Drew Peterson: I Wouldn't Trust Me, Either

Murder suspect says he understands fears of fiancée's family

(Newser) – Drew Peterson, divorced from wives No. 1 and 2 and suspected of killing wives No. 3 and 4, understands why the family of would-be wife No. 5 is none too pleased with their engagement, ABC reports. “I would have concerns if I were the friends and family of this young girl,” Peterson, 55, told Nightline, referring to 23-year-old fiancée Christina Raines.

Peterson plans to marry the waitress this year though he has not divorced missing wife Stacy; Raines and her two children moved in with Peterson and his four kids this month. His fiancée, at least, is in Peterson’s corner: “She says, ‘You treat me so good, there’s no way that you could’ve been involved in anything like this,'" the former cop said.

You are wrong, YouAreWrong. Maybe you are swayed when some loser throws money at you, but most people have more class than that

He looks like an abusive baggadouche. The murders only seal the deal.
