An abuser never changes their tune. In the case of Drew Peterson, clearly his actions behind closed doors is that of a very clever, abusive, controlling, manipulative individual who just happened by accident, to be a cop. This case should not imply that police officers are abusive. Quite the opposite. The ones that abuse their families place a heavy burden and stigma on those who so bravely protect our streets 24/7.
Should authorities consider calling in the FBI on the disappearance of Stacy Peterson? Absolutely! They need to pull in the 25 year and over law enforcement veterans to assist in this case. Perhaps even a profiler. The person who cracks this case must be of the same mind set as Drew Peterson, meaning a guy who knows how to out think the criminals.
In my opinion, I don't believe he set out to harm her. Meaning it was not pre-meditated. I believe he loved her very much. It was likely they got into a heated battle and things spun out of control. He followed and taped her every move. When Drew Peterson said she left and she is where she wants to be there is clearly a message in his words. We know she hasn't used her cell phone and if it is ever located you can bet it will have already been disarmed. She has not used a credit card. She supposedly took twenty-five thousand dollars in cash. Hardly likely. Her car was found at the airport which is within 5-8 minutes walking distance from the Peterson residence.
No one has really been able to pin point with much accuracy, any type of a time line, except for the one-sided dribbled mechanicaly produced story by Drew Peterson.
Not once has Peterson made an attempt to look or sincerely ask publicly that she return home. Why? Because she can not. He has labled the tragedies as "incidents". A pill box way of text book response when one is attached to the event or crimes .
He has already made arrangements with family members regarding the kids. His plan is in place no matter what the outcome. And doesn't anyone find it odd, that his words and actions have never once included that of Stacy Peterson.
As the daughter of former police detective, Philip Murphy, I feel as though my father has been resurected into the body of Drew Peterson. In comparing objectively, the two men, watching as a spectator with the rest of the world, they are in my opinion, identical. With one exception, that my mother was found and properly laid to rest, Stacy Peterson is still out there somewhere and we must find her!

An article today appeared in the Chattanooga Times & Free Press regarding officers and domestic violence incidents among the rank and file. Officers often bring the streets into their own homes. I have said this before, until officers who commit acts of violence in their own homes are treated like everyone else, it will continue behind closed doors. The blue brotherhood is alive abd well among police departments across the country. Stress on the job is a poor excuse for anyone law enforcement or not, to terrorize their own flesh and blood.

It took authorities more than six months to decide whether to charge Millville Police Sgt. Robert Vanaman, who authorities said claimed he was acting in self-defense when he fatally shot his wife on May 11. Barbara Vanaman, 37, died of two gunshot wounds to the chest.
Cumberland County Prosecutor Ronald Casella said the case was tricky in part because there were no witnesses.
Robert Vanaman, 37, spent four days in a hospital for treatment of stab wounds and slashes to his torso and arms, said his lawyer, Joseph O'Neill.
Vanaman, a 15-year veteran of the police force in the city 40 miles west of Atlantic City, was suspended after the shooting. The charges he faces include murder, hindering an investigation and suppression of evidence.
Since the slaying, he had been on leave from his police job and was raising his 14- and 5-year-old sons.
Neither boy was home when their mother was shot. But the younger one did see his father led away in handcuffs Tuesday, O'Neill said.
A judge set bail Tuesday at $750,000. Vanaman was to appear in court Wednesday. 5/21/2006 - Police Officer Murders His Wife-Remains on Job Until he is Charged? 5/30/2006 - Don't let the Truth be Buried with Barbara Vanaman 2006/11/2Christian Teen Murdered shouting "I Want Jesus"JERSEYVILLE, Ill.--- A teenager carrying a Bible and shouting "I want Jesus" was shot twice with a police stun gun and later died at a St. Louis hospital, authorities said. Is this a misuse of a weapon, that we, as the general public have been told by authorities is not lethal? The full account of the incident will never really come into the Public's view. The mere fact that he was murdered is cause enough for Christian's around the world to rally and advocate on behalf of an innocent young man taken before his time and the circumstances for which he lost his life. In a statement obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press, police in Jerseyville, about 40 miles north of St. Louis, said 17-year-old Roger Holyfield would not acknowledge officers who approached him and he continued yelling, "I want Jesus." Police tried to calm the teen, but Holyfield became combative, according to the statement. Officers fired the stun gun at him after he ignored their warnings, then fired again when he continued struggling, police said. Holyfield was flown to St. Louis' Cardinal Glennon Hospital after the confrontation Saturday; he died there Sunday, police said. An autopsy was planned for Tuesday. The statement expressed sympathy to Holyfield's family but said city and police officials would not discuss the matter further. Calls Tuesday to Jerseyville Police Chief Brad Blackorby were not immediately returned. The department has been using stun guns for about five months, according to the statement. In a report released in March, international human rights group Amnesty International said it had logged at least 156 deaths across the country in the previous five years related to police stun guns. The rise in deaths accompanies a marked increase in the number of U.S. law enforcement agencies employing devices made by Taser International Inc. (TASR) of Scottsdale, Ariz. About 1,000 of the nation's 18,000 police agencies used Tasers in 2001; more than 7,000 departments had them last year, according to a government study. Police had used Tasers more than 70,000 times as of last year, Congress' Government Accountability Office said. Amnesty International has urged police departments to suspend the use of Tasers pending more study. Taser International said the group's count was flawed and falsely linked deaths to Taser use when there has been no such official conclusion. The city of St. Louis also drew unwanted attention for crime this week when it was named the most dangerous U.S. city by Morgan Quitno Press. The ranking looked only at crime within St. Louis city limits, not its metro area. 2006/10/18The Gun Culture and American Democracy Read the rest of this entry ...
