|
CREST HILL, Ill. (CBS) -- CBS 2 has learned that Illinois State Police recovered more evidence from the Des Plaines River that sources say is related to a body found on the river bank on Wednesday.
That body was a human torso missing a head, arms and legs below the knees.
Police would not confirm that the items found Saturday were bones from the skeleton.
The Will County Coroner's Office is conducting DNA tests to determine if the body belongs to either of two missing Will County women: Lisa Stebic, who vanished more than two years ago, or Stacy Peterson, who disappeared in late October 2007.
The coroner said the gender of the body could not be determined but sources tell CBS 2 it appeared to be a woman, based on the clothing found with the remains.
DNA analysis should be complete in the next couple of weeks.
Investigators have DNA samples from both missing women.
