  • New Lead in Case of Drew Peterson's 4Th Wife? - CBS News 12/30/11 3:42 PM
    New Lead in Case of Drew Peterson's 4th Wife? - CBS News 12/30/11 3:42 PM July 7, 2010 3:28 PM New Lead in Case of Drew Peterson's 4th Wife? Last Updated 1:50 p.m. ET Investigators picked their way across a muddy stretch of remote central Illinois Saturday as they followed a lead into the disappearance and possible homicide of the fourth wife of former suburban Chicago police officer Drew Peterson. Peterson already faces a murder charge in the 2004 killing of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. No one has been charged in the 2007 disappearance of his subsequent spouse, Stacy Peterson, and her body has not been found. Illinois State Police confirmed Saturday that they are currently following a lead in rural central Illinois regarding Peterson's disappearance and have set up a media staging at a location near Peoria, reports CBS Station WBBM. The Illinois State Police team that has been investigating the disappearance and possible homicide of Stacy Peterson is at the scene, an ISP release said. "There is a search underway for human remains; however no human remains have been located at this point," Peoria County Coroner Johanna Ingersoll said as of 10 a.m. CT. The search is taking place in Peoria County, but Ingersoll could not immediately confirm exactly where the search is taking place or whether the search is related to Peterson. State police Master Sgt. Tom Burek says several law enforcement agencies, including some from the Chicago area, are searching rural land "thick with timber" near Peoria on foot.
