Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 0:06Speaker 2: In the case of a young dentist and his young
- 0:09Speaker 2: wife murdered in their own home with their two little
- 0:16Speaker 2: children in the home to find mommy and daddy dead.
- 0:23Speaker 2: Could they have even witnessed the murders? As of tonight,
- 0:27Speaker 2: a murder suicide has been ruled out. And I can
- 0:31Speaker 2: tell you why. It's not unusual angles of the bullets
- 0:35Speaker 2: or their trajectory path. It's not that sophisticated because there's
- 0:41Speaker 2: no weapon. The weapon's gone. They're both shot dead, one
- 0:46Speaker 2: of them multiple times, possibly both, but there's no weapon
- 0:49Speaker 2: there on the scene, so obviously somebody else did it.
- 0:53Speaker 2: And tonight, a starter marriage, what does that have to
- 0:58Speaker 2: do with a double homicide? A starter marriage is right,
- 1:01Speaker 2: it's your first try. It's brief, it happened a long
- 1:04Speaker 2: time ago. It doesn't really count. That's what you call
- 1:06Speaker 2: a starter marriage. So how does that factor into a
- 1:10Speaker 2: double murder? I mean, it's he Grace, this is Crime Stories,
- 1:14Speaker 2: and I want to thank you for being with us.
- 1:16Speaker 3: There's a body our friend wasn't in transphone. We just
- 1:20Speaker 3: did a well a ship. We just get here. Anytime
- 1:23Speaker 3: he appears.
- 1:25Speaker 2: The dentist and his wife gun down children upstairs.
- 1:28Speaker 3: Oh, there's a body of this body.
- 1:30Speaker 4: Here's a body inside.
- 1:32Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:33Speaker 2: If only I could have reached through this camera and
- 1:36Speaker 2: get my hands a little finger necklace for the dispatch
- 1:41Speaker 2: officer that was taking these calls. Why am I angry?
- 1:44Speaker 2: You'll see listen.
- 1:46Speaker 5: I guess I would like to ask for a wellness
- 1:50Speaker 5: check on an individual at their home. This individual, Spener,
- 1:54Speaker 5: works with me, and he did not show up to
- 1:56Speaker 5: work this morning, and we cannot get a hold of
- 1:58Speaker 5: him or his family. He is always on time when
- 2:00Speaker 5: he would contact us that there is any issues whatsoever,
- 2:04Speaker 5: and at the center a house to say this like,
- 2:09Speaker 5: we're very, very concerned because this is very out of character.
- 2:12Speaker 5: And we can't get in Dutch with his wife, which
- 2:13Speaker 5: is probably the more concerning thing.
- 2:15Speaker 6: When doctor Spencer Tempe doesn't show up for work at
- 2:18Speaker 6: Athens Dental Depot in Columbus, Ohio, coworkers are so shocked
- 2:22Speaker 6: they call their boss, the owner of Athens d doctor
- 2:24Speaker 6: Mark Valrose. Valrose is on vacation in Florida, but Spencer
- 2:28Speaker 6: not showing up is so unusual coworkers felt the need
- 2:31Speaker 6: to let Valrose know. Valroz tries to contact Spencer and
- 2:35Speaker 6: failing at that, Teppi's wife Monique, as she's even more
- 2:38Speaker 6: predictable than her husband. Unable to reach either, Teppe, Valrose
- 2:42Speaker 6: calls nine to one one in Columbus, Ohio at nine
- 2:44Speaker 6: oh three am, requesting a wellness check.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Okay, Susan Hendrix joining me before I go to the
- 2:49Speaker 2: whole panel, investigative reporter and author of Down the Hill,
- 2:55Speaker 2: My Descent into the Double Murder in Delphi, which is
- 2:57Speaker 2: the definitive book on the Delphi Double Mine of Abby
- 3:01Speaker 2: and Libby, Susan. But you didn't hear in that snippet
- 3:04Speaker 2: of the nine one one call that I just played.
- 3:06Speaker 2: You've got the coworker going, this is really bizarre for
- 3:08Speaker 2: him not to be here. The dispatcher says, and I quote, Okay,
- 3:13Speaker 2: we'll send somebody over as soon as we have an
- 3:15Speaker 2: officer available. It's Columbus, Ohio. They don't have police that
- 3:21Speaker 2: can come over.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Translation.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Ah, he doesn't answer the phone. We're not worried. We'll
- 3:29Speaker 2: get to you when we get to you. That's where
- 3:32Speaker 2: it starts with this woman.
- 3:34Speaker 7: Her job is not to have preconceived notions about what
- 3:37Speaker 7: she believes.
- 3:38Speaker 8: It's to answer the nine to one one calls and
- 3:40Speaker 8: get help there, and it appears she's bothered by it
- 3:42Speaker 8: all downplaying.
- 3:44Speaker 7: What these people friends of Monique and Spencer are saying.
- 3:48Speaker 9: We need help.
- 3:48Speaker 7: Something is wrong.
- 3:50Speaker 2: And you know Greg Morris joining me veteran try a lawyer,
- 3:53Speaker 2: criminal defense attorney at Morse Legal. He's the founder of that.
- 3:56Speaker 2: He is the author of Untested on Amazon. Veteran trial
- 4:02Speaker 2: lawyer Greg. This is the deal. There's something called routine evidence,
- 4:09Speaker 2: not routine as in typical routine evidence. It's evidence of
- 4:12Speaker 2: someone's routine. For instance, if I go to Greg Morse
- 4:18Speaker 2: and I look and instead of seeing you, I see
- 4:22Speaker 2: an empty chair, I know something's very wrong. That's not
- 4:26Speaker 2: your routine. You're always there and prepared, usually with a
- 4:31Speaker 2: snarky comment, but you're prepared, so that would be highly unusual,
- 4:36Speaker 2: and I would immediately try to find out what's wrong
- 4:39Speaker 2: with Morse. See what I mean. It's your routine from
- 4:44Speaker 2: which you do not deviate. But this nine one one
- 4:46Speaker 2: is like, yeah, I'll send somebody. When I got somebody, well.
- 4:51Speaker 10: It's it's because it came in as a wellness check,
- 4:54Speaker 10: not as a nine to one one. There's an emergency
- 4:57Speaker 10: right now, So That's probably why the non when one
- 5:00Speaker 10: operator you know, puts it in the queue for police
- 5:04Speaker 10: to get out there, and they may have been dealing
- 5:05Speaker 10: with some other emergencies. That's the unfortunate nature of the
- 5:08Speaker 10: way the call came in. It came in as a
- 5:10Speaker 10: wellness check. A lot of times wellness checks turn out fine,
- 5:13Speaker 10: so they probably didn't put a high priority on it
- 5:16Speaker 10: at the time, and that's because of the way the
- 5:18Speaker 10: call came in. So I don't know if it's nine
- 5:20Speaker 10: one one's fault there as much as it is that
- 5:24Speaker 10: the nature of the type of call that came in.
- 5:28Speaker 11: So you know, everybody wants to you're right.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Right now, enjoy this moment. Favorite. I'm saying you're right
- 5:36Speaker 2: based on that call alone, But it escalates, And maybe
- 5:40Speaker 2: that's why I'm so angry, because I know what's in
- 5:43Speaker 2: the content of the rest of the nine one one calls.
