Summary
Robin Dreeke spent thirty years in the FBI reading behavior, building cases, and getting people to reveal themselves. Today he tackles three major cases in one comprehensive interview. The Michael McKee case: the surgeon allegedly told his ex-wife Monique Tepe he could kill her "at any time" — eight years after their divorce. Robin explains the behavioral profile of possessive obsession and what the reconnaissance trip to her home signals. The Ellen Greenberg case: the feds are reportedly investigating whether people who handled her death committed crimes. Robin breaks down how corruption cases unfold and what makes people flip. The Brendan Banfield case: the defendant called the accusation "absolutely crazy" and then his alibi fell apart. Robin analyzes what the testimony, the letters, and the blood evidence reveal. Three different cases at three different stages — all examined through the lens of someone who's spent decades understanding how killers think, how institutions cover up, and how the truth eventually surfaces.

| 1:57.3 | Remember, we didn't have much details except the murder, the being married eight years ago. |
| 2:02.2 | And we said back then, there's going to be leakage along the way about how this thing go from zero to 100. And we are finding out it did not go from zero to 100 for him. He is |
| 2:08.4 | excluding, exuding. Exuding. That's the leakage all over the place. And actually, because of this |
