Well, I feel like publicly. 34 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: I feel like the content creators were just like jumping 35 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: on it, and you know, every little thing that came 36 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: forward they were talking about. But let's just do a 37 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: little bit. Because so so, Blake Lively has retained she 38 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: has a new attorney because she's going to trial soon. 39 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: You know, they're slated to go to trial. 40 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: This man attorney. 41 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: She has retained prominent attorney Secret McCauley to represent her 42 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: in her upcoming trial against Justin Baldoni. McCauley is a 43 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: managing partner at Boys Schiller Flow and is known for 44 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: previously representing sex trafficking victims connected to the late Jeffrey Epstein. 45 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: She has also represented Lively's publicist, This was Leslie Sloane. 46 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: We talked about Leslie Sloane back in past episodes after 47 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: Baldoni named Sloan in a countersuit accusing her of orchestrating 48 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: a smear campaign. And if you guys remember all those 49 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: claims that Justin Baldoni had against the publicists and against 50 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: New York Times, those were all dismissed. In a statement 51 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: to The Cut, this is where the article came from, 52 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: McCauley said, it is a privilege to get to work 53 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: with Blake Lively's world class legal team on a case that, 54 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: at its core is about a woman who has subjected 55 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: to a hostile work environment and is being attacked for 56 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: standing up to protect herself and other female coworkers. As 57 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: a reminder, Lively and Baldoni have been locked in a 58 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: legal dispute since I remember it was December of twenty 59 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: twenty four. It was before Christmas last year ago. Yeah, 60 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: that we started. Goodness, yeah, I remember. I actually pulled 61 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: all the legal documents so again, if you guys want 62 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: to go back and listen, I feel like we did 63 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: it from Instagram, not from Instagram. I actually pulled all 64 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: of the documents, read them multiple times, so I feel 65 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: like we did a good breakdown on it. But as 66 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: a reminder, Lively and Baldoni had been locked in a 67 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: legal dispute since December of twenty twenty four, when Lively 68 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: sued him alleging sexual harassment and inappropriate conduct during the 69 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: filming of It Ends with Us. Baldoni responded with his 70 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: own lawsuit, accusing Lively, Sloan and Ryan Reynolds of defamation 71 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: and extortion, arguing that Lively's claims were part of a 72 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: broader effort to wrestle creative control of the film away 73 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: from him, and that countersuit was dismissed by a judge 74 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: back in June of twenty twenty five. The trial itself 75 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: is currently still slated for this upcoming mayfre. 76 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: Do you stand on the You're a huge Baldoni? 77 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: Oh my opinion, well, my opinion of him and of 78 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: Blake Lively has not changed at all. I still by 79 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: the fact that I think this man is being railroaded 80 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: by someone who just want a creative control of a 81 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: film and has made sexual harassment claims against him without 82 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: from what I have seen, stantial substantial evidence to back 83 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: that up. We will continue to follow that. There was 84 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: also another article and extra. It was about Justin Baldoni. 85 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,679 Speaker 1: He claims that Blake Lively calls her New York City 86 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: home office. She refers to it as Buckingham Palace. I 87 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: think it just goes to the core of her ego. 88 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 1: Justin Baldoni has offered new details about meetings he had 89 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: with Blake Lively while filming It Ends with Us, according 90 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: to deposition testimony given and mid their ongoing legal dispute, Baldoni, 91 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: who was deposed. He was deposed back in October twenty five, 92 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: described those interactions in a transcript which was obtained by 93 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: people During the deposition. He said Lively referred to her 94 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: New York City home as Buckingham Palace, and nickname, he explained, 95 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: was tied to the number of well known figures who 96 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: passed through its space, it's halls, through its hallowed halls. 97 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,799 Speaker 1: In November, people reported on an unsealed email that referenced 98 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift. Well, we knew Taylor Swift because that was 99 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: the allegations that Taylor Swift was present during one of 100 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: the I guess remember when Ryan Reynolds freezed out one 101 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: of the well they justin Baldoni went to her home 102 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: to discuss a scene, but then Ryan Reynolds was there 103 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: and apparently he flipped out on him and was berating him, 104 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: And I guess Taylor Swift was allegedly there, and that's 105 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: how she became involved. 106 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 3: Well, and then she's probably involved because they want to 107 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 3: pick her brain on whatever conversations she's had with Lively 108 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 3: and stuff. 109 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: Which I still I believe. I don't think they're friends 110 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: anymore at this point. Or Taylor Swift's is taking. 111 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 2: A She's going to write an album about it. 112 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: Yes, it's coming out soon, to be very sad. Also, 113 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: allegedly Hugh Jackman was present during this confrontation involving Baldonia 114 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: around Reynolds. 115 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 2: Why was he there? 116 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: I don't know where Reynolds unloaded. 117 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 3: I guess filming with Reynolds, right? Were they filming like 118 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 3: the Wolverine Dead Deadpool stuff? 