Diddy’s Fury Explodes: What Netflix’s New Doc Really Reveals About Him

Columbus police confirmed this week that the Tepe murders were a targeted domestic violence attack. Dr. Michael McKee, a vascular surgeon with no criminal history, allegedly killed his ex-wife Monique and her husband Spencer eight years after their divorce was finalized.No documented threats. No protection orders. Nothing on paper. Just a man who, according to behavioral experts, may have spent nearly a decade collecting wounds and assigning blame — waiting for the moment to act.Robin Dreeke is a former FBI Special Agent who ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He's an expert on identifying dangerous personalities before they become dangerous. Today he joins us to analyze the McKee case through a behavioral lens.We cover: What defines a "wound collector" versus someone who simply holds a grudge. How professional success can mask violent resentment. The psychology of blame — how wound collectors convince themselves they're the victim. What role the June 2025 court activity might have played as a trigger. Why watching an ex-spouse's public happiness can accelerate the spiral. McKee's courtroom demeanor — what confidence and apparent satisfaction might indicate. And whether there are behavioral red flags that could have been spotted earlier.McKee maintains his innocence and plans to plead not guilty to two counts of premeditated aggravated murder — death penalty eligible in Ohio.Two children are now orphans. Understanding why this happened won't change that. But it might save someone else.#TrueCrimeToday #WoundCollector #MichaelMcKee #TeepeMurders #RobinDreeke #FBIAnalysis #BehavioralPsychology #SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #TrueCrimeNewsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Here's something most people don't know: In California, families cannot start an involuntary psychiatric conservatorship. Only hospital staff can initiate that process — and only if the patient is "gravely disabled," meaning unable to provide food, clothing, or shelter for themselves.Being violent doesn't count. Being delusional doesn't count. Terrorizing your family doesn't count. If you can tell a psychiatrist where you're going to sleep tonight, you walk out the door.Nick Reiner reportedly lived in his parents' guest house. He allegedly had food, clothing, shelter — provided by Rob and Michele. Under California law, that meant he wasn't "gravely disabled." So even if he was psychotic, even if his medication had been changed and he was spiraling, even if his father told friends he was afraid for his life — there was nothing the family could legally do to force long-term treatment.This episode explores the 1967 law that created this reality. The Lanterman-Petris-Short Act was supposed to end the abuses of indefinite commitment. It succeeded. But it also stripped families of any meaningful ability to intervene before tragedy strikes. California went from 37,000 patients in state hospitals to fewer than 1,500 on conservatorships today.Where did everyone go? Nursing homes. Family homes. The streets. And increasingly, jails and prisons — which now function as America's largest psychiatric facilities.The Reiners did everything the system told them to do. They paid for treatment. They kept Nick close. They tried to help. And the system that was supposed to protect them had been dismantled decades before Nick was born.#TrueCrimeToday #RobReiner #NickReiner #MicheleReiner #MentalHealthLaw #GravelyDisabled #5150 #LPSAct #SystemFailure #TrueCrime2026Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Juliana Peres Magalhães admitted on the stand that she pulled the trigger on Joseph Ryan. She testified that she watched Brendan Banfield stab his wife Christine to death. And she's the only living witness to what happened in that bedroom.But the defense showed the jury jail letters where Magalhães promised to never cooperate, said she would "take the blame" for Banfield, and declared she would "give my life for his." She only flipped after she was hospitalized, after Banfield's family stopped paying her lawyer, and after she started negotiating with Netflix.Former FBI special agent Robin Dreeke — who led the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — joins True Crime Today to evaluate the au pair's credibility. What red flags does he see? How does a behavioral expert assess a witness who lied for a year? And does the Netflix deal change everything — or is it just noise?Banfield has pleaded not guilty.

Major developments in the Tepe family murders out of Columbus, Ohio. Police have confirmed the murder weapon was recovered from Michael McKee's Chicago residence. NIBIN — the federal ballistics database — matched shell casings from Spencer and Monique Tepe's bedroom to a firearm seized from McKee's penthouse. Multiple weapons were recovered. McKee, 39, is a vascular surgeon and Monique's ex-husband. They divorced in 2017 after a seven-month marriage. Eight years later, police say he allegedly drove 300 miles to their home and executed both of them while their children slept. The children — a 4-year-old girl and 1-year-old boy — were found alive. According to Law & Crime, McKee reportedly gave police an alibi that fell apart before his arrest. He was taken into custody at a Chick-fil-A in Rockford, Illinois by ATF agents. At a press conference, Chief Elaine Bryant called this a "targeted domestic violence attack." When asked if McKee had been seen near the Tepe home days before the murders, she said police couldn't share that information — but didn't deny it. The family says the arrest was "not a shock." Spencer's brother-in-law said Monique never called McKee by name. Called him a monster. Said she was always worried about him. McKee is charged with two counts of aggravated murder with prior calculation and design. He waived extradition and plans to plead not guilty. Court date is January 23rd. In Ohio, aggravated murder is death penalty eligible.#TrueCrimeToday #TepeMurders #MichaelMcKee #BreakingNews #MurderWeapon #SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #OhioMurder #SurgeonArrested #DomesticViolenceJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brendan Banfield wasn't just a husband accused of murder — he was a trained IRS Criminal Investigation agent. Prosecutors allege he used his expertise to build a months-long plot to kill his wife and frame a stranger, staging the scene to look like a home invasion gone wrong.Former FBI special agent Robin Dreeke — who ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — joins True Crime Today to analyze the alleged behavior behind the case. What does the level of planning suggest about Banfield's psychology? How does law enforcement training shape this kind of alleged crime? And what behavioral red flags stand out in the evidence presented at trial?We break down the 911 call, the framed photo on the nightstand, the four-year-old left waiting in the basement, and what all of it may tell us about control, arrogance, and premeditation.Banfield has pleaded not guilty to four counts of aggravated murder.

