Drew Peterson's Will With Kathleen Savio Subpoenaed by Grand Jury 01/15/2008 Craig Wall (www.myfoxchicago.com) reporting FOX NEWS EXCLUSIVE (VIDEO): (Transcribed by www.acandyrose.com from Video) CRAIG WALL: Kathleen Savio's signature is distinctive, fluid lines with a dash of flair, it's penned on the bottom of a two page hand written Will, being of sound body and mind, she and Drew left all their possessions to each other in the event of either of their deaths. DREW PETERSON: "There really wasn't nothing sinister about it, just something simple if something happen if we were on vacation." CRAIG WALL (Voice Over): "The date of the Will, March 2, 1997, nearly seven years later almost to the day Kathleen Savio would be found dead in her bathtub. That simple handwritten statement would become her Last Will and Testament." ANN DOMAN (Kathleen’s sister): "She told me she would never make the divorce, she would never live to see the end of the divorce." CRAIG WALL (Voice Over): "What was once ruled an accidental drowning is now being investigated as a possible murder." JAMES GLASGOW (State’s Attorney): "There are strong indications that it was a homicide." CRAIG WALL (Voice Over): "Now that long forgotten Will, evidence in the investigation." KAREN CONTI (Attorney): "The effect of the will was very beneficial to …. Peterson." CRAIG WALL (Voice Over): "Attorney Karen Conti reviewed the probate records in Kathleen Savio's estate for Fox News. She [Kathleen] and Drew Peterson were divorced but in a rare move the judge allowed them to figure out the financial settlement later." KAREN CONTI: "What was left to be resolved between these two people was money. There was the house that was sold, there was a property, a bar that was sold and they were fighting over the cash." SUE DOMAN: "Finally they come to somewhat an agreement, two weeks before it was to be distributed she died. It's a fantastic coincidence." CRAIG WALL (Voice Over): "It had been a bitter divorce. Her husband was in the middle of an adulteress affair with 19 year old Stacy Peterson and while Kathleen remembered to change the beneficiaries on her life insurance there was still that Will." JOEL BRODSKY: "To revoke a will is a very simple act. You just have to sign a piece of paper saying I revoke a will and have it witnessed by two people and it's revoked and since she didn't do it I have to assume this is what she wanted to happen." CRAIG WALL (Voice Over): "So despite the divorce, Drew Peterson got all her furniture, jewelry and the money from the sale of the home, about $288,000 thousand dollars. He was also named guardian of the children's million dollar trust fund." KAREN CONTI: "If you look at it they are trying to iron out their differences, it's not working, she ends up dead, a Will appears, it's a pretty good timeline to show motive." JOEL BRODSKY: "I guess if your going to say this is a motive for murder, there isn't a divorce that occurs where there is a motive for murder." CRAIG WALL (Voice Over): "But take a close look at the will." DREW PETERSON: "I wrote up the will with Kathleen's instructions and we simply had a couple friends that were over to witness it and that was that simple." CRAIG WALL (Voice Over): "Those friends turned out to be Peterson's former partners, in the Bolingbrook Police Department and according to the Savio family, Drew's best man at their wedding. Alex Morelli, Drew's former partner says he wants nothing more to do with Drew and has nothing positive to say about him. He said Drew has turned his world upside down. Best man, Gary Marcolina took off when we tied to talk to him. The old Will names James B. Carrol, Drew’s Uncle, names him executor and gives him full control. He confirmed the account that he was going on vacation but declined to comment further. Once the Will was admitted into court, Carrol promptly fired Kathleen's attorney and discharged another lawyer appointed by the court to watch out for the best interest of the children. So Mr. Carrol had an obligation not to be looking out for Drew but to look out for Kathleen." KAREN CONTI: "Absolutely" CRAIG WALL: "So who does it appear the executor was looking out for in this case?" KAREN CONTI: "Drew Peterson" END OF TRANSCRIPT

http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/heraldnews/news/636553,4_1_JO06_MISSING_S2.article Court filings tell story November 6, 2007 By STEWART WARREN STAFF WRITER JOLIET -- Although we don't know much about Stacy Peterson's disappearance, we know other things. They are found in files at the Will County Courthouse. Knit together, these facts tell something about Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson, the missing woman's much-older husband. For example, while married to another woman, Drew Peterson, 53, owned several businesses and life insurance policies -- and that third wife later was found drowned in a bathtub without any water. Fourth wife Stacy Peterson, a 23-year-old mother of two, hasn't been seen since Oct. 28. The young woman was supposed to help family members paint a house, but never