119 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: Oh? So, I guess he was at Buckingham Palace too, 120 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: I guess. And this is during that confrontation we just 121 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,799 Speaker 1: talked about telling him how horrible it was that Baldoni 122 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: had asked lively about her weight. Do you remember that 123 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: that was an issue where she said he harassed her 124 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: because I guess he had gone to her personal trainer 125 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: and asked how much she weighed and then it got 126 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: back to her. But he claims he asked how much 127 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: she weighed because he had back problems, so he just 128 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: wanted to know, like how to lift her. 129 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 3: Calm down people. So why do you ask how much 130 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 3: she weighed? I mean, people ask how tall you are? 131 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 3: And is that supposed to be offensive? 132 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: Don't? Is it offensive when people ask you how tall 133 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: you are? Are you offended? Mine? 134 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 2: I am going to start suing people, are you yes? Yes? 135 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: Notes don't ask Shane how tall he. 136 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 2: Is a lot of money asked me. I'm going to 137 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 2: see you. 138 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, let's move on from that. If anything 139 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: new develops and that will definitely talk about it. But 140 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: we will definitely follow the trial. If I still can't 141 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: is going to trial, but we'll see if it continues 142 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: on to May. This is a new developing story. It 143 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: happens in Ohio. I feel like there's so many things 144 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,679 Speaker 1: that happen in Ohio. I don't know why. I'm from Ohio. 145 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: If you guys don't know that, I'm sure. 146 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 2: You do it. 147 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 3: I think it's because I think publicly they release bodycam footage, 148 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 3: and journalists have more access probably to all this stuff. 149 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 2: So it spreads like wildfire, and you're saying your people 150 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: are murderers. My people are your people? My people? 151 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: Well, the reason I say a lot of things happens 152 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: in Ohio is because I don't know if you guys 153 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: know this, but I've always I've always been obsessed with 154 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: Forensic Files, and I have there's Forensic Files too. I've seen, No, 155 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: it's not as good as the original, but I have 156 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: seen every episode of Forensic Files. And I will tell 157 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: you if you guys watch Forensic Files, or if you 158 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: start watching it, or if you haven't watched but now 159 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: you're in tune to watching it again, you will now 160 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: notice after hearing this that the majority of the stories 161 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: on Forensic Files happened in Ohio. 162 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, but again, I think it's because whoever was the 163 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 3: creator of Forensic Files, or you know, the researchers and 164 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 3: all that there's probably more accessible, you know, info that 165 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 3: they can get publicly from Ohio to create a show. 166 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 2: All right, So trying to help your people out. 167 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: I know, I get it. You're saying it's accessible as 168 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: opposed to in proportionate with other states.

And I believe their 180 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: children are your age four, one, four and one.

He lives in 201 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 3: one state and he comes to California for three days 202 00:09:59,400 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 3: a week. 203 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: Oh well, my friend who is a dentist, she works 204 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: in Arizona and here, so you'll see. 205 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 2: Still see, I don't know okay, and then you wonder 206 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 2: about me. 207 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: Okay. His employer was doctor Mark Vauros. He told dispatchers 208 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: that Spencer's unexplained absence was alarming, so that's how they 209 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: were tipped off. In the beginning. He doesn't show up 210 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: for work, and they said that he was responsible, always 211 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: on time, so the fact that he was not at work, 212 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: didn't call, didn't notify anyone. 213 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 3: If I didn't show for work, there'd be no one 214 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 3: would nod again. 215 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: No, but you know what, this is what Shane, this 216 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: is what Shane Noy says. The only welfare check that 217 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 1: would come for me would be from Nordstrum. 218 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 2: Right. They'd be like, we have some concerns. We have 219 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 2: that senior in the last forty eight hours. 220 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: So also they said what was concerning was they tried 221 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: to get ahold of his wife and they couldn't get 222 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: ahold of his wife. So when they couldn'tet a hold 223 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: of him, they couldn't get a hold of his wife, 224 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: that's when everyone was alarmed and they called nine to 225 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 1: one one. 226 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 3: So the I always find that to be carrying people 227 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 3: like the employers. 228 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. 229 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 2: Instead it's being like, oh my gosh, she didn't show up. 230 00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: What a jer what a jerk. 231 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 3: They're like, we have concerns. Yeah, this is not normal, right, 232 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 3: and I appreciate that. 233 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: So he placed the nine one one call around eight 234 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: fifty eight am, requesting a welfare check and telling the 235 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: dispatcher quote, he is always on time and he would 236 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: contact us if there were any issues. I don't know 237 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: how else to say this, but we are very, very concerned. 