- 5:46Speaker 2: And you might want to hold with withhold judgment morse,
- 5:49Speaker 2: because I can see a savvy defense attorney using the
- 5:53Speaker 2: nine to one one dispatches bad attitude and lack of
- 5:59Speaker 2: urgent see as part of a defense. But hold on,
- 6:06Speaker 2: I want you to hear more of the nine one
- 6:08Speaker 2: one call hey, Ron Bateman joining me, former homicide and
- 6:11Speaker 2: undercover narc former sheriff, author of a new book, Opposing Sides,
- 6:16Speaker 2: Memoirs of a Drug Dealer and a Detective, Ron Bateman,
- 6:22Speaker 2: Thank you for being with us. Ron. It's got to
- 6:27Speaker 2: drive you crazy when you hear a disinterested nine one
- 6:32Speaker 2: one dispatch, because the time that they waste on a
- 6:36Speaker 2: case could be the difference in life and death.
- 6:41Speaker 12: True, and mister Morris does have a good point. It
- 6:44Speaker 12: is a wellness check which we get hundreds of a day,
- 6:48Speaker 12: and ninety nine point nine percent of them turn out
- 6:51Speaker 12: to be nothing whatsoever. So this is and the empathy
- 6:56Speaker 12: or the lack of empathy in her voice is a
- 7:00Speaker 12: it's I know it's troubling to the average person, but
- 7:03Speaker 12: you got to understand what they deal with every single day,
- 7:06Speaker 12: and getting a wellness check call is much, uh less
- 7:13Speaker 12: dramatic than the other calls that they deal with NonStop.
- 7:16Speaker 12: You know, someone being beaten, someone you know just got,
- 7:19Speaker 12: you know, in a terrible car accident, they're pinned in
- 7:21Speaker 12: a car. A wellness check that's put across like that.
- 7:24Speaker 12: The way the way the caller did is very matter
- 7:27Speaker 12: of fact. So I understand why you could get upset
- 7:30Speaker 12: because you know the outcome. However, it's you know, it's
- 7:34Speaker 12: the outcome is not known by the dispatcher or the
- 7:36Speaker 12: call taker at that point, so.
- 7:38Speaker 11: It is in Q.
- 7:39Speaker 12: My question would be how long did it take for
- 7:42Speaker 12: the response? If the response was two or three minutes,
- 7:45Speaker 12: then that's normal in a in a non emergency call. So, uh,
- 7:50Speaker 12: mister Morris is pretty pretty much right on the mark.
- 7:53Speaker 4: Let's be emergency there. Our our boss did not report
- 7:57Speaker 4: to work. We hadn't been able to get.
- 7:59Speaker 2: Ahold of him for three hour.
- 8:00Speaker 3: We are on site and we can hear.
- 8:02Speaker 4: Okay, I wanted somebody there. Okay, I'm just making sure
- 8:05Speaker 4: somebody calls.
- 8:06Speaker 13: The officers arrive at the Tepee residence at nine twenty
- 8:09Speaker 13: two am. Officers knock on the front door multiple times
- 8:12Speaker 13: but get no response. Checking the door and windows, officers
- 8:16Speaker 13: see no sign of disturbance. At the back door, officers
- 8:20Speaker 13: again knock multiple times, no response, repeating the process. Officers
- 8:25Speaker 13: failed to get a response and file the report in
- 8:27Speaker 13: their log book. No response.
- 8:30Speaker 2: Okay, there's so many places got right there, Isn't it true? Say?
- 8:34Speaker 2: Isn't Henrick said they first went to the wrong address.
- 8:37Speaker 7: Yes, and I watched the body cam footage and I
- 8:40Speaker 7: mean he was thorough. He was just at the wrong address.
- 8:44Speaker 7: It was a mistake, a big mistake.
- 8:46Speaker 8: I mean, it's just compounding as we listened to this
- 8:49Speaker 8: and watch it unfold.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Listen to nine one one, one more time. Listen to
- 8:52Speaker 2: this tiny sniffet.
- 8:54Speaker 4: Let's see Amergincy there. Our boss did not report for work.
- 9:00Speaker 4: We haven't been able to get a hold of him
- 9:01Speaker 4: for three hours.
- 9:02Speaker 3: We are on site and we can hear.
- 9:03Speaker 4: Okay, I's just somebody there. Okay, I'm just making sure
- 9:07Speaker 4: somebody call them.
- 9:08Speaker 2: I mean, really, I just talked to somebody there, Like,
- 9:13Speaker 2: stop bothering me. My nails are drying. Just got Morgan
- 9:18Speaker 2: joining me. Professor forensic Jacksonville State University. He is the
- 9:22Speaker 2: author of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon. He is
- 9:25Speaker 2: the star of a hit podcast series, Body Bags with
- 9:28Speaker 2: Joseph Scott Morgan. But most important, he is a death
- 9:32Speaker 2: investigator with over ten thousand death scene evaluations under his belt.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Of all the possibilities, you've got natural causes, you've got suicide,
- 9:44Speaker 2: you have got accident, you've got unexplained and of course
- 9:49Speaker 2: you have homicide. And that's his job ten thousand times
- 9:54Speaker 2: plus determining cod cause of death. You know what, when
- 10:00Speaker 2: somebody's shot dead and they're bleeding out, one minute can
- 10:04Speaker 2: make a difference in life and death. Joke's god, Why.
- 10:09Speaker 14: Yeah, because you don't know if the person is in
- 10:13Speaker 14: fact salvage at that point in time. That's one of
- 10:15Speaker 14: the big things about this, Nancy, is that there are
- 10:17Speaker 14: a lot of unknowns involved in this. The one thing
- 10:21Speaker 14: I know is that this individual that's taken the call
- 10:24Speaker 14: is irritated by this. Because I'm not interested in your
- 10:27Speaker 14: personal problems about how you just took a call from there.
- 10:30Speaker 11: I could care less.
- 10:31Speaker 14: The appropriate response is, it's duly noted, we've got officers
- 10:35Speaker 14: en route. Okay, beyond that, there has to be an
- 10:38Speaker 14: urgency here to go back out and inspect this area.
- 10:41Speaker 14: You've got people swarming over this house, and as we
- 10:44Speaker 14: find out, of course, you've apparently got children in the
- 10:48Speaker 14: house as well, which is a major problem here. And
- 10:52Speaker 14: so this urgency or lacked thereof, in hindsight, it should.
- 10:57Speaker 14: You should treat this every single time I'm out of
- 11:00Speaker 14: the gate as if you know, this is the most
- 11:03Speaker 14: important thing on your plate, as opposed to well I'm
- 11:07Speaker 14: taking other calls from there.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Doctor Bethany Marshall. How many times have we heard guys?
