Video here..Drew Peterson says he understands why his future fifth wife's loved ones are concerned for her safety. But Peterson, who is a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife Stacy and the death of his third wife Kathleen Savio in their Bolingbrook, Ill., home, said that "I'm a good guy."
Peterson's first two wives have complained about him being very controlling and, before her disappearance, Stacy allegedly told her minister that Peterson confessed to killing Savio.
"All of which didn't happen," Peterson told "Nightline" in his first interview since his engagement. "But I will acknowledge that I would have concerns if I was the friends and family of this young girl.
Watch the story tonight on "Nightline" at 11:35 p.m. ET
"She likes me. She likes me a lot," he said of his fiancée Christina Raines, 23. "I'm good to her and I treat her better than she's ever been treated."
Despite still being legally married to Stacy, Peterson, 55, says he is OK with getting remarried and is deeply in love. The couple haven't yet set a date, but Peterson says they'll wed this year. In the state of Illinois, Peterson can be granted a divorce on the basis of abandonment and is free to remarry if Stacy Peterson doesn't respond to a court submission within 30 days.

........Peterson cites challenges in keeping a romance going. He lost interest, he tells "Nightline," when "there was no excitement in the marriage anymore."
And what is he attracted to? "I'm basically attracted to young, beautiful women with good personalities," he says.
I guess that statement could also serve as a warning............ +0 ...

He admits that he doesn't blame her loved ones for being worried? Is that like a warning to them, that when something happens to her, he can say, "I told you so"??

Does this girl have a death wish?
I haven't been keeping up with ole Drew I guess because I can stomach his.. However I do believe that I read somewhere that she has kids and they are moving in with them..What's the story with their father? Is he not worried about the kids.Is he not trying to take them from the mother? God help um.

written by MsGurl, 10:40:29 am MST What's the story with their father?
Sounds like the ex husband is just another loser. there was a thread with his picture on it a couple days ago.............below is from that thread
Yauk - the purported father of the two children of Drew Peterson's latest love interest - was taken into custody after failing to appear for a court date ordered as part of his guilty plea to a 2006 domestic battery.
The plea deal saw Yauk, 26, sentenced to 26 days in the county jail. He also was fined, ordered to attend domestic battery counseling and forbidden to make "offensive contact" with the victim of the battery, who happens to be 24-year-old Christina Raines, reportedly Peterson's fiancee. +0 ...

As awful as drew looks this young girl might have a chance at becoming a widow instead of another victim. The bags around his eyes and puffiness portray a man that drinks too much and parties too hard. He must have to keep those young girls high to keep them interested.

This newest conquest of Drew's came from a marriage with an abusive husband. Drew can turn the charm on and the fact that he is financially secure helps him latch onto these young girls. He probably looks like a good catch.

What I don't get is what these women see in this man? I mean, ewe! He is not even attractive. I would hate to think I had to look at that every morning, ewe! I can't even imagine him being financially secure enough for me to even have dinner with him.

Shae ~ I couldn't agree with you more,...I wouldn't want dinner or anything else with this guy !...But I think BJ hit the nail on the head. Christina has been in an abusive relationship, seems insecure and a bit naive...she also has two children to raise. She found some stability and financial security with Drew probably cause he is saying everything she wants to hear and treats her decently for the first time in her life.....which is his sick way to subtlety control her at first.
BUT he makes my skin crawl just to look at him and if you ever saw his arrogance on TV... it would make you scream at Christina at the top of your lungs that she picked the WRONG GUY...I hope she wakes up before it is too late !

Have any of you known girls/women that hook up with with a scumbag and even admitted that he was a jerk to his previous love interests but blamed his abusive actions on the women he was with...............they didn't understand him but I DO and no one gave him what he needed to feel like a real man but I WILL and on and on and on......... This girl most likely thinks that she will be the one that will love him enough and he will love her ENOUGH to not repeat his past transgressions. She is the one that knows what was missing in his previous relationships and she will give him all of that and more......and it will be like Heaven

This was the first crime case I followed through websites and blogs. I live near Bolingbrook, too, so it got huge coverage here. I think what we've learned about KC's psychological pathology as far as narcissism and sociopathy apply perfectly here. It was immediatley obvious that he had felt on grief or loss at her "disappearance." His arrogance, I believe, stems from his belief that he knows the legal system inside and out and he will never be charged. He enjoys a sick sort of celebrity status at singles bars in his area -- it's sick.
He's found that sweeping these young or vulnerable women off their feet with big romantic gestures and showering them with attention plays to their low self-esteem and dazzles them. Also, in Stacy's case, she wanted nothing more than a ready-made stable family because of the trauma and chaos she'd grown up with.
The lucky women who survived to divorce him or break off relationships, reported abusive and controlling behaviors as well as flaunting his police authority with threats that he could kill them and make it look like an accident. There are several questionable "suicides" from the past that have connections with Drew as well. For many years Bolingbrook was a little village and he was part of a very small and tight police department -- who knows what he got away with in the past? He is a sexual predator and a murderer.

This man has a very public history. Are you telling me that this new nove interest doesn't know his history? She's apparently left an abusive man - why on Gods green earth would she hook up with another man whose been accused of killing two wives?
Then you take a look at her ex - he is no prize. She's 23? What? there aren't any fellows close to her age she could date? Something isn't right with this girl, uneducated? Mental defect? I dunno, but to shack up with a man with this much suspicion, and to bring your children into it, there's just gotta be something off about her.

Drew Peterson's Fiancee Moves Out After Father Issues Ultimatum
.......The couple has broken up. Peterson, 54, blames her father and the press.
"This is what the media always does to me," Armstrong quoted Peterson as saying. "As soon as the story got out on Chrissy, I knew it would be a problem for us."
Peterson admitted that his appearance on ABC's Nightline Thursday didn't help the situation.
In the segment, Peterson told the reporter, "I'd be wary of me too" when asked about Christina Raines' family and said that "when the romance is gone" in his relationships, he tends to have flings and move on.
The comments sparked a fight between the couple, Armstrong said. Christina Raines returned the engagement ring and a cell phone......... +0
