Please visit this link and make a contribution to her appeal and defense
fund. It's so obvious that beautiful Melanie had no capacity to commit this
horrible crime. There was "NO" evidence linking her to the crime. She does
not belong in jail. Please, we need your support.

I personally have exchanged a few letters with Mel and I can vouch for her
truthfulness and honesty. There's NO WAY she committed this horrible crime.

Why is it obvious she couldn't do it?

She was having an affair. She'd told her lover she was going to leave her
husband. When the husband closed on a new house, and her lover asked what
this meant, she told him "Don't worry. Everything is going to be fine" - and
Bill McGuire was never seen again.

A search of their computer found 40 - 40! - murder-related searches on
google, including "instant undetectable poison," "toxic insulin levels,"
"how to purchase guns illegally," and best of all: "how to commit murder."
Melanie's defense claimed she didn't use that computer, her husband did, but
there were numerous romantic emails stored on it between her and the doctor
she was having an affair with.

Bill McGuire was sedated with Chloral hydrate. Someone did a search about
chloral hydrate on that computer, then a minute later looked up the nearest
Walgreen's. The chloral hydrate used to sedate him was purchased with a
forged prescription filled at a Walgreen's the one closest to the preschool
their kids attended - a two minute drive from the school. The forged
prescription was from the pad of the doctor Melanie was having an affair
with.

And when the police told her that her husband's dismembered body had been
found, she didn't shed a single tear. She talked to the detectives for
fifteen minutes and spent most of it disparaging her late husband - his day
trading losses, his gambling, his "big mouth". She only asked one question:
whether they'd found his car. When she was told they hadn't, she suggested
they look in Atlantic City - and guess what, they found it in a hotel
parking lot there.

A witness at the trial testified that Melanie admitted parking the vehicle
there herself, as a "prank", something she didn't mention to the detectives.

Oh, and she bought a gun and ammo - two days before her husband disappeared.

She's guilty as all hell. She's similar to Scott Peterson - she figured if
her spouse disappeared and there was no smoking gun pointing to her, she'd
get away with it. Trouble was, the computer forensics and the forged
prescription point to her, the affair gives her motive, and her behavior
after the disappearance looks mighty strange.

She was sentenced to life in prison, and she's never getting out. How you
can be dumb enough to think she is innocent, I cannot fathom.

Because she writes a nice letter?

Bwaaa haaa haaa haaaaa.

How do you explain the prescription for the sedative used on the victim,
coming from the pad of the doctor she was having an affair with?

How do you explain her telling the detectives to look for his car at
Atlantic City casinos, but not mentioning that she was the one who parked it
there?

How do you explain her burying her face in her hands and looking sad when
told her husband's body was found, but not shedding a tear and spending the
next fifteen minutes talking about what a terrible guy he was?

There was a LOT of evidence linking her to this crime - on her computer, the
testimony of her boss/lover, the forged prescription filled two minutes from
her kids' preschool at a location looked up on the family's computer, the
forty google searches about how to murder someone, the gun she bought two
days before he disappeared.

You're a sucker, getting played. How much did you put in her commisary
account?

I was going to check out some of the news articles but didn't have to after

I vaguely remembered the case, but had to google up the details to refresh
my memory. The smoking gun has got to be the prescription pad - she's
having an affair with her boss, a doc at the fertility clinic, and it's a
stolen blank from his pad used to write the scrip for the sedative used on
the victim.

Yup. I'd be surprised if the web site generated any money whatsoever, but I
am guessing either the lawyers set up the site to see if they can grab a few
bucks or it is this guy who is showing how much he loves her.

Sad. Sick. She'll rot in prison for the rest of her life, which is as it
should be.

Also I bet her "innocence" has something to do with the fact that you
referred to her as beautiful in your first post lol.

Get real idiot, any one can write ANYTHING in a letter. You remind me of

No need for name calling. That was rude. You have to understand that
Melanie was a NURSE her entire adult life. As she explains in her letter,
she was in the business of GIVING life to people, not taking it away. And I
might add, her attorney, Joe Tacopina said he was shocked that 12 jurors
could have reached such a verdict. Mr. Tacopina would NOT be defending
Melanie if he thought she was guilty with his reputation. Also, Melanie
had children by her husband Bill and even thought they were having marital
troubles there is no way Melanie McGuire could kill the father of her
children (she explains this in her letter). What the hell is wrong with
jurors these days? They are just out to "get" somebody I think.

