Tepe Double Murder & Kohberger WSU Lawsuit: Attorney Eric Faddis Breaks Down Both Cases  
Podcast: Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Published On: Sat Jan 24 2026
Description: This week on Hidden Killers, we're examining two cases demanding legal accountability—one criminal, one civil—with former felony prosecutor turned defense attorney Eric Faddis. In Ohio, Dr. Michael McKee faces aggravated murder charges for allegedly executing his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Richard Tepe in their Columbus home. Police say the murder weapon was recovered from McKee's Chicago apartment. His alibi reportedly collapsed. Family members describe eight years of obsession. Faddis analyzes what prosecutors must prove and where McKee's defense team will attack the evidence—from chain of custody issues to the fundamental problem of no eyewitnesses. In Washington, the families of Bryan Kohberger's victims have filed a 126-page lawsuit against WSU alleging the university ignored 13 formal complaints against Kohberger before he murdered Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. Staff created their own warning systems. A professor allegedly predicted he'd abuse students. The families argue the murders were "foreseeable and preventable." Faddis breaks down the Title IX claims, what "deliberate indifference" means legally, and whether this lawsuit could set precedent for institutional liability nationwide. Two cases. Two paths to justice.
