Drew Peterson's next-door neighbors, past and present, appeared before a grand jury Thursday to give testimony about his missing fourth wife and his dead third one.
Thomas Pontarelli, who lived next to Peterson and third wife Kathleen Savio on Pheasant Chase Drive, was the first to testify. He was followed by Sharon Bychowski, who lives next to Peterson at his current home on Pheasant Chase Court, mere blocks from his former residence.
Bychowski said witnesses were present for both the cases of Savio, who was the victim of a March 2004 bathtub drowning, and Stacy Peterson, Drew Peterson's fourth wife who has been missing for more than two months.
Bychowski, who was close to Stacy Peterson and has helped keep the missing mother's case in the national spotlight, said she spent about an hour in the grand jury room and is scheduled to return Jan. 24. She declined to discuss her testimony.
Another witness, Bruce Zidarich, said he was sent home before taking the stand because the session was running too long. Zidarich, a friend of Stacy and her sister, Cassandra Cales, said the volunteer efforts to find Stacy have stalled somewhat.
Pontarelli's wife reportedly was one of the first to find Savio's body, which was doubled over in a waterless bathtub.
