Outlaw

The Resume

    (January 6, 1954- )
    Born in Bolingbrook, Illinois
    Officer with the Bolingbrook (Illinois) police department for 29 years
    Married four times (including marriages to Stacy Peterson and Kathleen Savio)

Why he might be annoying:

    His third wife (Kathleen Savio) died under mysterious circumstances and his fourth wife (Stacy Peterson) disappeared.
    He cheated on his first wife and allegedly abused his second wife.
    He displayed inappropriate affect during interviews while discussing the disappearance of his wife, Stacy.
    He took an interest in Stacy when she was 17 years old (thirty years his junior).
    His third wife's (Savio's) death was ruled as an accidental drowning, but some felt Peterson's fellow officers were 'protecting' him.
    Prior to her death, Savio had complained of domestic abuse more than a dozen times, and expressed to friends she feared for her life.
    Five years after her death, he was charged with the murder of Kathleen Savio (2009).
    In 1985, he was relieved of his police duties over allegations of bribery and misconduct.
    He was found guilty of murder (September 6, 2012).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He served in the United States Army.
    He felt the media treated him like a 'monster' and reported stories which proclaimed his guilt before he was ever charged with any crime.
    He contended Stacy Peterson ran away with another man, and he had nothing to do with her disappearance.
    He was reinstated to the Bolingbrook Police Department.
    His story helped raise awareness about domestic violence and controlling/overly jealous husbands.
