• LIVE: Monique Tepe & Michael McKee Evidence Plus Brendan Banfield Trial — Full Breakdown With Coffindaffer
    Jan 21 2026

    We're live with former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer for an extended deep dive into three major cases. We start with the investigation into Dr. Michael McKee, the Chicago surgeon charged with murdering his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer. The ballistics match is confirmed. Surveillance places his vehicle at the scene. Police say he's the hooded figure in that alley at 3:52 AM. But how did he allegedly get inside with no forced entry? And why would someone with his training keep the murder weapon in his apartment for eleven days? Then we examine the psychology of the eight-year grudge. Monique left that marriage after seven months. She didn't fight for assets. She paid him back with interest. She moved home, rebuilt her life, married Spencer, had two children. She never said McKee's name again. Her family says they always knew.

    They suspected him from day one. Eight years later, police say he drove 300 miles in the middle of the night and killed her anyway. Coffindaffer explains why doing everything right sometimes isn't enough. Finally, we break down day three of the Brendan Banfield murder trial. McDonald's video corroborates Juliana's timeline — Banfield got her call at 7:37 AM, the signal that Joseph Ryan had arrived. The knife was hidden under blankets. Christine's phone was in a drawer. But Banfield's DNA wasn't on the knife because police let him wash his hands. Three cases. Three sets of questions. Join us live as we analyze the evidence and take your questions in real time.

  • LIVE: Brendan Banfield Trial — McDonald's Video, The Hidden Knife & The DNA Problem
    Jan 20 2026

    We're live with former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer to break down day three of the Brendan Banfield murder trial — the day prosecutors connected Juliana Peres Magalhães's testimony to hard evidence that doesn't depend on her word. McDonald's surveillance video shows Banfield waiting in the parking lot the morning of the murders. At 7:37 AM, he's seen leaving the bathroom with his phone pressed to his ear. Phone records confirm that's the exact moment Juliana called him. According to her testimony, that was the signal — Joseph Ryan had arrived. Detectives revealed the murder knife was found hidden under blankets on the floor, not in Ryan's hand, contradicting the defense theory that Ryan was the attacker.

    Christine Banfield's cell phone was tucked in a kitchen drawer while she slept — prosecutors say it was hidden so she couldn't be reached. But forensic testimony also exposed a significant problem: Brendan Banfield's DNA was not on the knife. Why? Because investigators allowed him to wash his hands before collecting samples. Coffindaffer joins us live to explain how that happens in a double homicide investigation, what the knife placement tells us about who was the aggressor, and whether Christine's blood on Brendan's jeans can overcome the DNA gap. We'll also examine the premeditation evidence — the gun purchase, the range trips with Juliana, the alleged $30,000 in soundproofing.

    The defense has attacked Juliana relentlessly. But day three brought surveillance footage and phone records that corroborate her account. Can they pivot? Join us live to ask your questions as we analyze this pivotal day in real time.

  • LIVE: Monique Tepe & Michael McKee — FBI Agent On The Psychology Of An 8-Year Grudge
    Jan 20 2026

    We're live with former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer to examine the behavioral psychology behind the alleged murder of Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer by Dr. Michael McKee. This wasn't a crime of passion. Police say McKee drove 300 miles from Chicago to Columbus in the middle of the night — eight years after a marriage that lasted seven months. Monique did everything right. She got out quickly. She didn't fight over the house or the assets. She let him keep the rings, then paid him back with interest when he demanded it. She moved home to Ohio, rebuilt her life, fell in love again, got married, had two children. Her family says she never spoke his name after the divorce. Only called him "her ex-husband." They say she described emotional abuse. Torment. That she was always worried.

    Coffindaffer joins us live to explain what she calls "deep-seated resentment and hate that just built up" — the behavioral profile of a grievance collector who holds onto anger for years, sometimes decades. We examine how control dynamics in the divorce proceedings reveal patterns of ownership and entitlement, how watching an ex build a new life and family can escalate obsessive attachment, and why the system repeatedly fails to protect people when there's no paper trail of prior reports. Monique's family says they knew from day one. They suspected McKee immediately but stayed quiet to protect the investigation. What does it mean when families know — when they've known for years — but the system can't act until someone is dead? Join us live to ask your questions and learn the warning signs that someone may never let go.

  • LIVE: Monique Tepe Murder — FBI Agent Breaks Down Michael McKee Investigation, Ballistics & The 11-Day Mistake
    Jan 20 2026

    We're live with former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer to break down the investigation into Dr. Michael McKee, the Chicago vascular surgeon charged with the premeditated aggravated murder of his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer in Columbus, Ohio. Police have released significant details this week — a preliminary NIBIN ballistics match linking a firearm from McKee's residence to shell casings at the scene, surveillance footage placing his vehicle at the Tepe home before and after the murders, and video of a hooded figure walking through an alley at 3:52 AM. But the investigation still has unanswered questions. There was no forced entry. Police haven't explained how McKee allegedly got inside. And they haven't addressed why a surgeon with McKee's education and resources would allegedly keep the murder weapon in his penthouse apartment for eleven days.

