Craig Stebic named as a "person of interest" in case of missing wife

The news is getting worse for fired NBC 5 Chicago reporter Amy Jacobson. Six days after her she joined in a pool party at the Stebic home, Craig Stebic was named as a "person of interest" by Plainfield, Illinois police.

From, ironically, NBC 5 Chicago:

A neighbor reported Lisa missing May 1 when Craig Stebic called her that morning, asking if she knew where Lisa was. Stebic said he last saw Lisa at home at about 6 p.m. on April 30, and said he assumed she left to work out as she often did in the evenings.

But Plainfield Police Chief Donald Bennett said Craig Stebic has been of "minimal assistance to detectives and refused to participate in searches," in part leading them to name him as a person of interest.

Plus, they said he has refused their repeated requests to talk to his kids, who were among the last people to see their mother alive.

"Twice he has refused requests to have police talk to his children," said Bennett, adding that such action has "clearly hampered the investigation. It's our belief the children have viable info that would assist us."
