Breaking new information in the Lynette Hooker investigation is raising major questions about Brian Hooker’s timeline of the night his wife vanished in the Bahamas. Sources close to the investigation say that Lynette Hooker was dead before 8 p.m. on April 4, 2026, which would mean she was already dead before Brian’s story about a dinghy accident, a missing dry bag, lost passports, and an hours-long float to Marsh Harbour ever began.
In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh breaks down the newest timeline development in the suspected murder investigation, including evidence that Lynette made it back to the couple’s sailboat, Soulmate, signs of a fight and foul play onboard, and why Lynette’s Apple Watch could become a critical piece of evidence in determining her final moments. Ashleigh is also joined by retired Coast Guard Investigative Service agent Eric Gempp, who helped investigate the Nathan Carman “murder on the high seas” case, to discuss the parallels between the two cases, the importance of Brian Hooker’s earliest statements, and how federal investigators build a no-body case at sea.
Explosive new lies are surfacing in the Lynette Hooker investigation after sources with knowledge of the case said evidence shows Lynette made it back to the couple’s sailboat before she vanished. Now, Brian Hooker’s story about the dinghy, the dry bag, the missing passports, the so-called helpless float to Marsh Harbour, and his alleged search for Lynette are all facing new scrutiny. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield speaks with Lynette’s friend Blaine Stevenson about the new boat evidence, Brian’s alleged lies, the missing passport mystery, and Facebook messages Brian sent to one of Lynette’s childhood friends in the days after she vanished.
Just days after Nancy Guthrie vanished, a fake Bitcoin ransom scammer tried to exploit her family’s worst nightmare. Five months later, on July 2, Derrick Callella, a 42-year-old man from Hawthorne, California, pleaded guilty after prosecutors said he sent Bitcoin-related ransom messages to Nancy Guthrie’s family after she vanished and after an earlier ransom demand had already been made. Derrick Callella is expected to receive 5 years probation, not prison, when he is sentenced on Sept. 10.
In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield is joined by former homicide prosecutor Matt Murphy, author of The Book of Murder and host of the podcast In The Well on MK True Crime, to discuss whether this punishment fits the crime and what the case could mean for scammers who target grieving families during active criminal investigations.
The Nancy Guthrie case just got even more confusing, as the FBI is now pushing back on reports that every alleged ransom note tied to Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother was fake. Reuters reported that FBI sources believe all of the ransom-related messages are bogus, but TMZ’s Harvey Levin says his FBI contacts are telling him something very different: that some of the original ransom demands may still be considered potentially legitimate.
In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the chaos over the Nancy Guthrie ransom notes, the FBI’s new statement saying the case is still being investigated as a kidnapping for ransom, the role of the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, and why the alleged messages sent to media outlets have become such a critical and controversial part of the investigation. Ashleigh is joined by James Hamilton, former FBI Supervisory Special Agent and founder of Hamilton Security Group, to discuss how investigators evaluate ransom demands, why different FBI sources may be giving different assessments, and what this latest twist means for the search for Nancy Guthrie.

Alex Murdaugh is heading back to court for a new murder trial in 2027, and one overlooked piece of evidence could become a major problem for prosecutors: unknown male DNA found under Maggie Murdaugh’s fingernail.
In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the latest pretrial hearing in the Murdaugh murders case with Peter Tragos, host of The Lawyer You Know, including the defense’s argument that Alex Murdaugh’s orange jumpsuit and shackles could poison the jury pool before the retrial even begins, why mystery male DNA under Maggie Murdaugh’s fingernail may get new attention with modern testing, how much of Murdaugh’s financial crimes history jurors may hear, the Becky Hill jury tampering fallout, and whether Alex Murdaugh has a real shot at beating the murder charges this time around.

A critical new detail in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping mystery may help explain why investigators have been taking the first ransom note so seriously. According to new reporting from CBS, the first ransom note received on February 2, 2026, included a highly specific detail about Nancy Guthrie’s Apple Watch: that it had a white band and was on the floor of Nancy's bedroom.
In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield is joined by Crime Junkie Breaking News Reporter, Brianna Whitney, who has seen the wording of the ransom notes and shares what stood out to her, including the strange language, the apology, and what it was like reporting on the Nancy Guthrie case in real time as the first clues were coming in.
Mackenzie Shirilla’s mother, Natalie Shirilla, is speaking out after Netflix’s The Crash reignited outrage over the deadly 2022 Ohio crash that killed Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan. Mackenzie was 17 years old when prosecutors said she deliberately drove into a brick wall at 100 miles per hour, killing her boyfriend and friend. She was convicted in a bench trial and sentenced to 15 years to life, but Natalie insists the public still does not know the full story.
In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield is joined by Chris Cuomo, who sat down for an exclusive interview with Natalie Shirilla and pressed her on the questions still surrounding her daughter’s case, from the crash evidence and trial strategy to Mackenzie’s prison interview, misconduct reports, and allegations about prison girlfriends.

