CNN is reporting that the remains found on the Des Plaines River last week are not those of Stacy Peterson or Lisa Stebic. Instead they are the remains of an unidentified male. You can read more here.

Human skeletal remains were found on the Des Plaines River near Channahon, Illinois, on Wednesday not far from where two women disappeared: Stacy Peterson and Lisa Stebic.
They were found by Chad Pregracke, the founder of Living Lands & Waters in East Moline, a nonprofit group that cleans up waterways in nine states.
Pregracke, 34, was alone on a 30-foot flat bottom work boat Wednesday shortly before 2:30 p.m., pulling garbage out of the Des Plaines River when he came across the bones.
The article also says:
A plastic blue barrel was spotted in the vicinity of the body. Channahon resident Michelle Williams told WGN Radio host John Williams this morning that she and her husband saw the barrel in heavy brush on the riverbank on Sunday and she saw it again on Tuesday.
However, people who are familiar with the river say that seeing a blue barrel on the river in not an uncommon sight.
Police say it will take several weeks before they will get any DNA lab results back. You can read more here at CNN as well.
Thanks A.S. for the story update.
Lisa Stebic went missing from her Plainfield, Illinois home back on April 30th. I saw the story profiled on Greta Van Susteren last night.
Lisa “…was last seen at her home (in Plainfield, Illinois) at around 6 pm. Her car is still in her garage and she has her cell phone and wallet with her. According to police, her cell phone has not been used since April 30th and neither has her credit card. Lisa would never leave her children.” (Source FindLisaStebic.com).
I attempted to find video of Lisa’s husband talking this morning and I am unable to. I found one small clip of him talking behind a glass door, but it didn’t yield much information outside of the fact he was very nervous. It was hard to see him as he was questioned at an odd angle.
So far, it appears police found blood on a tarp which Craig said came from deer hunting. However, DNA revealed the blood was from Lisa.
At this time, Craig has not officially been charged with anything, nor is he being called a suspect by police.
If you see any video of Craig Stebic talking about his wife’s disappearance, please let me know.
