After hundreds of these cases, you'd think I'd stop being shocked that people resort to murder instead of leaving their partner, but every time I find myself yelling, "Why didn't you just LEAVE???" The fact that murder ever feels like a viable option to these people is so mind-boggling to me.
Yep, the options are 100% getting away from someone through a divorce or a 33% or less chance of successfully getting away with a crime that will otherwise end your life in one way or another. Seems like a no-brainer to me, especially since I'm not looking to have anyone's blood on my hands anyway, that's gotta make it hard to sleep at night if a person has any soul left at all.
Defense attorney: "And you see Miss McGuire right there. Take a good look." *Jury looks and sees Melanie blinking furiously the words 'I'm guilty' in morse code*
Okay, let's break this one down, shall we?: - Melanie was having an affair - never reported her husband missing - closed on a home purchase with her husband the day he went missing, despite claiming she was divorcing him - disposed of her husband's belongings in the same type of bags his body was found in - was in the area the body was found the day before - attempted to have the E-Z Pass record of her being in the area removed from her account history prior to being charged - a second person, a unidentified male, also called E-Z Pass on her behalf to try and get the record removed - incriminating Google searches were on the family computer - victim was shot from the same type of gun she purchased - victim was shot using the same type of ammo she purchased - the drug the victim was drugged with was obtained using a prescription with her lover's forged signature - lied to a friend about who she purchased the gun for - claimed she had no knowledge of weapons in the home despite later stating she bought the gun for her husband - "misplaced" the gun she had purchased only two days prior - body was wrapped in a towel from her workplace - body was stuffed in suitcases from a set she owned - just happened to be missing those exact pieces from her suitcase set - was on CCTV driving the victim's car - told nonsensical story attempting to explain why she was driving the victim's car - claimed she was pranking her husband even though she had a restraining order against him at the time of the "prank" - no taxi companies had a record of the multiple, hours-long, insanely expensive taxi rides she claimed she took - likely had microscopic bits of the body on her shoes - those pieces were found in the victim's car, which she drove In order for Melanie to be innocent, all of that has to be a crazy coincidence. All. Of. It. Any one or two of those might be just a coincidence. Maybe even three or four. But ALL of them? Nope. She's not innocent.
Fantastic list. I would have got to the third point and forgotten what my name is. Well done. I have one point that was never brought up and that is that the house would have been insured so that she would have owned it outright upon his death. What better motive to go through with purchasing the house.
What I don't get is some of her family and crazy people running a podcast think this psycho is legit innocent. 🤔 How? There is more evidence in this case than many. People are insane and very dumb.
Fr....she's carrying her beloved husband's child in her tummy, and doesn't have any problem making room for her bosses seed in there as well. Over the teeth n through the gums, look out stomach...here she comes!
People often refuse to admit that just because they had an amazing relationship with someone doesn’t mean they can’t be toxic or cruel to someone else.
On top of everything else, she was cheating on her husband while pregnant with her husband's baby like the absolute class act she obviously is. Sidenote, the way she was clinging to her lawyer's chest and the fact that he stroked her cheek after her verdict was read suggests her lawyer was too personally invested...I mean... can you imagine that same interaction going down if Melanie was her husband? Or if her's and her lawyer's roles were reversed? It's just beyond sketchy...
She is so kind, sweet, blah, blah... she was having an affair for three years and planned to divorce him the moment the house was closed on... such a kind, sweet person.
Having an affair, and planning to divorce her husband, doesn't automatically make her guilty of murder. That just makes her a horrible wife. I'd like to know what the prosecutors put forth, as how she managed to kill him and dissect his body, without leaving any evidence. And how she managed to pull it off alone.
@@lennychorn147 she lost her gun about the same time she lost her husband, who turned up dead from bullets the same size as the ones used in her gun. C'mon man.
Did you see her looking at the friend who started crying. Her look was of surprise and pure joy that she was saying all these nice things about her and actually crying lol. Dupers delight on her face said it all. She's guilty asf
The moment I saw her standing next to her defense lawyer while being read the verdict, I thought "oh she is definitely sleeping with her lawyer" and then I read the court doc about the attempt to appeal. Her lawyer literally bribed the inmate to lie! I'm surprised he wasn't punished for that. They were definitely getting it on behind the scenes.
I have heard it said by a detective that innocent people don't answer a question with a question, e.g. Detective: Did you kill him? Innocent person" No! I didn't" Guilty person: "Why would I? or "How could they think that?"
