Eight years. That's how long Dr. Michael McKee allegedly waited after his divorce from Monique Tepe before he drove 300 miles from Illinois to Ohio and shot her and her husband Spencer dead in their home. Most people move on after a failed marriage. They heal. They rebuild. But according to FBI behavioral expert Robin Dreeke, McKee may be what's called a "wound collector"—someone who doesn't let go of perceived injuries, who catalogs grievances and carries resentment for years until it explodes.

Dreeke spent 32 years at the FBI, including heading the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He breaks down how wound collectors think, how they justify, and why high-functioning professionals like surgeons can mask dangerous resentment behind successful careers. We examine what triggers someone to finally act after years of stewing, how they flip the narrative to convince themselves they're the victim, and what watching an ex-spouse's happiness does to someone who never let go.

But the forensic evidence raises its own questions. Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer analyzes the investigation—surveillance footage of McKee's vehicle arriving before the killings and leaving after, a preliminary NIBIN ballistics match, and a hooded figure walking through an alley at 3:52 AM. Police recovered the alleged murder weapon from McKee's Chicago penthouse eleven days after the crime. Why would a surgeon—someone whose career is built on precision—allegedly keep the gun in his own apartment?

Coffindaffer examines the no-forced-entry mystery, the behavioral red flags that emerged months before the murders including a malpractice process server who tried nine times to locate McKee at addresses that didn't exist, and why waiving extradition might be the first move in a calculated legal strategy. McKee maintains his innocence and plans to plead not guilty to two counts of premeditated aggravated murder.
