As Alexis uncovered her father’s secrets, the truth came out. This once renowned doctor was found guilty of murdering her mother, Michele. We are ready to answer your questions – where is Alexis MacNeill today and what is she doing?


Who is Alexis MacNeill Somers?

At one time, Alexis went by the name of Alexis MacNeill and very proudly. She always looked up to her father as an extremely successful doctor. However, when she accused her father and he was found guilty of murdering her mom, Michele, Alexis dropped that name.

The tragic events took place in 2007 when Alexis’s father Dr. Martin MacNeill took her mother Michele’s life by drugging her and drowning her in a bathtub. After so many painful years and a conviction sentence, Dr. Martin MacNeill took his own life while in jail on April 9, 2017. Two days short of the 10 year annivers ary of his wife’s death.