When asked if she killed her husband, she flippantly answers: "No, but thanks for asking." She is one disturbed human being and certainly not an angel as described in court.
Absolutely, after she said that, I kept thinking, who would say something like that, in that exact tone, while being interrogated for your spouse's murder?!?! I mean, my god, if they didn't suspect her before, they sure as shit do now. Talk about digging your own grave. 🤦
@@mariannecontrino6297 the sarcasm in and of itself was incriminating enough. it may have still been bad but maybe less so if she was angry while choosing to use those same words. instead she was flippant and sarcastically joyful. her own unique psychopathic moment among many
I wonder if there’s ever been a murderer who - upon hearing a guilty verdict - throws his/her hands up and says, “Well, fair is fair! I gave it a try. Ya got me!”
No, because that's not the behavior of a psychopath / narcissist. Perhaps the most obvious case I can think of is Ted Bundy, that was a useless lawyer and yet he thought he could do away with a legal defense and represent himself. Some say that's the main reason he was found guilty. The key then, is to let these people think they are being clever, while at the same time, snaring them.
@@doranvee5944 often the first time they actually admit their crime is when they are up for parole. Parole is usually conditional upon taking ownership of what they were convicted of.
Unironically, yes actually, me - I came from an abusive home and was an unstable teen with no support system, I was forced to bring up my physically violent brother because my mother neglected us and favoured him, and I eventually reached a breaking point and got into lots of trouble (under age 18, Scotland). The court put me on bail conditions, which I breached, because undiagnosed PTSD and a volatile home weren’t a good match, and the courts said “put her on remand for 4 weeks” My only response was “that’s fair”, because it was fair, despite my terrible circumstances I was still responsible for my behaviour, and that 4 weeks became 6 (they needed to do a psychological evaluation and the guy wasn’t available for another couple of weeks), and I just nodded and said “that’s fair, thanks, your honour”, because again, it was very fair I suffer the consequences of my own actions (general assault, I dunno what you’d call it in the USA, battery maybe?). The thing is that 6 weeks was the best thing that happened to me, I had my solicitor tell the judge that in court on the day he was deciding whether to release me or not, and “if your honour does incarcerate my client then she fully understands and accepts the consequences to her actions, and has been looking into the education options available from prison”. I got released, thanked the judge profusely, and made a plan with my solicitor to get out of my volatile home, which led me to a young persons charity who got me semi-sheltered accommodation in a different city away from my biological family, where I was able to access mental health help (and diagnosed with PTSD and cPTSD) and physical health help with my lifelong conditions and disabilities, cut ties with my biological family and improve my life. It was the best thing that ever happened to me, I’m 31 now and if I ever got into trouble again with the law I’d still have the same attitude, I’m ultimately responsible for my own actions and should be taking responsibility for them, that means saying “you got me”.
@@ZombieSazza thanks for sharing your story. I worked within the Justice system in Australia, and in particular in Youth Justice, and I have seen firsthand the benefit of addressing factors in someone's life. Your mindset is still exceptional though, taking advantage of the options provided to the full extent. As a society, we should always be promoting services like the ones you accessed, because they make life better for everyone. It's unfortunate when it comes to crime that so many people just want punishment. While that will always be a crucial factor in a justice system, we must also always consider what needs to be changed in someone's life so they can become a productive member of society, because that is a better result for everyone. Obviously Mike's video's deal with some people that really don't have any to much hope and fully deserve the punishments they get. But we must remember the vast majority of people before a criminal justice system are not psychotic murderers, but just everyday people who have been in bad situations and/or made bad decisions.
She couldn’t have been that sweet and honest if she had an affair for 3 years and lied about it. Doesn’t make her guilty in itself, but it speaks to who she is.
Exactly!How can the people who testified on her behalf about her character be OK with her cheating on her husband starting only 2 yrs into the marriage?They must be OK with her committing adultery.
@@d.howard4218 I can understand not wanting to get involved in someone else's marriage, but if my best friend was cheating on their spouse and I knew, I'd want their spouse to know too. Because I'd want someone to tell me.