    Coffindaffer walks us through the forensic methodology behind NIBIN matching, what investigators look for when there's no sign of break-in, and why McKee's pre-arrest statements could be devastating at trial. We also examine the pattern of evasion that emerged in the months before these murders — a process server tried nine times to find McKee at addresses that didn't exist. His former colleague said he vanished. Police confirmed no prior reports were filed from the Tepe address, but they hedged when asked about communications between McKee and Monique. What are they holding back? Join us live as we take your questions and break down every angle of this case with one of the best investigative minds in the business.

  • LIVE: FBI Behavioral Expert Robin Dreeke On Nick Reiner AND Brendan Banfield | Full Breakdown
    Jan 20 2026

    We're going LIVE with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke for a deep dive into two of the most analyzed cases in true crime right now: Nick Reiner and Brendan Banfield.

    Dreeke spent 32 years at the FBI, including leading the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He's analyzed spies, criminals, and targets of federal investigations. He literally wrote the book on trust and manipulation. Now he's turning that expertise on two cases that refuse to be simple.

    Nick Reiner reportedly admits to killing his parents — then frames incarceration as a "conspiracy." Robin explains why post-event narratives are behavioral gold. We examine decades of instability, treatment cycling, and the reported aftermath that didn't involve confusion or collapse. Why does calm movement after violence raise questions? Robin breaks it down.

    Brendan Banfield was an IRS criminal investigator accused of orchestrating double murder. The prosecution says he spent months planning. But eight months later, police found a framed photo of Brendan and his mistress on the nightstand. He called 911. He gave a detailed statement. Robin examines whether this behavior matches a calculated killer — or whether the theory falls apart.

    Juliana Peres Magalhaes spent a year telling police the same story Brendan did. Then she flipped. From jail, she wrote that she still loved him. Robin analyzes who was really in control — and what to watch for when she testifies.

    Drop your questions in the chat. We're taking them in real time.

  • LIVE: FBI Expert Robin Dreeke Profiles Brendan Banfield & Dr. McKee — Two Alleged Killers, One Behavioral Analysis
    Jan 20 2026

    A federal agent accused of staging a murder to look like a home invasion. A surgeon who allegedly killed his ex-wife eight years after their divorce. Two men. Two alleged murder plots. One FBI behavioral expert breaking it all down.

    Join us live with Robin Dreeke — former FBI Special Agent and head of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — as he profiles Brendan Banfield and Dr. Michael McKee. What do these cases tell us about control, manipulation, and the psychology of people who allegedly believe they can outsmart the system?

    In the Banfield case, prosecutors say a trained law enforcement officer built a months-long plot to kill his wife Christine and a stranger named Joseph Ryan — using a fake fetish profile, a groomed patsy, and a staged crime scene. The only living witness is the au pair, Juliana Magalhães, who lied for a year before flipping. She's now negotiating with Netflix. Can the jury trust her?

    In the Tepe murders, McKee allegedly drove hundreds of miles to kill Monique and Spencer Tepe while their children slept. No criminal record. No documented threats. Just eight years of alleged silence before a double homicide. Robin explains what makes a "wound collector" — someone who catalogs grievances and carries them for years until something snaps.

    We're taking your questions live. What behavioral red flags should people watch for? How do high-functioning professionals hide dangerous resentment? And what separates someone who moves on from someone who waits?

    Both defendants maintain their innocence.

  • LIVE: Ex-FBI Agent Robin Dreeke on Wound Collectors & the Tepe Murder Case
    Jan 19 2026

    Join us live as former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke breaks down the psychology behind the Tepe murders and explains what makes a "wound collector" tick.

    Dr. Michael McKee allegedly waited eight years after his divorce from Monique Tepe to act. Eight years of silence. No criminal record. No documented threats. Just a successful career as a vascular surgeon — and, according to investigators, a grievance he never let go.

    Robin Dreeke ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He's spent decades studying how people think, how they deceive, and how dangerous personalities hide in plain sight until they don't.

    Tonight we're asking the hard questions: What is a wound collector and how do they differ from someone who simply holds a grudge? How does a high-functioning professional mask this kind of resentment? What triggers someone to finally act after years of dormancy? How do wound collectors flip the script and convince themselves they're the victim? And can these people be identified before they become dangerous?

    Drop your questions in the chat — we'll get to as many as we can.

    McKee maintains his innocence and plans to plead not guilty to two counts of premeditated aggravated murder. Spencer and Monique Tepe leave behind two young children.

    Understanding the psychology won't undo what happened. But it might help someone watching tonight recognize the signs in their own life.

  • LIVE: FBI Expert Robin Dreeke Analyzes Au Pair Juliana Magalhães — Is She Credible?
    Jan 19 2026

    The prosecution says Juliana Peres Magalhães is telling the truth. The defense says she's a liar who will say anything to walk free and get paid.

    She wrote jail letters promising to protect Brendan Banfield. She told his mother she'd "take the blame for both of us." Then she flipped — after Banfield was arrested, after she was hospitalized, and after Netflix came calling.

    LIVE with former FBI special agent Robin Dreeke to analyze the au pair's credibility. What does her behavior on the stand reveal? How does an FBI behavioral expert evaluate a witness with this much baggage? And can the jury trust someone whose story changed after a year of lies?

    Join us live with your questions. Banfield has pleaded not guilty. The trial is ongoing.
