Crime House 24/7

Before he terrorized California as the “Night Stalker,” Richard Ramirez was a boy growing up in El Paso, Texas — raised in a strict religious household marked by violence, instability, and trauma.

In this episode of Night Watch, Katie Ring begins a three-part deep dive into how Ramirez evolved from an isolated teenager with a history of head injuries, seizures, and escalating criminal behavior into one of the most feared serial killers of the 1980s. From the influence of a violent cousin who exposed him to graphic war stories and sexual brutality, to early break-ins and assaults that went unprosecuted, we examine the warning signs that preceded the murders.

Monique and Spencer Tepe were shot to death in their Columbus, Ohio home before dawn on December 30, 2025, while their two young children slept just down the hall. In this episode of Night Watch, Katie Ring examines the investigation that followed — one marked by surveillance footage, license plate data, and movements that stretched across state lines. Prosecutors allege Monique’s ex-husband, Michael McKee, carried out a calculated, premeditated attack. He has pleaded not guilty.
