Hello I enjoy listening to you and Levi, I have Kathleens letter she wrote to the DA, do you have it for your show today? I will copy and paste it here, it was copied with sp errors and all. You can refer to it during your show today if you get this in time:
On three different occasions I have tried to reach you over the phone regarding charges I filed against Drew Peterson on the date of July 5 2002.

Note, I did contact the Police Dept and talked to the Asst Chief Mike Calcagno; in reference to Drew Break in the same weekend. I than filed a report in
regards to my safety, from Drew by two officer that arrive at my residents 392 blank St Bolingbrook IL

When I found out Mr Peterson was having an affair with a minor at the police dept he began to get very violent. By strking me with his hand and chasing me through the house with a police stick. At that time on record, I had to get an order of Prtection from him.

Their has been several times throughout my marriage with this man where I ended up at the emergency rm in Bolingbrook for injuries, and i have reported this only to have the police leave my home without filing any reports.

On July 5th, Mr Peterson got into my home with a garage door opener he programmed for himself, while I was out of town with my Sons. I was unaware of his presents, and was very afraid for my live. * I am typing it as written sp grammatical errors and all*
I This man pop out from our living room while I was walking down stair, with a baske of laundry. I was shocked and dropped all the cloths and sood their asking him to get out. Drew was in uniform *swat uniform* with his police radio in his ear. He yelled for me to sit down and be quiet I refused and he pushed me on the stairs. He told me to move down to the third stpe and not to move or speak. He was very angry that in our divorce the judge ruled he would have to pay me child support. He told me he didnt want to pay me anything. (he left my boys 8 and 9, and I with many bills, up to 2,000 and with an 11,0000 inconme tax bill, as well as a 6800 property tax bill for us to pay) Needless to say we are without money of any credit) He kept me in position for a very long length of time, while trying to convince me how horrible I am, and i just need to die. He asked me several times If I was afraid, I started to panic! He pulled out his knife, that he kept around his leg and brought it to my neck.. I thought I'd never see my boys again. I just told him to end this craziness and he for some reason
pulled back. I didnt tell the police because I know they cant protect me from him. I know he will be back, hes now attempting to try to make me look like the bad guy, with untrue charges of Battery against him, and his 17 yr old Girlfriend. The sick thing is I really think they're enjoying this. Over the summer they went out of their way to rollerblade right in front of my home, drive by, and stop for long lengths of time in front of the house. Childish things like his girl friend flipping me off if I was out in front with the kids while driving by.

At the prestent time my children have been in a program at school called rainbos, in efforts to repair some of the damage drew and his girlfirend has created. One of which Drew falsely arrested me in front of my children with my face in the grass, and calling me a criminal for hitting his girlfriend, which didnt' happen. Insteatd, she called me a bounce of inappropriate name in front of my children, so I felt it was necessary to get them back in the house away from this. When I ran to the truck, it being very high up I notices Stacy his girl friend taping me, with the stolen camera Drew took from our home.
I attempted to take the camera and my next goal was to return to my home with my children. But I was thrown to the ground and treated like an outlaw, and booked and arrested for no reason. My wrist was sprained, when I was being thrown to the ground and held down by Drew, who was not on duty at the time. While this was happening my children were being held against their own will, by Stacy Cales, while she told them to sit down and be quiet. My son's phyc is working with them but states, "she cant fix what continue to happen on a on going basis'. My eight yr old come home from spending 1 hour with his dad, because he really is never there, and pushes his sons and girlfriend on my son all the time, and expressed to me that he was confused! It seemed that Drew live in girlfriend showed both my sons her wedding dress and ring, and told them she was going to marry their father. Of course that's ok, for Adults, but when my boys come home with tears in their eyes, still hoping for mom and dad to get back together again, it become hearbreaking and very confusing to them. They dont understand how dad can get married if he's still married to their mommy. The list goes on, and I understand it's just part of it, but it need to stop. My sons and I would like to move away from this area, for our safety and sanctity. I am a full time Nursing Student and Drew left me while in the middle of the program. I dont want my career or my sons to suffer this nightmare anymore. He knows how to manipulate the system, and his next step is to take my children away. Or Kill me instead.
I really would like to know why this man wasnt charged with this unlawful entry, and attempt on my life. I am willing to take any test you want me to take to prove my innocents of charges against me, and also any lie detector test, on the my statement I filed against him. I really fee, Drew is a loose cannon, he out on the Streets of Bolingbrook patrolling, and just taking the law into his own hands. i havent received help from the Police here in Bolingbrook, and asking for your help now. Before It's too late. I really hope by filiing this charge it might stop him from trying to hurt us. Please return my call at blankblank No.
