McKee Affidavit: Prosecutors Allege Eight Years of Stalking Before Tepe Murders

The affidavit charging Michaell McKee with aggravated murder in the deaths of Spencer and Monique Tepe has been unsealed. What's inside reads like a chronicle of obsession—surveillance footage, stolen plates, threats spanning years, and digital silence during the murder window.

Defense attorney Eric Faddis joins True Crime Today to analyze what this evidence means for both prosecution and defense.

Surveillance footage places McKee in the Tepes' yard on December 6th or 7th. Spencer and Monique were in Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship game. That's not presence—that's reconnaissance. Faddis explains how pre-offense surveillance supports prior calculation and design charges.

The threat evidence spans nearly a decade. Witnesses told investigators McKee said he could "kill her at any time," would "find her and buy the house right next to her," and that Monique "will always be his wife." Those statements came during and after their marriage. How do prosecutors introduce historical threats—and what challenges will the defense raise?

Firearm specifications are unusual. The indictment charges automatic weapon or silencer-equipped firearm in the alternative. Faddis explains what that hedging signals and how it affects sentencing exposure.

McKee's phone went silent from December 29th until after noon on December 30th. The murders occurred around 3:50 a.m. How do prosecutors frame digital absence as evidence of planning?

Vehicle tracking connected a silver SUV to McKee's address and workplace. That vehicle appeared near the Tepe home displaying stolen plates. After arrest, investigators found fresh scrape marks where a distinctive sticker had been removed.

The aggravated burglary charge is telling. No forced entry was found. Prosecutors have a theory about how McKee got inside.

McKee pleaded not guilty and waived extradition. Eric Faddis breaks down the legal landscape.