- 11:13Speaker 2: Doctor Bethany Marshall right now, psycho analyst joining us out
- 11:16Speaker 2: of LA She's the author of deal Breaker. You can
- 11:20Speaker 2: see her now on Peacock and you can find her
- 11:23Speaker 2: at doctor Bethany Marshall dot com. Doctor Bethany, how many
- 11:27Speaker 2: times have we heard someone call nine one one somebody's missing,
- 11:31Speaker 2: they can't be found, and it's treated like, oh, they're
- 11:35Speaker 2: off with their boyfriend or girlfriend, or he just needed
- 11:38Speaker 2: a break from the little woman, or he's tired of
- 11:42Speaker 2: hearing his kids scream and they just discount it. The
- 11:46Speaker 2: guy's lying there, bleeding out dead. That's what we know now.
- 11:50Speaker 2: That's the backdrop to all of her indifference, Nancy.
- 11:53Speaker 9: The assumption should be made that if somebody is worried
- 11:56Speaker 9: enough to call, if they're stressed on the phone, that
- 12:01Speaker 9: likely something is going on. They don't the dispatcher doesn't
- 12:05Speaker 9: know what it is yet, but they must presume the worst.
- 12:09Speaker 9: I have made several welfare checks throughout the years on
- 12:11Speaker 9: patients of mine, and those welfare officers they in one
- 12:16Speaker 9: case broke down the door and saved the patient's life. Okay,
- 12:22Speaker 9: so these calls have to be made seriously, Nancy. The
- 12:25Speaker 9: calls are stacking up. It's one person after another after another.
- 12:30Speaker 9: So I would think when multiple calls are coming in,
- 12:33Speaker 9: you even then begin to take it more seriously. And
- 12:37Speaker 9: especially since Okay, so he hasn't shown up to work,
- 12:40Speaker 9: three hours have passed. He's their boss. They're worried. The
- 12:44Speaker 9: fact that they are worried after three hours means that
- 12:48Speaker 9: they know him and that they know something is seriously wrong.
- 12:54Speaker 9: Like in my field, we always say, listen to the patient,
- 12:56Speaker 9: take them seriously, track with what they're saying. This is
- 13:00Speaker 9: what the dispatcher should have done.
- 13:03Speaker 6: A coworker of Spencer goes to the Teppi residence and
- 13:05Speaker 6: calls nine to one one, explaining Tepi is her boss
- 13:09Speaker 6: and they haven't been able to get a hold of him.
- 13:11Speaker 6: The caller tries to tell dispatch they can hear kids inside,
- 13:14Speaker 6: but the dispatcher talks over the caller, telling her, I
- 13:18Speaker 6: just talked to somebody there. The distract coworker apologizes, saying
- 13:22Speaker 6: she was just making sure someone called.
- 13:23Speaker 4: Okay, we do have officers responding there. Do you know
- 13:27Speaker 4: if he's been ill or anything like that.
- 13:29Speaker 2: No, No, I was just okay. So again she's saying, hey,
- 13:34Speaker 2: there on the way, maybe he's got the flu. Has
- 13:37Speaker 2: he been ill? Okay, keep listening.
- 13:41Speaker 4: Let's the emergency there. Please are medical.
- 13:45Speaker 3: Maybe both. I guess, I don't know. I'm kind of
- 13:47Speaker 3: doing the worry.
- 13:48Speaker 4: We had a call out there. They knocked on the
- 13:50Speaker 4: front door and back door her multiple times and there
- 13:52Speaker 4: was no answer.
- 13:53Speaker 8: Yeah, no answer.
- 13:54Speaker 4: I can hear kids inside, and I say, I think
- 13:57Speaker 4: I heard one yell, but we can't get it.
- 14:00Speaker 15: One of Spencer's friends goes to the Teppie home and
- 14:02Speaker 15: calls nine one one at nine fifty seven am. Dispatch
- 14:05Speaker 15: tells the friend officers have already been to the location
- 14:08Speaker 15: and knocked on doors and got no answer. The friend says, yeah,
- 14:12Speaker 15: no answer. I can hear kids inside, and I think
- 14:14Speaker 15: I heard one yell.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Still disbelieving, and it gets worse.
- 14:20Speaker 4: What's changed since the last person I talked to?
- 14:23Speaker 3: There's a body, there's a body.
- 14:25Speaker 4: Here's a body inside. Yeah, okay, hold on one second,
- 14:31Speaker 4: let me get you on the line with the medic. Okay,
- 14:34Speaker 4: sail on the line.
- 14:36Speaker 3: Appear's dead there.
- 14:38Speaker 2: You hear the dispatch say what's new, what's changed since
- 14:47Speaker 2: the last person I talked to? And the friend says
- 14:53Speaker 2: there's a body inside, and the friend is crying, and
- 14:59Speaker 2: now I'm and says there's a body and the friends
- 15:02Speaker 2: crying says yeah, and the nine only one Amy is
- 15:05Speaker 2: like by and hooks him over to a medic. Did
- 15:11Speaker 2: you hear that, Joe Scott clad?
- 15:14Speaker 11: I did.
- 15:14Speaker 14: And look, there's this modern term that folks like to
- 15:18Speaker 14: use all the time, kind of flip it term. They say,
- 15:21Speaker 14: bad optics. Dude, this is the worst of optics here.
- 15:25Speaker 14: If this is kind of service you're going to get,
- 15:27Speaker 14: and at these critical times, all these friends that are
- 15:29Speaker 14: showing up out there, and it's further accentuated by the
- 15:32Speaker 14: child crying in the background as well. So yeah, and
- 15:36Speaker 14: then the horror that's revealed once they finally entered into
- 15:40Speaker 14: this environment there. You know, it's a total unknown. And
- 15:43Speaker 14: this just goes to show you how every case, every
- 15:46Speaker 14: single time, you need to treat it this way, and
- 15:48Speaker 14: you need to hold it, you need to hold it
- 15:50Speaker 14: almost like a sacred thing, because you don't know what's
- 15:53Speaker 14: going on with us kids in there. You don't know
- 15:55Speaker 14: what has occurred inside of that environment, what we do
- 15:58Speaker 14: know is that the people that are at out there
- 16:00Speaker 14: have intimate knowledge of this couple. They even talk about
- 16:03Speaker 14: how they understand if the wife doesn't respond. That's how
- 16:07Speaker 14: tuned in they are to this whole situation. And granted
- 16:10Speaker 14: the dispatcher doesn't necessarily know that, but you should not
- 16:13Speaker 14: be treated as if you're on an assembly line, particularly
- 16:17Speaker 14: in light of what's further revealed.
- 16:19Speaker 2: Nancy Susan Hendricks joining US investigative journalists and author. Susan,
- 16:23Speaker 2: isn't it true that the friends slash coworkers. They're all
- 16:26Speaker 2: a very tight group where he has his dentist practice.
- 16:31Speaker 2: They have to go in the home themselves, and they
- 16:34Speaker 2: have to find the dead bodies. I don't know how
- 16:37Speaker 2: long they had been dead. I know they were killed
- 16:40Speaker 2: between two and five That's what I believe now two
- 16:42Speaker 2: and five a m. But can you imagine it? Because
- 16:46Speaker 2: we believe the husband was shot at least twice with
- 16:51Speaker 2: a nine Can you imagine the damage done to his body?
- 16:55Speaker 2: The wife shot once we believe same weapon. Find that
- 17:00Speaker 2: and the children are there. They had to break in.
