0:01
What a weekend, huh? Oh my goodness.
0:04
The arrest of Michael McKee and the murder of his ex-wife
0:09
Monique Tepe and her husband Doctor Spencer Tepe, and an
0:15
extradition hearing. Today, we're learning more about
0:20
this man who police say murdered the tepees in their Columbus, OH
0:26
home. Hope I got that right.
0:29
Now I'm second guessing myself. And there, yeah.
0:32
Columbus, OH home. Let's get into it.
0:49
This video contains mature themes and discussions intended
0:52
only for adult audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.
0:58
Hello there, my friend, and welcome back to another true
1:00
crime conversation with me. My name is Gavin.
1:03
Thank you very much for joining me, wherever you're joining me
1:06
from. And people are I'm seeing in the
1:08
live chat right now are already doing what I'm going to ask you
1:12
to do and that is to tell me where you are tuning in from.
1:18
What do we got here? We got San Jose in the house.
1:21
We got my thing, doesn't want to go.
1:25
What do we got? We got San Jose.
1:27
We got Birmingham, AL. For some reason, my thing keeps
1:32
on Oceanside, CA. We got Arizona in the house.
1:39
We got Oregon in the house. Oh my goodness.
1:42
Sharky Sharona telling us that JP Miller was in court today
1:45
too. Dang it, that's one piece of
1:47
news that I did not look up for our headlines later on.
1:51
Oh, JP Miller in court. Good.
1:54
Good, good. Good, good, good.
1:56
What else we got? We got Chattanooga.
1:57
We got Ohio. What would my grandmother sing?
2:02
Beautiful Ohio. I could not know the I don't
2:07
know the words, but she loved that song.
2:08
And she and her sister sing that all the time.
2:10
What do we got? We got North Carolina, Texas,
2:12
South Lake Tahoe, Maryland, Pittsburgh, PA, Indiana, Western
2:16
New York, Katy, TX, Hartford, CT, Detroit, MI and the list
2:22
goes on and on. Oh, South of Sweden.
2:25
Now are you saying you are in the South of Sweden or you are
2:28
South of Sweden? Because there's a lot that's
2:30
South of Sweden. Mt Rookie.
2:33
That's my little sis right there.
2:35
Orangevale, CA in the house. Nova Scotia, Lancaster County,
2:39
Henderson, Houston, TX, Newport, RI, Land of the Rising Sun,
2:45
Canada, Sweden, Ireland, Carlsbad, Oklahoma, Michigan,
2:50
Rochester, Brisbane, oh, North Central Wisconsin.
2:53
Thank you guys. I thank you so much for tuning
2:56
in wherever you are. Thank you, thank you, thank you,
2:59
thank you. OK, what are we talking about
3:01
today? We are talking about Spencer and
3:03
Monique Tepee on December 30th. Is that right?
3:10
I keep on second guessing myself on on these things, the dates
3:16
and stuff to to do, to do, to do, to do.
3:20
Hold on. Yeah.
3:21
December 30th, man, Why? I got to stop.
3:28
I got to just have confidence. I got to exude confidence.
3:31
So on December 30th, Doctor Tepe failed to show up to work at the
3:36
dental practice where he worked. That that set off alarm bells
3:42
for his coworkers and friends who said to themselves and
3:45
others, this is not like Spencer.
3:50
Let's call up to the house, call the house.
3:52
Monique doesn't answer. That's even more concerning
3:56
because these two people, it's out of character for them.
3:59
They call 911911, sends the police out for a welfare check.
4:05
The cop goes to the wrong address.
4:08
The the coworkers make their way out to the TEPI home.
4:13
They continue to call 911, apparently kind of ticking off
4:16
the 911 operators. That's that's I don't know my
4:20
interpretation from listening to the to the calls.
4:23
Eventually a worker is able to gain access.
4:28
A Co worker is able to gain access and finds discovers
4:34
Spencer's body. Police come out, they do an
4:36
investigation. They, they, they put out this
4:40
video for all of us to look at saying, hey, this duder was
4:45
there. He arrived before the murder.
4:47
He left after the murder. Does anybody recognize him?
4:51
Look at him. And then on Saturday, boom, this
4:56
man is arrested, a guy named Michael McKee.
4:59
Now, what connects Mr. McKee if you were with us on Saturday at
5:04
our impromptu live stream? Well, Mr. McKee was once married
5:10
to Monique Tepe, but it's been like 8-9 years.
5:16
They didn't. They don't have any children
5:17
together. He himself is a vascular
5:20
surgeon. When he caught a she, she hung
5:24
out with the with the in the crowd man.
5:26
She and she belonged there. She had a postgraduate degree in
5:30
early childhood education. She was no slouch at all.
5:34
She was amazing. But she divorced Mr. McKee and
5:39
later married Spencer Tepi. And what in about 2020?
5:44
And the the two have two children together, ages 4 and
5:48
one, along with what I'm sure is an extremely smart and obedient
5:54
and good boy or girl. I don't know, Goldendoodle.
5:58
So that's where we are today. Now, what are we talking about
6:01
today? Well, it turns out that Mister
6:06
McKee was arrested in Illinois, where he had a home in a swanky
6:14
skyrise right above Lincoln Park with Lake Superior views.
6:19
The swanky man. So let's read this from WIFR
6:25
Dateline. Rockford, IL Michael McKee
6:29
waives his right to an extradition hearing during his
6:32
court appearance Monday. So I this must have been just an
6:36
arraignment, right? A public defender with the 17th
6:40
Judicial Circuit representing McKee.
6:42
Carrie Poirier. I don't know how she would say
6:45
it. Poirier.
6:47
LQ Poirot. No, that's Paulo Gavin.
6:50
That's not it. Poirier.
6:52
Let's just say it. The American Way requested a
6:54
speedy return to Ohio to plead not guilty in the case.
