What makes a family member turn killer? Three active cases are forcing that question into focus. Nick Reiner stands accused of stabbing his parents, director Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, to death at their Brentwood home. He has a documented history of schizoaffective disorder, eighteen rehab stays, and a 2020 mental health conservatorship. His attorney withdrew while insisting Nick is "not guilty of murder"—signaling an insanity defense. Paul Caneiro is on trial in New Jersey for the 2018 murders of his brother Keith, sister-in-law Jennifer, and their two children at the family's Colts Neck mansion. Prosecutors say financial desperation drove the killings after Keith discovered Paul stealing from their businesses. Testimony this week included the final phone call between the brothers and graphic details about the children's injuries. Michael McKee, a vascular surgeon whose medical license had expired, pleaded not guilty to four counts of aggravated murder in the shooting deaths of his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Dr. Spencer Tepe. Ballistic evidence allegedly ties a gun from McKee's property to the crime scene. All three cases involve family members. All three involve alleged warning signs that went unheeded. And all three leave the same question: what should families do when troubled becomes dangerous?#NickReiner #PaulCaneiro #MichaelMcKee #RobReiner #KeithCaneiro #SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #FamilyMurder #TrueCrimeToday #MurderTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This week we're covering three cases that force the same devastating question: how do families know when a troubled relative has become genuinely dangerous? Nick Reiner is charged with stabbing his parents, legendary director Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Singer Reiner, at their Brentwood home. His attorney withdrew while insisting Nick is "not guilty of murder"—signaling a likely insanity defense based on his documented schizoaffective disorder and years of erratic behavior. Paul Caneiro is on trial in New Jersey for the 2018 murders of his brother Keith, sister-in-law Jennifer, and their two children at the family's Colts Neck mansion. Prosecutors say financial desperation drove him to kill after Keith discovered he was stealing from their shared businesses. Jurors heard the final phone call between the brothers—Keith demanding account access hours before his death. And Michael McKee, a vascular surgeon, has pleaded not guilty to killing his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Dr. Spencer Tepe in Columbus. Police call it a "targeted" domestic violence attack, with ballistic evidence allegedly linking McKee's gun to the scene. Former FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke joins us to examine what the escalation patterns in these cases reveal—and what families should watch for when love and accommodation are no longer enough.#NickReiner #PaulCaneiro #MichaelMcKee #RobReiner #KeithCaneiro #MoniqueTepe #FamilyMurder #BehavioralAnalysis #TrueCrime #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!What if the "wicked" standing trial in God’s courtroom aren't the godless, but the religious? What if the prosecution’s case is built not on your sins of ignorance, but on your acts of hypocrisy? In this devotional on Psalm 50, we enter a divine lawsuit where God acts as the Judge, Witness, then Prosecutor. We move beyond the text to uncover the Hebrew context of the "wicked"—covenant members who recite God's statutes while secretly harboring deceit. We explore why God rejects the "cattle on a thousand hills" to demand something far more costly: a "sacrifice of thanksgiving." Jaime also shares a candid personal reflection on the specific accusation of slandering "your own mother's son," connecting it to the heartbreaking political and spiritual fractures we see in the world today. She challenges us to examine our own role in that division—whether we are building unity or "letting our mouths loose in evil." Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of tender hope. If you’ve been disheartened by discord among believers or caught in the trap of performative faith, this episode offers a path toward true integrity.

