Whatever Happened To The Convicted Killer?

In 2004, Savio was found dead in the bathtub of her home (CNN). At the time, investigators didn't suspect Peterson of being involved, and he also denied having anything to do with her death. Not long after, Stacy was also caring for Peterson's two sons with Savio and they became a family of six. But the couple was also going through a rough patch. According to an interview with ABC News, Stacy's sister said that the children were the only reason she decided to stay in her marriage. "They were the whole reason she stayed in that relationship. All she cared about was those kids," said Cassandra Cales.

The mother of four was reportedly not allowed to have any friends and was in a verbally abusive and controlling relationship with Peterson. A few years passed, and suddenly Peterson's then-current wife Stacy was reported missing in 2007. This led investigators to revisit the cause of Savio's death. In 2008, her body was exhumed and her death ruled a homicide. Not only was Peterson now considered the main suspect in his wife's disappearance, he was also the main suspect in his ex-wife's death. In 2009, he was finally charged for Savio's death.
