Peterson, Stebic Grand Jury Term Expires
JOLIET, Ill. (Sun-Times Media Wire) ―
The special grand jury convened to look into the disappearances of Stacy Peterson and Lisa Stebic and the killing of Kathleen Savio will end, but officials say investigations into the cases will continue.
The Will County State's Attorney's office said Wednesday that the special grand jury's 18-month term expires Thursday after members met for their final session Tuesday. There are no pending indictments.
Authorities say investigations will now be taken over at regular weekly meetings of the Will County grand jury.
The special grand jury returned indictments May 7 on two first-degree murder counts against former Bolingbrook police officer Drew Peterson in Savio's death. He has pleaded not guilty.
