The Nightmare Tenant: The Murders of Karen Koep & Davido

In November 2023, the tight-knit community of Lacey, Washington, was rocked when a beloved local chiropractor, Dr. Karen Koep, mysteriously failed to show up for work. When deputies arrived at the home she shared with her husband, Davido, they found a chilling scene: the exterior locks had been bizarrely drilled out, and the air was thick with the chemical smell of bleach. Inside, investigators discovered an "unsurvivable" amount of blood, with the frantic tracks of a household vacuum cleaner dragged straight through it. But Karen and Davido were nowhere to be found. The investigation quickly zeroed in on the couple's rental property compound and a tenant named Timothy Burke. To put it simply, what began as a standard landlord-tenant dispute had secretly mutated into a terrifying, paranoid delusion, culminating in every property owner's absolute worst nightmare. Join Ashley and Ricky this week as they break down the chaotic forensics of the crime scene, the chilling digital footprint left behind by the killer, and the tragic loss of a couple who dedicated their lives to healing and helping those around them.
