“The family of Lisa Stebic would like to send out our most sincere thanks to all those who braved the sweltering temperatures and difficult terrain, yesterday, to join us in our desperate search for our missing loved one.

We had originally hoped for 200 volunteers to come to Silver Springs State Park to look for Lisa - nearly 700 answered our plea, with an additional army of professionals to oversee this massive operation!Words cannot express the depth of gratitude we all feel for the outpouring of support and physical effort the Chicagoland community gave us on 7-7-07. 

Despite the fact that luck was not with us, this day, in finding a solid lead as to her disappearance…we will not give up the search.We did have a victory, yesterday…in that we have now eliminated this wild & difficult area where the Stebic family was know to often frequent.  

Our attention will now be turning to other locations where Lisa and her husband’s family were also known to vacation.  We will not rest until every possibility is examined and then exhausted.

Thanks to the generosity of the Community of Plainfield, Illinois & the nation - her reward fund is now well above $60,000.

We hope and pray that someone - who posesses even the smallest clue will come forward & help solve this terrible mystery, which is so painful to so many….

For we, her family, and the World - want to know where to Find Lisa Stebic.”
