The FBI is expected to join the search for missing Bolingbrook mother Stacy Peterson early next week, opening the possibility of "technical assistance of the U.S. Navy" if needed, a spokesman for the Will County state's attorney said Friday.

Charles Pelkie said investigators asked the federal agency for help in putting more searchers on the hunt and to lend its expertise if required.

Meanwhile, volunteers will resume looking for Peterson, 23, on Saturday, beginning at 9 a.m. at the Bolingbrook Recreation and Aquatic Complex, 200 S. Lindsey Lane. Although they will comb some ground that has been searched before, family spokeswoman Pam Bosco said she hopes the search will be even more thorough this time.

The tightlipped law has kept a lid on a neighbor's report of Drew Peterson allegedly loading a large barrel into the back of his Denali soon after his wife vanished, but the former cop's brother says he didn't lend a hand.

"I don't know anything about it," said Paul Peterson, the brother of recently retired police Sgt. Drew Peterson, when asked about reports of a neighbor telling police that Drew and another man hauled a mysterious blue barrel from his residence to his Denali.

JOLIET, Ill. -- The FBI will join the search for Stacy Peterson on Monday.

Charles Pelkie, a spokesman for the Will County state's attorney, said the FBI's involvement makes it possible for the U.S. Navy to provide technical assistance in water searches.

The Illinois State Police remains the lead agency in the investigation. Pelkie says the state police will brief FBI investigators on Monday.

CHICAGO - The FBI will join the search for Stacy Peterson, the missing wife of a former suburban police sergeant, according to a Chicago-based spokesman for the federal agency.
The FBI's involvement comes at the request of the Illinois State Police, which is leading the investigation of the Bolingbrook mother's disappearance.

FBI spokesman Ross Rice said the agency has no reason to believe federal laws were broken, which would give it jurisdiction.

But it has agreed to help, he said, just as it has with the ongoing investigation of another missing suburban woman: Lisa Stebic of Plainfield, who vanished April 30.

The family of Stacy Peterson searched for the missing woman again Saturday, but the cold weather made the outdoor hunt more difficult.

About 75 people scoured a park near Peterson's Bolingbrook home, but the brush was thick and had ice in some patches, said Beverly Baridon, 53, a volunteer from Wheaton.

"It was cold and we all had runny noses, but everyone wants to find Stacy and bring her home," Baridon said.

Family and friends of Stacy Peterson are scaling back on volunteer searches during the week and will resume Saturday, a family spokeswoman said Sunday.

While volunteers will hold off until the weekend, the Illinois State Police will continue searching for the missing 23-year-old during the week, said Pam Bosco, a family friend. The FBI is expected to join the search for the Bolingbrook mother of two early this week, opening the possibility of "technical assistance of the U.S. Navy" if needed, officials said Friday.

Is Drew trying to act, sound like a suspect?

If Stacy Peterson left her family for another man, as her husband, Drew Peterson, claims, is this a case of history repeating itself?

Nine years ago, Stacy's mother, Christie Cales, disappeared, abandoning her family after the accidental deaths of two of her children in less than four years.

Both women suffered from depression. Both women married young, Stacy at 19 with an infant son and Christie at 21 and pregnant.

Both complained of troubled marriages.

But Stacy Peterson's family says that despite any similarities, there's one crucial difference between her and her mother: Stacy Peterson loved being a mother and would never have left her kids -- voluntarily.

Also on Monday, a former fiancè of Drew Peterson appeared on the "Today Show" and was interviewed by Meredith Viera.
