Drew Peterson to Marry Unknown 23 Year Old Woman; Marks First Time Wedding Is Registered At Both Bloomingdale's and the FBI's Missing Persons Database Simultaneously

Drew Peterson is, of course, suspected complicit in his third wife's murder and his fourth wife's disappearance.

I'll give his bride-to-be props: A lot of songs claim it, but she really is willing to die for love.

Drew Peterson, 54, recently proposed to his 23-year-old girlfriend of four months, his publicist confirmed to ABCNews.com, but he will not reveal her identity in an attempt to shield her from the media.

"Yes, Peterson is engaged," said Glenn Selig, Drew Peterson's publicist, who added the proposal occurred "in the past few days." "But we're not saying to who. He's entitled to his privacy and so is she."

Drew Peterson garnered media attention after his wife, Stacy Peterson, 24, went missing Oct. 28, 2007. He was widely criticized for his blase attitude toward his wife's disappearance, even alleging to the press that his wife's PMS had led her to run off with another man.

Drew Peterson told ABC News in an interview last year that the search for Stacy Peterson was a "waste of time."

On the anniversary of Stacy Peterson's disappearance, Drew Peterson told ABC's "Good Morning America" that he hopes she one day turns up.

"I hope someday she pops her head up and shows herself," he said.

...

But because Drew Peterson is still legally married to Stacy Peterson, a divorce will be necessary before he can set a date to walk down the aisle with his mystery bride.

"He's legally married still," said Selig, "so I guess in order to get remarried he'll need to get a divorce first."

According to the Chicago Tribune, Drew Peterson met with a high-profile divorce attorney to look into how to get granted a divorce on the basis of abandonment.

Extreme abandonment.

In lieu of flowers, well-wishers are asked to send quicklime, bleach, and a bone saw. And also, another wife.
