Court documents paint a picture that extends far beyond December 30th, 2025. Michael McKee allegedly told Monique he could "kill her at any time," that he would "find her and buy the house right next to her," and that she would "always be his wife." Witnesses described strangulation and forced sex during their marriage. Surveillance footage allegedly captured him at her Columbus home three weeks before her murder — while she was 200 miles away at a football game.

The divorce was finalized in 2017. There's no record of criminal charges, restraining orders, or intervention in the eight years that followed. Then Monique and Spencer Tepe were found dead.

Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the behavioral warning signs. She explains what possessive language reveals about how McKee allegedly viewed the relationship, why strangulation is the strongest predictor of future lethality, and how high-functioning professionals hide this kind of obsessive violence. We examine how Monique's remarriage and children may have functioned as triggers — and why the system consistently fails people in her position.
