Family, Friends Hold Out Hope for Stebic

Lisa Stebic disappeared April 30, 2007

Family and friends on Thursday marked the second anniversary of the disappearance of Lisa Stebic.

With a candlelight vigil in Plainfield, they said they wanted to make sure she is not forgotten.

Stebic disappeared on the same day she sent her divorce attorney a petition seeking to evict her husband from their home.  She hasn't been seen since.

"It's very frustrating for the family that two years have passed and we still don't have answers as to what happened to Lisa that day that she disappeared," Melanie Greenberg, a spokeswoman for Lisa's family, was quoted by the Plainfield Sun as saying. "We know it's not a cold case, but it's very difficult not knowing and not having resolution."

Plainfield police say their investigation has narrowed their focus to one person, who they believe knows more about what happened to Lisa than he lets on: her husband.

"America's Most Wanted" featured a segment on the search for Lisa last fall. Her family worked tirelessly to keep the investigation in the headlines and in the minds of the public.  They have created vehicle magnets decorated with Lisa's photo, the police tip line, family Web site and the $75,000 reward for information on Lisa's whereabouts. They are selling the magnets for $10 via e-mail (findlisastebic@gmail.com).

Anyone with information about Lisa Stebic's case is asked to call the Plainfield Police Department at 815-267-7217 or Will County Crime Stoppers at 800-323-6734.
