ok, not to be gross but, if they found a torso and legs, would the feet still be attached to the legs?

Don't quote me, but I think they already said no feet. I could be wrong. Those type of details. We take in small doses... Why people have to do these things?

Perhaps this means that this is an identified wash up place based on water drift patterns.

OR the flood was Drew's undoing if this is Stacy. That is what I want to believe anyway.

Does he have a boat?


Friends of Stacy on her site, said no they do not think Drew had a boat.

This is a great map of the area. I wish I could find the link that stated that Drew used to frequent this area (not the river, but bars near it.)

This river floods all the time and did so massively last fall. Simply put, Drew could have put that barrel in the river at any point, not just the one where she was found.

I am under the impression that this particular area has been searched in the past and due to river clean up, it was suggested (since the flood) that the clean up crew take a closer look on shore while they were cleaning. It was that crew that found that body.

Tam -- Not sure if they will find the skull, the river itself is 20 miles wide in some points and is fed by many smaller rivers, eventually feeding into the Mississippi and the rest is history.


Aman -- Explain the Dresden locks to me. Would these have possibly prevented the barrel from ever traveling any further downstream? I know that it is way further south from where the body was discovered, but my question is, what is their function? Would the body ever have been able to pass this point in a barrel??

Wow, that would be very hard to narrow down an area. Possible that some experts could make a guess on where to look. I don't know..

The timing on this. It's weird. If it is Stacy.. I wouldn't think anyone else would have had access to the body and dumped it recently because they got scared when Drew was arrested, but I guess it is possible.

I have no Idea.
However, if DP asked his stepbrother to help him move this blue barrel from the bedroom to his truck and there is scuba diving equipment missing, how could he get this blue barrel from point A to B once he got to the river?:confused:
I'm now wondering if there is some third party involved after he left the house that night. How could he secure it down in the water and do all that alone.

Great questions Dianna. How long did the step bro say he was gone that night, about an hour or so?

How far away is this site from where Drew and Stacy lived?

I am so bad with maps and locations. TIA

Most police and fire departments have small boats available. Being a cop, he could very easily have gone and "borrowed" one. I am sure, being the clever person that he is, he knew where to find one.

Tam, I had wondered if that is what happened but I think that body was there for a while. Someone from the bar would maybe have noticed someone dumping something on land don't ya think?

Who knows tho and I do think Drew had dark connections.

Yes and it's feasible that he could have known someone who docked a boat and it wouldn't be used for a while so he left the barrel there? Then went back later or told the friend to dump when he went out next? How long before a body would start to smell in one of those barrels if it was sealed well?

The manager of nearby Mugzy's Bar said the body was discovered by the Living Lands and Waters clean-up crew, which the bar had hired to clean part of the river.

"We saw the trooper flying into the parking lot, and the Living Lands and Waters boat was coming down the river and the trooper jumped in their boat," said Ben, who asked that his last name not be used.

Ben said the crew, which is based out of Moline, came about four days ago and he briefed them that searchers had been sifting through the waters, apparently looking for Stacy Peterson's body.

"I told them that we had a flood last September, it was the worst flood ever, it was knee-deep in the parking lot. I told them if you're going to find anything, it's probably going to be onshore, because of the flood," he said. "They'd be a big help and get some closure to this case if they came across something. I knew it was a long shot."

The body was not in the water, but was found in the brush on the shore, according to a state police source. Other bodies had been found in the area in the past, the source said, including the remains of the Vaughn family, which were found in a car on a frontage road near the Stevenson in Channahon Township in 2007.

Interesting. I hadn't seen this report yet so apologize if it's been posted.

Hi Everyone, I am a lurker on the "Drew" board and haven't been following it much. Can someone tell me what they have found? I know they found a body, did they find a barrel also? Are they doing testing on the body today? Thanks for your help.

Hi Daisy
Yes, a body and the barrel. Although, they say that other barrels have been found out there before. This one was less than a mile from where the body was found.

I agree. Blue barrel washing up at the same time is very telling.

Not only a blue barrel, but a damaged one. As you would expect it to be damaged and this damage may have contributed to the body escaping the barrel and washing up.. Makes sense to me.

I realize there's been talk of sandra's evp, and that also many may not believe. Fair enough. She also did say Stacy would be found April of last year....however, it hasn't been too long since April of this year. Providing this is Stacy, which gut feeling is thinking it very well may be.

But I find it rather interesting some things...for one, Drew saying "Let's throw it off the bridge."

