In 1982, trial lawyer Bill MacArthur walked into his home to find the body of his beloved wife stuffed inside a closet.

After surviving a car bomb only two months earlier, her luck had finally run out.

The authorities immediately arrested him, not knowing that the actual killer was a client of his that he had successfully proved innocent of a previous murder.

Today, we're talking about the story of Mary Lee Orsini, whose brutal crimes shocked and upset the folks in Arkansas.

After allegedly murdering her husband, she fell in love with the lawyer who defended her

and vowed to do whatever she could to have him.
