Stacy was last heard from around 10:15 a.m. on October 28, 2007. She was supposed to help her sister and her sister's boyfriend paint their home, but she never arrived. Stacy's sister reported her missing to the police later that night. The police were also told Stacy had a troubled marriage, wanted to file for divorce, and was in fear for her life. When interviewed by police, Stacy's husband, Drew Peterson, a sergeant with the Bolingbrook Police Department, told authorities he had last spoken with his wife at 9 p.m. the night she went missing but he hadn't seen her since that morning. Peterson claimed when he last spoke with Stacy, she told him she was leaving with another man although Stacy's family do not believe she would have abandoned her children.
Following Stacy's disappearance, the Will County State Attorney reviewed the 2004 death of Peterson's previous wife. No charges were filed after Kathleen Savio drowned in a bathtub in March 2004. A coroner's jury had ruled the death accidental. In 2012, Peterson was convicted of killing Savio and was sentenced for 38 years.
Peterson has not been charged with Stacy's disappearance, but he remains a person of interest. Foul play is suspected in Stacy's disappearance.
