The Chicago Tribune reports Antonio Smith testified Monday that the ex-Bolingbrook sergeant referred to Stacy Peterson as a “dead woman” and discussed how to kill Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow.
Peterson has never been charged in Stacy Peterson’s disappearance and has maintained his innocence.
He’s serving a 38-year sentence in the 2004 death of ex-wife Kathleen Savio in a case that was reopened after Stacy Peterson went missing in 2007.
Peterson has pleaded not guilty in the current case and faces an additional 60 years in prison.
