Had been dating her before my moms death. He chose the nanny. So, were you the nanny or the girlfriend . Dont you think its a littleoee michelle to oops, she died, in. Lets continue sleeping together while you take care of my kids . I think in a bad way, they were perfect for each other. His wife was dead. And the Young Children needed to be gone. Theres mama. My curling iron didnt work today. Shes just beautiful on the inside and out. Just very graceful and, and classy and loving. She was a dream of a big sister, was popular, she was athletic, she was great in school. She also loved music and she played the violin. I mean, we were all very proud of her. Michele somers, shes gorgeous. She was voted miss concord. Homecoming queen, cheerleader. She was a straighta student. She enjoyed acting and drama and she did a lot of modeling. Michele somers is very, very involved in her church, the mormon church. And she is at an event for young singles. And it is there she meets Martin Macneill. He caught her eye. Swept off her feet would be the word for it. Michele was just 21 years old when she met Martin Macneill. And within months of meeting martin, the two of them eloped and were married and began a family very quickly. And all she cared about is her family. And helping, helping people. Incredibly empathetic to anyones problems or situation and she would take anyone in. And just genuinely love them. Her dream was to someday be a wife and a mother. And her dreams, seemingly, come true. She had four kids in five years. Mmhmm. Boom, boom, boom. That was not enough for michele and Martin Macneill. They decided to give children that did not have homes a home. Theres michelle and sharon inside the car. Hi. So they proceeded to adopt children from the ukraine. Thats it off in the distance. Heres one of our drivers. The family grew to not just four children, but eight. Growing up i i had a wonderful childhood. I mean, my mom was always there and just the best person you could ever, you could ever ask to have as a mother. She doted on all of us. And really really was there emotionally there for every little thing. My father, i was very close with my father as well. I mean, we all were. And i had just a really Good Relationship with both of them. So from the outside looking in, it sounds like the perfect family. Yeah. She was very quiet, was always very pretty and very wellkept. All the girls were just dressed perfect, like a tea party. If martin was ever around, it was him that, that always dominated every conversation. Martin macneill was appointed by the governor of utah to head up a large medical facility. He just made sure to say that he was a doctor and a lawyer. He walked in the room and sort of took it over, like, look at me. Like he was above everybody. The somers family had a long history with martin. They did not like him with michele and thought that he was controlling and manipulative. I never liked him. He seemed arrogant to me. He seemed all about himself. He wasnt anybody that youd ever want to be around. Everybody hated him. I was constantly trying to explain my father. When hed come home, he was a completely different person. So we thought we knew the real, the real person. My sister seemed to grow more distant, like, he would pull her away from the family. She just seemed to be more withdrawn. Did any of you ever feel like you could say, michelle, theres something about this guy that we dont like . We did try to warn her, but there was no talking to her. It was like he had his grips around her. He had total control. I first met alexis and rachel back in 2010 when i was doing a story on their father, Martin Macneill, for 20 20. When my father turned 50, he started acting very strangely. I just thought he was going through a midlife crisis at first. He became obsessed with losing weight and his appearance. Hes going to tanning salons. He lost weight. Hed start exercising just all the time, just in the middle of a conversation, jumping and doing pushups, things like that. It was really bizarre. Really strange. Very out of the ordinary. How did your mom react to all of this behavior all of a sudden . This focus on physicality. She was suspicious. She thought her husband was having an affair. Michele confronted Martin Macneill with allegations of an affair. Ever the manipulator, he turned the tables on her and told her that she should make some changes, too, Martin Macneill convinced her she needed a fullon facelift. My mom had never talked about that before or anything. Shed never been into plastic surgery. Are we talking just a little eye tuck . No. It was, it was a full facelift. So, how much convincing did it take . Quite a bit, actually. She saw my dad tanning, getting all in shape. And so i think, you know, my mom was just a little concerned too. Oh, maybe i should do a couple things, you know, maybe that will help. She was afraid that she was losing her husband. I actually went to the consultations with her to meet this Plastic Surgeon and she told him all of her concerns, saying, maybe ill wait till this summer. I would be home from medical school for my summer break so i could be there and help with the recovery. And my dad said, oh, no, alexis, you have spring break coming up in a week. Lets do it then. My dad said we have everything set up, you know, the anesthesiologist is reserved. We need to do it. Martin had found a Plastic Surgeon and came in with a list of things that he wanted michele to have that he said would help her. Michele ended up being prescribed percocet, lortab, valium, ambien, phenergan. These were all Central Nervous system depressants. And they were never meant to be taken at the same time. And the surgeon agreed . He knew my dad was a physician, so he thought he knew how to dose different medications. It was just bizarre because, yeah, my mom was very sensitive to medication anyway. Martin macneill insisted his wife go home with prescriptions for lots of sedatives and painkillers that normally, would not have been prescribed following plastic surgery. But the surgeon deferred to Martin Macneill. Because dr. Macneill planned to take care of his wife personally. What could go wrong . Ng complains against the german auto maker. Because a vision softly creeping left its seeds while i was sleeping and the vision that was planted in my brain still remains within the sound of silence in restless dreams i walked alone narrow streets of cobblestone when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night and touched the sound of silence glike an antigravity chair.

