Letter claims Stacy Peterson seen in Kentucky mall
Former Bolingbrook police officer Drew Peterson received a letter from an anonymous writer who says they saw Stacy Peterson with another man in Florence Kentucky on November 18. The author claims to have photographed her, and the letter was postmarked Cincinnati on December 29 while Peterson was in Florida. Peterson’s attorney says the letter will be turned over to Illinois State Police. Stacy’s family spokesperson calls anonymous claims exasperating and notes Peterson remains the prime suspect.
