No News yet in Search for Stacy Peterson's Remains

As of 1pm this afternoon CDT, the Illinois State Police have not found any human remains in the area located near Peoria they began searching on Friday. While there is infact, a media staging area, State Police Master Sgt. Tomas Burek said that nothing has been found as of this afternoon and there would be no further comment. The Peoria County coroner has also been alerted that the ISP is searching for human remains.

Searchers are digging in Peoria County on the land of Alwan Friday off Grande Hall Road. Friday police say, has no connection to the investigation.

Drew Peterson's attorney Joel Brodsky maintains that Stacy is still alive and this story is merely a fabrication. One of many false alarms over the last two and a half years.

Yeah, Joel.. she's a waitress somewhere in Thailand, with the $25k she took out of her safe and her black bikini. Right. Of Course. Silly us to think that frootloop Drew had ANYTHING to do with this.

As the hours pass, it does appear to be another red herring in the search for Stacy. Some are speculating that Drew Peterson may have either let the cat out of the bag, or planted this story to get his name back in the news after the Joran Van der Sloot story broke earlier in the week.

Drew Peterson is currently awaiting trial in Will County jail for the murder of his 3rd wife, Kathleen Savio. Savio's death was investigated again after Stacy's disappearance in 2007. A new autopsy reclassified her death as a homicide and not accidental drowning.

So we'll keep watching and see how this ultimately pans out. I think this stinks of something, that's for sure. Either Drew is setting someone up to take a fall or he's trying to taint the jury pool. Whatever the case I am almost sure that he really doesn't know where Stacy's body is, and that was always part of the plan.