When she came out of surgery, how did she look . She looked bad. She was very, kind of groggy and in a lot of pain. After the first night of having my mom home, my dad told me to leave. He said, ill take care of her, her medicines tonight. You say the next morning when you saw your mom, she was heavily medicated. She was completely sedated and out of it. And i went right to my dad and he said, oh, maybe i gave her too much. And your mother threw up, so then i gave her more medicine. I said, im going to take over. And at that time, she had a little eye patch on. So she couldnt see, you know, what he was giving her. So she told me, she said, um, give me each of the pills, so i can feel it with my finger. So if he tries to give me something else, ill know what hes giving me. And so i did that, i let her feel all the different types of medicines. One night while alexis was washing michelles hair, michelle, all of a sudden, literally, drops a bombshell. She started to cry. She said, if anything happens to me, make sure it wasnt your dad. And i said, mom i kind of got upset. The night before alexis went back to medical school, alexis said her mom looked great. She looked happy. She was recovering. And so it was fine to get back on an airplane and go back to medical school. They dropped me off at the airport. I just remember looking back and seeing my mom and waving. On april 11th, martin went in to work as normal. Picked up ada from school, and arrived at the house around 11 35. Ada said my dad told her to go check on your mother. And so she ran in, just calling, mommy, mommy. And my dad stayed in the kitchen while she went into the bathroom and found her. And then she screamed for my dad. My wife has fallen in the bathtub whos in the bathtub . My wife okay, is she conscious . Shes not can you calm down . I need help it was really hard to understand him cause he was yelling very hysterically at me. Shes unconscious shes underwater okay, did you get her out of the water . I cant. I couldnt lift her up. I let the water out. Is she breathing at all . Shes not i tried to calm him down and tried to get the information from him, but he didnt want to stay on the line with me and he hung up. We got the phone number, called him back, and he did answer. Okay, sir, the ambulance has been paged. They are on their way, okay. Do not hang up. I need help they are on their way. Is your wife breathing . Shes not i am a physician. Ive got cpr in progress. He yelled, i am a physician, i have initiated cpr, and disconnected the phone call again. And he seemed very irritated at me and bothered that i was even asking him these questions. Okay, do you know how to do cpr . Im doing it. Okay, do not hang it was about 11 48 a. M. Or so. I got a medical call. A female who had possibly drowned in the bathtub, so naturally, you know, we were going lights and sirens to the call. He couldnt lift her out of the tub, so he said that he had ada run next to the neighbors to get help. She said, my dad needs some help. I ran in, and followed his voice into the bathroom and he says, ive already called 911. I need a males help. Martin was kind of standing over her head. Michelle was in the tub. I just immediately went straight to her legs and i grabbed her legs and we lifted her out of the tub and onto the floor. We went into the bathroom and observed two male individuals performing cpr on a female victim. He would calmly be doing puffs of air, and then he would suddenly have an outburst of yelling, you know, why . Why . He actually was pulled aside into another room so ems could do their job and try to revive her. I could hear him in the background yelling. I couldnt tell if he was upset with himself or at her or at us. But he was, he was upset. Thats when Martin Macneill decides to call his daughter, alexis, who he reaches in medical school. He said, your mom. Shes in the tub. Shes not breathing. Ive called an ambulance. And then he hung up. I just started driving to the airport and i was just screaming. Just screaming. He killed her. That was my first instinct. He killed her. Before you left, your mom said, if anything happens to me, make sure it wasnt your dad who killed me. My dad had no idea that my mom had confided in me. And i knew i was the only one that knew this. So i needed to start figuring out what had happened and protect the rest of my family. Because my dad was a killer. She said, rachel, dad murdered mom. I know, i know he did. Alexis knew right away that there was something off and that this was not just a normal death. I said, wheres the medicine . And he said, i dont know where it is. Check in the garage. When alexis arrived at the house, the very first thing she wanted to do was count how much medication was left, see how much michele had taken and what had possibly led to her death. But by the time alexis gets home, martin has had somebody flush all the medication down the toilet. It was making him too sad to look at. To see this medication. As soon as i heard that, things were just starting to add up. Everything was adding up. My mom was concerned because rather than spending more time at home, he was spending more and more time away at the office. Michele became very suspicious and confided in her daughter alexis that she thought that her husband was having an affair. While he was sleeping, i logged on to his phone and printed out all of his phone records. And we found this number that hed been calling a lot. The name of the person popped out. Gypsy Jillian Willis. I mean, we thought it was maybe some stripper or something. Whos named gypsy . Gypsy Jillian Willis was a woman that Martin Macneill had met online. He sent me a message. He asked me what i knew about quantum physics. You bonded over quantum physics . There was just instant chemistry. He was tall, he was handsome, he was very wellspoken. Did you know he was married . I did. And that didnt ring any alarm bells for you on the ethics front . Not at that point. I wasnt looking for a serious relationship. And he told me that he had a perfect life. That he had a perfect wife. Martin macneill was about to take a flamethrower to his perfect life and his perfect wife. It was all about to be destroyed. Ai unlocks the art of science.

The Pleasant GrovePolice Department responded to a, what they believed was somebody in cardiac arrest. Is your wife breathing . She is not there was a doctor at the scene who was directing things. 50yearold Michele Macneill had undergone a full facelift pretty much at the insistence of her husband, dr. Martin macneill. A healthy 50yearold woman doesnt just die. Police didnt really conduct much of an investigation at all. They didnt collect any of the evidence. Closed the book on this case and ruled it a natural death. I thought that if this is a Healthy Woman that died that there would be some sort of big police investigation. Their Police Report into my mothers death is about 2 1 2 paragraphs. I thought the police were going to be doing an investigation. I was waiting for the autopsy to come back. And what did the autopsy find when it came in . The autopsy said she died due to natural causes. Natural causes, shes not an old woman. Shes no. She just turned 50 years old. I mean, she had a few issues. She had a little bit of high cholesterol, some high blood pressure. Martin seemed really ready to move on right away. He wanted this closure. My father demanded that we have a funeral within just a couple of days and we were all still devastating and reeling from the shock of my mother passing away. My dad said we need to have the funeral on saturday. That would have been three days after her death. Martin was just adamant things were gonna be done his way. Her own brothers and her own sisters werent allowed to attend the funeral. Martin threatened the somers family, if anyone showed up, he was going to call police and have them escorted from the funeral. Certain members of the family were told, if they showed up, that hed have them escorted out by police. Among the crowd of micheles friends and neighbors was one mysterious darkhaired woman who was not invited to the funeral, who had never met michele. And that was gypsy Jillian Willis. Why would you go to her funeral . Who invited you . No one invited me. I just found out where it was. You crashed her funeral . I had felt sorry that i had been involved with martin inappropriately. I