New Autopsy Concludes Drew Peterson's Third Wife's Death a Homicide

Drew Peterson's third wife's death has been ruled a homicide, Will County States’ Attorney James Glasgow announced today. Kathleen Savio died in 2004, and her body was exhumed in November after Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, disappeared.

She was found dead in her bathtub, which was empty, but her hair was soaked in blood from a head wound. Savio's cause of death is still listed as drowning but has been reclassified as a homicide.

And so Drew Peterson resumes his throne as "world's guiltiest-seeming person." [Trib, S-T, CBS 2]
