There's no way I can believe any word of his daughter.

The fact that he hasn't even spoken to her family and has been 100% uncooperative speaks VOLUMES! His daughter is in an uncharted area of denial.

The daughter is a real piece of work..she benefitted off of her step moms wealth and goodness…

A dog lover will never ever leave their dogs.

Not reporting your wife missing for so long is very suspicious.

That hairdresser has a good soul!

He and his daughter both have sinister vibes. 😳 I hope justice will be served someday soon!!!!

The daughter knows exactly what happened. They should drag her in for an intense interview.

The daughter infuriates me!! Calling her a loner when she was apparently a social person is ridiculous!! Loners don’t join writing groups and make friends with their hairdressers. I wanted to just go up to her and be like your dad is a murdering POS who was so cold toward his supposed “love of his life” and just because you didn’t see that side of him as his daughter doesn’t mean he isn’t capable of it

I'd bet money on the fact that his cold-hearted daughter knows EXACTLY what happened. What horrible people they both are.

Please don't stop with this investigation!

Waitress: "Would you like another coffee, sir?" Donny: "I plead the Fifth."

“Four cars pulled up and told him to get on the ground. It was pretty traumatizing.” You know what else is traumatizing? Getting murdered by your husband!! RIP Marsha.

Ah yes, marital issues, his failing business that is built on her money, she goes missing and isn't reported missing, her jewellery gets sold, leaves her home that was built for her by her parents, leaves her dogs, leaves all the things that anyone would need to leave. Man there is no way

Marsha was really isolated after her parents passed away. Nobody noticed she was gone for months. That was precious time wasted that allowed the husband to get rid of evidence.

That stepdaughter has an evil look in her eye. I never understand why people just don't leave. Even if they don't agree with a divorce, just leave. Leave that toxicity. Save yourself.

Someone that went through severe depression, the one thing you need most is your dogs. Those were her kids, you would never leave them behind. He sold all her jewelry for freak sake. He was a handyman concrete comes to mind. RIP Marsha my heart goes out to you, all your family and your friends. God bless you hair stylist.

Omg this bloke totally did it. No truly “concerned” husband keeps pleading the 5th

“I plead the fifth” in my opinion confirms guilt. you wouldn’t have to plead the fifth if you weren’t doing anything wrong. his daughter, what a joke she is

No one who loves dogs the way she did just leaves them, without a word. Narcissists don't deserve good people in their lives.

Whaaaat?? A daughter doesn't think her dad killed her stepmom? What a shock that she's taking his side. /s All of her friends had the same to say about Marsha but only the hubby and step kids had anything negative to say about her. That speaks volumes!

Boy his daughter's just like him. She had a house & dogs she would no way have left. When you're 'troubled & depressed' your animals are the only ones you want to be around. Poor Marcia...it's as though he used everything she had to give him then crumpled her up & threw her away. Saddest thing ever. So sorry for this family.

The fact that she was massively depressed makes it LESS likely that she would have been able to pull off this kind of disappearing act and maintain it for so long, or to commit suicide in a way that hid her body from ever being found. Real bad vibes are coming off the husband and his daughter.

Well, based on how the daughter behaves in the interview. The daughter might have been the one who murdered her stepmom for the money, together with her father. She definitely knows what happened to Marsha. She is a witness that keeps the truth from Marsha's family and friends. She didn't speak any nice words about Marsha, only about her dad... So so sad. I can't believe they are getting away with it.

This case is so sad 😭. This man probably thought no one would look for her because she had no parents 💔. I’m glad someone did something and I hope some day justice is served.

I could not help but notice how his daughter's eyes never left the ground while he was speaking during the press conference. She is the sole keeper of his many secrets!

He murdered her for sure, and shame on their daughter for denying what is beyond obvious … disgusting.

Shame on the daughter for taking her step mom's wealth and lying for her murderer father and money - hope the same pain happens to your own precious kids. If I were that new lover and watch this episode, I would get the hell out of killer's house

What a creep...what did she ever see in him...RIP Marsha, you deserved better,

His lawyer and daughter are a real piece of work no common sense he pleads the fifth fails a polygraph sells her jewelry has her phone and everything she owns was left behind! Disgusting!

