CHANNAHON, Ill. — Illinois State Police divers are searching the Des Plaines River in Will County as investigators in a helicopter and crews on the ground pursue clues near where a badly composed body was found. Illinois State Police Sgt. Tom Burek wouldn’t speculate if the remains belong to Stacy Peterson or Lisa Stebic, two missing Will County women whose cases have drawn national attention. An autopsy is scheduled Thursday on the remains, which members of a cleanup crew found Wednesday. Peterson’s husband, Drew Peterson, is charged with killing his third wife, Kathleen Savio. He contends his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, left him for another man when she disappeared in October 2007 and is most likely living outside Illinois. Stebic was last seen in Plainfield in April 2007. Authorities have named her husband a "person of interest" in her disappearance, but he’s denied any involvement. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