238 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: This is very out of character for him, he also said, 239 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: adding quote, we can't get in touch with his wife, 240 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: which is probably the more concerning thing. So police arrived 241 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: at the home around nine twenty two am to conduct 242 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: the wellness check, but received no response at the door. 243 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: At nine to fifty six am, another nine to one 244 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: one call was placed by a friend of the couple 245 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: at the scene, who reported hearing children inside the house, 246 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: and then at approximately ten oh three, a visibly distressed 247 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: friend contacted dispatch after entering the home. There's a body, 248 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: he said. Our friend wasn't answering his door. We just 249 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: came here and he appears dead. Columbus Police later confirmed 250 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: that Spencer and Monique were found deceased inside their Wineland 251 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: Park home. The time of the murders is believed to 252 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: have taken place sometime between two am and five am. 253 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 2: So then my question is how did he enter the home. 254 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: Well, we're going to get to that. We're just giving 255 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: some background information on how police knew to go to 256 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: the house, the friends and family looking for them, him 257 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: not showing up for work. The two children, ages one 258 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: and four, left inside the house unharmed, Thank goodness. There 259 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 1: was also a golden doodle that was unharmed as well. 260 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 1: There was a dog. 261 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 2: Children. Did they see the bodies? 262 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. The children I believe were found in 263 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: their bedrooms and the dog was unharmed as well, So 264 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: all we can. 265 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 2: Hope is that the children didn't have to see that. 266 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: So Michael David McKee, who is a thirty nine year 267 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: old vascular surgeon, was arrested on January tenth, so he's 268 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: arrested eleven days later. They did have I don't know 269 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: if you saw this, so a suspected surgeon killed. Yes, 270 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: a dentists. Yes, they did have video surveillance of someone 271 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: in the alleyway that was walking in the alleyway during 272 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: near the home. 273 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 2: But you couldn't make out who it was. 274 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: Well, it was just a man and like a you know, 275 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 1: like a black hoodie. You couldn't make out what it was. 276 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 1: But I do believe they showed it asking for tips, 277 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: and they knew the murder took place between two and 278 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 1: five am, and I believe he was walking by their 279 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: home around that time period, and so they were looking 280 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: for tips. But they arrested him eleven days later. 281 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 3: On the link it took eleven days for them to 282 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 3: determine who the suspect. 283 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: Was eleven days. Court records show that Michael McKee and 284 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: Monique Teppe were married in August of twenty fifteen. The 285 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: marriage ended less than two years later, when Monique initiated 286 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: divorce proceedings in May of twenty seventeen. So the man 287 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 1: arrested for allegedly killing these two people was her ex husband, but. 288 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 3: Again long ago, because now she moved on. She's married, 289 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 3: she has kids, ages one and four. 290 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: And she's married to a dentist. You know, I had 291 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: to look up vascular surgeon. I didn't know what that was. 292 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I knew, I know he's a doctor and 293 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: he's successful and he's educated. Yes, yes, you're right. The torso, 294 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: the torso, it's the veins. Oh, it's the veins. Yeah, 295 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: I looked it up here. A vascular surgeon is a 296 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: doctor who specializes in treating diseases and conditions affecting the 297 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: body's arteries, veins, and lymphatic system, excluding the heart and brain. 298 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: It says, essentially, a vascular surgeon is acting as the 299 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: plumber for your circulatory system by managing blockages aneurysms. 300 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, lot, but yeah, with vessels, namely in the tour. 301 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 2: So that's why I always understood that. 302 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 3: Okay, oh, you're right, because a heart would be specialty, 303 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 3: a brain would be specialty. 304 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: At the time of the filing, McKee was living in Virginia, 305 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: and records indicate the couple were already separated. The divorce 306 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: was finalized roughly a month later. The filings do not 307 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: reflect any noted hostility between the two, and they do 308 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: not share any children together. So, okay, they were married two. 309 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 2: Years, I believe in any cleaner of a separation. 310 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: No, they were married two years, but I think I 311 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: read or someone did an interview that said basically they 312 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: only lived together like seven months. 313 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, so again, it couldn't be any cleaner separation. 314 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: They had no children, so you're not talking about someone 315 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: that's angry over custody. 316 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 3: They have to maintain a relationship because they got a 317 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 3: co parent, right. 318 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 2: So there's no some business. 319 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: Interaction or anything between the two of them. And this 320 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: is back in twenty fifteen when they were married, So 321 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: you're talking about eleven years later that this man. 322 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 2: Drive divorced in twenty fifteen. 323 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: No, they were married in twenty fifteen, and then they 324 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: were divorced. She started to divorce him in Man twenty seventeen, 325 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: so I mean nine years ago is when their divorce happened. 326 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: So as part of the divorce settlement, McKee retained ownership 327 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: of a two hundred and thirty thousand dollars home in Roanoke, Virginia, 328 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: where he was completing his medical residency. The property and 329 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: mortgage were in his name, and neither party was ordered 330 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: to pay spousal support. Each kept their own vehicles and 331 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: assume responsibility for their individual debts according to their marriage 332 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: their disillusion agreement.

