Kelly says on August 2, 2011, he found his wife of more than five years, Margaret, dead in their bathtub. Police ruled her death an accidental drowning -- but Margaret’s friends, Nancy and Christine, say they think she was murdered by Kelly, and they want the investigation into Margaret’s death reopened. Kelly admits his marriage wasn’t perfect but insists he did not murder his wife. What does he claim happened on the day Margaret died? Kelly says Nancy and Christine have been harassing him, and he believes they even hired someone to throw a caustic substance in his face. Sparks fly when the women face Kelly for the first time in nearly two years on Dr. Phil's stage. Do Nancy and Christine have any evidence that Margaret’s death was suspicious? And, hear from homicidal-drowning investigator Andrea Zaferes, who was contacted by Margaret’s friends -- Does she believe this was an accidental drowning or something more sinister? Plus, Kelly agrees to take a polygraph test. Don’t miss the results!

Find out what happened on the show.

What a coincidence that his wife "Accidentally" killed herself to make the way clear for him to shack up with his affair on the side. What a coincidence that he brought his girlfriend to the house the same day she died. What a coincidence he started selling her stuff 3 days after she died.

People like him should get nothing from a dead partner regardless of whether they are guilty of murder or not. He was having an affair behind her back, he admitted it, she knew it i.e. he deserves no proceeds from her death at all since he did not keep his marriage vows. Obviously another parasite using someone for money and a free ride. Those types are the walking dead and they don't even know it. No feelings in that one i.e. no life.

I agree, except they need to find other ways to express their feelings because his type easily resorts to the "victim stance". He's a manipulative impulse driven creature and not a human at all. They need to think like a lizard to see how he thinks.

I agree.  He was bound to kill a woman eventually.  Dr Phil read off his list of abuse.  It was like my grocery list.  I found it sadly funny that one of the charges Phil read said you slapped her, kicker, her, threw her against the wall and punched her in the face....yet his responsze was, I didn't punch her in the face, like that vindicated him somehow.  Like, the throwing her around and kicking her is ok, as long as you dont close your fist...

I dont blame the 2 friends for being pushy.  this was the first time in 2 years since they've been able to confront him.  His behaviors all say he is doing something not right.  Moving out his wifes things the next day, and refusing to get her out of the tub?  I wonder how come a tox screen was never done or how come we never heard how she died?  If she was killed outside the tub and dumped in the tub you could tell that by the amount of water in her lungs.  Dead people don't breathe in water.  that is forenscic science 101.  Was there an autopsy done?  My gues is no, if the cops ruled it a drowning the only one to call for an autopsy would be the hubby and if he killed her thats the last thing he'd order

It seems he has some unanswer questions that I think he should answer.  You are right about Jack DeMarco, I don't think he has passed anyone on the show with good numbers, just saying.

I confess I didn't ike Kelly - not sure I'd want to be a friend.  This, however, doesn't make him a killer.  Let the Law enforcement people do there job.  I have absolutely no faith in the "Quackery" that Jack DeMarco tries to pass off as science (the polygraph) either - there are VERY GOOD reasons the results are not admissable in a court of law.  As for the two harpies who were supposedly best friends of the deceased - I think the appropriate term would be, "methinks they do protest too much".  Seeing their shrill performance I'm inclined to believe Kelly that they paid someone to hurt him - their credibility is lower than his for sure.


Bottom line - I'm not at all sure about guilt - leave it to the police!

Watching the show all I could seem to focus on was this guy's body language.  He was physically turning his body away from Dr. Phil, and he would not look him in the eye when answering his questions.  He was constantly figiting, covering his mouth (as if to hide lies coming out of it), blinking too much, everything.  Okay, that might sound like I watch too much TV, which could be true, but I have also survived an abusive husband who nearly killed me.  The police told me to get out because if I didn't, they would be coming to take away my body and could not help me at that point.  This guy with his excuses and shifting the blame to others and trying to make himself look like the victim really reminded me of my ex.  He is as guilty as can be.  Why would she take a bath that day when she never took baths?  Why use the bath that they never used as a bathroom?  Why wouldn't he try to pull her out of the water in case she was just unconscious no matter what color the water was?  If someone you love is drowning, or drowned, or even obviously dead, your immediate reaction is to try to save them!  That's why we have trouble accepting the death of a loved one even after they are pronounced as deceased by an official. 

This man is a complete narcissist and really thinks he is smarter than everyone else.  He thought he could fool the lie detector test.  He thinks he can fool all of us.  I really hope that the officials in the area where the death occurred will humble themselves and take a second look at this case and reopen it, maybe even have someone impartial from another county come in and investigate.  This woman needs to be put to rest and until the truth comes out, her friends will not give up.  If I were an official who had worked the case and determined the death to be accidental, I would be glad to accept the possibility that I could have been wrong and have someone else take another look at the case.  I'd rather be proven wrong than have someone get away with murder and potentially claim another life in the future.  This man is an abuser, he is a narcissist, and I'll bet anything he is a murderer.  Please get this case reopened!  Peggy's life deserves that the truth be told!

It looked to me that those friends of Margaret were frustrated because her death was never investigated and he has gotten away with murder so far.  I saw Kelly interrupt and screver whenever they said anything, yet he got the stage for the entire first segment, uninterrupted.  That might make me a bit "obnoxious" too.

Go on the Internet ant Google "Acid Attack", look to see what a caustic solucould would have done rachis face. If it was a caustic solution, he would have had severe or permanent physical injuries to his face.  He had a red eyeball and a few red dots on his face.  He even said that the paramedic said it was Hot Chocolate.
