The Fond du Lac County, Wis., sheriff said the body found there by hunters nearly two weeks ago is probably not the remains of a suburban Chicago policeman's missing wife.
Sheriff Mick Fink said the chances are very slim that the remains are 23-year-old Stacy Peterson of Bolingbrook,who vanished about a year ago, but he said detectives from there have called to compare notes.
