Drew Peterson has received love letters since trial started


Is someone looking to become the next late Mrs. Peterson?



Drew Peterson has received love letters since trial started
By MICHAEL SNEED msneed@suntimes.com August 22, 2012 7:48PM


Sneed is told accused wife murderer Drew Peterson has received a pile of “love letters” since his trial began in Will County several weeks ago.

◆ Go figure: “The love and friendship letters are primarily from women . . . approximately 90 percent,” said Peterson’s attorney Joel Brodsky. “Most are from women who want to meet him.”

◆ Peterson, the jailed former Bolingbrook cop, gets “nine letters a day” doled out to him at the jail, but he’s been told jail administrators are “holding a truckload,” Brodsky tells Sneed.

◆ Incoming: Sneed hears jail guards were surprised and hesitant at first to give Peterson the incoming pile of letters.

◆ Background: Peterson, who has been in jail awaiting trial for the past three years for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio — the mother of two of his six children — initially received letters from love-struck women convinced of his innocence — but the river of mail dried up over the last year. Even his ex-girlfriend stopped visiting him. ................(more)

...I came across the passage which indicated that even Josef Fritzl (the old guy who locked his daughter up for over two decades and raped her) received "hundreds" of love letters.

For some reason it struck me as even more disturbing than Ted Bundy's love-struck fan club.

This world. Is crazy.

High profile con gets propositions from women around the nation. Manson, Bundy, Gacy, Dahmer all got their fair share of such propositions. A sad insight into human nature.
