For the past 8 years CUE Center for Missing Persons has sponsored a National Conference for the benefit of educating those who work with families of the missing, bringing awareness to the vast numbers of missing persons, and, most importantly, providing a place for families to meet and share together in one of the worst tragedies of life. Bringing it all together each year is an accomplishment by the founder of CUE Center, Monica Caison, and her wonderful Board Members and staff of tireless volunteers.

From CUE Center website: Join us for our upcoming national conference for missing persons and all who work in the arena from advocating, volunteerism, investigation, search and rescue and identification process of those who are lost. This event is open to all who support the mission of finding a resolution for families who have suffered a missing loved one and been left a victim of crime.

The National Conference, titled “In Support of the Journey,” will be held in Wilmington, NC March 22-25.

This year’s Conference, as all those in the past, will feature many speakers, presentations and classes for the attendees. ImaginePublicity is proud to have 3 clients who have been invited to present this year:

Susan Murphy Milano: Document the Abuse

Returning by popular demand from last year’s conference, Susan will be teaching a class on Document the Abuse utilizing the information from the website and the Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit. Many missing persons cases are the result of intimate partner violence.

Diane Fanning: Through the Window; The view from a “Crime Writer”

Several of Fanning’s true crime books are cases which resulted in a missing person, the most well-known, Mommy’s Little Girl, which tells the story of Caylee Anthony from the point she was a missing little girl until her remains were found and her mother charged with murder.

Through her well researched blogs and her new radio show,Shattered Lives, LadyJustice reaches beyond the crime and into the aftermath where many surviving victims find a maze of confusion. Through her own experience as a survivor of homicide, she brings the audience information that’s needed.

Drew Peterson: Day #208

The circus performers continue their stunts as the Drew Peterson investigation drags on into day number 208 (two-hundred and eight) .

Have the Illinois State Police suspended their water search for Stacy, yes. Family and friends continue to look for her themselves. Armed with a new boat as they comb the waters.

There may be a solution in their search if proper equipment can be brought in to scan the waters. Northwestern University's Robert R. McCormick school of engineering and technology may have the tools to search the waters with tomography scanning and taking x-rays at the bottom of the river. All someone needs to do is contact the school and ask. here is the link:

The time line also continues to be filled with holes. So here is my opinion, a version of what I believe may have happened:

Oct. 26, 2007 - Stacy Peterson allegedly tells Drew Peterson she wants a divorce, after meeting attorney Harry Smith. Mr. Smith is the same lawyer who represented Kathleen Savio in her divorce.

Oct. 27 6:30 -P.M.-11:30 p.m. -Dinner at Drew's House. The air is tense when Drew stops in to have dinner with the family. Drew goes back to work and Cassandra Cales leaves her sister Stacy Peterson’s home with plans to meet at 10 a.m. the next morning to help paint a house

Oct. 28 9:40 a.m. - Peterson neighbor leaves her home to go to the grocery store and notes seeing both of the Peterson’s vehicle in their driveway.

10:15 a.m. - A friend calls Stacy Peterson about painting the house that day. Peterson, still in bed, says she will meet to paint the house later.Stacy is still alive the kids hear arguing between Stacy and Drew. There is a possibility by accident, while still in bed Stacy, hits her head during the fight or Drew has grabbed her by her neck. Her neck snaps , Stacy dies. Drew carries Stacy into the connecting bathroom of their bedroom and closes the door. He has to think quickly. The kids don't have a reason to question anything and resume their activities.

11:15 a.m. - Neighbor returns from the grocery store and says she saw only one of the vehicles in Peterson’s driveway.Noon-Neighbor calls next door to see if the Peterson children want to come over for suckers. She asks for Stacy when one of the children answers the phone and Drew Peterson tells her his wife went to visit her grandfather.

1 p.m. Drew Peterson brings the children over to Neighbors home and tells her he has an errand to run. He returns in about 15 minutes.

1:40 P.M. Drew is in the garage with the door shut. Kids are playing in the house. He carries a blue cooler container into their bedroom while instructing the boys to watch the little ones. He locks the door. At this point who knows, besides the possibility of Stacy's body what else could have been placed into the cooler/container.

5:00 P.M. Drew calls in to Bollingbrook police station and takes the day off.

5:30-6 P.M. Drew goes about his routine and prepare dinner for the kids.

7:45 P.M. Thomas Morphey is with Drew having coffee.
Stacy's phone rings around 9:00 p.m. and Drew instructs him not to answer the telephone.

9:45- 10 P.M. Drew Peterson and Thomas Morphey go into the house to the upstairs bedroom. The container is in the bathroom and the two men carry it downstairs to the back of Drew's car and load the cooler type container into the car.On the way to his destination he stops at a gas station and fills up the car with gas.Around

10:30 P.M. Drew arrives to 135th street.
He opens the bed of the truck and removes the container is Thomas Morhey with him, watching it until it goes into the river?

11 p.m. Cales goes to Peterson’s home and does not see either vehicle in the driveway. One of Peterson’s children opens the door and tells Cales that he is home alone with his three siblings and that Stacy and Drew had gotten into a fight. He said Stacy Peterson had left the house and Drew went out to look for her.

11:15 p.m. - Cales calls Drew Peterson and asks for Stacy. Cales hears shuffling and keys going into the ignition. Peterson tells Cales he’s at home and had been out looking for his wife.

Oct. 29 1 a.m. - Cales goes to the Bolingbrook Police Department to file a missing persons report.

2:30 a.m. - Cales returns to Peterson’s home and sees both cars in the driveway. Cales’ friend calls Drew Peterson and asks him where Stacy is at. Peterson said his wife left him, took money and left her car at Clow International Airport.

4 a.m. - Cales files a missing persons report with Illinois State Police.
