Peterson’s step-brother, Thomas Morphey, broke his silence to share details about the day Peterson’s wife Stacey disappeared. The Joliet Herald News reported yesterday that Morphey helped Drew Peterson remove a large blue barrel out of Petersen’s home that Morphey believes may have contained Stacey’s body. He says the guilt he feels in playing a role that day has forced him to step forward.
