9:30 autopsy for human remains found in Will County

May 20, 2009

Will County coroner set to do autopsy at 9:30 this morning on the unidentified remains from on the bank of the Des Plaines River yesterday.

According to CBS 2 News, the remains were found approximately 2 pm and that they consisted “mainly of bones”, “weighed no more than 30lbs” and appeared to be a “small female wearing underwear”.

Concern of course centers around whether the body could be Lisa Stebic, who disappeared on April 30, 2007 – last seen by husband Craig.

Stacy Peterson was reported missing on October 28, 2007 by husband Drew, who maintains the young mother of two young children ran off with another man. Peterson’s stepbrother Thomas Morphey maintains he helped Peterson move a “warm” blue plastic barrel out of the Peterson home and that he is concerned it might have contained Stacy’s body. A blue plastic barrel was found floating in the water on the 17th approx 1 mile downstream from the remains. Other blue barrels have been found as well and lead to nothing.

They also report that Peterson attorney Joel Brodsky was aware and “unconcerned”. Same as he was on April 29th when he said Drew Peterson would never be indicted in relation to Kathleen Savio’s death.
