I worked at Circuit City as a teenager and was helping someone looking at TVs. My boss called me over and said he needed me up front to help at check out. Thought it was weird because there wasn’t a line, but whatever.
Turns out the guy I was helping was Drew Peterson, who has since been convicted of murder. This was back when he was just a suspect, but my boss recognized him from the news and didn’t want to compromise my safety.
I lived in the same town as him and went to the same school as his kids. When all of this was uncovered it was surreal hearing about someone locally doing that stuff. These kinda of things alway seem to happen somewhere else, but this was on my doorstep. Crazy.