Joe Tacopina is also Joran Van Der Sloot's lawyer. Now we all heard Joran
admit to being with Natalee Holloway when she died, and disposing of her
body. All the while Tacopina insisting upon the *fact* that 'joran is
innocent'.

As for Melanie, doctors kill, nurses kill, even priests and rabbi's kill.
And mothers and fathers also kill the other 'parent' of their children all
the time. Look at Jeffrey MacDonald, doctor, killed not only his wife, but
his two children and the unborn child his wife was carrying. You have to
take each case individually, the quality and quantity of the evidence
against them. Defense lawyers say all the time 'there was no evidence
against my client.' They get paid to do so.

I would have. What is with these losers who can't be troubled to weight
down a body so it will not wash up on shore later? You need to get nylon
netting, nylon rope, and half a dozen heavy cinder blocks... and pick a
spot where the water is deep enough so the body won't get snagged by an
anchor or fishing tackle.

It's harder than you think. As a body decomposes, it will break apart
at the points where the weights are tied. Typically, the arms, legs
and neck are weighted....and Mother Nature (and Laci) fought that
arrangement mightily. Tie them around the waist, and the spine
will eventually come apart, leaving you with two floating chunks.

It's best to use a woodchipper first, in the dark, far off a road (so
no one sees you do it). And pick up the fingernails.

He didn't do it right. The way to do it is to wrap the netting around
the entire body, several times, and then bind the package at each end.
Then attach the cinder blocks to the bindings rather than to the body
itself. That way the body can decompose, and the joints can break apart
in any fashion, but the bones will remain trapped behind the netting.

Have you ever used a wood chipper? It would splatter evidence all over
the place, and it would be all but impossible to clean the machine
afterwards.

It's much better to come up with a simple but meticulously thought out
plan. From what I have seen, people screw up on murder because they make
obvious mistakes that are familiar to anyone who reads this group on a
regular basis.

-- They type "how to kill husband/wife" into Google and make no effort to
wipe their search history.

-- They load a body dripping with blood into their car.

-- They drive around with the body in the trunk and a cell phone in their
pocket, leaving digital footprints at every point along their route.

-- They fail to dispose of the body properly (Scott Peterson).

-- They come up with a half-baked plan for body disposal, and then are
forced to improvise when it doesn't work (Thomas Capano).

Drew Peterson probably avoided all of these mistakes, and he may very
well get away with murder, even though he is all but gloating about it in
the media.

All these ideas add unnecessary complications. Why would you want to
disembowel the body to prevent decomposition? What you want to do is get
rid of the body as quickly as possible and without leaving traces. And
you don't want alligators or any kind of large wildlife feeding on it
because a half-eaten limb might get left in a place where it could be
found.

I live on the West Coast, in the San Juan Islands. For me, body disposal
would be a matter of proper packaging, as I have described, and a boat
trip out to President Channel, north of Orcas Island. The water there is
almost 1,000 feet deep in places. Nobody can anchor there, and no divers
or fishing tackle will go that deep.

For people living inland, the thing to do is to pick out a burial spot
before-hand... one that is in a spot where no one is likely to go.
Commit your murder, wait for dark, transport the corpse to the burial
site, and plant it at least 3 feet deep. Pack the grave nice and tight
and spread leaves over it to try to make it look as undisturbed as
possible.

Without a body, it's very hard for the authorities to get a conviction.
If Laci Peterson's body hadn't washed ashore, her husband would be a free
man today. Ditto Thomas Capano and the blood-spattered ice chest left
floating around in an area where it was found by another boater. Both
these guys were on the right track, but they were sloppy with the details.

In the "woodchipper murder" (Helle Crafts), the big mistake was
in using the chipper off a road, where someone spotted the
husband.

First, you get an untraceable woodchipper (you don't rent it!),
and you don't buy a freezer a few days before, either. Your
body disposal system must include items that no one knew
you had.....and which you can easily abandon (ie, throw into
a deep lake when no one's around). That includes towing
the "body disposal system" on a trailer, and dumping it in
the lake, also.

Drew Peterson was very smart, and thought it through well.
But the little things trip you up. Something will expose him,
and I think it'll be his big mouth.

What kind of netting would work? Anything made of an organic
product will degrade in the water, especially when enclosing a
decomposing body.

I suggest chain-link fencing.....which one could steal ;)

The beauty of chain-link is that you can easily attach the weights,
and enclose the chain-link over a blue-colored plastic tarp that
encloses the "evidence".

