Anna was found strangled and stuffed under a bed on a Carnival Cruise, and still no arrests have been made.

In a shocking moment in the investigation, while Monique and Spencer are out of town at the Big 10 Championship game on December 6, McKee is captured on video entering the "curtilage" of the Tepe home. "Curtilage" is the property immediately surrounding a home and is considered an extension of the dwelling for Fourth Amendment purposes. In the second half of the championship game, Monique excuses herself and returns to the hotel room. This is at the same time McKee is at the Tepe home. Asked "why" she left the game, Spencer tells friends Monique is upset about something involving her ex-husband. During the time of the homicides, McKee's phone is left at St. Anthony Hospital in Rockford and shows no activity for about 17 hours from December 29 until after noon on December 30. Friends and family tell investigators how Monique's ex-husband McKee had been abusive and made numerous threats on her life during and after their marriage. Friends and family also tell investigators that McKee would force Monique into unwanted sex and strangulation. McKee tells Monique he can kill her any time he wants; he will buy the house right next door to her, and she is always going to be his wife.

By the time a friend arrives at the Tepe home, the couple's infant son, Beckham, had been stuck in his cage...hungry, crying, for hours. Family members do not believe the 17-month-old or his older sister, Emilia, witness the murder of their parents, as they both have their own private bedrooms. Accused killer Michael McKee waived extradition with the transfer back to Ohio, taking 10 days. In Columbus, McKee is booked into the new, state-of-the-art James A. Karnes Corrections Center. The facility, designed using the best features of the most modern jail facilities in the country, enhances the Division of Corrections commitment to reducing recidivism and increasing public safety through effective reentry programs. At his arraignment, McKee pleaded not guilty, and waived a request for bond. McKee will remain in Karnes Corrections Center until his attorney seeks bail or the case goes to trial.

Elizabeth Short was an American woman found nude, murdered in Los Angeles, California, in 1947.  She became known as the "Black Dahlia." The case was highly publicized due to its gruesome nature, and remains unsolved. The Zodiac killer, pseudonym of an unidentified serial killer, murdered at least five people in the San Francisco Bay Area over the span of about nine months. He claimed in letters to have killed 37 people, but he was never identified. A new book suggests a conclusion, a connection between the death of the "Black Dahlia" and The Zodiac killer.  Alex Baber, Director at 'Cold Case Consultants of America'  says he's used AI and his code breaking skills to crack the Zodiac Killer's letter. The Zodiac Killer and Black Dahlia killer are the same.
