Things That Make You Wonder...

I have been watching the news reports of the search for the missing young woman, Stacey Peterson and the thought occurred to me: it's dangerous to be married to a man who has the surname of Peterson.

First there was Scott Peterson who was convicted of killing the beautiful, radiant Laci, then there was Michael Peterson who was convicted of killing the cherished, vivacious Kathleen, and now there's Drew Peterson, who hasn't been convicted of anything yet. Tick Tock. Drew Petersen's wives have a way of not living their full lifespan. Oh, and he had a wife named Kathleen too. Hmmm....

It's a common name. In the Scott Peterson case, the person who sold Scott the boat AND the doctor who examined the bodies were both also named Peterson. However Drew Peterson seems to be an exception to the rule that Petersons are likely to be wrongly convicted: the Michael Peterson conviction seems dubious and Scott Peterson was wrongly convicted in an atmosphere of hatred. Consider:

A visibly pregnant woman vanishes from her home. No signs of a crime can be found - anywhere - ever.
Her body turns up four months later, found on the shore of San Francisco Bay, a place where many other bodies have been dumped.
Her uterus has been cut open by someone unskilled in medical procedures.
The fetus and the placenta are both missing.
Some distance away, the body of her child is also found.
He shows no signs of prematurity, he is full term and and he is not curled up in the fetal position.
The fetal cord has been crudely cut.
A piece of twine has been double knotted around his neck, not to harm him but to keep his body wrapped in plastic bags to protect it. One of the bags is found nearby.
The mother is wearing underwear with a wear pattern which shows she has worn it for the whole period of her abduction (111 days).
Her clothes are still on her body, something which could not happen unless they were retied after the baby was removed. It also shows she was in the water for a day or two at most.
Her uterus is two to three weeks post partum, showing that she lived at least that long after the baby was removed from her body.
Although the body of the mother is simply discarded in the sea, either from the Albany Bulb or more likely from Point Isabel, the body of the baby is carefully laid on the shore at Point Isabel so it can be found and buried. This is clearly the work of someone who cared for the baby.

What part of this does NOT look like a failed fetus napping, where both mother and child have died?

Thank you for your comment.

You have obviously done quite a bit of research and you have introduced some interesting points.