So in order sounds about right. 347 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 2: So then in. 348 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: Order for him, so he he played Yeah, well that 349 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: means that means to me that he was like stalking 350 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: her life. 351 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why. Yeah, he knows where she is. Right. 352 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: So allegedly we just talked about this a little bit. 353 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: We'll we'll go into it more. Michael was abusive in 354 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: the marriage, So Monique's brother in law Rob, his name 355 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: is Rob Missley. I don't know exactly how to say 356 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: his last name, It's mi I. S l e H 357 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: told NBC News she was terrified because he had threatened 358 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: her life on multiple occasions when they were married. She 359 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: wasn't shy about talking to people about her traumatic experiences 360 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: that she had with the ex and just how emotionally 361 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: abusive he was to her. It affected her to this day. 362 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 2: You know. 363 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: The fact that she was strong enough to only be 364 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 1: married to him for a short period, see what she 365 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: was in and to see the red flags, to not 366 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: have children with him, to give him the house right 367 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 1: because it said he retained the home, she probably had 368 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: some interest in it. Even though they were wearried married 369 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: for a short period. Of time, but I'm sure you 370 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: know she probably had some interest in the home. 371 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 2: Either way, she didn't. She didn't go after it. 372 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: Whether she's like I'll take my car and my debt 373 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,719 Speaker 1: and dignity and i'll leave and you take your you 374 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: take the house and your car, and let's just be 375 00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: done with each other. This brother in law, Rob, who 376 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 1: is married to Spencer's sister. He told ABC News that 377 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: Monique had been a very strong person. Myself and many 378 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: others were well aware of the negative impact that this 379 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: ex husband had had on her. She was willing to 380 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: do anything to get out of there. Regarding recent threats, 381 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: he told NBC News, if any of us had known 382 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: these threats were grounded and a possibility, we all would 383 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: have acted differently. You know, I don't know if there's 384 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: recent threats. I don't know if we know. I feel 385 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: like that's probably what they're investigating now, like the forensic footprint, 386 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 1: the digital footprint, Like was he texting her? Was he 387 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: following her on Facebook? And was he sending her messages? 388 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,479 Speaker 1: Was he emailing her? Was he That's what we don't know, 389 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: because what is it that would have triggered someone after 390 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: all these years? Who isn't an intelligent and educated man 391 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: who lives in Virginia and is a vascular surgeon. 392 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 2: Five hundred miles away to drive five. 393 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: Hundred miles in the middle of nights. 394 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 2: He's settled down? Is he a wife and kids? 395 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: And I don't believe he does. 396 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 2: Dang, he drove that whole way. 397 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, in the middle of the night. 398 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 2: Many years later. Yeah. So there's no known reported incidents 399 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 2: between prior to this. 400 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: No, yeah, that we're aware of at this point, right. 401 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 3: So that it might have been private things done, but 402 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 3: nothing surfaced publicly. 403 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: Right, But I thus far, I'm going to guess that 404 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: they're doing some type of deep digital dive into his 405 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: phone and electronics and hers. 406 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, to see if there's a history there, right, 407 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 2: because it's not like he was scrolling in the Explore page. 408 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 2: I just saw her and he's like, oh I remember her? Yeah, 409 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 2: where is she now? 410 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: She's married to. 411 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 2: A tennis Yeah, I gotta get him. 412 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: According to court filings, investigators trace McKee to a vehicle 413 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: scene entering the Tepee's neighborhood shortly before the fatal shootings 414 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: and departing soon after. That vehicle was later found in 415 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: Rockford Illinois and determined to be registered to him. So 416 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: that's how they found him. They looked at surveillance video 417 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: from the neighborhood. 418 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 2: And then there was enough of the vehicle. 419 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess they could get a license plate from it. 420 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: There was, so they see him that car somewhere near 421 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: their residence. 422 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 3: And that car belonged to a residence five hundred miles away. 423 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 3: So it's not like he was in the neighborhood. No, 424 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 3: I mean that's pretty. 425 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: I mean, like he wasn't there visiting his grandma that 426 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: lives in their neighborhood. 427 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 2: Right, it's not like they live. He can't come up 428 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 2: with some silly excuse of like I was going to 429 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 2: the mall or whatever. 430 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: You know. It reminds me also of when we were 431 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: going through the Idaho murders and they got that's how 432 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 1: they that's how they initially were connected to Coburger because 433 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: the car, remember, the car kept so he got him 434 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: on surveillance and he kept going back and forth, and 435 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: then they ended up connecting the license plate to him 436 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: being a student. And yeah, you know, that's what I 437 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: was thinking. When people commit murders now in present day, 438 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: you have to be way savvier. 