Lisa Stebic-Plainfield, IL mother of 2

[strach304]

I wonder that myself I bet he never thought that when he asked the neighbors that Tuesday morning if they had seen Lisa he never dreamed that they would go in and call the police.

Or maybe that is what he wanted. Remember how Scott Peterson sounded the alarm? I'm wondering what else he told the neighbor in addition to that such as work calling and saying she didn't make it in? Then I can certainly see the neighbor becoming concerned.

Don't hold back, Fran .... tell us how you really feel!

BTW, GREAT post! :clap:

LOL, was I that obvious?

Thanks,

PS.......I so hope they find her. Without a body, it's much harder to prove a crime. But............they need a SEARCH WARRANT NOW!!! Probable cause, because she's MISSING. She's not the type of person to leave her kids. NO judge would deny a SW request at this place and time, IMHO....fran

The guy is a pipe fitter. What was he doing home at 10:00 in the morning? That type of job usually starts early, like 6:00-6:30 A.M. and get home early too, like get off work at 3 and home by 4. That, IMHO, was why she usually left for the gym at 4:00.

I'm betting dollars to donuts he's counting on the body not being found and no useful forensics in the home that would indicate a murder.

Fran I LOVE your posts! Really gets me thinking!!!! THANK YOU!

this is very true... a pipe fitter would usually work from 5 or 6 till 2 to 4. I can see how if he did get off at 3 or 4 why she would leave around 4 ...... she didn't want to be there when he got home! :doh:

That's why I questioned Liz about that report saying he was home Tuesday. If co-workers called because she didn't show up for work, who did they call? If it was Craig why was he home? Then he starts asking neighbors and I'd also like to know if he made any calls looking for her and to who and when.

Local Fox news just reported that the family will be holding a press conf. at around 2PM (Central time) this afternoon. Since she has not been found I am going to assume they will be asking for people to come out tomorrow to help in the search.

will look for link to the new story and post

Any word on the press conference yet? It should be 4pm there now right? (I'm in the UK and its 10pm here)

Thanks in advance!

Thank you Seahorseladydi...:blushing:

I live in So California. I used to start work at 7:15 A.M. in downtown L.A. It was an office job, but they were trying to stagger the rush hour in L.A., so companies were trying to get away from the 8 to 4 and 9 to 5.

Now, our afternoon rush hour starts about 3:00. Why? Because many people get off early shift, while others are on their way to work for the late shift. I know that from my husband being in charge of a manufacturing business. LOL, that's why he'd wait until the dust cleared so he missed all the traffic. He'd go in at 10:00. ....But his first shift started at 6:00 A.M. and got off at 3:00, they had an hour lunch.

A manual job, such as a pipefitter, construction worker, or manufacturing guy, would have an early start. I hope LE is looking into that aspect. Especially in light of what the neighbor said that she USUALLY left at 4:00, but didn't that day.

See, that's another thing these guys just don't get. They always think they're so smart and can fool people, like SP thought he could just make stuff up and everyone would believe him because he'd been allowed to get by with lies all his life. But,..........when circumstances start mounting up and coincidences start showing up, ..............like they say, "There is no such thing as a 'coincidence,' when it comes to murder." :bang:

PS.....I would love for Lisa to show up out of the clear blue. But honestly, it doesn't look too good from here, imo...........fran

I'm not sure what time zone they're in. It's 2:16 P.M. where I'm at on the West Coast. Here's the latest from Yahoo though. It's from 11 A.M. today.

(CBS) PLAINFIELD, Ill. Divers from 10 area fire departments Friday morning were scouring retention ponds in Plainfield as the search for Lisa Stebic intensifies.

..........................snip........................

As CBS 2 West Suburban Bureau Chief Mike Puccinelli reports, 44 divers and 33 land-based rescue workers were searching four ponds. They began with 10 searchers in wet suits who held onto ropes and searched the perimeters of the ponds, then added other divers who went deeper.

The deep divers had to search primarily by sense of touch, since visibility was near zero.

Two additional ponds may be searched before divers finish up, but police want them to be done by the time the Stebics' two children get home from school.

Chicago is in the Central time zone. It's almost 4:30 p.m. there.

