Hit Man to Testify in Ex-Cop's Trial For Murder of Fourth Wife

Drew Peterson was also suspected of killing his third wife

|


Witnesses today include Jeff Pachter, who is expected to testify that Drew Peterson allegedly offered him $25,000 to find someone to kill Kathleen Savio in 2003.

Pachter, who worked with Peterson at his job as a cable outfitter, said during a pretrial hearing that he went on ride along with the Bolingbrook police sergeant in November 2003 at Peterson's request. During the ride, Peterson—who knew Pachter had a gambling problem—offered to pay him $25,000 to find someone to kill Savio.