felt sorry. And that was the way to show that sorrow, was to go to her funeral . No one knew who i was. Martin knew who you were. Martin knew who i was and thats why i was there. I knew it would be a hard time for him. Gypsy was very concerned about staying connected with martin after micheles death. She was almost desperate to stay involved in martins life now that michele was gone. You did send him two suggestive pictures of your naked back. Why did you do that . I wanted to keep his attention. Its its cold, it sounds heartless. Im sorry. But i knew that he would he would be having a hard time. Not thinking of me. And that was selfish. You understand that from the outside looking in, youre having an affair with this man, the wife inexplicably dies. You show up to her funeral, send him Text Messages during the funeral. It looks like youve come in to claim your prize. I did not look at it like that. Wed come to find out that my dad had been dating gypsy for several years before my moms death. Both alexis and rachel volunteered right away that they would take care of the younger children. But martin had a set plan right away that he was going to hire a nanny. And he said, oh, i found the perfect nanny. And i said, whats her name . And he said, oh, i think its, i think its jillian . And i said dad . Gypsy Jillian Willis . I said, i know that woman. I know mom was worried you were having an affair with her and you are not to bring her in the home. And he said, there, there is going to be an interview for a nanny. And there was only one candidate and that was gypsy. Gypsy. Imagine that. Yeah. She didnt cook, she didnt clean, she didnt take care of the children in any way. Why did you move into the home . Martin told me that he needed help with his younger children. Were you still sleeping with him . I was. So were you the nanny or were you the girlfriend . I moved in to help with the kids. When we had opportunity, i still slept with him. So you were both. If you want to look at it like that. She walked into the house like she owned the place. And then when i questioned my dad, he said, oh, shes a guest in our home and how dare you question me. I was told that i needed to leave the home because i i wasnt nice to gypsy. So we were basically we were pushed out of the house by my dad. Without our keys or shoes. Not even a phone. He wanted to make it known that it was either gypsy or his children and he chose the yeah. The nanny. A few months after micheles death, gypsy wanted to introduce martin to her family. And so they took a trip to wyoming, where gypsy introduced martin for the first time to her parents. He said, i never loved michelle, but i love gypsy. And i said, but you had a family with michelle. He says, actually, i loved her as a friend, i loved her as a sister, but i never loved her like i love gypsy. He gives this grand speech about how he loved her, and how he loved her from the moment he saw her. He knelt and proposed to her, and gypsy cried. It was very fairy tale. His wife has not been in the grave over 90 days, when he proposes marriage to his mistress. This was the man who had been telling you just a couple months earlier that he had the perfect life and the perfect wife. Yeah. So you must have been shocked when three months after she died he proposed marriage to you. I wasnt shocked. It just, like i said, it seemed very natural. It seemed like a natural progression. I believe he loved his wife. But she was gone. And i didnt suspect anything unusual. Dont you think its a little funny from going i love michele, oops, she died. Move in, lets keep sleeping together while you take care of my kids, then will you marry i realize that looks it looks pretty cold on the outside. I would consider gypsy to be a deceptive, malevolent, malicious, calculating person. I was bruised from head to toe. I had a sprained knee. I had choke marks around my neck. She lunged forward and she bit me on my upper left bicep. A bad bite. You could count every single tooth mark. She doesnt care who gets hurt. She doesnt care what circumstances are ruined. If she sees something she wants, she will rationalize it to the point that she will get that, no matter who stands in her way. Those are your family. I know. They are horrible and they are hateful. It is appalling that my family would say such things, and i think it is completely unfounded and unjust. In a bad way, they were perfect for each other. Together, i believe that they are perfectly capable of killing michele. Theyre like a pack of dogs. One dog alone might be malicious, might take a nip out of things, but two dogs together hunting are lethal. Hard work leaves a mark. It shows on your clothes.

Actually, youre still at risk for a fatal heart attack or stroke. Even if im taking heart medicine, like statins or blood thinners . Yep thats why i asked my doctor what else i could do. She told me about jardiance. Thats right. Jardiance significantly reduces the risk of dying from a cardiovascular event for adults who have type 2 diabetes and known heart disease. Thats why the American Diabetes association recommends the active ingredient in jardiance. And it lowers a1c . Yeah with diet and exercise. Jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration, genital yeast or urinary tract infections, and sudden kidney problems. Ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. A rare, but lifethreatening, bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. Stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this bacterial infection, ketoacidosis, or an allergic reaction. Do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. Taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. So, what do you think . Now i feel i can do more to go beyond lowering a1c. Ask your doctor about jardiance today. Micheles daughters were absolutely outraged that the Police Closed the case so quickly on micheles death. And alexis and rachel and micheles sister began their own investigation, and they spent months gathering evidence of what they felt was martins suspicious behavior in the days and months leading up to micheles death and certainly after she was found dead. We went to the Pleasant Grove police. We said, you know, we have this new information. We know about a girlfriend now. They took no notes. They didnt even listen, they acted like we were out of our minds. Not only would they not listen, they were mocking us. They were saying, youre ridiculous, you guys are just upset that your dad has had an affair. Lots of people have affairs. In talking with the investigator there in Pleasant Grove, they felt like this was a natural cause kind of thing. Could they have done more . They could have, but i think the initial response was appropriate. He said, were closing the case. Sorry, i know that kind of shocks you because she was young to have a heart attack. You just wake up and you try to do what you can. It is living a nightmare. Id try to go to the authorities. Id go to the governors office. I went to every single newspaper in utah. I cannot understand why no one would listen. My mother was murdered. And no one cares. The fifth line down states that military records were brought in. I went to the governors office. I had a manila envelope with all the documents we had. The tub was only 50 inches long at the top. We dont think she can drown. Doug whitney and Jeff Robinson were two investigators with the utah county prosecutors office, and these were two people that were assigned just to work special cases. They were put on this case to dig into it, and thats exactly what they did. So i got information from the daughters, and i got enough to get an investigative subpoena. Doug whitney went all the way back to Martin Macneill in college where he began investigating everything he did and uncovered a life of lies. Martin macneill was not who he claimed to be. If you take a pyramid a build it with bricks, and you pull those foundation bricks out, you have nothing. It crumbles. I found that the transcript used for Martin Macneill to get into medical school was totally falsified. Instead of taking his transcript and altering it, he got somebody elses. The transcript was completely fake. So this man who proclaimed loudly to anybody who would listen that he was a doctor, you are telling me he wasnt . His entire career is based on falsified transcripts from different colleges. So how did he go about practicing medicine . The guy is brilliant. I am not saying that he is not smart. He just didnt take the necessary classes. And he lies. Martin had briefly served in the military, but had been discharged because he had claimed that he was schizophrenic and hearing voices. So he went on to collect medical disability throughout the next 30something years, meanwhile practicing as a successful doctor and lawyer. How much money are we talking about . 