PETERSON GOLD-STANDARD Scott

Do you know anyone with the surname Peterson? If so, stay far, far away, because he/she is probably trying to KILL YOU AND/OR RAPE YOUR CHILD RIGHT NOW. The seemingly innocuous last name has been attached to a string of high-profile criminals of late. Let's recap:

First up is Illinois police sergeant Drew Peterson, whose third wife mysteriously died in a bathtub and whose fourth wife has even more mysteriously been missing since October (a total coincidence, we're sure). Then there's 20-year-old Tyler Peterson, another former police officer, who killed six kids as they were eating pizza and watching movies at a high school homecoming party in Wisconsin. Then there's Kelsey Peterson a middle school teacher from Nebraska who hopped the Mexican border just so she could have sex with a 13-year-old boy. Unfortunately it doesn't stop there.