6:58
Now IA hearing was set for next Monday, although is it is
7:03
expected that hearing will be cancelled if and when McKee is
7:06
extradited to Ohio. A date when McKee may be
7:09
extradited was not given. Now I have for your viewing
7:16
pleasure and our education the two-minute hearing for Mr.
7:22
McKee. I want to make sure my audio is
7:25
all all a working and let's have a playroom at this shall we?
7:31
Here we go. This is our public.
7:56
Territory present in custody. Your name, Sir?
7:59
For the record, Michael McKee. Have you had a chance to speak
8:02
with him? Yes, your Honor.
8:04
What's your position at this time?
8:06
Yes. At this time, Your Honor, on
8:08
behalf of Mr. McKee, I will assert his right to counsel.
8:13
I will assert his right to remain silent, and Mr. McKee
8:18
believes that the most expeditious manner in which he
8:21
may defend himself against the charges pending in Ohio and to
8:25
plead not guilty would be to waive his right to an
8:29
extradition hearing and to have a governor's warrant and to
8:33
agree to his immediate transportation to Ohio.
8:36
Understood. Thank you.
8:38
We will set this matter then for 2:00 on Monday for status on the
8:43
transfer. Anything else we can do today?
8:47
Not interesting. That's a pretty big dude.
8:58
He looks like a strong man too. I think he's listed as 6 foot
9:03
one, £200. That's a.
9:07
That's an imposing figure. Thanks everyone.
9:20
That's the hearing, that's the entire.
9:24
So we likely won't see another hearing that Monday date.
9:29
He probably will be provided long before that and that date
9:36
will be cancelled. And then we will see him in a an
9:39
arraignment, probably first in Ohio to face the charges of
9:46
murder, the murder of Monique Tepi, his ex-wife, and Spencer
9:53
Tepi, her husband. Now, this is begging the
9:56
question, begging the question. Like, what the crap?
10:02
What the devil man that is? My question is why?
10:08
Why? And I think that's a question
10:09
that most of us are asking. I've got a couple of things.
10:12
OK. Number one, we've got friend of
10:16
the show Jen Coffendaffer offering some ideas on News
10:22
Nation. So let me bring you on over here
10:25
to this article from News Nation.
10:28
Headline says motive and Ohio murders likely a festering
10:32
resentment. Ex FBI agent says OK.
10:37
And this is written by home Natasha Zuvez or Zuvez and
10:41
Michael Ramsey. Revelations that a Chicago man
10:46
charged in the killings of an Ohio couple was once married to
10:49
victim Monique Tepe suggest a quote deep seated resentment and
10:54
hatred, close quote had festered for years.
10:58
A former FBI special agent says the bodies of Monique and
11:02
Spencer Tepe were found December 30th as police officers
11:05
conducted a well-being check at the couple's Columbus residence.
11:09
Their young children and dog were unharmed.
11:12
There was no sign of forced entry.
11:15
The suspect that authorities arrested over the weekend of
11:18
Michael McKee had been married to Monique Tepe from 2015 to
11:23
2017, records indicate. Quote, this divorce happened
11:28
about nine years ago. They were married for such a
11:31
brief time, Jen Coffendafer, Law and Justice contributor, told
11:35
News Nation Prime on Sunday. That is strange, but I think it
11:39
was a deep seated resentment and hate that just built up and
11:43
finally came to this conclusion. Investigators reportedly zeroed
11:48
in on McKee, 39, after tracking a vehicle that had been parked
11:52
in the neighborhood at the time of the killings to Rockford, IL
11:56
McKee, a vascular surgeon, is being held in Winnebago County
12:00
and is slated to appear in court on Monday.
12:01
Which is what we just watched. Koffendaffer said the motive in
12:06
the case always seemed personal to her.
12:09
The accused killer likely studied the Tepes and obtained
12:12
the passcode that unlocked their door, she said.
12:16
They had stocked out the location well.
12:18
It was also very clear they knew where the camera locations were
12:22
because they evaded a lot of camera coverage, it would seem,
12:26
she said. I'm glad she added that it would
12:28
seem because the only camera that we are aware of is the one
12:32
where we see this video. And that is just because police
12:37
made us aware of this video, right?
12:39
We don't. There possibly could be other
12:44
cameras. This just seems to be the one
12:47
they wanted to share, perhaps because it was the one that was
12:51
maybe the best indication of who he was.
12:55
And police are saying that this man is indeed Michael McKee.
13:00
So that is Jen's take on it. Now, there's something else.
13:07
This came from the Daily Mail from yesterday.
13:14
This is a bit long, but but I think we're going to go over it
13:18
now. I should what should I preface
13:22
this with? I should preface this with we
13:26
really don't know what the motive is.
13:28
And unless Mr. McKee shouts out in court, hey everybody, I
13:35
decided to kill Monique and Spencer because and then he
13:39
tells us the reason. That's the only way we will know
13:41
what the motive is, right? And prosecutors don't need to
13:45
prove a motive. They only need to prove the
13:48
components of homicide. And of course, juries love to
13:53
know motives because juries are human.
13:56
They're well, juries aren't human, but jury members
13:58
certainly are. And we as humans want to know.
14:02
We want to know why. All right, so let's get back to
14:08
put wrong button Gavin. There you go.
14:12
This is written by Mary O'Connor, Emma Richter and Will
14:15
Potter for Daily Mail. The family of an Ohio dentist
14:20
and his wife who were allegedly shot dead by her cardiovascular
14:24
surgeon ex-husband has broken their silence for the first
14:28
time, with a relative revealing they suspected the alleged
14:31
killer was behind the crime. So according to this, this
14:36
person, this family member, when Monique and Spencer were
14:43
murdered, they were like, I bet it's Michael, mother of two.
14:48
Monique Tepe, 39, and her second husband, Spencer Tepe, 37, were
14:52
discovered shot dead in their home in Weinland Park, Columbus,
14:56
on December 30th. On Saturday.
15:01
I can you guys tell, Dang it, Gavin, you know what I'm about
15:05
to do. That's right, that's right.
