Drew Peterson shunned
By M&C US News Dec 7, 2007, 17:49 GMT
Person of interest Drew Peterson said Thursday he would rather be remembered for something positive than something that would result in his picture being plastered on a pinata.
CNN reports that it was on display Saturday at a prayer vigil held for Peterson's wife, Stacy, 23, who vanished Oct. 28. Illinois State Police soon named Peterson, 53, a suspect in the case, which has been labeled a possible homicide.
Since then, Peterson, an ex-Bolingbrook police sergeant, has become infamous.
In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Peterson shared this:
"I'd rather be a celebrity for something good," Peterson said. "They snuck me in and out for the 'Today' show. I remember sitting in the New York airport, and all of a sudden there was my face on TV."
"It's like they had this vigil for Stacy, and the next thing you know there's a pinata with my face on it," he said. "All these policemen who were my friends, and I would have jumped in front of a bullet for, don't even talk to me."
Peterson has not participated in any searches since his wife disappeared and has claimed she ran off with another man.
