On Feb. 24, 2023, police were called to the Banfield family home for a stabbing and a shooting around 8 a.m. Brendan Banfield, an IRS special agent, told police he shot a man who had stabbed his wife, Christine Banfield. Police find Christine Banfield, nude and stabbed multiple times, in an upstairs bedroom. Nearby, they find a man named Joseph Ryan shot multiple times. Inside the house at the time of the shooting: Brendan Banfield, along with the family's au pair, then-22-year-old Juliana Peres Magalhaes, and the Banfields' then-4-year-old daughter.

Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack go behind the headlines to find out what really happened in a home that left a 37-year-old mother dead, a 39-year-old male stranger dead, an IRS Special agent Brendan Banfield charged with murder, a four-year-old little girl who will be raised by someone other than her mother, and the Au Pair who moved into the master bedroom, then copped a plea deal to testify for the state.

BODY BAGS WITH JOSEPH SCOTT MORGAN | Au Pair Love Triangle Murder Trial: What Does The Forensic Evidence Show?

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/0db6a33b-be39-4439-9d5c-b3e3013a916f/transcript

A federal judge has dismissed the death penalty-eligible murder and weapons charges against Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

The judge ruled they did not constitute crimes of violence. This removes the death penalty. Federal stalking charges remain, with a trial set to potentially begin in October 2026 after jury selection in September.

There is also a push for state murder charges.

Also happening surrounding Mangione: a Minnesota man is arrested after trying to break the accused killer free. Mark Anderson reportedly presented himself at a New York federal jail claiming to be an FBI agent. He said he had a court order to release Mangione.

Anderson also allegedly said he had weapons on him. Inside a bag he was carrying, he had a barbecue fork and a circular steel blade that resembled a pizza cutter.

Here's some of our top stories this week:

Former top ultra-luxury real estate broker brothers Oren and Tal Alexander along with a third sibling, are accused of being sexual predators who together raped dozens of women and girls and then "celebrated their crimes," a federal prosecutor tells jurors Tuesday. And one of the victims, who spoke under a fictitious name, is among several alleged victims slated to testify against Tal, Oren, and Alon Alexander, who face accusations of drugging and raping women and girls over several years.

During a recent hearing, Carroll County Superior Court Judge Dustin Hightower expressed that there had been no significant changes in the circumstances that would justify freeing Sarah Grace Patrick from her solitary confinement since her arrest in August 2025.

A twisted Missouri couple is cuffed & stuffed behind bars after their years-long abuse is finally exposed. Cops say the disgusting duo caged the kids in a chicken coop, starved & shot them...and forced them to fight.

A Texas man is executed for the 1998 killings of his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend, ending a case that stretched nearly three decades. Newly unsealed court filings now detail how University of Idaho student Xana Kernodle fought for her life during the November 13th, twenty twenty-two murders at an off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho.