- 17:05Speaker 2: They had to get into the home themselves instead of
- 17:07Speaker 2: police doing it.
- 17:09Speaker 8: And as I re listened, to it. What a great
- 17:11Speaker 8: group of friends. They're not impatient saying.
- 17:13Speaker 7: Where the heck are you? We've been calling.
- 17:15Speaker 8: No, they take matters into their own hands. And you
- 17:18Speaker 8: could almost sense that he's saying something in code to
- 17:23Speaker 8: the dispatcher meaning no, it's a body, meaning it's the
- 17:26Speaker 8: young girl nearby, the four year old. Because he's not
- 17:29Speaker 8: saying Spencer, he's not saying Monique. Maybe she would think
- 17:33Speaker 8: mommy and daddy. It was just I mean, the friends
- 17:36Speaker 8: so close knit, and you could tell just by listening
- 17:38Speaker 8: to those calls.
- 17:39Speaker 2: I'm sure it's something instinctive, especially once you have children.
- 17:42Speaker 2: But when I hear a child crying, it just puts
- 17:46Speaker 2: me on edge. I've got to get to the child.
- 17:49Speaker 2: We got to find out what's happening with the child
- 17:51Speaker 2: that never goes away. Once you have children and you
- 17:54Speaker 2: hear a baby crying, I wanted to hear the baby
- 17:58Speaker 2: crying in the background and the friend crying on the phone.
- 18:03Speaker 4: What's changed the last person I talked to, there's a
- 18:06Speaker 4: body's body, here's a body inside. Yeah, okay, hold on
- 18:12Speaker 4: one second, let me get you on the line with
- 18:15Speaker 4: a medic. Okay, Heal Maligne, I just.
- 18:20Speaker 2: Played you a snippet of that nine one one call
- 18:24Speaker 2: where the friends finally since the cops don't show up
- 18:26Speaker 2: and dispatches giving them the run around, they break into
- 18:29Speaker 2: the home. They go into the home to discover the
- 18:32Speaker 2: two dead bodies of their dear friend and coworker, their
- 18:36Speaker 2: boss and his wife. I want you to hear the
- 18:39Speaker 2: rest of that call.
- 18:41Speaker 4: What's changed the last person I talked to? Here, there's
- 18:44Speaker 4: a body, here's a body inside. Yeah, okay, hold on
- 18:50Speaker 4: one second, let me get you on the line with
- 18:53Speaker 4: the medic. Okay.
- 18:54Speaker 3: Heil Maligne appears dead. There's a body. Our friend wasn't
- 19:00Speaker 3: can transphone. We just took a well of ship. We
- 19:02Speaker 3: just can't here in town. He appears dead.
- 19:06Speaker 11: Okay.
- 19:07Speaker 3: A blood she's laying next to his bed, off of
- 19:11Speaker 3: his better than his blood. I think people user going
- 19:14Speaker 3: too more than that.
- 19:15Speaker 11: Okay, and hell he's opositly not bringing her.
- 19:18Speaker 3: Yeah, like how to like like how to look you know,
- 19:21Speaker 3: because it does he looks great and I can't look.
- 19:26Speaker 5: Okay, all right, I understand, Okay.
- 19:28Speaker 2: I'm learning something new right there. Ron Bateman joining us
- 19:32Speaker 2: form a homicide and undercover nart and author of Opposing
- 19:36Speaker 2: Size Ron killed in their beds because it says he's off,
- 19:42Speaker 2: he's lying next to his bed, off of his bed,
- 19:46Speaker 2: so the purp shoots them in their sleep between two
- 19:50Speaker 2: and five a m.
- 19:52Speaker 12: It's really tragic, and I really feel sorry for the
- 19:54Speaker 12: kids that they're gonna have to deal with this the
- 19:56Speaker 12: rest of their life. At least the four year old
- 19:58Speaker 12: probably will end. The co workers and yeah, the whole
- 20:04Speaker 12: thing is sad. And I got to talk about dispatchers.
- 20:06Speaker 12: The turn of a rate for dispatchers and police departments
- 20:09Speaker 12: is incredibly high because of the numerous hours that they
- 20:13Speaker 12: work because lack of staff, they have to work automatic
- 20:17Speaker 12: over time. I'm married to a former dispatcher. I've heard it.
- 20:21Speaker 12: I know all about it. I know about the downfalls
- 20:23Speaker 12: of their their empathy that they some of them lack.
- 20:27Speaker 2: Uh.
- 20:27Speaker 12: Some of them are very it's you know, it's a
- 20:29Speaker 12: it's a job that they treasure and they they speak
- 20:32Speaker 12: to every person like it's their family member. But some
- 20:35Speaker 12: of them are just cold and just relay that I
- 20:39Speaker 12: don't give a crap attitude like this dispatcher did. Competency
- 20:43Speaker 12: is everywhere and definitely UH with the high term of
- 20:46Speaker 12: rate dispatchers.
- 20:47Speaker 11: Is probably.
- 20:52Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 20:59Speaker 2: Susan Hi. I'm learning something about the home and about
- 21:03Speaker 2: the murders they were killed. It's the eerie echo of
- 21:07Speaker 2: the Rob Ryner and Michelle Singer Reiner murders, where prosecutors
- 21:11Speaker 2: alleged their own son murdered them in their sleep. I disagree.
- 21:15Speaker 2: I think they woke up during it because there's multiple
- 21:17Speaker 2: wounds to them, suggesting to me at least that they
- 21:20Speaker 2: fought back. That said, here the friend says he's off
- 21:28Speaker 2: the bed. Is the bedroom downstairs or upstairs? Did the stalk?
- 21:35Speaker 2: Did the killer know where the bedroom was? Did you
- 21:38Speaker 2: have to sneak around the house? And I say hey,
- 21:41Speaker 2: because statistically, based on this scenario, a guy did it.
- 21:45Speaker 2: Do you know when you look at the homes, do
- 21:48Speaker 2: we have a photo of the home? It's an up
- 21:50Speaker 2: and down. Do we know if the bedroom is on
- 21:52Speaker 2: the bottom or the top?
- 21:56Speaker 7: The bedrooms on the third floor.
- 21:57Speaker 8: Nancy and you bring up an excellent point two ways
- 22:00Speaker 8: to look at this home. It was for sale recently,
- 22:03Speaker 8: so it was on.
- 22:04Speaker 7: A website, real little website. Also, it's in their wedding video.
- 22:08Speaker 2: The video you're seeing of the home is from our
- 22:10Speaker 2: friends at WSYX, ABC six. So you're saying, you said
- 22:15Speaker 2: the first floor or the third floor, assuming there's a
- 22:17Speaker 2: basement first or third? Where is the bedroom third? Because
- 22:22Speaker 2: looking at it, I only see two floors. Does that
- 22:24Speaker 2: mean there's a basement? Is that what you're saying.
- 22:27Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm assuming you kind of walk down into the
- 22:30Speaker 8: bottom floor.
- 22:31Speaker 7: I looked at this home on the.
- 22:33Speaker 8: Real estate website and I could see exactly where everything was.
