LIVE: Monique Tepe & Michael McKee — FBI Agent On The Psychology Of An 8-Year Grudge
Description
We're live with former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer to examine the behavioral psychology behind the alleged murder of Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer by Dr. Michael McKee. This wasn't a crime of passion. Police say McKee drove 300 miles from Chicago to Columbus in the middle of the night — eight years after a marriage that lasted seven months. Monique did everything right. She got out quickly. She didn't fight over the house or the assets. She let him keep the rings, then paid him back with interest when he demanded it. She moved home to Ohio, rebuilt her life, fell in love again, got married, had two children. Her family says she never spoke his name after the divorce. Only called him "her ex-husband." They say she described emotional abuse. Torment. That she was always worried.
Coffindaffer joins us live to explain what she calls "deep-seated resentment and hate that just built up" — the behavioral profile of a grievance collector who holds onto anger for years, sometimes decades. We examine how control dynamics in the divorce proceedings reveal patterns of ownership and entitlement, how watching an ex build a new life and family can escalate obsessive attachment, and why the system repeatedly fails to protect people when there's no paper trail of prior reports. Monique's family says they knew from day one. They suspected McKee immediately but stayed quiet to protect the investigation. What does it mean when families know — when they've known for years — but the system can't act until someone is dead? Join us live to ask your questions and learn the warning signs that someone may never let go.
