The Disappearance of Stacy Ann Peterson

Stacy Peterson’s disappearance doesn’t stand alone—because three years earlier, Drew Peterson’s third wife, Kathleen Savio, was already sounding the alarm. In Part 2, Dr. Phil traces the relationship timeline: Stacy meets Drew at 17 while he’s still married to Kathleen, and Kathleen’s divorce filing alleges he was “having an affair with a minor,” followed by a temporary order of protection as she fears for her life.

Then the calls start stacking up—eighteen domestic disturbance responses between 2002 and 2004—each one a missed opportunity to recognize escalation inside a home where the husband also knows the system.

On March 1, 2004, Kathleen is found nude, face-down in an empty bathtub with visible injuries—yet her death is ruled an accidental drowning.

When Stacy vanishes, investigators exhume Kathleen’s body and a second autopsy changes everything: blunt-force trauma, signs consistent with drowning after injury, and a case that now looks like murder.

Dr. Phil breaks down what this pattern suggests about control, narrative manipulation, and why some cases don’t break until a second victim forces the system to look back.
