Monique Tepe's family says the arrest wasn't a shock. They'd suspected Dr. Michael McKee from the moment she and Spencer were found murdered. They just couldn't say anything — they were protecting the investigation. But here's the reality that should unsettle everyone following this case: they'd known for years. Monique had told them about emotional abuse during the marriage. About torment. She was always worried about him. She never spoke his name after the divorce — only called him "her ex-husband." She did everything right. She left after seven months. She didn't fight for assets. She paid what he demanded, including an interest penalty clause. She moved home, rebuilt her life, married Spencer, had two beautiful children.

Eight years later, police say McKee drove 300 miles from Chicago in the middle of the night and killed them both. Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to analyze the psychology behind an eight-year grudge that allegedly ended in a double homicide. We examine the behavioral profile of what Coffindaffer calls a grievance collector — someone who holds onto resentment and perceived slights for years, sometimes decades, and never truly lets go. The divorce records reveal telling control dynamics: McKee demanded the rings back from a marriage that lasted less than a year. The separation agreement required Monique to reimburse him with interest. Coffindaffer explains what these patterns suggest about ownership, entitlement, and how watching an ex build a new family can escalate obsessive attachment into violence. For those who recognize these warning signs, this conversation could be the most important one you hear.
