Brendan Banfield now on trial for the murder of his wife Christine. The prosecutions star witness, Banfield's lover, the family's former nanny.  Juliana Peres Magalhaes also charged, has agreed to testify as part of a plea deal. In exchange for her testimony, she will plead to the lesser charge of manslaughter,  then walk free for time served. She will be deported back to Brazil. 

The murder plot unfolded as Christine Banfield plans a fun day for her 4-year-old daughter with a trip to the National Zoo with her Brazilian Au Pair,  Magalhaes. Adult and child leave for the day, but turn around when Peres Magalhaes realizes she forgot their bagged lunches. Arriving at the house, the Au Pair sees a car she doesn't recognize and a man she doesn't know entering the house. Confused, she calls her employer, Brendan Banfield, who tells her to stay in the car, he will be right home. Banfield is at the house in minutes, and they enter the house together. The Au Pair takes the 4-year-old girl to the basement while Brendan Banfield goes upstairs to the master suite

Brendan Banfield finds his wife, Christine, nude, with a man he doesn't know, holding a knife to her throat. Banfield tells cops he tells the man to put the knife down, but he starts stabbing the 37-year-old mother. Brendan Banfield carries a gun as an IRS Special Agent, and he draws his service revolver and shoots the man in the head. The intruder is wounded and down on the ground. Banfield calls for Peres Magalhaes and tells the Au Pair to get his personal gun, a Glock, out of the bathroom safe. Giving her the code, the au pair retrieves the Glock and at Banfield's direction, shoots Joseph Ryan through the heart as he is laying on the ground.  

Investigators say however they believe the story told by Brendan Banfield and the nanny is  a ruse. Someone created the profile on the Adult Fetish website, pretending to be Christine Banfield, part of an elaborate plan to kill Christine Banfield so her husband, Brendan, and their Brazilian live-in Au Pair, could be together.  Investigators found pictures of Banfield and the au pair together in the Banfield bedroom, and Peres Magalhaes' clothes were found hanging in Banfield's closet, not her own.

A Missouri man is charged with gunning down his neighbor in a violent confrontation that ended a lengthy history of harassment. A Tennessee church deacon was arrested and charged with nine counts of especially aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor after his wife found photos and videos on his phone of a teenage babysitter using their bathroom. A US Bureau of Land Management officer has been charged with second degree murder after a drunken brawl at a Wyoming bar last week left a man dead. Sydney Sumner reports.

Missouri Man Shoots Neighbor 13 Times, Claims He Hit Him First | Crime Alert 6AM 01.16.26

An Illinois surgeon accused of gunning down his ex-wife, Monique Tepe, and her husband, the father of their two young children, Spencer Tepe, allegedly threatened to kill Monique nearly a decade ago on “multiple occasions” during their brief marriage.

Police arrested Michael D. McKee, 39, at a Chick-fil-A in Rockford, Illinois, on January 10, 2026, and charged him with two counts of murder in the deaths of Spencer and Monique Tepe. Authorities then upgraded the charges against McKee, who now faces premeditated aggravated murder.

Police report they have the suspect's vehicle on neighborhood video surveillance in the couple's Ohio neighborhood, arriving just before the murders and leaving shortly after.

A search warrant of McKee's luxury Chicago condo results in multiple weapons being found, with one of those weapons preliminarily matching evidence through ballistic testing to the Tepe murder scene.

Twelve weeks before McKee is accused of murder, he is sued for malpractice by a Nevada man who claims McKee went into hiding or just disappeared, so he couldn't be served with legal documents papers.

Nevada lawyer Dan Laird files the suit, but serving McKee was nearly impossible, as the surgery group he works for gives the attorney a fake address, and the phone number issued by the state medical board for McKee is a fax machine.
