Rule #1 - Do not marry a man named Peterson!

Post by Bob Gutowski »

I was home with a wrenched back yesterday and watched Matt Lauer interview Officer Drew Peterson, now a suspect in the death of his third wife and the disappearance of his fourth wife. This reminded me that Mrs. Michael Peterson, of whom I've written, did not end up so well, apparently beaten to death and left at the bottom of a stairway by her husband. Neither did Mrs. Scott Peterson, she of the infamous Christmas Eve murder.

Ladies, be warned!

That's an astute observation, Bob! I was thinking along similar lines!

Also look out for men with the middle name "Lee!"

But then synchronicity really attacked me when I got my HATCHET late yesterday and saw that the man with the Ellan Eagan tales was named Peterson! Then, at home, I fell into watching FRIGHT NIGHT, one of fave vampire films and, in watching the credits, saw the female lead character was named "Amy Peterson!"

If that's not enough, I had a client with the name Seamus yesterday and, lo and behold, Doug Walters placed a Seamus in his HATCHET story, too!

More Drew Peterson, this time with his attorney, on "Today" this morning. His affect was even more suspect than last time. Like our dear Lizzie, he will NOT be pinned down. I half-expected him to answer one of Matt Lauer's questions (the ones his attorney let him answer) with something like "I believe it was seven years ago, when the river froze and they all went over, was it not?"

The curt reply would have been: "I am not answering questions, but asking them."

That was a mean thing to say, I always thought.

I've always thought the lawyer's remark was uncalled for, too. I could understand it if Lizzie's attitude was condescending and the attorney thought she needed to be put in her place. Unfortunately, the court records are one-dimensional, they lack body language.

You're right, Kat... Also, look out for men with the middle name "Wayne". Even worse, if the first name happens to be John AND middle name Wayne... I recently heard some statistic about the number of well-known violent offenders / murderers with that combo...

Seems also to be a lot of them who use their middle names, period.

Oops---Tina-Kate :oops:

Or is this just because of the media reporting their full names???

You can be afraid of me if you like, my middle name is Lee. To top it off, my youngest son's middle name is Wayne!

That was an FBI Profiler who determined that out of all the serial killers caught so far, a high percentage had the middle name Lee.
Also, the famous Female serial killer Eileen Wournos! She went by the name Lee! :shock:

Tonight's Dr. Phill is on the new Peterson case.
It will repeat next week, possibly on the same day of the week, if you have his show twice a day.

I often wonder what Scott Peterson thinks about when he is sitting in his cell. I wonder if he thinks murdering his wife and child was worth the price he is now paying. Whatever is thoughts are I hope they haunt him until the day he rots!

Did you hear that Drew Peterson is sueing his "missing wife" for divorce. The lawyer representing him supposedly posed nude for Playboy.

He maintains he is innocent and his wife ran off with another man. Yeah, the invisible man...
