Celebrity Justice
"Moment of Truth" to Catch a Killer?

A well-placed source tells TMZ that reps for suspected wife killer Drew Peterson have contacted the producers of the new show "Moment of Truth," asking to hookup their client to a lie detector test on national television.

Peterson's fourth wife Stacey has been missing and presumed dead since last October. Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, was found dead in a bathtub in March 2004. At the time, her death was ruled accidental, but since Stacey's disappearance, Savio's body was exhumed for forensic examination and officials determined her death to be a "homicide staged to look like an accident."

Stacey's family has continually asked Drew to submit to a lie detector test -- which he has repeatedly refused to do, until now.

Peterson denies any involvement in Stacey's disappearance, insisting she left him for another man.

A FOX spokesperson had no comment.

31. He wouldn't be doing this unless he knew he could get around a lie detector.

33. This guy is nuttier than a fruitcake !! Someone, like his lawyer, better shut this guy up !! What happened to the "supposed" detective he hired to look for his wife??? Oh, yeah....he's with the "detectives" OJ and Scott Peterson hired to find the "real" killers - they're all in Key West drinkin Pina Colada's....LOL His cocky attitude is gonna get him in trouble. HE is gonna solve this case for the police - he WANTS to tell someone what he did and how he did it.!!! AND.....IF his wife, by the infinitely impossible chance, is still alive, then SHE better be locked up for all this bull crap !!

35. This guy is a complete liar. I live in the Chicagoland area and have followed this story since the beginning, partly because we couldn't get away from it. Anyway, this guy got away with murder once, his 3rd wife was said, by him, to have drowned in a waterless bathtub. At the time of her death, he was an active Bolingbrook PO and I'm guessing because he is such a jerk and in a position of power, they took him at his word. After her body had to be exhumed because of Stacy's disappearance the coroner found blood in her hair and trauma to her head. Why this wasn't found during the first autopsy? Because the exam was rushed and the coroner's conclusion was also, by none other than the Bolingbrook PD (DREW!!)

Now, not long ago there was a report on the nightly news that he found a text from Stacy's "lover" from the night before she went missing and in his diluted head he responded to it with a statement of... this explains where she went. I thought of it as...he got mad at her and he did something about it. This man is a perfect jerk. He has lied in the past and it seems he will lie and blame and point the finger at whomever he thinks can take the heat off of him.

His best friend has left him in the dust because he doesn't believe him. After that he went into hiding because he feared retaliation from Drew. From what I hear from the people who live in the neighborhood and know Drew, he has a terrible temper. His own dept is trying to bring him up on charges for shady dealings and misconduct during his employment.

He thinks he's getting away with this, so I can't wait until the day he becomes someone's bitch and is suffering for what he's done. He had the backing of the PD at first, but as this case goes on they are moving away from him and his cocky attitude towards this matter. He is an angry man and you can see that in how he is acting.

As much as I don't believe Stacy left with another man, if she did,........ RUN RUN RUN Drew is a lunatic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

36. I think he is a true sociopath. Even if he takes a test, he knows how to pass one. I feel sorry for his children---he keeps murdering their mothers.

37. HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE BELIEVE HE IS GUILTY OF MURDER???

NO BODY, NO EVIDENCE, NO CASE, THIS MAN IS INNOCENT!!!!

LOOK OJ'S CASE BODIES, MOTIVES, BLOOD EVIDENCE, ETC. AND THE MAN WAS FOUND INNOCENT!!!

38. That piece of slime is guilty of two murders as sure as today is Tuesday. Too bad he can't be hung immediately.

39. There's a special place reserved in hell for this man. He went on some radio show promoting some kind of Win a Date with Drew Peterson kind of deal. He's scum and I hope he gets what's coming to him.

40. This guy doesn't deserve a chance to sit in front of national television cameras and attempt to "redeem" himself for public opinion sake. People who watch and who go on that show are looking for attention...and not to mention they are idiots. This guy deserves a fate worse than death itself. How dare he continue to state that his wife just left him for another man. How many opportunities should this guy get to "play" the victim. And, how dare he call into a radio show and offer his dating services. He will get what is coming to him in the end.

41. Hey Numbnuts - OJ was found NOT GUILTY, not INNOCENT. In legal terms there is a HUGE difference between the two. Not guilty simply means the jury did not feel the prosecution proved their case. It does NOT MEAN HE IS INNOCENT.

42. A lie detector test would be wasted on Drew Peterson.If there's way to beat the test, he will know it. He knows all the tricks of the trade. They should spend more time on the third wife's murder. He wasn't as clever there.

43. That is the dumbest idea I've ever heard. A lie detector test isn't even remotely true. Anyone can pass it.

44. What galls me is this guy's ego. He really believes he's a lady's man, and has made comments like "I turn heads" (when he goes into a bar where women are). Nobody with two brain cells is buying his load of crap. Stacey would have showed up by now if she were alive. He must think we are all stupid to believe he had nothing to do with it. For a grieving husband, he sure loves the media spotlight. This guy makes me want to vomit.

45. This loser will find women wanting to date him just like Scott Peterson gets marriage offers in jail! Some women will do anything for attention, too!
