Author: Drew Peterson Failed Half a Polygraph Test on Missing Wife Stacy
Wednesday, October 08, 2008
Former police officer Drew Peterson failed half a polygraph test about his missing fourth wife's disappearance, according to the author of a new book.
Peterson, the prime suspect in Stacy Peterson's disappearance, agreed to be interviewed by writer Derek Armstrong and take a lie detector test for "Drew Peterson Exposed," Armstrong said.
"He failed half of six questions on the Stacy Peterson polygraph," Armstrong told FOXNews.com. "The questions he failed were directly related to the timeline I had him create."
Peterson got a "deceptive" reading with responses about whether his wife called to say she was leaving him (which he answered "yes" to), whether he knew where she was (he answered "no") and whether he had seen her the morning she vanished (he said "no").
Stacy Peterson disappeared suddenly last October. Her body has never been found, and police say they believe she is dead.
Drew Peterson, who is also being investigated in the mysterious bathtub death of his third wife Kathleen Savio, has not been charged in either case.
Armstrong says Peterson acted "cold" when he spoke about Stacy Peterson — and he has released some clips of the interview audio tapes to the media in the days since his book hit shelves Oct. 1.
"He became very, very cold. He appeared to be emotionless," Armstrong said. "Frankly, the only time I got him to warm up emotionally was when he talked about himself — and his kids."
As for whether he believes Peterson is guilty, the author is reluctant to say for sure. He told FOXNews.com parts of the interviews with the ex-Bolingbrook, Ill., police officer made him uneasy.
"I don't think there's enough evidence either way, but I'm very uncomfortable," he said. "That's why I'm releasing the tapes."
He admitted he's also making portions of his interviews available for publicity of his book.
Peterson is scheduled for a pretrial hearing on a gun charges case Dec. 8.
Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky, didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.