3,000 a month. He was getting 3,000 a month from the army . Yes, from the v. A. For decades after he served less than two years . Decades. Investigators also discovered that when he was in his early 20s, he went to jail for check kiting. He decided to open a checking account, take the checks and go on a shopping spree. He had rented a house, and he needed to furnish it. He also bought himself some jewelry, diamond rings, watches, 60 pairss,nd 20 30 pairs of shoes, a years supply of chocolate covered cherries. He was a convicted felon. He was charged with forgery, fraud. I remember him cause he was bright and he was a con, and cons always interested me. The bottom line was, here is a man who went to jail for 180 days, was put on felony parole for three years, was on felony parole when he went into medical school. Its possible to have served 180 days in prison, and be on felony probation, and keep that a secret from schools or employers . Apparently so. It happened. Okay, let me take the picture. Cute. We basically found out that our entire lives had been based and surrounded on lies. That everything about our experience with our father was a lie. Youre played a part in destroying our whole family, dad. I am the victim, i am the victim. You cant even think of it as a possibility. If i think really hard i cant even think of that. My logic is i didnt commit adultery. I didt kill your mother. I didt have a mistress. I dont have one now. Im planning on getting married in the temple, and i dont believe that is a bad thing to do. Theres that possibility whether you want to accept it or not. Ive done nothing wrong. I have done zero wrong. Alexis and rachel started looking into what was going on, and actually discovered that martin was actually looking to have the younger children adopted by this other family to get them out of the house. He was going to give my sisters away. Yes, to adopt. He sent us all a lengthy text message saying that our sisters are going to be given away. He found a family in california. He was going to foist them off on this family without the knowledge of any of his older children, and without any explanation really. He just decided to jettison every single aspect of his old life. His wife was dead, and now the Young Children needed to be gone. And that is when i said, theres no way youre going to do that. Im going to fight tooth and nail. He said, if you fight me, im going to get you thrown out of medical school. Im going to call your dean, he started threatening me. Im going to take you down. I said, im calling the police and im im going to destroy you. Martins plans for his daughter giselle were even more sinister. Just a few months after micheles death, martin decided to send giselle back to the ukraine for the summer for what was supposed to be a very brief trip. He sent giselle back home to the ukraine for just two months, but then those two months began stretching into almost a year. The rest of the family couldnt understand why giselle didnt come home. Little did they know that macneill and gypsy willis had taken giselles Social Security number, and created an entirely new identity. Gypsy willis assumed giselles identity. What martin and gypsy had planned for giselle was almost incomprehensible. They were about to embark on a crime spree that wouldve made what martin had done in his early adult years look like childs play. Applebees new loaded chicken fajitas. Now only 10. 99. Ugh.

Giselle was the oldest adopted daughter, and she had family members back in the ukraine. Just a few months after micheles death, martin decided to send giselle back to the ukraine for the summer. I got Text Messages from gypsy saying, your father is too ill to go to ukraine. Is there any way you can take her over to ukraine to be with her sisters for the summer . My dad had just basically said, well get her after the summer. Martin sold this as this great chance for giselle to go back and visit with her sister in ukraine. That was all bologna. Martin and gypsy had bigger plans once giselle was on that plane headed to the other side of the world. They were right at work, stealing giselles identity. Martin had actually taken giselles Social Security number and created a new identity for gypsy. He gave his daughter giselles identity to his girlfriend. They went into court and changed the birth date 20 years. Thats called perjury. Gypsy willis used the identity Jillian Giselle macneill, and alleged that she was the spouse of Martin Macneill. The investigation also found that on that form the marriage date that was listed on that form so happens to be the funeral date for martins former wife, michelle macneill, april 14th of 2007. How did this idea come up to take giselles identity . When i got together with martin, i had a lot of tax debt, probably in the range of 50 or 60,000. This was martin. This was martins idea, this was martins activity. Why did you do it . I said i didnt want to. He said that this is the best way to do it, its temporary, its not gonna hurt anybody, no one will notice. You are talking about a state id card. You are talking about Bank Accounts that were opened up under false names. Martin did a lot of things that were not very sensible. So youre saying martin did all of this without your knowledge . He would tell me he was doing things and id be like, okay, whatever. You got two fake military id cards, three joint banking accounts using a fake name, you got a fake birth certificate, a fake utah state id card, and a fake Social Security card. And youre saying all you did was sort of sign away and not ever ask or wonder how many laws ive broken . How could you be a passive participant in that . Martin was very powerful. He was very influential. I just assumed that he knew what he was doing. Hed been successful all of his life. Gypsy, youre an educated person. You bonded over quantum physics. And now you want me and us and the authorities to believe that you just checked your brain at the door and agreed to all this . When you love someone you do things that dont make a lot of sense. He had everyone confused. He was this pillar of the community. Hed been bishop twice. He had all of the accoutrements to be convincing. Giselle had no idea what was going on, that her identity was being stolen. So that was his whole motivation for abandoning his adopted daughter in the ukraine. Michele adopted her for a reason, and that reason wasnt just to have her get shipped back. When micheles sister linda discovered giselle was still in the ukraine, she set plans in motion right away to bring her back and sent her daughter jill to go to the ukraine. Once she arrived, she discovered that giselle had been living in deplorable conditions. Theres one room, and it has a pullout sofa bed, and its her, her sister, her sisters husband, and their two kids, and they all share that bed. There was a little pan on the floor and i was like, whats this . In the bathroom. And shes like, thats our shower. You just stand in there. Heres giselle. You have to have such compassiukonriane for a couple and she ends up staying nearly a year. What the family didnt know was this incredibly compassionate act of bringing giselle home would put a total wrench in martins plan. Because now there is two people with that Social Security number, there is two people with that name. Once the Identity Theft was uncovered, martin and gypsy were both arrested and they were both convicted and sentenced to separate prisons where they served time for the Identity Theft. Martins gone, but not forever. Hes only behind bars for four years, a fouryear sentence. He will be out eventually. And the family wonders, what else is he capable of doing . Hes a predator, and will be roaming the streets . A short amount of time. And that, to me, is very scary. My body is truly powerful. I have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c.

