Melanie McGuire - Biography
Melanie McGuire (born Melanie Lyn Slate on October 8, 1972) is a New Jersey woman best known for being the perpetrator in the media-dubbed "suitcase murder." She was convicted of murdering her husband in April 2007 and was sentenced to life in prison on July 19, 2007. McGuire is serving her sentence at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in Union Township, New Jersey. Barring post-conviction relief, she will not be eligible for parole until she is 100 years old.
In April 2004, McGuire and her husband Bill had been married for five years. She was a nurse at a fertility clinic and he was a computer programmer. The couple were raising two sons in a Woodbridge Township, New Jersey apartment, but planned to move that month to a larger home in Warren County. They closed on their new house on April 28, 2004, but never moved in. That night, McGuire drugged her husband, shot him to death, and then dismembered his body.
She put his dismembered remains into three matching suitcases, which were later found in the Chesapeake Bay. The day after Bill's murder, McGuire started covering her tracks. She began establishing an alibi, claiming after a domestic argument, her husband slapped her with an open hand in their bathroom, stuffed a dryer sheet in her mouth, and stormed off.
On April 30, 2004, Bill's 2002 Nissan Maxima was found outside the Flamingo Motel in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Five days later, the first suitcase containing his remains was found washed up on shore in Virginia Beach, Virginia. A murder investigation was launched.
On July 19, 2007, at the age of 34, Melanie McGuire was sentenced to life in prison.