The Nancy Guthrie case just took another disturbing turn after new reporting revealed the chilling words allegedly sent after the 84-year-old Tucson grandmother vanished: “Hello Savannah. We have your mother, Nancy.” In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the latest Nancy Guthrie ransom note details, including the alleged apology, the claim that Nancy “perished shortly after she was taken,” and the bizarre phrase that she was “buried with nature.” Ashleigh is joined by retired homicide detective and Cold Case Foundation director Chris McDonough, who weighs in on why the ransom notes may not fit a typical kidnapping-for-ransom case, what the “porch guy” video may reveal about the abductor, and whether a new theory about how Nancy was targeted could open an entirely different path in the investigation.

Chilling New Details: A body has been found in the search for missing Lexington, South Carolina woman Elena Moore, but the coroner says there was “nothing obvious” at first glance. We've also learned that Elena Moore’s husband spent 14 years as a local deputy before becoming a private investigator. Police said early in the investigation that he was not a person of interest. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield is joined by Sergeant Vicki Rains, who was featured in Netflix’s hit true crime docuseries, Missing: Dead or Alive? Rains served for more than 20 years in law enforcement, including with the Richland County Sheriff’s Department’s Victims Services Unit. She weighs in on the unusual timeline, the strange Ring camera video showing Moore disoriented days before she disappeared, the husband’s law enforcement background, and the questions investigators still need to answer.
Previous Video: https://youtu.be/aZ6UHHD29FU
Elena Katherine Moore, 39, was last seen on June 11 after signing in at Planet Fitness in Lexington. Surveillance later showed her walking near Publix on Old Cherokee Road wearing the same olive-green zip-up hoodie and black athletic pants she had on earlier that night. Days later, police said they found a body wearing similar clothing, but official identification and cause of death were still pending.
Breaking: A body matching Elena Moore’s clothing was found in a wooded area after newly obtained surveillance video showed the missing 39-year-old walking near Old Cherokee Road the night she vanished. Elena Katherine Moore disappeared in Lexington, South Carolina after she was last seen leaving Planet Fitness on Whiteford Way on June 11, wearing an olive-green zip-up hoodie and black athletic pants. Police later obtained surveillance video showing Moore walking through the Publix parking lot at 100 Old Cherokee Road around 9:17 p.m., still wearing the same clothes. Days later, investigators say a tip helped lead them to a search area near Old Cherokee Road, where a body was found wearing clothing that matched Moore’s last known outfit. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the strange and troubling timeline surrounding Elena Moore’s disappearance and the unanswered questions now surrounding the death investigation being handled by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division. Ashleigh also speaks with NewsNation National Correspondent Mills Hayes, who obtained bombshell Ring camera footage from about a week before Moore disappeared. The video appears to show Elena Moore confused and disoriented at a Lexington apartment complex, picking up someone else’s DoorDash order, trying to follow a homeowner inside, and later telling the homeowner, “I don’t know what I’m doing.”

A chilling new tip has pushed the Nancy Guthrie case across the border and into one of the darkest possible search areas yet. After 131 days with no sign of the missing Arizona grandmother, a volunteer search group in Nogales, Mexico says it received a specific anonymous tip claiming Nancy Guthrie may be buried near Mariposa, an area where searchers have previously found 25 unmarked graves. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the new Mexico search, the anonymous tip, the 25 unmarked graves, the Pima County response, and then sits down with Dr. Tracy “Trace” Sargent, a forensic criminologist, victimology expert, law enforcement officer, canine handler, and missing persons specialist, to talk about what this tip could mean.
Breaking: Brian Hooker is refusing to cooperate in the suspected murder investigation into his missing wife, Lynette Hooker. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh breaks down the latest turn in the Bahamas case and sits down with famed criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos to talk about what it means when a husband at the center of a suspected murder probe refuses to cooperate with investigators. Brian says Lynette “bounced” off the back of their dinghy in the Sea of Abaco, but the Coast Guard has now searched key areas tied to his timeline, taken possession of the dinghy, and continued following evidence in the case. Lynette Hooker is still missing. Brian Hooker has not been charged with a crime.

