Former police officer Drew Peterson has finally been arrested in the bizarre case of his third wife's death on March 1, 2004.
Kathleen Savio Kathleen Savio was found in a dry bathtub and her death was initially ruled an accident. But after Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, disappeared in 2007, Savio's body was exhumed and reexamined in November of that year. An autopsy ruled that the death was a homicide staged to look like an accident, and ever since, police have been working to gather enough evidence to charge Drew Peterson with murder.In the year and a half since Stacy disappeared, it seems like Peterson has flaunted his freedom. He's appeared on television for interviews, mugged for the press and was recently considering a job at Nevada's infamous Bunny Ranch, where he would be featured on the HBO show Cathouse.
Peterson even found himself a new girlfriend and announced his (short-lived and possibly PR-motivated) engagement to Christina Raines in January.Peterson's Thursday arrest was preceded by a wrongful death lawsuit brought against him by Savio's family in April.
