The silence surrounding a murder investigation is a peculiar kind of agony for those left behind. Grieving relatives must watch the process unfold, suspicious of certain individuals, yet bound by the knowledge that speaking publicly could jeopardise the very investigation designed to deliver justice.
For the family of Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer, that restraint has finally lifted. Following the arrest of Michael David McKee, a 39-year-old physician from Chicago and Monique's ex-husband, on Saturday in connection with the couple's brutal murder, family members revealed what they had suspected all along: they had 'all expected' his arrest but deliberately remained silent throughout the investigation to protect its integrity.
