  • Recapping 3 Big Hearings: Michael McKee, JP Miller, & Barry Morphew

    Recapping 3 Big Hearings: Michael McKee, JP Miller, & Barry Morphew
    2026/01/12
    Three major hearings unfolded today, and this episode breaks down the key developments in each case.



    • First, Michael McKee made his initial court appearance following his arrest for the murders of Spencer and Monique Tepe. Prosecutors upgraded the charges to two counts of aggravated murder with premeditation, carrying the possibility of the death penalty. McKee waived extradition and will be returned to Ohio as the case moves forward.



    • Next, JP Miller appeared in federal court for his arraignment on cyberstalking and lying to investigators in connection with the death of his wife, Mica Miller. He pleaded not guilty, was released on bond with strict conditions, and investigators confirmed the case remains ongoing. The episode also explains coercive control, why it matters, and the renewed push for legislation to protect victims.



    • Finally, Barry Morphew entered a not guilty plea and waived his right to a speedy trial. The judge set a trial date for October, with proceedings expected to last several weeks. Plus, an update on upcoming live trial coverage and what’s next for the channel.

  • RECAP: Kouri Richins Hearing Day 1

    RECAP: Kouri Richins Hearing Day 1
    2026/01/07
    In this episode of Pretty Lies & Alibis, we break down Day 1 of the Kouri Richins evidentiary hearing and the key expert testimony battles unfolding ahead of her upcoming trial.

    The defense sought to block three of the state’s expert witnesses, focusing heavily on the controversial “Pathway to Violence” model. Defense expert Dr. Fox testified that the model is not scientifically reliable, lacks peer-reviewed validation, has no known error rate, and cannot be used to predict individual acts of violence — arguing that its use amounts to profiling rather than science under Utah Rule of Evidence 702.

    The state countered with testimony from Dr. Ammon, who described the model as one of several tools used retrospectively in targeted violence prevention. The judge ultimately issued a partial ruling, limiting how the model may be used at trial.

    We also cover:
    The judge’s decision allowing a handwriting expert to testify regarding alleged forgery

    Why testimony from Dr. Sherry Veneno was ruled not currently relevant — but could be revisited

    Why Day 2 of the hearing will not be livestreamed due to sealed evidence

  • Who Killed Spencer & Monique Tepe? Lots Of Questions And Little Answers

    Who Killed Spencer & Monique Tepe? Lots Of Questions And Little Answers
    2026/01/07
    Two young parents, a quiet neighborhood, and a crime that raises more questions than answers.
    In this episode of Pretty Lies & Alibis, we break down the tragic and still-unsolved murders of Spencer and Monique Tepe, who were found shot to death inside their Ohio home — the same home where they were married just three years earlier.

    Their two small children, ages one and four, were inside the home at the time and were physically unharmed. With no signs of forced entry, no weapon recovered, and only limited surveillance footage released, investigators are keeping details close as the case remains very much a mystery.

    We walk through:
    • The timeline of welfare checks and 911 calls
    • What police found inside the home
    • Surveillance video released by investigators
    • Why the lack of forced entry is such a critical detail
    • Who Spencer and Monique were beyond the headlines
    • The heartbreaking impact on their children and family

    As always, we’ll continue following this case closely and bring updates as they’re released.
    📌 If you have information, contact:
    Columbus Police Homicide Unit: (614) 645-4730
    Central Ohio Crime Stoppers: (614) 461-TIPS (8477)

  • The Au Pair Affair That Led To Murder - The Brendan Banfield Trial

    The Au Pair Affair That Led To Murder - The Brendan Banfield Trial
    2026/01/06
    In this episode of Pretty Lies & Alibis, we break down the disturbing backstory behind the upcoming trial of Brendan Banfield, a former federal investigator accused of orchestrating the murders of his wife, Christine Banfield, and a man named Joseph Ryan inside their Fairfax County, Virginia home.
    Prosecutors allege Banfield carried out the killings with the help of the family’s live-in au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, with whom he was having an affair. According to the state, the pair used an online fetish website and encrypted messaging to lure Ryan to the home under the guise of a consensual encounter — a plan that allegedly ended in murder and a staged crime scene.
    This episode covers:
    The alleged affair and digital trail
    Claims of long-term planning
    What happened the morning of the murders
    Conflicting detective theories
    Juliana’s plea deal and cooperation
    Internal police disputes and prosecutorial issues
    What to watch for as the trial begins
    Brendan Banfield has pleaded not guilty and faces life in prison without parole if convicted. Jury selection is expected to begin January 12, and this case is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched trials of the year.
