Prescription for Murder: The Ohio Dentist Double Homicide
Friday May 29, 2026 12:05pm - 1:00pm PDT
A surgeon stands at the center of a chilling mystery, accused of stalking the life he once left behind. Michael McKee allegedly threatened his ex-wife, Monique Tepe, with haunting words that suggested he would never truly let her go. She and her husband, Spencer Tepe, were found gunned down in their Ohio home with their children inexplicably left unharmed, sleeping in their bedrooms nearby. Investigators have been left piecing together a dark trail of possible obsession and a presence that may have been lurking long before the night of the murders.

With exclusive sources and a complete breakdown of evidence, Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber, Christ Stewart, Sierra Gillespie and Cody Thomas, alongside CourtTV’s Vinnie Politan present ‘Prescription for Murder: The Killings of Spencer and Monique Tepe.’

Hunting the Boogeyman: Paul Holes and the First Known Survivor of the NorCal Rapist
Friday May 29, 2026 1:20pm - 2:20pm PDT
Best known for helping crack the Golden State Killer case using investigative genetic genealogy, Paul Holes has spent decades advancing how law enforcement approaches complex cases.

Joining him is Nicole Earnest-Payte, survivor, advocate, and the first known victim of the convicted NorCal Rapist. After being attacked in her home at just 21 years old, Nicole spent years fighting for her case to be taken seriously — efforts that ultimately helped reveal a disturbing pattern of similar attacks across Northern California.

Their story is the subject of Hunting the Bogeyman, the podcast from Sony Music's The Binge, which follows Nicole’s pursuit of answers and the investigation that revealed a serial predator operating for decades. Holes and Earnest-Payte explore the case, the investigation that finally identified the attacker, and one survivor’s remarkable fight to be heard.

The Housekeeper Knows All: What Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson Witnessed Working for the Murdaughs
Friday May 29, 2026 1:20pm - 2:20pm PDT
In June 2021, the brutal murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh at the family’s Moselle hunting estate exposed a web of power, privilege, and deception that would end with Alex Murdaugh convicted of their killings. For years before that night, Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson worked inside the Murdaugh home — quietly observing the routines, relationships, and private world behind one of South Carolina’s most powerful legal dynasties. When the case went to trial, her testimony helped jurors understand what was normal inside that house — and what wasn’t — including key details about Alex’s movements, the clothing he was wearing that day, and the changes she noticed in the aftermath of the murders.

In this compelling conversation, Criminally Obsessed host Anne Emerson sits down with Blanca to discuss what she witnessed inside the Murdaugh home, what it meant to testify in her former boss's murder trial, and how she has moved forward in the years since.

Alcatraz Escape: The Truth Behind America’s Most Famous Prison Break
Friday May 29, 2026 4:15pm - 5:15pm PDT
For more than 60 years, one question has haunted investigators and fascinated the world: did anyone actually escape from Alcatraz?

On the night of June 11, 1962, inmates Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin carried out one of the most daring prison breaks in American history - digging through air vents with sharpened spoons, fooling guards with papier-mâché heads in their beds, and slipping into the darkness of San Francisco Bay on a makeshift raft stitched together from prison raincoats.

The FBI concluded the men drowned in the icy waters. But their bodies were never found. Now, newly revealed FBI files, fresh forensic analysis, and decades of unanswered questions suggest the story may not be over.

Coinciding with a brand-new Discovery series investigating the escape, this riveting session brings the experts featured in the show to the CrimeCon stage: CSI authority Sheryl McCollum, Anglin family nephew Ken Widner, podcast hosts and producers Rob and Cindy Dorfmann, former U.S. Marshal Lenny DePaul, and retired FBI agent Stewart Fillmore. Together, they’ll take us inside the legendary prison break and the mystery of what may have happened after three men vanished into the night.

Cocaine Quarterback: A USC Champion’s Fall into Crime & Fight for Redemption
Friday May 29, 2026 5:30pm - 6:30pm PDT
Raised in a volatile home in Redondo Beach, California, Owen Hanson found purpose and identity in sports. After walking on to USC’s championship football team, he entered a world of wealth, privilege, and influence — and became determined to claim the lifestyle he saw around him.

What started with selling steroids and running BetOdog, a high-stakes sports betting operation, quickly escalated into large-scale drug trafficking, money laundering, and international cartel ties. By his 20s, Hanson was living a life of luxury — until millions went missing, addiction deepened, and federal investigators began unraveling it all.

After his arrest, Hanson served nearly a decade of a 21-year sentence. Behind bars, he confronted the choices that led him there and found an unexpected path forward. A makeshift protein ice cream made from commissary ingredients sparked the idea for California Ice Protein, the company he founded after earning his MBA in prison.

Moderated by Nate Eaton, this conversation goes inside the story of The California Kid and Amazon Prime’s Cocaine Quarterback, as Hanson shares his story of accountability, redemption and rebuilding from the ground up.
