Drew Peterson fiancee hopes for wedding by summer

Drew Peterson's new fiancee says she hopes to marry the former Bolingbrook police officer by summer, but she isn't counting on her family to attend the wedding.

Christina Raines tells NBC's "Today" show that her father has made it clear he won't be coming to the wedding. The 24-year-old's family is scared for her safety.

Peterson has been named a suspect in the 2007 disappearance of his fourth wife. His third wife died in 2004, and the death was later ruled a homicide.

Peterson has denied any wrongdoing.

Raines says the 55-year-old Peterson has been kind and loving. The couple live in Peterson's Bolingbrook home.

Raines didn't directly address comments she made earlier this month when she moved out of Peterson's home and called their engagement a publicity "stunt."
