This is an iHeart Podcast.
Guaranteed human. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. A killer smile. Truer words were never spoken. A surgeon dazzles. He beams this megawatt smile on the dating apps just before he travels nearly 400 miles to gun down his ex-wife and her new husband, according to police. I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. I want to thank you for being with us. Michael McKee, the vascular surgeon. Multiple malpractice and claims against him. Something pushed him over the edge. Both of the Teppies are dead, Spencer and Monique. Spencer had been shot twice, Monique once. The children are orphans. They probably will remember the murders of their parents. I watched their wedding video over and over and over, preparing for tonight.
And as I was watching it,
How did surveillance technology track McKee's movements?
Looking for anything probative in the video, which I found, by the way, I wondered how many times vascular surgeon Dr. Michael McKee went over and over and over that wedding video. They were married and murdered. in the same home, married and murdered in the same home. This as the defendant, the vascular surgeon, awaiting extradition on multiple counts that have just been handed down. We uncover his dating apps. I mean, I can't wait to get ahold of his digital footprint. Now think about it. This is according to police. He's on these dating apps, pouring out his soul about how he wants to have children, how he loves hot yoga. And then he's watching her. There he is with a slew of lawsuits he's facing, including one guy with an amputated testicle, another with a catheter shard stuck in his leg.
He's talking about on the dating apps how he wants children, how he wants to settle down, yet he's all alone. I wonder why. looking at her wedding video. How many nights did he hunch over his computer screen watching Monique joyful in that wedding video, posting photos of her pregnant in front of the Christmas tree as he drones on dating websites about how he wants children one day. That said, Now we learn about a silencer. Come on. I can't wait for the defense attorney. Bring it on to tell me this was not premeditated. Do you know how difficult it is to get your mitts on a silencer or as it is called in the business, a suppressor? Listen,
Michael McKee indicted on four counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of his ex-wife, Monique Tepe, and her husband, Spencer. The indictment specifies that the firearm used by McKee was equipped with a muffler or suppressor, commonly called a silencer. McKee also faces an additional charge of aggravated burglary for allegedly breaking into the Tepe home to commit the murders.
Joining us, an all-star panel to make sense of what we are learning tonight. That should run a chill down your spine. Common knowledge, common belief is that suppressors, silencers are illegal. You can't get one. Maybe a mobster or a dope lord. That is not true. You can get them legally. As a matter of fact, just recently a bill was passed in the middle of the night, in the middle of the night. Now, nothing good happens after midnight.
What details about the relationship between McKee and Monique Tepe are revealed?
Why is a house of Congress passing a bill in the middle of the night? Does that sound sneaky? It does to me. Because what they did was take away a $200 surcharge on buying silencers. So now anybody can have them, including, according to police, this brilliant vascular surgeon, Michael McKee. Oh, excuse me. On the dating websites, he says, call me Mike. You know what? I'll just call you defendant. Straight out to Joseph Scott Morgan. Professor of Forensics, Jacksonville State University, author of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon, star of a hit new podcast series, Body Bags with Joe Scott Morgan. But for my purposes, death investigator. What can you tell me about silencers as the vernacular for suppressors?
You know, Nancy, one of the fascinating things about suppressors, because contrary to what people think, they are not silencers. You cannot knock down in totality a supersonic round. That means a round that actually travels at the speed of sound or higher. It does knock it down a few decibels.
