Podcast appearances and mentions of Chris Watts

Michael McKee entered a not guilty plea to two counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of Spencer and Monique Tepe. On paper, this might seem routine — defendants plead not guilty every day. But when you look at what investigators say they have, the psychology behind that plea becomes the story.According to court documents: surveillance footage tracking McKee's vehicle arriving in Columbus before the murders and leaving after. A firearm recovered from his Chicago condo that police say matches crime scene evidence. A cell phone that showed zero activity during the exact hours prosecutors allege the Tepes were killed. Footage from weeks earlier reportedly showing McKee in the Tepes' yard while they attended the Big Ten Championship. And witness statements describing years of alleged threats — including that he could "kill her at any time."So why fight?Today we examine the "game player" psychology — a pattern seen in defendants like Scott Peterson, Chris Watts, and Ted Bundy who faced crushing evidence but approached their trials as competitions rather than reckonings. For these defendants, other people were never fully real. The courtroom isn't punishment. It's the final level.If McKee fits this profile, his not guilty plea isn't denial. It's the only move left for someone who allegedly spent years believing he was smarter than every system designed to stop him.The trial will determine guilt or innocence. But the psychology may have been visible all along.McKee is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.#TrueCrimeToday #MichaelMcKee #TepeHomicide #SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #NotGuiltyPlea #CriminalPsychology #ColumbusOhio #AggravatedMurder #DomesticViolenceJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/​Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Michael McKee didn't negotiate. He didn't collapse. With surveillance footage, a ballistics match, and years of documented threats on the table, he pleaded not guilty and waived his bail hearing while reserving the right to revisit it. That's a chess move from a defendant who apparently thinks he can win.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott — author of "The Minds of Mass Killers" — has spent three decades studying violent offenders. She explains the psychology of defendants who refuse to fold. Ted Bundy represented himself. Scott Peterson watched his trial like it was happening to someone else. Chris Watts tried to manipulate homicide detectives while his family's bodies were still being recovered. These aren't isolated behaviors — they're patterns.What is narcissistic grandiosity and where does it come from? Is it developed or innate? McKee completed over a decade of elite medical training as a surgeon. Scott analyzes whether that professional background — the ability to compartmentalize, to view complex situations as problems to be solved, to operate with precision under extreme pressure — potentially feeds into the kind of detachment we see in certain courtroom defendants. For someone like this, what does "winning" even mean if conviction is likely? And as this case moves toward trial, what courtroom behaviors would confirm we're dealing with this psychological profile?#MichaelMcKee #TrueCrimeToday #ShavaunScott #NotGuiltyPlea #TedBundy #ScottPeterson #ChrisWatts #NarcissisticGrandiosity #TepeMurders #ForensicPsychologyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Michael McKee faces two counts of aggravated murder for the shooting deaths of Spencer and Monique Tepe. The evidence against him — according to court filings and police statements — includes surveillance footage, ballistics evidence, a cell phone that went dark during the murder window, and years of documented threats against his ex-wife Monique.He pleaded not guilty.This episode explores a psychological pattern that emerges in cases where evidence is overwhelming but defendants refuse to fold. Forensic psychologists call it narcissistic grandiosity with antisocial features. We call it the game player. These are defendants who view prosecution not as consequence but as competition — the final arena to prove they're the smartest person in the room.We examine the parallels to Scott Peterson's detached courtroom demeanor, Chris Watts treating investigators like marks he could con, and Ted Bundy transforming his trial into performance art. The common thread: a fundamental inability to view other people as fully real. Victims become obstacles. Murder becomes a move. Trial becomes the championship round.According to the unsealed affidavit, McKee allegedly told Monique he could "kill her at any time," that he would "find her and buy the house next to her," and that she would "always be his wife." If prosecutors' allegations are accurate, the game started long before December 30th, 2025.The same psychology that allows someone to treat their murder trial as a puzzle may be the same psychology that allowed them to allegedly commit the crime.McKee is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Surveillance footage placing him at the scene. A NIBIN ballistics match. A cell phone that went dark during the murder window. Years of documented threats against his ex-wife. Michael McKee looked at the state's case and pleaded not guilty anyway. He waived his bail hearing but reserved the right to revisit it later — a calculated procedural move, not a white flag.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott wrote "The Minds of Mass Killers" and has spent thirty years evaluating violent offenders in forensic settings. She explains why certain defendants refuse to fold even when the evidence looks insurmountable. There's a profile. Ted Bundy represented himself and cross-examined witnesses about his own alleged murders. Scott Peterson watched his trial like it was happening to someone else. Chris Watts tried to manipulate homicide detectives while his family's bodies were still being recovered. The courtroom detachment isn't random — it's diagnostic.McKee is a vascular surgeon. Over a decade of elite medical training. He's operated on human bodies under extreme pressure, making life-and-death decisions with precision. Scott analyzes whether that professional identity feeds into the compartmentalization required to sit calmly while facing aggravated murder charges. What is narcissistic grandiosity and where does it come from? For someone like this, what does "winning" even mean? And the theory that won't go away: the detachment that allows someone to appear unaffected at trial may be the same mechanism that allegedly let them pull the trigger.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #HiddenKillersLive #ShavaunScott #NotGuiltyPlea #TedBundy #ChrisWatts #NarcissisticGrandiosity #TepeMurdersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

