The Ohio murder mystery surrounding the brutal killings of Spencer Tepe and Monique Tepe in Columbus, Ohio, is growing more disturbing as new crime scene questions emerge. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the first court appearance of Michael McKee, Monique Tepe’s ex-husband and a Chicago surgeon, who was arraigned in Franklin County, Ohio, and indicted on charges of aggravated murder. Ashleigh revisits the chilling 911 call that first alerted police, examines what the crime scene may reveal about what happened inside the Tepe home, and speaks with forensic criminalologist Dr. Laura Pettler about what crime scene clues may tell investigators about motive, timing, and intent.

A Utah mother is accused of abducting her own four children and fleeing the country, triggering an international manhunt involving local police and federal authorities. Police and family members point to alarming TikTok videos in which she allegedly spoke about receiving dreams from God, warned of the “end times,” claimed Salt Lake City would be destroyed, referenced natural disasters, and urged others to “brace for the apocalypse.” 35-year-old Elleshia Anne Seymour is charged with four counts of custodial interference and removing a child from the state after investigators say she disappeared with her children on November 29, leaving behind an unlocked home in West Jordan, Utah. Police say Seymour shares custody with two fathers, neither of whom consented to any travel. The missing children are 11-year-old Landon Seymour, 8-year-old Levi Parker Seymour, 7-year-old Hazel Raye Seymour, and 3-year-old Jacob Kurt Brady. Court documents reveal that Seymour’s vehicle was found abandoned at Salt Lake City International Airport, and surveillance footage tracked her boarding a one-way international flight with all four children. Authorities later confirmed the family traveled through Europe and ultimately landed in Croatia.

Michael McKee, a former surgeon and the ex-husband of Monique Tepe, has been extradited back to Ohio after his arrest out of state. Prosecutors allege McKee secretly entered the Tepe home and carried out the execution-style murders of Monique Tepe and her husband, Spencer Tepe, in what authorities describe as a calculated and violent attack. Now jailed in Franklin County, McKee awaits his next court appearance as the case moves forward. But what really happens to a high-profile defendant once the cell door closes? In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield is joined by Larry Levine, founder of Wall Street Prison Consultants-- a former federal inmate who now advises white-collar criminals, celebrities, and high-profile defendants on surviving incarceration.