Okay, now I'm look for bars in the area! LOL There was a video posted and a bar owner was talking but Ihad the sound down so don't know if that person knew anything of Drew. It was the video that showed the blue barrel at the end of the video.

Good questions about the locks. If they are like our local damn, they open at certain times and things can pass thru. Big things!

Can't wait to hear what Aman reports. Maybe some locals on here know about the bars Drew frequented.


Yeah, we all know Drew loved his bars and young women. That bar owner that was on the video is the one that suggested to the river cleaning crew to search the shoreline due to earlier flooding. Weird, huh?

Yeah, I want to hear more about those locks and Aman has been there according to the previous posts.

supposedly according to what I read there is a bridge where he could have dumped the barrel over it.
If she was only around 100 lbs he could have tipped it over the bridge from the bed of a truck.
But with tides and floods there is no telling where he could have dumped the barrel and it washed up to where it was found.

I have a huge feeling Mike Robinson knows a lot of info as he helped Drew by providing him with a cell phone after Stacy went missing, etc.

This search started after that date, I presume? Interesting how the remains are found shortly after.

Strange. Shredded jeans and a small amount of US currency. Not sure what to think of this.

About the autopsy...disappointing that it was inconclusive.

Now, the autopsy is inconclusive which obviously means that the body was very badly decomposed.

A question. Everyone was speculating about the chlorine and where the heck that barrel of chlorine went. What would chlorine due to a body? Would it also decompose the bones or would it drastically change the nature of them?

IIRC Drew left his cell phone with his brother at a coffeeshop and left with the barrel.

The details I heard was that Drew left his cell phone with his step-brother. Made calls to his phone from Stacey's cell. Went back picked up the step-brother dropped him off at home, went back and pick him up a 2nd time and took him to his house to help with carrying the blue barrel then drove the step-brother back home.

IMO from what I have read is that Drew got rid of the barrel after he returned Thomas back home.

In the meantime Drew Peterson is likely to have his bail lowered and he could get released soon.:w00t:
If this happens they better keep a very close eye on him. He knows every trick in the book, he's an ex-cop.
House arrest?

Where is he possibly going to go where he won't be recognized?

He is too cocky to run.

Why would he run, anyway? He is just a poor unfortunate soul. After all, someone killed his third wife during their division of marital property and then his fourth wife runs off with a younger man and only a bikini.

His ego would NEVER allow him to run, IMO.

I wonder how long Stacy was dead before Drew was able to ask his stepbrother to help him move that blue barrel. Earlier we talked about how small that blue barrel was compared to her height and weight. Now we discover she is missing these body parts.
WTH? Peterson has her body parts all over Illinois somewhere, or what?:ohmy:
No wonder he's smirking and acts like he doesn't have a care in the world about anyone or anything...

The barrel looked plenty big enough to curl a small 100 pound body up inside it, imo. I think the barrel had become damaged and was most likely letting water inside of it and when it was finally hit again by something it caused the lid to pop off releasing the body into the waterway. The head, arms and hands are the first to disarticulate when the body has been in water for any length of time.

For all we know the torso/legs may have been on shore for quite awhile way back when the river overflowed its banks and then receded.

They have found blue barrels before that turned out to be nothing.

Does any one know when the barges come through there do they churn up a wake or waves that pushes the water out of its banks?

the women that found it talked with NG today from what they said this women did not even connect the blue barrel and SP until later on and then they called LE maybe she will be on NG tonight even though I am sure she has been ask not to talk to much..but from what I heard they was not told to keep their eyes open for a barrel but did not see the whole interview so could be more..

Hi Proud... Gosh, i'm having Laci and Scott flashbacks all day.. SP, Scott Peterson, SP Stacy Peterson.

I am getting all confused. I thought the women who found the barrel was not w/ the cleaning crew that found the remains??

Where is he possibly going to go where he won't be recognized?

He is too cocky to run.

Why would he run, anyway? He is just a poor unfortunate soul. After all, someone killed his third wife during their division of marital property and then his fourth wife runs off with a younger man and only a bikini.
<blech>

His ego would NEVER allow him to run, IMO.

The man belongs in jail!! House arrest is too good for him.

I really don't believe that.
They should be able to tell from the bones whether male or female.
Also from the pelvis .
Now I can understand not knowing the dna yet .
There is some reason for making that statement if indeed the coroner did make it.

I couldn't understand that either, trich. Maybe they are just being oeverly cautious until they can confirm one way or the other.

