Cop: Wife googled 'How to commit murder'

At exactly 5:45:34 on April 18, 2004 a computer taken from the office of the attorney of Melanie McGuire, did a search on the words "How To Commit Murder."

That same day searches on Google and MSN search engines, were conducted on such topics as `instant poisons,` `undetectable poisons,' 'fatal digoxin doses,' and gun laws in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Ten days later, according to allegations by the state of New Jersey, McGuire murdered her husband, William T. McGuire, at their Woodbridge apartment, using a gun obtained in Pennsylvania, one day after obtaining a prescription for a sedative known as the "date rape" drug.

Jennifer Seymour, who worked for the State Police digital technology unit, testified thismorning how she examined the digital contents of computers and hand held devices obtained as part of the investigation.

Her testimony was the strongest evidence yet in the state's circumstantial evidence case against the 34-year-old McGuire, who allegedly murdered her husband with a .38 caliber weapon, dismembered his body and placed body parts in three suitcases found in the Chesapeake Bay in May of 2004.

While the jury has yet to see any fingerprint, blood or DNA evidence in the case, the evidence presented by Seymour illustrated how computers can be a valuable investigation tool.

Seymour was still being questioned by Assistant Attorney General Patricia Prezioso when Superior Court Judge Frederick De Vesa gave the jury its lunch break. Testimony was scheduled to resume at 1:45 p.m.

Seymour, now employed by the U.S. Department of Defense, testified how digital investigators can trace activity on a computer, including information the user has deleted.

She testified that she isolated data that was accessed in the weeks leading up to the murder, by inserting the keyword "search," which showed activity by Google and MSN search engines, with the searches center-ing on poisons and gun laws.

The murder took place the same day, according to allegations by the state, that a two-ounce prescription of chloral hydrate was purchased at a Walgreen's in Edison.

A search on April 26, 2004 of the computer seized by the state found that the user accessed the site www.walgreens.com/storelocator.

On Monday Yan Kim Lee, a pharmacist at the Walgreen's on New Durham Road in Edison, testified that on the morning of April 28 she filled a prescription for chloral hydrate for a woman named Tiffany Bain, on script signed by Dr. Bradley Miller of Reproductive Medicine Associates in Morristown.

Melanie McGuire worked at the RMA office as a nurse, and at the time of her husband's death she was having an affair with Miller.

Lee testified that she typically fills only about three or four prescriptions annually for chloral hydrate.

In her testimony Seymour said she was able to trace e-mails on Hotmail accounts allegedly used by McGuire and Miller. She said the e-mails seemed to indicate the two had a romantic relation-ship, with such phrases as "I love you," and "I miss you."

I think this lady sets a new standard for piss-poor murderers. Oh well, I got a good laugh out of it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I would do it from a random loacation (library or something).

the same goes for 'terrorist FAQs'

Most amazing jew boots

No kidding. If you need to google "how to murder", you really shouldn't be murdering. I guess you really shouldn't be murdering anyhow. But comeon, unless its a natural instinct. Don't consider it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Definitely a job best left to the professionals.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'd say only do it if your gonna get paid for it. Otherwise, wheres the point?(besides at the end of the knife you were thinking of using)

I was speaking idiomatically.

She does seem like a total idiot, has she never seen crime scene programmes where they actually look at computers. She brings shame on women.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

FELIPE NO

sometimes it's just not that easy, you pretty much have to kill them or kill yourself at a certain point.

Honestly though, proxys, clear history and search data, burn the computor, do something.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

It isn't that hard to get divorced, or at the very least legally seperated. What is interesting is that she managed to kill him and leave almost no evidence... except her computer.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Darwin Award, anyone?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Why would you kill your husband when you can collect alimony from him for the rest of your life?

That's true, unless he's broke and stays that way. Even if he was loaded, I think cutting a guy up into bite-sized morsels would prove pretty therapeutic after a crappy marriage.

I have just Googled "How Not to Commit Murder", "How to Be Totally Innocent", and "Being Someplace Else, Perhaps Housesitting Alone With No Witnesses In Somebody Else's House As A Favor For Them While They're Vacationing In Spain, While My Girlfriend Is Mysteriously Shredded Into No Less Than Three-thousand Messy Pieces With A Chainsaw".

SET. FOR. LIFE.
