The Illinois State Police are following up on a lead in rural central Illinois regarding the 2007 disappearance of Stacy Peterson, the fourth wife of former Bolingbrook Police Sgt. Drew Peterson.

Police did not provide any more specifics on where they were working, though a release from the police said that a media staging area is being set up near Peoria. There were no additional details available on the nature of the lead they were working on.

On Friday night, TMZ.com reported that officials believe they know where a body believed to be that of Stacy Peterson is buried and that they will be digging in that area today. The article said that the area being searched is just outside Peoria.

Drew Peterson is currently awaiting trial in the Will County Jail on first-degree murder charges in connection with the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

She was found drowned in an empty bathtub in her Bolingbrook home. Her death was ruled accidental, but prosecutors reopened the case following Stacy Peterson's disappearance. Drew Peterson has denied any involvement in Stacy's disappearance and has not been charged in that case.

Check back for more details.

Let's hope justice is finally done for all in this case!

1. Does Drew Peterson happen to know Joren VanDerSloot?

Both of those gentlemen have the most unfortunate ability to be the last one seen with women who eventually turn up dead.
