Is Lisa Stebic's Family in a State of Denial?
I don't care how you look at it...this case is too familiar to that of Scott and Laci Peterson. It is a fact that most crime victims know their perpetrator...and the majority of homicides are committed by someone the victim knows. A large percentage of female homicides are committed by a man they have been involved with.
"In 2003, 1,817 females in the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />United States were murdered by males in cases in which a single offender killed a single victim. In more than nine in ten of these cases (92 percent), the victim was murdered by someone she knew. Three in five victims who knew their offenders (62 percent) were wives or intimate partners of their killers."

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />If Craig Stebic is indeed the person involved in Lisa's disappearance, what was his likely motive?
The pending divorce?
Having to pay child support?
Problems regarding child visitation?
Not wanting to pay spousal support?
Hatred?
Here is a detailed listing of domestic homicides of women by state:

Lisa Stebic’s cousin, Mark Greenberg said their family is holding off blame on who is responsible for Lisa’s disappearance until they receive further evidence. “The police have not told us they have a suspect…the people pointing fingers at this point are the media.”
What about the rest of the country? I know what I think. What about you?
Based on his actions (or non-actions), his odd behavior for a father who has a missing wife (regardless of the fact they were getting divorced—it’s called human nature and emotions), his refusal to cooperate with the police, petitioning the court for sole custody of his children as soon as Lisa went missing, and not allowing his children speak to detectives.
One who has nothing to hide does not hide.

This is really interesting and I've actually not heard much about the case. Maybe an opinion tag would help?

I'm new to this...what do you mean by opinion tag? Like the ones I used (Lisa Stebic, missing persons, crime, etc?)
