As authorities search the Illinois-Michigan Canal in Lockport for clues in the disappearance of Stacy Peterson, her family is calling for her husband to take a lie detector test.

The missing woman's relatives say the test could prove Drew Peterson's theories surrounding his wife Stacy's disappearance. She was last seen October 28.

Drew Peterson, 53, has denied wrongdoing, saying he believes 23-year-old Stacy left him for another man and is alive. Peterson has since resigned from the Bolingbrook police force. He has not said if he will take a lie detector test.

New information has been revealed about the disappearance of Stacy Peterson, in an interview with the sister of a man under scrutiny for his possible role in the case.

As CBS 2's Rafael Romo reports, the questions surround a relative of Drew Peterson's who is alleged to have helped him load a mysterious blue barrel onto Peterson's truck to dispose of it, then to have attempted suicide.

Drew Peterson and his attorney have repeatedly denied the story about the blue barrel, but that relative's sister said in a telephone interview with CBS 2 News that the relative insisted that he helped Drew Peterson removed a large container the night Stacy disappeared.

BOLINGBROOK — Former police officer Drew Peterson paid a relative to help him move a large container from a bedroom on the day Peterson’s wife vanished, according to a friend of the relative.

On the "Today" program Friday, Walter Martineck said the friend frantically told him the same night that he thought Stacy Peterson’s body was inside the rectangular container. Martineck also said his friend tried to give him the money that Peterson paid him, but said he did not know how much it totaled.

Lisa Stebic's family does not begrudge Stacy Peterson for catching the public eye.

The family of the Plainfield woman who went missing seven months ago says they are just amazed her case gathered national media attention. Now the spotlight should be on Peterson - a Bolingbrook woman who disappeared Oct. 28 - said family spokesperson Melanie Greenberg.

"I know it's amazing that we had the attention we did as long as we did, and it's only right that Stacy's case is getting the attention it's getting right now," Greenberg said.

A new voice is being heard in the case of a missing Bolingbrook woman.

A friend of the relative of Drew Peterson who has said that he fears he helped the former Bolingbrook police sergeant dispose of Stacy Peterson's body is saying that Peterson paid for that assistance.

Walter Martineck Jr. appeared on the "Today" show Friday morning telling Meredith Viera that the man who is being portrayed as an instable alcoholic by Peterson attorney Joel Brodsky is actually a "down to earth" guy who has been Martineck's friend since the two were teenagers.

The mysterious case of missing Bolingbrook mother Stacy Peterson is deepening as investigators look into stories that her husband, Drew Peterson, and a relative helped load a blue container onto Drew's truck to dispose of it on the day she vanished.

CBS 2's West Suburban Bureau Chief Mike Puccinelli reports that the sister of the man who said he helped Drew Peterson move the container is speaking out in an exclusive interview.

That sister said that on Friday, her brother was somewhere safe getting the help he needs to cope with what he fears he may have done.

While boats navigated the waters of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship canal looking for any sign of Stacy Peterson on Friday, her father sent a tow truck to Stacy's house to recover his Harley Davidson, a large tool box, a desk and a family Bible he had given to his now missing daughter.

Attorneys for Drew Peterson filed a motion Friday in Will County seeking the return of Peterson's property seized by Illinois State Police as part of the investigation into the disappearance of Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy.

Among items taken Nov. 1 were Peterson's 11 guns, ammunition, two iPods, a backpack with school supplies, computers and 23 CDs, according to the motion. Police also took the couple's 2005 GMC Yukon Denali and 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix.

The motion alleged that holding onto the vehicles "is done to merely vex the owner, prohibiting him from properly caring for his minor children, thus punishing them."

A former police officer's third and fourth wives had a history of animosity, including an incident where one allegedly punched the other in the face, according to a police call log released Friday.

Drew Peterson's ex-wife, Kathleen Savio, was later acquitted of charges that she struck Stacy Peterson in May 2002 because the younger woman was in the car during a child custody exchange.

Police responded to 19 calls for help in less than two years involving fellow officer Drew Peterson, Savio, his ex-wife who was found dead in 2004, and Stacy Peterson, his current wife who is missing and feared slain.

Not even relatives knew of alleged claim Drew killed third wife

Perhaps it was a secret so dark that Stacy Peterson felt she could confide in a man of the cloth and almost no one else.

That could be one explanation for why a close relative of the missing Bolingbrook mother said Thursday she never heard Peterson say her husband, Drew Peterson, claimed to have killed his previous wife.

"It was all new to us," said Pam Bosco, a spokeswoman for Stacy Peterson's family. "Anything you printed was very interesting. ... Stacy never said that to any of us."

BOLINGBROOK -- The family of missing mom Stacy Peterson is still anxiously awaiting the young woman's return, but Friday they got back a motorcycle, a Bible and a toolbox.

A man identifying himself as a family friend backed a flatbed truck into the driveway of the Petersons' home Friday morning and departed with the red Harley-Davidson Super Glide, the large yellow toolbox, a chest of drawers and a black-covered Bible.

Friends and family of the long-missing Lisa Stebic joined in the search for Stacy Peterson Saturday, as one of husband Drew Peterson's relatives talks about a mystery in the case involving a blue barrel.

But the search was called off early due to the snowstorm that blew in on Saturday afternoon.

Peterson, 23 and a mother of two, has been missing since Oct. 28. Her husband Drew, 53, has been named a suspect in her disappearance, and Illinois State Police have said they believe she died in a homicide.

An intense search for two suburban mothers who seemingly vanished without a trace was called off after four hours as snow and sleet began pelting the area Saturday.

For the fifth straight Saturday, an organized search was conducted in hope of finding Stacy Peterson. Each week the searches have gotten bigger and more organized.

Saturday’s searchers were out to find either Peterson, who disappeared just over one month ago, or Lisa Stebic, who disappeared just over seven months ago.
