Beth Dutton

With that restraining order, he could not go to school and pick up the kids and take off with them, and that was my biggest fear.

But Bill never tried to contact Melanie, their kids, or anyone else.

He simply vanished.

Thursday, I started to call him.

No answer.

Friday, I started calling more frantically.

No answer at any of his numbers.

As days turned to weeks, Cindy questioned why Melanie had not filed a missing persons report.

It wasn't that out of character for him to have a tantrum, pick up and be gone.

Three and a half weeks later, with still no word from Bill, Melanie filed for divorce.

While Melanie McGuire was taking measures to end her marriage, Virginia Beach police were analyzing those matching suitcases found in the Chesapeake Bay.

A fingerprint check confirmed the man inside the luggage was Bill McGuire.

But who killed him?

And how did he end up here, more than 300 miles away from his home in New Jersey?

Do you believe all three suitcases were thrown off this bridge?

Yes, I do.

CSI investigator Beth Dutton quickly determined that Bill McGuire was shot in the head and torso with a .38 caliber gun.

But other forensic evidence was far more difficult to come by.

As investigators continued to search for clues, police informed Melanie her husband was dead.

I couldn't feel the ground under me.
