Bio

Matthew Quintiliano was a man from Stratford, Connecticut. He worked as a police officer for 14 years. He spent a significant part of his career serving in the police department in Stratford.

In May 1975, things changed for Matthew. He confronted his first wife outside the hospital where she worked. In a moment of violence, he shot her multiple times. This act led to his arrest and the loss of his job. After spending time in custody, judges found him not guilty due to insanity.

Matthew was treated in a psychiatric hospital for three months. Doctors believed he was no longer a danger to himself or others, and they released him. He later remarried and tried to start a new life.

By 1983, problems returned for Matthew. He received divorce papers from his second wife on February 11. Just one day later, he shot and killed her. He was arrested again on February 16. This time, psychiatrists determined that he was sane, leading to his conviction and confinement in prison.

After the shooting, he was arrested and fired from his job as a police officer. Quintiliano spent three years in custody. A panel of judges found him innocent by reason of insanity.

In 1983, Quintiliano remarried. However, his second marriage quickly ended when he received divorce papers on February 11. The next day, he shot and killed his second wife. He was arrested on February 16 and faced charges of first-degree murder again. He was held on a bond of $750,000. Ultimately, he was indicted and convicted for this crime. Unlike his previous case, psychiatrists agreed this time that he was sane. He was then confined to prison.