People from every Network Television were covering this case. Im hoping well get some exposure. People started coming out of the woodwork, saying he raped me, stole from me, threatened me. Prosecutors often use props in trials, but i dont think anybody ever used a bathtub. Get her in the tub, hold her head down for a little while. Between michelle and gypsy, you chose gypsy. Im so sorry for any part i played in anyones pain. Gypsy, you played a big part. Martin still manages to deliver another shock to the family. To take one more life. Heres when alexis surprised him at christmas. It shows a little bit of who we felt like my father was. We wouldve done anything for him and my mom. None of us ever suspected that this person that i knew as my father, it was an act the entire time. Our entire lives are a lie. I really feel like to him we just were a part in a play. Im really scared. Its been just over a year since hes been in jail and that was really the first time that we could sleep really while at night. Knowing that hes not gonna be around the corner. And now, if he gets out of prison for the fraud, then hes like, all right, i got away with the grand ultimate scheme, i shipped my daughter away, stole her identity, gave it to the lady that i had an affair with. Killed my wife, was able to get rid of my other children, and so he comes out on top, and he comes out unharmed. Alexis has temporary custody of her sisters. But shes afraid that wont last. Hed come down here so many times trying to get access to the kids. Saying that hes going to walk in adas school and take her right from school. Saying hes going to grab elle and sabrina and take them back to ukraine and drop them off where no one will find them. Guess what, if i want these children ill come and get them. I know you can, dad. Thats what i dont want. Thats what i want to fight against. You know, when theyre fearful of you and they dont want to see you. If i change my mind i can get them now. Understand that. I can come anytime i want. And now investigators have dr. Martin macneill and his lover, where they want them behind bars. The macneill family stunned, gypsy willis pleaded guilty to four felonies, but they believe she did something much worse than Identity Theft. They say she conspired with him to murder their mother four years ago. At the last sentencing hearing, the only thing he said to me is, i hope youre happy, alexis. I hope youre happy with what youve done. Investigators became convinced that martin had killed michele because he wanted to be with gypsy. While martins serving time, the investigators have this very short window to get charges put together to get him on trial for the murder of his wife. All of Michele Macneills sisters, her mother, her daughters believe that Martin Macneill killed her. What do you think . The reason we have a Homicide Investigation open right now is that we believe that there is probable cause there is foul play involved here. And we believe we are on the right track. The first thing they needed to do was visit the medical examiner and get her to change the cause of death. The manner of death was listed as natural causes. That was a significant report, in that it looked like it was just a natural death, and theres no homicide. Sometimes we would stand toe to toe, yelling at each other, show me that this is a murder. Give me any information. It was a challenge. It was a huge challenge, because police had gathered very little evidence the day that michele died, so they went back and piece by piece tried to put together the events of what happened in the macneill home. One of the most alarming things in the case was the discrepancy of the positioning of micheles body in the bathtub. Michele was originally found by her youngest adopted daughter, ada. Martin macneill had gone to pick ada up. He brings her home. He told her, ada, go check on mommy. She really remembers is vividly even though she was just 6 years old. She had to see something very horrible. What did you see when you walked into the bathroom . She was just laying down, in the bathtub. She was laying down, in the bathtub . She had to wet her hair. Was she all the way in the bathtub, or just part way in the bathtub . All the way. And had you ever seen your mom wet her hair like that before . I dont want to talk about it. How does it make you feel, talking about your mom . Sad. I cant believe that she was used that way. The thought of her 6yearold daughter finding her body, it haunted me, that for the rest of her life ada would remember mommy in the bathtub. Ada had described finding her moms body laying inside the tub with her head above the water. And that was the exact same position that the neighbor who first entered the house found micheles body in. Michele was laying on her back in the tub, face up, with her head underneath the faucet. Your dad said your moms head was under water. Yes, laying face down. You mean bent over the tub . Yes. It seemed like martin was trying to create an image of his wife getting into the bathtub, but had fallen and slipped on her way into the bathtub. Does anybody corroborate martins version of events that morning . No. So its martin on his own, and all the other witnesses on the other side describing pretty much the same scene. Thats correct. Martin definitely appeared to be up to something at the crime scene. When he called 911 at first, he wouldnt give a clear address. I need an ambulance right away he was yelling very hysterically at me. So i kind of had a general area of where the call was probably coming from, but not an exact house address. So the ambulance doesnt know where to go. And precious moments are lost searching for the address where this call originated from. There were a lot of things that martin had done that day that seemed very suspicious. A neighbor came over, and they tried to lift her out of the bathtub and put her on the ground and started performing cpr right away. Martin and i did cpr on her for what felt like several minutes. He, as a doctor, presumably could perform that cpr. There was definitely no response from michelle. I do not recall the chest ever rising. There was no water aspirated out of her lungs until the paramedics arrived. As soon as the emts Start Performing cpr on Michele Macneill, water begins gushing from her mouth. Was he really even trying . It seems as if dr. Martin macneill is doing everything he can to delay saving her life. Thats nothing compared to what happens next. People start coming out of the woodwork, people with damaging information about Martin Macneill. We bought a house in a neighborhood with a lot of other young couples. Then we noticed something. Strange. Oh, could you, uh, make me a burger . Poof youre a burger. [ laughter ] everyone acts like their parents. You have a tattoo. Yes. Fun. Do you not work .

