More incriminating evidence...

Another aspect of the case was that she was having an affair with her boss, Dr. Bradley Miller, for years prior to her husband’s murder and had discussed leaving William to be with this man. There was also a strange incident that occurred. Melanie drove down to Atlantic City, where William’s car was found, went to the parking lot where her husband’s car was parked, moved his vehicle, and then took a taxi back to her residence. The taxi fare was a couple hundred dollars, however, she took a taxi back down to Atlantic City the following day to pick up her car and then drive it all the way back to her home. Her claims are that she moved his car to pull a prank on her husband and she used the taxi service because she was too tired to drive. But perhaps the strangest part of this case is the package that was sent directly to the Prosecution. It contained a list of “ways to frame her”, her being Melanie, and it is believed that she is in fact the one who wrote it in an effort to point blame on her sister-in-law. There was also an “anonymous” letter sent to the defense lawyers which basically said Melanie could not have murdered her husband because I did. This letter was meant to sound like it was from a gangster to whom William owed gambling money. This letter is also thought to have been written by Melanie McGuire. This is also why she is being charged with tampering with evidence, because if she did write both of these letters she was trying to throw police off the trail of the case. The trash bags found in the suit cases were the exact make up of the trash bags found in the McGuire household. Also, there were fibers and hairs belonging to Melanie and her husband attached to tape found on the trash bags in the suitcases. Another suspicious element in the case was that when investigators were searching their house for evidence they were unable to find and DNA traces at all in the bathroom. The McGuire’s have two kids and the fact that there was no DNA found means that that bathroom was cleaned from top to bottom very thoroughly.