15:13
I'm doing a tangent. Guys.
15:15
Have you noticed that I've been, I've been yawning a lot lately
15:19
and I've been holding them back. And my wife, my snuggly bear, my
15:22
sweetie pie, my one and only, She's been saying she's been
15:25
giving me these breathing exercises and I've been teasing
15:28
her about it. I've been, I'm a tease, OK, I'm
15:32
teasing her about it, but I'm, I'm trying not to yawn.
15:34
But it finally occurred to me, and I don't know why.
15:37
It hasn't occurred to me since last August when I decided to
15:43
say goodbye to Fat Gavin. That was the last time I
15:47
consumed caffeine. I have not had any beverage
15:53
besides water since August. And I used to when it was almost
16:02
time to go live, I used to get a soda because I'm not a coffee
16:05
drinker, not a tea drinker. My, my caffeinated beverage of
16:10
choice is fizzy, right? And fully leaded.
16:13
So I used to get like a big gulp.
16:17
This is not really a big Gulp because it's not 711, but a soda
16:19
like a fountain drink, right? And I would, I would be fully
16:24
caffeinated before I started my live stream.
16:27
And here I am wanting to yawn. I'm not tired.
16:32
I'm just it's been a long day. It's tangent.
16:35
I know. Thank you very much for sitting
16:37
through it, OK. On Saturday, Monique's
16:42
ex-husband Michael David McKee, 39, was charged with two counts
16:46
of murder over the brutal double homicide.
16:49
News of Mckee's arrest came just one day before grieving friends
16:52
and family remember or gathered to remember the Tepes on Sunday
16:56
afternoon. That's when the flu the funeral
16:58
was. Speaking ahead of the service, a
17:01
TEPI relative who wished to remain anonymous told the Daily
17:04
Mail. I hate anonymous sources.
17:07
Oh, I just hate anonymous sources.
17:09
But OK, told the Daily Mail they were not surprised by Mckee's
17:13
arrest but felt relieved to know their alleged killer is behind
17:17
bars. They said, quote, it was
17:19
absolutely not a shock to anybody.
17:22
We had all expected it, but we weren't saying that because we
17:25
didn't want to compromise the investigation.
17:28
Oh, look how they used proper punctuation.
17:31
Well done Daily Mail. We are all breathing a bit of a
17:35
sigh of relief because they got him close.
17:38
Quote, I imagine that they were worried for the children.
17:45
They probably were like, we know it was McKee, is he going to
17:48
come back and that kind of thing.
17:51
When asked if they knew of any problems Monique and Spencer had
17:55
had with McKee recently, the the relative replied, not that I'm
17:59
aware of. Monique and Spencer Tepi's
18:02
family broke their silence on their gruesome deaths just
18:05
before the husband and wife are. Oh no, that I don't know why it
18:08
does that in these prints. Spencer suffered multiple,
18:11
multiple gunshot wounds. We understand Monica was shot
18:15
once in the chest. Now I don't know where that
18:18
information has come from. Maybe family members because I'm
18:23
going to open up the if you were with me on Saturday.
18:28
I found the affidavits of probable cause.
18:30
I was able to obtain those. Let me just let me just pull it
18:35
open real quick because I don't think it says anything in that
18:39
affidavit. Let me bring that U because I
18:44
don't think it says anything about Causeway of death.
18:54
Yeah. Summary of facts gunshot wounds.
19:03
Yeah, it doesn't say O. It makes me wonder if this
19:08
article got that information from a family member.
19:12
They're not sourcing it, so I don't know.
19:15
But it says Spencer suffered multiple gunshot wounds and
19:18
Monique was shot once in the chest.
19:20
Their one year old son, 4 year old daughter and dog were found
19:24
unharmed and are currently in the care of loved ones.
19:28
I should say I should add, physically unharmed.
19:31
This family was harmed. These children were harmed, just
19:35
not physically. This is going to be something
19:38
that that resonates maybe for a couple generations.
19:46
The couple was found around 10:00 AM after Spencer's
19:48
panicked colleagues and a friend raised the alarm and called 911
19:52
when he didn't show up for work that morning.
19:55
The murders are said to have occurred at 3:52 AM, according
19:59
to the criminal complaint filed at Franklin County Municipal
20:02
Court on Saturday. And indeed we did.
20:05
We did see that. In this document right there,
20:09
3:52 AM on December 30th, cops snared A suspect through
20:16
neighborhood video surveillance and tracked him to a vehicle
20:19
which arrived just before the killings and left right after.
20:22
A summary of facts supporting probable cause stated.
20:26
Detectives traced the vehicle. And let me just read that for
20:29
those of you who weren't with us on the weekend.
20:31
OK, here's the summary of facts in the affidavit.
20:35
On December 30th, 2025 at 9:57 AM, Columbus Police patrol
20:40
officers were dispatched to 1411 N 4th St.
20:48
You know when I do, when I do my snuggly bears breathing and I
20:53
breathe in deeply. It makes me freaking yawn.
20:56
Maybe, maybe I I need to come up with some solution to this.
21:00
But anyway, they were dispatched to the N 4th St. home on a check
21:04
on the well-being of Doctor Spencer Tepi who had not shown
21:07
up to work. Officers arrived and found
21:10
Doctor Tepi and his wife Monique Tepi, deceased inside suffering
21:14
from gunshot wounds. 2 minor children were found inside the
21:18
home physically unharmed. Columbus Fire medic #7 responded
21:22
and pronounced both victims deceased at 10:11 AM Columbus
21:27
Police Homicide Unit Team 2 was advised, responded and initiated
21:31
an investigation. During the subsequent
21:33
investigation, detectives were able to identify a suspect
21:36
through neighborhood video surveillance.
21:39
The suspect was tracked to a vehicle which arrived just prior
21:43
to the homicides and left shortly after the homicides.
21:46
Detectives were able to identify this vehicle further and link it
21:50
to Michael McKee. Detectives located the vehicle
21:53
in Rockford, IL and found evidence of McKee in possession
21:57
of the vehicle prior to and after the homicides.