The fact that her phone never left her home was something they could have keyed on..no women leaves her phone behind..it’s her lifeline.

It is always extra sad when the victims genuinely loved their murderous spouses. Such rotten betrayal...

I wouldn’t be surprised if he buried Marsha’s body in concrete in someone’s basement to never be found again . He does construction he has access to all kinds of supplies, tools and areas . May Marsha be found some day so her family can have closure and move forward.

It's awesome that the stepdaughter got herself all gussied up to talk about her dad murdering her stepmom.

Unbelievable. They need to find more evidence and charge him again. It'd be nice if someone would do a podcast on this.

You can see sadness in Marsha's eyes even though she is smiling.

The step daughter seems so indignant!!! It's disgusting. Everyone gets what is coming to them in the end.

I truly pray this beautiful lady gets the justice she deserves 🙏 Shame on the step-daughter for speaking so disrespectfully about her stepmother, karma will catch up with you young lady!

Nobody just goes missing. That pretty much never happens. I’ve never watched one of these where a person has just decided to up and leave everyone and everything they love and just go somewhere and not contact any friends or loved ones. If someone is missing and is never found, it’s safe to say they are no longer living on this earth. They don’t just abandon their lives.

If I was severely depressed and needed some time away from my life...the last thing I wouldn't leave behind is my dogs. Dogs help get you through times like that. There are other ways justice will be served. Condolences.

It’s so sad that it took people months to notice her missing … but nice to see there are fighting for her now!

So let me get this right. Marsha went into depression after her parents suddenly died a month apart, yet we are to believe she left the house they built her. She supposedly also left her dogs behind. She left her family and friends too, supposedly. No way do I believe that. As a person who lost both parents unexpectedly, I went into a depression too. I worked through the pain with the help of my pets, family, and friends. I cherish anything that belonged to my parents. I don't think this woman willingly left her life.

So if someone goes missing, their medical records can be read out to all the world? There's so much wrong with this.

The stepdaughter comes across as cold and completely in love with herself.

The stepdaughter knows more, she admits. Look at the smirk on her face, when asked what she thinks happened to Marsha... She probably helped. She never confronted her father, if he did something. She either knows, he did it, maybe even helped him to get rid of the body, or she is an unemphatic sociopath. Loving your parent still makes you want to know what really happened. She keeps smirking during the whole document. She feels like she knows more than the rest of us and it makes her feel superior. She cannot control the joy of feeling superior. It makes her feel so good.

Daddy's little girl knows more than she's telling.

Marsha would be a blessing to have as a friend. Justice for Marsha!

As a fellow dog lover... There is No way, that she would leave her dogs behind!!!

One day, something will break this case wide open. I hope that day comes soon.

The most natural thing she would have done is kick her conniving husband out of her house.Him saying she left on her own accord is absurd

Why don't the police check the e-mail that was send to the writers club? You can find out where the e-mail was send from.

His daughter knows too, her half smile creeps me out!

the #1 sign of guilty husband is when they do not report their spouse missing

The daughter saying she was a different person after she lost her parents in a voice of annoyance is so callas and cold. Yeah, if you were close to your parents and lost them that close together, you would be sad, depressed, changed.

"I plead the fifth" is a pretty clear indicator you have done something wrong that you don't want to admit out loud.

I love how diligent 48 hours is in solving a case! Please find Marsha!

Makes you wonder how many people, isolated for whatever reason, may have gone missing yet don't have anyone to notice and seek help...

I hope and pray that Marsha gets justice. Just because she was depressed doesn’t mean she ran away or ended it. There are a lot of people who deal with severe depression everyday who do not run away or end it. God bless Marsha, her family and all those who loved her.