Lynette Hooker’s mother, Darlene Hamlett, and her husband Bill sit down with Ashleigh after the latest search in the Lynette Hooker suspected murder investigation, reacting to the dinghy now in Coast Guard hands, the evidence turned over by Bahamian police, and the new route information that appears to blow up Brian’s story about drifting helplessly across the Sea of Abaco. Darlene and Bill also reveal what they know about a secret “off-the-grid” cabin tied to Brian’s family and deliver a chilling warning to Brian Hooker and the people around him: watch your back.
Brian Hooker says Lynette “bounced” off the back of their dinghy and vanished. Darlene says she is not going away, the Coast Guard is not going away, and if Brian knows anything, it is time to come forward. Brian Hooker has not been charged with a crime.
Law Enforcement: "He's F*cked" | No remains were found in the search for Lynette Hooker, but sources say the Coast Guard still left the Bahamas with evidence that could be devastating for Brian Hooker. After three days of sonar, drones, divers, and Maggie the cadaver dog searching the Abacos, the Coast Guard did not recover Lynette’s remains. But this suspected murder investigation is far from over. Sources say the trip was “well worth it,” with investigators securing Brian and Lynette Hooker’s dinghy, receiving critical evidence from Bahamian police, and identifying key pieces that were not where Brian’s story says they should have been. Brian Hooker claims Lynette “bounced” off the back of their dinghy in the Sea of Abaco before he drifted for hours to Marsh Harbour. But Coast Guard investigators have now retraced his alleged route, searched around Soulmate, examined areas tied to GPS data, and taken possession of the dinghy that has been central to his story since day one.

Haunting New Clues: Brian Hooker says Lynette Hooker vanished on April 4, 2026, after “bouncing” off the back of their dinghy in the Sea of Abaco. But the clues aboard Soulmate, the 46-foot sailboat anchored near Aunt Pat’s Bay, may raise much darker questions.

For weeks now, one disturbing question has been hanging over the Nancy Guthrie case: is the blood on her front porch just spatter, or could it contain trace evidence that might help identify whoever took her? On Day 62 in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, Ashleigh Banfield zeroes in on one of the most unsettling details in the entire case and brings in three top forensic experts to help break it down. Dr. Peter Valentin, Associate Professor and Chair of Forensic Science at the University of New Haven, joins the show alongside Dr. Laura Pettler, forensic criminologist and founder of LPA, and Dr. Ken Kinsey, forensic crime scene analyst and reconstruction expert known to many as the state’s expert witness in the Alex Murdaugh trial. Together, they examine the blood evidence, the possible shoe print, and the competing theories about what may have happened on Nancy Guthrie’s porch as the search for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother stretches into Day 62.

On Day 60 in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, investigators are now digging into a new angle in the case: contractors, subcontractors, and day laborers who may have had access to Nancy’s home or her neighborhood. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down new reporting that law enforcement is now trying to track down the many workers who may have been coming and going around the property, a process one source described as “a mess.” Ashleigh is joined by retired detective Clint Cole, who helped solve the Nancy Woodrum case, to explain how investigators approach contractor-heavy cases, why these leads can be so difficult to untangle, and why the police may have already spoken to the suspect. If you have any information, call 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Disturbing New Details: On Day 59 in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, an alarming new detail raises questions about how this investigation was handled from the very beginning. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield shares new reporting that the detective initially leading Nancy Guthrie’s case had only two years of experience, even as the investigation quickly became a major, high-profile case.
Ashleigh is joined by retired Pima County homicide detective Kurt Dabb. They also dig into the latest details about the back kitchen door, the flower pots used to prop open the screen door and back gate, what that staging could suggest about planning, and whether more than one person may have been involved in Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.

On Day 58 of the search for Nancy Guthrie, a chilling new detail is raising even more questions about what happened inside her home. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the biggest developments in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today co-host Savannah Guthrie, who vanished from her Tucson-area home under deeply suspicious circumstances. New details focus on the back patio entry into the kitchen, where two doors were allegedly propped open with flower pots, while the back gate was reportedly propped open the same way.
Ashleigh is joined by Bob Krygier, retired lieutenant and former SWAT commander with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, to break down what those details could mean about how the perp got in, whether the setup suggests planning, the possibility of more than one person being involved, and the biggest questions still hanging over this case.

