Reexamine mysterious death of eye doctor's first wife after he is charged with murdering girlfriend

Charges brought against a Chicago eye doctor in the stabbing death of his girlfriend are prompting police to reexamine the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of his first wife nearly nine years ago.

Anthony Prate, 55, was charged with first-degree murder in the Nov. 23 death of his girlfriend Malgorzata Daniel, a 48-year-old nurse who authorities said was stabbed 30 times in her home. Prate, who called 911 after calling three family members, told authorities that he and Daniel got into an argument following a dinner party with neighbors.

"My girlfriend and I had a fight. She stabbed me with a knife, and I stabbed her back, and I think she's gravely wounded," Prate told the dispatcher, adding, "I'm wounded too."

When the police arrived, Prate was taken into custody and is currently being held in Cooke County Jail without bond.

Daniel's grisly death has put the spotlight back on the bizarre events leading up to the death of Prate's first wife, Bridget, who died in 2011.
