New warrant executed in search for missing Bolingbrook woman

Investigators executed a new search warrant Tuesday night at the home of a Bolingbrook police sergeant whose wife has disappeared, authorities said.

Will County state's attorney's office spokesman Charles Pelkie said he couldn't offer any details about the warrant for Drew and Stacy Peterson's Bolingbrook home.

It was not the first warrant executed at the home. Illinois State Police carried out a warrant last Thursday that officials later said authorized troopers to search the house, personal computers, cell phones, a sport utility vehicle and a car owned by the Petersons.

Volunteers and members of the nonprofit group Texas EquuSearch spent Tuesday looking for Stacy Peterson, 23, who was reported missing Oct. 29.

Cold and windy weather kept searchers from using search dogs, horses and an aerial drone.

"It doesn't look good," Tim Miller, founder of Texas EquuSearch, said. "If something has happened to her, we know that every day that she's out there more and more evidence is gone and it's harder to determine cause of death."

Drew Peterson, 53, a sergeant in the Bolingbrook Police Department, has said his wife phoned him and told him she had left voluntarily for another man. But Stacy Peterson's family has said she feared her husband, was making plans to divorce him and would not have willingly left her children.

Stacy's Peterson's disappearance has triggered renewed interest in the 2004 death of Drew Peterson's ex-wife Kathleen Savio, 40. She had obtained an order of protection in 2002, alleging a pattern of physical abuse and threats, according to court records. The coroner said she drowned in her tub and a coroner's jury ruled the death an accident.

Drew Peterson has denied having anything to do with his ex-wife's death.

Bolingbrook is about 20 miles west of Chicago.
