Episode 46 Father's Day Bonus: An Unhappy Wife Leads to a Deadly Life
Episode description
In May of 2004, over a period of 12 days three dark green Kenneth Cole suitcases were discovered in and near Chesapeake Bay. One of the suitcases contained a pair of legs, another a pelvis, and the third a torso and head. The body parts would be identified as thirty-nine-year-old William or Bill McGuire, a New Jersey father of two sons. Following the trial of evidence would lead police to Bill’s wife Melanie McGuire, who they believe killed her husband to start a new life with her secret lover. However, Melanie claimed that her husband Bill was physically abusive to her, continually cheated on her and had a gambling addiction, had walked out of their house one night after a physical confrontation and never returned to the couple’s house. The media would dub the case as the “Suitcase Murder.” So was this a murder committed by a sinister mind in order to be with her lover or was Melanie in fact innocent in her husband’s murder.
