But as the defense shows, that may not be as bad as it seems.

No, I don't.

Preziosu admits she cannot pinpoint when or even where the murder occurred, but she has a theory.

I believe it happened in the apartment.

That apartment, particularly the bathroom, was painstakingly searched.

Not once, not twice.

They went into the apartment five times.

All to no avail.

Frazioso shrugs that off, suggesting Melanie did a thorough cleaning job.

We have somebody who is very bright, who was doing computer searches and research on how to do this effectively.

Perhaps the strongest evidence against Melanie McGuire is the very story she herself has told, especially that part about coming here to Atlantic City looking for her husband.

Remember, she said she came here, found his car, and then moved it out of spite.

That would have been just hours before she filed a restraining order against him.

Why would you go down there?

It just doesn't make sense.

It's not logical.

It's not logical at all, and I acknowledge that.

Me moving his car is something that, you know, to anybody who knows me seems so natural and so me, you know, so passively spiteful, yet at the same time not overtly confrontational.

She didn't think that the suitcases would come up, and that's what made her come up with all these different stories, and that's how she got caught.

My brother and I were very, very close.