showed. Drew Peterson claims his wife simply deserted him, but a family member reported her missing. Savio's death In early 2002, Drew Peterson and Kathleen Savio, the third wife, began divorce proceedings, according to court documents. They had been married about 10 years and had two children. In late 2003, Will County Judge Susan O'Leary dissolved their marriage. Their divorce was "bifurcated," in this case meaning they were allowed to divorce before their common property was divided, according to court documents. Then in March 2004, a neighbor found Savio dead in the dry bathtub at her Bolingbrook home. It was an accident, Will County Coroner Patrick K. O'Neil ruled. The 40-year-old woman suffered blunt trauma and a lacerated scalp, injuries consistent with a fall that could have knocked her unconscious, according to the inquest. By that time, Drew Peterson already was involved with the then-Stacy Cales, who was 17 when they met. After Savio died, there was a Will County probate case to settle her financial affairs. Well-known local lawyer Dick Kavanagh was the public administrator of Will County, a governor-appointed position. Simply put, the public administrator tries to find the fairest way to settle an estate after a death, among other things. A will emerges A year after Savio's death and the beginning of the legal proceedings to settle her affairs, a will emerged. It was submitted in court on March 23, 2005. Hand-written in capital letters, it was scrawled across two pieces of lined notebook paper and witnessed by Alex J. Morelli and Gary L. Marcolina. A man named Alex Morelli is a Bolingbrook police officer, and Herald News archives show a man named Gary Marcolina is a developer in the Crest Hill area. "This day March 2nd 1997 Drew Walter Peterson and Kathleen Savio Peterson, both being of sound body and mind, do hereby bequeath all of our worldly possessions to each other in the event of either of our individual deaths," begins the will filed with court documents. If they died together, the couple wanted everything to go to certain people, among them Tom and Kris Peterson, their children, and Eric Drew Peterson and Stephen Paul Peterson, Drew Peterson's children from another relationship. The will lists some of their assets: • A Golden Rule life insurance policy valued at $100,000 • A Monumental Life Insurance policy valued at $125,000 • A Prudential Life Insurance policy valued at $308,137.59 -- "Beneficiary Merchants Bank Oswego to pay off note for Sud's Pub in Montgomery," according to the will. • Bolingbrook Police Pension fund of more than $50,000 • A piece of real estate listed as 9 Clay Court, Montgomery • The Blue Lightning Corp., or Sud's Pub, 1250 S. Broadway, Montgomery • Da Page Corp., Fast 'N' Accurate Graphics, 87 Eisenhower South, Lombard • A quarter interest in CMYK Corp., listed as a printing business in "Lombard-Naperville," according to the will. Division of property issues The will names James B. Carroll, Drew Peterson's uncle, executor of the estate, according to a document filed in court by Kavanagh, who apparently had some concerns. "After my appointment as administrator, I conferred with attorney Harry Smith with respect to the status of the property settlement portion of the divorce proceeding ... (He) advised me that there were three major issues with respect to the division of property ... 1. Whether Kathleen's estate would be entitled to any portion of Drew Peterson's pension; 2. The valuation of the business known as the Blue Lightning Corp., which has been sold with all of the proceeds going to Drew Peterson; and 3. The value of the house, and whether Kathleen Peterson's estate would be entitled to receive not only her one-half of the proceeds of any sale, but an additional portion of the remaining one-half as an offset for the cash taken by Drew Peterson from the sale of the (bar)," Kavanaugh wrote in court documents. On April 8, 2005, Will County Judge Michael Powers entered a judgment in the financial aspects of the divorce case. It awarded Drew Peterson the Blue Lightning Corp. and all the proceeds from the sale of the couple's home, according to the court documents filed by Kavanagh. The judgment also mentions what seems to be a fourth life insurance policy. "(It) provided that Drew Peterson would not be obligated to fund any college expenses for the minor children of the parties due to the fact that life insurance on the life of Kathleen in the amount of $1 million had been payable to the children," according to the document. As part of the judgment, Carroll agreed that some money from Savio's estate should go to someone other than the four children. "The effect of the judgment was to transfer anywhere from $144,117.65 to $288,235.31 (one-half to all of the proceeds of the home sale) from the four children who were the beneficiaries of the estate ... to Drew Peterson," according to court documents. Kavanagh didn't approve of that move, apparently. "The actions of (Carroll) were not in the best interest of the estate or the beneficiaries," he wrote in a court document.
