Tepe Double Murder: How Prosecutors Plan to Prove Dr. Michael McKee Committed Premeditated Execution

Monique Tepe and Richard Tepe were shot to death in their Columbus home while their children slept nearby. Eleven days later, police say they found the murder weapon in the Chicago apartment of Monique's ex-husband—Dr. Michael McKee. Now McKee faces two counts of aggravated murder, and prosecutors appear to be building a case for premeditated execution. But how do you prove premeditation when the divorce happened eight years before the killings? When there are no eyewitnesses? When the defendant is a board-certified surgeon with no criminal history who presents well in front of a jury? 

Today on True Crime Today, former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down exactly what the state needs to establish to convict Michael McKee. Faddis worked first-degree murder cases in the Special Victims Unit and has tried over 45 jury trials—he knows how prosecutors think and what evidence they prioritize. We're examining the forensic ballistics, McKee's alleged false alibi, the reported stalking behavior days before the murders, and the family testimony describing a pattern of emotional abuse with no police reports to back it up. The prosecution's theory is coming into focus. Eric Faddis shows us how they'll present it to a jury and what could make or break this case.
