Case follows Peterson

BOLINGBROOK -- Even in the happiest place on Earth, Drew Peterson can't escape public scrutiny.
Peterson, the embattled ex-cop whose fourth wife has been missing for more than two months, drove his younger four children to Orlando to spend a week at Disney World. He says they enjoyed the Magic Kingdom, despite unwanted attention and disapproving looks...
"The problem is, I got more stares and dirty looks," Peterson said. "One guy called me Scott Peterson."
Unlike Scott Peterson, who was convicted of killing his wife Laci, Drew Peterson has not even been charged with doing anything to his missing wife Stacy. In fact, Drew Peterson has repeatedly insisted she ran off with another man, a claim bolstered by an anonymous letter he received Sunday, at least to the extent an anonymous letter can bolster a claim.
The author of the anonymous letter tells not only of spotting Stacy outside a shopping mall in Florence, Ky., but of speaking to the missing mom and snapping a picture of her with a cell phone.
The letter writer explains his or her reluctance to go public out of fear of the media, particularly Fox News Channel personality Kimberly Guilfoyle. Fox News has a (sic) evil woman named Kimberly Guilfoyle and she is an ex-prosecutor and she is attacking you and I am sure Fox will attack me if I come forward, like the rest of the press," the letter says.
The letter writer also tells of reporting the Stacy sighting to a Boone County Sheriff's Deputy who supposedly replied, "Yeah OK, if it is I'm not going to help him that crooked cop."
Tom Scheben, the spokesman for the Boone County Sheriff's Department, said all calls for service and self-initiated police calls on the day of the Stacy sighting are being checked. Also, Scheben said, department personnel are being asked if they recall the incident.
"This is one that would stick out," Scheben said.
The letter mentioned Stacy was in the company of an unidentified man. Her friends and relatives have steadfastly maintained she has not run off with another man and would not have had time to carry on an extramarital affair.
Drew Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, suggested otherwise.
"There's always room for Jell-O," Brodsky said.
No anonymous letters have surfaced so far regarding Drew Peterson sightings in Disney World, but the country's most famous retired cop said plenty of people recognized him.
"It was like, 'That's Drew Peterson,' and it happened a lot," he said, noting that his notoriety does not seem to be negatively affecting his children.
"The little ones are oblivious to it," he said, "and the older ones just blow it off."

This is so obvious! Drew and Joel have such an obvious dislike of Fox News, and then this just spews the same stuff. It is almost comical, if only there were not people now dead.
