What happened?

Nancy, it seems as though before his arrest, police actually got up with Dr. McKee and asked, hey, where were you on this particular night on December 30th?

Not an uncommon thing to do with an ex-spouse.

And his story, Nancy, is that he had booked a room at his hospital where he's a surgeon, OSF St.

Anthony Medical Center in Rockford, Illinois.

and that that's where he was the entire night.

Investigators are able to bust that wide open.

Joining me now, the investigative reporter for The Mirror and the Irish star, Yelena Mandenberg.

Ruh-roh, oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.

Hey, Dave Mack, I understand that you have uncovered an estimation as to how long that cell phone stayed in the hospital cot.

We know, Nancy, in this particular case, police were able to find out that Dr. McKee's cell phone was left in a cot at the hospital for 14 hours.

Now, how did this happen?

Because I know he immediately blanketed himself in the Fifth Amendment, which is, of course, the right to remain silent.

So how is it that McKee said a word yet also evoked his Fifth Amendment privilege?

Any questions that were asked of McKee happened before they put the cuffs on him before he's getting his chicken sandwich.

So think about it, Nancy.

As police begin an investigation, the first call is, hey, where were you?

You know, your ex-wife is dead, and we need to know where were you during this time.

We know you didn't do it, but, you know, we got to have it.

And so that's where he immediately blurted, apparently, and that's where it starts, Nancy.
