Vickie's murder has left behind her 2yr old Son to grow up
without his Mother in his life
Vickie was stabbed to death by her husband, Daniel Peterson, 32. A friend was concerned when
they did not arrive at a New Year’s Eve party and called the Sheriff’s
Department. Sheriff’s deputies and local police went to the Peterson home and
found Vickie’s body stabbed multiple times and her two month old son crying but
unharmed. Daniel and Vickie were married in June of 2003. There was no
documented history of domestic violence.
After killing his
wife, Daniel drove to Black River Falls and then hitchhiked to Illinois. He was
arrested in Des Plaines, Illinois after he attempted to rob a bank branch in a
grocery store. Daniel resisted arrest and threatened two police officers with a
large knife. One of the officers shot Daniel twice while defending another
officer from him.
After spending two
years imprisoned in Illinois, Daniel reached a plea deal with state
prosecutors. He was transferred to Wisconsin from Illinois where he pled to
reduced charges of Attempted Aggravated Battery of a police officer and
Attempted Armed Robbery. He was sentenced to six years of additional prison
time.
In Wisconsin, Daniel
Peterson has been charged with First Degree Intentional Homicide in Vickie’s
death. The case is still open at the time of this report in Clark County and Daniel is being held in jail
on one million dollars bail.