He knew she was going to be found guilty. I know it doesn't stop you loving your children, but she can't ever be there for them anymore. Imo that's why it was "loved her children"
Maybe it was a game who would come 1st him or the baby…that was one of the most immoral disgusting things I’ve ever heard…it just shows you two horrible ppl we are talking about…
i'm haunted by the fact that her accomplice was never found out. there's a person somewhere in New Jersey who helped this woman dump her husband's dismembered body into Chesapeake Bay, and he/she is still living free.
Can you believe there are people out there, going to work and eating out and passing us on the sidewalk, who are psychotic enough to chop up a human body?
It’s estimated there is 15 active serial killers just in the United States at any one time. the average person may unknowingly walk past 36 murderers in their lifetime.
The clincher for me was that Bill was found in the same luggage set that she had *and* those exact pieces were missing from her set. Coincidence? I think not.
Sometimes when you watch Mike’s videos, the stupidity of the criminals can be really comforting! But then you remember: these are just the ones who got caught.
I mean, if you're gonna throw a body in the water, at least put it in a metal barrel and sink it. The only reason they found that exact thing in an Las Vegas reservoir recently is bc of the worst drought they've had in a very long time. The victim had been there for at least 40 years. Good luck finding that killer smdh..
I love how she made claims of him being abusive and having the physical violence increasing, she bought a gun “for him”. Oh yeah? Buying a gun for the man you’re claiming was increasingly becoming more violent?!? Yeah. Nah. Don’t buy it. And I’m sorry. Why in the world would you take a cab all the way back home and paying to go all the way back to AC when you could’ve taken a cab to your car, presumably within a few miles? Yeah, she definitely did it.
yeah, only 0.00001% of people would complain about the fact that she is in jail. the other 99.9999% of us know she deserves to be in that jail for the rest of her life.
Ronnie Stewart Jr, hi! Yes, and how sickening is that? I don't know if the police said it first, but when Mike called it "human sawdust" I was impressed at the delicate way he put it. With that on her boot, how can she claim she had nothing to do with this horrid crime?
That never happened, watch it again. It was found in his car. There was no forensic evidence whatsoever mentioned on her, any of her belongings, or anywhere in the house. Which is, by the way, impossible.
@@theclassysassymama7515 it was chunks of dead Bill…Bill wouldn’t have that on his shoes. If they’re the only ones who drove the car, who’s shoes would that have been on?
“All circumstantial…she just happened to be there.” As some quote goes, too many coincidences is not a coincidence. She just happened to be shot with the type of gun she just bought, that she can’t find, threw him off a bridge she drove over to “furniture shop,” involving meds and blankets from her workplace, just after a huge fight with husband and while having an affair (and a dozen more including the bizarre car moving story)….just too much.
I lived on the Jersey Shore when this happened & followed the trial. There was never any doubt that she did it. Just wish we knew who helped her. Love the extended version of the "Life Insurance Dance"!
It could easily have been her father since he tried to help her have the tolls removed the day before she was arrested. I remember well the parents who knowingly helped hide and dispose of the young woman their son had killed and dismembered.
It's so creepy. If I saw a picture of the legs with no background story, I'd never assume they were severed legs that had been floating in water. They looked so, well, normal. Eerie. RIP Bill.
Yes! I thought so too. I also thought no way does that drawing look like him. But taking into account the bloat the artist saw.. ugh. That must not be a pleasant way to earn a living. Only knowing you're doing an important service would keep me from losing ít. 🕊️
@@laurametheny1008 I noticed that too. It was a really good drawing, the nose was the same in the drawing and the rest was very close, but it looked like the head of an overweight version of Bill. Then I was like "Oh yeah, water... Bloat." Brutal job but that artist is def part of why he was identified so fast.
@@laurametheny1008 I thought it was pretty spot on. As you said, you have to take into account damage from the water, etc. Gotta use your imagination a little bit.
I hate when lawyers use the old “no one saw her kill or dismember her husband” like that’s something you do at an amusement park or something. No one saw him being slaughtered but in fact, he was. Just cause no one seen it being done doesn’t mean shite.
umm...i think you missed his new tattoo, why do you think he's gone new shirt and waving his arms around. "Can we all sit back in marvel and awe over that shirt." typical low IQ viewer this is why you watch, because you need what you are seeing explained to you, in a simple format. "OH OH OH THAT'S WHY HE WAS WEARING A NEW SHORT- SLEEVED SHIRT AND WAVING HIS ARMS AROUND SO HE EXPOSED HIS TATTOO" YES, YES YOU DUMB ASS IT WASN'T ALL ABOUT SHIRT, THE SHIRT WAS JUST ONE OF THE CLUES YOU DUMB ASS.
