In 2024, Matthew and Kathryn Restelli were living together on a seven-acre property in Aguanga, about eighteen miles east of Temecula, California. The couple had been married for about seven and a half years, but the marriage had started to fall apart around 2020. Kathryn decided to take the kids to her mom Tracey Grist's home in American Fork, Utah. She took the kids there without asking her husband, and that caused further friction.

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss Matthew Restelli. Matthew was found shot to death in his mother-in-law's home; it appeared as though he had broken into the house to get his kids back. However, authorities noticed some signs that led them to believe that everything was not as it seemed. And as the investigation unfolded, Kathryn and her family became the primary focus of investigators.