It feels weird to be on this side of the camera for sure. During the time that macneill and gypsy willis are behind bars, its not just the investigators hard at work. Weve been gathering paperwork, whatever we can to help law enforcement. Its micheles family. They start drumming interest in her death. If you know someone who may have been a victim, we want to hear from you. We didnt give up. To get the media involved, and 20 20 was huge with keeping that pressure going and keeping this case alive. The victims came out of the woodwork. Victims of what . Sexual molestation, rape, inappropriateness, as far as a doctor. It became obvious, as this information was coming in, that Martin Macneill was a sexual predator. He would intimidate these people. And so they wouldnt file charges. There were no reports written. And he would move to the next hospital. And did it explain this nomadic existence, this sort of it did. Why the family bounced around . Absolutely. Do you think that he moved on after some sort of incident of bad behavior or criminal behavior . It appears that way. One of the more intriguing tips came from another woman who claimed to be a former mistress. Her name was anna osborne. She described some of the conversations that she would have with martin that were very troubling to her. Anna became just a feast of information. It was during pillow talk with anna osborne that Martin Macneill talked about previous murders. He bragged to a mistress that he killed his brother, rufus roy macneill because he had become an embarrassment. He was high on drugs. And he had a syringe. So he just stuck the syringe in the arm and injected him. He claimed he tried to kill his own mother, and that he had administered several mercy killings at various positions during his medical tenure. He told her he had killed those that were handicapped. In fact, anna personally believed that he was a serial killer. We requested information on a number of the patients and could never prove anything. She was giving us information that spoke directly to his character. It added a piece of the puzzle, who Martin Macneill was. Now with all the evidence that these investigators have managed to compile, theyre trying to use it to hopefully pressure the medical investigator to reopen the case into the manner of death of Michele Macneill. He had misrepresented a lot of the facts about how michele died, where she was, the position of the body and so forth. To distract any suspicion away from him. So a very cold, very calculating person, Martin Macneill. He killed michele, i know he did. We have got tons of evidence. Michelles sister became increasingly disturbed about the true cause of death and she pushed and pushed and pushed until finally authorities agree to review Michele Macneills toxicology report and when they did they found a toxic drug cocktail. Oxycodone. Valium. Valium. Ambien. Ambien. Lortab. If she is feeling better and doesnt like taking these drugs why would she have these drugs in her stomach on a morning when things are going pretty well . Thats a good question. Does that raise suspicions for you . Of course. I would be a very poor investigator if it didnt. We dont know exactly the state she was in when she was drowned and killed. We just know that she was significantly impaired. To the point where she was perhaps passed out, to the point where she was so intoxicated, she would have easily been manipulated. New information raised suspicion. The combination of drugs in her body could have killed her. She may have been forced to take them. Finally, success. It was changed from natural to undetermined. Long story short, undetermined opens the door to the possibility of murder. What is it you think your dad did to your mom . I think he drugged her and then smothered her. I dont know exactly what he did. But i do know he killed her. On friday macneill was released from prison after serving three years for fraud. This weekend macneill returned to the same home where his wifes body was found. Hes out. But not for long. Prosecutors are ready to pounce almost instantly. I like to talk about this case as sort of a puzzle. We certainly had some pieces missing, but i believe we had enough, so we made the decision to charge the case. They told me that they arrested my father five minutes ago. Martin macneill is now in a utah county jail on a 1 million cash bond, facing murder charges. Its horrible to be happy about your father being arrested but finally hes being held accountable for murdering my mother. This is really a bittersweet moment for the macneill children. Seeing their father shackled here in court is something theyve been pushing for for years. This case has no smoking gun. Its all circumstantial evidence. Its all strange behavior and the big question is, will it be enough . Will it be enough to convict Martin Macneill of murder . A migfrom aimovig. To be there for the good. And not so good.

The murder trial of former utah county doctor, Martin Macneill. Martin macneill was charged with murder of his wife michele. After long years of fighting for justice for michele, there was such tension around finally going to trial. And we all had our photos, and we held them up. And we wanted to make sure that my dad knew that he couldnt get away with that, and that shes all around. By the time this trial happened this case was well known. It had gotten a lot of National Publicity as well as local publicity and there was intense media interest in it. It was a crazy media frenzy. She finds her mom dead in the tub. People from every Network Television were covering this case on a daily basis. Let me just say may they rot in hell. This case was on nancy grace every night. It haunted me, but i had to know more. Hundreds of thousands of people from across the country were watching this trial. The record should reflect that the jury is seated. Martin was represented by his longtime attorney, randall spencer, and susanne gustin. Martin macneill is innocent, ladies and gentlemen. The defenses position was that michele died accidentally. The prosecution presented a case that martin had meticulously plotted micheles death. He gave her drugs and sleeping pills to get her to pass out and die. That he had taken her to a doctor out of town and gotten way too much medication. The cephlex is the antibiotic, the phenergan is the antinausea medication, the valium is the anxiety medication, percocet is the pain medication. Dr. Scott thompson was the Plastic Surgeon who performed micheles facelift. Hydrocodone liquid as well, so two pain medication prescriptions. The ambien for the sleeping, the arithromycin eye ointment and then the medral dose pack. I remember him testifying to administering more drugs than what he would normally do, because martin was going to be caring for michele. Why did you prescribe it here . Because martin was a physician and he asked me for these things. Was it your intention that michele take all these drugs together . No. Would you have prescribed this combination to her if martin was not a physician . No. Taking center stage, a model of a bathtub. Today they brought in a bathtub for the jury to see. Prosecutors often use props in murder trials but i dont think anybodys ever used a bathtub as a prop until this murder trial. This bathtub, ladies and gentlemen, has an important story to tell. Theres about an hour and half period of time where no one really knows where martin is. Plenty of time. Rush home, give michele the drugs, fix her up a bath, get her in the tub, hold her head down for a little while. Martin described finding michele in the tub as if she was outside the tub but bent over, with her head down underneath the water. He described it as saw her face down, the wrong way in the tub. What did he tell you . He said he found her slumped over into the tub. When in reality, she was found entirely inside the tub with her head up above the water. Ada had described finding her moms body laying inside the tub with her head above the water, and that was the exact same position that the neighbor who first entered the house found micheles body in. I saw that michele was in the tub and martin was over the tub. Will you show the jury where her head was . Her head was right here. Right here would be above the line. The eyewitness testimony was far different from what martin was describing. And he asked his sons girlfriend her name was eileen hang and she testified at trial about martin asking them to flush these drugs. Martin seemed frustrated. He said, i dont want to do this anymore, and then he asked me to flush the pills down the toilet. Did that request seem strange to you . At the time it did seem strange, yes. One of the more dramatic moments in the trial was when a former mistress of Martin Macneills took the stand. Please raise your right hand and take an oath. Anna osborne walthall ended up testifying about how martin confided some very deep and dark things with her. Did martin ever describe the process of making someone have a heart attack . Yes. Martin had described how he had the perfect way to kill someone. Theres something you can give someone thats natural, thats there after they give a heart attack so that its not detectable. And so you could cause someone to have a heart attack and the drug was supposed to be there anyway and so you wouldnt be able to tell. Thats correct. It showed martins knowledge about how he could make a murder look like it was an accident or naturally caused in some fashion. Youve also written in emails to the investigators that youre really excited about the prospect of martin being off the streets for a very long time, right . Probably. Martin macneill showed little to no emotion during the entire trial. He sat there stoic, stonefaced, no expression, which was really something given the high emotion around him. I knew that something bad had happened. The extraordinarily emotional tearful testimony of his own children. Who is Martin Macneill . Hes my dad. Who took the stand and testified against him. Ms. Macneill, if you will come forward here to the clerks desk. To go and face my father and to hold him accountable for what hed done was incredibly difficult. How close would you describe your relationship with your dad growing up . Growing up, my father was my best friend. The macneill daughters testified about their relationship with their father, how their trust was slowly eroded. Thats gypsy Jillian Willis. His own blood relatives were turning against him, his own daughters believed he murdered mommy. A jury cannot turn away from that type of evidence. What really made me turn around initially was alexis. Walking into that courtroom i felt a calmness come over me. It was two days worth of testifying. Alexis takes the stand and immediately gets a serious blow. Her testimony regarding what her mother told her. She said, if anything happens to me, make sure it wasnt your dad. Was ruled out as hearsay. But alexis testimony was gripping. She said, lexi, i dont know why, but your dad kept giving me medication. He kept giving me things, telling me to swallow. And she still has bandages on her eyes. Yes. She described the first incident when her mother was practically comatose. Her story about how her dad overdosed on one day and then did it again. I thought, whoa. Thats huge. She said that she didnt want my dad to give her any more medicine. She actually had me take out every single pill from the pill bottles and she wanted to feel what the pills felt like in her fingers because at that time she couldnt see. So that if my dad tried to give her anything shed know what he was giving her. I wasnt scared of him and i wasnt intimidated. Ever since the day my mom died, i was concerned that my father killed her. She described it all for the jury including the arrival of gypsy willis. Was the defendant confronted with the suspicions of an affair . Yes. So what would the nanny have to say for herself . I thought she was our nanny. Why is she up in dads room . The nanny who was clearly also the girlfriend. She was nothing like my mom. Please raise your right hand and take an oath. People wanted to hear what gypsy had to say. I cant believe it. That i won the best of sweepstakes and i get to be in this geico commercial . Lets do the eyebrows first, just tease it a little. Slather it all over, dont hold back.

