Peterson bathtub seized by authorities

JOLIET -- Detectives investigating the death of Drew Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, now possess the bathtub in which her body was found back in 2004.

One of the people who now live in the home where Savio died told the Chicago Tribune that state police removed the tub last week. A spokesman for the Will County state's attorney's office confirmed that the tub had been removed and is in storage.

Savio drowned in the tub only weeks before her divorce from Peterson was finalized. Her death was first ruled accidental, but has since been ruled homicidal.

Savio's case was reopened in November as authorities investigated the Oct. 28 disappearance of Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, from their Bolingbrook home.