22:00
Now keep in mind, this is just the information they decided to
22:04
include in the affidavit of probable cause in order to get a
22:07
judge to sign off on an on an arrest warrant.
22:12
It's likely, I think in Ohio, what's going to happen is Mr.
22:17
McKee is going to be indicted. I he'll, he'll be arraigned and
22:24
then it will be presented to a grand jury.
22:26
I believe the other option is perhaps there will be a
22:33
preliminary hearing if he doesn't waive it.
22:36
And in that preliminary hearing, the prosecution will put forward
22:41
more probable cause information likely, but probably not their
22:46
whole case. So we really don't don't have
22:52
all the information here. OK, back to the Daily Mail.
22:57
Detectives trace the vehicle to Rockford, IL, where McKee works
23:01
as a vascular surgeon at OSF St. Anthony Medical Center, and
23:06
found he had been in possession of the vehicle before and after
23:09
the homicides. McKee was subsequently arrested
23:11
in Rockford without incident, meaning he went peacefully and
23:16
booked into the Winnebago County Jail.
23:17
Police set. The couple's family's remarks
23:21
come after Mckee's neighbor said she was left stunned after
23:25
hearing the surgeon had been accused of killing the Tepes
23:29
Gerald Lynn Kolarek. I, I'm Miss Kolarek Kolarek, I
23:35
apologize if I put you to your name, a neighbor of McKee at his
23:39
upscale Illinois apartment block told ABC Seven.
23:43
I ought to show you guys this. Let me let me show you.
23:48
This address is 2100 N Lincoln Park, W 2100 N Lincoln Park
23:54
West. Give me just one second, I'll
23:59
bring it up on a map. 2100 N Lincoln Park West Chicago.
24:11
OK, First off, going over to your website, look where we are
24:20
in the Chicagoland area, OK, north of downtown Chicago, right
24:25
on Lake Superior and see where we are Lake MI, I'm sorry.
24:30
And see where we are in the world, right?
24:33
Oh, I bet you geography people are like Lake Superior.
24:36
Gavin what the Devil Lake, MI And then if we go in, I think
24:45
the best place to put our little Google guy is here.
24:52
And we spin around there. This this is the building right
24:57
here. And I think I can even back up
25:01
just a little bit more and look back at the building that's 2100
25:08
N Lincoln Park West. This area over here is all
25:12
Lincoln Park. It is a very desirable
25:15
neighborhood. The cardiovascular, Well,
25:18
actually I think he's just a vascular surgeon.
25:20
I don't know that he's a cardiovascular surgeon.
25:22
Maybe is, but the Daily Mail described him as cardiovascular.
25:25
And I don't know the difference between a vascular surgeon and
25:27
cardiovascular. Gavin.
25:29
OK, so let's go back over here to here to Jeralyn Kolarik
25:38
saying let's see. She told ABC 7 she was
25:44
devastated to hear the news and expressed her disbelief that
25:47
McKee was accused of murder because he, quote, did not seem
25:51
like somebody who would do something like this. close
25:53
quote. And I understand what she's
25:55
saying. I get it.
25:57
There's some people where you're like, yeah, you're murder
26:00
totally. Yeah, I get it.
26:01
But some people that surprise us, I guess.
26:05
In fact, on Saturday, when we joined in an impromptu,
26:10
unscheduled live stream, many of you corrected my thinking when I
26:15
was like, what the what the Huh. He's a cardio.
26:19
He's a vascular surgeon. They haven't been married since
26:22
forever. He's got licenses in many
26:25
states. He was a standout academic in
26:28
high school. He went to the Ohio State
26:30
University. You know, it was like he had
26:32
everything together. What would make this guy, this
26:35
guy, do the deed? And and I was correctly, I guess
26:45
what's the word corrected correctly corrected, Gavin, Come
26:48
on, let me see if I can get a good screen grab of him here.
26:58
Well, it let's see there he is. It's just so hard to there,
27:07
right there, there he is, right there.
27:10
Anyway, I was corrected. You're like, you know what?
27:13
People who are high achievers, maybe they're coercively
27:16
controlling too. And that reminded me, oh, my
27:20
goodness. Oh, my goodness, guys.
27:23
You got to forgive me here. That's right.
27:28
Another tangent. OK, I was talking to somebody
27:31
who shall remain nameless but I I will say is a high achiever
27:39
and is married to a high achiever and this person told me
27:46
I shall refer to them as they them as to not give away the the
27:52
gender. They told me never chase the
27:59
high school high achievers, they peak too early and they got
28:02
issues. Get those that achieve later in
28:10
life right? It was really funny.
28:13
I thought it was funny anyway. So yeah, maybe he's just a very
28:18
controlling dude, who knows? So the neighbor recalled.
28:25
I sat down with this man. I talked to him at the pool,
28:27
barbecuing. It's kind of shocking.
28:29
Kolarek said she was heartbroken for the couple's two young
28:32
children. How do you explain to a child
28:35
that mom and dad are here one day and gone the next?
28:37
She said. Those are real victims of this
28:40
whole case here, the children. And she is correct.
28:44
These are. I've blurred out their faces.
28:47
I think they need to remain anonymous.
28:50
They need to keep their privacy. But that little 4 year old, that
28:55
little one year old, Yeah. How do you how do you just say
29:00
Mommy's not ever coming back, Daddy, Daddy won't be here ever
29:04
again. It's tough.
29:07
And I'm the son of a of a man who was told that, who was told
29:12
his father was dead when he was 7.
29:17
I'm telling you it's send it that.
29:21
And of course not in a violent, murdery manner.
29:25
My grandfather died in an accident, so it's different, but
29:30
still we as a family have felt that loss now for well, that was
29:39
1956, so 70 years, or it will be 70 years this year.
29:48
So anyway, yeah, she's absolutely correct.
