In this episode of Crime Watch Daily Updates: Michele MacNeill was a beauty queen living what seemed to be a perfect life with her successful husband, Martin MacNeill. But ugliness brewed beneath the facade.
Martin wasn’t committed to the marriage and even had a relationship with a woman who would later became his children’s nanny. Despite the affair, Michele and Martin remained married.
On April 3, 2007, Michele underwent a facelift and spent the night in the hospital recovering. Since he was a doctor, Martin reportedly gave the plastic surgeon a list of medications he wanted prescribed to his wife — including Valium and Oxycodone.
Michele went home after the surgery and apparently told one of her daughters she thought Martin was making her take too many pills.
On April 11, 2007, Michele and Martin’s daughter Ada found Michele unresponsive in the bathtub with her head next to the faucet. Martin reportedly told paramedics he believed his wife had overdosed on painkillers, killing her.
The autopsy initially determined Michele died from natural causes, but in 2010, her children fought for a new toxicology report, which found she had Oxycodone, Ambien, and other drugs in her system. Her cause of death then became “combined effects of heart disease and drug toxicity” and the manner of death changed to “undetermined.”
Martin and his mistress, Gypsy Willis, reportedly got married April 14, 2007 — the same day as Michele’s funeral.
In 2012, Martin was charged with murder, and he was convicted November 9, 2013. He was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison, but in April 2017, he died by suicide in the Utah State Prison.
Let’s look back at the unfortunate demise of Michele MacNeill at the hands of her husband.
I'm so glad her daughters fought for their mother. Rest in peace. Their dad and his mistress are just nasty and his attorney is too. Why do so many of them smile when talking?
I saw the full documentary and she didn’t even want to get plastic surgery. He kept saying that she’s getting ugly and old and manipulated her into doing it to please him.
What the hell!!! God!!!!!! mate his wife gave him 8 kids! And he killed her for someone that was beneath her!!! She was beautiful had her whole life ahead of her! You could just tell she was toooooo good for him! I hope he stays in jail!!! Girls u did the right thing! I do feel for the kids! The dad they trusted and loved killed their mom!!!!!! Horrible man!!!!!
inmate witness, that's some BS
That women was the devil Incarnate, smiling as she’s destroyed a family
Gypsy, family annihilator and cold witch, money grubbing **ore. She should’ve been arrested for a lot of serious crimes, including financial schemes. She took one of Michelle’s adopted daughters’ ID and SS #! She’s a bum. And a pig.
Good for the daughters, it was evident her father killed their mother and then he turns around and married his mistress. Why didn't he just asked his wife for a divorce.
A mistress Will remains a mistress !!!
Men, be carefful !!!
Her daughters did right by her. She would be proud. I lost my mom last year. If something like that happened to her I would do the same thing.
The evidence didn't seem that strong to me..not saying he was innocent in reality..just that the case seems thin..he's not a nice person maybe..doesn't make him a murderer
Classic psychopath; nice, prestigious facade with a long list of unsavory habits and criminal activities.
Look at that big fat behind Swing All over the place while she runs to her car. You was married to a Steak but you messed about with Premium Burger.
Hate is not strong enough for that mistress.
I read some of the book already I think this happened when that AKA Marten and Machell were still Dating and according to Machell Martin put a gun to his head and threatened to kill himself if she did not I am guessing keep dating her
This happened 2007. Why is this pertinent?
If Michelle thought she was taking too many meds. Leave!
The doctor must be blind. Michelle was even more beautiful than Gypsy.
If you want to screw around on ur spouse leave man up.
Good
Hard to believe that the first autopsy didn't include toxicology, esp after being told she overdosed prescribed meds post op. What's more hard to believe is that no one looked at the husband considering he remarried the day of her funeral??
Given the way this poor lady died right after plastic surgery, was there no toxicology testing down before burial?? Good for her daughters in being persistent on behalf of their mother.
OXY and Valium? Only if you want permanent sleep
The mistress sitting there giving testimony all smiles and smug…so chipper to be there to let everyone know that this man killed his wife for her.
Well aren't you just special! 🙄 Disgusting woman…even more disgusting the husband!
They jury probably wouldn't have convicted him had the wedding not been the same day as the funeral. That's a shady thing only shady people would do.
Snake 🐍in the grass
Ur bread and butter is not updates or podcasts its the true crime exposes / mini docus of cases. Please focus on that content and move away from the less desirable alternatives you seem to be churning out, which i have watched zero of and immediately click off screen if it shows podcast or update.. whereas i watched practically all the mini docs you produced of cases.
My favourite channel on YouTube that makes me realize there's a bunch of psychopaths exit among us.
Why couldn’t he have saved the family the pain and ended his own life to begin with
Pretty sad as member of the same church I would never cheat on my husband I believe that's what caused him to murder his wife his affair obviously they wanted the wife out of the picture and so in our church he pretty much committed two commandments first our church is against cheating on wife's and second murder this man is in more trouble with God then most I feel sorry for his daughters thank goodness they got justice.
Sounds like a murder to me
When I initially watched the story I instantly knew there was more to the story then a daughter proving the father killed her mother then understood why when I read so also accused him of sexually abusing her and finally understood the hatred.
Psychopath, no doubt.
His wife was beautiful and she was the mother of his children.
All that glitters is not gold.
Their Mother is gorgeous. The DR. Is an idiot.. ❤❤❤❤ Horrible! RIP the other woman Gillian is ugly and over weight compared to the mom. Sad💔💔 divorce not murder. 8 children this dad is horrible. Alexis her daughter looks like her Mother beautiful ❤
What a cowardly monster.
Mormons can be polygamous so why did he not just have both
Brave daughter
Gypsy is a totally desperate chicken. Gypsy didnt/doesn't have even close to good looks so Gypsy became desperate. I hope you feel sick w GUILT for breaking up that family and poor kids losing their mom.
How sad that he took his kid's mother away from them forever. Now they live on without both parents. How shocking and haunting.
Dude got set up
Goodness what is wrong with people
A shallow, empty head, vain woman, vanity's victim.
Yes you said it he had another doctor prescribed it he did not prescribe it that's misleading
I remember this heartbreaking case. My thoughts and prayers are with Michelle’s children, family, and loved ones. Rest in peace Michelle. 💗
@TCD PLEASE give a statement about the recent allegations about #AdventuresWithPurpose and Co-founder Jared. I'd like to hear from Louis B. As well. Horrible let down.
I just saw this movie a few days ago.