The "finding his car randomly in Atlantic City" thing is even more ridiculous than it sounds on paper. For those who have never visited a casino... the parking lots are HUGE... like 3 or 4 times the size of a large Costco parking lot HUGE, and they are specifically designed to be difficult to get in and out of quickly. Casinos employ tons of tricks to keep you playing and one of them is making the parking lots a pain in the butt.
Seriously. I remember I went to Vegas with some friends, and we got lost when we were trying to find her car in the lot. Even though I pinned the cars exact location on google maps, and took a picture of the lot, level, and letter area we parked at. That was after we kept getting confused just trying to find the lot itself since they all looked so similar, and were right near each other. Trying to navigate the inside of a hotel casino is even worse.
@@cmm3699 "Trying to navigate the inside of a hotel casino is even worse." - Just remember... if you feel like you're going the _right_ way, you're probably headed toward a gambling spot. If you feel like you're going the _wrong_ way, you're probably headed toward an exit. It's totally designed to keep you in and keep you gambling. That's why there are no windows or clocks and you play with chips instead of money and you get lost all the time. "Oh well... I'm lost... guess I'll just gamble."
@@newgrl I’m not into gambling, so thankfully I won’t be enticed to stop anywhere along the way. I only went because it was for my friends birthday. Anyways, I found the best way out of those places was going towards the stores that were attached to the buildings, like a cvs or Walgreens.
Do ppl not understand that lawyers tell their clients to NOT react to the evidence? I read this on every trial i read about and there is a reason for that!!
@@aFoxyFox. its just the opposite in fact, with 12 different personalities, 12 different jurors you will get 12 different opinions and 12 different ways of looking at a persons guilt or innocence! It has absolutely zero to do with what the public thinks in a criminal trial, and has everything to do with 12 ppl who can and will take one eye roll, one snicker, one tear, one head shake and each will take that emotion differently and can or will convict or not based on that one thing as much as ppl think thats wrong.. its 100% true and lawyers will and DO say the same thing
You could throw out every clue but the “human sawdust” on her floorboards and that should be enough to convict her. And as others have mentioned, that creepy intimacy with her lawyer…
It’s inaccurate that we keep hearing “it’s all circumstantial” - it’s not! This is the physical evidence, why is it being treated as a footnote to the story?
I remember this case, I remember it well. I almost didn’t click cause I already knew the story, but I also knew Mike was gonna break it down different… and I’m not disappointed ✊🏻Thank you, Sir. I appreciate you and your storytelling. (P.S I’m digging your new fashions)
Throughout the video I was almost convinced that the jury was not going to find her guilty. I am SO glad that I was wrong, they did the right thing. She is clearly guilty and I'm glad that she's going to spend her life in prison. Bill was such a handsome man and didn't deserve to have his life cut short due to this monster of a woman.
So for those who don't know, purchasing a firearm for someone else like that is called a straw purchase. Its a felony carrying with it a 10 year sentence. So yeah don't do that.
She drugged him, drove him away from home while incapacitated, shot him and dismembered him elsewhere, drove him and disposed him at the bay. There’s no way she did it alone. Her affair proves what a skilled calculated manipulative liar she is.
@@comonena shorthand is a system of transcription stenographers use with symbols and things, so they can record the spoken word really fast without having to type out full words. It's becoming obsolete, I think my mother learned in in the 60s.
I spoke to her years ago at my old job. She called from jail with questions on her childrens COBRA coverage. Of course I couldn't say anything but it was surreal for sure. Probably, to my knowledge, the one time I've ever spoke to a murderer 😢
FUN FACT: anywhere in the United States, if someone can't buy a gun because he/she has a felony conviction and is thus a prohibited person, buying a gun for said person is called a "straw purchase", and is a felony crime that brings a mandatory 10-years prison sentence.
Interesting! Does that refer only to knowingly buying a gun for a person with a felony conviction? Or does it also include a purchase where the buyer is unaware of the recipient's felony? That seems like a harsh punishment if applied to someone who had been lied to.
@@jessica5391 but what reasonable explanation could you give someone to have them buy a gun for you? Straw purchases iirc aren't legal anywhere, but it ups the penalty if the person is prohibited.
I live in New Jersey, and this was a big case here. I still think she had help doing this, and I am surprised no one else was ever charged. What a monster she is! Those poor children..
