Fiancé’s Ex-Boyfriend a Stalker?

Drew Peterson confirmed in a taped interview with Derek Armstrong, author of Drew Peterson Exposed, that Bolingbrook Police visited his house at 5pm today, investigating a stalking report.

The ex boyfriend of Christina Raines, Drew Peterson's new 23-year-old fiancé, allegedly boasted about stalking the Peterson house last night. Raines' father Ernie was concerned enough to call the police, who checked on Peterson's welfare.


"This guy is insanely jealous," Peterson said in an exclusive taped interview with Derek Armstrong. "He won't leave her alone. A couple of nights ago he was abusive enough that she had to leave their shared apartment with her two children." Peterson also described an event about a month ago at a public bar where ex-boyfriend Mike physically pulled her away from Peterson. "He can get physical and he's definitely verbally abusive. He even stole the token ring I gave Chrissie when I proposed."

In an extensive taped interview-available to media for mandatory courtesy-he described their relationship, explained the situation with the ex-boyfriend and how Peterson suggested she consider and "order of protection" against her ex. The situation is further complicated by the fact that Mike works as a bartender in same workplace as Chistina Raines.

"I am delighted to know her father was concerned about my safety," Peterson said, at one point. "He may not agree fully with our relationship, but he did the right thing."

When asked if he was concerned about the ex, Drew sounded non-chalant: "I've been threatened before. I'm not worried about me. But I need to make sure he stays away from Chrissie." He mentioned he would start picking her up at work or loan her one of his cars to make sure she gets around safely without harassment. "For the time-being she's safe with a family member with her kids."
