Authorities canvass nearby Lake Renwick
May 10, 2007

PLAINFIELD -- Local law enforcement and emergency personnel conducted another search Thursday morning for Lisa Stebic, the Plainfield woman who has been missing for 10 days.

~snip~

Officials at Lake Renwick said nothing has been found at the lake so far, but more searches are planned.

~snip~

Investigators tried to locate her by tracking her cell phone, which was a pay-per-minute phone, to no avail, Eiting said. Neither her phone nor her purse have been found.

Clueless here but ... aren't those the same type phones that I've heard that the terrorist cells buy because they are harder to track?

I've had this feeling all along that her phone and her purse are locked in the trunk of her car. I just pray she isn't in there along with them!

I wonder if he had any intention of calling LE. Lisa left late in the afternoon to go jogging. She doesn't return home....the next day he goes to the neighbors to ask the neighbor if she had seen Lisa. The neighbor said that she hadn't and then SHE called LE. Scott Peterson also went to the neighbors asking if they had seen Laci. This guy has tried to cover his butt
and is trying to make himself look good.

The husband could have murdered Lisa while the kids were at the store and then put her body in the car trunk. He probably drove her body to where ever he left it after the kids were in bed asleep.

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.

 

[CW]

I know one of the first questions I'd ask the oldest child if I were LE and got a second chance to talk to the children,my question would be does your daddy or mommy watch alot of news on T.V? Because from the way things are going it's like he's followed some case's of where the husband has killed the wife and acted like she had just went missing. Craig has sure covered his tracks so far pretty darn good. IMO where he's screwed up is by having his attorney file the custody motion while his wife is missing.

 

[MIO]

Craig is a guilty as sin. Filing for custody of the kids is just a smoke screen. He wants people to make him believe that his wife is the bad one here. In the case of Shelly Misinay, her husband did the same thing. He didn't take the polygraph either, nor would he cooperate witht he police. Nor were his kids questioned. I don't care if you are in the process of a divorce, you would still try to help. Craig's attorney obviously knows Craig did it too, otherwise he wouldn't even have considered filing for custody. Plus his attorney would encourage him to help with the investigation, not hinder it. GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY!!! These husbands who murder their wives are the most selfish, stupid cowards on the planet. Another mom will be found dead. Two more kids will grow up without a mother. Let's just pray they come up with enough hard evidence to arrest and convict. Shelly Misinay didn't get that lucky, so I am really hoping Lisa does.

 

[Taximom]

If he's so afraid that she'll sneak back into town and take the kids, then he should be keeping them home from school as well. (sarcasm intended)

What an idiot!

Strach, thanks for the "candy" info. I must have missed a page or something here.

Yep. Here we go again.

 

[TGIRecovered]

I think he co-operated just long enough to give LE what he wanted them to have. He didn't shoot her so no problems with handing over the guns. The children probably backed up his story that she was home and went out while they were at the store. He gladly handed over the computer and made sure he told them about the ad he says she placed.

I think someone made him aware that his stories aren't sounding very credible and could come back to haunt him. The way the phoney jerk has been acting I don't think he figured out on his own that noone believes him.

At least the kids are able to talk with social workers while they are at school. They may have information that doesn't seem strange to them but in reality is a valuable clue for LE. I know that my kids the same ages could give LE plenty of info about goings on in our home if I were missing! It is rare that my husband and I get to have an un-interrupted conversation, much less a disagreement, without one of them piping in with a question or offering their own opinion. Those little darlin's can be very annoying sometimes! #

My thoughts exactly, TGI, regarding the kids going to school and the lawyer. I just hope a certain someone isn't reading here and decides the kids are now too traumatized to continue to attend school.

Maybe Liz had a good hunch about him reading here. Could be that he questioned the kids about their talks with the social workers after they came home from school. LE said on NG that they had yet to question the children, but maybe LE can now get some helpful info from the SW.

A reporter is talking to Craig at the door of his home. He said his lawyer said not to take a polograph although he says he wants to and he said his lawyer also said not to talk about the case. He should be talking to the press, organizing searches and trying to get the word out about his missing wife not hiding in his house behind his lawyer.

This is exactly the way Scott Peterson acted when his wife was missing. These guys don't want to be in the public eye because of the questions they will be asked.

You are exactly right. If I went missing, truly missing, my husband would be on every news channel possible! There would be tears, there would be desperation! There would be pleas from the community! He would be frantic wondering what who was going to cook his dinner that night with me gone! ( I couldn't resist that!)

This man doesn't appear to care one bit about his wife, because he knows darn well where he put her. I don't care what the problems may be, these husbands have no reason to kill.

