12-years after stacy peterson’s disappearance her sister is helping others, but still searching cassandra cales visits with families of missing persons at cold case squad october meeting by mark gregory editorial director

@Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com On the eve of the 12-year anniversary of the day Stacy Peterson disappeared, her sister, Cassandra Cales, was at the Bolingbrook Community Center to help others search for missing loved ones. Peterson, the then 23-year-old Bolingbrook mother of two, went missing On Oct. 27, 2007. Cales, who has never given up her search, donned a purple TShirt with a photo of Stacy as she was on hand to meet with families going through their own searches. The gathering was part of the

October meeting of the Community Cold Case Squad, Bolingbrook – an organization that started in January to help those looking for missing loved ones and Cales wants to be able to use what she has gone through to assist others. “It is taking the bad that I have gone through and making it positive for people who are in the same situation as me and offer them advice, talk to them or just listen to them. I am there to help in any way I can,” Cales said. “When it happened to me, I was alone. I am still alone, but I have figured out how to get the resources I need. In the beginning, I didn’t even know what sonar was – I thought it was

a lot of people are afraid of going public or reaching out to me, they think they are bothering me because I have my sister’s case. I am a people helper, and stacy was, too. a fish finder and I can’t catch a fish for the life of me. Now, I can read sonar, I know all about cadaver dogs. Knowledge is power.” Throughout her search, Cales learned how to get the equipment and resources she needed when she hit roadblocks. “You are going to run into road blocks and dead ends, but you just

turn and keep going. Just because law enforcement does their thing, it doesn’t mean we can’t do ours,” she said. “A lot of people are afraid of going public or reaching out to me, they think they are bothering me because I have my sister’s case. I am a people helper, and Stacy was, too. I never have cared what people think about me or anything. I don’t go on in the media to be a movie star – believe me, when I am on TV, you don’t realize what is going on inside. I am having a panic attack, it is not fun for me, it is just to keep the awareness and let people know I am still fighting for my loved one. If people are afraid, they can call me and I will help them.” While she is helping others, Cales does not plan to stop looking for Stacy – event after 12 years

or despite the fact that the man they suspect killed her, former Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson, is in prison for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, as well as soliciting the murder of James Glasgow, the Will County prosecutor who put him behind bars. “I am not going to give up,” Cales said. “You never lose hope, you stay positive and keep going and if it overwhelms you, don’t think about months ahead of time, I take it one day at a time, one step at a time and if that gets to be too much – one breath at a time. “People will remember Stacy and me for centuries – I will make sure of it. I am really close to bringing her home. It is about to happen and it is going to be really big.”

devIl’s descent

Jeff Mudgett speaks about his greatgreat grandfather, H.H. Holmes

author of ‘bloodstains’ was keynote author at white oak author fest by mark gregory editorial director

@Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com Imagine you are a direct descendent of the devil himself. For Jeff Mudgett, there is no need to imagine. For the first 40 years of his life Mudgett, a California lawyer and former Commander in the U.S. Naval Reserve, knew he wasn’t like everyone else. “I didn’t know who I was, I didn’t know why I had strange feelings,” Mudgett said Oct. 19 at the White Oak Library Author Fest, where he was the featured author. “I knew the emotions most people carried in their life and the sympathies they had weren’t natural to me. They were something I had to build into my life because I wanted to be like everyone else, but I didn’t have them. “I never walked around with a need to kill someone, but I knew I was different. There is a little psychopath in all of us, but we control it.” His questions of why he was different were answered more than 20 years ago when Mudgett found out he is the great-great grandson of H.H. Holmes – America’s first serial killer. He learned the secret at a family gathering. His grandmother, who was fascinated with family genealogy, was talking about her theory that they were related Gen. Robert E. Lee when his grandfather broke his silence of 60 years. “There were about 17 of us that night at my grandparents home in Itascadero, Ca. We are a little bit of a ruckus family,” Mudgett said. “My grandfather was a very stoic man and he sat and listened to my grand-

PHOTOS COURTESY OF JEFF MUDGETT

Jeff mudgett, above, spoke at the white oak library author fest about his research and book about his great-great grandfather, h.h. holmes america’s first serial killer.