She had a crappy lawyer - a good defense lawyer would have told her she's going down and tried to negotiate a maximum sentence in exchange for giving up her accomplice(s).
She's one of the sweetest most honest people I know that's why she had a affair for three years without anybody knowing because she's so honest and generous oh my God wow rip Bryan
@@julielevinge266 Its because they dont believe in our creators , we were brainwashed 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week , throughout our formative and marrying years and beyond. Some folks really believe that non sense - Because they are also taught their con-science/ conscience (which is our hearts and minds, which is mankinds built right in operating system, hard drive, and 2way spirit frequency radios all in one - With our father and Yahshua the christs /our creators laws,directives, and core traits built in, as our original core program . That we are all born with.). That our con-science is just nerves, to just ignore it and fight gainst it. And so folks are left with no defense against the devil's/ rebellion's demon spirit frequencies. Folks think the demon spirit frequencies are their own thoughts, anxiety, and mental issues, and sometimes they act those thoughts. Just trying to make the evil thoughts stop, to get some relief. So her concience is bothering her for sure, (unless she is cut off from it , by some kind of evil poison potion/meds.. Like anti depressants.) she probably thinks her guilt is just nerves, and doesn't know why she has evil thoughts popping into her mind. And there is the possibility that her doc boyfriend did the killing, but she is in on it. And their is no way to hide from our conscience, except by taking meds that supress the concience/ pshyce meds including tranquilizers . Anyway - Thats why she can live with herself. She probably isnt a evil person either, the demon spirit frequencies influence most likely got the best of her. Like I say, folks dont have any defence against them. NOT If they believe what they are forced to learn in school , and the lies are promoted and empowered by the tell lie vision, internet web, and all forms of entertainment.
Dude Mike .. I could’ve heard a particular case, told in a myriad of ways, by handfuls of people. I can positively tell you that, no matter how well I know the case, the way you tell them are ALWAYS my favorite way. For this, good sir, I thank you. 🙏🏼
Amen, I’ve been a fan almost since the beginning. I love how he’s really created his own style and you can really see how passionate he is about it even though he makes it funny and light hearted on such depressing cases. So I will join in on your thanks if that’s ok. Thank you good sir, and never change Mike, never change.
Well the majority of murder cases are over similar reasons. Personally I find this much more horrifying and evil than the cases of psychopaths/serial killers. At least with the latter 99% of the time it’s not that surprising that someone committed such crimes knowing they had mental disabilities for example and were abused and tortured since they were kids. However when “normal” ppl commit crimes like this one it’s done with absolute premeditation out of complete selfishness, evil and in cold blood and motivated by the desire for some personal gain. They also are fully aware that apart of taking a life they destroy so many others.
You have to hand it to the sketch artist. Who had the difficult job of drawing a before picture to identify the body all while using a decapitated bloated head. That picture gives me the chills, you can see the bloating in it.
I watched this case on TV during maternity leave. The best was when the prosecutor said there was NO DNA in her bathroom. None. Who has two boys and a man living in the home and no DNA?! She probably ran that shower for days after chopping him up. I also remember she went through the manned tolls on the AC expressway and all manned tolls register EZ Pass anyway, which she still had on the car. And the mob? Really? Too much TV
She was trying to pass Bill off as a compulsive gambler who ran afoul of loan sharks. It's not an uncommon thing in Atlantic City, but Bill wasn't that time of gambler turns out.
She's a nurse and Nurses have enough knowledge about sanitizing operating rooms & medical equipment's. And she and her step father tried to have the Toll charges removed from her records exactly a day before her arrest. Damn tolls spoiled her life!
Mob won't kill you because they want their money. If you're dead, they're not getting it. They'll just make your life a living Hell. They guys that she gave Bill's clothes to said the townhouse reeked of bleach when he went to pick them up.
Something people arent thinking about is that for a lot of nurses you have to learn to get a thick skin, when talking about sensitive things to people and sharing information. This is how she was able to stay so firm on her story.
She could have used the chloral hydrate to sedate her kids. (When she was shooting her husband and dismembering him, or to ensure they remained asleep while she drove to the coast to dispose of the body)
You kinda get the feeling that her lawyer probably didn’t 100% believe her as when he talks to the jury 26:06 he says “loved her children” with the past tense instead of who “loves her children” with the present. He is possible unconsciously showing that he doubts her a bit. Since a true parent will love their kids and put them before the hate or resentment they feel for the other parent.
