Monique Tepe Murder: What Evidence Links Ex-Husband Michael McKee to the Killings?

Michael McKee sits in Franklin County jail charged with the aggravated murders of his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer Tepe. The unsealed affidavit lays out surveillance footage, witness statements about years of alleged death threats, stolen license plates, cell phone data showing his phone went dark during the murder window, and vehicle tracking placing his SUV in Columbus before and after the killings.

Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us to break down the prosecution's case piece by piece. Which evidence is most damaging? What would he build the entire case around if he were lead prosecutor? And where could this seemingly airtight case still fall apart?

We examine the hearsay complications with statements Monique allegedly made to friends—that McKee said he could "kill her at any time," that he'd "find her and buy the house right next to her," and that "she will always be his wife." Monique can't testify. How do prosecutors get those statements in front of a jury?

The affidavit also includes allegations of prior strangulation and forced sex during the marriage—abuse that was never reported to police or prosecuted. Can that come in to establish pattern and motive, or will the defense succeed in keeping it out?

Eric explains what firearm specifications alleging a silencer signal about premeditation, why circumstantial evidence can actually be stronger than eyewitness testimony, and the one thing prosecutors should be worried about that they might not see coming.