439 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 2: You mean to not leave any evidence behind. 440 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: Well, first of all, a digital footprint is unreal. I 441 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: mean the way that you can. 442 00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 3: Just they can they can go on his car and 443 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 3: depending on the car, they can look at his GPS 444 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 3: and see if there's a history there. Right, he might 445 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 3: have punched in her address maybe yeah, and so maybe 446 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 3: it's in the favorites. 447 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: And just the surveillance cameras everywhere, oh yeah, and the 448 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: ring footage everywhere. I don't know if you could drive 449 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: anywhere without your vehicle being picked up somewhere at some point, 450 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: and your cell phone. 451 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 3: And the phone, your phone and that, and they don't 452 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 3: necessarily the triangular you know location that they used to use. 453 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 3: Now it's pretty dang accurate. Yeah, it's not like, well 454 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 3: within this, you know, thirty square miles he was there. 455 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: Well, this is what I don't understand of these people 456 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: that or. 457 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 2: And no one uses cash. 458 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 3: So if you go buy gas, right he had to 459 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 3: buy gas in five hundred miles or even if he 460 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 3: had to charge his car, it's going to track it. 461 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 3: It's going to show a trail. 462 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. If you're going to commit a 463 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: murder and don't. 464 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 2: Murder anymore, I know, difficult to get away with in 465 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 2: present day. 466 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: You have to be way smarter too. Over you've got 467 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: to think around those things. You can't cure your cell 468 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 1: phone with you. You can't drive a car. 469 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 3: When they burn down a house or something to try 470 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 3: to get rid of evidence, they actually can create evidence. 471 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 3: He's an accelerator here, you know, there's this and that, 472 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,959 Speaker 3: and sometimes they can look at the gas can and 473 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 3: the backtrack things like that, or if you know someone's 474 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 3: if the body was burned, and then now the house 475 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 3: was burned down, right, and they can't let's say, they 476 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 3: can't determine how the homicide was done, right, how the 477 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 3: murder was committed. But now they know that it was 478 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 3: an arson or it was an intentional act to burn 479 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 3: the house down. So now they know it's a homicide 480 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 3: as opposed to an accident, right because they see accelerators 481 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 3: or they see whatever, or they see it started over 482 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 3: here in the bedroom and there's no reason to start there, 483 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 3: so they actually create evidence. 484 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 2: So the same thing is, if you plan a murder right, 485 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 2: you're actually going to create a lot of breadcrumbs. 486 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: Right because you go get your bikes. 487 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 2: I'm going to look up where she lives. Right, I'm 488 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 2: gonna put it in my GPS. I'm gonna go buy 489 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 2: a gun, right and swipe my card. I mean everything 490 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 2: leaves a footprint exactly. I'm going to ring the door bell. 491 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: No, no ringing the doorbell. 492 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 2: Well, that's why again. 493 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: See we've talked about so many cases. That's why again 494 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: when I think back to Karen Reid, and there's no 495 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: there's no surveillance, there's no ring footage of anything from 496 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: that night. 497 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 3: You just got to get the Boston PD to join 498 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 3: in on the murder if you want to get away with. 499 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: It, prosecutors said. A search of the key's residents turned 500 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: up several firearms, including one that authorities believe may have 501 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: been used in the killings. Investigators also documented three spent 502 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: nine millimeter shell casings that were recovered from the home 503 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 1: and entered into evidence. Officials are still working to establish 504 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: whether the firearm in question was legally purchased. However, the 505 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: firearm that was used was used with a silencer. So 506 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: talk about more planning, right, he purchased a silencer or 507 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: made a silencer. I don't know if it was like 508 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: a homemade one or what. I don't know. Can you 509 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: buy a silencer? I don't even know. Can you just 510 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: you can't? 511 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 2: Can you? 512 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: We're not, I don't know. It seems like why would 513 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 1: you need it. 514 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 3: I think there's restrictions around it, and it's definitely like, 515 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 3: you know, alarming, right. 516 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because why why do you need to silence it? 517 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: Columbus police have also confirmed that McKee was the man 518 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: seen walking in an alley via video surveillance behind the 519 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: Tepees home the night of the murders. A Franklin County 520 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: grand jury has formally indicted Michael McKee on multiple felony charges. 521 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: The indictment, which was issued on January sixteenth, contains five 522 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: counts total, including four counts of aggravated murder and one 523 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: count of aggravated burglary. I just want to talk about 524 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: this for a second, because we did talk about this 525 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: with judg aggravated. The aggravated part. The reason is judgels 526 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: with Judge Lis it's an enhancement. And the reason it's 527 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: aggravated is because one because of the premeditation involved in 528 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: the actual planning, but also the use of the silencer. 