The people who knew Michael McKee are finally talking. And they're all describing the same thing.

His ex-girlfriend dated him for a year after his divorce from Monique. She called him "nice" and "kind" — but also "boring" and "surface level." She said there was a wall she could never get past. She ended it because she couldn't form a real connection with him.

A former coworker told Fox News he was "always nice, always kind" — never had emotional outbursts even under pressure. But that same coworker described a "downward spiral" that began after surgical mishaps in Las Vegas.

And then there's Monique's family. They paint a completely different picture. According to her brother-in-law Rob Misleh, Monique was "terrified" of McKee. He allegedly threatened her life multiple times during their brief marriage. She fled after seven months and, according to family, never stopped being afraid.

How do you reconcile "boring" with "terrifying"? How does the same man present as empty to one woman and monstrous to another?

Today we break down the psychology — the behavioral patterns that forensic experts associate with narcissistic and psychopathic personality structures. The mask. The wall. The wound that allegedly festered for eight years until it exploded in violence.

This is what coercive control looks like. This is how hidden killers hide.