If her husband being removed from her home in a 3-pc set of matching luggage wasn't suspicious enough, surely the measly 90 cent toll charge she tried to have disappear from the record certainly was! RIP Bill McGuire.🌹❤
I remember this case and as it went on, I was thinking…”Why even have a trial? She’s obviously guilty as shit.” She acted SO sketchy the whole time. Trying to be a seductress half the time, and a naive, devastated widow and victim of innumerable coincidences the other half.
The ridiculous blinking when her attorney was speaking. Each time he was saying something she'd supposedly "not done" but had actually done, those eyes went nuts!! Crazy witch, glad she was caught!!
Thx for reviewing this case so cleverly - I watched this trial on TV, she looked SOOO innocent and, over the weeks, was just hanging on her tall handsome lawyer, Joe Tacopina; in fact when the guilty verdict was announced she dramatically collapsed, weeping copiously, onto Tacopina, who looked a little embarrassed, hanging on him as she sobbed and sobbed - anyway, one of the two big things in trial was that their home reeked of Clorox and had been scrubbed spotless by the time the police came and also there was a whole big thing about the plastic bags w. a lot of expert testimony abt how black plastic bags are manufactured and how they can be identified as belonging to specific lots by factory machinery markings etc all of which enabled LE to trace the bags to Melanie - it was quite a trial and I always thought there could be a song written along the lines of "The Ballad of Murderin' Melanie McGuire", alleged she chopped up her husband in ire and dropped him away in the Chesapeake Bay, but she swears he was not murdered by her. Poor Bill, and so sorry for the kids.
Suitcases are becoming the standard for murderers. If I ever see an abandoned or floating suitcase, I’m just calling the cops. Forget about opening it…the sight and smell would live with me for the rest of my life.
i think Bill is de second case dat ik of dat involved a suitcase theyre might be more who knows one of de other was a little girl name Sandra Cantu who was also found in a suitcase wit drugs in her system
Hi Mike. If you're looking for additional cases, please consider my missing cousin Jeramy Carl Burt. He's never been found and the 15 year anniversary passed this February. There's incredibly suspicious people involved. I trust you can figure out who they are once you look into it. 😔 Thank you.
I needed that extended cut life insurance dance today. Even if it wasn't necessary for this story. Thanks Mike! 🖤 Love ya! Another great video. You're the best.
The argument that she never admitted committing a crime to people she “trusted and respected” means absolutely NOTHING. It means she’s smart and kept her mouth completely shut. A lot of the time people run their mouths to people they trust and they run straight to the police. Her strategy was to remain tight lipped about the entire event and just deny, deny, deny.
What would an innocent person do/say? Did you examine all the tapes and other evidence or just watch this video? I cannot say either way because I haven’t. One thing I would question is how she could have done it by herself.
@@genericamerican7574 I would question that and much more. Like you said. We don't know all the evidence or hear all the testimony. But I'm assuming the major evidence was presented here & it wad lacking big time, in fact. There wasn't any to speak of. It was all speculation and MAYBE a little circumstantial. Imo. I'm no attorney but I understand innocent until proven guilty without reasonable doubt! She looked guilty to me. But looking guilty shouldn't be enough to convict! This is scary shite. A crime like this would be hard to pull off without leaving some evidence. & a jurry convicted as did every comment here that I've read. Yours is the only one I've read that raises any sort of doubt.
I’m starting to think a lot more people should consider trial by judge. although sometimes that’s a bad idea too. I think she probably did it but there’s just too much doubt in questioning to send someone to prison for life.
@@sexi8784 Same. But, I for 1 would never willingly have a bench trial. No way I would trust a judge. They're pretty much attorneys with a black robe & little hammer. Every conviction is job security for them. I noticed you said "almost" though! Jurors need to start using "innocent until proven guilty beyond any reasonable doubt" Also need to use jury nullification!!!!
What gets me is the restraining order she put out on him, then states that she bought the gun for him. Why, if she's so frightened of him. Then, after a big fight, drove to Atlantic City to find him... but she was supposedly so scared of him, hence the restraining order. This wasn't very well thought out. Narcissists act like they can outsmart everyone. She was going for the big bucks, her doctor lover. It's obvious to me that she was manipulating him by the promise of being with him..and the only way to do that was to do away w/hubby. He would have met the same fate eventually. Black Widow. RIP Bill.