I decided to research his life instead of running away like my family had for 100 years. my life (as a lawyer) was investigation and solving mysteries and this was dumped in my lap and I am not the kind of person to run from this. mother talk until he had enough and he slammed his chair against the wall, the picture came down – I can still hear the crash and he told her she was wrong and he had a secret he had kept to himself – that we were related to H.H. Holmes. I will never forget that he never took his eyes off me. This wasn’t for my cousins or my brother or sister or my dad – he was speaking to me.” Holmes, who’s birth name was Herman Webster Mudgett, was born roughly a month after the Civil War broke out to an affluent family in Gilmanton, NH. He married his first wife, Clara, in New Hampshire in 1878, had a son, but he eventually

abandoned them and left for Chicago. In 1887, he married his second of three wives, Myrta Belknap, and lived in Wilmette. Holmes killed many of his victims in a mixed-use building he owned in Chicago in the late 1800s – less than five miles from the site of the 1893 World’s Fair. The building became known as the Murder Castle. “This is a guy that graduated with a doctorate degree from the University of Michigan, he had an IQ off the charts,” Mudgett said. “He could have been a Louis Pasteur if he wanted to. He was walking around the World’s Fair with Tesla and Edison and the Wright Brothers. He could have been

designing medicine, instead he was on the prowl for innocent victims.” It is believed that Holmes may have been responsible for up to 200 murders in the United States, but Mudgett believes he was also responsible for at least one murder in England that was attributed to Jack the Ripper. That theory spawned the 2017 History Channel show ‘American Ripper.’ The show traced Mudgett’s journey into the mind of his great-greatgrandfather and his goal to prove America’s first serial killer was Jack the Ripper. “In my opinion, we have solved that,” Mudgett said. “I had interesting conversations with Scotland Yard and

they have admitted they knew there was a copycat for decades. (Holmes) was Jack the Ripper because he was the one that wrote the ‘Dear Boss’ letter and coined the phrase. On the show, there were two linguists who said the letter was written by an educated American trying to sound British. It is my theory that Holmes wrote Dear Boss and murdered Catherine Eddowes. There were already two murders before that. The Mary Kelly murder after had no similar M.O. at all. “History has allowed for 130 years, Jack the Ripper to be the killer of five women in London. They are starting to realize now that it was not one man.” The ‘Dear Boss’ letter was penned in red ink and received by the Central News Agency of London in September of 1888 where the killer gave himself the now famous moniker. Mudgett also wrote the book, “Bloodstains” a book based on the true story of Mudgett finding out who he was related to and the direction his life took from that day forward. “Imagine being told that and then having to absorb that in a short amount of time,” Mudgett said. “I decided to research his life instead of running away like my family had for 100 years. My life (as a lawyer) was investigation and solving mysteries and this was dumped in my lap and I am not the kind of person to run from this.” Mudgett is in discussion about two more television shows as well as a feature film on his life and how he has dealt with the horrifying secret. He is also trying to explore the grounds of Holmes infamous murder castle, located at South Wallace and 63rd streets in Chicago, now the location of the Englewood Post Office. The murder castle was a boobytrapped former hotel with soundproof rooms, secret passages and a disorienting maze of hallways and staircases. The rooms were outfitted with trapdoors and chutes that dropped Holmes’ victims to the building’s basement, which housed vats of acid, a crematorium, and other ways to dispose of bodies. “We are trying to get the (federal government) to allow us excavate the ground,” Mudgett said of digging on Post Office property. “We have a TV interest that will pay for it if they can film as we do it, but it is the feds, so I don’t know if they will allow it.” While it is a wait-and-see game for Mudgett’s target of unearthing remnants of the murder castle, but no matter the outcome, he will never stop trying to uncover secrets and stories of his most notorious relative.

prevIew bolingbrook earns no. 21 seed in the Ihsa class 8a playoffs

by mark gregory editorial director

@Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com The IHSA playoffs open this weekend and 13 Enterprise Newspapers teams advanced to the second season, including Class 8A No. 1 seed Minooka. Locally, three teams advnace as the two Southwest Prairie Conference Division champions meet up in Minooka and Joliet Catholic looks for back to back titles.

