Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

Little House on the Prairie alum, Melissa Gilbert, sobs in court during hubby Timothy Busfield's pretrial detention hearing in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. Emmy award winner Timothy Busfield now released from the New Mexico jail pending trial for the child sex abuse charges.
Busfield is accused of inappropriately touching two 11-year-old twin boys while directing episodes of the hit tv show, "The Cleaning Lady". When Busfield joins the cast as an actor and director he tells the boys to call him "Uncle Tim". The alleged inappropriate action happens on multiple occasions and parents of the boys say Busfield masks the inappropriate touching as "play".
One of the boys says he was touched on his intimate parts over his clothing. The parents say SL wakes up scared from nightmares about Busfield touching him and is diagnosed with Post-Traumatic-Stress Disorder, PTSD. Allegations surface that one of the boys withdrew from the set and didn't want to go as much as before.
The child actors accusing Timothy Busfield of touching them inappropriately while working on
the tv show, "The Cleaning Lady," told a totally different story when they first talked to
investigators. Asked directly and specifically if they knew about private areas on their body
that no one can touch, both boys said "yes". When asked if Timothy Busfield ever touches
their "privates", both boys answered "no".
Lawyers for Busfield say he passed an independent polygraph and is innocent of all charges.

Michael McKee's charges are upgraded to four counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of his ex-wife, Monique Tepe, and her husband, Spencer.
The indictment specifies that the firearm used by McKee was equipped with a muffler or suppressor, commonly referred to as a "silencer." McKee also faces an additional charge of aggravated burglary for allegedly breaking into the Tepe home to commit the murders.
Police say McKee is the person captured on video walking in the alley behind the Tepe home between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. the morning of the murders.
Using license plate reader data and surveillance technology, detectives track McKee's vehicle traveling approximately 325 miles from Illinois to Columbus, Ohio, arriving shortly before the murders and leaving soon after.
Investigators have yet to mention a motive for the murders, labeling the killings as "domestic violence-related."
McKee and Monique were married for a short period of time and have been divorced since 2017, but a clerical error caused the divorce case to receive a new hearing date, appearing on the docket for this past June and showing a trial date for September, just three months before the murders.
When court officials determine it is a clerical error, the court date for September is cancelled.​
