Based On A True Story

 

At 4pm this Sunday afternoon I viewed a film on Lifetime released for 2022 titled Suitcase Killer: The Melanie McGuire Story.

I watched it because I remember seeing the trial broadcast on Court TV as well as Forensic Files and other Crime Show reenactments of the case.

I had also read the book about Nurse Melanie McGuire titled To Have and To Kill by John Glatt over ten years ago.

The book was one of the published books I was hooked on throughout St. Martin’s True Crime Library Series.

Those books used to keep me up all night- I could not get enough!

Melanie drugged her husband, shot him, chopped up his body (dismembered it with an electrical saw), placed the different body parts into three bags of luggage, then dumped the Suitcase apparatuses into the Virginia Chesapeake Bay River.

It was such a gruesome crime! The book was much better than the movie.

 

 

All Is Resolved

 

Amazon refunded my money (for the tape- recorder) back to me quickly. It only took a day from when I called them a few days ago.

I also got my Verizon voicemail straightened out. I was on the phone with technical support for an hour and a half yesterday.

The spectacular thing about the situation is that while everything was fixed all my prior saved voicemails are completely intact.

None of my messages were deleted as expected. If that is not a blessing, I don’t know what it is!