Three family murder cases, three critical developments, one live breakdown. Nick Reiner's arraignment in the stabbing deaths of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, has been pushed to February 23rd after attorney Alan Jackson withdrew while insisting his client is "not guilty of murder" under California law. Legal analysts expect an insanity plea based on Nick's schizoaffective disorder and 2020 conservatorship. We'll examine the behavioral warning signs that stretched back to childhood—and what FBI behavioral expert Robin Dreeke sees in the escalation pattern. In New Jersey, Paul Caneiro's murder trial has entered its second week with devastating testimony. Jurors heard Keith Caneiro's final phone call to his brother—"Give me the f***ing login, Paul!"—hours before he was shot five times outside his Colts Neck mansion. A detective testified that 8-year-old Sophia had a stab wound to her eye. The defense claims investigators ignored a third brother. And in Ohio, surgeon Michael McKee pleaded not guilty to murdering his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer Tepe. Prosecutors say ballistic evidence links a gun from McKee's property to shell casings at the scene. We're covering all three cases live with legal and behavioral analysis.#NickReiner #PaulCaneiro #MichaelMcKee #RobReiner #CaneirioTrial #TepeMurders #FamilyMurder #TrueCrimeLive #WeekInReview #HiddenKillersLiveJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The man accused of murdering Monique Tepe and her husband Dr. Spencer Tepe pleaded not guilty on January 23rd to four counts of aggravated murder. Michael McKee, 39, Monique's ex-husband, appeared via video before a Franklin County magistrate and waived bond. He remains in custody. Prosecutors allege McKee, a vascular surgeon, traveled from Illinois to Columbus and killed the couple in the early morning hours of December 30th. Spencer was shot multiple times. Monique sustained a gunshot wound to the chest. Their two children, ages four and one, were found inside the home unharmed. Columbus Police Chief Elaine Bryant has called this a "targeted" and "domestic violence related attack." Investigators say surveillance footage places McKee's vehicle at the scene before and after the killings. When multiple firearms were seized from his Rockford property, preliminary ballistic analysis linked one weapon to three 9mm shell casings recovered from the Tepe residence. The charges carry firearm specifications for using a gun and a suppressor. McKee is represented by Diane Menashe, who previously defended Dr. William Husel. Monique divorced McKee in 2017. She married Spencer in 2019. If convicted, McKee faces a minimum of life with parole eligibility after 32 years—or life without parole.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #TepeMurders #ColumbusOhio #AggravatedMurder #BallisticEvidence #DomesticViolenceHomicide #JusticeForTepe #TepeCaseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The last known phone call between Keith and Paul Caneiro was played for jurors in Monmouth County Superior Court—and it reveals a man at the end of his patience. "I need it—I need it. Give me the f***ing login, Paul!" Keith demanded, giving his brother until 8 p.m. to provide access to a trust account. By the next afternoon, Keith Caneiro, 50, was dead on the front lawn of his Colts Neck mansion with five gunshot wounds. Inside, his wife Jennifer, 45, and their children—11-year-old Jesse and 8-year-old Sophia—were found stabbed and burned. Paul Caneiro, 58, is on trial for four counts of first-degree murder. Prosecutors say greed drove Paul to slaughter his brother's family after Keith discovered he was stealing from their shared businesses. Testimony from a financial crimes detective revealed multiple transfers from Keith's trust account into Paul's personal account with no repayment. Hours before the Colts Neck fire was reported, Paul allegedly set fire to his own Ocean Township home while his wife and daughters slept inside. Evidence includes bloody clothing with DNA matching the child victims and a gun matched to the murder weapon. Paul's defense attorney claims investigators ignored a third brother. Paul has been in jail without bail since November 2018.#KeithCaneiro #PaulCaneiro #CaneirioTrial #ColtsNeckMurders #JenniferCaneiro #MansionMurders #MonmouthCountyTrial #TrueCrimeToday #FamilyMurder #JusticeForKeithJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Emmy winning actor and director Timothy Busfield is facing serious criminal charges in New Mexico following allegations involving two child actors he worked with on the Fox series The Cleaning Lady. Prosecutors have charged Busfield with two counts of criminal sexual misconduct against a minor and one count of child abuse. He has denied all allegations and maintains his innocence.According to court documents, investigators allege Busfield encouraged the twins to call him Uncle Tim, gave them gifts, and spent time with their family outside of filming. Prosecutors say he used moments of confusion on set to isolate the boys. One child reportedly disclosed that inappropriate contact began when he was seven years old, describing incidents that allegedly occurred on a bedroom set after filming paused. The second twin reported similar discomfort but said he did not speak up at the time.Authorities cite therapy notes, medical evaluations, behavioral changes, and witness statements as part of the evidence supporting the charges. Prosecutors have also referenced prior allegations spanning decades, though none previously resulted in criminal convictions.Busfield surrendered to authorities in January 2026 and was ordered held without bail. His defense team says the accusations are retaliatory after the children were written out of the show and claims he passed an independent polygraph test.As the case moves forward, the court will decide whether the evidence supports the charges. Until then, the allegations remain unproven, and the outcome could have major implications for accountability and child safety in the entertainment industry.