- 22:37Speaker 7: Yeah, third floor.
- 22:38Speaker 2: Okay, so up on top, So all the bedrooms are
- 22:41Speaker 2: on top. That tells me something else. You know what
- 22:44Speaker 2: It tells me, Joe Scott Morgan that the baby's room
- 22:48Speaker 2: is right there, likely beside the parents room. If all
- 22:54Speaker 2: the bedrooms are on the top floor, right and they've
- 22:56Speaker 2: got two children, that tells me they're side by side,
- 23:02Speaker 2: increasing the likelihood that they heard those gunshots, went those
- 23:06Speaker 2: gunshots and came looking for mommy and daddy.
- 23:09Speaker 14: Yeah. And you know, when you got babies like this, Nancy,
- 23:12Speaker 14: they'd be very young, you know, to keep them separated.
- 23:15Speaker 14: You know, when you're talking about a multi story dwelling,
- 23:18Speaker 14: you would want the kids right down the hallway. Mom's
- 23:20Speaker 14: going to get up in the middle of the night.
- 23:22Speaker 14: Dad gets up in the middle of the night to
- 23:24Speaker 14: tend to the kids, right, and so yeah, it in
- 23:28Speaker 14: proximity is key here. I think one of the things
- 23:31Speaker 14: I'm very curious about is what initially drew the attention
- 23:35Speaker 14: of the children, because you can hear them in the
- 23:37Speaker 14: nine to eleven call where they are actually crying. It
- 23:41Speaker 14: sounds like was it the fact that someone was going
- 23:44Speaker 14: around banging on the door to try to wake them up,
- 23:46Speaker 14: or did they hear something during the night and maybe
- 23:48Speaker 14: they'd been up all night. Maybe they had actually this
- 23:51Speaker 14: is so horrible, walked into the room where mom and
- 23:54Speaker 14: dad were. I'm sure that the door is easily accessible
- 23:57Speaker 14: for the kids. And here's the more senator thing. And
- 24:01Speaker 14: I think that Susan is right on the money here.
- 24:04Speaker 14: When you think about this, the idea that this structure
- 24:09Speaker 14: is multi storied, somebody has got very intimate knowledge of
- 24:14Speaker 14: the space, Nancy, and can move around in this space.
- 24:17Speaker 14: I think with comfort you begin to think about what's
- 24:21Speaker 14: being potentially perpetrated in here. And they're bumping around the
- 24:25Speaker 14: dark man, say this is somebody that knows this dwelling.
- 24:28Speaker 6: At ten eleven am, police officers are back at the
- 24:31Speaker 6: TEPPI residence. Securing the crime scene, Two adult victims suffering
- 24:34Speaker 6: apparent gunshot wounds are located and medic personnel pronounced Spencer
- 24:38Speaker 6: and Monique Teppe dead minutes after arriving on scene. Three
- 24:42Speaker 6: bullet casings are found, but no gun is immediately located.
- 24:45Speaker 6: The couple has two children, ages four and one, who
- 24:48Speaker 6: are found unharmed.
- 24:49Speaker 2: Spencer and Monique Teppe now dead, their children orphans. Who
- 24:56Speaker 2: did this?
- 24:57Speaker 3: Blood hugely in the world. Okay, can tell he's obviously
- 25:03Speaker 3: not bringing.
- 25:06Speaker 2: What does a starter marriage that happened ten years ago
- 25:10Speaker 2: that was over just like that, have to do with
- 25:12Speaker 2: a double murder.
- 25:15Speaker 1: First, here's a clue as to who's the killer.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Take a look at this video that was obtained. This
- 25:21Speaker 2: is a guy, a single male, walking down an alley
- 25:25Speaker 2: directly behind the victim's home. Now, this alley is hard
- 25:29Speaker 2: to find it that it butts up against the back
- 25:34Speaker 2: of the other street. You're seeing an alley On either
- 25:39Speaker 2: side of this pedestrian are the backs of homes, the
- 25:43Speaker 2: fronts of the homes, or on two other streets that
- 25:48Speaker 2: run perpendicular. Who's this guy and why is he walking
- 25:52Speaker 2: around between two and five am on an.
- 25:55Speaker 1: Alley a little known alley that's.
- 25:57Speaker 2: Only used by people that park in the back of
- 26:01Speaker 2: their homes and walk in the back door.
- 26:03Speaker 1: Why is he there now?
- 26:05Speaker 2: If you go to let's just say, for instance, downtown LA,
- 26:10Speaker 2: people are walking around twenty four to seven, three sixty five.
- 26:13Speaker 2: That's not unusual there, it is unusual. Straight out to
- 26:19Speaker 2: Susan Hendrix joining US investigative journalist. Officers finally show up.
- 26:25Speaker 2: Both of the tepees are dead. Spencer and Monique. Tell
- 26:30Speaker 2: me about the weapon, the bullets, the casings that were
- 26:34Speaker 2: found at the scene.
- 26:36Speaker 8: Yeah, Nancy, there were three casings found and from the
- 26:39Speaker 8: police report, it appeared at Spencer had been shot twice,
- 26:42Speaker 8: Monique once.
- 26:44Speaker 7: So in the beginning I was thinking, Okay, not a
- 26:48Speaker 7: professional hit.
- 26:48Speaker 8: Everything was going on in my mind because there's casings
- 26:51Speaker 8: found at the scene, so maybe that tied.
- 26:56Speaker 7: Maybe police were able to use.
- 26:57Speaker 2: That or they will be able to In the trot
- 27:00Speaker 2: very eerie scenario, Greg Morse, somebody coming into your home
- 27:04Speaker 2: skulking around slowly, Brian Coburger, skulking around and knowing to
- 27:10Speaker 2: find you upstairs in bed, just sneaking around, going up
- 27:15Speaker 2: the stairs and finding them. That's creep factor. A jury
- 27:20Speaker 2: is not going to be able to ignore.
- 27:22Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, the creep factor is not going to
- 27:25Speaker 10: play well with a jury at all. You have someone
- 27:27Speaker 10: allegedly for maybe up to three hours, going through these
- 27:31Speaker 10: people's three story home, going in each room, maybe looking
- 27:35Speaker 10: at the kids, looking at them, and walking around, and
- 27:38Speaker 10: that's gonna obviously if that comes out whoever's in trial,
- 27:43Speaker 10: it's not going to go well for the defendant at all.
- 27:45Speaker 11: It's not a great fact.
- 27:46Speaker 2: Only praying Greg Morse for your worst nightmare to come true,
- 27:51Speaker 2: and there'll be nanny cams in the home home surveillance
- 27:55Speaker 2: that shows the purp wandering around, looking around. We learned
- 28:01Speaker 2: there are in the three casings. Yeah, you're right, there
- 28:05Speaker 2: is at least one ring ton. I'm talking about interior home.
- 28:10Speaker 2: Interior home surveillance. We learned there are three bullet casings.
- 28:14Speaker 2: They're from a nine a nine millimeter, and I don't
- 28:18Speaker 2: know if the killer thought to load the weapon with
- 28:23Speaker 2: gloves on, or did he leave a print or a
- 28:28Speaker 2: partial print on the bullets themselves as he loaded the gun.
