Monique Tepe Case: No Forced Entry, No Restraining Order — How Did Michael McKee Allegedly Get Inside?

Columbus police say they have their man. Dr. Michael McKee — a vascular surgeon who practiced in Chicago — is charged with the premeditated aggravated murder of his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer. The preliminary ballistics match is in. The surveillance footage shows his vehicle at the scene. Police say he's the hooded figure in that alley at 3:52 AM. But there's a gap in this investigation that nobody has explained: there was no forced entry at the Tepe residence. No broken windows. No kicked-in doors. So how did he allegedly get inside? And why would a man trained in surgical precision keep the murder weapon in his penthouse apartment for eleven days after the killings? 

Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers to break down the forensic evidence, the surveillance timeline, and the investigative questions that remain unanswered. We examine McKee's pattern of evasion in the months before the murders — a malpractice process server tried nine times to find him at addresses that turned out to be fake. His former colleague said he "just disappeared." Coffindaffer explains what this behavior suggests from a behavioral analysis standpoint and why McKee's pre-arrest statements — before he invoked his right to remain silent — could become critical evidence at trial. Police say they have no prior reports from the Tepe address about McKee. No 911 calls. No restraining orders. But they hedged when asked about communications between McKee and Monique in the weeks before the murders. What are investigators holding back? And what holes will the defense try to exploit?