29:51
Following the arrest of McKee, the Tempe family said in a
29:54
statement that the arrest quote represents an important step
29:57
toward justice for Monique and Spencer.
30:00
Nothing can undo the devastating loss of two lives taken far too
30:04
soon. The family said the shooting
30:06
sparked an urgent manhunt that included investigators releasing
30:10
footage. Yet we all saw that Cops did
30:13
reveal there was no sign of forced entry or the supposed
30:17
murder weapon. But police did find three 9mm
30:21
shell casings at the scene. They said they did not believe
30:24
the deaths to be a murder suicide.
30:27
And I'm sure that there have been search warrants sworn out
30:32
and returned on his different residences because he up until
30:40
recently was practicing in Nevada.
30:42
He's been practicing as far as my memory serves, Virginia.
30:51
He had, he had a license in California, right?
30:54
So he had different residences. I, I'm sure they're trying to
30:57
track down, down that gun. Let's see if there's anything
31:03
else. Choo Choo Choo Choo.
31:06
Mckee's mug shot was shared on the Winnebago County Sheriff's
31:10
Office website, which showed he was booked into jail on Saturday
31:13
just before noon, and then he appeared in court today.
31:20
Monique, then under her maiden name Sabatursky, was married to
31:24
McKee briefly from August 2015, with pictures shared on social
31:28
media of the couple on their wedding day on August 22nd.
31:31
The couple had no children and separated seven months later in
31:34
March 2016. In the complaint for divorce,
31:38
the plaintiff Monique stated they were incompatible.
31:42
Divorce documents viewed by Daily Mail showed proceedings
31:46
started in May 2017 and were quickly wrapped up by June.
31:50
Yeah, that man, that is quick. The documents reveal he paid for
31:54
her engagement and wedding rings and listed them as his separate
31:57
property, stating he paid $2500 for the engagement ring and
32:01
$3500 for the wedding ring. The couple separation agreement
32:05
included a a requirement that Monique had to pay him a key
32:09
$1281.59 back for miscellaneous debt with the added clause that
32:16
if she did not reimburse him by July 1st, 2018 she would be hit
32:21
with 23% interest. Wow, very specific.
32:28
Must have been on a credit card or something.
32:33
When the pair filed for divorce, they were living in different
32:35
states, with Monique living in Westerville, OH, close to her
32:40
parents Ignatius and Narita Sabatursky, and working for
32:44
Nationwide. McKee lived in Roanoke, VA,
32:48
working for the Carillion Clinic.
32:51
He was listed in the documents as practicing as a vascular
32:54
surgeon at the OSF Cardiovascular Institute.
32:59
When the divorce documents were filed, they also included a
33:02
standard mutual temporary restraining order requiring both
33:06
parties to refrain from harassing, interfering with,
33:09
assaulting, or doing bodily harm to the other spouse.
33:13
I think that Mister McKee was unsuccessful in living up to
33:18
that endeavor. The exes paid their own attorney
33:21
fees and Monique paid the filing fee and fee for a private judge
33:24
in a bid to expedite the proceedings privately.
33:28
A police spokesman told the Daily Mail that no further
33:30
information will be released at this time so as to not
33:33
compromise the active and ongoing case progress.
33:36
He said more information would be released when appropriate.
33:41
And this this article came out yesterday and so it talks about
33:46
the public visitation set for noon to three yesterday,
33:52
followed by a celebration of life, which as far as I know did
33:57
take place. Let's bring up the Tepes and let
34:02
us go over to your comments. Remember, if you put GF in your
34:06
comment, that will help me to see to see it on my end.
34:13
OK, Scrolling way back. Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling.
34:20
OK Navy Mama Deb says law enforcement said their time of
34:25
demise was 3:52 AM. Very specific indoor cameras
34:28
made possibly. Yeah.
34:29
I had wondered if there was if there were gunshots that may
34:33
have been heard by a neighbor or something like that.
34:35
Or, you know, an outdoor camera may have may have heard the
34:42
report of the gun as well. So yeah, possibly indoor
34:48
cameras. And you know what guys, we
34:50
should all have these things. Camera camera systems are cheap.
34:54
You don't have to subscribe to. And no, this is not sponsored.
34:59
I'm not, I'm not segmenting or segwaying over into a sponsored
35:05
segment. I'm just saying we don't have to
35:08
pay for expensive security systems anymore in order to have
35:13
good high definition, sometimes ultra high definition footage,
35:17
sometimes ultra high definition footage in the dark.
35:21
We should have these things. We should make these investments
35:24
into our homes. G smile.
35:29
Sarah says. I joined the live just in time
35:31
for the tangent. Well, I'm glad I I hope you
35:33
enjoyed it. Glad you did, Darlene says.
35:36
Why not treat yourself to a Big Gulp once a day?
35:38
It won't kill you, don't you think?
35:40
Here's the thing. Actually, I did a short about
35:42
this earlier today and you guys have been so awesome.
35:48
I am an all or nothing kind of guy and when I decided that I
35:55
was going to lose weight, I just decided to go all in and people
36:00
have been asking me. This is a bit of a tangent, but
36:02
you guys have already seen that three times or twice.
36:05
It doesn't need to be 3 times. This, this is what was I saying.
36:11
I'm an all or nothing kind of guy, right?
36:13
When I decided that I was going to lose weight, I cut out
36:18
everything that I I knew was making me gain weight.
36:25
And the fizzy sugar he drinks was, was, you know, perpetrator
36:32
#1 as far as I'm concerned, persona non grata, Sedona non
36:37
grata #1 It's very important to me.
36:39
I got rid of it now. I still love it.
36:41
And eventually I will get back to it.
36:43
But for now, I got to stay away from it because I'm doing this
36:46
all not to raw, right? I'm eating Whole Foods.
36:50
I am doing, I'm not eating very many calories in a day.
36:55
It's it's way, way back from where I was.
36:59
It's up from where I cut it originally.
37:02
And, and I'm exercising. So that's what?
37:05
So, yeah. Don't tempt me, Darlene.
