FRIDAY, MAY 1, 2009 1 SOUTHTOWNSTAR news Stacy's sister rips Drew on the radio BY JOE HOSEY SUN TIMES NEWS GROUP Drew Peterson's most recent radio appearance was too much for the sister of his missing wife to bear. Cassandra Cales called in to Mancow Muller's show on WLSAM (890) on Wednesday morning and lit into Peterson, calling him a killer in a profanity-punctuated tirade. "You killed her after she, got off the phone," Cales barked at Peterson. "You will pay. I know what happened; I told the state police.

Guy Tridgell Candlelight vigil for Lisa Stebic Second anniversary of Plainfield woman's disappearance BY JANET LUNDQUIST SUN TIMES NEWS GROUP Family and friends of a missing Plainfield woman lit candles in her memory Thursday night, two years to the day since she last was seen alive.

Lisa Stebic has been missing since April 30, 2007. No trace of her has been found. She reportedly was last seen by her husband, Craig Stebic, at her home in the 13200 block of Red Star Drive. Police have called Stebic the sole suspect in his wife's disappearance. He has not been charged in connection with the case and has denied any wrongdoing, About 7 p.m.

Thursday, a crowd gathered at a park near the Stebic house to remember Lisa, a 37-year-old mother of two. Stebic and his children, ages 12 and 14, did not attend the candlelight vigil. No one answered the door at their house Thursday night. Laurrie Bingenheimer, Lisa's friend and neighbor, organized the gathering with some of Lisa's friends. "It was just something for us because there's still no closure for us," said Bingenheimer, who has said she believes Stebic is responsible for Lisa's disappearance.

"I don't want Craig to think we've forgotten about her. We don't want him to get away with it." The group said prayers and listened while several people shared memories of Lisa's life. "This is a very difficult day. Two years ago today she vanished out of our lives, out of her children's lives," said Melanie Greenberg, a spokeswoman for Lisa's family. "But she did not vanish out of our hearts." Police Chief Don Bennett said this week that none of the information investigators have gathered over the past two years suggests that anyone other than Stebic was involved in Lisa's disappearance.

"You look back at the last two years and all the opportunities Craig could have shown an interest in trying to find Lisa," Greenberg said. "He never attended a single search. He never (helped pass out) fliers. He came to one vigil, but that was it. I think that speaks volumes." Now, the police tip line is virtually silent.
