Volunteers Resume Search for Stacy Peterson

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]