37:08
Darlene's tempting me. Everybody tell Darlene to stop
37:11
the temptation. I'm going to stick away from it.
37:16
OK. Scrolling down to the old
37:21
Patricia Burns. Do you have a window open?
37:23
If not open, one. Your body is craving higher
37:26
level of oxygen than is in the room you're in.
37:29
Maybe that's it. Of course, I live in western
37:32
Pennsylvania where it is so freaking cold.
37:37
Maybe I should, Patricia, maybe I should.
37:40
It's that this yawning is killing me, man.
37:45
Libu Grizzly arrived a little late today, watching from
37:48
Brazil. Ashley Banfield looked through
37:50
the divorce docs and Monique listed her engagement and
37:53
wedding rings as assets and stated she paid for them.
37:56
Interesting because what we just read was the opposite.
38:00
That's really funny. Miss Chivo's dragon says this is
38:04
also my first Gavin Fish life. Welcome Miss Dragon.
38:08
I'm only getting back into true crime since the Reiner murders.
38:11
Oh, and we've covered them at length and we will continue to
38:14
cover. It's oh, how tragic, right?
38:18
Just tragic. Brian Rambles, Thank you very
38:21
much for sending that gift membership.
38:23
So awesome you're a terrific person a Hyneman 9138 says I
38:31
believe he specializes in varicose veins and other non
38:34
heart cardiovascular would specialize in the heart.
38:37
Thank you for that clarity appreciate that Hyneman Sharky
38:42
Sharona thank you for sending those gift memberships.
38:46
Guys are awesome. Do we know what sports McKee
38:52
played in the past? I'm wondering if if he had
38:57
concussions, history of concussions.
39:02
I don't know. I do not know.
39:09
Let's see. I'm going to just keep on going
39:11
until we get to the last. Yeah.
39:14
Heineman says she paid for the rings, but the Daily Mail
39:18
reported it differently. So I guess, I guess I would have
39:25
to look at those divorce docs, too, to see.
39:32
Yeah, you guys are all. You're all kind of clued on
39:34
that. She paid for the rings, not him.
39:37
I should tell you the story of Kimberly's ring one of these
39:41
days. I'm a terrible person.
39:45
How does he qualify for the public defender?
39:47
That is interesting. This is a vascular surgeon.
39:50
How, indeed. Did he qualify for a public
39:54
defender? Or did they just go, you know
39:56
what? Just put a public defender on
39:58
him so that we can get him out of our state?
40:00
I wonder if that's. I wonder if that's what it is.
40:06
Emmy Nikolov says. The Carillion Clinic reminds me
40:10
of Morgan Harrington. Chaos Mama.
40:15
I've wondered if there was a smart watch that showed when the
40:18
heart stopped. Oh.
40:20
Oh, what a great comment, guys. As Joseph Scott Morgan is fond
40:24
of telling us, this is the future of forensics, right?
40:28
Is digital forensics. Maybe, maybe that's it.
40:31
Maybe one of them or both of them were wearing smartwatches
40:34
that detected when they expired. Yeah, it's possible.
40:40
Possible, possible and and I think even probable.
40:46
D9072, Gavin, all or nothing, you need to work for balance or
40:50
when you get to your goal weight, it will come right back.
40:52
I promise you. I am.
40:55
I am well aware of what I am doing.
41:00
Well aware. I'm.
41:02
I'm in it for the long haul. Thank you.
41:04
And then Catherine Fitzpatrick also says she paid for the rings
41:08
the exact time of death. May be a Fitbit watch or other
41:11
body monitoring device. Just a thought.
41:13
Good, good, good, good. And Rin Tin Tins also says the
41:20
Doctor X did not pay for the wedding and engagement rings.
41:23
Monique did. Hey, Hyneman, time to acquire
41:27
taste for black coffee or tea. I'm just not a not a coffee or
41:30
tea guy. I think.
41:32
I think you know what I will do every once in a while.
41:35
It's been a actually, it's been a long time.
41:37
I will do matte. I'll do Giada matte the, the
41:40
proper way, the Argentine way, but I don't know.
41:44
I've, I've lived without caffeine for five months.
41:46
It's it's kind of great. Gavin, he did play football and
41:52
basketball in his high school. And that's right.
41:55
We did read that on Saturday. I, I read that too.
41:58
You're right. Thank you for reminding me of
42:00
that. Beach Ferry says hello from
42:03
England. By the way, after watching your
42:04
last live on replay, I, I emailed you new questions for
42:07
three questions. I got a lot of new questions for
42:10
three questions, which we are going to get into.
42:13
Actually, I don't even think that I could have created a
42:18
better transition. I couldn't have.
42:21
Let's get in three questions. Pow.
42:31
OK guys, on three questions, what we do is we I answer three
42:35
of your questions. I solemnly promise that I will
42:39
do so to the best of my ability, that I will not dodge questions,
42:42
that when I get them I will answer them.
42:45
And what I ask of you in return is to send me the questions.
42:49
That's the first part, Part A, this is like A, this is like a
42:53
two-part epoxy. OK.
42:55
Part A is that you send me questions to three questions at
42:58
gavinfish.com. It's spelled out THREE questions
43:01
at gavinfish.com, three questions at gavinfish.com and I
43:05
will endeavor to answer those. Part B of this amazing strong
43:10
epoxy resin that we are creating here is that you also answer the
43:15
questions in the live chat so I can see what your answers are.
43:21
I find that delightful. So here we go.
43:24
Let's move on to question number one.
43:27
Question number one is I saw your interview on crime analyst
43:30
with Laura Richards. Laura is somebody who I really
43:33
admire. I love her to death and I'm
43:35
wondering is there next step with the Alan Greenberg case
43:39
that you're working on or is it basically a dead end to hope for
43:42
change Now I'm kind of in a holding pattern personally, but
43:48
that does not mean that the case is in a holding pattern.
43:55
The actually I should not what I'm about to share with you is
43:59
not fact that I know it's what I suspect.