The state police ask her to send them a picture of it that she took of it and State was on there cell phone with her when they went looking for it.

Someone on here a few minutes ago said they heard that there were two barrels and LE had them both. Maybe this is part of the confusion.

I was hoping we would get an approximate age. I know they can tell from a skull but I dont' know if they can w/a torso and legs. I always thought they could tell how many children a women had too.

OK I see now why I am so confused the man actually found remains the women saw a blue barrel on Sunday she was not the one that found them she only saw the barrel as her and her husband was walking in the area and then saw it on the news on Tuesday..thought I was losing it..lol

The remains consisted of a rib cage, spinal column and partial left and right femur bones. The remains were found with shreds of blue jeans containing a small amount of U.S. currency, according to the coroner's office.
The head, arms and parts of the body below the knee were not found with the remains examined today, the coroner's office said. Authorities continue to search for them, officials said.:sad:

They were found by Chad Pregracke, the founder of Living Lands & Waters in East Moline, a nonprofit group that cleans up waterways in nine states.

Pregracke, 34, was alone on a 30-foot flat bottom work boat Wednesday shortly before 2:30 p.m., pulling garbage out of the Des Plaines River when he came across the bones.

"When I saw it I stood there for about 10 minutes, just thinking, 'Man, is that what I think it is?'" he said. "I wasn't super freaked out or nothing, but I didn't want to call if it was nothing."


A plastic blue barrel was spotted in the vicinity of the body. Channahon resident Michelle Williams told WGN Radio host John Williams this morning that she and her husband saw the barrel in heavy brush on the riverbank on Sunday and she saw it again on Tuesday.

I'm really thinking though it must be Stacy, perhaps because of the barrel(s)

The barrel looked plenty big enough to curl a small 100 pound body up inside it, imo. I think the barrel had become damaged and was most likely letting water inside of it and when it was finally hit again by something it caused the lid to pop off releasing the body into the waterway. The head, arms and hands are the first to disarticulate when the body has been in water for any length of time.

For all we know the torso/legs may have been on shore for quite awhile way back when the river overflowed its banks and then receded.

They have found blue barrels before that turned out to be nothing.

Does any one know when the barges come through there do they churn up a wake or waves that pushes the water out of its banks?

I really don't think so Tam. All of this damage and disarticulation is because this body has been in the water for a very long time. I guess we should be thankful that this much held together. The longer it stayed in that water and with animal activity on shore there may not have been enough where someone would even notice the remains there.

At least the ME does have enough that he can get dna from the largest bone.

It could be either one. Is anyone else missing in that area besides Stacy and Lisa?

Info they can get from these remains:

Male or female

Age

giving birth or not

Height

bone injuries

I was also wondering if they had enough of the rib cage that if there was a breast augmentation that the inserts would still be with the body. These implants would have id numbers on them.

I am sure they have contacted an anthropologist to look at these remains.

Not sure if they can tell if the person had a child or not. The pelvic bone may have already detached.

They should be able to tell the approximate height of the victim by the femur bone though and yes, if the bones had any injuries although it will be hard to tell if they happened before she died or after she was in the water where something could have struck the body in passing.

Since there is no skin on the bones I wouldn't think the implants would still be there.

They can tell if you have had a past break and the break healed. They can also tell injuries before or after death to bones.

Yes, you are correct, any old healed injuries they could tell but I think it becomes murkier about injuries right around the time of death and right after death if something struck the body as it passed over the body. Inless it was a stab wound or a gunshot wound.

It seems the remains did not yield much at all so far. From what the ME stated they could not ascertain anything not even if the remains or female or male. That tells me they have very little to work with.

I just ate at the restaurant she worked at a couple of weeks ago..sorry O/T but I think so many women try to get out and this is what happens so they just stay and put up with the abuse in fear of being killed..

I kinda wish DP had took himself out also instead of living like he has for all these years I know that sounds horrible but I guess it is hard to think of all these kids not having a mother or a father now and he may get out on bond but the damage has been done to those kids...

I was thinking the same thing. If it does turn out to be Stacy, I'm also hoping they can determine the rate of the current, and how far she would've traveled in the river ~ even though it's been over 1-1/2 years. I'd also think if the remains are Stacys that she was inside some container (like the blue barrel) until recently. MOO

Oh Lord yes, the infamous Motherhood Maternity Pants that were or were not the pants she wore when Amy cut Scoot's hair.

Just trying to catch up here.

What is with all the freaking blue barrels found in this river? Do they swim upriver and spawn here? Sheesh.