- 28:33Speaker 2: Joining me right now is former military sharp shooter CoA
- 28:38Speaker 2: Lauri Moore CoA.
- 28:39Speaker 11: What about it?
- 28:41Speaker 16: Well, Nancy, this right here is a nine millimeters round.
- 28:44Speaker 16: The top part is the bullet and the back part
- 28:47Speaker 16: is the casing. Now you can get DNA off this
- 28:51Speaker 16: casing by fingerprints and sweat and whatever else they have
- 28:55Speaker 16: on their hands when loading the weapon. So this is
- 28:59Speaker 16: how you load magazine right here. And also there are
- 29:04Speaker 16: certain marks that are left on the casing after the
- 29:07Speaker 16: round is fired. Now this is the pistol, a pistol
- 29:12Speaker 16: that this round can be fired from. The bulks at
- 29:15Speaker 16: the front and the casing is ejected out of the side. Now,
- 29:19Speaker 16: the firing pin leaves a mark on the back of
- 29:22Speaker 16: the casing which is unique to the weapon. Then the
- 29:26Speaker 16: extractor leaves scratches on the casing which is also unique
- 29:30Speaker 16: to the weapon, and the ejector leaves dense on the casing. Now,
- 29:34Speaker 16: all these marks can be traced straight back to the
- 29:39Speaker 16: weapon it's fired from, and that could link the suspect
- 29:44Speaker 16: to the gun. Can also link the suspect to the
- 29:49Speaker 16: casing based on the fingerprints they get off the casing itself.
- 29:54Speaker 1: Right, I get it.
- 29:55Speaker 2: I see CoA how those prints can be left. I
- 30:00Speaker 2: want to look at that video again, the video of
- 30:03Speaker 2: who we believe to be the pert walking down that
- 30:05Speaker 2: private alley behind the home. Check it out, Saysen Hendricks.
- 30:10Speaker 2: Is it giving you a chill? Because he's walking along
- 30:13Speaker 2: just like Richard Allen did on that trestle bridge in Delphi.
- 30:18Speaker 2: Hands in pockets so you can't see the color of
- 30:21Speaker 2: his skin or any identifying marks or rings on his hands,
- 30:25Speaker 2: hunched forward, head down, covering his face with a hoodie.
- 30:31Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's exactly what I thought of, Nancy.
- 30:33Speaker 8: As soon as I saw that, I went back to
- 30:35Speaker 8: Richard Allen and what the authorities were saying, does anyone
- 30:38Speaker 8: know this person's walk, this person's gate And now that
- 30:42Speaker 8: we talk about the bullets, that also brings you back
- 30:44Speaker 8: to Delphi with descriations while that play in. But yeah,
- 30:47Speaker 8: the walk, the head down, I feel like that person
- 30:50Speaker 8: didn't want to be seen or caught.
- 30:52Speaker 6: Investigators get all available surveillance video from the teppy neighborhood,
- 30:56Speaker 6: focusing on the time between two am and five am,
- 30:59Speaker 6: and really video of one person walking in the alley
- 31:02Speaker 6: behind the Teppee home. One car with an Illinois license
- 31:06Speaker 6: plate arrives in the neighborhood shortly before the Teppie murders
- 31:09Speaker 6: take place and leaves shortly thereafter, the license plate on
- 31:12Speaker 6: the vehicle is registered to Michael McKee, a vascular surgeon
- 31:16Speaker 6: in Chicago. McKee is also Monique Teppi's ex husband.
- 31:23Speaker 2: Dave mac joining me, Crime Stories investigative reporter. You can't
- 31:26Speaker 2: see his face unless they get his face on video.
- 31:31Speaker 2: They've got to rely on the car. Tell me, do
- 31:34Speaker 2: you think that they track that loan pedestrian on a
- 31:39Speaker 2: private alleyway behind the victim's home. You think they traced
- 31:44Speaker 2: him on cam from one ring cam to the next,
- 31:47Speaker 2: to a surveillance cam to a stop like cam, and
- 31:50Speaker 2: so forth and so on till he gets to a car.
- 31:52Speaker 2: Then they get the car tag. What do you think,
- 31:54Speaker 2: Dave Mac, I.
- 31:56Speaker 4: Think that's exactly what they did.
- 31:58Speaker 17: Now see, and once they were able to get that
- 32:01Speaker 17: license tag and find out the car is registered in Illinois,
- 32:05Speaker 17: they actually police track the car back to where it
- 32:10Speaker 17: is located and they actually find it in Rockford, Illinois.
- 32:15Speaker 2: Rockford, Illinois, they find the vehicle and isn't it true, Susan?
- 32:20Speaker 2: They say there's evidence in the vehicle that shows he McKee,
- 32:25Speaker 2: the x the starter husband, had been in the vehicle
- 32:30Speaker 2: leading up to the time of the shootings.
- 32:33Speaker 7: Exactly, and I'm wondering what that exactly is.
- 32:36Speaker 8: But they seem pretty confident obviously that they connected him
- 32:40Speaker 8: to the murders, to the double murder.
- 32:42Speaker 1: Or at least to the car because Greg Morris, unless
- 32:45Speaker 1: they get.
- 32:45Speaker 2: His face, you know what he's going to say, Oh yeah,
- 32:49Speaker 2: somebody stole my car day before yesterday. I wasn't even
- 32:52Speaker 2: driving that car unless they've got his face in that
- 32:57Speaker 2: car or on that video, and they're going to do
- 33:00Speaker 2: a lot more investigation.
- 33:02Speaker 11: Well, that's right.
- 33:04Speaker 10: They're going to need to connect with actual evidence if it,
- 33:07Speaker 10: you know, to go to trial and proof beyond a
- 33:09Speaker 10: reasonable doubt. Although you know, the cameras are everywhere so
- 33:15Speaker 10: all over this country, and it seems like that's what
- 33:17Speaker 10: they did.
- 33:18Speaker 11: They may just follow from Illinois.
- 33:21Speaker 2: He's getting in the car.
- 33:22Speaker 10: And going he's covering his face here. But you know, people,
- 33:28Speaker 10: it's just like the ring camera on the house. It
- 33:30Speaker 10: appears there's only one in the front, not in the back.
- 33:32Speaker 10: People only do certain things and they think, okay, I
- 33:35Speaker 10: covered all bases. But if he's driving this person, the
- 33:38Speaker 10: ex husband, from Illinois to Ohio, there's a lot of
- 33:42Speaker 10: places he's going.
- 33:42Speaker 11: To be along the way. Getting out of that car,
- 33:45Speaker 11: similar to the Utah.
- 33:46Speaker 10: Story that you did a couple months ago where they
- 33:49Speaker 10: followed the car of the lady with her daughter to
- 33:52Speaker 10: the endpoint.
- 33:53Speaker 11: And this seems to be the case here.
- 33:55Speaker 10: And I'd also like to know if anyone went past
- 33:58Speaker 10: the front of the house because what would have gone off.
- 34:00Speaker 10: Ring cameras have a lot of information on them behind
- 34:03Speaker 10: the video as well, So there's a lot of leads
- 34:06Speaker 10: the police can put together, but they need to get
- 34:09Speaker 10: evidence to link it to him.
