The decomposed body of a woman discovered in a Chicago, Illinois, industrial area is not that of Stacy Peterson, who disappeared October 28, Chicago police spokeswoman Monique Bond said Saturday.
Drew Peterson is denying that he approached two truck drivers and asked them to transport a package hours after his wife disappeared in October.
The disappearance of a suburban Chicago police sergeant's wife is now being treated as a potential homicide, and her husband is a suspect, authorities said Friday.
Police are using tracking dogs, airplanes, infrared sensors and volunteers on foot Tuesday to look for a young mother who disappeared nine days ago, leaving her 4- and 2-year-old children behind.
