Monique Tepe did everything right—and it still wasn't enough. She left after seven months. Let him keep the house and the rings. Paid what she owed with an interest penalty clause he demanded. Moved to Ohio, rebuilt her life, married Spencer, had two children. Her family says she never said Michael McKee's name after the divorce. She only called him "her ex-husband." She talked about the emotional abuse. She was always worried. Eight years later, police say he drove 300 miles in the middle of the night and killed her and Spencer while their children slept down the hall.

Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us live to break down the psychology of someone who allegedly holds onto rage for nearly a decade. She examines what she calls "deep-seated resentment and hate that just built up"—the behavioral profile of a grievance collector who never lets go, who catalogs every perceived slight, and who watches an ex-spouse's happiness not as closure but as escalating provocation.

The divorce records reveal control dynamics that Coffindaffer says matter. McKee wanted the rings back from a marriage that lasted less than a year. The separation agreement required Monique to reimburse him with interest. Someone who demands jewelry back from a seven-month marriage isn't moving on. They're establishing ownership.

Police labeled this a "targeted domestic violence attack." But there were no prior reports. No restraining orders. Monique's family says the arrest was "not a shock"—they'd suspected McKee from day one but stayed quiet to protect the investigation. They knew. For eight years, they knew. And the system couldn't act until two people were dead.

What does it tell you when a family knows and the system still can't protect anyone?