- 34:10Speaker 11: Fingerprint, DNA, face shots, getting in the car, things of
- 34:15Speaker 11: that nature.
- 34:16Speaker 10: So this is just one piece of information that's generic
- 34:20Speaker 10: that they now have to link to an individual person,
- 34:23Speaker 10: and it seems like it's this ex husband, which also Nancy,
- 34:26Speaker 10: there's an important part for prosecution here is there's no
- 34:30Speaker 10: justification for this man to be in the area if
- 34:32Speaker 10: it's the ex husband. My understanding is the two children
- 34:36Speaker 10: are the deceased, not one of the children or not his,
- 34:39Speaker 10: so he has no reason to be around his ex wife,
- 34:41Speaker 10: no legitimate reason whatsoever. And that's another factor that will
- 34:45Speaker 10: go against this person if he, you know, this state
- 34:48Speaker 10: does continue to prosecute him.
- 34:51Speaker 2: You know, it could be something as simple as got
- 34:54Speaker 2: to eight. What if they find one McDonald's receipt on
- 35:00Speaker 2: the floor five hours before and he used his credit card.
- 35:05Speaker 2: What if or he could pull a Jody Areas she
- 35:08Speaker 2: crossed the desert with gas tanks in her trunk so
- 35:11Speaker 2: she wouldn't have to go into in seven to eleven. So,
- 35:15Speaker 2: Ron Bateman, it may not be as sophisticated as fingerprints,
- 35:18Speaker 2: because fingerprints could have been from a week ago, a
- 35:20Speaker 2: year ago. Got to be something more recent connecting him
- 35:25Speaker 2: to being in that car up to the time of
- 35:26Speaker 2: the murders.
- 35:27Speaker 12: Yeah, I tell you what I would do is I
- 35:29Speaker 12: would double back and go to where he lives and
- 35:31Speaker 12: check not only his ring camera, which he probably has one.
- 35:34Speaker 12: He's a you know, established businessman, doctor, and his entire
- 35:39Speaker 12: neighborhood and try to put that person that was in
- 35:42Speaker 12: the alley coming out of his front door, passing by
- 35:46Speaker 12: his next door neighbor, getting into his car, et cetera.
- 35:49Speaker 12: And you know, I've talked about just a million times
- 35:51Speaker 12: on your show about the transference of evidence principle. Every
- 35:54Speaker 12: time you go somewhere, you take something with you from
- 35:57Speaker 12: the scene, and you leave something there, DNA, hair, blood, spit,
- 36:03Speaker 12: gravel from that that road that he's walking on. There's
- 36:07Speaker 12: so many things, Prince, like we talked about earlier, There's
- 36:10Speaker 12: so many things his car that maybe the later search
- 36:13Speaker 12: of his car maybe had that that black hoodie inside
- 36:16Speaker 12: of it, his black tennis shoes. You know what he's
- 36:18Speaker 12: wearing is uh, you know it's pretty. You got jeans,
- 36:22Speaker 12: you got black and what.
- 36:23Speaker 2: He's wearing may very well have blood spatter on it
- 36:26Speaker 2: as well. I'm gonna circle back to Joe.
- 36:28Speaker 13: Scott on that.
- 36:34Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace, but.
- 36:39Speaker 2: To Dr Bethany Marshall. Let's get right down to it. Okay,
- 36:42Speaker 2: another thing, two words. Ohio Turnpike. He drove, if it
- 36:46Speaker 2: is him, three hundred miles to get there. He left
- 36:49Speaker 2: a trail. It could be he had a cell phone on.
- 36:52Speaker 2: It could be the nav system, it could be the
- 36:54Speaker 2: McDonald's receipt. There's gonna be a trail. It could be
- 36:57Speaker 2: a licensed tag grab grabber on the side of the
- 36:59Speaker 2: inner date of the Ohio Turnpike. He left a trail
- 37:03Speaker 2: like a snail. Trust me on this. He may think
- 37:05Speaker 2: it's invisible like the smell does, but we can see it.
- 37:09Speaker 2: Dtor Bethany, I've looked into this starter marriage and this
- 37:13Speaker 2: starter husband, and it ain't pretty. They were married just
- 37:18Speaker 2: seven months.
- 37:20Speaker 1: She filed divorced.
- 37:21Speaker 2: She even paid for a private judge to expedite it.
- 37:26Speaker 2: It wasn't because she left because she was having an affair.
- 37:28Speaker 2: She didn't marry till sometimes later. She didn't meet the
- 37:31Speaker 2: husband till sometime later. Incompatible. Okay, you're sitting down, doctor Bethany,
- 37:37Speaker 2: I hope you are, because when they got divorced after
- 37:40Speaker 2: just seven months, she instigated it. He says that her
- 37:45Speaker 2: engagement and wedding rings are his, and he wants twenty
- 37:51Speaker 2: five hundred for the engagement ring and thirty five hundred
- 37:55Speaker 2: for the wedding ring.
- 37:57Speaker 1: Hey, big spender.
- 38:00Speaker 2: That plus wait for it, he wants, I mean, put
- 38:04Speaker 2: it on a credit card. Go crazy, you know, break
- 38:08Speaker 2: to your grand get crazy. You're a vascular surgeon. He
- 38:11Speaker 2: makes like between five hundred and a million a year,
- 38:15Speaker 2: but he wants those rings back or the money back.
- 38:18Speaker 2: And it says in the docs she owed him about
- 38:21Speaker 2: she owed twelve hundred dollars in miscellaneous debt and he
- 38:25Speaker 2: wanted her to pay twenty three percent interest on the
- 38:28Speaker 2: twelve hundred dollars. You know Nancy.
- 38:33Speaker 9: Obviously I don't know this guy. But one of the
- 38:35Speaker 9: things about personality I know enough, and about abusers is
- 38:41Speaker 9: that they always feel owed. You owe me this, you
- 38:44Speaker 9: owe me that, And that kind of attitude could have
- 38:48Speaker 9: given rise to stocking behavior. I still want to get
- 38:52Speaker 9: my pound of flesh from you, Nancy. That household had
- 38:56Speaker 9: a family dog.
- 38:58Speaker 2: Did you know that?
- 38:59Speaker 9: So this has the shades of Brian Koberger, who befriended
- 39:02Speaker 9: the dog over a period of months so he could
- 39:05Speaker 9: gain access to the house. I don't know if that
- 39:08Speaker 9: dog barked. I just wanted to put that out there.
- 39:11Speaker 9: But if we go back to the starter marriage, she
- 39:13Speaker 9: paid a judge to expedite the marriage. Here in the
- 39:17Speaker 9: state of California, once you file it takes six months
- 39:21Speaker 9: for the dissolution. She went to a private judge and
- 39:24Speaker 9: paid to wrap it up in six weeks. She wanted
- 39:29Speaker 9: to get the hell out of Dodge.
- 39:30Speaker 2: Okay.
- 39:31Speaker 9: The fact that then she remarried, found a great partner.