David Carmichael crushed sleeping pills into his 11-year-old son's orange juice, waited for the drugs to take effect, and strangled him to death. He'd researched murder charges online. He expected 25 years in prison. He planned the whole thing. The verdict? Not criminally responsible. He walked out of a psychiatric facility after about two years.Could the same legal standard save Nick Reiner?Under the M'Naghten rule used in California, insanity doesn't require proving you didn't know right from wrong. The second prong asks whether you understood the "nature and quality" of your actions. Carmichael knew killing was illegal — but in his psychotic state, triggered by the SSRI Paxil, he believed his healthy son was suffering. He thought he was performing mercy. The delusion changed what he believed he was doing.Nick Reiner's medication for schizoaffective disorder was reportedly changed one month before the killings because he complained about weight gain. Sources say it "messed him up profoundly." Now he reportedly admits to killing his parents but believes his incarceration is a conspiracy against him.Same legal standard. Same medication trigger argument. Different history.Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke examines the behavioral patterns. Carmichael had no history of manipulation. Nick has 30 years of it. His father said experts repeatedly warned the family Nick was "lying or manipulating them." Carmichael didn't flee. Nick reportedly checked into a hotel and navigated LA for 24 hours.Robin explains why post-offense behavior matters, how families normalize chaos until intervention fatigue sets in, and why the story told after the act may matter most.The defense exists. The question is whether anyone will believe it from someone who's spent a lifetime making sure no one should.#NickReiner #DavidCarmichael #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #RobinDreeke #InsanityDefense #MNaghten #TrueCrimeToday #BehaviorAnalysis #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Fifty times in a single day. That's how often JP Miller allegedly contacted his estranged wife Mica, according to the federal indictment. He tracked her with GPS devices. Posted intimate photos of her online without consent. Sabotaged her car. Then lied to FBI investigators about it.Mica Miller died on April 27, 2024 — 48 hours after serving him divorce papers. Her death was ruled a suicide. Now JP Miller faces federal cyberstalking charges.He pleaded not guilty in a Florence, South Carolina courtroom, then slipped out a back door while over seventy people waited and protesters chanted outside. Bond was set at $100,000 with strict conditions: ankle monitor, no firearms, no contact with victims, surrender of passport.Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke — who ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — breaks down what the indictment reveals about predatory behavior and coercive control. Sworn affidavits describe years of isolation, financial manipulation, threats, and surveillance. Mica told police JP had "groomed" her since she was ten years old.His first wife Alison filed an affidavit alleging he confessed to affairs, hiring prostitutes, and being "sexually inappropriate" with underage church members. She says she went to police in 2015. They told her no one would believe her. Two civil lawsuits now accuse Miller of sexually assaulting minors in the late 1990s.And then there's Chris Skinner — a quadriplegic Army veteran who drowned in 2021, two weeks after allegedly confronting Miller about an affair with his wife. That wife is now married to JP Miller. He officiated Chris's funeral.Robin Dreeke analyzes the behavioral patterns, the control tactics, and what it takes to stop someone like this.#JPMiller #MicaMiller #JusticeForMica #RobinDreeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Habib Balian prosecuted the Menendez brothers. He prosecuted Robert Durst. Now he has Nick Reiner — a man who reportedly admits killing his parents but allegedly doesn't understand why he's in jail.Defense attorney Bob Motta joins True Crime Today to map out the legal road ahead. Nick is reportedly not competent to stand trial. His medication was changed one month before the murders. Alan Jackson withdrew from the case under circumstances he's "legally prohibited" from explaining. Nick is now represented by a public defender.But the insanity defense in California doesn't work the way most people think. You don't have to prove the defendant didn't know right from wrong — only that he didn't understand the "nature and quality" of his actions. TMZ's documentary cited the David Carmichael case, where a father who methodically planned his son's killing was found not criminally responsible because he was operating under a psychotic delusion.According to TMZ sources, Nick believes his incarceration is part of a conspiracy against him. And in a way, he's right — just not how he thinks. For 32 years, every system Nick touched conspired to protect him from consequences. The money. The rehabs. The family. More than 18 treatment facilities that cashed checks and released him after 30 days.A family associate told the New York Times that the Reiners had "grown used to" Nick's behavior. Now that conspiracy has flipped. Everyone is conspiring to do what nobody could do before: hold Nick Reiner accountable.Bob Motta examines what the defense must prove, whether victim family sentiment affects prosecution, and what the timeline looks like for a case that may not see trial for years.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #HabibBalian #BobMotta #TrueCrimeToday #InsanityDefense #MenendezBrothers #TrueCrime #ReinerCaseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
