Lifetime Channel is renowned for its thrilling documentaries. The streaming network has returned with another piece, Suitcase Killer: The Melanie McGuire Story, a documentary based on real-life chronicles of Melanie McGuire.
She was a remarkable fertility nurse, an admirable mom of two boys, and married her former-Navy husband.
With time, Melanie fell for Brad, a medic at her clinic, and an intense love affair commenced, followed by unthinkable action from Melanie. After drugging and killing her husband, Bill, Melanie segmented his body, packed the parts in three suitcases, and sent them into the Chesapeake Bay.
The suitcases surfaced at the Virginia Beach shores resulting in Melanie McGuire as the main suspect. With the assistant Attorney General Patti Prezioso’s efforts, authorities finally brought Melanie to justice. Despite the immeasurable evidence and conviction, Melanie maintains her innocence to date.
The film is a tale by Peter O’Brien, directed by Nicole L. Thompson. Starring in the film is Candice King portraying Melanie McGuire and Michael Roark playing Bill.
Other characters include Wendie Malick impersonating A.G Pattie Presiozo, Jackson Hurst playing Brad, Jermaine Rivers, David DeVries, Nikki Garza, and Tristan Laurence.
The 46- second clip unveiled via Lifetime’s primary YouTube Channel shows a lady finding the suitcase on the beach shores and then moving back to unlock it. “Who does this to a fellow human being?” says a man on the scene.
Suitcase Killer: The Melanie McGuire Story launches this Saturday, June 18th, via Lifetime Channel. This one is sure to chill you to your core!