The testimony in Paul Caneiro's quadruple murder trial has turned graphic. A Colts Neck detective told jurors that when eight-year-old Sophia Caneiro's body was removed from the burned mansion, he noticed she had stab wounds—including one to her left eye. Sophia's father Keith, mother Jennifer, and 11-year-old brother Jesse were also found dead inside the home on November 20, 2018. Paul Caneiro, Keith's older brother, is charged with four counts of first-degree murder. Prosecutors say Paul shot Keith multiple times outside the mansion, then went inside and stabbed Jennifer and both children before setting the house on fire. Hours earlier, Paul allegedly set fire to his own Ocean Township home while his wife and daughters slept inside—a move prosecutors say was designed to make it look like the entire Caneiro family was being targeted. The motive, according to prosecutors: Keith had discovered Paul was stealing from their shared businesses and was preparing to cut him off from a $225,000 salary. Jurors heard the final phone calls between the brothers, including Keith demanding login credentials for a trust account. Paul's defense attorney says he's innocent and claims investigators never looked into a third Caneiro brother. Paul has been in jail without bail since his arrest the day after the murders—more than seven years ago.#CaneirioTrial #PaulCaneiro #KeithCaneiro #SophiaCaneiro #ColtsNeckMurders #MansionMurders #JenniferCaneiro #MonmouthCounty #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Michael McKee stood before a Franklin County magistrate on January 23rd and pleaded not guilty to four counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of Monique Tepe and Dr. Spencer Tepe. The 39-year-old vascular surgeon waived bond and remains in custody. His defense attorney, Diane Menashe—known for representing Dr. William Husel in the Mount Carmel deaths case—entered the plea on his behalf via video appearance. Prosecutors allege McKee traveled from Illinois to Columbus and killed his ex-wife and her husband in the early morning hours of December 30th while their two young children slept nearby. The children, ages four and one, were found unharmed but alone with their parents' bodies. Columbus police say they have surveillance footage placing McKee's vehicle at the scene before and after the killings, and preliminary ballistic analysis links a firearm seized from his property to shell casings recovered inside the home. The charges include firearm specifications for using a gun and a suppressor. McKee's medical license expired months before the killings. Monique divorced him in 2017 after less than two years of marriage. She and Spencer were days away from their fifth wedding anniversary. If convicted, McKee faces a minimum of life with parole eligibility after 32 years—or life without parole.#MichaelMcKee #TepeMurders #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #ColumbusOhio #AggravatedMurder #TrueCrimeLive #DomesticViolenceCase #HiddenKillersLive #JusticeForTepeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Week two of Paul Caneiro's murder trial has brought damning financial testimony and a defense theory that points at someone else entirely. A detective specializing in financial crimes testified about bank records showing transfers from Keith Caneiro's trust account into Paul's personal account—with no payments going back. Prosecutors say the theft totaled at least $75,000, and that Keith was preparing to cut Paul off from their shared businesses and his $225,000 salary. The night before the murders, Keith forwarded a company email stating Paul would no longer be paid. Paul Caneiro, 58, is charged with four counts of first-degree murder in the November 2018 deaths of his brother Keith, sister-in-law Jennifer, and their two children, 11-year-old Jesse and 8-year-old Sophia, at the family's Colts Neck mansion. Prosecutors say Paul shot Keith, stabbed the rest of the family, then set the house on fire. Evidence includes blood-stained clothing found at Paul's home with DNA matching his slain relatives, and a gun linked ballistically to the bullets that killed Keith. But defense attorney Monika Mastellone says investigators never looked at a third Caneiro brother, Cory, who also stood to benefit from the family's life insurance policy. Paul has maintained his innocence for more than seven years while awaiting trial.