*BREAKING* BCSO Statement 3/12:
Updated Timeline and Description in Search for William “Neil” McCasland
READ FULL STATEMENT HERE: https://x.com/bcsonm/status/203221028...
BCSO is releasing the following verified timeline to provide clarity on what is known. On February 27 at approximately 10:00 a.m., a repairman was at the residence and interacted with Mr. McCasland. At approximately 11:10 a.m., Mrs. McCasland Wilkerson left the home for a medical appointment. At approximately 12:04 p.m., she returned home and Mr. McCasland was not there. His phone, prescription glasses, and wearable devices were located at the residence. Mrs. McCasland Wilkerson began attempting to locate Mr. McCasland and contacted family and friends. At approximately 3:07 p.m., she reported him missing and the investigation began immediately.
As the investigation has progressed, BCSO has identified items believed to be unaccounted for from the residence. Investigators believe Mr. McCasland may have been wearing the shirt shown in the attached photo. The photo depicts Mr. McCasland wearing a light green, long sleeve button-up outdoor shirt. Additional items believed to be missing include his hiking boots, wallet, and a .38 caliber revolver with a leather holster.
Investigators also located a gray U.S. Air Force sweatshirt approximately 1.25 miles east of the residence on Saturday, March 7. The item was collected and processed. No blood was detected during initial processing, and additional analysis is pending. The sweatshirt has not been confirmed by family or friends to be associated with Mr. McCasland; however, it prompted an additional targeted search effort in the area.
BCSO is again asking anyone in the area to check and submit security camera footage from Friday, February 27 and Saturday, February 28, particularly between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. in and around Quail Run Court NE and routes leading away from the neighborhood. If you were in the foothills or on trails February 27 to 28, please review any GoPro or phone footage and submit anything that may help.
Video and photos can be uploaded here:

Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie, vanished from her Catalina Foothills home near Tucson under deeply suspicious circumstances, and as the investigation continues a new question is emerging: could organized burglary crews known as South American Theft Groups, or SATG, be connected to cases like this one, targeting wealthy homes through surveillance, digital research, and carefully planned break-ins?
In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield is joined by former CIA officer and FBI special agent Tracy Walder and retired FBI special agent Tom McAfee, who explain how these organized crews operate, how they select their targets, and what law enforcement looks for when determining whether a burglary ring could be tied to something far more serious.

The search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie, has now entered a critical new phase as investigators focus on the power of forensic DNA and genetic genealogy to identify the mysterious intruder caught on camera outside her Catalina Foothills home near Tucson. 31 days after Nancy vanished, law enforcement sources say there are still no active leads strong enough to secure a new warrant, but experts say the DNA trail left behind in the home could still lead investigators directly to the person responsible. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh is joined by former Texas Ranger Brandon Bess, now a private investigator with PPI Security in Houston, who explains the real-world detective work behind genetic genealogy, from tracking family trees to knocking on doors and collecting DNA that can finally identify a suspect.

On Day 26 of the Nancy Guthrie missing investigation, shocking new footage shows a mystery car caught on camera at a precise and highly significant time, raising urgent new questions about what really happened the night she vanished. The exact timestamp of the surveillance video now carries enormous weight, especially in light of pacemaker data that could narrow Nancy Guthrie’s timeline down to the minute. Why was that vehicle there at that exact moment, and how does the medical device information intersect with what cameras captured? Adding another layer to the Nancy Guthrie missing case, a senior law enforcement source confirms that a police plane tracked the Range Rover linked to the SWAT raid two weeks earlier. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield is joined by retired FBI Special Agent and host of the podcast Best Case Worst Case, Maureen O’Connell, who analyzes how these developments could reshape the investigation.

The search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie, enters Day 25 with a surge of unexpected activity at her Catalina Foothills home near Tucson. Multiple unmarked vehicles and a convoy of black SUVs were seen arriving at the property, including one dark SUV that pulled directly into the garage and remained inside before leaving. Federal prosecutors were later confirmed to be on scene assisting the FBI with what officials described as a routine legal process, even as the Pima County Sheriff’s Department publicly claimed there was no activity at the house. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield is joined by veteran homicide prosecutor Matt Murphy to break it all down.