On the sixth day of testimony in the murder trial of Martin Macneill there was a huge amount of public interest, because that was the day that gypsy willis was set to take the stand. The state calls gypsy willis. And in the end the state pulled out the trump card. The mistress. My name is gypsy willis. People wanted to hear what gypsy had to say. People wanted to see what happened when gypsy and Martin Macneill, who had been separated now for quite some time, were once again together in the same courtroom. How do you know the defendant . We were involved a number of years ago. We met online. Did the relationship become sexual . It did. I think we probably had sex half the time. Sometimes it was just lunch. Gypsy was very cold on the stand. And she responded without emotion. She didnt really own up to the inappropriate behavior that that was. You appear to be minimizing your relationship with the defendant. I dont believe so. She wasnt telling a full and complete story. A difficult person to get to engage on the witness stand. This was two years after she passed away, i dont ill ask the questions, thanks. Or she was couching her story in terms that were beneficial to martin. Because she still had feelings for martin. There was one point where she lied about the extent of their relationship after they were both sent to federal prison. So you didnt have a relationship after that . After that he wrote to me while i was in jail, yes. Okay, so he wrote to you . Well, we wrote back and forth, yes. And you referred to each other with terms of endearment and such. Prison is a very lonely place. And how does he address it to you . Dear sweetheart. Would you read this line he wrote to you right there . I will work hard to keep your love for me. Gypsy willis was forced to read her love letters in front of the jury. I love you and miss you more than you can imagine. Macneill had sat, stoic, for a large part of the testimony. But when that happened he had a visible reaction. I wish i could sleep for the next 20 months and do nothing but dream of being with you. I love you with all of my heart and think of nothing but a future with you. The jury was finally seeing the real Martin Macneill. During the preliminary hearing, when she left the stand after testifying, when she walked by martin, she was touching the table and sort of dragging her fingers along the table so i think that was a clear signal to him that, martin, i still love you. I still have feelings for you. It was toward the end of the trial that the prosecution pulled out its big guns. They had a series of witnesses who had served time with Martin Macneill when he was in prison for Identity Fraud. Weve discussed previously that were gonna refer to you as inmate number three. Is that okay . Yes, sir. The judge ruled before trial that none of the jailhouse informants faces or names would be mentioned in court because they could get labeled as a snitch and possibly get repercussions in prison or even be murdered. Did you ever know martin . Yes, sir. Did he have a nickname . Doc. Everybody around him called him doc. According to inmates in the prison with Martin Macneill he got on pretty well with the other prisoners. One time my foot was bothering me and he gave me advice on what was wrong with it. Did you guys become friendly . Yes, sir. How did that happen . I work out a lot, and we used to ask me a lot of questions about working out. Soon we started working out together. Jogged, ran, everything. Prior to micheles death martin used to walk around with a limp and a cane, and claim that he had a bad foot because their theory was that martin was basically trying to set an explanation for why he would be physically unable to pull michele, his wife, from the bathtub. Did he ever walk with a limp that you saw . I didnt see it. What about use a cane . No. He did a lot of different calisthenic type exercise. Well, the inmates testified that that condition, whatever it was, magically disappeared. The state may call its next witness. The state calls jason porier. By the time trial came around he was out of custody. And his safety wasnt really jeopardized in testifying. I would have him read my poetry. He would correct it and give me some advice on how to make it better. Did martin talk to you at all about the relationship he had with his wife before she died . A little bit, yes. Do you recall what he said . That it was going downhill and that they were trying to get his money, she was not gonna let him keep cheating on her. She wasnt going to allow that. While martin was serving time for Identity Fraud in a texas prison, inmates learned that he was suspected of killing his wife after watching a television show. Someone came to me and said come look at the tv real quick and they said do you recognize that guy on there . Is he in your Computer Class . And i said, yeah, thats doc. Do you recall what the program was . Yeah, it was nancy grace. The next morning i saw him coming through the breakfast line and i walked up to him and i said hey, doc, did you see tv last night . And he said no, he said dont say anything to anybody. Ill talk to you later about it. He pretty much just opened up about it. He said he gave her some oxy and some sleeping pills and then got her to get in the bathtub. Did he say what he did next . Later on he just said he had to help her out. And i asked him what that was and he said he held her head under the water for a little while. If they could prove that, you think id be sitting her talking to you . So i said, well, did you do it . He said the drowned. He said his wife drowned . Yes, sir. And he referred to her as a . Yes, sir. He said im glad the is dead. I was pretty shocked. I was very happy in large part with how the evidence came out. When we filed the case we werent aware of the inmates testimony at all. So it was purely circumstantial. The jury was left trying to determine who was telling the truth. Dr. Martin macneill, appointed by the governor to run a huge medical facility, or an inmate in the texarkana federal pen . After 22 days its time for closing arguments. The case is about to go to the jury, and a judgment will finally be rendered on whether Martin Macneill is guilty of murder. All of the evidence which you hear in this case must be filtered through the proof beyond a reasonable doubt filter. Martin macneill murdered his wife michele. Her death was not the result of an accident and it was most certainly not the result of a hopes you drive safely. Drive safely. With drivewise. It lets you know when you go too fast.

