BOLINGBROOK, Illinois (CNN) -- Police are using tracking dogs, airplanes, infrared sensors and volunteers on foot Tuesday to look for a young mother who disappeared nine days ago, leaving her 4- and 2-year-old children behind.
Stacy Peterson, 23, has been missing from her suburban Chicago home since October 28.
1 of 2 Friends and relatives of Stacy Peterson, 23, say her disappearance is suspicious.
Her husband of four years, Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson, 53, reportedly has told police his wife said she was leaving him for another man, and police are not treating the disappearance as a criminal investigation.
But the woman's aunt, Candace Aikin, of El Monte, California, said Stacy Peterson confided in her that there were problems during a visit to the Peterson home in suburban Chicago last month.
"She said that she was afraid because he was following her around 24/7, even inside the house," Aikin said. "He was very obsessed and stalking her, even inside her house.
"She was very, very full of stress and just not happy in her marriage at all," Aikin said.

Good evening and the very best to you and yours.

Congratulations!
Nothing unusual about your love story - in fact it was and is still cause to celebrate.
This Sgt. Drew Peterson liaison is quite different. Sex with minors by persons in a position of *authority* with an age difference of 30 years, is both unnatural and in all States, illegal (depending on the age of consent).
Congratulations. My wife and I have been married now for over 30 years. Working on the next 30. However, we’re a lot closer in age, one year apart. We had six children, lost one when she was only 6 days old.... long story there, bad surgery, bad doctors, bad MILITARY doctors then. Eleven grandkids (10 and one on the way).
This story is way different though, and the folks who instantly go off on young girls with older men stories are simply uninformed.
I’m sure there are a LOT of those kinds of marriages that do not end disaster or missing persons.
I am beginning to think, after this guy was married FOUR times, something wasn’t right at all at home. She’s missing. He’s a cop.
USUALLY that is a recipe for a bad story ending. Who better than a Cop to hide things?
Wonder if Oona O'Neill's father said something like that. (Of course, 99% of the time it's true...)
Update via wikipedia. "Eugene O'Neill was so incensed at the union (he had refused to give his consent so that Oona could marry Chaplin before her eighteenth birthday), that he cut her out of his life, refusing all attempts by her at a reconciliation." Chaplin was 54 and had been married 3x. The marriage to Oona lasted 35 years.
Yes, you could say he was a political idiot.
There are always some exceptions to the rule. I’m sure we could find a number of winter, spring romances that work out. But by and large I’ve got to question a 30 years age difference.
I thought if you added up her friends and relatives it would amount to two.