 

[gidget641]

I have not seen anything yet. At 2 I was busy with my teething toddler so I did not have Fox on then.

I will watch the 5pm news to see if they say anything.

 

[gidget641]

Ok the press conf. from the family was to announce a new 3 day effort called "Bring Lisa home for Mother's day"

The 5pm news said that nothing was found after 4 hours of searching the ponds by the Stebic home.

I don't recall reading or hearing anything about what time Craig normally went in to work. But I do recall reading that he usually got home around 6. But, 5:50 is sticking out my memory for some reason.

The 5:50 may be the time it was reported he arrived home on Monday, but I can't say for certain.

Also, for all we know, he could have regularly put in overtime hours.

From what I've read about that area, IF Craig worked in Chicago proper, that commute to and from their home (Plainfield) could be quite a bear (I'd guess at least about an hour each way).

I'm unfamiliar with the area but I know a little because I'd been reading quite a bit about the area on the City-Data forum, because my DS was planning a move to the area, and was looking at Plainfield as one of the potential future home choices.

Hoping one of our Chicago area locals will chime in on this.

A bear is putting it mildly since just about every highway in this state always has some sort of construction going on. On a good day I would guess that the commute is at least an hour if not an hour and a half. Figure in any construction, Accidents (cuz Illinois drivers basically SUCK) and it could be longer.

Thanks gidget. I forgot about Mother's Day - it was a couple of months ago here in the UK and I had to hunt around for a card the other day to send to my mother in Canada. (I managed to get one thanks to a clerk who dug out samples for me). Sorry, OT - those poor kids. I'll be thinking of them on Sunday.

I hope your little one is feeling better. (toothy smile)

I came back online and saw that part of your post I bolded, and for some reason I got a big chuckle out of it.

Sonny was driving around Chicago a couple weekends ago and was saying how much the people there liked to honk. He said he'd gotten honked at three times in a 2-block area, for absolutey no reason. lol!

Thanks for your post, Gidget!

They say there are two seasons in Illinois -- winter and highway construction.
If he could get from Chicago to Plainfield in an hour during rush, then he is Superman. I'm guessing he worked a little more locally.

Chicago rush hour starts about 5:30 am and goes to about 9:30 am and then starts back up again about 2:00 pm. On a Friday or the day before a holiday, forget it -- it's rush all day.

And, yes, many people here seem to drive like a (fill in the blank).

I always thought Californians were blamed for being the worst drivers.

I know they don't know how to drive in the rain!! They still will pass you doing 75-80, even if you can't see out of the windshield going 50 and the windshield wipers are going full speed. When it rains here, you can bet the accident rate quadruples, or more.

OK, OnTopic, LOL, I still think there's something fishy about when Lisa DID NOT go to the gym that night. The neighbor said she normally left at 4:00, her husband said she left at 6:15 that night. Somethin's not right here. Interesting that his story has been consistantly different than everyone else's.

When HE called LE for the verbal dispute, it was because she came home late drunk, yet she says he locked her out.

He said she left for the gym at 6:15, but the neighbor said she usually left at 4:00.

SHE wanted the divorce, he filed.

She wanted alimony (worked a p/t job) and he said there was no spousal support needed.

They were in the middle of a divorce, she was afraid of him, and he can't go to work because he's too distraught????????????

He sits by the phone constantly, but doesn't answer it. okaaayyy

She's gone 10 days and he files for sole custody of the kids.

He takes his attorney to his wife's vigil.

He says he can't do a lie detector test because his attorney said not to.

He can't talk to the press because his attorney said not to.

LE says he's cooperating, yet he's not.

Craig thinks we're stooopppiiiddd!!!!!!!!

We're NOT S-T-U-P-I-D!!!! We have his number!!

NO LIE FOLKS I just got HONKED AT IN THE MCDONALDS DRIVE THRU 15 Min. ago. Only two cars in line me and him...and he is honking at me, WTF

 

[strach304]

We know she didn't make it from her house to the school and I believe someone said it was 3.3 miles distance. If I were LE I'd be looking for a body also. It's like Clint Van Zandt said about this case, noone vanishes into thin air. Did aliens swoop her up?
