Martin MacNeill, 56, was finally arrested and charged with first-degree murder on August 24, 2012.
After collecting new forensic expert opinions and a mountain of circumstantial evidence, authorities now allege he drugged then drowned his wife to continue an affair he was having with Gypsy Willis.
MacNeill's daughters Alexis and Rachel vow not to rest until their father is held accountable for their mother's murder and any other crimes he committed. They say they never knew the man who pretended to be their father in their devoutly Mormon family and that their lives have become a horror film.
Linda Cluff is also a strong advocate seeking justice for her sister Michele.
