While You’re At It [Dan Collins]

keep your eyes peeled for a blue plastic barrel:

A relative of former police officer Drew Peterson reportedly helped him move a large, heavy container out of his suburban home the day his wife vanished, an allegation that sparked a furious denial from Peterson’s attorney. 

Peterson and his stepbrother removed the container from an upstairs bedroom and put it in his sport-utility vehicle, according to media reports that cited anonymous sources close to the investigation into Stacy Peterson’s disappearance last month. The stepbrother, Thomas Morphey, later became distraught after learning that Stacy Peterson was missing and tried to kill himself, The Herald News of Joliet reported Wednesday.

Authorities say Drew Peterson is a suspect in his fourth wife’s disappearance and have called her case a possible homicide. Investigators are also re-examining the 2004 death of Drew Peterson’s third wife, Kathleen Savio. Police have said her death may have been a homicide staged to look like an accidental bathtub drowning.

Peterson, 53, has denied wrongdoing, saying he believes the 23-year-old Peterson left him for another man and is alive.

Peterson’s attorney, Joel Brodsky, denied that anyone helped Peterson move a container from the home and claimed the stepbrother has a history of mental problems.”I don’t know what world Thomas Morphey is living in, our world, his world or if he’s veering back and forth between the real world and whatever fantasy world he’s living in,” Brodsky told The Associated Press.  

Oh, Morpheus is in better touch with reality than you, Mr. Brodsky, though I guess it’s your job to lie on your client’s behalf. “Everyday the bucket go to the well,/One day the bottom will drop out.”

    Blue wall barrel of silence STFU.

    Very disappointing from an LEO. Cops are usually better than this…at concealing murders. “Bathtub drowning?” Fuckin’ amateur hour.

  2. Alec Leamas says:

    I’d only ask a full blood brother to help me move a body, that’s for damn sure.

  3. The Lost Dog says:

    MSM.

    What does that mean?

    Most likely bullshit (MLB – not to be confused with Major League Baseball).

    I want to know dirt on Lanny Davis. He is unreal, but very good at throwing dung around the arena….

    Lying because of ignorance is one thing, lying to lie is a whole different thing, eh?

    That’s why I love the socialists. They don’t have a clue that lying eats your own soul. Cripes! I don’t think they even believe in a soul…

    Cool, baby.

  4. The Lost Dog says:

    Dan –

    Look on lobster boats. Most of the bait barrels are blue.

    You’re welcome.

    It’s looking suspicious…but you quote…“Everyday the bucket go to the well,/One day the bottom will drop out.”

    I’d like to remind you of one more important quote…”Innocent until proven guilty”

  6. Rusty says:

    Blue barrels? Blue barrels? Now where else have I seen blue barrels in the news? Oh yeah! Jeffry Dahmer!

  7. Carin says:

    “’d like to remind you of one more important quote…”Innocent until proven guilty”

    Yes … you’re right. But since I’m not in the media, the law, or in the jury box – I feel ok saying this guy seems REALLY guilty.

    And, I believe stats are on my side that when a wife goes a-missing and foul play is suspected, the husband usually did it.

  8. Andrew says:

    Fourth wife, huh?

    Hope he’s not Greek Orthodox. He might not be allowed any more.

  9. Parker says:

    A friend will help you move.

    A GOOD friend will help you move bodies.

  10. Cowboy says:

    Totally off topic, but until I hear otherwise I’m going to assume that Jeff G, JD, a lava lamp, and some ZZ Topp papers were involved in

    this,

    Where is Mah Bucket?

    /Walrus.

  12. Jim in KC says:

    Carin, you are dead-on as far as statistics. And if the husband didn’t do it, meaning she simply walked away, it’s usually fairly easy to tell from the details. Most people simply don’t do that without some sort of preparation that may go unnoticed at the time but usually gets uncovered pretty quickly once an actual investigation starts. Absent any of that, it’s a pretty safe bet the husband (or equivalent) did it.

  13. Carin says:

    Man, if he did it, he’s one stupid mother-fu%#er:

    According to the Chicago Tribune, Peterson picked up his relative about 7 p.m. that day and took him to a coffee shop. Peterson reportedly told the man he had to go somewhere and left him with a cell phone, instructing him not to answer it.

    The phone did ring while Peterson was gone, the Tribune reported. The caller ID said “Stacy.”

    Peterson came back to the coffee shop and drove the man to Peterson’s home. Peterson reportedly asked him to help him move something from the house. After moving the plastic container to the SUV, the two left and Peterson dropped the man off at his own home, according to the Tribune.

    I don’t know if the “relative’s” story is true, but if they find that blue barrel … Oye. If that’s his level of sophistication in alibi-establishment, the kids on Scooby-Doo could have figured this one out.

  14. Slartibartfast says:

    Yeah, but if it hadn’t been for those pesky kids, he could’ve gotten away with it.

    Shaggy, Fred, Thelma, Scooby and Daphne are the last line of defense, apparently.

  15. Slartibartfast says:

    meddling kids, I mean.

  16. thor says:

    Dan, didn’t you used to date a blue plastic barrel?

  17. MayBee says:

    Today there was also the news that Stacy Peterson had told several people that her husband had killed his third wife and used her as an alibi. Yet Stacy continued to live with him and have his children. I just don’t know……
    Regardless, the point is really that it is bad luck to be a married woman named _acy Peterson.

  18. McGehee says:

    I think it’s just bad luck to marry anybody named Peterson, especially with a one-syllable first name. Ever wonder why there’s never been a “Cheers” reunion? It’s because Vera disappeared under suspicious circumstances and Norm’s on the lam.

  19. Topsecretk9 says:

    Maybee

    –Regardless, the point is really that it is bad luck to be a married woman named _acy Peterson.–

    Also, Stacy had a sister named Lacy who died in a house fire as a youth. Very weird.

  20. jon says:

    The facts that her brother helped move the barrel and attempted suicide suggest he might know a lot more than he’s said already. I’m not saying murder suspect, but he sure as hell could have been involved in the coverup. Why? Who the hell knows? Plus, did all this information come from the brother? If I wanted to get rid of a sibling, it sure would be easier if the spouse is someone who is suspected of murdering an earlier spouse. Just saying. Unlikely as hell, but worth considering?
