Drew Peterson Moved To A New Prison — Again

BOLINGBROOK, IL — Drew Peterson, the former Bolingbrook police sergeant in prison for the 2004 murder of ex-wife Kathleen Savio, has transferred prisons again.

Peterson, serving 38 years for Savio's murder plus another 40 years for attempting to hire someone to kill the Will County State's Attorney, was moved from maximum security Menard to the Terre Haute Federal Correctional Institution in Indiana in 2017.

Just more than a month after that transfer, Peterson was reportedly attacked by another inmate in the federal prison's chow hall. The former cop's attacker wanted to sell his belongings on eBay, according to federal prison authorities, who said Peterson was hit with a food tray but not badly hurt.

Now, the Illinois Department of Corrections says Peterson is no longer in federal custody and has been transferred to a state facility outside of Illinois, according to WJOL. His location has not been released for safety and security reasons.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons has Peterson listed as "released," saying he left federal custody on Dec. 6.

Peterson was convicted of Savio's murder in 2012. Four years later, while serving his sentence for his third wife's death, Peterson was convicted of conspiring to have Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow murdered.

Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, vanished in October 2007. She remains missing.
