State Cops & FBI Searching For Stacy Peterson in Hammel Woods

A helicopter, police dogs, state cops and federal agents were searching for missing mom Stacy Peterson in Hammel Woods Monday.

 

Federal agents and state cops searched through Hammel Woods forest preserve in Shorewood Monday looking for signs of missing mom Stacy Peterson.

READ MORE: 

A state police source confirmed that the operation—which included at least one helicopter and police dogs—was part of the search effort for the Bolingbrook mother, who disappeared in October 2007.

Weeks after Stacy vanished, state police officials named her husband, Drew Peterson, 58, as the sole suspect in the investigation the then-23-year-old's disappearance.

Peterson has never been charged with harming Stacy, but was convicted in September of murdering his previous wife, Kathleen Savio.

Savio, the third of Peterson's four wives, was found drowned in her dry bathtub in March 2004. The state police quickly concluded Savio perished in a freak accident but were forced re-examine that theory after Stacy mysteriously disappeared.

Prior to the search, the state police told forest preserve officials they were doing nothing more in Hammel Woods than training, said Bruce Hodgdon, the spokesman for the Will County Forest Preserve.

Joan Hyde, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Chicago office, confirmed that agents were in Hammel Woods "working with ISP as part of an ongoing criminal investigation."

The state police source said the operation was not prompted by a recent tip or breakthrough in the investigation, but was merely one of a number of periodic searches. These searches are conducted in areas that investigators believe Stacy's body may have been left, and Shorewood contains a number of them.

Peterson's stepbrother, Thomas Morphey, has said Peterson enlisted him in an effort to frame former Shorewood resident Scott Rossetto for Stacy's murder. Peterson believed Stacy and Rossetto were carrying on romantically behind his back, Morphey and other sources have said.

Officials have said they found cell phone activity from Stacy's cell phone in the Shorewood area around the time she disappeared.

Why do I find it hard to believe ISP and the FBI would randomly pick a possible burying ground for Stacy's remains in the ongoing investigation for her? I doubt their resources and time are so loose to be able to do that. That being said, from the early days of Stacy's disappearance, wasn't the rumor swirling that DP tried to frame Rossetto, who lived in Shorewood at the time, of harming Stacy and/or burying her somewhere near his home?

yes I agree, and DP had the abilities to put a tail on Rossetto to know his activity and locations at the time of her dissapearance. i would be colaborating w/Rossetto to look in the areas he was when she went missing. I just dont understand why DP "the primary suspect" and the interview w/the stepbrother was not further investigated? The fact that the stepbrother attempted to kill himself and what he had reported to investigators, They should have NEVER STOPPED LOOKING FOR STACEY PETERSON! Unbelievable! Somewhere I saw a photo of a Blue barrel on the edge of some waterway! What was that lead reported to be? Did it ever get investigated? Where is that blue barrel now? All that I can say to the FBI is: FIND STACEY PETERSON, NOW!

For one thing, the step-brother Thomas Morphey did not kill himself. He attempted to kill himself. And he has already given a statement to the FBI about Drew trying to get him to help with hiding what he believes was Stacy's body.

Personally? I have always thought this. But, I believe she is inside of the Peterson home. Inside of one of the walls. Drew Peterson, is so smart he probably placed her cell near Shorewood while he was on the other side of town. I feel she's inside walls of the home she shared with Drew. Nobody is that confident. She's in that house..They need to go check.

Well if thats the case, Alot of people are coming up missing, drowned, and committed suicide that are in DP INTER-CIRCLE! HUMMMMM...FBI: Jeezz we are stumpted, we just cant see to connect the dots here, Its a DEAD END TRAIL. what the hell?

This is a story until there is an ending. There needs to be closure. Once they find Stacy, her family and friends can finally have closure. The not knowing can drive a person insane. Once they find her, the proof will tell the story of what happened. Then Drew will rot in Hell X2.

For Daisy D...they can too charge for murder, and they have in the past. But in the case of Casey Anthony (who killed her 3 year old Callie), she was charged before the poor little girls body was ever found, but acquitted by a jury of her peers. With or without a body, this man needs to be convicted, and put away for a very long time (or death penalty which would be a better punishment for him).

He admitted that if he killed(some if) that no one would find the evidence. He is a cop and knows how the investigation will go. He is walking evil, and someday (cold case) the real evidence will surface one way or another. I feel sorry that the women were caught up in his web of illusion. Concrete is a good way to hide the evidence and who will investigate 200 possible areas? It isn's stupid, it is just a lot of work,

There is no doubt in my mind that Robert Wagner killed Natlie and I think Peter Lawford killed Marilyn Monroe too. She was about to leak out about her affair with Robert Kennedy and that would have ruined his career. Marilyn let him in her home because they were friends and he killed her.

