On the heels of the Lifetime movie release of “Drew Peterson: Untouchable,” starring Rob Lowe, here is a look back at the local timeline of the Drew Peterson case.
Bolingbrook resident Stacy Peterson was last heard from on Oct. 28, 2007.
1974 - Drew Peterson marries his high school sweetheart Carol Hamilton, now Carol Brown, two years after his graduation from Willowbrook High School. Hamilton is three years younger than her husband.
1980 - Drew and Hamilton divorce. They have two sons, Eric and Stephen. Brown later tells Diane Sawyer of “Good Morning America” she did not notice controlling behavior in Drew but that they grew apart when she learned of his extramarital affairs.
December 1983 - Toddler Jessica Cales, the youngest child of Christie and Anthony Cales, dies in a Downers Grove house fire.
January 20, 1984 – Christie and Anthony Cales have their third child, Stacy.
October 1987 -Stacy’s younger sister, Lacy, dies of sudden infant death syndrome. Reports say the girls’ mother begins showing erratic behavior.
1982 - Drew Peterson, 28, marries 23-year-old Victoria Rutkiewicz, now Vicki Connolly.
1992 - Drew and Connolly divorce after she learns of extramarital affairs. By this time, Drew is dating Kathleen Savio. Peterson, 38, and Savio, 28, marry later that year.
March 1998 - Christie Marie Toutges Cales disappears.
2001 - Drew Peterson, 47, meets 17-year-old Stacy Cales, a front desk clerk at a Bolingbrook hotel. The two begin dating despite Peterson’s marriage to Kathleen Savio.
Nov. 14, 2002 - In the midst of a bitter divorce, Savio sends a letter to Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Elizabeth Fragale expressing fears that her estranged husband may kill her. By the time the letter was sent, Bolingbrook police had responded to 10 service calls regarding Drew and Savio. Police would respond to eight more calls before Drew and Cales marry in October 2003. Many of the calls involved child custody complaints while others alleged battery of Drew or Cales by Savio and vice versa.
July 2003 – Stacy gives birth to her first child, Anthony.
Oct. 10 - After months of legal disputes, Drew and Savio divorce. Issues remain unresolved with regard to the distribution of marital assets. Savio retains custody of their two children, Thomas and Kristopher, who spend weekends with their father.
October 2003 – Drew, 49, and Stacy, 19, marry.
