William McGuire acquired the respect of his colleagues at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, but the onetime Woodbridge man also had a troubled past.

Special to the Home News Tribune
This police sketch of a body found in Chesapeake Bay, Va., led to its identification as William T. McGuire, 39, of Woodbridge.

While that complicated picture of him emerged yesterday, his grisly death remained shrouded in mystery.

McGuire's remains were discovered in three suitcases in the Chesapeake Bay in May. Authorities confirmed his identity Wednesday.

McGuire, 39, had worked at NJIT for four years, most recently holding the job of senior programmer analyst in the school's Department of Information Resource Development, a school spokeswoman said. He was also an adjunct professor.

He graduated cum laude from NJIT in 2001 with a bachelor's degree in management.

"The NJIT community is shocked by the loss of a young life full of promise, and extends its deepest sympathies to his family, friends and co-workers," NJIT spokeswoman Jean M. Llewellyn said yesterday in a prepared statement.

Serena Branson, an assistant to the dean of the College of Computing Sciences, Stephen Seidman, works down the hall from McGuire's office.

"He was quite a consummate professional," Branson said of McGuire, adding that he was also quiet. "He wasn't known to be a chatty person."

Many people were still reeling from the news, she said.

"It's just a total shock to hear about a story like that and have it be a colleague. You don't expect it to happen, especially in such a gruesome manner," she said.

Thomas Terry, the head of the department, said McGuire frequently went into the field in connection with the department's project to maintain an emergency communications network for the state Department of Health and Senior Services.

"His job was to make sure government agencies were using the computers and understood how to work them," Terry said.

Some of his duties involved working on the computer help desk for the department, Terry said.

Although the department performs homeland-security work, the project "has nothing to do with databases that have any information that was sensitive," he said.

Terry said McGuire was supposed to be away on vacation until two weeks ago. McGuire told Terry he planned on staying in New Jersey during his time off.

"When he didn't come back, we wondered what happened to him," he said. Terry heard McGuire died Friday, but only learned of his grim murder from news reports yesterday, he said.

He said McGuire and his wife had two boys, 4 and 2.

Other accounts paint a more troubled picture of McGuire.

McGuire filed for bankruptcy in June 1999. He had a horrendous driving record, amassing 37 points, according to the state Motor Vehicle Commission. He and his wife, Melanie, filed for divorce in Middlesex County, but the action was dismissed, according to Family Court personnel. Since it was dismissed -- withdrawn -- the file was sealed, court staff said. A date of that filing was not made public.

On Nov. 12, 1997 McGuire received three years probation and fines of $1,550 for false tampering with a witness, a third-degree crime.

Charges were filed against McGuire in Scotch Plains in 1996 and Woodbridge one year later. When he pleaded guilty in Union County to the charges filed in Scotch Plains, the charges in Woodbridge were dropped, according to court records.

According to court records, the Scotch Plains arrest involved "fabricating false testimony regarding circumstances surrounding a motor-vehicle stop . . . and discussing and/or preparing such testimony with witness identified as Melanie L. Slate," who went on to become Melanie McGuire.

According to the probation report, McGuire already had a disorderly-persons offense for "wrongful impersonation" prior to the arrest in Scotch Plains.

Woodbridge police Capt. Charles Rowinski would not give further details about the Woodbridge arrest, citing a request by homicide investigators in Virginia.

McGuire and his wife lived in various places during the past few years -- on Forest Haven Boulevard in Edison and at two addresses on Plaza Drive in Woodbridge at the Woodbridge Centre Plaza Apartments. They also had an address listing in East Stroudsburg, Pa.

The couple's last known address was 2902 Plaza Drive. More than a dozen neighbors contacted Wednesday had no information about the couple. A few said the occupants of the apartment recently vacated it. A phone number at that address in Melanie McGuire's name has been disconnected.

Rowinski said Woodbridge police never received a missing-persons report on William McGuire. He said the department has not sought to question Melanie McGuire.

"We don't have any evidence that a crime occurred in Woodbridge," said Rowinski. "It's a possibility that they could be estranged from each other, and he just left on his own accord."

Assistant Middlesex County Prosecutor Thomas Kapsak said his office is not investigating since there is no proof anything in connection with the case occurred in Middlesex County.

An anonymous tip leading to identification of the body as McGuire came from the Hampton Roads, Va. area, according to Don Rimer, spokesman for the Virginia Beach Police Department.

The call was placed to 1-888-LOCK-U-UP, a toll-free tip line for the Virginia Beach Crime Solvers Office, after a composite drawing of victim was published by area newspapers, local television stations and CNN.

A positive identification was made with forensic information gathered in Virginia. No New Jersey law-enforcement agencies were needed to make the identification, according to Rimer.

The first discovery came May 5 at 11:30 when a local fisherman found a small piece of luggage floating in the water near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. The fisherman opened the suitcase, found human remains and called police.

A second suitcase containing human remains was found May 11 by a graduate student conducting research near Fisherman's Island, a federally protected bird preserve. The third suitcase was discovered May 16. The three suitcases were discovered within about a 10-mile radius, according to Rimer.
