Last week a decomposed body was found by cleanup crews along the Illinois River near Channahon, setting off a storm of armchair speculation that it might be famous missing Stacy Peterson, the most recent victim of alleged ladykiller Drew Peterson.
Cleanup master Chad Pegracke of the group Living Lands and Waters found the partial skeleton among debris washed up on the forested banks by last years floods.
But alas, DNA tests have proved the bones to be from a male. The amateur CSI detectives can all go back to their tabloids without satisfaction.
