Summary

We begin with the latest developments in the murders of Spencer and Monique Tepe, including new context surrounding the suspect, his background, and unanswered questions investigators are still working through. From there, we move into a murder investigation in England following the discovery of human remains, a machete incident involving teenagers in Scotland, and multiple federal child exploitation sentences handed down across the U.S.

We also cover a homicide-suicide near the Idaho-Wyoming border, a kidnapping and carjacking case that has now escalated to federal charges, and a violent gas station assault in Arkansas that left a young man seriously injured.
