The film tells the real-life story of New Jersey nurse Melanie McGuire, who was convicted of killing her husband, William McGuire. The official synopsis of Suitcase Killer: The Melanie McGuire on Lifetime reads:
''Based on a shocking true story, Melanie McGuire (Candice King) was an exceptional fertility nurse, married to her ex-Navy husband Bill (Michael Roark) and doting mother of two boys. When she falls for Brad (Jackson Hurst), a doctor at her clinic, and gets entangled in a steamy love affair, Melanie does the unthinkable.''
The synopsis further states,
''After drugging and murdering Bill, she dismembers him and places the body parts into three suitcases, throwing them into Chesapeake Bay. But when the suitcases are found on the shores of Virginia Beach, an investigation is launched leading to Melanie as the prime suspect. Led by the efforts of assistant attorney general Patti Prezioso (Wendie Malick), authorities eventually bring Melanie to justice, who despite being convicted, continues to maintain her innocence.''
A preview of the film was dropped by Lifetime on June 4, 2022. The preview offers a peek into some of the film's most chilling and horrifying moments.
