Unspeakable – Jaime and Sandra Melgar Case

Dateline NBC will air an episode, called “Unspeakable,” on Saturday, December 16, 2023, at 9:00 pm. The episode will delve into the case of Sandra Melgar, who was convicted of murdering her husband, Jaime Melgar, in 2017. Sandra has maintained her innocence, and her case has been the subject of ongoing scrutiny and debate.

Sandra Melgar was found guilty of first-degree murder for the death of her husband, which occurred on December 22, 2012, just one day before their 32nd wedding anniversary. The prosecution’s case was built on circumstantial evidence, with the claim that Sandra had a motive to commit the crime and had staged the scene to appear as a home invasion.

Despite her conviction, Sandra’s legal team has pointed out the lack of direct physical evidence linking her to the crime and inconsistencies in the prosecution’s narrative. Recent developments, including DNA evidence from a safe that did not match her husband’s DNA, have raised doubts about Sandra’s culpability and sparked renewed interest in the case.

The upcoming episode of Dateline NBC will reexamine the details of the case and offer a fresh perspective on the evidence and allegations surrounding Sandra Melgar’s conviction. The episode aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the case and the ongoing efforts to uncover the truth.
