CHILLICOTHE, Ill. -- What was supposed to be a weekend wedding celebration turned into a nightmare for an Edwards family.

Peoria County Sheriff's deputies are investigating the disappearance of Julie Peters, 22. Friends and volunteers spent several hours on Tuesday looking for the mother of two
 

She hasn't shown up to work for the past two days and Julie never misses work ever,” said Peters’ friend Abby Maurer. “If anything she's the person volunteering to pick up extra shifts. She's a good mother. She wouldn't just abandon her children, never."

Maurer said calls to Peters’ cell phone have gone to voice mail and friends have also tried unsuccessfully to get a response from her on Facebook. They said it is unclear what happened after she left Chillicothe.

Julie Peters was last seen at the American Legion Saturday night when she left a wedding reception between 10:30 p.m. and 11 pm.

Just take a minute and get out of your car and just look."

"If you have any information please either call the Peoria Police Department or Chillicothe Police Department or call 911 if you see her or her car," Peters said.

   It sounds like Julie Peters vehicle left the road and went into the river.  Very sad.    I can hear radio page outs for our local fire and rescue  and I'm amazed  at the number of single vehicles leaving the roadway, sometimes rolling over, sometimes striking a tree or guardrail and sometimes going into a ravine or water.  I think it only takes a few seconds of inattention, bad road condtions etc., and lives are changed for ever.