Actually I don't care what happens to DP-he can rot in the Will County Jail for the rest of his life. I too believe he killed Stacy and one day the truth will be told. As far as Marilyn Monroe, I think she was having an affair with both of them. Robert Wagner sorry don't believe he killed Natalie Wood-I think they had a fight but that's it. And crazier things have happened when people drink.

Stacy knew that Drew had marked her for death. She told a few people that he was going to kill her and get away with it. People were so charmed by Drew, that they didnt believe that he was capable of such a horrific act. Even the Police defended Drew. He killed her! He killed his third wife too! If he ever gets out he will kill his next wife too.

The thing I don't understand about some of these cases is this- and I am SO SO SYMPATHETIC to Stacy's family and all the other women as well. If my husband hinted that he was gonna kill me enough that I told my neighbors and my sister and my priest, I would pack my stuff and grab my babies in the middle of the night and DISAPPEAR. I don't get that. I am not being critical- but all these wives said he told them he would kill them- why couldn't she call five witnesses to come to the house (even his cop buddies) and say to them, " I want you to keep me safe while I take my three kids out of this home." ANY COP or brother or priest would do that for her. I DON"T GET IT!!!

William Shatner's wife was a very troubled substance abuser with a history . As as Phil Hartman's wife... Wealth and a busy working spouse makes it easier for them to get involved in the wrong things. Neither Shatner's nor Hartman can be blamed for the misdeeds of their loved ones. They can try to get help for them which they both tried ... But , in the end it's the substance sbuser's choice .

To Christine: People like DP is why we NEED the death penalty! Seriously you know, we can't just make one exception. You are either pro or con. I am not afraid to say that I believe in the death penalty for cases where there is "compelling evidence" (ie no doubt). Unfortunately, without a body, this case may not qualify. But if anything, use this case as fodder to think about if you want your tax dollars to pay for any person who takes a life from a family. Remember, not only has the victim lost their life, but moreover, multiple lives are negatively affected, all just by one selfish act. We need to make it simple and quick. I think they should die by lethal injection the very next day after the guilty verdict comes down. Again, only for those crimes which have unquestionable proof. No appeals in these either. Right now there is very little incentive to deter people from committing these crimes because they know if they get caught they can likely get out of it with a lawyer, get their sentence reduced and get out early. An innocent woman is dead and by giving light punishment, what does that say about us as a society? I'll tell you what it says;
it says that we think it's okay. Today's crime tolerance is not ethical! Repeat crimes are rampant. If they get out, 75%+ will commit another crime within 5 years!! Don't be afraid to stand with what is right. We should NOT have to support murderers!!

It's just Black Widow, or in Drew's case, Black Widower. It comes from the term used for someone who loses a spouse, widow. It has nothing to do with the spider. Just saying. Not trying to be mean. Go Cubs/Bears/Bulls/Blackhawks/ or whoever.....

Hi Adam - Actually, it does have something to do with the spider, because the Black Widow does kill and eat her mate after copulation. That is why women who murder their husbands are called Black Widows. Like you said, though, in Drew's case it is Black Widower.

"Peterson's stepbrother, Thomas Morphey, has said Peterson enlisted him in an effort to frame former Shorewood resident Scott Rossetto for Stacy's murder."

Is this the same guy that said she was in a blue barrel? What happened to that theory?

just like obama's mission to kill bin laden, just get the truth within shortest possible time by all means, and if the suspect has proved to be clear of suspicion, then release him and change investigation target

hypnosis can be used only to help to recall information and only with strict guidelines in its use for law enforcement investigative work. It differs greatly from other types of hypnosis. A person can lie while under hypnosis and it has even been used to help a person to lie to beat a "lie detector". Nothing really beats a good investigator with an attitude and an open mind that is willing to use any and all investigative tools to assist his feet on the ground, and listening to and looking into all information he can get. One small or even stupid thing overlooked by everyone else may provide the answer to it all.

Being that I was at the Drew Peterson trial, sitting in his family seats because they were the only ones left and nobody came to see him, I saw a lot first hand. I also met Stacy's family and looked at family photos of when Drew was still with Stacy. There is a LOT we all don't know, but what we do know is that he killed her, just like Kathleen. If anyone on here wants to make up stories, compare him to Obama, or just speak words of nonsense, save it because you sound dumb. We don't know if she is in concrete, creamated, buried, or in the walls of the house (pretty ridiculous assumption) so why don't we all just stop making up exciting horror movie sequences, and realize that this is a real life situation and a real woman who lost her life. Also, I can't believe how many of you are mispelling the easiest words ever. But anyway, Drew is guilty and all I hope for is that the search for Stacy to continue and bring some closure to her family.

