Plainfield Woman Missing For 3 Days (May 3, 2007)
(5/3/2007)
Family and friends of missing mother Lisa Stebic are keeping up their efforts to find her.
Last weekend was tough with Mother's Day, and this weekend will likely be just as hard as the family marks her birthday.
As CBS 2's Suzanne Le Mignot reports, Lisa's family continues raising awareness about her disappearance in many ways.
Their latest effort is a new music video, posted on the Web site FindLisaStebic.com. The video shows people from all over the world holding fliers. Each one has a picture of Lisa. So far, the Web site has more than 100,000 hits.
"Everyone is so moved and they want to do something to help us find Lisa," said Lisa's cousin Melanie Greenberg.
Lisa's estranged husband, Craig, says she left the Plainfield home they share on May 1. Searches of a nearby pond and hundreds of volunteers combing wooded areas turned up no sign of Lisa.
"We know there's absolutely no way she would have just run off and leave her children," Greenberg said.
Greenberg also revealed her thoughts on the recent late night police search of the couple's home.
"It was distressing to me that the children had been taken out of their beds in the middle of the night and sleep in a car, but I understand that the police need to do what they need to do when the feel it's appropriate to do it," she said.
Meantime, Lisa's husband told CBS 2 on Friday he was touched by the outpouring of support from Lisa's family, in keeping her story in the spotlight.
"I want to thank them, especially her cousins for what they're doing," Craig Stebic said.
Saturday at Plainfield's Spring Fest, Lisa's family and husband will be passing out balloons and magnets with the words "Find Lisa" on them. Saturday is Lisa Stebic's 38th birthday.