The stepdaughter gives me the ick. He no doubt killed Marsha. I feel so terrible for her family. He is an evil man and the stepdaughter is blindly ignorant and way too trusting.

met on a dating website , that's a disaster in itself

Ah yes.. they have marital issues, so she leaves the house her parents built for her instead of kicking him out. Makes sense. Leaves all her clothes, and her dogs behind. His daughter absolutely helped in some way, shape, or form. I wonder if luminol would work after almost 14 years. They certainly had time to clean it up and dispose of her body. I'm willing to bet that she's in the city dump, and it makes me so sad because if that's true.. she'll never be laid to rest.

The step daughter saying she wasn't loving and saying she was a loner make me think she was tryna indicate she maybe just left on her own. Which I don't think anyone believes. I'm a loner but I'm not leaving without my dog and ferret.

If you don’t want to be with a woman, why can’t you just walk away? My wife of 11 years makes me more mad than anybody else in this world, but while I am mad, I can look at her and still know all of the reasons why I love her. How could you think of hurting somebody like this?

Huge clue when they don't report their loved one missing.

I really hope that Marsha’s remains are found so that she can be properly laid to rest and that someone comes forward with additional information so that justice can be served. My thoughts and prayers are with Marsha’s family and loved ones.

Being in dog rescue for 20+ years, I can truly say from my experience, that animal lovers like Marsha are compassionate, empathetic people. Do not feel she would ever leave her furrbabies. Truly sad & terrible what happened to her. Her beady eyed husband sitting in that deposition taking the 5th was sickening & sooo telling! His daughter is delusional a minimum! I wish they would find her remains & pray justice is served someday. They should bring out cadaver dogs around house, woods, etc. Peace to her family & many thanks, bless the Hairdresser. ❤🙏

Kelly the hairdresser was a godsend in this case.

"They had a loving marriage?" Step daughter: "yes" *shakes her head no*

It’s just crazy . She is dead and her husband did it for sure . It’s crazy how he just gets to live out his life . This story breaks my heart , they haven’t even found her body and who knows if they will . I pray for Marsha ❤

Watching him twitch his swivel chair around when being questioned by detectives is a self- soothing, nervous action and is very telling. He's super guilty. He covered his tracks but money is the reason.

She definitely DID NOT run off. Someone DEFINITELY harmed her. I CANNOT WAIT FOR KARMA TO DO HER THING AND FOR JUSTICE TO BE SERVED! Prayers go out to her family.

I am usually on the fence on cases like this.. but he did it. His daughter either is in denial, or somehow she is an accomplice.

So thankful that 48 Hours is putting full episodes online!!!

He did it and it’s a shame he’s not behind bars. RIP Marsha 🕊️

The moment I heard “he didn’t report his wife missing” I already knew he did it 🤦🏽‍♀️

This lady is so pretty she kinda looks like Princess Diana in some of the photos of her shown in this episode I know Im late in the comments however as being a dog owner thats one thing you most likely dont leave behind if you unable to bring them with you , you arrange someone to foster them or make arrangements for someone to walk them (dog walkers) or make sure that they will be loved and to take real good care for them knowing that you dogs will be missing you

I have bipolar disorder and right now I'm going through one of many major depressive episodes. The one thing bringing me comfort? My dogs. They are cuddled up with me while I watch this. *I would never leave my dogs behind* if I were leaving my home for some reason. Not unless I planned to die, and then I would have to know they were going to be taken care of. I have two dachshunds. I have other animals too, but it just really hit me when they said Marsha had a dachshund. They are incredibly sweet dogs. As an introvert and something of a loner who also provided care for my mother before she did, there was a lot about this case that just struck close to home. Check up on your friends and family who have some kind of depression or are introverts. We may be resistant to spending a lot of time socializing but we still need to know we are valued. This case is heartbreaking, but the DA didn't have a case. I hope they find Marsha.

The prosecutors did the right thing by not moving forward with the case, because it's definitely best to attempt to strengthen their case and possibly move forward later.

She would have ABSOLUTELY taken her dogs. She would ABSOLUTELY have taken her mementos. Her husband ABSOLUTELY killed her. This is so sad. Incredibly sad. I hope she is with her mom and dad in heaven. Rest In Peace.