That's why I specify nylon netting and nylon rope. I am thinking of the
kind of netting that gardeners use to protect berries and vegetables from
birds.

Chain link fencing would be hard to transport in the back of a car, and
hard to work with. You'd need a heavy duty cutter, like a bolt cutter.
If you were going to use any metal product, hog wire or hardware cloth
would be easier to handle than chain link. But I think nylon is the way
to go. The only thing that degrades nylon is sunlight.

IIRC, Capano was already under arrest when the ice chest *surfaced*. I
don't recall it being blood spattered. I thought it had bullet holes in it.
Capano's downfall was getting his druggie brother to assist him in the
disposal. The bother flipped and fingered him.

As for Scott Peterson, I think they would have tried him anyway, body or no
body. Others have been tried and convicted with no body. Me, I'd still
haul the body to florida and let the alligators and crocs 'have at it'. I
doubt they'd leave much edible behind. ;)

Not strong enough. The fish (which eat on bodies) have teeth
that can chew through netting.

Put on a pair of pantyhose, Charlie....and see what degrades nylon ;)

I'm not transporting the body in the back of a car. I'm rolling that
thing up onto a trailer, and then strapping it down. Then I cover
it all with black tarp. I'll drive down a country road in the dark,
stop on top of a bridge, and dump the body and trailer overboard
into the deep lake ;)

Again the *you guys* do realize if anybody we know turns up dead some day,
all this will be googled up and entered at trial much the way Melanie
Mcquires computer evidence was. How many of us have googled lots of crap to
do with murder, bodies, evidence, disposal, etc. ;)

I'm familiar with President Channel. People scuttle old boats and
washing machines there. I have it on good authority that heavily

The term "perfect crime" dignifies something that is commonplace.
Ordinary people get away with murder all the time, simply by being
careful and perhaps lucky.

I've never heard of fish chewing through netting.

Why complicate matters with a trailer? Are you afraid that even with a
tarp you might leave some kind of DNA traces in the vehicle?

IF the package is somehow found, I don't want any trace of
it having been in the vehicle. The trailer is disposable and
will sink fast.

Good insurance for under $1,000....or stolen ;)

Chickenwire might corrode fairly quickly in salt water. I think nylon
netting would be the best. I can't believe fish would chew through it.
In fact, I don't think fish would feed on it... crabs might.

A nurse and of course they NEVER kill do they? A profession has nothing to
do with whether or not you are likely to murder. Many many nurses have been
murderers.

Time to remove the rose tinted glasses. If you are so convinced that she is
innocent give me some good arguments to convince me. Telling me that she
had children to her husband and that she was a nurse are not reasons for her
NOT TO KILL.

So nurses are incapable of hurting anyone? This group has seen scores of
cases that prove otherwise.

Right. And Catholic priests never have sex with little boys...they're
CATHOLIC PRIESTS for their entire adult lives!

Seriously, after the Tacopina comment, did anyone else get the idea that this
is someone having fun with us? I'm having trouble believing someone would
legitimately believe any of the stuff being said.

You are not really pulling out the "nurse" card are you? Ok, what
about Donald Harvey? Or Charles Cullen? Or Genene Jones? Or Beverley
Allitt What about Michael Swango or Harold Shipman? All of these
were health care professionals, yet they killed? So your argument
holds absolutely no water.

Right. Also what about the nuns that have been found guilty of child abuse
etc just recently???

A person's "calling"/career/job doesn't determine whether they can kill or
not.

My defense attorney will be able to show I've had an interest in these

But no matter, nobody is going to turn up dead. Because once you encase the
corpse in cement and dump it in a deep body of water, no chance of anything
turning up :)

Melanie was framed, evidence was planted. She was a top student. Would she be stupid
enough to do murder and poison searches on a home computer? All evidence against her was circumstantial, in other
words, it can be fabricated. Police and prosecutors are so eager to get convictions, especially in big cases, they suppress exculpatory
evidence and do other nasty stuff like not giving full disclosure to the
defense. The disposal of the body was done in a way to make it look like
it was done by an amateur and to be sure it was found (not sufficiently weighted and discarded too close to shore).

Her husband wrote the prescription because he was taking steroids, and this medicine is commonly used with steroids. He visited the hospital a number of times and the prescription pad was sitting on the desk. There was even a witness that said it wasn't her hand writing and her husband had a prior conviction for forgery.

They have already said that the bullets did NOT match her gun. As far as the parking of the car, she volunteered this information right at the beginning of the investigation.
