0:00.0	Welcome to MK True Crime. I'm Ashley Merchant. I'm a criminal defense attorney out of Atlanta, Georgia, and here's what's on the docket today.
0:11.6	A suspect was finally arrested in the murders of Spencer and Monique Tepe will give you the latest.
0:17.5	And Diddy loses his hope of a presidential pardon, with an appeal now being his only chance
0:22.2	of getting out of jail. We'll bring you up to speed. And Nancy Grace, former prosecutor and host of
0:27.5	crime stories with Nancy Grace, will join us to discuss a couple things. First, the wrongful death
0:32.2	lawsuit filed against the university where Brian Coburger was a teaching assistant assistant and the latest in the Nick Reiner case.
0:39.3	I'm joined today by my co-host, Phil Holloway, also a criminal lawyer and a former police officer.
0:45.6	So, Phil, let's start with the shocking update in the Teppi murders.
0:49.7	Just a reminder, this is a Columbus, Ohio dentist, Spencer Teppi, and his wife, Monique. They were
0:55.7	murdered and their bodies were found on December 30th. A suspect was arrested and charged just this
1:00.8	past weekend. That person happens to be Monique Tepe's ex-husband, Michael McKee. So let's see
1:07.8	what's going on in that case. So Mr. McKee is her ex-husband, Phil, and he was just charged with murder, which, you know,
1:14.6	it seems a little odd to me because they were married quite some time ago.
1:18.6	But what happened just to catch everybody up is the couple was found right before New Year's Eve.
1:24.6	They have since arrested the ex-husband, Mr. McKee. They were found fatally shot, though, outside of Columbus, Ohio. And what's really disturbing mostly, I think, is the fact that they had two young children that were home at the time. They had one and a four-year-old. Luckily, those children were not harmed, but they're with a relative. But they were home at the time of these murders. They think it happened overnight.
1:45.5	But the suspect, Mr. McKee, has just recently been arrested.
1:48.6	He was arrested last Saturday, and he's been charged according to Franklin County Municipal Court.
1:54.6	He's been charged with murder, aggravated murder, and he has waived extradition.
1:59.5	So he's coming back.
2:00.8	He's going to be transferred back to Franklin County, Ohio, to face these new charges.
2:05.3	So, Phil, this extradition decision, he waived his extradition.
2:10.1	And that means, as you and I know, that he's going to be back in court in Ohio in 30 days.