 

[j2mirish]

Strach, I think you are spot on.

I also wonder if the children really saw their mom, or if he told them "mom's laying down in the bedroom (or whatever) and doesn't want to be disturbed-go buy some candy."

Can someone here from around that area explain where they think the children might have been sent (I'm assuming by walking) to get candy? I wonder how long that trip would take?

Some Mother's Day this is going to be for those children...

I have wondered about the "candy thing" too tm-- how conveniant? is this something the kids did often, or is this trip clear out of the blue for conveniance?

ED MILLER, REPORTER, "AMERICA`S MOST WANTED": Nancy, my sources tell me, actually, tonight that this investigation has hit a dead end, that the investigation is being severely hampered by Craig Stebic, that he refuses to answer even the most basic of questions. He refuses to let the kids talk to the cops. He is hiding behind the attorney and basically everything has come to a dead end. He has refused to take a polygraph test.
This is why I am no longer staying opened minded. As I posted above my hinky meter just went off the board. This man know's what happened to his wife. IMO

And those poor kids heard something or saw something.....I guarantee it. The husband can't hide behind his tissue and his lawyer forever. IMO as well.

That tissue that is in his hand 24/7 is driving me nuts!!!! No tears, but in every video clip whether he is talking while sitting at the table, opening the door to speak to a reporter, at the vigil with his divorce attorney by his side or walking sourrounded by camera's there is a tissue in his hand. It is probably the same damn one since I haven't seen one tear.

 

[Seahorseladydi]

I am so not on the fence with this one... I have fallen to the side that he did something with her.... UGH! ! oops can I say that? lol.....

I posted a message on the site.... sad how there are so many people that have nothing good to say.... I just pray she comes home to her kids.. however that may be......

Bless her and her family!

Just some rambling thoughts...............

MOTIVE;..........In the divorce papers, Lisa was seeking for main custody of the kids and asking for child support AND alimony, while he said there was no need for 'maintenance support,' or whatever you call it. In other words, he didn't want to pay alimony.

IMHO, by him filing for sole custody of the kids, this would mean IF she were to come back, which I highly doubt, he would already have CUSTODY, albeit temporary. OR...............it would give him SOLE discretion on if LE could talk to the kids.

One of the neighbors said that they usually saw Lisa leave for the gym every day, about 4:00. They did NOT see Lisa leave that Monday. PLUS, the husband said she left about 6:15.

LE needs to get a SEARCH WARRANT...........NOW! They need to check the house and the car and, or, cars.

It would be interesting to learn if when he gave the $$ to the kids to run and get candy, IF they actually saw mom, or did they assume she was there because they hadn't seen her leave for the gym yet?

I'd be interested on what time the husband got off work that day.

They're getting a divorce, haven't spoken 5 words since October (yeah, sure:liar: ) and he's so distraught he can't go to work!

Give me a break!

Sorry, IMHO, the guy did it and he knows it!

I'm not surprised Lisa never told her family about the abuse. Thank goodness she told someone though. It's out there now and he can't deny it!:loser: IMHO, that's why, when he went to the neighbors asking if they'd seen his wife they called to report her missing. They knew...............

Apparently, he's been watching many of these missing wife cases and seen so many of these guys get away with it.

He forgot Rule #1IF someone other than the spouse is the first to report the person missing, they are most likely involved in the disappearance!

Guess he didn't learn anything from the Peterson trial.:behindbar

JMHO

I read 2-3 days ago on the family website for Lisa that Lisa would never have allowed those children to go to the store on their bicycles like that, by themselves. The poster said it was two miles away and I think it was mentioned there was a a busy street or two to cross.

I can't vouch for this info to be true facts, only the fact that I did read it there. Maybe one of our Chi-town area posters can address the proximity of the closest store (that sells candy) to the Stebic home.

As to TGI mentioning my hunch that Craig might read here --- I would bet dollars to donuts he does! I posted about websleuths on the family site the day after it went up. I've also seen a couple other posts by others mentioning for people to come to websleuths to post their suspicions, etc, instead of posting them there.

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

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

Is it possible she has been found and they are keeping it hush hush until the press conference?

 

[gidget641]

Naw I don't think so because the live shot that they had was of the police and fire departments from Naperville and the surrounding areas still diving in the four ponds in the area.

And I can not find the story on the chicago fox news web site! :banghead:
But that could be that the news is still being broadcast and some stations do not update until after the program ends. I will check again later.

 

[CW]

Fran I totally agree with your post and all the other members post as well. My brother in law lives less then 2 miles from Lisa's family home and there is
so much traffic on the roads and lots of malls and restaurants and fast food places there is no way in heck that I'd let my children on those roads on a bike.
