The star witness in the Drew Peterson murder trial has revealed that it was words from his missing fourth wife that ultimately led to him finally being convicted last week.

Reverend Neil Schori made the groundbreaking revelation in an exclusive interview with the National Enquirer during which he explained that explosive information that Stacy Peterson gave him before she disappeared was the deciding factor in the jury reaching a guilty verdict.

As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, the former Chicago cop was convicted on September 6 of the 2004 murder of his third wife, Kathleen Salvio. The 58-year-old's next spouse, Stacy, vanished in 2007, and while he remains the prime suspect, he has not been charged in connection with her disappearance.

“I really felt Stacy’s voice was heard and used to bring justice for Kathleen," Rev. Schori told the Enquirer. "And now I really believe justice is going to start rolling for Stacy. I’m praying that Drew will finally confess what happened to her. I am asking the Lord to do His work.”

His insight into the disturbing case was sparked when just weeks before Stacy vanished he met with her near her Bolingbrook, Illinois, home, where she revealed that she was planning to divorce Drew. She then made the stunning revelation to him that, "I live with a murderer.”

Her understanding of what her husband had done came when she caught him washing a set of women's clothes and he asked her to be his alibi. The next night Kathleen’s naked body was found in the bathtub of her home, and Stacy realized that Drew had killed his ex-wife.