You ever watch an old interview and feel your stomach drop? At the time it aired, everyone laughed, everyone clapped, everyone moved on. But years later, knowing what we know now, it hits very different. Well, we want to talk about interviews that have aged like milk—moments that were waved off as jokes, charisma, or just a different era, but now read like warning flares. Sean Connery casually joking about hitting women. Cris Collinsworth bragging on air about chasing underage girls and nobody blinking. Tom Cruise grinning through interviews that feel less charming and now more unsettling. And then there are interviews that go from awkward to outright chilling: game show appearances from Randy Alcala, a serial killer with a smile; interviews with Chris Watts calmly playing the role of concerned husband while hiding literal bodies and skeletons in his proverbial closet. These aren't just cringy clips. They're reminders of how often evil doesn't look evil—it looks confident, funny, successful, and even safe.   Follow Good Fight Ministries on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goodfightministries  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodfightministries  Twitter/X: https://www.twitter.com/goodfightmin  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@goodfightministries  Rumble: https://rumble.com/GoodFightMinistries  Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodfight  East Coast Men's Retreat 2026 https://tinyurl.com/MensRetreatWinter2026  The Kinsey Syndrome https://www.goodfight.org/product/the-kinsey-syndrome/  Marvel & DC's War on God: Doctor Strange, Aleister Crowley and the Multiverse of Satanism https://tinyurl.com/MarvelDCWar2

This week, we are sharing an episode from one of our favorite pod-friends: Ani from Audibly Haunted.

The conversation then shifts to the paranormal elements that emerged following the tragedy, including eerie occurrences in the Watts home and Chris's haunting experiences in prison. The episode concludes with reflections on the lasting impact of this horrific crime and the emotional echoes it leaves behind.  