Even though Stacy did not deserve to be (allegedly) murdered, let's not forget that she used to flip off Kathleen Savio when she was alive and (allegedly) knew that Drew murdered Kathleen but did not report him to the authorities so for many years Kathleen's family did not have closure and Stacy held the key to that closure. Now Stacy's family knows what Kathleen's family went through. I do hope they find Stacy and can successfully charge and convict Drew for her murder.

And in the ending they still never show what actually happened to Stacy. They just show Drew & his brother loading up the blue barrel into his SUV & driving off. But Nothing beyond that. It leaves everyone with confusion of where she would be, just as in reality. (I followed the whole real story from the start.

They may not be able to find Stacy's body, but Drew was found guilty of the previous wife's murder. So he is in prison for that. Now, just like Natalie Holloway's body has not been found, Van der Sloot nearly got away with it but then he killed another girl- now in prison for THAT. OJ- couldn't hang him on his wife and Ron Goldman's death, but they finally got him in the slammer for trying to steal his trophy back. This is justice, for all of those sociopaths that thought they got away with it and so did it again. The pattern follows them around. If they are not in prison, they are in for another. FBI knows what it is doing. There will be no peace for those idiots - ever. Stacy's death helped bring her husband to justice for killing his prior wife. That is worth something in and of itself.

Joanna unfortunately it doesn't work that way by just praying to God for forgiveness of sins. If you really believe in one God, you still need confession.

Re: Do we REALLY Need To Go To Confession To Be Forgiven??
Brushy, if you are a Catholic, and commit mortal sin, you need to go to confession. I know you were probably really young (7) when you had your first confession, and a lot of the teaching probably 'went over your head'. People in the last 4 decades have underutilized confession, have been poorly catechized, and in many cases have been outright lied to. But since you're asking (Good for you! ), you are being given God's grace to get a good, definitive answer. So here is from the Catechism:
1484 "Individual, integral confession and absolution remain the only ordinary way for the faithful to reconcile themselves with God and the Church, unless physical or moral impossibility excuses from this kind of confession."95 There are profound reasons for this. Christ is at work in each of the sacraments. He personally addresses every sinner: "My son, your sins are forgiven."96 He is the physician tending each one of the sick who need him to cure them.97 He raises them up and reintegrates them into fraternal communion. Personal confession is thus the form most expressive of reconciliation with God and with the Church.

I don't need a priest to tell me that I'm forgiven, I already know I am. I don't need to confess to a priest for I confess directly to the One who forgives. I don't need to say ten Hail Mary's or any other saying, because He will tell me how to make things right and simply by confessing and praying and being sorrowful and humble, He will forgive me.

However, there are a few flaws. You say that all you have to do is confess to a priest but then you contradict that by saying you also need a "pit stop" to atone for your sins. Which is it?

What Bible passage says that only people that confess their sins to a Catholic priest make it into Heaven?

How does saying 5 Hail Mary's make up for killing someone?

Another thing, why the need to pray to saints? Why not go to the big guy directly?

Tom, Vera who? I'm one of PLC's church member and now I speak for him as his disciple.

It is the will of God as established by Christ that He forgive serious sins in this way, through an ordained priest who acts in the Person of Christ in the Sacrament of Confession. Just as we rely on ordained men for the consecration of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ, so too did God ordain priests to forgive sins. The priest in the Sacrament of Confession represents both Christ and the Church, to which both were offended by our sin(s), and from whom we must be forgiven. Reconciliation to Christ and His Body (the Church) is formally accomplished in this sacrament.

Then why bother asking God's forgiveness beforehand?
Because it's natural and human to do so. Otherwise Confession would be seen as a legalistic, mechanical ritual rather than the encounter of forgiveness of a personal offense (against God) in a personal relationship. We don't wait until right before Confession to be sorry. That would be dishonest.

If we express sorrow immediately, aren't we forgiven and able again to receive Him in Communion?
No, unless it is a true emergency. Should the person die before having the opportunity to confess in the sacrament on Confession, a true, honest act of contrition (of sorrow) to God grants the repentant heart the grace needed for salvation.

Tom you need to go back to relgious ed for a refresher crash course.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines purgatory as a "purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven," which is experienced by those "who die in God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified" (CCC 1030). It notes that "this final purification of the elect . . . is entirely different from the punishment of the damned" (CCC 1031). 

