Columbus police just confirmed it: the murder weapon was inside Michael McKee's Chicago penthouse. NIBIN matched shell casings from the Tepe bedroom to a firearm recovered from his residence. Multiple weapons seized. His alibi fell apart before his arrest at a Chick-fil-A seven minutes from the hospital where he worked overnight shifts. Surveillance footage places him at the scene. The charges are aggravated murder with prior calculation and design—death penalty eligible.

But the story the family is telling doesn't match a single document in the court system. Rob Misleh went on Good Morning America and said what the legal record never captured: Monique told him McKee was emotionally abusive during their seven-month marriage. "She just had to get away from him." Misleh called McKee a monster. Said Monique never spoke his name after the divorce—only "her ex-husband." That she was always worried. The family knew. They watched her look over her shoulder for eight years.

The 2017 divorce paperwork? No domestic violence allegations. No protection orders. Just "incompatibility." The system saw nothing because nothing was ever documented. Attorney Eric Faddis joins us live to explain why victims make that choice—the fear that documentation escalates danger, the hope that silence buys safety. He breaks down how courts treat emotional abuse versus physical abuse and whether the distinction matters when someone's dead.

Then there's the question nobody's answered: what happened in June 2025? Eight years after the divorce, something brought McKee and Monique back into the court system. Six months later, she and Spencer were murdered while their children slept down the hall. Eric examines whether the legal system can be weaponized to force contact with an ex-spouse—and what that pattern looks like before it turns fatal.