44:03
OK, because anytime I've asked, I've been told I'm not giving.
44:07
I've been told no comment. OK.
44:12
I believe there will be another lawsuit filed by Joe Pedraza and
44:18
Will Trask. Let me bring up, these are the
44:23
lawyers for Josh and Sandy Greenberg, the parents of Ellen
44:29
Greenberg. I believe that there will be
44:33
another lawsuit and there needs to be another lawsuit.
44:37
So, so yeah, in addition to that, I think that there are
44:44
efforts they are endeavouring to try to get this case federalized
44:50
somehow. I think it's possible to be
44:55
done. There are investigators that
44:59
want to investigate this, and I think that I will see the arrest
45:07
of a suspect. My suspect is probably the same
45:10
as your suspect, but he's not an official suspect.
45:14
Great question and thank you for sending it in.
45:18
Question #2 If you could go back in time to witness but not
45:21
interact with or change a single memory, what would you choose?
45:26
Like my own life, a memory from my own life.
45:31
Oh man, if I could go back in time just to witness it, like
45:36
I'd, I'd be standing away and watching it happen.
45:43
You know, when I was really little, 3 or 4, and I was just
45:48
reminded of this recently because I was going through old
45:51
things and I found, Do you guys remember those, those little
45:55
books? What are they called?
45:57
They have like the golden, they're called Little Golden
45:59
Books. That's what they have, the
46:01
golden spine. I found one of those packed in
46:04
my things and I opened it up and in my mom's handwriting it says
46:08
given to Gavin had a date when when he had his appendix out.
46:14
I was a bit of a sickly child and I would love to see how my
46:22
parents, I would love to watch what my parents did.
46:26
I already know that they did amazingly because I know my
46:31
parents, but I would love to watch that interaction, what my
46:35
parents were doing as I was hospitalized when I was little.
46:39
I bet they were amazing. And I bet it was AI bet it was a
46:42
sight to see. And they were young.
46:43
They were in their 20s, right? I was born in 75.
46:48
Yeah, they were in their 20s. I think that would be pretty
46:54
awesome. Now.
46:57
Oh, but that's not my Well, I remember being in the hospital.
47:00
Yeah, that qualifies. I'd like to know what memory you
47:02
would choose. There are other things like I, I
47:13
don't know, I guess the first time I saw Kim really would be
47:19
cool to see what my face looked like, but I looked freaking
47:24
Twitterpated. That's funny.
47:27
Tell me what memory you would choose.
47:28
I love that last question. If you could have any obscure,
47:33
unusual, non monetizable talent, what would it be?
47:40
OK, my mouth is dry. Hang on, I know I got this one
47:48
first. I was thinking like unlimited
47:51
number of things to juggle, but I don't I don't care about that
47:54
all that much. But there is a movie with James
47:58
Garner. What is the name of the actor
48:01
that played Colonel Potter on MASH?
48:06
You guys know who I'm talking about.
48:07
This is an old movie with James Garner.
48:09
It's called Support Your Local Sheriff.
48:11
And it is it is awesome. OK, It's it's part of a there's
48:18
also support your local gunfighter.
48:20
And then Maverick became a thing anyway, support your local
48:23
sheriff. There's a scene where James
48:26
Garner takes a washer. He flips it in the air.
48:30
He drives his gun, he shoots it and he catches the washer and
48:32
he's like, the bullet went through the hole in the middle.
48:35
And then he's like, Harry Potter was like, I, I can't remember
48:38
the name of that actor. Like, well, maybe it didn't.
48:41
Maybe it didn't. He put some tape on it and then
48:43
he flipped it up and he's like, comes down and it did.
48:45
He shot through it. And I was like, dude, I don't
48:49
know. I would love, I would love that
48:50
trick marksmanship kind of stuff.
48:52
The Annie Oakley kind of stuff. Yeah.
48:54
I'd be totally down with that. I'd love to hear Harry Morgan.
48:57
Thank you. Ohio Pom mom.
48:59
Harry Morgan is the name of the actor.
49:04
Yeah. I don't know.
49:05
Just like sharpshooting old cowboy, Old West kind of kind of
49:10
showy stuff. That'd be fun.
49:14
I'm actually pretty good marksman, but I'm not throw a
49:16
thing up in the air Pew and catch it and it went through the
49:19
hole in the center. I'm not that guy.
49:21
Nobody is that guy. So I want that obscure, unusual,
49:25
non monetizable talent. Now while you guys are click
49:30
clacking away putting in your answers to the three questions
49:34
with GF before you put them, let's get into some headline
49:38
shall we? True prime headline pow.
49:48
So remember to put GF in your comment, answer those questions,
49:51
those three questions. I'd love to hear your answers in
49:54
the comments and giving you a little bit of time.
49:56
We're going to go over some headlines.
49:58
Let's go over here this. We all know that Melody Buzzard
50:04
was in court last week, but this article had a piece from it's
50:14
this highlighted piece. Outside the courthouse, Melody's
50:18
paternal grandmother, Lily Dennis, spoke publicly about the
50:23
case and reflected on her early impressions of Buzzard,
50:26
according to The Independent. When I met, when I met her 9 or
50:30
10 years ago, she was not like this.
50:32
I don't know what happened, Dennis said.
50:35
Dennis recalled the first time her son, Rubio Mesa, brought
50:37
Buzzard to the family home. When my son brought her to the
50:41
house, she was really quiet and just looking at me from head to
50:44
toe, Dennis said. I told my son, Miko, is this
50:47
lady, is this girl OK? She's just staring.
50:51
Dennis said. Mesa, who later died in a
50:52
motorcycle accident while Melody was still an infant, dismissed
50:56
her concerns at the time, telling her his girlfriend was
50:59
simply shy. She told The Independent that
51:02
while she does not see much of Buzzard.
51:04
While she did not see much of Buzzard.
51:06
Afterward, the family embraced Melody, including hosting a
51:09
large baby shower. All my family came.
