CrimeCon 2026

Before we dive in, let's catch you up. Our signature opening video is more than a recap—it's a powerful look at the stories that have shaped the past year in true crime. The ones that stayed with us. The moments that sparked conversation, demanded justice, and brought this community together. A reminder of why we’re all here. Welcome to CrimeCon—you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The opening will play on the video screens in the Ballroom, Breakout One, and Breakout Two simultaneously. The Creator Studio does not have screens. Please select the room that will host the first programming session you plan to attend as that session will begin as soon as the opening ends.

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.’

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.

It is the case that continues to grip the nation.

Join Fox Nation's "The Weekly Rap Sheet with Paul Mauro" with co-hosts Donna Rotunno and Josh Ritter, along with Fox Digital's Michael Ruiz, as they take a deep dive into the Nancy Guthrie case. The team, who spent weeks on the ground in Tucson, reveal the latest developments in the ongoing search and the cutting-edge tools available to find her as investigators continue their search for justice.

The expert panel will also draw parallels between the Guthrie case and two of history’s most infamous celebrity abductions: the 1963 kidnapping of Frank Sinatra Jr. and the 1993 Las Vegas kidnapping of Kevyn Wynn. While decades apart, these cases share a series of distinct parallels.

On the heels of ABC’s primetime series, “Betrayal: Secrets & Lies,” we’re diving deeper into the Betrayal universe in this session, exploring its evolution from hit podcast to Hulu docuseries to primetime on ABC. Survivor led true crime is at the core of what the Betrayal brand represents, and in revealing the true stories of people whose lives are torn apart by those closest to them, survivors are able to lift and shift blame off of themselves, holding those responsible to account.
 
People are conditioned to trust those they love, and when there is a betrayal, it radically causes one's world to shift on its axis. These stories follow lives undone and shine a light on the courage it takes to not only survive but thrive on the other side. The strength and resilience of survivors is the heartbeat of these stories, and the Betrayal community continues to grow.


When Karoline Borega married a respected Colorado Springs Police officer, she believed she’d married a man of honor. In reality, this man swore to two sacred oaths - one to his badge, one to his wife - and broke them both. This session, moderated by ABC News correspondent John Quiñones, features Borega from season four of the podcast, alongside Glass Entertainment President Nancy Glass, and Betrayal podcast host Andrea Gunning. The panelists will discuss the depths of Karoline’s husband’s betrayal, the resilience of family, and the ways in which she has rebuilt her life. 

Please Note: Due to circumstances beyond our control, the session Cocaine Quarterback: A USC Champion’s Fall into Crime & Fight for Redemption has been replaced with Alex Murdaugh: The Trial Isn’t Over. 

Just when the world thought the Alex Murdaugh murder case was over, it took a shocking turn. In May, the South Carolina Supreme Court overturned Murdaugh’s double-murder conviction due to jury tampering allegations and ordered a new trial.

For months, the nation watched Alex Murdaugh sit at the defense table, accused of murdering his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul. Now, go beyond the verdict and inside the packed courtroom for a behind-the-scenes look at what it was really like.

This session will explore the latest developments in the case and offer insider perspectives on the tensions, personalities, and power struggles that defined the trial. Moderator Nate Eaton will be joined by Wall Street Journal reporter and New York Times bestselling author of The Devil at His Elbow: Alex Murdaugh and the Fall of a Southern Dynasty, Valerie Bauerlein, and Inside Edition investigative correspondent and host of the YouTube channel Justice with Matt Johnson, Matt Johnson. Together, they’ll unpack the controversy surrounding Becky Hill, the jury tampering allegations, and how these developments have completely reshaped the future of the case.
