A Fatal Divorce: The Double Homicide of Monique and Spencer Tepe
Feb 2300:38:33Summary readyIn this episode: On December 30, 2025, dentist Spencer Tepe didn't show up for work. When police arrived at his Columbus home for a welfare check, they found him and his wife Monique shot to death. Their two young children, ages 1 and 4, were unharmed inside the house. Within weeks, investigators arrested Monique's ex-husband, vascular surgeon Michael McKee. Surveillance footage showed him stalking the couple's home weeks before the murders. Friends say he'd been threatening Monique for years, telling her he could "kill her at any time" and that "she will always be his wife." This is the story of a divorce that turned deadly—and the red flags surrounding the case. #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast #CrimeStory #DoubleHomicide #SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #MichaelMcKee #TrueStory #IWishYouWereHerePod #UnsolvedMystery #TrueCrimeStoryteller 🎧 Listen to the Podcast Apple Podcasts: I Wish You Were Here on Apple Podcast Spotify:I Wish You Were Here on Spotify All Platforms: https://hoo.be/mshellllly 🤝 This Episode Is Sponsored By COZY EARTH Start the New Year off right and give your home the luxury it deserves, and make home the best part of life. 🔗 Link: cozyearth.con/WISH for up to 20% off! 🤝 This Episode Is Sponsored By REMI Start the new year right and use code WISH to get 50% off your purchase of a new night guard! 🔗 Link: shopremi.com/WISH 🌐 Follow Me TikTok: TikTok Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mshellllly/ YouTube: I Wish You Were Here on YouTube 🖤 Disclaimer This episode discusses real events involving real people.

The Elite Names in Epstein's Birthday Records : Following the Paper Trail
Feb 1900:45:10Summary ready🎙️ The Elite Names in Epstein's Birthday Records : Following the Paper Trail In this episode: In 2003, Ghislaine Maxwell — Jeffrey Epstein's close associate and later his convicted co-conspirator — put together a gift for Epstein's 50th birthday. She called it The First Fifty Years. It's a THICK, leather-bound scrapbook, 238 pages long, filled with handwritten letters, personal photos, crude drawings, and inside jokes from some of the most powerful people on the planet. For years, this book sat hidden. Then in July 2025, the Wall Street Journal broke the story of its existence. In September 2025, the House Oversight Committee released it publicly - after subpoenaing it from Epstein's estate. Today, we're breaking down what's in this book, who contributed, what it tells us about Epstein's network, and what we still don't know. Let's get into it. #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast #CrimeStory #EpsteinFiles #JeffreyEpstein #GhislaineMaxwell #EpsteinFiles #Survivor #MeTooMovement #IWishYouWereHerePod #UnsolvedMystery #TrueCrimeStoryteller 🎧 Listen to the Podcast Apple Podcasts:I Wish You Were Here on Apple PodcastSpotify:I Wish You Were Here on Spotify All Platforms: https://hoo.be/mshellllly 🤝 This Episode Is Sponsored By MINT MOBILE This January, quit overspending on wireless with 50% off Unlimited premium wireless.
