CHICAGO -- A television reporter left her job Tuesday after she was caught on video in a swimsuit at the home of a man whose wife disappeared two months ago _ a story she was assigned to cover _ raising ethical questions about her conduct.

The video, posted on a rival station's Web site, shows veteran WMAQ-TV reporter Amy Jacobson wearing a halter bikini top and towel near the pool at Craig Stebic's suburban Plainfield home.

Jacobson's two young children and a bare-chested Stebic are also shown in the video, shot Friday.

Staff members received a memo Tuesday afternoon from station officials saying that "Amy Jacobson is leaving NBC 5 News, effective immediately," according to the Chicago Tribune, which obtained a copy.

"Amy's contributions as a reporter over the last 10 years are numerous," the memo said. "Her hustle and passion for news have given us an edge on many top stories. She's worked long hours on many days, and we appreciate all she's done."

Jacobson had not appeared on air since news of the video broke Monday

Man Beats Peacock He Says Was Vampire

Man Beats Peacock He Says Was Vampire
Jul 1 12:01 PM US/Eastern


NEW YORK (AP) - A peacock that roamed into a fast-food restaurant parking lot was attacked by man who vilified the bird as a vampire, animal-control authorities said.

Beaten so fiercely that most of his tail feathers fell out, the bird was euthanized, said Richard Gentles, a spokesman for the city's Center for Animal Care and Control.

"It's just unbelievable that someone would do something to a poor, defenseless animal and do it in such a cruel fashion," he said.

The peacock, a male several years old, wandered into a Staten Island Burger King parking lot and perched on a car hood Thursday morning. Charmed employees had been feeding him bread when the man appeared.

He seized the iridescent bird by the neck, hurled it to the ground and started kicking and stomping the creature, said worker Felicia Finnegan, 19.

"He was going crazy," she said.

Asked what he was doing, she said, the attacker explained, "'I'm killing a vampire!'"

Employees called police, but the man ran when he saw them. Authorities were looking for the attacker, described as being in his teens or early 20s.

It was not clear how the bird made his way to the Burger King, but a Staten Island resident who raises peacocks said he had given some to a person who lives near the restaurant.
