Drew Peterson's Latest Ex Brought To Court
Peterson To Media: 'You Guys Ruined It For Me Again'
BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (Sun-Times Media Wire) ―
Drew Peterson's young love was hauled before the grand jury Thursday, and that was just the kind of thing that screwed up the affair.
"You guys ruined it for me, again," Peterson, 54, said of his romance with 22-year-old tanning salon worker Kim Matuska.
"It's too much for her," said Peterson, whose wife, Stacy, has been missing since October when she was 24. "You got producers trying to get her on television shows, the state police, grand juries. It's too much."
So much, Peterson said, that he has become rather pessimistic about his prospects with the fairer sex.
Adding to his troubles, Peterson faces a felony gun charge for possessing an assault rifle with a barrel allegedly shorter than the state-mandated length. Peterson maintains he had permission from the police department to use the weapon while working with the SWAT team, and his lawyer says a picture of Peterson with movie star John Travolta proves it.
Peterson also has been named a suspect -- the only suspect -- in the disappearance of fourth wife Stacy, an investigation state police have classified a "potential homicide."
On top of this, the state police have revisited the mysterious March 2004 bathtub drowning of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Savio's death initially was ruled an accident, but postmortem testing conducted in the wake of Stacy's disappearance led a forensic pathologist to conclude she was the victim of a homicide.