No. 32 Joliet West @ No. 1 Minooka Friday, Nov. 1 - 7 p.m. In Class 8A, the No. 32 seed Tigers are the lone 4-5 team in the field, getting in the postseason because of winning the Southwest Prairie Conference East Division. West, Plainfield East and Plainfield South all had 4-1 league records and the Tigers held the tiebreaker of fewest points allowed in the head-to-head games. The conference title is the first for the Tigers in 50 years and they

become first 4-5 8A conference champion in the two decades of the eight-class system. Minooka, on the other hand, ran the table, posting a perfect 9-0 record on the season and winning the SPC West. Of Minooka’s nine opponents this season, seven are headed to the playoffs. The Indians scored an average of 34.3 points per game this year and have allowed 9.3 – the fifth best defensive output in Class 8A. West had six of its opponents make the playoffs this season. The Tigers have scored 19.2 points per game on the season, the fewest in 8A and have allowed 17.6 points per contest. As a program, Joliet West has never won a playoff game, posting an 0-3 record in three appearances. The last time the Tigers were in the postseason was 2017. For Minooka, it is the 18th playoff appearance in school history and third straight. In the school lore, Minooka is 14-17 overall in

No 19 Barrington @ No. 14 Notre Dame Saturday, Nov. 2 - 4 p.m. The Dons were on a roll to open the season, winning their first seven games. Over the last two weeks without the services of senior running back Julian Schurr, Notre Dame fell in the final two weeks and finished the season 7-2, but still earned home game in the playoffs. It is the Dons’ fifth consecutive trip to the postseason and 20th overall, posting a record of 15-19 over the years. Even without Schurr the past two games, junior quarterback and ND have averaged 22.3 points per game. Five of the Notre Dame opponents are in the playoffs this year. The defense has been a key for

Thursday, October 31, 2019 | buglenewspapers.com the Dons this season, as ND has allowed only 9.4 points per game on average this season. Barrington comes into the playoffs with a 6-3 record and only three of its opponents advanced to the playoffs this year. The Broncos have scored on average of 26.7 points per game this season and allowed 9.8 this season. They have advanced to the playoffs a total of 25 times, this year being the seventh-straight season. In their history, Barrington has an overall postseason record of 26-24.

No. 18 Loyola @ No. 15 Maine South Saturday, Nov. 2 - 7 p.m. As it has several times in its history, Maine South is in the playoffs after dropping its first two games of the season. This year, those losses came to Mt. Carmel and Glenbard West, a pair of teams that ended the season undefeated. Glenbard West is the No. 2

overall seed in Class 8A, while Mt. Carmel is No. 1 in Class 7A, so while only three opponents have made the playoffs, to say the Hawks are battle tested is an understatement. Despite battling injuries this season, Maine South has scored an average of 31.8 points per game, the 10th most in Class 8A. The Hawk defense has allowed only 16.0 points per contest. The playoff appearance is the 28th consecutive trip for Maine South, the most of any team in the state of Illinois. Maine South has been to the postseason a total of 35 times in school history. South has six state championships three runner-up showings in school lore. Loyola, who was upset by Marist in week 7, finished the year 7-2. The Ramblers are in the postseason for the 30th time in school history and 17th consecutive and have made the state finals eight

times, winning three times. Six of Loyola’s opponents this season are in the IHSA playoffs. The Ramblers have scored an average of 31.0 points per game and allowed 11.3.

No. 20 Plainfield North @No. 13 Fremd Friday, Nov. 1 - 7:30 p.m. After winning their first four games, the Tigers dropped four of the last six, including a 31-7 loss to Yorkville in week 9. It is the eighth time Plainfield North is in the playoffs and first time in two years. The Tigers have an overall 5-7 postseason record. Five of the North opponents qualified for the playoffs. Under first-year coach Anthony Imbordino, the Tigers averaged 25.8 points per game and held their opponents to 13.6. Fremd comes in 7-2 on the season and averaged 21.8 points for and 12.6 points against this season. It is Fremd’s 28th consecutive time in the playoffs, but only its second-straight appearance. “We are excited to return to the playoffs,” Imbordino said. “Fremd is a great opponent, well coached, stout defense, weapons on offense “We need to make minimal mistakes, execute our game plan and play Tiger Football.”