Donnie and his daughter live off Marsha's money. They definitely did not care for Marsha. Wait for the real judgement day. 😱.

I would start with a very careful eye on Marsha's parents' post-mortem exam results and even re-examine the parents bodies again. I don't trust this man.

I’m tackling the very long overdue task of clearing out our garage. Far too much junk and stuff; and it’s the peak of summer here in South Africa so I’m melting, but 48 Hours has fast become my favourite channel and I’m now binge-listening as I declutter. 🇿🇦❤🇺🇸

I could just slap him! I plead the fifth! This is disgusting and his daughter is part of this.

_Take a shot everytime Donnie says 'I plead the fifth'_ should be a new game.

She waited late in life to find a partner, and this was the beast she found. 🤯 Trust no one.

You really don’t see people go that above and beyond to help a friend. What a great person!

I'm so mad they couldn't get this guy!!! His daughter is in denial. No one leaves without her personal things, phone, brush, dogs her parents house they built for her. No bs.

The investigator saying, "Donnie failed the polygraph with flying colors," had me in splits!😂😂😂

NOTHING IN MY LIFE OR IN THIS WORLD WORLD WOULD EVER HAVE MADE ME LEAVE MY CATS BEHIND & UNLESS YOU HAVE PETS IT'S PROBABLY HARD FOR YOU TO 'GET' AND I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A FRIEND LIKE THE ONE WHO CARED ENOUGH TO REPORT MARSHA MISSING, GOD BLESS HER HEART.

Another wife killed by the despicable husband. She is gone and he doesn’t care or do anything about it. And he must have gained very much financially by her disappearance

This case absolutely breaks my heart. I feel this gentle soul was preyed upon by that evil man and his daughter. I pray justice is served one day for her and her family. God bless her family and those who loved her ❤

She didn’t willingly leave her house . That’s a lie . What animal lover leaves behind their babies . Her step daughter knows way more than she puts on . She knows Her dad Only wanted Marsha’s Money .

One thing which was missing from this story is what Donnie was doing before he zeroed in on and milked Marsha for all she was worth, then disposed of her literally and figuratively. I also find it extremely suspect that Marsha's parents died suddenly and so close together just after Donnie comes into the picture. Why would it be so much of a reach to think that Donnie killed Marsha's parents, and then Marsha all in order to get a hold of their money and property? With that said, if I were the DA in this community I would have been exhuming Marsha's parents' bodies and doing careful autopsies, as well as doing extensive background searches on both Donnie and his extremely creepy, smug daughter to see if any other suspicious deaths and or missing persons were associated with them over the years. Seriously, Donnie swoops in and soon after Marsha's parents end up dead with only a month between their deaths, and then Marsha turns up missing with not a single shred of evidence. It truly defies any randomness. Then Donnie handles law enforcement's interrogations like a pro, (like a seasoned veteran) as if he has had plenty of prior experience in this exact type of situation. The same could be said for his Elvira daughter, whose composure while being questioned on national TV looks like a walk in the park---also as if she has been in similar situations in her past. It's as if Donnie and his daughter watched the 1990 movie "Pacific Heights" and decided to mimic the plot in real life, i.e. researching and finding rich people to victimize. When I see cases like this one they seem all too well orchestrated to not have some sort of black ops funding behind them, and then some (like immunity from prosecution).

I think defense attorneys don’t believe what they are saying sometimes. How could they?

His daughter is so smug and cold hearted. She has no empathy whatsoever for Marsha or her family.

That defense attorney really irks me. I know he’s doing his job but he’s so indignant on his clients behalf that you’d think it happened to him.

*The Hair dresser is that friend you can count on to be there no matter what!!! You go girl!!!Marsha, is with you smiling saying THANK YOU 4 CARING ENOUGH 👌🙏🤍❤*

Thank goodness for Kelly! Hope I have a friend like her when I need one

Check for concrete work done at the daughter's house around that time. She seems cold. Said her stepmother wasnt "generous ".sound like she felt entitled to Marshas money.
