A cleanup crew working along the Des Plaines River discovered a decayed body near Channahon, but police late Wednesday couldn't determine if the remains might be those of Stacy Peterson or Lisa Stebic.

"They're unidentified human remains," said State Police Master Sgt. Tom Burek, after the body, found on the riverbank, was transferred to a Will County coroner's van.

It appeared to be that of a woman, a law enforcement source said.

An autopsy will be done today, but a source said further forensic tests likely will be necessary to determine the identity of the body.

Relatives of Peterson and Stebic, who vanished in 2007, said they don't expect to immediately learn the identity of the body.

A blue barrel was seen on the riverbank three days before the remains washed.

A witness has said he helped Drew Peterson carry a heavy blue barrel, which he thinks contained Stacy Peterson, hours before she was reported missing.

1. Finally! The blue barrel makes it more likely to be Stacy...

Hopefully, they can get Drew the Sociopath for both murders now!

3. without a body it's hard to prove someone was killed much less who did it.

i hope it is stacy.... this guy needs to go to prison and spend the rest of his life there. a former cop should be treated quite well in prison. i feel bad for the kids though.

I too hope this body is identified as Stacy and Peterson fries. After his fair trial of course.
