Is Drew Peterson ENGAGED??

[polichick]

msnbc says there are reports that this guy who is suspected of killing his last two wives is set to marry a 23 year-old woman ~ wife #5.

Is she NUTZ, or what??

[gratuitous]

1. Is she nuts?

Yes.

This has been another edition of short answers to obvious questions.

[polichick]

3. Amazing that he could con another woman after all the press...

Maybe she just wants 15 minutes of fame ~ before he offs her.

[babylonsister]

11. Can he 'off' her from jail? I don't imagine he's going anywhere for awhile... nt

[LostinVA]

16. He isn't in jail, nor has he been charged with anything

[babylonsister]

17. My bad, thanks. I was thinking of Scott Peterson. nt

[LostinVA]

18. Ah -- I do know SCOTT Peterson has many female fans who adore him

WTF?

[babylonsister]

22. Does make you go hmmm. No idea-lack of bachelors out there?

:shrug:

[gratuitous]

26. All the good ones are taken

At least, that's what I keep hearing.

[Horse with no Name]

Well DUH

SHE is the only one who can change him--those OTHER two simply did NOT understand him. He is a codependent-dream-come-true.

[polichick]

4. That could be it - poor young thing.

[LostinVA]

2. She's crazy and he is beyond sickening

You KNOW that sociopath is just laughing and laughing and laughing.

[polichick]

30. So true - he thinks everyone is stupid except for him.

[Renew Deal]

5. Have to wonder if she knew who he was.

I bet she will now. Hopefully someone can talk some sense into her.

[LisaL]

7. Are you kidding me?

Do you think she is living under a rock?

[Renew Deal]

12. She may.

There's a lot of disconnected people in this world. Ask her to find her state on a map. ;)

[RoadRage]

9. How could she NOT?

The press follows the guy everywhere... what does he say "Oh, please - pay no attention to the paparazzi in the car behind us.. i used to be a uhh... world famous uhh.. soccer star.. yeah, that's it".

If the girl has ever watched a news program, she knows who he is.

She's most likely one of those very defiant self destructive types who thrives off of doing something dangerous after people to tell her not to. "Don't touch the hot stove"... "OWWWWW". "Don't go out without your coat".. "Crap, i'm cold". "Don't date the Serial Killer".. "Ohh.. he loves me.. crap, i'm dead too".

They are a dime a dozen.. and frankly sometimes you can't save people from themselves. OJ got dates after 1994 too.. some women just never learn.

[Renew Deal]

14. It's possible

If she's completely disconnected. Who knows.

[LisaL]

19. Hah?

:eyes:

[Renew Deal]

23. What?

:shrug:

[polichick]

31. "Ohh.. he loves me.. crap, i'm dead too" - that's sad but I couldn't help laughing.

[Heidi]

13. His attorney says the new fiance lives within 15 minutes of Peterson's home.

I'm all for "innocent until proven guilty" but even as naive as _I_ was at 23, I would not have involved myself with a man suspected of killing two wives.

[Mari333]

6. Its a 'daddy' fixation. or even a grandpa fixation. n/t

[Zuni]

8. only if grandpa was a multiple murderer

n/t

10. Fox News: Drew Peterson Engaged Though Still Married to Missing Wife

Drew Peterson Engaged Though Still Married to Missing Wife
The former police officer who is a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife and whose third wife died suspiciously in a bathtub plans to walk down the aisle for a fifth time

<snip>

"The kids have met her," Armstrong told FOXNews.com. "They like her and they know about this engagement."

<snip>

A sticking point for Peterson is his current marriage. Earlier this year, he met with divorce attorney Jeffery Leving to see what his rights to a split might be.

"This is not uncommon for Drew," Selig told FOXNews.com. "When he was married to Kathleen still, he was in the process of divorcing Kathleen when he proposed to Stacy. He’s done this before and, you know, he seems very happy."

15. she might want to consider having herself lo-jacked before the nuptuals.

it'll make it that much easier for loved ones to find her later on.

[KharmaTrain]

20. He's Been A "Chick Magnet"

I have no real opinions in this case...primarily since there still isn't a body or sufficient forensic evidence to nail the dude and thus I still like to subscribe to the unique concept of innocent until proven guilty...especially someone whose been tried by the media.

There have been various reports over the years of Peterson dating a lot...IRC, he even was part of a radio stunt...and the phones rang off the hooks. I have several friends who live in the area who think Peterson's being framed...some of it involving byzantine local politics (think Palin and Troopergate) and a local media that not only hated Peterson (he made them look like fools) but wanted badly for this to be a real scandalous story and ran roughshod around the town trying to dig whatever dirt they could...it really pissed people off.

From one whose still trying to get his 26 year "starter marriage" right, the thought of being with a 4-time loser is red flag enough, but its not as though this guy's past or reputation is some hidden secret.

[LostinVA]

21. He did it, as well as murdering his second wife

[KharmaTrain]

24. You Have Proof? Bodies???

Provide the evidence, let's get this dude indicted, put on trial and see where what a jury decides...not what they say on the teevee.

[HughBeaumont]

25. Once you go Drew, you're gonna be SCREWN!

Uh, yeah, can I just say GROSS BUCKETS and MOUNTAINS OF VOMIT?

Hey all you murderin' December-crisis grandpas, let's all go to Rush Week for wives!

[polichick]

35. Jeez, he must have a magic potion or something.

[JVS]

27. Women dig the bad boys.

[Horse with no Name]

28. Even the ones that look like the Cowardly Lion?

:puke:

[polichick]

32. LOL

[AndyA]

29. I don't see the attraction. She must be crazy.

What is that saying about a fool born every minute?

33. Suspect cop says he's engaged to be married

CHICAGO (AP) -- A publicist for the former Illinois police sergeant suspected in the disappearance of his wife says the ex-officer is engaged to be married again.

Publicist Glenn Selig (SEH'-lig) says 54-year-old Drew Peterson proposed within the last week after dating the woman for about four months.

Selig says the woman is 23 - the same age as Stacy Peterson when she disappeared in October 2007.

Illinois state police call Peterson a suspect in the disappearance of his wife but no charges have been filed against the former officer from the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook

[polichick]

[Blue_Tires]

36. damn...and i can't even find a date

well, i'm off to start a life of crime, scarface-style...at least i know chicks dig that

[polichick]

37. The good news: karma always catches up to these creeps eventually...

Even OJ didn't get away with it forever.
