Red-Light Cameras Not So Special?
A volunteer group, "Friends of Stacy Peterson", is resuming their search for Stacy, who -- in case you've been living in a cave -- has been missing since last October and is now considered a "potential homicide" due to the length of her absence. Her husband Drew Peterson is the prime suspect.
The search is being led by Sharon Bychowski, who is on the group's board of directors (why do they need a board of directors??) and is Stacy's friend and neighbor. You might remember Bychowski's story from last winter -- she received creepy graveyard photos and a cryptic message about Stacy Peterson in her mailbox. Bychowski was reported as saying, "We can't wait to get out and find Stacy." Also noted in the story was Bychowski's unique choice of yard decoration:
Bychowski had placed a large picture of Stacy in her front yard. The sign includes the state police tip line, (815) 740-0678. She urged anyone with information to call it. On Friday, Bychowski moved the sign to the front yard of her neighbor, Debbie Macikas."They are so excited searching for Stacy that they have asked me to share the sign," Bychowski said. "Everywhere she goes, she looks good."
Bychowski has also recently called for a boycott of Bolingbrook bar Tailgaters, Drew's regular watering hole.
The group's dedication to their friend is admirable, but isn't using giddy language like they "can't wait" and are "so excited" about looking for a woman's dead body a bit, uh, glib? It just seems like a rather upbeat attitude to have about such a somber activity. [Naperville Sun]

I could understand Sharon's excitement on the search for Stacy. It has got to be hell on earth for them with the murder of Kathleen Savio and Stacy missing. I think there words are very appropiate under the circumstances. They are not gloating over this situation. This is an unbelievable or horrible story that does not have a good ending. They are in my prayers and thoughts every day. I just can't immagine how I would be under these circumstances and I think any negative comment from the media should be withheld or kept to themselves in reference to these two families.
When one has to wait, day after day, for the weather to break in order to resume the search efforts for their loved one...the good weather certainly brings some relief of long anticipated stress which, as you should know, can be described as "excitement", however....is actually more realistically true heartbreak and anxiety.
It's rather unfortunate to sit here on the sidelines as we continue to watch this travesty unfold - day after day. It's sad (for me) that they hod this hope that they will find her. How heart wrenching it must be to look for Stacy when in the back of your mind a voice keeps speaking to you.
This terrible circumstance is not the same as looking for someone that went hiking and who hasn't returned in 2 days.
no, no one ever wants to be the one to say it but this story will not end with someone happening upon Stacy's body in some wooded area.
What I do like is that Sharon must realize this which is why her means to the end is through shame and humiliation. The sign in her front yard will never come down; it will always be a reminder. And no business wants to be boycotted because of one fuck nut. Eventually even Tailgaters will ask Drew not to return because it's bad for business.
It's sick and it's twisted but it's heart warming at the same time. I do wish for all of Stacy's friends and family to have at least one restful night's sleep. My hope is that they can keep this up for as long as they possibly can.
