Woodbridge's Melanie McGuire Story Will Be Lifetime Movie June 18

WOODBRIDGE, NJ — For anyone looking to curl up with a horrifying true crime story that happened right here in Woodbridge, the Melanie McGuire story will air June 18 on Lifetime.

According to the promo on YouTube, this is a Lifetime original movie based on the "unbelievable" true story of McGuire, the nurse who drugged, shot and dismembered her husband, William McGuire, 39, in their Woodbridge townhouse in April 2004.

McGuire killed her husband and then cut his body into three different pieces, said prosecutors. She stuffed his remains in three suitcases that she dumped in the Chesapeake Bay. She was convicted in 2007 of murder, disturbing and desecrating human remains, possession of a firearm and perjury.

McGuire worked as a fertility clinic nurse and she killed her husband, a computer programmer, so she could be with her lover, a doctor who worked with her at the fertility clinic in Morristown, according to NJ Advance Media.

Her husband's remains were discovered and she was arrested a year later.

McGuire is currently an inmate at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in Hunterdon County. Her parole eligibility date is listed as May 20, 2073, according to the NJ Dept. of Corrections inmate search.
