McKee's Only Defense Options — Prosecutor Eric Faddis and Dark Triad Behavioral Analysis

Michael McKee faces four counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of Monique Tepe and Dr. Spencer Tepe—charges carrying life without parole. The evidence against him is reportedly overwhelming: ballistic matches linking a firearm from his property to shell casings at the scene, vehicle surveillance tracking his 300-mile drive from Chicago to Columbus, a confirmed ID as the figure in alley footage near the Tepe home, and a firearm suppressor that screams premeditation. Eleven days after the killings, investigators say they recovered the murder weapon. So what defense options does McKee actually have? Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis spent years in the Special Victims Unit handling first-degree murder cases and has tried 45+ jury trials. He breaks down exactly what the state needs to prove, how prosecutors weaponize contradictory alibis, and why charges were upgraded from murder to aggravated murder. We examine the forensic evidence, the alleged pre-murder stalking, and family testimony describing emotional abuse during a seven-month marriage with no police reports to back it up. We also analyze McKee through the Dark Triad framework—narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy—to understand how these personality patterns typically manifest when someone faces consequences they cannot escape. A man who allegedly evaded a malpractice lawsuit nine times may be psychologically incapable of accepting accountability. The rationalization, projection, and denial that characterizes certain personality types may prevent him from ever taking a plea deal—even when dying in prison is the alternative. His ego may be his undoing.
