Bruno even got rid of Melissa's dog, Zeus.
It wasn't long before Joanne says she began to suspect that Bruno had another motive for erasing the memory of Melissa.
Bruno was talking about Tonya Wilczewski, Jack Wilczewski's wife, the couple that Bruno and Melissa were out to dinner with on the night of the shooting.
Jack says he has no idea when the relationship began, but says he started noticing a big difference in his wife's relationship with Bruno the day after the shooting, when he walked into Melissa's hospital room and found Tonya and Bruno.
Jack says in the weeks after the shooting, he would often come home from work and find Bruno's car in his driveway.

Within months of Melissa's death, Jack says his wife went missing from their home, and he knew exactly where to find her.