529 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's huge, right. 530 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: And then aggravated burglary. It's considered burglary just entering a 531 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 1: home at night with the intent to commit a crime. 532 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: You don't actually have to steal something, even though burglary 533 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: everybody thinks burglary means some like a cat burglar. Burglar, Well, 534 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: like when someone goes in the house and steals something, 535 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: acting like a cat, because it's like a cat burglar, 536 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 1: you know, like they go in the house with the 537 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: intent to steal the But burglary isn't. The intent just 538 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 1: to steal. Burglary is entering a home at night with 539 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 1: the intent to commit a felony. According to charging documents 540 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: released by the Franklin County Prosecutor's Office, McKee is accused 541 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: of possessing a firearm that was equipped with a firearm 542 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: muffler or suppressor on or about his person or under 543 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 1: his control while committing the offense. You know what else, 544 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 1: I read that I was wondering how they knew this. 545 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: I also read that his charges were considered aggravated because 546 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: he showed or brandished the weapon. Each aggravated murder charge 547 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: carries firearms specifications, including a three year enhancement for using 548 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:58,959 Speaker 1: a gun in the commission of the crime. And an 549 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: additional six year and he tied to the alleged use 550 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: of firearms suppressor. You know, it also should be enhanced 551 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 1: because there's kids in the house that probably has something 552 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: to do with it too. It's even though he left 553 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: them alone. There's a one year old and a four 554 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: year old. 555 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 2: The enhancement seller kind of, I mean, I get it. 556 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 3: The idea is like, oh, he's even more evil because 557 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 3: he wanted to silence it. He premeditated it. But I 558 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 3: mean it's not going to work. It's not like someone's 559 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 3: gonna like, dude, don't use a silencer. It might aggravate 560 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 3: the murder. We might get, you know, multiple years attached concurrently. 561 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: So McKee has not entered a plea. Investigators have not 562 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: determined a motive in the killings, and no bond has 563 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: been issued. I don't know, let's think about motive. 564 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 3: I mean, I'll tell you the motive. He wants her 565 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 3: dead and her husband, right. I don't think it's difficult, I. 566 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: Know, but I think people want to wrap their brain 567 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 1: around what it was that triggered him to premeditate get 568 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: in a car, drive five hundred miles nine years later, 569 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: nine years later, and murder two people in their home 570 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: who have children. Why has he not moved? 571 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 2: And then why didn't he kill? Thankfully but he didn't. 572 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 2: But why didn't he touch the children or kill the children? 573 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 2: He does morals has moral kids are off limits? 574 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: Right? You know what else I was thinking about because 575 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: we talked about this before when we did the Christmas 576 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: Eve massacre and remember we to It reminds me because 577 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: remember that guy worked for NASA Santa Claus. He dressed 578 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: up as Santa Claus and then killed his ex wife 579 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: and her basically her entire family on Christmas Eve. But 580 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: he was educated, he worked for NASA, and they had 581 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: only been married a short period of time and they 582 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: had no children. And remember we talked about why why 583 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: do you walk away? Why? I can't remember. I said, 584 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 1: if you want to get revenge, why can't you do 585 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: it in a healthy way, like go to the gym? 586 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: What about revenge? Body like, why do you have to 587 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 1: Why do we have to murder and take people out 588 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: because you're mad that someone moved? 589 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,719 Speaker 2: On time you get mad me, I'm like, babe, just 590 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 2: just go to the gym. 591 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 1: I do.

I'm not talking about someone that 604 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: has a crap life that grew up abused and liked 605 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: know and feels like they have no means of ever 606 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 1: being successful or getting anywhere in life. I'm talking about 607 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: someone who spent a lot of time on education and 608 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: building a career and doing a residency and being a 609 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: doctor and then gets in a car and drives five 610 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: hundred miles in ruins at all. That doesn't make any 611 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: sense to me. That's the part I don't understand. That's 612 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. 613 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 3: I hear what you're saying, but I think the better 614 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 3: argument for your point is if someone can compose themselves 615 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 3: and focus and actually have end goals to work for 616 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 3: NASA or be a vascular surgeon and all these things 617 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 3: to be able to hunker down and do what you 618 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 3: need to do to have such a career to get 619 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 3: to that point.

It's not like he 623 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 2: went to NASA school and he thought, well, these I 624 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 2: learned at NASA school that murder is bad. 625 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: No, NASA school doesn't teach you murder. 626 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 2: NASA school, you know what I mean. 627 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: Let's move on, but we will stay.