You know as much as I hope that either Lisa or Stacy's family gets their closure (whatever that means), one thing is for sure, this is someone's relative and they deserve it, as well.

Kathleen's children have been through mortal hades, first their mom dies and then their stepmom dies. I say Kathleen's children because the only children Drew ever cared about are the young female kind that he dated.

IMO, I would think they could ascertain something from the underwear that was found. The tag was still intact in Laci's pants, remember?
Heck, I remember you mentioning earlier, what if it weren't underwear and was really the bikini. Wouldn't that be a smack in the butt for ole Drew?

IMO, they will probably have something prelim on the DNA by Tuesday. I only say that because Monday is a holiday.

I was thinking the same thing. If it does turn out to be Stacy, I'm also hoping they can determine the rate of the current, and how far she would've traveled in the river ~ even though it's been over 1-1/2 years. I'd also think if the remains are Stacys that she was inside some container (like the blue barrel) until recently. MOO

here's an older article where they were actually searching adjacent to the Des Plaines River for Peterson.

I was thinking about that too. If it is Stacy, that barrel may have preserved whatever clothing was still on. Guess we could thank Drew for that if it is.

I am still not sure that the blue barrel is tied to this case. Now if it is Stacy, it may be, but several blue barrels have been found.

The shredding of the jeans just doesn't sound like a body that was entombed inside of a barrel until recently. Usually when that happens it is because the body has been on the bottom of the riverbed and the currents ,dirt/sand, will eat away at the clothing as it is drifting in the water. Also this victim could have been weighted down in the river and the floods in September made her break free and the friction of her moving along would shred her clothing as she struck underwater trees, stumps and other debris.

It makes me feel very uncomfortable thinking which victim I want this to be. To even have such thoughts is eerie in a way. Whomever this is certainly deserves true justice.

I think on one hand about Stacy and know that DP is already in jail then on the other hand I think of Lisa where no killer has been arrested but still walks free among us.

So my only hope that whomever this poor soul is that it will help bring closure for their family with at least knowing what happened to them.

Well, by visiting him in jail, the fact that he's been charged with murdering Kathleen doesn't seem to bother her, so it probably won't matter to her if the remains are Stacy's or not. MOO

did they go out on Sunday? since we all know it was located close to the remains on Tuesday right? but only because the clean up crew found remains..so I am guessing they did not go check until they got the call on Tuesday at 2:30 from the clean up guy

She spoke a couple of times on Nancy's show, and my post was after the first time, before she had explained that she didn't call LE until after the remains were found. But she said she took the photo of the barrel on Sunday because she'd followed the case.

Oh Lord yes, the infamous Motherhood Maternity Pants that were or were not the pants she wore when Amy cut Scoot's hair.

Just trying to catch up here.

What is with all the freaking blue barrels found in this river? Do they swim upriver and spawn here? Sheesh.

You know as much as I hope that either Lisa or Stacy's family gets their closure (whatever that means), one thing is for sure, this is someone's relative and they deserve it, as well.

Kathleen's children have been through mortal hades, first their mom dies and then their stepmom dies. I say Kathleen's children because the only children Drew ever cared about are the young female kind that he dated.

IMO, I would think they could ascertain something from the underwear that was found. The tag was still intact in Laci's pants, remember?
Heck, I remember you mentioning earlier, what if it weren't underwear and was really the bikini. Wouldn't that be a smack in the butt for ole Drew?

IMO, they will probably have something prelim on the DNA by Tuesday. I only say that because Monday is a holiday.

OK, whoever had the Mexican buffet earlier, please share, I am starving!

Lisa, Somewhere this morning, I was reading an article that actually said that people were putting blue barrels out there for a while because they knew of the reference to Stacy, and they were doing it as a joke.. Can you believe that? Stinking lousey people.

Hmmmmmmmm on the label..

Hi Tam!!

I am hoping for that too. I can't imagine that Drew dismembered her (sorry guys), because he could never have covered up the FE. It does seem like he stuffed her entire body into the barrel and dumped her, so the possibility of finding a skull is still there.

I agree Tia. I don't think he chopped the body up either. I am assuming they will be out there searching again the first thing tomrrow. I really want to know if there is cement in the barrel. Maybe a "leak" on that tommorrow.

Weird how everyone just gets a feeling when a body is found, who it belongs too. This time, I do feel like it is Stacy. No reason why. I just do.. Same feeling w/Laci and Caylee, the boy in the playground today.. You just kind of feel it..
