Eight Years of Threats Before Spencer and Monique Tepe Were Killed — Why Didn't She Report?

Eight Years of Threats Before Spencer and Monique Tepe Were Killed — Why Didn't She Report?

Published 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Description

Witnesses say Michael McKee told Monique Tepe he could kill her at any time. That she would always be his wife. That he'd find her and buy the house right next to hers. For eight years after their divorce, according to court documents, the threats continued.

She didn't report them to police.

Three weeks before she and Spencer Tepe were found dead, surveillance allegedly captured McKee at their home while they were 300 miles away at the Big Ten Championship. Monique left the game at halftime—upset about something involving her ex-husband.

Did she know? And if she sensed danger, why didn't she act?

This isn't victim blaming. It's understanding the gap between knowing you're in danger and the system being able to help—and why that gap kills people.

Former FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke joins Hidden Killers Live to break down the psychology of McKee's alleged obsession. Robin explains why the eight-year timeline matters, what the December 6th surveillance trip signals about premeditation, and the behavioral distinction between threats made as manipulation versus threats made as rehearsal.

Court documents allege McKee strangled Monique and forced unwanted sex during their marriage. The violence allegedly didn't end with the divorce—it evolved into years of threats that witnesses say escalated into surveillance and, ultimately, murder.

We examine what Ohio law actually requires for protection orders, what holds victims back from reporting, and what the legal system can do when someone is being stalked by a person who hasn't technically committed a crime yet.

If you're in a situation like this right now—what are your options?
