The case on yesterday - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Okay you must all know how bad i am with names. Well yesterday they had the case of the husband who claimed his wife had a nervous breakdown and left his house. He claimed that he came down in the middle of the night and found her cryng and then playing with clothes. The next day she disappears. He finds a note when he gets home saying that she met a woman and is leaving her. This same woman left her job abruptly a few weeks before this bolstering hte claim that she left on her own. So the husband is on the show and i almost believe him.

Anyway, the cops suspect the husband. Two letters come in claiming she was a cheat and naming people at work that she was having affairs with. When the cops bring them in their is nothing to substantiate these claims. Just by listenting to these letters you could tell it was the husband being jealous. They find out one of the husbands family members typewriter was used to type the letter.

At the end they show him saying he misses her and wants her to at least let them know she is okay.

Next thing that comes up is a lifetime update stating that this same husband was dating a woman in 1999 who broke it off with him and started dating another guy. The husband goes to her house one night kills her and wounds the guy and then drives three hours and shoots himself dead in a field. The cops looked for the first wife's body to know avail. Me and my husband just knew it.......what person kills there wife but then sends two letters to the cops telling them she was cheating and deserved to die....the husband.!!!

I could not believe this guy was so calm on the TV show.....i believed him a lot more then i believe Scott Peterson...you never know....

Anyone remember the names of this couple...

Yes, their names were Stephen & Doreen Marfeo. The first time I saw this, I tended to sympathize with the husband. Of course the update changed my mind. I also noticed when I watched it yesterday that he said she had taken a few things from her closet. I have a hard time believing he was observant enough to know that a few things were gone from her closet (if everything was gone that would be a different story). That reminded me of the case of Kristy Nichols that went missing. I personally believe the husband was responsible for her disappearance as well and he was able to describe exactly which clothes she had taken with her. Of course this suitcase magically appeared a few weeks or months later with everything he had described in it.

One thing I couldn't figure out. If Stephen Marfeo wrote all the letters, which it seems he did, why would be basically implicate himself by describing how he killed her?

Here is a the Doe Network profile on Doreen:

Actually if I remember correctly, there were two cases on that were similar. The Marfeo case and the Page case. The one I believe "ddelta" was looking for was the Paige case, although these may be very confusing.

The two cases were on the same episode that is rerun on Lifetime. But whether or not they were shown in the same episode on NBC, I don't remember.

The Doreen Marfeo case was in Rhode Island, while the Pam Page case is an Arizona one.

It was shocking when I first learned that Stephen Marfeo had killed an ex-girlfriend in 1999, and soon killed himself. WFXT 25 (a Boston FOX affiliate) did a feature on the case early this year, as part of their weekly "Unsolved" segment. Since Stephen Marfeo's suicide, there have been no new developments as to Doreen's whereabouts. But the cops investigating the case haven't given up.
