To help identify the victim, who was carrying no identification, police made this sketch. William
McGuire's Navy buddy recognized him and phoned authorities.

William McGuire's remains were discovered in three suitcases in the Chesapeake Bay the month after
he was last seen alive. The first, found floating in the bay by a fisherman, contained McGuire's legs.

The second, discovered by a scientist walking on Fisherman's Island, contained
William McGuire's upper body.

The third suitcase, pulled from the bay water, contained William McGuire's lower torso.

McGuire's remains were wrapped in black trash bags that prosecutors claim are identical
to ones Melanie McGuire used to dispose of her husband's clothes.

A receipt introduced in evidence shows Melanie McGuire's purchase of a .38-caliber
revolver on April 26, 2004, two days before her husband disappeared.
He was shot by a .38-caliber weapon.

The Fisherman's Island suitcase contained a 5 ½-pound free weight.

Prosecutors contend William McGuire was shot to death in the couple's Woodbridge Township
rental apartment. A neighbor testified that she did not hear gunshots or a power saw during
the period the murder and dismemberment allegedly occurred.

Prosecutors introduced as evidence this police photo of a pull-off area on the Chesapeake
Bay Bridge. A detective testified that the guardrail was 31 inches high, an inch higher than
the largest suitcase carrying the victim's remains.

Is the figure at the bottom left Melanie McGuire? Prosecutors say this photo shows the
nurse entering a pharmacy to buy an American Express gift card later used to express
mail a package to prosecutors. The package contained a letter suggesting McGuire
 was being framed for murder.

Prosecutors also introduced what they said were similarities between garbage bags from
McGuire's home and those used to dispose of the victim's dismembered remains. Two
experts said matching patterns and dye lines in the bags prove they were manufactured
 in the same factory and on the same production line.

An FBI agent who specializes in video analysis testified that a grainy surveillance tape of
an Atlantic City motel parking lot shows an SUV pulling in after the victim's sedan. She
said the SUV shared certain characteristics with the defendant's Nissan Pathfinder.

The medical examiner said a "fiber wad" was attached to the bullet in the victim's chest cavity.
Prosecutors say it is proof the victim was shot through a green-and-white throw pillow, but the
defense has noted the green fibers do not match the upholstery on the green velvet living
room set in the McGuires' townhouse.

Tiny pieces of flesh were found on the floor mats of William McGuire's sedan. A medical
examiner said microscopic analysis showed the material was not sloughed off through
normal skin cell death, but removed through disease or trauma.

A forensic handwriting analyst said the signature of Dr. Bradley Miller, McGuire's lover, was
forged on a prescription for chloral hydrate obtained the last day the victim was seen alive.

The victim's sister, Cindy Ligosh, acknowledged collaborating with her brother to write this list of ways
 to get back at their sister, who they felt was complicating the settling of their mother's estate.

The list is similar to the "set her up" note prosecutor's accuse Melanie McGuire of fabricating.
Ligosh said she and her brother were joking when they discussed ways to hurt their sister,
 including telling her they no longer believed her claims of childhood molestation.
