"Drew Peterson said his wife's family had rented the house to put up Stacy's brother, 28-year-old Yelton Cales, a convicted, registered sex offender. Stacy and others had painted the house in a vibrant color scheme, but Cales was picked up on a parole violation and returned to prison, Drew Peterson said. Stacy Peterson and her sister's boyfriend were painting the walls white again as a condition of getting out of the lease, Drew Peterson said."

"Greta with Bruce: Timeline of Sunday according to Bruce. - "Sunday morning [10/28/2007] around 10 AM, he [Bruce Zidarich] shared back and forth text messages with Stacey. She then called him at 10:15. She said that she had been just lounging in bed for a couple of hours, and that she AND HER KIDS were going to go to the house to paint today. Bruce was supposed to wait to hear from Stacey's sister Cassandra, and then call Stacey after Cassandra got in touch with them. Then they were all to meet over there to paint. However, Cassandra had decided to go to her mother's house that day, and didn't call Bruce. At 4PM Bruce sent Stacey a text message saying "Lets paint tomorrow". He received no reply. Greta asked him when he began to worry about Stacey. Bruce said that Cassandra called him around 7 PM and said she had not been able to reach Stacey all day. He relayed that he had not heard from her since 10 or so that morning, and that he didn't get a reply to the 4 PM text message he had sent her."

[Cassandra Cales and Bruce Zidarich appear before the Grand Jury]

Cassandra and Bruce

First time both Cassandra Cales and Bruce Zidarich appeared before the Grand Jury

01/24/2008 (www.chicagotribune.com) New Stacy Peterson sighting called false
"Grand jury scheduled to meet for at least 4 more months, prosecutor says"
"Stacy Peterson's sister, Cassandra Cales, and their friend Bruce Zidarich also appeared before the grand jury Thursday [01/24/2008]. They wore Find Stacy Peterson T-shirts and buttons, and left after about three hours in the grand jury room. "It went well. They just asked how Stacy was. She was a good person," Cales said, as the pair looked for their car in the parking garage. She said it was the first time she had appeared before the grand jury. She declined to share details about what she was asked. "They're just working the investigation. I trust the police, and I'm not going to say anything that would hurt the case," she said. "We went over a lot of stuff."

"[Bruce] Zidarich, who was the last person known to talk to Stacy besides Drew Peterson, or perhaps her children, said he was quizzed [By the Will Co Grand Jury 01/24/2008] about that last phone call. Stacy was supposed to go help him paint the interior of a house that day. "She said she had been laying in bed for a couple of hours. I told her about the painting at the house. She said it was going to be a long day," Zidarich said, adding that she told him she was in bed because she was depressed."
