Autopsies for Spencer and Monique Tepe  show a much different scene of the murders than previously thought.  Early reports indicated Monique was shot once in the chest, and Spencer was shot more than once, with three shell casings found at the scene. In fact, the killer unloaded a full clip, 16 rounds, and both were shot in the head: Monique in her right cheek, and Spencer in his left ear. A total of 16 gunshot wounds are discovered. A standard magazine for a handgun holds 15 to 17 rounds, depending on the size of the bullet. Spencer and Monique likely died within "seconds to minutes" of being shot. The injuries suffered and the trajectories of bullets indicate some movement by Spencer and Monique; the range of fire is indeterminate, and there is no way to tell in which order the injuries are inflicted. Michael McKee, 39, arrested in the murders of his ex-wife and her new husband, is being held without bond in the Franklin County Jail. He pleaded not guilty to four counts of aggravated murder and one count of aggravated burglary. According to a newly unsealed affidavit, witnesses claimed McKee was abusive during his marriage to Monique and had threatened to kill her. Court documents indicate McKee had previously visited the couple's home on Dec. 6, 2025, while they were away. McKee, a vascular surgeon from Illinois, drove 900 miles to commit the murders. He was tracked through surveillance video, which showed a silver SUV. Police also reportedly found multiple weapons in his Chicago-area condo, with one being  connected to the crime scene. McKee faces a minimum of life in prison with parole eligibility after 32 years if convicted.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A 2020 email seems to indicate Jeffrey Epstein’s death was investigated as a murder long after it was publicly called a suicide. An Assistant U.S. Attorney from the Eastern District of New York sends an email to a redacted recipient, hoping to obtain a confidentiality agreement made with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in connection with the investigation of Epstein’s murder. The public was also shocked by a draft announcement of Epstein’s death—dated August 9th, 2019, the day BEFORE Epstein’s body was discovered. The DOJ claims the date is simply a typo.
