Plainfield, Ill. There's a new lead in the disappearance of Lisa Stebic; it comes as friends and families mark the missing woman's birthday.
The Naperville Sun is quoting an unnamed police source saying police found a tarp in Craig Stebic's truck which has tested positive for his wife Lisa Stebic's blood.
The Will County State Attorney's Office will neither confirm nor deny that, saying the warrant is under seal.
It's information the missing woman's side of the family was surprised to hear.
In an e-mail from Melanie Greenberg, the Stebic family spokesperson, stated: "The family of Lisa Stebic was not aware of, and does not now know, the grounds on which the Plainfield Police Department obtained the search warrant executed at Lisa and Craig's home last Monday. We continue to have full confidence in the Plainfield Police Department, and do not wish to comment on the course of their investigation at this time. We remain thankful beyond words to all those who have supported us and sent their prayers for Lisa's safe return."
Satruday balloons lifted skyward against a setting sun in a tribute to Lisa Stebic on her 38th birthday.
The family said they are grateful for those who attended the candlelight vigil in Stebic's honor Saturday evening.
"It's just a difficult day in general because it's Lisa's 38th birthday and she's not here with us and she's not with her two children," said Melanie Greenberg, Stebic's cousin and family spokesperson.
The Naperville Sun reports a tarp investigators confiscated from Stebic's home as evidence has tested positive for Lisa Stebic's blood and that evidence sparked a judge to approve a search warrant on the home executed Monday.
"It's extremely painful and difficult," said Mark Greenberg, Lisa Stebic's cousin. We've been contacting and discussing what's been going on with police. We've asked them to tell as much as they can to us without jeopardizing the investigation. This is news to us."
Craig Stebic told CBS 2 he'd talk later, but was busy with family during the birthday celebration.
Loved ones will save a piece of Lisa's birthday cake with the hopes she'll taste it someday along with a huge birthday card for her to read.
CBS 2 and our news partner the Naperville Sun are working on this story together. Read more about the investigation in sunday's Naperville Sun.
All the husband has to do to clear himself is to take a polygraph test. Funny most of the guilty ones always refuse it. If you are innocent take the damn thing and let the police go after the real killer. It may not hold up in court but if you pass it with flying colors you are off the hook as far as the poice are concerned. No?
Lawyer was already talking about chain of custody and contamination on Fox News.
Let me guess, Lisa cut her hand on a fish hook, which would account for the blood on the tarp?
Let's see if he says that..

Why didn’t environmentalists protest the releasing of balloons at the candlelight vigil, which turtles can eat and suffocate?
Polygraphs are along the lines of reading entrails and having a suspect touch the murdered man's corpse to see if the wounds bleed fresh. There is no scientific basis for the polygraph, which is why most courts in the U.S. have ruled them inadmissible in evidence (unless the defendant agrees).
Problem is, they show false results in BOTH directions. An innocent but nervous person who tends to sweat or tremble when stressed will get nailed, while the sociopath who naturally feels no conflict, nervousness, or guilt will pass with flying colors.
I don't know about you, but I sure as heck wouldn't stake my life on it.
Would have to have been a while ago; husband says they have said something like five words to each other all year.
Let's see if he says that.
How about he used to be a vampire in a previous life.
No!
I agree. While cooperation is good if you are innocent, a lie detector test should be taken only in very, very rare circumstances.
Yeah just like the Duke DNA tests did. If they want to keep you as a suspect, they will.
Hear hear. Ask a polygraph guy why they would never have one guy administer the test and have another guy interpret the results without knowing what the questions were, and sit back for a real trip into the land of double-speak.
A shoo-in for Polygraph Champion of the World.
