Maybe you've heard of the strange tale of Drew Peterson and his wife, Stacy. Stacy, 30 years Drew's younger, has been missing since the fall, and police consider Peterson to be the prime suspect. When the case first broke, a media gaggle camped outside Peterson's home, recording his every movement. He provided great soundbites and indulged the press, while pretending to be irritated by their presence.
This guy. He courts the media and makes himself look like a spotlight-seeking buffoon, trivializing his wife's disappearance. He's been on the Today show twice, he cut off an interview with Fox News' Shepard Smith, he mugs for the camera, and most audaciously called into Chicago radio host Steve Dahl's program, proposing a dating show.
Clearly, Peterson is enjoying his moment in the spotlight. It's hard to tell how much he's mourning the loss of his wife.
On another note, one suburban Chicago paper, the Bolingbrook Reporter, has dedicated a blog to coverage of the Peterson case. It's a pretty unique way to dedicate resources to a case that is big in its readership area.
