More victims. He allegedly murders the mother of four of his children and children from another marriage have to parent them.

Here is a statement from the oldest son, Stephen Peterson, on behalf of his siblings:

All of the children of Drew Peterson fully support their father and know that he is innocent of the charges against him.

We know him better than anyone else in the world and we know he is not guilty.

My younger brothers and sister, Kris, Tom, Anthony and Lacy, are staying with me.

We miss our dad and are praying for his release every day.

Neither I nor any of the children are doing any interviews.

We ask that the media and public respect our privacy during this trying time.
