My bet would be that Lucius kept it all those years, along with the other goodies under the drawing room floor.
Hmmm... no, I don't think so. Because then how would Peter have gotten it back? He'd have had to come out to Lucius as still being alive and told Lucius that Voldemort was trying to return, and my impression as always been that Lucius was taken completely by surprise in the graveyard scene at the end of GoF.
Why didn't they use Veritaserum on Sirius before sending him to Azkaban?
This is a really good question. They don't seem to use Veritaserum at all in the wizarding justice system, which is really odd. I don't recall anywhere in the books where it was used during trials. For example, they could have easily used it in Barty Crouch Jr.'s trial, too, but they obviously didn't.
