I don't think there would be much of a body left that was submerged in water for 2 years.

Well, I hope they can identify who it is quickly so that they can finally rest in piece.

...and I hope that ####### is found guilty and rots in jail.

I saw the film clip of the police placing the body bag in the ambulance. It looked like an empty bag so yeah, not much left.

Yes, very good reason! I mean, lets be honest Sara, when our husbands start to lose their looks, we have the right to off them.

Why does the article say 'the body was resumed'? What does that mean?

Here is a guy who has worked the system and proven that the laws are an epic fail.

Yet we have some and the likes of the ALCU who want to give criminals even more rights.

It's a typo. It should be exhumed. They pulled her body out of the grave to run a new autopsy.

Here's the latest from the Chicago Tribune. Won't be clear for weeks who it is. It may be neither woman.

Body's identity unknown: Families of Lisa Stebic, Stacy Peterson among those awaiting DNA test results

Remains discovered Wednesday in Des Plaines River

By Erika Slife and Steve Schmadeke | Tribune reporters

May 22, 2009

The families of two missing Will County women might have to wait up to two weeks to learn the identity of the human remains discovered Wednesday in the Des Plaines River.

DNA testing is being done on the partial skeletal remains, which consisted of a rib cage, spinal column, and partial left and right femur bones, according to Will County Coroner Patrick O'Neil, who said results likely won't be known for two weeks. But sources close to the investigation said the results could be returned as early as next week.

A preliminary autopsy performed Thursday could not determine whether the body was that of a man or woman, its race, or identity. The remains included shreds of jeans containing a small amount of money, and the person had been dead for several months or more. The coroner's office said it was unclear how the body parts were severed.

Stacy Peterson vanished from her Bolingbrook home in October 2007, and Lisa Stebic disappeared from her Plainfield home in April 2007. Both lived not far from where the remains were found.

"We know the identity is not going to be known until they do DNA testing," said Melanie Greenberg, a spokeswoman for Stebic's family. "We're cautiously hopeful that it might be Lisa. If it's not Lisa, our second wish is that it would be Stacy Peterson so that at least one of our families could get closure."

On Thursday, Illinois State Police continued searching for further evidence in the area where the body was found, along the river near Channahon just west of Interstate Highway 55.

Chad Pregracke, the founder of Living Lands & Waters in East Moline, a non-profit group that cleans up waterways in nine states, found the remains. Pregracke, 34, was alone on a 30-foot flat-bottom work boat Wednesday shortly before 2:30 p.m., pulling garbage out of the river when he came across the bones.

"When I saw it, I stood there for about 10 minutes, just thinking, 'Man, is that what I think it is?' " he said. "I wasn't super-freaked out, but I didn't want to call if it was nothing."

After determining the remains were human, Pregracke called state police. At the request of police, Pregracke declined to describe the scene or the body.

Peterson's husband, Drew Peterson, is a suspect in her disappearance. The former Bolingbrook police sergeant is in jail on murder charges for the 2004 death of previous wife Kathleen Savio. Plainfield police have named Craig Stebic, a "person of interest" in his wife's case. Both men deny any wrongdoing.

Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for Stacy Peterson's family, said her relatives will wait for DNA results.

"We've been down this road before," Bosco said. "Regrettably, it could be any woman at this point, and that's something I think we should all pay attention to."

Is anyone else creeped out that her lipstick and fingernail polish match? That is WRONG!

Um... they both have facial hair?

Does anyone else find it odd that they've been searching for these women for years now with no success. All of a sudden, they put Peterson in cuffs and haul him away to county, and presto, bones are turning up on the riverbank. Hmmmm...... makes one wonder. Maybe he's cellbunking with a gorilla that's raping his white #### till he squeals where the bodies are buried. Literally. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, if that's the case.
