Coercion: force or the power to use force in gaining
compliance, as by a government or police force.

I don't believe it's called coercion when a SEARCH WARRANT was issued by the Court. It is a lawful search of the premises in which Lisa Stebic was last seen. There must be probable cause to search the house, so Craig if you have nothing to hide, then you wouldn't have called it "coercion".
Looks like Craig Stebic needs

a basic lesson in the Constitution:
Under the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, most searches by the police require a search warrant based on probable cause...in order to obtain a search warrant, an officer must first prove that probable cause exists based upon direct information or hearsay information. Hearsay information can even be obtained by oral testimony given over a telephone, so long as its source has a basis for its knowledge that is either reliable or has veracity, as determined by a totality of the circumstances. The standard for a search warrant is much lower than the lack of reasonable doubt required for a later conviction. (Source)
Lisa Stebic Filed To Have Husband Kicked Out
PLAINFIELD, Ill. (CBS 2) -- Lisa Stebic, the missing mother from Plainfield, tried to have her estranged husband evicted the day she disappeared.
An attorney for Stebic released a petition she mailed to his office. In it, she called husband Craig Stebic "unnecessarily relentless, cruel, inconsiderate, domineering and verbally abusive," and wrote that his conduct was "jeopardizing the mental well-being" of their two children, the Joliet Herald-News reported.
...Several friends painted a picture of an extremely troubled marriage. They said Lisa told them Craig threatened on several occasions that he would kill her and nobody would find her.
Family members have said the allegations surprised them and that Craig would never hurt his wife. But neighbor Amer Zegar said that last week, during visits to his home, Lisa spoke of receiving verbal abuse from her husband and expressed fear of him and his threats. Zegar and his wife, who declined to be named, said Lisa had been receiving counseling from the Guardian Angel Home in Joliet - a nonprofit organization that provides services for victims of domestic violence and rape.
The FBI and police earlier this week searched the Stebic home. Craig Stebic has accused authorities of coercion. "They say he's not a suspect. They say he's not a person of interest. But they come in the middle of the night, take the kids out of their sleep and force them to sleep in a car while they search for hours," said Craig Stebic's attorney.

One does not have to be a person of interest in order to obtain a search warrant.
