23-year-old Stacy Peterson

(CHICAGO) - Investigators in Illinois say a decomposed body discovered near the Chicago River very well may be Stacy Peterson. They say the remains of a female with reddish blonde hair bears a striking resemblance to the missing woman who was last seen

America's Most Wanted says Stacy Peterson, the 23-year old fourth wife of longtime Bolingbrook, Ill. cop Sgt. Drew Peterson, was last seen on Sunday, October 28th 2007.

Police say that Stacy may have left the house in a jogging suit and was supposed to be headed to a relative's home.

The 53-year old Drew Peterson said that he received a phone call from Stacy on that Sunday at 9:00 PM, but no one else has heard from her after a Sunday morning phone call with relatives.

Family and friends have organized several searches in the woods and waterways near the Peterson home in Bolingbrook, even calling in the Texas-based search team Equusearch to assist.

Even a drone airplane was launched at one point to aid in the search. The body was located in an industrial area. Investigators confirm that it is the body of an adult woman and not a child. An autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow.

Fox News reports that Drew Peterson walked away from their television cameras Friday afternoon when reporter Shepard Smith brought up the disappearance of his wife Stacy.

Fox says he says he thought he was going to talk about a canceled radio promotion on how to win a date with Drew. But the interview turned serious and Peterson didn't like it he reportedly stormed off the set.
