As My Central Jersey reports, Melanie McGuire allegedly dismembered Bill's body and brought the trio of suitcases to a bridge. She dropped them into the water below, and just days later, the set of suitcases was discovered in quick succession.
ABC News reports that Melanie had actually purchased an out-of-state firearm in Pennsylvania, although she lived in New Jersey. She purchased a gun just two days before he was shot, so the timing was suspicious — but she claimed Bill had asked her to buy the gun for him, and she agreed. On an episode of "20/20," Melanie said (via My Central Jersey), "There were times I wanted him [Bill] gone, but gone doesn't mean dead."
NJ.com reports that in 2007, Melanie McGuire was charged on eight counts and found guilty of four: desecrating remains, murder, perjury, and the possession of the murder weapon — a gun — for an unlawful reason.
