True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews

Fifteen years after Ellen Greenberg was found with 20 stab wounds and ruled a suicide, the federal government is asking questions — not about how she died, but about who decided to call it suicide and why. Robin Dreeke, former FBI special agent and behavioral analysis expert, explains the federal methodology: how investigators build corruption cases against institutions, what makes people in the orbit of an investigation decide to cooperate, and what the medical examiner's sworn recantation of his own ruling means for everyone else who touched this case. The crime scene was professionally cleaned before homicide detectives could return. Electronic devices were removed by a politically connected family member. The ruling changed from homicide to suicide after police publicly disputed it. And Josh Shapiro's office held the case for four years before suddenly discovering a "conflict of interest" with connected families. Robin breaks down what federal investigators are looking for, who's most vulnerable to pressure, and why the complete institutional silence tells us more than any press conference could.

The probable cause affidavit in the Michael McKee case has been unsealed, and the details are damning. According to court documents filed in Franklin County, McKee allegedly stalked his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer for weeks before their December 30th murders—and drove 900 miles round trip in just 17 hours to carry out the killings.
Here's what we now know from the affidavit:
McKee allegedly entered the Tepe property on December 6th while the couple was at the Big Ten Championship game in Indianapolis. Surveillance video captured him on the property for several hours. Monique left the game at halftime, reportedly upset about something involving her ex-husband.
Witnesses told investigators McKee had threatened Monique for years, allegedly telling her he could "kill her at any time" and that she would "always be his wife." At least one witness reported allegations of strangulation and forced sex during their marriage.
On December 29th, McKee allegedly left his cell phone at the hospital where he worked in Rockford, Illinois. That phone showed no activity for 17 hours—the exact window needed to drive 450 miles to Columbus, commit the murders at approximately 3:50 a.m., and return.
Investigators tracked a silver SUV with a distinctive window sticker to McKee. After the murders, fresh scrape marks appeared where the sticker had been. A firearm found at his Chicago condo was matched through ballistics to the crime scene.
McKee was arrested 11 days later at a Chick-fil-A near his workplace. He has pleaded not guilty to four counts of aggravated murder and one count of aggravated burglary.

Eight years after their divorce, Michael McKee allegedly told Monique Tepe he could kill her at any time. Now he's charged with her murder — and the murder of her husband Spencer. Robin Dreeke, former FBI special agent and behavioral analysis expert, breaks down the unsealed affidavit in the case against the Illinois vascular surgeon accused of driving 900 miles to execute the couple in their Weinland Park home on December 30th. The documents reveal alleged strangulation and sexual assault during the marriage, years of threatening statements reported by witnesses, and a surveillance trip to their property while they were at a football game three weeks before the killings. 
McKee faces four counts of aggravated murder with firearm specifications including the use of a suppressor. Robin explains what the behavioral pattern tells us about obsession that doesn't fade, why high professional intelligence doesn't translate to criminal sophistication, and what Monique's gut reaction at halftime of that Big Ten Championship game tells us about how victims sense danger before they can prove it.

When Kouri Richins was arrested in May 2023 for allegedly poisoning her husband Eric with a fentanyl-laced Moscow Mule, the case against her seemed overwhelming. Financial desperation. Life insurance policies. A housekeeper who said she sold Kouri the drugs. A drug dealer who confirmed the fentanyl. Nearly three years later, as jury selection approaches for her February 2026 trial, the prosecution's case has been carved up by defense wins and judicial rulings. The drug dealer, Robert Crozier, has recanted — now claiming under oath he sold OxyContin, not fentanyl. Judge Mrazik severed 26 financial felony charges from the murder trial, meaning the jury won't hear about Kouri's alleged mortgage fraud, money laundering, or the nearly $5 million her business owed the day after Eric died. The prosecution's domestic violence expert was blocked. Their FBI behavioral profiler was limited to rebuttal-only testimony and cannot be used to suggest guilt. Statements Kouri made during a 2022 search were suppressed because detectives didn't Mirandize her. What prosecutors still have: Carmen Lauber's testimony, Eric's toxicology showing five times the lethal dose of fentanyl, an orange notebook allegedly detailing the night of his death, and the infamous "Walk the Dog" letter found in Kouri's jail cell that prosecutors call witness tampering. The defense says it was fiction. The Utah Supreme Court refused to move the trial out of Summit County despite surveys showing nearly 80% of residents recognize the case. Eight jurors will decide if what's left is enough to convict.

Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins True Crime Today to analyze two cases defined by alleged institutional failure.
The McKee investigation: surveillance footage, ballistics databases, and the eleven-day forensic trail that led to a surgeon's arrest for allegedly murdering his ex-wife and her husband. Plus the behavioral red flags — death threats, strangulation allegations, pre-offense stalking — that allegedly went unaddressed for eight years.
The WSU lawsuit: the families of the Idaho Four have taken Washington State University to federal court, alleging 13 formal complaints about Bryan Kohberger were ignored while he kept his position, housing, and access to students.
Coffindaffer breaks down what happens when the people we trust to intervene don't.