#PaulCaneiro #CaneirioTrial #ColtsNeckMansion #KeithCaneiro #JenniferCaneiro #MansionMurders #MonmouthCounty #FamilyAnnihilation #TrueCrimeLive #HiddenKillersLiveJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Breaking developments in the D4VD investigation. Neo Langston, the 23-year-old Twitch streamer known as NeoTheAsian, was arrested at his mother's Montana home Thursday and transported to Los Angeles. He's now in custody at LAPD's Metropolitan Detention Center on $60,000 bail, charged with felony failure to appear as a witness.This arrest comes as a grand jury continues hearing testimony in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The 15-year-old's dismembered body was found in D4VD's impounded Tesla last September. Prosecutors reportedly believe D4VD was involved and are pushing for murder charges. The grand jury is expected to continue through February 2026.Neo's arrest follows a pattern of witness problems. In December, prosecutor Beth Silverman had to threaten a body attachment order to force a female witness to testify after she failed to appear. D4VD's manager Robert Morgenroth testified for days and was overheard saying he didn't call police because his job was to keep the tour going.Investigators have also identified a second suspect who may have been present during a mysterious late-night trip D4VD allegedly took to Santa Barbara County last spring — a trip sources believe involved Celeste's body.D4VD has not been arrested or charged. Neo is charged only with failure to appear.

Week two of the Paul Caneiro trial delivered testimony that cuts to the heart of why prosecutors say two children had to die. Trust account expert Lazaro Cardenas explained to jurors that Keith Caneiro's $3 million life insurance policy was held in a trust where Paul was the trustee — and that trust would only benefit Paul if Keith, Jennifer, Sophia, and Jesse were all dead. Every single one of them. Prosecutors say this is why the children weren't spared.The jury also heard from Dennis Corpora, a neighbor who was awakened by gunshots around 3:20 AM on November 20th, 2018. His immediate reaction: "Someone just got whacked." He knew it was a pistol. He called police twice. By morning, Keith Caneiro was dead on his front lawn with five gunshot wounds. His wife and children were stabbed and left to die in a burning house.The defense is fighting back by pointing to the third Caneiro brother, Corey, who fled to Pennsylvania on the morning of the murders — before Keith's family had even been discovered. Corey was seen giving Paul money that morning. His wife contacted police instead of him. A civil lawsuit alleges he later maneuvered himself into control of the insurance proceeds. But prosecutors have something the defense can't explain away: DNA matching both children found on bloody jeans in Paul's basement, a murder weapon in Paul's house, and surveillance footage showing Paul disconnecting his cameras at 1:28 AM. Questions aren't evidence. And the evidence leads to Paul.#PaulCaneiro #CaneiroBrothersTrial #ColtsNeckMurders #CoreyCaneiro #NewJerseyTrial #CourtTV #TrueCrime #FamilyAnnihilator #MansionMurders #TheCrimeTimesJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Melissa Dawn Patton grew up in a deeply unstable environment and spent much of her life trying to build something safer for herself and her children. Quiet, shy, and trusting, she married young, became a mother almost immediately, and hoped that starting her own family would bring the stability she never had.Instead, her life became increasingly chaotic. By her early twenties, Melissa was working long hours and trying to leave a volatile, abusive marriage. In late 1998, she disappeared. What followed was years of silence.

Did you know that there are three different types of mindsets most of us fall back on? Listen in to find out which one you are (and how to shift it).

