Stacy Peterson: One Wife Murdered, the Next One Missing

On the morning of October 28th, 2007, 23-year-old Stacy Peterson didn't show up at her sister's house in Bolingbrook, Illinois. Her husband said she had run off with another man, leaving her two small children behind. Her husband was also a Bolingbrook police sergeant and his third wife had been found dead in a dry bathtub three years earlier, in a case the coroner's jury called an accident. This episode Kaelyn and Sabrina follow the clues: a sealed blue container a stepbrother says he helped with the night Stacy vanished. A minister's encounter with Stacy before she disappeared. And an exhumation that changed the narrative. Drew Peterson is serving 38 years for Kathleen Savio's murder, and 40 more for trying to have the prosecutor killed. He has never been charged in Stacy's case.