In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield is joined by former FBI Special Agent and former hostage negotiator Chip Massey, founder of The Convincing Company, to break down Savannah’s statement, the one million dollar reward, the latest reporting about the DNA evidence, and what investigators may be focusing on next in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.

Was Nancy Guthrie targeted? Did the suspect visit her home more than once? Multiple outlets have reported that the Nest camera images and videos of the masked prowler seen outside Nancy Guthrie’s Catalina Foothills home may have been captured on two different nights, not one. If true, that changes everything. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the new masked prowler video reporting, what it could mean for the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department investigation, and why the distinction between one night and multiple nights is so critical. She is joined by Spencer Coursen, former Special Deputy U.S. Marshal, threat management expert, author of The Safety Trap, and founder of Coursen Security Group.

Three weeks into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie, the investigation in Tucson’s Catalina Foothills has grown more intense and more complex. What began as a missing persons case on February 1 quickly shifted into a criminal investigation after her purse, phone, wallet, and vehicle were found inside her home and blood was discovered near the front entrance. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield walks through the full timeline of the Nancy Guthrie mystery, including the Nest doorbell footage of a masked suspect with an Ozark Trail backpack, the unknown male DNA recovered from gloves found near the property, and the controversy surrounding evidence sent to a private Florida lab. We also examine the escalating ransom demands that led to a federal arrest, the FBI’s use of BlueFly signal detection technology to search for Nancy’s pacemaker, and the ongoing questions about motive, suspects, and whether this was a targeted kidnapping. With more than 20,000 tips reviewed and over $200,000 in reward money offered, this Nancy Guthrie missing update breaks down every major twist and where the case stands right now.

After days of speculation about whether the 84-year-old mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie could have been taken across the U.S.–Mexico border, Mexican authorities are now publicly responding, and they are pushing back hard.
With Sheriff Chris Nanos saying hundreds of personnel are reviewing thousands of leads and investigators not ruling out a possible accomplice tied to the suspected kidnapper seen on surveillance video, the question remains: what is really happening behind the scenes on Day 19 of the search for Nancy Guthrie? In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down every new development in the Nancy Guthrie case.
Is the FBI now looking south of the border? Law enforcement sources tell multiple outlets that the FBI has contacted Mexican authorities in connection with the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, even though Sheriff Chris Nanos has repeatedly stated there is no evidence she was taken to Mexico. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the conflicting statements about Mexico and dives into the truth about eerie Google searches tied to the Nancy Guthrie mystery, including records showing searches for Nancy’s address, Google image lookups of her home, and even searches for Savannah Guthrie’s salary in the days and months leading up to her disappearance.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is now explicitly clearing the entire Guthrie family, including all siblings and spouses. That statement comes less than 24 hours after previous interviews where he said no one had been cleared. Meanwhile, federal agents have reportedly shown up at gun stores across Tucson with 40 names and 40 photos, asking employees if any of those individuals purchased weapons. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield is joined by former Special Deputy U.S. Marshal and CEO of Coursen Security Group, Spencer Coursen, to break down all the latest updates and where this investigation is heading next.

The search for Nancy Guthrie just took another turn, and this time it involves a pair of gloves that investigators say were found during search efforts.

In the last several hours, FBI agents and Pima County deputies have flooded Nancy Guthrie’s home, re-establishing crime-scene tape, restricting access, and towing a vehicle from the property under a sheriff’s escort. Federal agents were also seen at the nearby home of Nancy’s daughter, Annie Guthrie, and her husband, Tommaso Cioni. As alleged ransom communications continue to surface and are actively being reviewed by federal authorities, President Donald Trump publicly acknowledged the investigation and said significant developments had unfolded within a matter of hours.

New court documents reveal chilling allegations of forced sex, strangulation, stalking, and explicit death threats in the Ohio double murder of Spencer Tepe and Monique Tepe. Investigators say the details point to a calculated and deeply personal killing.In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down explosive court filings in the Columbus, Ohio, murders of Dr. Spencer Tepe and his wife, Monique Tepe, who were found shot to death inside their home on December 30, 2025. According to new court filings, Monique Tepe told friends and family that her ex-husband, Dr. Michael McKee, had been abusive, had threatened to kill her, and claimed he could find her anywhere. The filings include allegations of forced sexual acts and strangulation, along with surveillance evidence showing a vehicle allegedly tied to Michael McKee arriving just before the murders and leaving shortly after. Investigators also noted an earlier video of a suspect entering the Tepe property weeks before the killings while the couple was away. Court records state that McKee’s phone was left at his workplace in Rockford, Illinois while the murders occurred, raising serious questions about premeditation and planning.