Investigators say Joseph Ryan believed he was 834 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,880 Speaker 1: meeting Christine for consensual sex, but the profile was controlled 835 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 1: by Brendan and Juliana the day of the murders. This 836 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: happened on February twenty fourth of twenty twenty three. Authorities 837 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 1: alleged that Joseph Ryan was lured to the Banfield home. 838 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 1: We talked about that under the guise of thinking that 839 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 1: he was showing up for this consensual fetish. 840 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 2: He thought he's gonna get lucky. 841 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,360 Speaker 1: Brendan allegedly turned off his wife's phone, waited at a 842 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: nearby MacDonald's, then entered the home with Juliana and his 843 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 1: four year old daughter. Joseph Ryan showed up to the 844 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 1: home with restraints and a knife for what he believed 845 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: was consensual role play. 846 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 3: This poor guy, it's like, Okay, go to Walmart, get 847 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 3: a murder kit, yeah, and then come over and fulfill 848 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:50,760 Speaker 3: my santsy. 849 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: Prosecutors said Brendan showed up to the house and shot Joseph, 850 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 1: staging it like he saved his wife from a madman. 851 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: Right Like, he shows up and he's like my wife 852 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 1: being attacked and he shoots him and then stabbed his 853 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 1: wife afterwards staging that as if Joseph had did that 854 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,279 Speaker 1: to her, and that's why he was staging here. And 855 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,799 Speaker 1: then when Joseph tried to move, Juliana shot him again. 856 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 1: I guess he wasn't dead when the husband shot him 857 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 1: the first time. He tried to move and then she 858 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 1: shot him, so they both shot him, both allegedly shot him. 859 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 1: Christine Banfield later died at the hospital from her injuries. 860 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: I heard the nine to one one call, and then 861 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: there's some bodycam footage, like when the police show up. 862 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 1: It's chaotic. Can you imagine what the scene shows up? 863 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 1: There's the O pair that's crying and screaming, there's the husband, 864 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 1: there's a dead wife, and there's another man there. 865 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 3: There's weapons and there's a knife, and cops come and 866 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 3: they don't know who's who. 867 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 2: No, are you a murderer or are you a victory? Right? 868 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 1: And they pull her outside and they're trying to understand 869 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,680 Speaker 1: what's going on and they're talking to her and the 870 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 1: husband's giving them a different story. 871 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,879 Speaker 2: And there's two dead right, we'll talk later. 872 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 1: So it's it's chaotic. Can you imagine like the scene, 873 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,839 Speaker 1: how chaotic that is? Wow? So then this happened in 874 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 1: February of twenty twenty three. Then in October of twenty 875 00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:02,879 Speaker 1: twenty three, Juliana was arrested and initially charged with second 876 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:03,479 Speaker 1: degree murder. 877 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 2: I took that long, huh. 878 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 1: She later pleaded guilty to manslaughter and agreed to testify 879 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 1: against Brendan, telling investigators that she had shot Joseph as directed. 880 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 2: You know. 881 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,320 Speaker 1: Also, I don't know how much investigating they were doing 882 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 1: after this chaotic scene and the wife dies and the 883 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,959 Speaker 1: man was there, But I did read that the investigators 884 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,759 Speaker 1: ended up going back to the home later after this 885 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 1: incident occurred. I don't know if they were searching. I 886 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 1: don't know if they were just going to talk to 887 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: them again. But when they went into the home, this 888 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 1: is what tipped them off. They go in the master bedroom, 889 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 1: she had moved all of her clothes in, and all 890 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: of the photos that used to be Brendan and his 891 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 1: wife were all replaced in frames with him and the O. 892 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:50,320 Speaker 2: Pair Phase two photos. 893 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 1: Right. So, I think that was the turning point in 894 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:55,839 Speaker 1: the investigation where they were like. 895 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,240 Speaker 2: The she he moved on quickly, He moved on quickly. 896 00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 1: She moved in, she moved her clothes in and she 897 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,399 Speaker 1: took all the photos of the woman out and put 898 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 1: her photos in with him. So and allegedly now that 899 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 1: she's talking right, because she took a plea deal. She 900 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,839 Speaker 1: has all this evidence of them dating and going out 901 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 1: on dates, but she would always cover his face. She 902 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,759 Speaker 1: would post like snapchat and like going out on a 903 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 1: date with her boyfriend, but she would always cover his face. 904 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,279 Speaker 1: But now she's saying, no, that you know that was 905 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 1: that was him, Like we we went to bars and 906 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: restaurants and we were dating and we were together. 907 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:32,840 Speaker 3: So it was too thinking when they sit down and 908 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 3: they write up this plan. I don't know how many 909 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,360 Speaker 3: different versions did they have too, where they're. 910 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 1: Like, no, no, no, let's do uh. 911 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, like yeah no, no, make sure he brings a 912 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 2: knife not a gun, and all these and then they 913 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 2: thought then at one point they thought, yeah, this is good, 914 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 2: this is good. We're going to get away with. 915 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,360 Speaker 1: It, and let's do it. Like where do you like? 916 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,720 Speaker 1: Where at what point do you think? I guess they didn't. 917 00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 1: There was never a point where they thought, this doesn't 918 00:42:58,080 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 1: really sound like a great idea. 919 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,760 Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, I'd love to interview those people. 