The $10,000 Bribe: A Doctor's Calculated Betrayal - Part 1

In Part 1 of the MacNeill Case, we unravel the depraved story of Dr. Martin MacNeill, a prominent Utah physician and former LDS bishop accused of planning his wife’s death behind a "picture-perfect" facade. This episode shows how a pillar of the community utilized his medical authority and social standing to manipulate those around him while leading a double life.

The Forced Facelift: Martin pressured a healthy Michele into an unnecessary surgery to justify his "care" for her.

The Lethal Cocktail: Martin took total control of Michelle's post-op care, insisting on a potent mix of drugs.

The $10,000 Hospital Bribe: Shocking testimony revealed Martin offered cash to a doctor to "save" Michele.

The Safety Fair Alibi: Martin aggressively sought to be photographed at a local event to create a timed paper trail.

The Instant Replacement: Within weeks of the funeral, Martin moved his mistress, Gypsy Willis, into the family home calling her the new "nanny."
