Summary

In 2004, three suitcases were discovered by different people in the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, and they all contained the dismembered remains of an unknown person. But when police released a composite sketch of the victim, someone came forward believing it to be an old friend from New Jersey. As police began to question his family, co-workers, and friends, one person in particular stood out as a clear suspect, and suspicions against them just kept coming in. This is the story of Bill McGuire, also known as Suitcase Murder. *BONUS EPISODES* patreon.com/goingwestpodcast *CASE SOURCES* https://www.nytimes.com/2004/06/10/nyregion/light-is-shed-on-victim-but-no-clues-in-murder.html https://caselaw.findlaw.com/nj-superior-court-appellate-division/1559582.html https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/72310107/william-theodore-mcguire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanie_McGuire https://www.dailypress.com/news/dp-xpm-20040609-2004-06-09-0406090098-story.html https://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/story?id=3301941&page=1 https://thecinemaholic.com/where-is-melanie-mcguires-family-now/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-mcguire-diaries/ https://www.nytimes.com/2004/06/10/nyregion/light-is-shed-on-victim-but-no-clues-in-murder.html https://archive.centraljersey.com/2007/03/28/mcguires-lover-tells-jury-of-their-affair/ https://www.nj.com/ledgerupdates/2007/03/mcguire_murder_trial_continues_1.html https://archive.centraljersey.com/2007/04/18/defense-defendant-did-not-conduct-internet-searches/ https://murderpedia.org/female.M/m/mcguire-melanie-evidence.htm https://murderpedia.org/female.M/m/mcguire-melanie.htm https://www.nj.com/ledgerarchives/2007/07/mcguire_timeline.html Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