- 39:36Speaker 9: We see all those beautiful pictures. I'm kind of wondering
- 39:40Speaker 9: what he saw of the new marriage. Was he stalking her,
- 39:44Speaker 9: was he following her? Did he see a picture in
- 39:46Speaker 9: the paper? Did he see the beautiful wedding video on
- 39:49Speaker 9: YouTube and it did it incite him to want to
- 39:54Speaker 9: punish her?
- 39:55Speaker 2: Yeah, Susan HENDRICKX told me Dr Bethany that the wedding
- 39:57Speaker 2: was in the home so he could see the home,
- 40:00Speaker 2: see where they were living. I bet that threw him
- 40:02Speaker 2: over the edge. Listen to this, Listen to this. This
- 40:05Speaker 2: actually got me very upset. These are part of her
- 40:10Speaker 2: vows that she stated at the wedding. I had quite
- 40:14Speaker 2: a journey to get to you, countless bad bumble dates,
- 40:19Speaker 2: wrong relationships and waterfalls of tears. And she finally found
- 40:28Speaker 2: mister Wright, not mister right now, but mister Wright. And
- 40:33Speaker 2: they had a family, two beautiful children, and now it's
- 40:38Speaker 2: all gone. The children are orphans. They probably will remember
- 40:47Speaker 2: the murders of their parents. And for what Bethany a
- 40:51Speaker 2: starter marriage that happened ten years before. She's been married
- 40:57Speaker 2: to her murder victim husband five years, so it's not
- 41:01Speaker 2: like she left the ex for another man that didn't happen.
- 41:05Speaker 2: She just left him because he's him ten years ago,
- 41:10Speaker 2: and now well to murder them both.
- 41:14Speaker 9: You know, Nancy, if you think of him charging the
- 41:16Speaker 9: twenty three percent interest on the ring. He wants to
- 41:20Speaker 9: get her to pay. You're gonna pay for leaving me.
- 41:23Speaker 9: I'm gonna get my pound of flesh from you. And
- 41:27Speaker 9: people like this, they kind of have an oceanic rage.
- 41:30Speaker 9: It kind of goes on and on and on.
- 41:33Speaker 7: You know.
- 41:33Speaker 9: Stalkers they time doesn't matter to them. They could do
- 41:37Speaker 9: it for twenty years, thirty years, forty years. And stalkers
- 41:41Speaker 9: believe that they have a special and unique relationship with
- 41:46Speaker 9: the victim, even if that victim hasn't talked to them
- 41:49Speaker 9: in a decade. So seeing her happy, seeing the YouTube
- 41:53Speaker 9: videos must have enraged him and thrown him into a
- 41:57Speaker 9: state of you're rejecting me, your humilis, you're diminishing me.
- 42:03Speaker 9: I'm going to have to wipe you out because I
- 42:06Speaker 9: cannot tolerate that feeling in myself. You know one other thing, Nancy,
- 42:10Speaker 9: whenever you flash the image of Michael McKee, the cardiovascular surgeon,
- 42:17Speaker 9: I noticed that it says that he has been in
- 42:20Speaker 9: practice for twelve years, but he's accepting new patients. And
- 42:23Speaker 9: I don't know about you here. It takes months to
- 42:25Speaker 9: get in to see a great doctor like that. That
- 42:28Speaker 9: also tells me something might be going wrong in his
- 42:30Speaker 9: life and in his practice. That just seemed like a
- 42:33Speaker 9: little clue that that stood out to me.
- 42:35Speaker 2: Wow, I didn't notice that, Doctor Bethany Joe Scott Morgan
- 42:39Speaker 2: and Professor Forensics, Jacksonville State University. I know you probably
- 42:43Speaker 2: teach at least one entire class on this, probably more,
- 42:48Speaker 2: But boil it down for me. How close did he
- 42:53Speaker 2: have to be to the bodies to get blood spatter
- 43:00Speaker 2: on that hoodie?
- 43:04Speaker 14: He would have to be probably within about eighteen to
- 43:07Speaker 14: thirty inches, dependent upon the dynamics of the round. Where
- 43:12Speaker 14: when you begin to think about where the muzzle or
- 43:14Speaker 14: the end of the barrel is in relation to the victims,
- 43:18Speaker 14: this is going to be a high velocity event. And
- 43:21Speaker 14: what I mean by that is that when you have
- 43:23Speaker 14: blood deposition, it's going to come out in these very
- 43:27Speaker 14: fine droplets. And the higher the speed, the tinier the droplets.
- 43:31Speaker 14: And listen, if he thinks that perhaps with this hoodie
- 43:35Speaker 14: that he's wearing, he might look at it. And this
- 43:38Speaker 14: happens all the time, Nancy. He might look at the
- 43:41Speaker 14: hoodie and he won't see anything. But if we get
- 43:44Speaker 14: that hoodie, or the colleagues and the prom lab get
- 43:47Speaker 14: that hoodie and they begin to explore this thing, they'll
- 43:50Speaker 14: find those little tiny dots that are actually a derivative
- 43:55Speaker 14: of high velocity blood deposition. And they can be all
- 43:58Speaker 14: over the place. You can even find them in logos,
- 44:01Speaker 14: for instance, where they're kind of guarded or hidden that
- 44:03Speaker 14: sort of thing. You can find them there. And that's
- 44:06Speaker 14: gonna tell That'll be the tale of the tape because
- 44:09Speaker 14: once that blood is typed and then further you can
- 44:12Speaker 14: actually run DNA on it, that that's gonna be very
- 44:16Speaker 14: damning evidence. And if I could insert one more thing
- 44:19Speaker 14: here that reminds me of the Idaho Ford Nancy, do
- 44:23Speaker 14: you remember that video that those kids shot inside of
- 44:28Speaker 14: that house that TikTok that they did. It made my
- 44:32Speaker 14: skin crawl when I began to think that that perpetrator
- 44:36Speaker 14: in that case could be watching the interior of this house.
- 44:39Speaker 14: I think a lot of evidence, not just the physical
- 44:42Speaker 14: evidence that he that may have been transferred to him
- 44:44Speaker 14: or him back to the scene. There's gonna be damning
- 44:48Speaker 14: evidence in his social media because he's gazing from afar,
- 44:52Speaker 14: who's he's searching out. They start to look at Facebook
- 44:55Speaker 14: or any other social media platform that he's engaged with.
- 44:59Speaker 14: That's gonna be a big tail there. You know, you
- 45:01Speaker 14: can sit around his house and his dirty underwear and
- 45:04Speaker 14: look at these people and fantasize about it, and may
- 45:07Speaker 14: have been doing it for years and years, who knows.
- 45:09Speaker 14: We're talking about a ten year span, Nancy, And he's
- 45:11Speaker 14: creating this fantasy all the while he gets to get
- 45:14Speaker 14: an insight of this new home that they're occupying.
- 45:16Speaker 2: There, Scott the defendant ex husband's starter husband McKee sitting
- 45:22Speaker 2: at home alone in his dirty underwear for the last
- 45:25Speaker 2: ten years, obsessing on the nique. That's doctor Bethany's billiwick.
- 45:29Speaker 2: I'll leave that to her. Susan Hendricks investigative reporter quickly