It is Warren’s third consecutive trip the playoffs and 28th overall appearance. The Bengals are 5-4 and are in the postseason for the third time overall and the first time since 2014. Five of East’s opponents are in the playoffs. On the season, the Bengals have averaged 25.9 points per game and have allowed 23.4 points per contest. The 2.4 point per game differential is the third lowest in Class 8A.

No. 30 Plainfield South @ No. 3 Lincoln-Way East Friday, Nov. 1 - 6 p.m. A week 8 loss to Joliet West allowed the Tigers to get in the playoffs and robbed South of the conference championship. It also bought the Cougars a date with Lincoln-Way East, one of the top programs in the state. South advanced to the playoffs for the second-straight season and seventh time in school history. The Griffins have never missed the postseason in their 19 years in existence. This season, Lincoln-Way East has a 9-0 record and has averaged 34.3 points per game and has allowed only 6.7 points per contest. The Cougars have averaged 26.3 points per game this season and have allowed 22.1.

No. 21 Bolingbrook @ No. 12 Hinsdale Central Saturday, Nov. 2 - 6 p.m.

No. 31 Downers Grove South @ No. 2 Glenbard West Saturday, Nov. 2 - 1 p.m.

An upset loss to Andrew in week 9 saw Bolingbrook finish the season with a 6-2 record, only losing to Homewood-Flossmoor and state power Lincoln-Way East the first eight weeks. This season, the Raider defense has allowed only 11.6 points per game, while scoring 27.2, while 8-1 Hinsdale Central has scored 29.3 and allowed 13.0. This is the 31st overall trip to the postseaosn for the Raiders, tied for secondwith Oswego and behind only Maine South’s 35 in 8A. It is the third-straight trip for Bolingbrook. It is the ninth year in a row the Red Devils are in the postseason, and 24th in school history.

A loss to cross-town rival Downers Grove North put the Mustangs at 5-4 and the No. 31 seed and a date with, on paper, the second most prolific offense, averaging 46.0 points per game. Warren’s defense allows only 7.4 points per contest. Only two of the Mustang opponents are in the playoffs this season, compared to only three for the Hilltoppers. Downers Grove South is in the postseason for the first time since 2014 and the 30th time in school history. The Mustangs averaged 24.7 points per game this season and have allowed 15.2 points. “Glenbard West is a whole different level, but I feel great about our defense, we just need to do some things on offense. We are young and we are figuring things out. I think we have a chance to be really, really good next year, but we will get everything we can out of this,” said South coach Mark Molinari.

No. 29 Plainfield East @ No. 4 Warren Saturday, Nov. 2 - 6 p.m. The Bengals got in the playoffs with a 5-4 record and travel to Gurnee to take on 9-0 Warren – the team on paper with the best defense in Class 8A, allowing on average of only 2.3 points per game. The Blue Devils also score an average of 36.4 points per contest.

Once those things are out of the way, pump every spare dollar you can into your emergency fund. And remember, limit your spending to necessities only! Start working on that now, Thomas. It’s very important. Remember the old saying about Murphy’s Law, and how anything that can go wrong will go wrong? If you keep living without a plan and no emergency fund, Murphy will hunt you down!

pany. We’ve been thinking about going back to school and finishing our degrees, because our employer is willing to pay for up to 10 credit hours, plus books, per semester with no strings attached. My parents think we should get student loans instead, so we can finish faster. We both have less than two years to go to complete our degrees, so what do you think?

Wow, this is a fantastic opportunity! How many times does someone offer to pay for a college degree with no financial strings attached? I’m sure your folks want what’s best for you, but the truth is you probably couldn’t take more than nine or 10 hours per semester, work

full-time jobs, and keep your relationship and marriage healthy. If you’ve both got less than two years of school left, it’s not going to take that long, anyway. You’re still young and have plenty of time to make this happen. I don’t think your parents mean any harm, but they’re wrong on this one. I’ve got a feeling they’re like most people in America today. They’ve spent most of their lives swimming in debt, and they’ve reached a point where they’ve just accepted it and think there’s no other way. To me, that’s sad. If you and your husband really want to finish your degrees, I’d say the two of you need to march into work tomorrow morning, and take advantage of that wonderful offer. Stay away from debt!