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.

Police say this was not a crime of passion, not a botched home invasion, and not a jealous husband snapping in the moment, but a meticulously planned double murder allegedly orchestrated by a federal agent who was living a secret double life with his family’s au pair. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the shocking prosecution theory against Brendan Banfield, a Virginia IRS agent accused of catfishing an unsuspecting man through BDSM websites, luring him into the Banfield home under false pretenses, and then staging a brutal scene that left his wife, Christine Banfield, stabbed to death and Joseph Ryan shot and killed inside their million-dollar Fairfax County home. Prosecutors allege Banfield and his young Brazilian au pair, Juliana Perez Magalhães, carried out an elaborate plot involving fake online identities, Telegram calls, decoy 911 calls, McDonald’s drive-through alibis, sound-dampening windows, gun-range training, and a plan to make Banfield look like the hero who stopped a violent intruder.

Phantom Court Clerical Error? Family members say the warning signs were there long before Spencer and Monique Tepe were brutally murdered inside their Columbus, Ohio home, but one strange detail in the court system has raised a disturbing new question. Just months before the killings, Ohio court records show a divorce hearing was mistakenly scheduled in the long-closed case between Monique and her ex-husband, surgeon Michael McKee. The court later called it a clerical error, saying the hearing was canceled and issued by mistake, but the timing has fueled intense scrutiny over whether a clerical error or a docket mistake could have reopened old wounds.

The more that comes out, the harder it becomes to believe this was random. And the more chilling the question becomes. Was Dr. Michael McKee seething for a decade?

In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield walks through the courtroom moment, the upgraded aggravated murder charges, and what prosecutors now believe about how this double murder unfolded.

A disturbing Ohio double murder is raising serious questions after a dentist and his wife were found shot to death inside their home while their young children were left unharmed. As investigators search for answers, a chilling detail has taken on new importance: a neighbor called 911 days earlier reporting a stranger banging on her door in the middle of the night just steps away from the victims’ home. In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the murders of Spencer and Monique Tepe and the troubling puzzle pieces that do not add up, including the neighbor’s 911 call, eerie coincidences, unexplained timeline gaps, and the lingering question of whether this was a random stranger or something far more sinister.

After this episode was published, People Magazine reported that Spencer Tepe's brother-in-law, Rob Misleh, says the woman in the 911 call transcripts is not Monique. https://people.com/911-call-not-monique-tepe-relative-says-11880695
A respected Ohio dentist and his wife were found shot to death inside their Columbus home, and more than a week later, police are still saying very little. Spencer Tepe and his wife Monique, known to family and friends as “Mo,” were discovered after concerns were raised when Spencer failed to show up for work, something colleagues say was completely out of character. In this episode, we walk through the disturbing new information that has emerged since their deaths, including police radio traffic from the morning their bodies were found, newly surfaced details from a prior 911 call connected to the home, and what investigators are and are not sharing with the public. We also examine why the lack of visible progress is raising questions and what experts say could be happening behind the scenes.

Nearly four years after the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, a former school police officer is now facing criminal charges for his actions that day. Adrian Gonzalez is charged with 29 counts of child abandonment or endangerment, accused of failing to take action while a gunman was inside the school. In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down what prosecutors say Gonzalez should have done, how the defense is framing the chaos and confusion of that morning, and why this case is raising a far bigger question. When does a failure to act become a crime? This trial is only the second time in U.S. history that a police officer has been criminally prosecuted for a school shooting response, and the outcome could have nationwide implications for law enforcement accountability.

In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield walks through the disturbing case of Brooke Skylar Richardson, an Ohio high school senior who secretly gave birth, buried her newborn in her parents’ backyard, and later stood trial for murder.
The case quickly became a fight over what actually happened in the moments after that baby was born. Prosecutors told the jury the newborn was alive. The defense insisted she was stillborn. And in the end, jurors were left trying to decide whether Brooke Richardson killed her baby, or whether the truth was something that could never be fully proven.