In July 2019, following his arrest on federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges, Jeffrey Epstein was formally ordered remanded to custody after a detention hearing before Judge Richard Berman. Prosecutors argued that Epstein's extraordinary wealth, private planes, offshore residences, and history of evading consequences made him an overwhelming flight risk. They also stressed that his release would pose a danger to the community, citing sworn testimony from multiple accusers and evidence that he had used money and influence to obstruct accountability in the past. Despite his defense offering an unprecedented bail package—including $100 million bond, house arrest under armed guard, and electronic monitoring—the court determined that no conditions could ensure his appearance in court or protect the public.Judge Berman's written order underscored the seriousness of the charges and the strength of the evidence, including testimony that Epstein had sexually abused underage girls and facilitated a broad trafficking network. The court rejected the defense's argument that strict bail conditions would suffice, ruling instead that the only way to guarantee community safety and secure Epstein's presence at trial was to deny release altogether. With that, Epstein was remanded to the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, where he would remain in custody until his death a month later.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In July 2019, following his arrest on federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges, Jeffrey Epstein was formally ordered remanded to custody after a detention hearing before Judge Richard Berman. Prosecutors argued that Epstein's extraordinary wealth, private planes, offshore residences, and history of evading consequences made him an overwhelming flight risk. They also stressed that his release would pose a danger to the community, citing sworn testimony from multiple accusers and evidence that he had used money and influence to obstruct accountability in the past.

The allegations that Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs is currently facing are not new to him.   In fact, he's been accused of things similar many times in the past.   Now, with the dam breaking and many accusers coming forward, for those of us who have followed the Jeffrey Epstein case, the similarities are very, very apparent and when looking at the way things have transpired since these most recent allegations have been made, it's not hard to follow the thread connecting these civil allegations and the current criminal ones.   In this episode we get a look at those allegations for ourselves and why this is looking like it's going to be a major RICO case against Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs.The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is a United States federal law enacted in 1970 to combat organized crime. RICO targets individuals or groups involved in illegal enterprises, known as "racketeering activities," such as bribery, extortion, fraud, and money laundering.Key features of RICO include:Criminalization of Racketeering Activity: RICO makes it a federal crime to participate in, or conspire to participate in, the affairs of an enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity.Enterprise: RICO applies to both legitimate and illegitimate enterprises, including corporations, partnerships, and other associations.Pattern of Racketeering Activity: A pattern is established by engaging in at least two instances of racketeering activity within ten years.Consequences: Individuals convicted under RICO can face substantial fines, forfeiture of assets, and imprisonment for up to 20 years per racketeering count, with potential enhancements for multiple offenses.RICO has been used extensively against organized crime syndicates, such as the Mafia, but it has also been employed in cases involving various other criminal enterprises, including drug trafficking, securities fraud, and corruption. Prosecutors often use RICO to dismantle criminal organizations by targeting not only the individuals directly involved in criminal activities but also those who facilitate or benefit from them, such as leaders, associates, and even legitimate businesses linked to the enterprise.To successfully prosecute under RICO, prosecutors must demonstrate the existence of an enterprise engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity, as well as the defendant's involvement in that enterprise and its illegal activities. RICO has been praised for its effectiveness in dismantling criminal organizations but has also faced criticism for its broad scope and potential for abuse in certain cases.In this episode, we get a look at the amended complaint that has been filed by Rodney Jones.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.616406.30.1.pdf (courtlistener.com)

The Brendan Banfield trial is building toward its climax, and day three delivered evidence that cuts through every defense narrative. Fairfax County detectives showed jurors what they found when they returned to the Banfield home eight months after Christine's death: fresh wood flooring where blood-soaked carpet used to be, new furniture throughout the master bedroom, and photographs of Brendan with au pair Juliana Peres Magalhães sitting on the nightstand where pictures of Brendan and Christine once belonged.Detective Terry Leach walked the jury through graphic crime scene photographs of Joseph Ryan's body—blood covering his face, hands, chest, and arms. The murder knife wasn't in Ryan's hand. It was hidden under blankets on the floor. That detail alone challenges the defense's theory that Ryan attacked Christine. DNA confirmed Christine's blood on Banfield's jeans. Fingerprints on the knife came back inconclusive. Prosecutors added that Banfield bought a gun weeks before the killings, took Juliana to a shooting range twice, and allegedly installed $30,000 in soundproof windows.The timeline crystallized with McDonald's surveillance footage: Banfield waiting in the parking lot, then exiting the bathroom at 7:37 AM with his phone pressed to his ear—the exact moment phone records show Juliana called to signal their target had arrived.But prosecutors face a complicated star witness. Juliana spent a year telling police the same story Brendan did before flipping to save herself. From jail, she wrote her mother that she was "heartbroken" for what she was doing to Brendan—that she still loved him. Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, who led the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program for 32 years, examines what genuine coercion looks like versus willing participation. The affair began six months before the killings. Juliana lived in the home, cared for the daughter, slept with the husband. Dreeke analyzes the power dynamics and tells you exactly what to watch for when she takes the stand.#BrendanBanfield #ChristineBanfield #JulianaMagalhaes #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimeToday #AuPairMurder #CrimeSceneEvidence #FBI #StarWitness #FairfaxMurderJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eight months after Christine Banfield was allegedly stabbed to death in her own bedroom, detectives returned to the home. What they found tells a story all by itself. The blood-soaked carpet? Gone. Fresh wood flooring in its place. New furniture throughout. And on the nightstand where wedding photos once sat? Pictures of Brendan Banfield with Juliana Peres Magalhães—the au pair who prosecutors say helped plan Christine's murder.Crime scene photographer Kenner Fortner showed the jury these before-and-after images during day three of testimony. Detective Terry Leach presented graphic photographs of Joseph Ryan's body—blood on his face, hands, chest, and arms. The murder knife wasn't in Ryan's hand as the defense claims it should have been. It was hidden under blankets on the floor. Christine's blood was found on Banfield's jeans. Prosecutors revealed he'd bought a gun weeks before the killings, took Juliana to a shooting range twice, and allegedly installed $30,000 worth of soundproof windows in the home.McDonald's surveillance captured the prosecution's timeline: Banfield in the parking lot at 7:37 AM, exiting the bathroom with his phone to his ear at the exact moment Juliana called. Her testimony says that call was the signal.But the central question remains: who manipulated whom? Robin Dreeke spent 32 years at the FBI, including leading the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program where he recruited spies and analyzed human behavior at the highest levels. He examines what Juliana's jailhouse letter reveals about her psychology—writing to her mother that she was "heartbroken" for what she was doing to Brendan, that she still loved him, but wanted to come home. Dreeke identifies the behavioral markers that distinguish genuine coercion from willing participation. The jury will watch Juliana testify against the man she allegedly loved.

The prosecution showed its hand on day three, and the evidence keeps stacking. Fairfax County detectives revealed what they found when they returned to the Banfield home eight months after Christine's death: the blood-soaked bedroom carpet replaced with fresh wood flooring, new furniture throughout, and photos of Brendan with Juliana Peres Magalhães now occupying the nightstand where his wedding pictures once sat. The visual tells a story no testimony needs to explain.Crime scene photographer Kenner Fortner documented the before-and-after transformation. Detective Terry Leach walked jurors through graphic photographs of Joseph Ryan's body in the bathroom—blood on his face, hands, chest, and arms. The murder knife was hidden under blankets on the floor, not in Ryan's hand as the defense theory requires. Christine's blood appeared on Banfield's jeans. Prosecutors revealed he'd purchased a gun weeks before the killings, took Juliana to a shooting range twice, and allegedly installed $30,000 worth of soundproof windows in the home.McDonald's surveillance footage locked in the timeline: Banfield at 7:37 AM, exiting the bathroom with his phone to his ear at the precise moment records show Juliana called. That call, according to her testimony, was the signal.But who was controlling whom in this alleged partnership? Robin Dreeke spent 32 years at the FBI, including leading the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program where he recruited spies and studied manipulation at the highest levels. Prosecutors say Banfield told Juliana it was "too late to back out" and handed her a gun that morning. But Juliana isn't a bystander—she allegedly helped plan and execute a double murder, then spent a year backing Brendan's story before flipping. From jail, she wrote her mother she was "heartbroken" for betraying him, that she still loved him. Dreeke breaks down what genuine coercion looks like, what her letter reveals about her psychology, and what behavioral markers to watch when she testifies against the man she claims manipulated her.#BrendanBanfield #ChristineBanfield #JulianaMagalhaes #RobinDreeke #FBI #BanfieldTrial #AuPairMurder #CrimeScenePhotos #Manipulation #DoubleHomicideJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger is serving four consecutive life sentences for murdering Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. The criminal case is closed. But the civil reckoning is just beginning—and it's not the only case demanding accountability this week. The families of Kohberger's victims have filed a 126-page wrongful death lawsuit against Washington State University, alleging the school ignored 13 formal complaints against Kohberger while he was employed as a teaching assistant. Women requested security escorts to avoid him. Staff created informal "911" alerts. A professor allegedly predicted he'd harass and abuse students. The families argue the murders were "foreseeable and preventable." Former prosecutor turned defense attorney Eric Faddis breaks down the Title IX violations, gross negligence claims, and what discovery will expose. Also in this episode: Faddis analyzes the Tepe double murder case in Columbus, where Dr. Michael McKee faces aggravated murder charges for allegedly killing his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Richard Tepe. Police say they found the murder weapon in McKee's apartment. His alibi reportedly failed. Faddis examines both the prosecution's strategy and where the defense will attack. Two cases. Criminal and civil accountability.