920 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,400 Speaker 2: Yeah I would that actually said I was going to 921 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 2: murder my wife, and I planned it all and then 922 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,400 Speaker 2: I changed my mind. Yeah, you want to know what 923 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,120 Speaker 2: changed your mind. 924 00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,240 Speaker 1: So then September to October of twenty twenty four, Banfield 925 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 1: was arrested nearly two years after the killings, following a 926 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 1: traffic stop. Prosecutors presented evidence of his romantic relationship with Juliana, 927 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 1: photos from the home, and other materials indicating planning and 928 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,839 Speaker 1: execution of the murders. At the time, Banfield worked as 929 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 1: an IRS Criminal Investigation Division agent. Then this this was 930 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 1: last week, so January of twenty twenty six, Banfield's trial begins. 931 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:42,400 Speaker 1: He faces charges including aggravated murder, use of a firearm, 932 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,359 Speaker 1: and a felony child abuse and child. 933 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 2: So she's not on trial anymore, like she was sentenced 934 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 2: and everything. 935 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,960 Speaker 1: Well, no, she hasn't had her sentencing yet. Her sentencing 936 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 1: is after his trial. But she's the star witness against him. 937 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 2: But she's pled guilty and that's all accepted and everything. 938 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 1: She got a plea deal. She pled guilty to manslaughter 939 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,920 Speaker 1: and that was accept and yes, so then she has 940 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,440 Speaker 1: to be sentenced. So now she's the star witness for 941 00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:09,600 Speaker 1: the prosecution. Basically saying that he was the mastermind, and 942 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 1: he controlled everything, and he made the fetish website and 943 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:16,759 Speaker 1: he did everything. Now, what it's going to come down to, 944 00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,240 Speaker 1: because there's a jury of sixteen people that are hearing 945 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 1: this trial, it's going to come down to do they 946 00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,280 Speaker 1: believe her? Is she credible? 947 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 2: Well? He he they killed her, yeah, but yes. 948 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,359 Speaker 1: But but the defense is going to say she's the mastermind. 949 00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:38,400 Speaker 2: What I'm suggesting is he'll still be convicted of some 950 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 2: level of homicide if he pulled the trigger. 951 00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:44,480 Speaker 1: We don't know that, That's what I'm saying. No one 952 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 1: knows exactly what happened in that house. You think he's 953 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,160 Speaker 1: a defense is going to say that he did pull 954 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 1: the trigger. They're going to say she was the mastermind. 955 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 1: She pulled the trigger. She stabbed him, Okay, and he 956 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,239 Speaker 1: was like. 957 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,879 Speaker 2: He and his wife was being attacked. Yeah, well that's 958 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,239 Speaker 2: far fetched because as they're out, well, I don't know, 959 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,799 Speaker 2: it'll it'll matter what kind of evidence there is, because 960 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 2: you're right. I was about to say, well they have 961 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:08,759 Speaker 2: photos and they're out all the time, but it could 962 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:09,960 Speaker 2: be like, yeah, we're out all time, and I was 963 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,880 Speaker 2: an affair a level, right, And then she killed her 964 00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 2: and then she moved into my room. 965 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 1: If she is not credible, that's going to put reasonable 966 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,399 Speaker 1: doubt in the minds of the jury. And you know 967 00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,359 Speaker 1: you only need reasonable doubt too. 968 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, but they also might see her like you, you're going 969 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 2: to steer and be like, oh, yeah, some personian old 970 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:28,799 Speaker 2: pair of course he did it. 971 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 1: Well, we'll see. Also, the defense has claimed and it'll 972 00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:37,960 Speaker 1: be interesting to see because they're they're putting on their 973 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 1: case this week and we'll follow that. But they the 974 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:46,520 Speaker 1: defense attorney claims that they have digital evidence that's going 975 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:50,440 Speaker 1: to dispute what she says. Who cares, I know, but 976 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,319 Speaker 1: let's see what it is. I mean, what forensics do 977 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,080 Speaker 1: they have to dispute her claims. And that'll be interesting 978 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,239 Speaker 1: to see because the defense attorney says, people lie, but 979 00:45:58,800 --> 00:45:59,920 Speaker 1: forensics don't lie. 980 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 2: Yeah's hands, yes, but they didn't take they didn't swab it, 981 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,400 Speaker 2: so we can't get her DNA off of his hands 982 00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:08,320 Speaker 2: at this point. 983 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,319 Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to follow this case, that's for sure. 984 00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,400 Speaker 1: So anyway, well, whose blood would it be? 985 00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:19,240 Speaker 2: Maybe it was that, Well you need it again, he's 986 00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 2: I don't know. 987 00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 1: I'm just saying the defense, this is what the defense 988 00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 1: is going to do They're going to create reasonable doubt 989 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:29,160 Speaker 1: by by blasting her credibility. They're gonna paint her oh 990 00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:33,520 Speaker 1: because also she was also having communications with producers talking 991 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,279 Speaker 1: about how she wants to make a you know, reality show, 992 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:40,319 Speaker 1: not a reality show, like sell her story, like you know, 993 00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:45,040 Speaker 1: like a Hulu and special.
