PLAINFIELD, Ill. (Crime Library) — The search for a missing mother of two is now in its second week. Friends and family members have plastered missing persons posters throughout town, and, as of Friday, they took have taken their search to the web in hopes that someone might recognize her photo.
Lisa Stebic, 37, was last seen at about 6 p.m. on April 30 at her home, 13244 Red Star Drive. The following day, one of Lisa's neighbors reported her missing. When investigators went to her home, they discovered that her car was in the garage, but her cell phone and purse were missing.
Lisa and her husband, Craig, 41, have been married for 14 years, and have a 12-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son together. However, in recent months, the couple filed for divorce. Despite the turmoil in their relationship, they continued to live together. Police were recently called to the residence to settle a heated argument, the details of which are not yet known. The Tribune recently reported that Craig has a criminal record, which includes two felony counts from 1995, for unlawful use of a weapon.

According to statements made to police last week, Craig said that he has only had sporadic contact with his wife in recent months, and that it was not unusual for her to stay out late at night. He cooperated with police during a search of the couple's home and he turned over his wife's laptop for forensic examination.
Police say Lisa recently posted an ad on the Internet, looking for a female jogging partner. "I am a parent and would like to include my children in my health activities," she wrote in the posting. She also said she was "looking for partners to get out and enjoy nature." Police are not yet sure whether the posting is related to her disappearance.
