A Utah mother is accused of abducting her own four children and fleeing the country, triggering an international manhunt involving local police and federal authorities. Police and family members point to alarming TikTok videos in which she allegedly spoke about receiving dreams from God, warned of the “end times,” claimed Salt Lake City would be destroyed, referenced natural disasters, and urged others to “brace for the apocalypse.” 35-year-old Elleshia Anne Seymour is charged with four counts of custodial interference and removing a child from the state after investigators say she disappeared with her children on November 29, leaving behind an unlocked home in West Jordan, Utah. Police say Seymour shares custody with two fathers, neither of whom consented to any travel. The missing children are 11-year-old Landon Seymour, 8-year-old Levi Parker Seymour, 7-year-old Hazel Raye Seymour, and 3-year-old Jacob Kurt Brady. Court documents reveal that Seymour’s vehicle was found abandoned at Salt Lake City International Airport, and surveillance footage tracked her boarding a one-way international flight with all four children. Authorities later confirmed the family traveled through Europe and ultimately landed in Croatia.Nate Eaton - East Idaho News: https://www.youtube.com/@EastidnewsWatch on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@DropDeadSeriousCheck out the Merch!https://shop.dropdeadserious.com/Follow Ashleigh on Social MediaInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/ashleighbanfieldhttps://www.instagram.com/DropDeadSeriousPodcastTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@tvashleighhttps://www.tiktok.com/@DropDeadSeriousPodcastFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/AshleighBanfieldWebsite:https://www.dropdeadserious.com/

Police say this was not a crime of passion, not a botched home invasion, and not a jealous husband snapping in the moment, but a meticulously planned double murder allegedly orchestrated by a federal agent who was living a secret double life with his family’s au pair. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the shocking prosecution theory against Brendan Banfield, a Virginia IRS agent accused of catfishing an unsuspecting man through BDSM websites, luring him into the Banfield home under false pretenses, and then staging a brutal scene that left his wife, Christine Banfield, stabbed to death and Joseph Ryan shot and killed inside their million-dollar Fairfax County home. Prosecutors allege Banfield and his young Brazilian au pair, Juliana Perez Magalhães, carried out an elaborate plot involving fake online identities, Telegram calls, decoy 911 calls, McDonald’s drive-through alibis, sound-dampening windows, gun-range training, and a plan to make Banfield look like the hero who stopped a violent intruder.Pretty Lies & Alibis:https://www.youtube.com/@PrettyLiesAndAlibishttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pretty-lies-and-alibis/id1519114534Watch on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@DropDeadSeriousCheck out the Merch!https://shop.dropdeadserious.com/Follow Ashleigh on Social MediaInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/ashleighbanfieldhttps://www.instagram.com/DropDeadSeriousPodcastTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@tvashleighhttps://www.tiktok.com/@DropDeadSeriousPodcastFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/AshleighBanfieldWebsite:https://www.dropdeadserious.com/

Phantom Court Clerical Error? Family members say the warning signs were there long before Spencer and Monique Tepe were brutally murdered inside their Columbus, Ohio home, but one strange detail in the court system has raised a disturbing new question. Just months before the killings, Ohio court records show a divorce hearing was mistakenly scheduled in the long-closed case between Monique and her ex-husband, surgeon Michael McKee. The court later called it a clerical error, saying the hearing was canceled and issued by mistake, but the timing has fueled intense scrutiny over whether a clerical error or a docket mistake could have reopened old wounds.Watch on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@DropDeadSeriousCheck out the Merch!https://shop.dropdeadserious.com/Follow Ashleigh on Social MediaInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/ashleighbanfieldhttps://www.instagram.com/DropDeadSeriousPodcastTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@tvashleighhttps://www.tiktok.com/@DropDeadSeriousPodcastFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/AshleighBanfieldWebsite:https://www.dropdeadserious.com/
