Summary
<p>Autopsies for Spencer and Monique Tepe are complete, and show a much different scene of the murders than previously thought.</p> <p>Early reports indicated Monique was shot once in the chest, and Spencer was shot more than once, with three shell casings found at the scene. In fact, the killer unloaded a full clip, 16 rounds, and both were shot in the head: Monique in her right cheek, and Spencer in his left ear.</p> <p>A total of 16 gunshot wounds are discovered. A standard magazine for a handgun holds 15 to 17 rounds, depending on the size of the bullet. Spencer and Monique likely died within "seconds to minutes" of being shot.</p> <p>The injuries suffered and the trajectories of bullets indicate some movement by Spencer and Monique; the range of fire is indeterminate, and there is no way to tell in which order the injuries are inflicted.</p> <p>Joining Nancy Grace today: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.butlersnow.com">Jim Elliott</a> - Trial Attorney with Butler Snow (legal counsel for various Georgia municipalities and other governmental entities)</li> <li><a href="https://www.drbethanymarshall.com">Dr. Bethany Marshall </a>- Psychoanalyst, Author of 'Deal Breaker,' and featured in hit show, "Paris in Love" on Peacock; Instagram & TikTok: drbethanymarshall, Twitter: @DrBethanyLive </li> <li>Airyana Turner - Friend of Monique </li> <li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mayhem-in-the-morgue-with-dr-kendall-crowns/id1832515666">Dr. Kendall Crowns</a> - Chief Medical Examiner of Tarrant County (Fort Worth), Host of Podcast, "Mayhem in the Morgue," and Lecturer: Burnett School of Medicine at TCU (Texas Christian University)</li> <li>Yelena Mandenberg - News Reporter for 'The Mirror,' the 'Irish Star' and 'The Express;' X: @ymand123</li> <li>Dave Mack - Investigative Reporter, 'Crime Stories'</li> </ul><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
