I hope I am wrong. I hope he pays for the lives he has ruined and the ones it appears to me that he has taken.
I agree. Other than the second autopsy paid for by family (I'm not dismissive), theres no evidence.

I hate to say it, I see the egotistical and arrogant Drew Peterson walking.

Gives me cold chills.

Most of us are unable to identify a psychopath. They live amongst us and since their goal is to fool everyone into believing they are "the average person next door," we see what they want us to see (typically).

Well, here's a fine example -- in my mind -- of what a psychopath is like. Not all are as cocky as this guy -- at least not in public -- but the arrogance and belief that he is so smart he will figure out how to get around authorities . . . that is classic (as far as I am concerned).

Take a good look, folks! Psychologists estimate that there are over 1 million psychopaths walking around "out there" in the good of US of A. Another 1 million are estimated to be incarcerated.

News, Drew Peterson Choked Wife, Asked "Why Don't You Just Die?" Friend Testifies

Drew Peterson once grabbed his wife around her neck and asked, "Why don't you just die?" according to a friend of Kathleen Savio's who testified in Peterson's murder trial today.

Peterson, 58, is on trial for killing Savio, his third wife, and making it look like an accident. She was found dead in her bathtub in 2004 and the death was initially ruled an accidental drowning. After Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, vanished from their home in 2007, police exhumed Savio's body and reexamined it for signs of murder, finally charging Peterson.

we can only hope and pray.
In the Caylee case this didnt happen though, but perhaps there's still time for karma to work itself out, and the involved parties will have justice meted out to them by a higher power.

How did he attract these women? I mean, what did they see?? I feel empathy for them, regardless, they didn't know what a low-life he was/is.
