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.

Your family knows u are a coward. Your children know u are a coward. The world knows u are a coward. You cant control your women, Drew. Even they knew u were a coward. Only a coward tries so hard to make women fear them. We are laughing at you Drew.

DREW PETERSON IS GUILTY! WTF IS WRONG WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? GRANTED THERE IS NO PROVERBIAL SMOKING GUN JUST YET....BUT I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY HE IS WAY MORE THEN JUST A PERSON OF INTEREST.
HE IS THE ONLY ONE WITH THE BASIC CRITERIA NEEDED TO COMMITT THE CRIME....M.O.M. OR DID U ALL FORGET THAT PART WHEN YOU WENT THROUGH THE ACADEMY?
MEANS, OPPORTUNITY, MOTIVE? COME ON GUYS....YOU CANT BE SERIOUS? THIS IS POLICE WORK 101

I am sorry to say ,that I too believe she has been murdered. I have, however, given this some thought. Do you think it is possible that Drew scared her so much - that she ran, fearing for her life? She supposedly knew about the Savio murder. Perhaps DP knows underworld figures who helped him in some way. If Stacey knew that he definately would have no problem getting rid of her, don't you think she might run? She might be waiting for him to be charged, and convicted in the Savio case. She would then get her children back. Maybe she threatened him with telling about Savio, and he came back in such a powerful way ,that she didn't even know if she could stay alive through the day. (and took off) If this could all be true, I wish she would come forward in some safe way. (If there is a safe way, there may not be, who knows)-----------If Drew gets the lie detector test, shouldn't they also question him about Savio?

Drew is a pathological liar. We all in IL know he did it. And to see all the attention he gets is absurd!
We need to focus on the real victim here: Stacy and the children. I shudder to think they are with the man.

This gives a bad name to law inforcement especially the buddys who covered up the mess of the last dead wife

IMO Drew is a true sociopath, and will easily pass this test.

That will never happen. Regardless of if he's innocent or guilty.

As theorized on another blog site, most likely, Drew P. has NO INTENTION of ever taking a lie detector test!
He just wants to be able to say (at his trial, hopefully there WILL be one) ..."Hey, I OFFERED to take a lie detector test!"
Just thinks we're all a bunch of fools who believe he MIGHT be telling the truth. But, we all know better.

It's sad that his poor wife is probably buried somewhere or in a container or storage unit decomposing and this ass$%^ happens to be a cop that has spent 30 years on the other side of murder investigations, so he knows how to hide a body very well. Without a body, there is little evidence to convict him and he knows it.
The poor kids from BOTH marriages are the ones who really suffer and this jerk simply tells them that their mother "ran off and abandoned the marraige". He was having an affair with Stacey while married to the one who ended up dead in her bathtub right after they divorced.
He reminds me of OJ Simpson.

I have wondered that but I don't think so he couldn't say she drowned in the tub because he did that with the first wife. I also think he had help...Does anyone remember the culberson case where they have not found her body after all these years and her bf and uncle were convicted...no body it was the first case ever to win without a body...

Would be great if he could go on this show, then star in a real-life version of The Running Man and get hunted down!

Drew is so disgusting! I am sure he is just looking for another way to get media attention! I cannot wait for them to just throw his ugly ass in jail and charge him with the murder of wife # 3 or Stacey. All of America knows he did it... I'm sure he did it because she finally woke up one day and realized she was waaaayyy too pretty for his ugly, fat, nasty, old ass.. He killed her because he would rather have her dead and under his control than alive and with someone else. He is gross and he is going to hell!
