DuPage County is introducing a QR code that will allow domestic violence victims to get help safely and discreetly.
When Kathleen Savio was found dead in 2004, her death was initially ruled accidental. She told relatives of her fears that her ex-husband Drew Peterson would kill her, but she never got help until it was too late.
Drew Peterson was eventually convicted of Kathleen Savio's murder in 2012. But the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, remains unsolved. Nicole Ousley of the YWCA Metro Chicago said she deals with victims who are often too scared to find help. The QR code is initially going to be used by first responders to share with victims. Norma Peterson's organization, Document the Abuse, has been using a similar system in offering help to victims and protection from their abusers.