The purification is necessary because, as Scripture teaches, nothing unclean will enter the presence of God in heaven (Rev. 21:27) and, while we may die with our mortal sins forgiven, there can still be many impurities in us, specifically venial sins and the temporal punishment due to sins already forgiven.

Disciple-what you said about atheists. It's true that if they die without accepting God that they're not in Heaven. But it's also true that as long as they believe with all their heart, even on their death bed, that they will get into Heaven. Just like the thief on the cross next to Jesus. Just couldn't tell from your wording what you believed.

Looks like Crusader, Vera, Tom Selleck, Morelli...has created a new alias again. This time he's Disciple.

Is there some way that the Patch can keep someone from creating a new alias after he's been banned?

If not, what good does it do to ban them in the first place?

They should give him a sex change operation , since he kills women then he would commit suicide and the state would save on costs of "due process"

I guess it's just a coincidence that you just joined yesterday after PLC was banned and one of your first posts was in defense of PLC/Vera/Selleck/Morelli...

Hey Disciple- Here is more clarification for absolution OR forgiveness of sins.....

Absolution of sins most importantly forgiveness of sins when done by a priest (and, when done before death, ensures one dies in a "state of grace", able to eventually enter heaven);

However, for certain especially GRAVE SINS to be forgiven and for the accompanying Church penalties to be lifted, there are formal processes which must take place along with the absolution, which must then be given (depending on the seriousness of the type of sin) either by the Pope (through the Apostolic Penitentiary), the local Bishop, or a priest authorized by the Bishop.

This has nothing to do with free speech, Francis. It's the fact that this whole story had nothing to do with religion until you started spamming it across this board. I have a vision that one day, you'll be building a shed or something and you'll smack your head on a plank of wood. Then you will have this great realization that you have been a jerk to everyone on this website and apologize to everyone for your horrible talk on here. I still like how you continue to think that everyone else has no idea you switch your name each time you get banned.

If Drew ever decided to confess to a Priest for what he has done, his sins will be absolved and he still can go to heaven. Remember Saint Longinus?

The first time Linda brought up religion was a full day later. It's OK though. I already was expecting you'd make up an excuse. We're all used to it by now

FBF still none of your business. I was stating a true and honest fact. Let me guess , you're another one afraid of religion. You and others are like the Government trying to silent us and trying to force our religion to do things the way the President is trying to do. We are here to stay and the so called President will lose his fight with us.

I like how you get called out on something and then say "none of your business." As if this whole thing was your story/business in the first place. Then you change the topic. Also, I'm fairly sure I'm not afraid of religion. As well as think that the president is trying to silent religious people. I mean, unless you are for the Westboro Baptist Church picketing fallen soldiers funerals. Which it is now illegal to picket from 2 hours before, to 2 hours after a funeral. Other than that, not much has changed. Just more people becoming more outspoken about religious beliefs/non-beliefs. Not even in a bad way, just more willing to talk about what they really feel. Which apparently upsets you.

You can believe what you want, but telling me I'm going to rot in hell or float in purgatory just seems a bit rude. There's a difference from people telling others what they believe and why they believe it/why they think you should believe it, to the people who will become upset/angry and tell you how horrible of a person you are because of what you believe (not even about something a person has done, just what they believe). Just seems a bit close minded and rude, is all.

FBF Obama sucks and he thinks he will be able to force the HHR mandate on the Catholics. He's going to lose the fight against the religious freedom movement. And the ones turning their back and being outspoken against religion are turning to intrinsic evil.

Disciple, I'll say that purgatory bit wasn't directed at a statement you made, just a generalization. You were talking about it earlier and I'm just saying it doesn't seem beyond you to say something like that. And there is nothing anyone can say that can convince me or any other logical thinking person, that the "HHS" ideas are problematic. They aren't forcing anyone to get contraception. But I'm sure you have other thoughts on that too.

HHS mandate is still trying to force Catholic groups to put contraception in their health insurance premiums for their employees. That's why several Archbishops have filed lawsuits against the Obama administration and HHS. We just had a large rally a couple of weeks ago Downtown to protest the HHS mandate. And yes, HHS is problematic in every sense.

Because people you know for a long time couldn't possible have an STD and if they did everyone would disclose these things? Also there are several STDs that a person can carry for quite some time without having any symptons and still pass it right along.

That's one law I have no problem with if passed. . Mandatory test before marriage for STD's or be tested as ones annual check up to nip it in the bud.
