The movie Suitcase Killer: The Melanie McGuire Story recounts the chilling true crime of Melanie McGuire (played by Candice King). A devoted wife and mother of two, Melanie was also a fertility nurse who began an affair with a colleague. This led her to commit a horrific act: she drugged and murdered her husband, Bill. She then dismembered his body, packed the pieces into three suitcases, and dumped them into Chesapeake Bay. When the suitcases washed ashore at Virginia Beach, a police investigation began, ultimately leading them to Melanie. Despite her conviction, Melanie maintains her innocence, and Assistant Attorney General Patti Prezioso (Wendie Malick) was instrumental in bringing her to justice.