Before the families could speak, Hollywood did. In a stunning October 2025 announcement, Lifetime confirmed that actor Miles Merry will play Bryan Kohberger in an upcoming dramatization of the Idaho student murders. The film, part of the network's long-running “Ripped From the Headlines” series, is already deep in pre-production — casting finalized, production crew set, and a release date likely locked. But the families of the victims? They were never asked. Never consulted. Never warned. This is Lifetime's formula: turn tragedy into prime-time content. They did it with Amanda Knox, Gabby Petito, and Chris Watts — all criticized for exploiting real people's pain. But the Kohberger case stands apart. There was no trial, no testimony, no motive revealed under oath. Kohberger pled guilty in July 2025, receiving four consecutive life sentences without parole. The record is silent — and into that silence, Lifetime will now write fiction. That's what makes this story so unsettling. Without verified facts, screenwriters must invent them: imagined conflicts, fictional flashbacks, emotional arcs, and even dialogue for the killer himself. None of it comes from evidence or sworn testimony — yet millions will watch and remember those scenes as if they were true. Alivea Goncalves, sister of victim Kaylee Goncalves, called it “really angering.” The families weren't informed. They learned from the headlines. To them, the victims are not characters, and their grief is not a plotline. This isn't about one network being evil — it's about the moral cost of entertainment that blurs the line between truth and storytelling. Because when a true crime story gets rewritten for television, it doesn't just distort memory — it replaces it. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #LifetimeMovie #TrueCrimeNews #KayleeGoncalves #XanaKernodle #MadisonMogen #EthanChapin #TrueCrimeCommunity #JusticeForTheVictims Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Get a box of tissues, and your strongest emotional armor, because today we're getting a broader understanding of one the darkest kinds of killer- the family annihilator. Often pretending to be the perfect dad, the perfect spouse until they lose control and everyone pays the price. Chris Watts, Josh Powell, John List & the more recent horrifying crimes that continue. Why does this happen? How are there more annihilators than school shooters? And how do we change a system that blames women and children for their own deaths?

But behind the tears was a darker truth—parents who murdered their own children, then turned their grief into theater for the cameras.In this episode, we uncover four of the most shocking cases where killers attempted to weaponize the media to hide their crimes: Jake and Rebecca Haro in California, Diane Downs in Oregon, Charles Stuart in Boston, and Chris Watts in Colorado.Each story reveals how easily the performance of grief can sway public opinion—and how devastating the fallout can be when lies unravel in plain sight.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why Did Austin Drummond Spare The Baby? The Chilling Choice That Shook Tennessee On July 29, 2025, a baby was found abandoned on a stranger's front porch in rural Tennessee. Hours later, police made a horrific discovery—four members of the child's family were found murdered. The suspect? 28-year-old Austin Drummond, a man with close ties to the victims. He allegedly slaughtered James Wilson (21), Adrianna Williams (20), Cortney Rose (38), and Braydon Williams (15)—then took the surviving infant and left her alone in a car seat miles away. Why didn't he kill the baby? This question has haunted the public, police, and psychologists ever since. Was it a moment of mercy? Or something far more twisted? In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down the psychological horror of “selective violence,” where killers choose their victims—and make calculated decisions about who lives and why. We explore theories around survivor guilt, the trauma the child will carry, and how this disturbing case echoes patterns seen in other family annihilation crimes, including the infamous Chris Watts murders. Austin Drummond now faces four counts of first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping, and multiple weapons charges. And three other individuals—Giovonte Thomas, Tanaka Brown, and Dearrah Sanders—have been charged as accessories after the fact for allegedly helping Drummond evade capture. The details are heartbreaking. The questions are terrifying. And the reality is this: a child will grow up knowing that she was spared by someone who erased her entire family. This is the story of what happened, what it means, and why the silence surrounding that baby's survival is the loudest part of all.

This is an interesting story due to it crossing genres. After our standard rambling we talk a bit about the Watts Family murders, the horrible crime Chris Watts brought upon his wife and daughters, this then leads into the Watts Family home where a few police body camera footage files have been released containing plenty of strange occurrences including several EVP's seemingly directly from or tied to the Watts family.

Gary Colton joins Nules once again on the podcast, this time to discuss the psychology of serial killers and recent true crime cases. They explore the "Dark Triad" personality traits common in serial killers, the motivations behind familicide, and the impact of social media on high-profile cases like Chris Watts. Gary offers insights into the mentality of killers, the role of childhood experiences, and society's fascination with true crime. The conversation covers recent Irish cases, including the Michael Gaine and Tina Satchwell cases, as well as international incidents. Gary's expertise in psychology provides a deep dive into the complexities of the criminal mind and the factors that contribute to extreme acts of violence.Back Gary's fantastic latest project “How it Falls Apart” on Kickstarter.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/garycolton/how-it-falls-apart-an-immersive-dystopian-thriller/descriptionWith its blend of psychological suspense, social commentary, and technological angst, How It Falls Apart explores the mechanics of totalitarianism and the catastrophic consequences of artificial intelligence advancing beyond our control.

