This episode goes inside the psychology of the man charged with killing Monique and Spencer Tepe.

Michael McKee allegedly couldn't let go. Family members say Monique escaped their marriage within seven months after experiencing emotional abuse and death threats. She moved on. She remarried. She had children. She built a beautiful life. There's no indication McKee ever remarried in those eight years. Prosecutors allege he was watching, waiting — until December 30, 2025, when he allegedly drove six hours, entered the Tepe home without forced entry, and shot both Monique and Spencer to death at 3:52 AM.

In Part 1 of our three-part interview series, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott provides expert analysis of the alleged perpetrator psychology. Shavaun has spent over thirty years working with both victims and perpetrators of violence in forensic settings, domestic violence shelters, and private practice. She's the author of "The Minds of Mass Killers."

We examine the "wound collector" framework — individuals who nurture grievances for years. We explore how a successful surgeon allegedly compartmentalizes obsession. We ask what the victim's visible happiness does to someone allegedly fixated. And we dig into the question that haunts this case: what story does someone tell themselves to allegedly justify eight years of fixation over a relationship that lasted less than one?