Off deep woods provides long lasting mosquito protection so you can keep living life your way off live on sc johnson its now in the jurys hands to decide. The jury began to deliberate. It was in the early afternoon of a friday. Wed been in there about five hours, and i honestly felt, i think this is going to be a hung jury, and were going to have to go with a not guilty. It was about 1 15 in the morning when the jury came into the room and delivered their verdict. Thank you, please be seated. 11 hours. Thats not a lot for a homicide case, especially one thats built on circumstantial evidence, you know. And i was worried then. We are on the record in the matter of state of utah versus Martin Joseph macneill. I was wondering if they were coming back too early for a conviction. Mr. Macneill, if you will stand, please. We the jury find the defendant as to count one, murder, guilty. I was so overwhelmed, when i heard guilty. I burst into tears. I was sobbing. So many emotions, so much sadness, so much loss, but finally having my dad be held accountable for taking our mother from us, i felt very, very blessed. As to count two, obstruction of justice, guilty. Some people dont understand. They say, arent you happy that your father is in prison . But it was not a happy sensation. It was horrifying. For six years weve put everything we have into it, and we can finally take a deep breath and put it behind us. After the verdict, i was sitting, actually, in that room alone. And i heard the shackles being put back on my dad. Just vividly remember that sound, and it took my breath away. cause i knew, you know, i knew he was going away now, for good, and i was very grateful and relieved, and it had to happen, but it was it was hard. Months later when it came time to sentence Martin Macneill, each one of them had the opportunity to stand up and tell the court, the world, and mostly their father what he did to them. Today, i can finally look into the eyes of my sisters murderer, and say, martin, you havent gotten away with this. I miss my mother more than words could ever describe, i miss her every day. The murder of my mother killed a piece of us all. Nothing done here today will right that wrong. I ask for the maximum sentencing. Doing so will finally allow my family the chance to heal. Thank you very much. I looked at my father, and i showed him how i felt with my eyes, and that was the time that i was able to look at him, finally. I remember them talking about the lack of remorse that they could see in their dad. In fact, martin was joking and talking throughout the sentencing with his attorneys, showing a complete lack of respect for his own daughters. Judge polan handed down the harshest punishment, 15 years to life in prison. At least her family can rest assured that Martin Macneill will likely die in prison. Do you think that Martin Macneill underestimated his daughters . Absolutely, and micheles sisters. He just thought they would all fade into the woodwork and accept this . Thats right. Gypsy was never prosecuted, but shes guilty. Shes guilty of my mothers murder. Im sure of it. She was the motive, and i know she knows more than she portrayed in court. Gypsy willis was never charged with murder because we couldnt prove that she was involved, as either a direct participant in micheles murder or even an accessory. We believe she was the motive, but we simply did not have the evidence to prove that she murdered michele or was an accessory to her death. So many people think that you must have known. No. Or that you were in on it. That is incorrect. I dont believe martin murdered michele. We have to respect the jury, but i dont. I mean, i dont i dont believe that of him. And what would you say to alexis and rachel, the daughters of michele, who loved their mother very much. I would say to them, i am so sorry for any part i played in anyones pain. Gypsy, you played a big part. I realize that. And it was completely unintentional. Well, you knew he was married and had eight children when you were sleeping with him. I knew who his wife was. If i had wanted to disrupt his life i could have gone and had a conversation with her. I am so sorry for their pain. I dont feel like she has any any remorse. Shes a very evil person. She and my father, i believe, were perfect for each other. Martins story isnt over yet. Hes in prison for the rest of his life, and yet he still manages to take one more life. The question is.

So cheers if you come up here and you see these weeds, you want to just uproot them, you know. This is one of those things that when youre retired, you come out in the morning and you come out in the evening, when its cool and nice. And its a wonderful time to think. Doug whitney, who came out of retirement to investigate Martin Macneill, is now happily back, tending the farm, so to speak. This is a wonderful place to retire and ive seen a lot of the ugliness in the world. And now i get to see a lot the beauty. The investigators were just amazing. These are my heroes, my personal heroes. And i love them. And in 2017, Martin Macneill delivered one more shock. A utah doctor who murdered his wife was found dead today at the utah state prison. Prison sources claim it appears to be a suicide. Alexis called me. And we both just screamed and cried. It didnt surprise me that he committed suicide. He had recently lost his appeal. And he was going to remain in prison. And he probably saw it as just no life at all. He killed himself just a couple days before the tenyear anniversary of my mothers murder. Rachel, vanessa, and i were standing over his body. Seeing him in the funeral home. I was able to finally feel some peace with my father. I was able to tell my father that i forgave him, that i loved him, and not feel fear and not feel anger. I was able to let go of feeling that hatred and that pain and just obsessing over my fathers act. Alexis ended up successfully adopting her little sisters, and has raised them with ada, sabrina, and elle. Ady is 18 years old, she just graduated from high school. My little sister, elle, that just had her first baby a month ago. She has an 11monthold little girl. Im going to school to be a licensed clinical social worker, so i can help other people with therapy one day. Alexis is now married with children of her own. I just cant imagine how much joy shed have with my children, being in our lives. Shes missed out on so much. The sisters have done everything they can to erase evidence of martin in their lives. Alexis has taken her mothers maiden name as her last name and now works as dr. Somers. I dont want to be dr. Macneill. I dont want to have any part of my dad. They even allowed a volunteer to sand off the words wife of martin from Michele Martins tombstone. We celebrate her every january 15th, balloons and cake. She wouldve been 62. Come on now, sophie. Yeah, you did it. An incredible family. Thanks for watching. Im amy robach. For david muir and everyone here at 20 20, good night. A brand new foot bridge thats supposed to keep