Naw... She was horrible. She got convicted on CIRCUMSTANTIAL evidence! She did him in, dismembered him, and dumped him. She had no idea they would find him so quickly. Every question they asked, she answered with "derp". She would have done a third of the time if she had just admitted doing it. But she stuck to her guns STILL IS! Man that is one psychotic bitch who I hope never rejoins society again.
Sounds like Amber Turd. So scared of her husband, was so abused by him, her life threatened yet bought him a knife bc she was being thoughtful 🤣😂 a complete and utter joke
@@MrThetit Me too, and I think the good ol' doc did the chopping and gave her a ride back from dumping the car along with the prescription for the drugs so they could take him to their hospital to kill and dismember him. She couldn't rat him out without incriminating herself. They probably both shot him. Too bad he is rotting in jail too.
I get that people need defense lawyers but it always disgusts me the shit they will do and say to keep people who are clearly guilty out of jail. I just couldn't live with myself knowing I kept a murderer out of jail.
She was paying his legal services with.....um............those initials that Mike used to describe her poor deceased husband's favorite card game in Atlantic City!! In trade!!
@@MrBeetsGaming It is not always about trying to keep them from prison. Sometimes they know the cards are stacked against them and they just have to take a deal and try to ensure they are treated fairly in the eyes of the law and they know their rights. Sometimes people come out of prison and turn their life around. Everyone deserves their their rights and a second chance, even criminals. Otherwise we would be living in medieval times, in some sort of anarchist society, or some horror show like The Purge. No matter how much people hate murderers there are reasons to be civil and humane.
Thats really any attractive woman ever. Always no shortage of men or simps that would be willing to help a woman in distress or if they want her all to themselves. Pretty women can make alot of men do anything, doesnt take much
Yeah imagine living with that level of gaslighting for 5yrs too while she was the one off cheating and scheming. Makes me sick for his family who now live knowing what he went through with her.

I followed this case and checked in every few years on the news of her appeals etc. I remember there was a website made by Melanie’s friends insisting on her innocence and trying to raise money for her appeals. I was always amazed how people could be so naive as to believe she actually stumbled across Bill’s car without knowing where it was, or that there could be any other explanation for her clinic’s blankets being in the suitcases, or that anyone else had a motive to chop him up and dump him in the bay. She was about to close on an expensive house with her husband while trying to leave him for her boss. She was obviously desperate and decided this was her only way out, because her only other option to stop the house closing was to blow up her life and reputation by admitting to all her family and friends and co-workers and Bradley’s wife that they’d been having an affair.
People like her are SOO stupid. Instead of doing a divorce, they murder someone and spend the rest of their lives in a dirty prison cell. I mean divorce vs dirty prison cell? Is the answer so damn difficult to figure out..? Shame on all murderers and restore in paradise InshAllah to all victims.
Fascinating insight. It is indeed mad how friends or people can be taken in when it's something they want to believe. Just like "The Imposter" documentary!
Well... just thinking on it a bit more, but couldn't her boss who she was having an affair with possibly have some involvement? I'm thinking particularly with the dismemberment. The whole video I kept wondering how a woman her size would even accomplish that, and when he was going to reveal who did it. Then... her? I mean I guess she could with the right tools, but to find no evidence these days is kinda crazy. And her boss did say on the witness stand that when she told him she & her husband were closing on the house, he was "yelling at her" because why would she do that if she wants to divorce him anyway. I start to assume the police did their due diligence and ruled him out, but then I remember they often zero in on their number 1 suspect (in these cases, the spouse) and it's possible they didn't quite do their due diligence ruling him (her boss) out. So in the end I do feel she has some guilt here but I don't feel she has 100% responsibility for what happened, nor has the true story been revealed.
Can we all take a moment to truly appreciate the shirt Mike is wearing please? As if That Chapter videos could get any better. All of a sudden he pulls this gem out. Thank you Mike. Not all hero’s wear capes.
Didn't even realize till I read your comment. At first I was looking and I swear to God it was the inside of a brain. You ever see fight club in the very beginning where the camera is paning out of the narrator's head?? Swear his shirt looks like the
I was ECSTATIC to see the longer version of the life insurance dance bit in this video🤣 LAWD Mike you’re incredible and while watching & listening to sensitive subject matter you are respectful, informative, & keep me tickled as hell with bits like the life insurance one. Thank you for always being respectful to the victims and their families. Oh and hope you’re enjoying your trip here to the states🇺🇸 Rest easy Bill🕊
Yesss! He’s a dang hoot! Never thought I’d laugh while watching such sad/maddening content but i find myself laughing soooo hard at some the things he says! He’s also super handsome.
