Listen on Spotify: https://gvnf.sh/spotify Tonight I’m joined by strangulation and domestic violence expert Brian Bennett, a retired South Carolina law enforcement instructor and consultant, to examine the Spencer and Monique Tepe murders through one of the strongest predictors of lethal violence: non-fatal strangulation. Using new details from the recently released probable cause affidavit, including prior allegations that Monique made against her ex-husband, Michael McKee, Brian explains why strangulation is not just another form of abuse, but a critical warning sign of escalating danger.

A welfare check led police to the residence, where both were discovered deceased. Their two young children were inside the home at the time but were not physically harmed. Investigators have said there were no signs of forced entry. Police later identified Monique’s ex husband, Michael McKee, as the suspect, after tracing a vehicle seen on surveillance near the home shortly before the killings and leaving shortly afterward. McKee was arrested in Illinois on January 10 and is charged with aggravated murder. Authorities now say a gun recovered from his property has a preliminary ballistic link to evidence from the crime scene and have described the killings as a targeted, domestic violence related attack.
