Could frozen body be that of Stacy Peterson?
Posted January 26th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.cnn.comUPDATE: It’s not Stacy Peterson or Lisa Stebic.
A woman’s body was found in a southern suburb of Chicago, frozen and with a blue barrel in close proximity. Although confirmed reports have not identified the body, speculation about whether or not the body is that of Stacy Peterson, the young mother and wife to Drew Peterson is escalating.
The body appears to be that of a female with reddish-blond hair, a Chicago Police Department spokesman said.
Stacy Peterson — the 23-year-old wife of Drew Peterson, a former police sergeant in a Chicago suburb — has been missing since October 28 of last year.
Drew Peterson, 53, is a suspect in the case but has consistently said he believes she ran away with another man.
Police in Lyons, a suburb of Chicago, said a Chicago environmental surveyor was working in the neighborhood about 2 p.m. when he called supervisors to tell them he’d seen what appeared to be a human foot and leg near a set of railroad tracks.
