[Feb 23, 2009] BOLINGBROOK, Ill. (CBS) ―He may be a key witness in the investigation of Stacy Peterson. On the night she disappeared, Tom Morphey claimed he helped Drew Peterson move a barrel into the former Bolingbrook police sergeant's truck. The next day, Tom tried to kill himself, but survived. Tom isn't talking to the media. But his brother John is - only with CBS 2's Mike Puccinelli.

Tom Morphey is the man who says he helped Drew Peterson carry a barrel from his upstairs bedroom into a truck. A barrel that investigators believe contained the body of Stacy Peterson. Tom Morphey has been ordered not to talk by investigators so his brother John is speaking for him.

Puccinelli: "What did your brother tell you about that night and what he did?

John Morphey: "He thought he helped dispose of Stacy's dead body in a blue barrel."

That was on October 28, 2007 - the last day Stacy Peterson was seen alive.

Puccinelli: "What made him think Stacy was inside that barrel?

John Morphey: "He said he just knew."

John Morphey says his brother has no idea where Drew Peterson drove with the barrel.

Puccinelli: "Does your brother think Drew murdered Stacy.

John Morphey: "He doesn't think - he knows."
