(PRNewsChannel) / Chicago, Ill. / In Illinois, authorities seem to be struggling to bring an indictment against Drew Peterson—once the most talked about crime story—while in the current "most talked about" crime story evidence mounts against Casey Anthony in the suspected homicide of her daughter Caylee.
An interview by author Derek Armstrong with one of the possible witnesses against Drew Peterson, presumed to be a key state witness should charges ever be brought against Peterson, may offer a partial explanation for the slow progress in Illinois.
In a new interview, Pastor Neil Schori tells the author of 'Drew Peterson Exposed' that he worries for the safety of his family because of what he knows.
"If Drew did murder two wives, he's certainly not going to hesitate in doing something bad to anyone else," Pastor Neil Shori tells Armstrong in an exclusive taped interview.
It’s his first major interview since speaking to Greta Van Susteren on Fox’s ‘On the Record’ program.
Pastor Schori is a possible key witness against Drew Peterson under Illinois’ recently adopted Hearsay Statute.
Neil Schori speaking candidly for nearly an hour, says "this is challenging for me and my family because this puts us at some risk... You know, we live 15 minutes away."
He says he believes Drew Peterson killed Kathleen Savio: "Oh I, I believe he's guilty, absolutely," so much so he told of how he had to track down Sergeant Collins at the Illinois State Police because he "didn't get back to me right away, and I thought, good grief, I've got some stuff I really have to share, but they haven't called me back."
When asked by Armstrong if he believed Peterson would be charged, Schori said, "Ah, there are some days I think so and some days I don't. It's been 13 months. It's hard to say. I would have thought it would have occurred by now." Rather ominously, Schori added later in the interview that he felt certain Drew Peterson would marry again "and be a risk to his future wife," if charges are not forthcoming.
'Drew Peterson Exposed' is distributed by Independent Publishers Group.
