times.

“Right now, Drew Peterson has gone from a person of interest to clearly being a suspect,” State Police Capt. Carl Dobrich said during a news conference that marked a dramatic shift in two cases involving the suburban cop.

The announcement came hours after a Will County judge ordered the body of Peterson’s third wife, Kathleen Savio, exhumed so investigators can re-examine her mysterious 2004 bathtub death, which prosecutors said now appears to be a murder, not an accident.

The news that Drew Peterson was named a suspect in Stacy Peterson’s disappearance came after a transcript was released from the coroner’s inquest into Kathleen Savio’s death.

Kathleen Savio had told family “that if she would die, it may look like an accident, but it wasn’t,” Susan Savio said in a newly released transcript from a coroner’s inquest into the death of Kathleen Savio, Peterson’s third wife, who died in 2004 after they divorced.