I don't know how she thought anyone would buy that absurd, convoluted story about her driving her car down to AC, just happening to stumble upon his car, moving it, taking an incredibly expensive taxi ride up to New Jersey, the next morning taking another insanely expensive taxi ride back down to AC, and then driving her car back home. WHY wouldn't she just take a taxi back to her car after she supposedly moved his?
She and her husband lived right behind me&my parents ,they lived in the condos across from Woodbridge mall&we live in the houses behind them!I heard her step dad helped her!! This was a big deal in our quiet neighborhood my parents still live there,she was a tiny thing,so she def had help.prety good sketch of him too:)❤️from NJ Mike!!I luv the way u describe my home town!ty&than u for all u do
also from woodbridge township!! too young have heard about this at the time it happened (i would've been around 4) so it was quite a shock to hear him say it all of a sudden, had to pause the video and ask my parents if they remember it. sending more
I kind of figured that's what happened. The physician works in the city I live near in Michigan. He is a successful infertility/endocrinologist. I would have PTSD forever. She seems like a sociopath to me.
I love that you used the little commonly used medical analogy because I always say, "When you hear hoofs..." and just that, and people look at me like I'm mental. I didn't realize it was something I picked up working in the ER. So I'm like, "You think horses, not zebras." and it still takes people a minute.
How can she claim that she didn't do it? I believe that she had someone help her but the big question is who? Great watch as always Mike looking forward to more
Not sure exactly why, but I think it was the doctor. There’s something so freaky about her being 37 weeks (full term) pregnant while being “intimate” with the doc. Like maybe there’s not much he wouldn’t have done to get her away from her husband? I could be way off on all this, but between that and her (really confusing) turbo blinky eyes? Bizarre just seems to fit her. Why she wouldn’t rat him out if it might lessen her sentence? Maybe no offer was extended?🤷♀️
Clearly a deluded person. I wonder just what percentage of people in America suffer from these kind of delusions of grandeur and who lie all the time. Personality disorders come in a spectrum, but it's like half of the people in the country are like this.
Melanie's lawyer's theory: Bill couldn't deal with the highways jammed with broken heroes, so the Jersey TOWN ripped the bones from his back in a deathtrap suicide rap. Bill off'ed himself, chopped himself up, put himself in her luggage and hoisted himself into the Chesapeake. Plausible- Jersey can do that to you.
What a monster.. it was so satisfying to watch her lose it when the jury kept saying "guilty" for each charge and then to watch her get older and older in those interview clips knowing she's going to rot in prison. That sweet, innocent girlie face with the tears flowing down to try to help you get out of trouble doesn't work when you're a haggard 50 year old. What a terrible person.
Crazy how every time her lawyers denied an accusation her eyes avert down and to the side, and she blinks multiple times. Almost like....she knows her lawyer is lying.
I'm not convinced that Melanie acted alone in committing his murder. Someone had to have helped her. They found no evidence in her home or vehicles. If she had obtained a gun that couldn't be traced back to her, and if she hadn't gone to Atlantic City and done ignorant stuff with his car she might not have been convicted at all. Let's face it, her husband wasn't a choir boy, but he didn't deserve what happened to him either. I think that she and her doctor boyfriend murdered him together and she thought that they would grow old together in that beautiful home. I feel so badly for the children. Their father was murdered by their mother and they are going to have to endure the implications of that for the rest of their lives.
I don't remember how long it's been since she was sentenced. But now that she's been through a handful of appeals that were denied, I suspect there will be some deal-making in the near future. She will try to bargain her sentence down to something less severe in return for spilling the beans about her accomplice. Just my two cents. ~Cheers, from Michigan
I was waiting for him to talk about this one. I remember this case. I remember them discussing how basically she had remnants found in the car of "human sawdust"
One does wonder how it's possible to get the "sawdust" remains of a person on their shoes without having been part of the crime. I'm sure it's possible, but ... it would require him being killed in a spot she frequented, and a clean-up job good enough to not be found, but bad enough that it left bits to walk on. Which seems ... oxymoronic?