A complete psychological examination of the Tepe murder case — perpetrator, victim, and aftermath.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott brings over thirty years of clinical experience to analyze every dimension of this devastating case. She's worked in forensic settings, domestic violence programs, and trauma recovery. She's the author of "The Minds of Mass Killers." And she's a survivor of domestic abuse herself.We examine the alleged perpetrator psychology. Michael McKee apparently couldn't let go for eight years after a seven-month relationship. He never remarried. Prosecutors allege he drove six hours, entered the Tepe home without forced entry, shot both victims at 3:52 AM, and drove back. What does the wound collector profile tell us? How do high-functioning individuals compartmentalize obsession? What allegedly triggered action after years of fixation?We explore the victim experience. Monique Tepe knew she was in danger. Family says she talked about being terrified for years. But she never filed a police report. Why don't victims engage systems? What is coercive control? What did she carry every day while building what looked like a happy life?And we confront the aftermath. Two children orphaned. Over a thousand at the funeral. And the devastating truth that Monique did everything right — left fast, told people, rebuilt her life — and it wasn't enough. What could she have done differently? The honest answer might be nothing.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #TepeMurders #ShavaunScott #TrueCrimeToday #DomesticViolence #ForensicPsychology #WoundCollector #CoerciveControlLink to Shavaun Scott's Substack Discussing Dangerous Ex's:https://open.substack.com/pub/shavaun/p/when-leaving-is-the-most-dangerous?r=1fklc&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=trueJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Monique Tepe and Richard Tepe were shot to death in their Columbus home while their children slept nearby. Eleven days later, police say they found the murder weapon in the Chicago apartment of Monique's ex-husband—Dr. Michael McKee. Now McKee faces two counts of aggravated murder, and prosecutors appear to be building a case for premeditated execution. But how do you prove premeditation when the divorce happened eight years before the killings? When there are no eyewitnesses? When the defendant is a board-certified surgeon with no criminal history who presents well in front of a jury? Today on True Crime Today, former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down exactly what the state needs to establish to convict Michael McKee. Faddis worked first-degree murder cases in the Special Victims Unit and has tried over 45 jury trials—he knows how prosecutors think and what evidence they prioritize. We're examining the forensic ballistics, McKee's alleged false alibi, the reported stalking behavior days before the murders, and the family testimony describing a pattern of emotional abuse with no police reports to back it up. The prosecution's theory is coming into focus. Eric Faddis shows us how they'll present it to a jury and what could make or break this case.#TepeMurders #MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #RichardTepe #TrueCrimeToday #EricFaddis #Premeditation #AggravatedMurder #OhioMurder #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Harry Lidsky, Digital Forensic Examiner, testified today in the Brendan Banfield murder trial. Banfield, a former IRS agent, is charged with four counts of aggravated murder in the February 2023 deaths of his wife Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan at their Herndon, Virginia home.Prosecutors allege Banfield plotted the killings with the family's Brazilian au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, with whom he was having an affair. Magalhães has pleaded guilty to manslaughter and is expected to testify against Banfield. The defense maintains digital evidence does not support the state's catfishing theory.#BrendanBanfield #AuPairAffair #MurderTrial #TrueCrime #Testimony #ChristineBanfield #JosephRyan #FairfaxCounty #HiddenKillers #BreakingJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Before Michael McKee invoked his right to remain silent, he allegedly gave police a bogus alibi. That single decision may haunt him for the rest of his life. McKee, a Chicago vascular surgeon, is charged with aggravated murder in the shooting deaths of his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Richard Tepe at their Columbus home. Police say the murder weapon was recovered from McKee's apartment nearly two weeks after the killings. But it's not just forensic evidence prosecutors will weaponize—it's what McKee reportedly said before he stopped talking. Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis has built cases exactly like this one. He knows how prosecutors turn a defendant's own words into the most damaging evidence at trial. In this Hidden Killers interview, Faddis explains the legal mechanics of the McKee prosecution: why charges were upgraded to aggravated murder, how a contradictory alibi gets presented to a jury, and what investigators look for when establishing premeditation across an eight-year timeline. We examine the family testimony alleging emotional abuse, the reported stalking behavior days before the murders, and the challenge of prosecuting a defendant with no criminal record who presents as educated and successful. The prosecution has a story to tell about the Tepe murders. Eric Faddis shows us how they'll tell it.#MichaelMcKee #TepeMurders #MoniqueTepe #RichardTepe #HiddenKillers #EricFaddis #AggravatedMurder #OhioMurder #TrueCrimePodcast #FalseAlibiJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The perpetrator psychology. The victim experience. The shattered aftermath. One complete breakdown.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott brings over thirty years of experience in forensic settings, domestic violence work, and trauma recovery to examine every dimension of the Tepe murder case. She's the author of "The Minds of Mass Killers" — and she's a survivor herself.What allegedly happens inside someone who can't let go for eight years after a seven-month relationship? Michael McKee apparently never remarried. Prosecutors say he drove six hours, entered without forced entry, killed Monique and Spencer at 3:52 AM, and drove back. We examine the wound collector profile, the compartmentalized obsession, the internal narrative that allegedly justified years of fixation.Why didn't Monique report? Family says she talked about being terrified for eight years. She told people about the death threats. But there were no police reports, no restraining orders. We explore coercive control — what Laura Richards calls "murder in slow motion" — and why victims don't engage systems that consistently fail them.And the aftermath: two children orphaned, a community in grief, and the devastating reality that Monique did everything we tell victims to do. She recognized the danger. She left fast. She told people. She rebuilt her life. It wasn't enough. What could she have done differently? Maybe nothing. And that says everything about how broken the system is.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #ShavaunScott #TrueCrime #DomesticViolence #WoundCollector #CoerciveControl #HiddenKillers #PsychologyLink to Shavaun Scott's Substack Discussing Dangerous Ex's:https://open.substack.com/pub/shavaun/p/when-leaving-is-the-most-dangerous?r=1fklc&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=trueJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Michael McKee allegedly drove 300 miles to kill his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Richard Tepe while their children slept in the house. Police say they found the murder weapon in his Chicago penthouse eleven days later. He's now facing two counts of aggravated murder in Ohio—a state that still has the death penalty. Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us to break down what the state needs to prove and how they plan to prove it. Faddis spent years in the Special Victims Unit prosecuting first-degree murder cases and has tried over 45 jury trials. He understands exactly how prosecutors build a case against a defendant with no criminal record, no eyewitnesses, and a professional reputation that makes him sympathetic to jurors. We're examining the forensic evidence, the alleged ballistic match, McKee's reported false alibi, and the family testimony describing years of emotional abuse. The marriage lasted seven months. The divorce was finalized in 2017. The murders happened in 2025. How do prosecutors bridge an eight-year gap to establish motive and premeditation? What role does the alleged stalking behavior play in proving this was planned? And what does McKee's defense team have to work with? Eric Faddis breaks it all down live.#TepeMurders #MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #RichardTepe #HiddenKillersLive #EricFaddis #AggravatedMurder #ColumbusOhio #TrueCrimeLive #MurderTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
