Summary
Eight years after their divorce, Michael McKee allegedly told Monique Tepe he could kill her at any time. Now he's charged with her murder — and the murder of her husband Spencer. Robin Dreeke, former FBI special agent and behavioral analysis expert, breaks down the unsealed affidavit in the case against the Illinois vascular surgeon accused of driving 900 miles to execute the couple in their Weinland Park home on December 30th. The documents reveal alleged strangulation and sexual assault during the marriage, years of threatening statements reported by witnesses, and a surveillance trip to their property while they were at a football game three weeks before the killings.
McKee faces four counts of aggravated murder with firearm specifications including the use of a suppressor. Robin explains what the behavioral pattern tells us about obsession that doesn't fade, why high professional intelligence doesn't translate to criminal sophistication, and what Monique's gut reaction at halftime of that Big Ten Championship game tells us about how victims sense danger before they can prove it.
