Federal agents and Illinois State Police were back at it again in the Shorewood forest preserve Thursday.
For a supposedly routine search, the FBI and Illinois State Police are sure investing a lot of time, effort and money. A couple dozen federal agents and state troopers spent a fourth full day in Shorewood's Hammel Woods, poking around the park for some sign of missing mom Stacy Peterson. A state police source close to the five-year-old Stacy Peterson case said on Monday the operation was just one of numerous searches conducted periodically in locations investigators believe Stacy's body may have been left. But the agents and troopers—along with high-tech equipment and cadaver dogs—returned the next day, and then came back again Wednesday and Thursday, leaving many wondering just what exactly has been happening in Hammel Woods.

The FBI and Illinois State Police have spent two days in Hammel Woods looking for Stacy Peterson while missing mom Linda Fellenbaum has been gone for more than two weeks.
While FBI agents and state troopers spent a second straight day scouring Hammel Woods for some sign of missing mom Stacy Peterson, there was no one to be found in a Joliet cul-de-sac just six miles away, the one where another mother was supposedly seen running off barefoot, never to be seen again. That mother, Linda Fellenbaum, 33, disappeared Oct. 21, leaving her cell phone, shoes and Toyota Camry at the home of the Joliet man she moved in with only two months before. Fellenbaum and her Joliet boyfriend, Donald Wolak, 40, had met on the Internet, police said, and their short relationship was made out to be a stormy one. Wolak told police Fellenbaum took off on him five days before disappeared for good. And when she absconded on Oct. 16, …
Despite wet conditions, state troopers and federal agents continued their search for Stacy Peterson in Shorewood's Hammel Woods.
For a second straight day, federal agents and Illinois State Police troopers combed through Hammel Woods in Shorewood, searching for a sign of missing mom Stacy Peterson. On Monday, a state police source confirmed troopers and FBI agents had launched a search for the vanished wife of disgraced former Bolingbrook cop Drew Peterson. FBI spokeswoman Joan Hyde also said agents with the feds' Evidence Response Team were in the woods "working with ISP as part of an ongoing criminal investigation." Despite persistent rain, agents and troopers were back at it Tuesday. The FBI provided a large recreation vehicle. On Monday, helicopters, boats and police dogs were employed in the joint operation. It was not clear how the inclement weather would …

An emergency hearing in the Drew Peterson murder case has been set for late Friday afternoon.
An emergency motion to "limit electronic communication" was filed Wednesday in the Drew Peterson murder case and will be argued during a hearing Friday. The motion was impounded and its contents are not available for the press or public to view. Charles B. Pelkie, the spokesman for State's Attorney James Glasgow's office, declined to comment on the text of the motion but did say it pertains to procedural matters. Peterson, a 58-year-old disgraced former Bolingbrook cop, faces charges he killed his third wife, Kathleen Savio. He is also the sole suspect in the investigation of the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, but faces no criminal charges in that matter. Drew Peterson's self-proclaimed "lead attorney," Joel Brodsky, had…

Update: The Chicago Tribune changed its headline — is it because they saw this?
The Chicago Tribune reported today that Drew Peterson is dropping an appeal that he never made in the first place. "Drew Peterson drops appeal, says he's ready for trial to begin," blares the story's headline (which has since been changed. Now he's dropping a "battle." Can you drop a battle?). Except there's no appeal to drop. The story also said Peterson's lawyers sent a motion to the Third District Appellate Court in Ottawa in hopes of hurrying the case along by waiving a mandatory 35-day waiting period. Except for the 35-day waiting period is mandatory. Peterson has been locked up in the Will County jail for nearly three years while he waits on the start of his trial on charges he murdered his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Peterson is …

After 16 years, the father of Rachel Mellon just wants to privately acknowledge the anniversary of his daughter's disappearance.
It's hard to admit your missing daughter's probably not coming back, that the ones who made her missing will likely never answer for it. But after a while, it's easier than telling yourself otherwise. "It just wraps my emotions up too much," Rachel Mellon's father, Jeff Skemp, said of his struggles coming to terms with his daughter's disappearance. "I think what Rachel wants is for us to move on," Skemp said. "I mean, I know she wants justice, but I'm not holding my breath." Rachel was 13 when she vanished 16 years ago today. The morning the Bolingbrook girl was last seen alive, she stayed home from school with a sore throat and was alone with her unemployed stepfather, Vince Mellon. The first anyone realized Rachel was not sleeping off …

There's been no sign of Stacy Peterson since she vanished four years ago today, but her family believes the police are still working hard to find her, and the husband they suspect harmed her remains in jail on a murder charge.
On Oct. 18, Stacy and Drew Peterson would have been able to celebrate their eighth wedding anniversary together, maybe slipping off on a romantic Caribbean getaway as they had in the past. Only Drew Peterson has been locked up since 2009 on charges he murdered the woman he left for Stacy. And the last anyone saw of Stacy was exactly four years ago today. That’s because she took off on a tropical trip of her own with some other guy, never to be seen again. At least that’s the way Drew Peterson told it. Not that anyone — particularly the police — seemed to buy his story. Instead, within weeks of Stacy’s disappearance, Illinois State Police Capt. Carl Dobrich declared that the missing mother was the victim of a “potential homicide” and that …

Drew Peterson's third wife was killed more than seven years ago. His fourth wife has been missing for three and a half years. Peterson has spent the last two years in a jail cell waiting for a jury to decide his fate.
Two years ago tomorrow, Drew Peterson climbed inside his missing fourth wife’s Pontiac Grand Prix, pulled out of his cul-de-sac and drove away to run some errands. Peterson didn’t make it a mile before a small army of state cops descended on him, pulled him out of the car, snatched off his sunglasses and took him to jail. Peterson has sat there since, waiting in the Will County Adult Detention Facility to be tried on charges he killed his third wife, Kathleen Savio. In the two years Peterson, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant, has been locked up, one of the sons he had with his slain third wife was named valedictorian of Bolingbrook High School. A son he had with his first wife lost his job as an Oak Brook police officer due to his …
