Police Search Officer's Home After Wife Goes Missing

Police in Bolingbrook, Illinois searched the home of a police sergeant whose wife disappeared without a trace Sunday, reports the Chicago Tribune.

Authorities on Thursday afternoon were searching the home of a Bolingbrook police sergeant whose wife has been missing since Sunday.

At around 3 p.m., investigators arrived at the home of Drew Peterson, 53, on Pheasant Chase Court, armed with a search warrant that was obtained on Wednesday, said Charles Pelkie, spokesman for the Will County state's attorney's office. Peterson's wife, Stacy, 23, has not been seen since Sunday morning.

The Chicago Tribune also reports that Stacy Peterson's last call was to say she was leaving Drew Peterson. The Bolingbrook police sergeant says that Stacy Peterson is safe.

"I believe she's with someone else, but I believe she's safe."

Stacy Peterson's family says she wouldn't have left without taking her children.

Drew Peterson told the Chicago Sun-Times:

Drew Peterson believes his missing wife left voluntarily -- even taking extra clothes with her -- and isn't a victim of foul play, the Bolingbrook police sergeant said Wednesday, breaking his silence on the puzzling disappearance of Stacy Peterson.

"I believe she's not missing. She's where she wants to be," he said. "I have no reason to suspect foul play."