Often pretending to be the perfect dad, the perfect spouse until they lose control and everyone pays the price. Chris Watts, Josh Powell, John List & the more recent horrifying crimes that continue.

This week Bob stated the second recorded police interrogation of Casey Anthony. This one is complicated because Anthony was acquitted for the murder of her daughter Caylee. However in later interviews Casey revealed that she at the very least knew a lot more about her daughter's death than she lets on in this interview. You're going to hear the same steps of the Reid Technique applied to Anthony with very different responses than what we heart from Richard Allen or Chris Watts.  Today's Sponsors: 1st Phorm – Get free shipping on all orders over $75, and new customers get the 1st Phorm app for free for 30 days with purchase.  You'll receive an email with the app offer after your purchase.  Get started on your fitness goals today at 1stPhorm.com/truth The majority of the funding of our work comes directly from listeners, through our Patreon community.  To join Patreon, click THIS LINK.  At the $5/month level you'll get access to lots of Patreon Only BONUS EPISODES, Ad Free versions of all episodes, an hour of Patreon Exclusive video content every week, and our new weekly podcast “Pre-Game”, which drops every Wednesday.  Not to mention early access to some episodes and the ability to watch and participate in interviews live.

Crazy Chris Watts Blames Blames Wife, Mistress, and “Temptation” For Taking Out His Family Convicted family murderer Chris Watts continues to deflect blame for the brutal 2018 killings of his pregnant wife and two young daughters, according to disturbing jailhouse letters obtained by Knewz.com. In a series of handwritten messages from behind bars, Watts shifts responsibility to his late wife Shanann, his former mistress, and even spiritual temptation—while continuing to describe himself as a "good man." Watts, now 39, is serving multiple life sentences without parole at Dodge Correctional Institution in Wisconsin for the murders of Shanann Watts, 34, and their daughters, Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3. The horrific killings gripped the nation in August 2018, when Watts initially pretended to be a grieving husband and father during media appearances, only to later confess to the crimes after being confronted with damning evidence. But in letters written to acquaintances, friends, and even addressed to God, Watts portrays himself as a victim of circumstances. He calls Shanann a “control freak” who, he claims, ignored his emotional needs and drove him into an affair with co-worker Nichol Kessinger. Kessinger is also vilified in the letters, which Watts uses to describe her as a “harlot” and “evil woman” who lured him with “flattering speech” and “lust in her eyes and flesh.” Despite these deflections, Watts offers little genuine remorse, even referring to himself as “still a good man” led astray. A source close to the case called the letters "a masterclass in manipulation, self-pity, and blame-shifting." “Instead of owning the unimaginable crimes he committed, Watts casts himself as a weak, misguided soul corrupted by others,” the source said. “Chris Watts is not a victim. He is a calculating killer who refuses to take full responsibility—even now.” Watts' deception began almost immediately after the murders. On the day his family was reported missing, he gave emotional interviews on local news, pleading for their safe return. Behind the scenes, however, law enforcement uncovered surveillance footage of him loading his family's bodies into his truck. He later confessed that, in the early hours of August 13, 2018, he strangled Shanann in their home while she was still pregnant with their son. He then drove their daughters to the oil site where he worked, smothering each one before hiding their bodies in oil tanks and burying Shanann nearby. Watts avoided the death penalty by pleading guilty to five counts of first-degree murder on November 6, 2018. He was sentenced to five life sentences, three to be served consecutively and two concurrently, along with additional time for unlawful termination of a pregnancy and tampering with a deceased body. Despite his continued attempts to revise history and cast blame on others, legal experts and observers say Watts' actions—and his words—continue to reveal a deeply narcissistic and remorseless individual. “He wants the world to see him as someone who was cornered,” the insider added. “But the truth is far more horrifying—he planned this, carried it out, and now, even years later, he's trying to rewrite the story.” Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872
