BOLINGBROOK, Ill., Jan. 29 (UPI) -- Drew Peterson, the ex-Illinois cop whose wife, Stacy, has disappeared, is apparently enough of a celebrity to be a selling point on eBay.
The Chicago Tribune reported Tuesday that Peterson items have turned up on the online auction bazaar, including copies of news publications and even the old window frames from his house.
Brian Lajewski lives in a Bolingbrook house once occupied by Peterson and told the Trib he put the window frames on eBay "as a joke" when he replaced them earlier this month.
"I just thought as a joke it would be funny to put them on eBay to see if there are obsessed people because of all the media attention it's been getting," said Lajewski. "It pokes fun at different people who would want to buy it."
Meantime, not everyone sees humor in Drew Peterson's situation. The Joliet Herald-News said Tuesday that Peterson received a threatening letter warning him that the women who supposedly have been making romantic overtures to him were probably setting him up to kill or injure him.
Peterson has not been charged in connection with his wife's disappearance.
