Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Meg Wellnitz-Appleton and Bill Meece. For years, their alibis stood up and prevented the authorities from moving forward against them. But when Bill got a divorce from his wife, his world turned upside down. Meg and Bill told differing stories, and it would be up to juries to decide who was telling the truth.

Melanie and Bill McGuire closed on their first home on April 28th, 2004. Two days later, Melanie filed a restraining order against her husband, claiming Bill hit her before leaving the house.

The more details the police learned, the more Melanie's story changed. And very little of what she had to say made sense.
