Some of the same investigators who have worked on two of Will County's most well-known missing persons cases have converged on skeletal remains found near the Des Plaines River near rural Channahon.
Police say it's too early to say whether the body found is that of missing Plainfield mother Lisa Stebic or the wife of former Bolingbrook Police Sergeant Drew Peterson.
Plainfield Police working the Lisa Stebic case are also at the scene.
Police have cordoned off an area of the river under the Interstate-55 Bridge in southwest suburban Channahon. A blue tent has been set up on the banks of the Des Plaines River where the forensic work is being conducted. Several searches for high-profile missing persons cases- including Stacy Peterson of Bolingbrook and Lisa Stebic of Plainfield- were led throughout the area. Officials said it's too early to rule anything in or out.
A State Police spokesman tells ABC 7 a barge crew cleaning the banks of the river noticed the badly decomposed remains, believed to be those of a woman, early Wednesday afternoon.
Investigators are at the scene photographing the remains and the location in which they were found. On Wednesday evening, the body is expected to moved to a State Police facility where a forensic pathologist may be able to determine the person's height, weight, bone structure and possibly whether the person had given birth to a child. Dental records could also determine the person's identity.

ping for later

Maybe Lisa Stebic. I thought Drew Peterson put his wife’s body in a blue plastic drum before offloading her?
Whoever she is, may she rest in peace.

I dont know. But I also wouldnt know how well such a drum would have been sealed. Perhaps the gases produced by a decomposing body could force it open under various conditions.
I am just a dumb layman at this stuff.
