Attorney: Fourth wife had dirt on Drew Peterson

Associated Press - February 8, 2010 1:14 PM ET

JOLIET, Ill. (AP) - A divorce attorney for Drew Peterson's third wife says the former suburban Chicago police officer's fourth wife called him days before she disappeared in 2007.

Harry Smith says Stacy Peterson told him that Drew Peterson was angry because he thought she'd told somebody he had killed Kathleen Savio. Savio was found dead in a bathtub in 2004.

Smith testified Monday at a hearing to determine what hearsay evidence will be allowed at Peterson's upcoming murder trial.

Smith says Stacy Peterson asked him how much money she could get from Drew Peterson if she threatened to go to police with information that he killed Savio.

He also says Stacy Peterson wasn't concerned about her safety because she had too much dirt on Drew Peterson's work at the Bolingbrook Police Department.
