anymore. in the garage the forensic evidence suggests the fight turned violent. jonathan grabbed a baseball bat and struck her repeatedly in the head. to cover up the crime, jonathan pushed the driver s seat of michelle s car all the way back, put her body inside, grabbed a pair of her shoes and the suitcase, then drove one mile to the nearby creek. he maneuvered the vehicle down the slight embankment and staged the accident. the foot impressions leading away from the car tied jonathan nyce to the scene. prosecutors think he walked the one mile back to their home. later, jonathan cleaned the blood from the garage, but tiny
the snow near michelle s body. the problem is, it s snow and snow melts. so very quickly the detail will disappear and that s what happened in this case. still, some detail remained in the photograph. there was enough detail to say it was the same manufacturer s design and size. but why were the soles to a pair of boots glued on to a pair of loafers? dr. nyce had a pair of moccasins and he had gotten a pair of work-type boots and he had somehow used a saw to shave the sole off the boot and he put on the bottom of a pair of moccasins and glued them on there. i guess for comfort reasons. so he could go outside without wearing out the sole of the moccasin. this forensic evidence suggests that jonathan nyce wore these loafers on the night of the murder, leaving the impressions in the snow. when he got home, he removed the
she had a very distinctive voice. and he knew it was her. it appeared there was sexual activity taking place. the caller demanded $500,000 or else he would embarrass the doctor by releasing the tape to the couple s friends and business associates. nyce immediately confronted his wife, michelle. she states that yes, she did have the affair. that the individual she had the affair with is an employee at a landscaping company. his name was miguel dejesus. he was 32 years old. they met when dejesus was doing work on the nyces yard. when questioned by police, dejesus denied making the phone call trying to extort money from the couple. miguel dejesus was a guy who had several different social security numbers, was living with another woman. i think she was a common law wife. had gotten another woman pregnant and refused to pay child support. i mean, he was not an upstanding character by anybody s estimate.
he claimed michelle planned to divorce her husband. i would never in a million years believe she would leave the kids because of for the gardener. despite outward appearances, investigators learned the couple was broke. jonathan s company went bankrupt before he could bring his new drug to market. he was developing a new asthma type drug. and he was a successful scientist. unfortunately, it does not appear that he was as good a businessman as he was a scientist. and friends told investigators that michelle had recently caught jonathan in a huge lie. she went into this marriage thinking that he was ten years younger than he actually was. and that did not come to light until 10, 12 years into their marriage. she was very upset about it. but it was one of those things that they already have kids. they were married.
that the location is somewhere else, but this is where the body was left. on the night of the murder, michelle worked the evening shift at the cosmetics counter of a local department store. she left around 10:00 p.m. she told her husband she was going out for a drink with her girlfriends. but the owner of a nearby motel told police michelle was there that night in a room with a man he identified as miguel dejesus, the gardener she had been involved with a year earlier. when questioned, dejesus admitted having sex with michelle that night but insisted he had nothing to do with her murder. he said michelle left in her car around midnight and that he went home to his wife. he told us what they did, where they went, and again, all of that was verified. dejesus did reveal one surprising piece of information.
