It's hard to imagine what the loved ones of Stacy Peterson and Lisa Stebic must be going through right now.
This morning, an autopsy will be performed on the badly decomposed body found yesterday by a cleanup crew on the banks of the Des Plaines River near Channahon and Interstate Highway 55.
That's an area where searchers have looked for Peterson since she disappeared Oct. 28, 2007.
Peterson is the fourth wife of former Bolingbrook Police sergeant Drew Peterson. State police have notified Stacy's family about the discovery.
There's also speculation that the remains might be those of Lisa Stebic. The Plainfield mother of two disappeared in April 2007.
Maybe it's Lisa.
Maybe it's Stacy.
Or, perhaps, it's another missing person altogether.
Whoever the remains turn out to be, I hope the family soon will find peace in knowing what happened to their loved one.
