Lisa Michelle Stebic, née
Ruttenberg (born
May 19,
1969) is an American
missing person.
The mother of two has
been missing from her home in Plainfield, Illinois
since April 30, 2007. Stebic, 37, is five-feet, two-inches tall,
120 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She has two visible
tattoos, a small rose on her ankle and a large butterfly on her
lower back.
Her case
has received widespread news coverage because of her husband's
refusal to talk to the police or to help in the investigation or
search, and more recently when the local CBS affiliate
(WBBM-TV) broadcast a video of a rival station’s
reporter, Amy Jacobson,
at the Stebic’s home wearing a bikini. Jacobson, Craig
Stebic's sister, and her husband have all filed lawsuits against
WBBM regarding airing of the video.
As of
July 12, 2007, Craig Stebic has been
named as a
person of interest in
his wife's disappearance..
In October
2007, the FBI
added pictures of Lisa and information about her
disappearance to its kidnapped and missing-persons Web site
Stebic's photo and information were shown on national television at
the end of the October 11, 2007 broadcast of Without A Trace, a CBS drama about an FBI
missing-persons team in New York City
and detailed the next morning on The Early Show.
