Stacy Peterson
Missing since October 28, 2007
|
My name is Cassandra Cales on October 28th,
2007 my life changed forever when I couldn’t get a hold of my
sister, Stacy Peterson, and my gut instinct told me that Drew
Peterson (her husband) had murdered her. She would never
abandon her children or me. I have yet to stop searching.
Through the years I have met a handful of great people and on
the other hand I have met way too many shady glory-seekers
wanting to gain something.
That being said, I have fought this fight for
my sister alone as I trust very few. Law Enforcement has never
worked with me or kept me apprised of their so-called “ongoing”
investigation. I have to find out my information through back
channel contacts and my own personal investigating. In all these
years I have not had a vacation. I use my vacation and sick days
from work to conduct searches. When those days run out, I still
carry on my search at a financial hinderance. Not even a penny
from my family. All monies I earn after each pay period I pay my
bills and the rest goes to my search efforts. Any additional
income, whether it be bonuses, tax returns, or selling my
personal stuff, all goes to bringing my sister home. I will
sell everything I own, if I have to, even my soul if I could,
for my sister’s body to be recovered. In all of my research and
investigating and figuring out Drew’s timeline, travel, and
whereabouts; I know the truth. It has come time for me to share
with the world what I know, as I will no longer bite my tongue
and wait.
Why am I coming forward with this now? What is the rush? It is
because the Will County State’s Attorney and Illinois State
Police are moving forward to charge Drew, in the near future,
for the murder of my sister; without her body. That is not
justice for me, not justice for her, and definitely not justice
for her children. There are numerous people doing TV shows,
documentaries, interviews, etc. and getting money, profiting off
of my sister’s murder. It makes me sick and heartbroken that
people would do this and it’s a story to everyone. It’s not a
story to me; this is my life. So instead of all of these
money-hungry people telling you, I feel like it should come from
the mouth and heart of the me.
Drew Peterson disposed of my sister’s body on
the evening of October 28th, 2007, in the Sanitary and Shipping
Canal, after having dropped off his step-brother. I have sonar
images of her lifeless body on the bottom of the riverbed, which
I will never release. That is not how I want the world to
remember my beautiful sister. These images have already made it
into the wrong hands of some of my past “searchers” back when I
trusted people and thought they were trying to help. Law
Enforcement messed up in 2007 and never sent divers down to
recover her body. They spent all of their time pulling cars out
of the shipping channel (at night, so the media didn’t know) and
didn’t care about doing the one thing they were supposed to be
doing which was to get my sister out. I made the calls to see
what they were doing, and they claimed that her body “could be
wedged against one of the vehicles” even though the cars were in
completely different areas than her body was at the time. If
law enforcement would have done their job, I would have had my
sister’s body home, in the flesh, 22 days after Drew murdered
her. Law Enforcement again failed to retrieve her now
decomposing body in 2008 when my sonar team found her several
miles downstream from where we had last located her in 2007.
I would not be where I am at today spending everything I have to
retrieve her skeletal remains if they had not failed over and
over again. I have pulled all of the money out of my 401k, maxed
out all of my credit cards, and have hired the best of the best
people and top notch sonar equipment to continue to track her
remains down. Just last month I hired a dive team to go down to
check some Sonar Targets for me, near the last sonar location of
her in 2008, which personally cost me thousands.
When I go out, I go out and get things done. I
do not need television people or camera crews following me. Just
because you don’t see me out there or on the news doesn’t mean
that I’m not out there still fighting to bring Stacy home.
Believe me, I will not give up and I will never stop my search.
I will continue my search alone and keep sonaring and hiring
professional teams to come in. I already have all permission,
permits and plans in motion to have another Sonar/Dive real
soon. Based upon where her remains were in 2008, I have had
people analyze the probable movements that happened. There is a
high certainty that her remains were pushed further into a
protected alcove of the canal where barge traffic would not
affect anything and the water currents would prevent anything
from scattering further downstream. This target area has never
been sonar scanned with the high definition equipment or had
divers sent down for manual underwater exploration. Based upon
this knowledge and other communications I have had with experts,
my search teams have been informed that Stacy’s remains may not
be the only one in that area.