51:12
Dennis said. That can tell you how much we
51:14
loved her. We loved our baby very much.
51:17
Dennis also questioned any potential insanity defense,
51:20
saying she believes the crime was planned.
51:22
I don't think that's right because she planned everything.
51:25
Dennis said, referencing allegations that Buzzard
51:28
switched license plates on a rental car during a road trip
51:31
with Melody. Investigators have said Melody
51:35
was considered at risk after she failed to appear at school and
51:38
her whereabouts could not be verified.
51:40
So I, I, if there is an insanity defense coming here, I think it
51:44
will be a very high bar to meet. I really do.
51:50
I don't think she'll make it OK. Remember our pal Barry Morphew,
51:55
the alleged murderer of his wife Suzanne Morphew with Bam the
52:02
tranquilizer? He's in court today.
52:09
Alamosa, Co. Barry Morphew was in court for
52:11
an arraignment hearing Monday afternoon.
52:13
He pleaded not guilty. Morphew is charged with one
52:16
count of first degree murder in connection with the death of his
52:18
wife, Suzanne Morphew. This is the second time Barry
52:22
Morphew is facing a potential murder trial.
52:25
He was previously arrested and charged in Suzanne's death in
52:28
May 2021, even though her body had not been found yet.
52:32
Days before his trial was set to begin, charges were dropped by
52:35
prosecutors and Morphew was released from custody.
52:40
Her remains were later found and he was indicted.
52:43
So Barry Morphew has pleaded not guilty of.
52:48
Final headline of the day comes from crimecod.com, my true crime
52:52
website written by Jacob Charles.
52:55
This one just. I cannot believe this.
52:59
Prosecutors say man hid in estranged wife's home before
53:03
killing her with cyanide. What is it with estranged
53:10
spouses? OK Mineola, NY Prosecutors say a
53:14
New York man slipped into his estranged wife's home after she
53:17
left to take their children to school, waited until she was
53:20
alone and then killed her by forcing her to inhale cyanide in
53:25
what authorities described as one of the most disturbing
53:27
domestic homicide cases they have seen.
53:31
According to the Nassau County District Attorney's Office, Asif
53:34
Qureshi, 53, was arraigned on a grand jury indictment charging
53:38
him with second degree murder and two counts of first degree
53:41
burglary in connection with the death of 46 year old Alina.
53:45
Asif Qureshi pleaded not guilty before Judge Terrence Murphy and
53:49
was remanded. He's scheduled to return to
53:52
court on the 18th of February. Oh my goodness.
53:56
And you can get more, more information.
53:59
But allegedly, his wife unlocked the front.
54:04
Let's see, let's see. Authorities say that after she
54:05
left, Qureshi, who did not live in the home and was estranged
54:08
from his wife, allegedly unlocked the front door and
54:11
entered the house. Prosecutors said he was dressed
54:13
in a dark coated jacket, baseball cap, black gloves and a
54:15
mask and was carrying a red and white tote bag.
54:19
Dude. So yeah, read more about that
54:22
and other true crime stories on crime COD.
54:24
Those are headlines, true crime headlines.
54:35
Wow. OK, let's go back over to your
54:40
your comments here, I guess Harry Morgan.
54:44
Thanks, guys. And Murray Jubinville says 6
54:48
month a fanatic. I was also sickly child.
54:51
I was born with spina bifida and had to have many surgeries.
54:54
So grateful for modern medicine. Maybe I was thinking of James
55:01
Garner because we mentioned the Rockford Files.
55:03
But Support Your Local Sheriff is one of my very favorite
55:06
movies of all time. Perhaps my favorite movie of all
55:10
time was ATV movie called The Shadow Riders with Sam Elliott
55:14
and Tom Selleck. Second only to that would be
55:19
Support your local sheriff. I love it.
55:23
It's me, Shawna says. I grew up on MASH.
55:25
My dad was a dead ringer for Hawkeye.
55:27
Nice nice Rin Tin Tin's refuge still looking out for me.
55:35
Per AI, yawning is thought to be controlled by neurons in the
55:38
hippo thalamus, triggering the reflex.
55:41
This may help regulate body temp, increase alertness or
55:44
message changes in physiological states.
55:47
All right, all right. Catherine Fitzpatrick says early
55:53
memory is winter time at night, bundled in the snowsuit.
55:56
Being a toddler in my most awesome car seat with my own
56:00
steering wheel, with my dad who taking me with him on an errand.
56:04
What a beautiful memory. I love it.
56:09
I love it, Emily, says. Gavin, if you considered a
56:14
tangents only stream, maybe I should do that as a members
56:19
only. Like this is just going to be a
56:20
tangent stream. That's funny.
56:24
Lady Hawk and Labyrinth are top movies for Mooney.
56:29
Yeah, I was tempted to watch Lady Hawk pretty recently.
56:33
I I almost did it. I just I wasn't in the mood for
56:37
the music. That's really what it boiled
56:39
down to for me. If we could take Lady Hawk,
56:42
let's just take Lady Hawk and D 80s.
56:46
If I the music, it would be an all time classic.
56:50
But with that music, man, it is. It's stuck right there in the
56:54
80s. Now.
56:54
I like visiting the 80s from time to time.
56:56
I just could not do it. Anybody else answer any of the
57:02
three questions? I you guys, you guys got to
57:07
answer those three questions. That's OK.
57:08
That's OK. We had a fun time together and I
57:10
appreciate your comments. Oh, and yes, Batgirl, Sam
57:18
Elliott and Tom Selleck, those might be the 2 greatest
57:22
mustaches of all time. I mean, I mean, of all time,
57:28
they're just so, so good. Patricia Burns.
57:33
Oh, you're welcome. Money.
57:34
Patricia Burns says The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is a fantastic
57:37
indeed, Indeed it is. And the best, the best vignette
57:41
in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is the first one with Buster
57:44
Scruggs. I love it.
57:47
I can watch it over and over and over again.
