Podcast:Going West: True Crime Published On: Wed Mar 17 2021 Description: 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.
