I'm not so sure that Amy Jacobson was doing any investigative reporting when she was caught wearing a bikini top at a pool party at Craig Stebic's home. And why the hell is Craig Stebic having a pool party anyway when his wife is missing. Well, it's because she is not "missing" in his eyes, cause he knows exactly where she is since he is the one that killed her. I find it incredible that Amy Jacobson would bring her two small children along with her and put them in harms way by being in a murder suspects home with the murderer. What was she thinking?

July 13, 2007 8:21 PM I too have a problem with her bringing her kids to this fellows pool party but am aware that there were a lot of other children there on that day.

Based on the safety in numbers theory and that the cops are watching every move this guy makes under the circumstances I think everyone was reasonably safe.

I had to dismiss the idea of a romantic relationship for several reasons. Remember that the police chief said Jacobson was informing on conversations with the person of interest/suspect.

Jacobson was taking a risk to do what she does best.

Is he a murderer? Was there a murder? It looks that way but we are only guessing right now.

I am not condoning Jacobson's method here. I don’t condemn her for it either. I think we all want that case cracked open by someone, anyone including Amy Jacobson.

July 13, 2007 9:24 PM Please get this story out on your blog ASAP. We are under assault everywhere,even in the rural conservative confines of Iowa.

This is a total injustice and needs to be spread far and wide so that people can voice opposition to this madness. America's police are under assault, it must be stopped.

I can't begin to tell you about the number of CPD officers who are being sued,fired,criminally charged or taking outrageous amounts of time these days.

July 14, 2007 1:30 AM Amy Jacobson should use her free publicity to open a detective agency! She'd be rolling in dough!

July 14, 2007 6:37 PM This fiasco has completely faded into oblivion in Chicago,I suppose it is now in the hands of the attorneys.
