This is the only MSM article I can find about MM working before the murders but it says “days before” nothing specific.

<modsnip> I'm sorry if he is an 'injustice collector", hopeless romantic still in love with his Ex, or just a plain psychopath, he gets not one ounce of consideration from me. We rarely, if ever, get the factual truth of why any of these killers do what they do. Millions of people involved in relationships that fail move on and continues their lives successfully.

No, he is an inmate accused of a heinous crime. MM's medical license may be pulled if he's convicted of committing a double murder. He would no longer be trustworthy and fit for practice. The most that could happen is that some guards or inmates may ask him for advice and being a vascular surgeon for many years would limit his current knowledge base. Most prisons have contracts with certain hospitals. I know Florida has a hospital onsite in Lake Butler at the Reception and Medical Center. Any trauma would go to Shands teaching hospital. Reception Medical Center is where inmate intake is and inmates are screened and assigned to a prison. MM may have a higher status among inmates for his medical knowledge but some inmates may be upset that two children were left orphaned. We'll have to see. The prison MM is ultimately assigned to may keep him under wraps if there are threats made. Thx.

I just checked MM's Illinois license, and it still says "Chaperone Required." This means that he would not, as of right now, be allowed to practice in Illinois without direct supervision.

There's no way he would be allowed to practice medicine in prison, as an inmate. It just doesn't work that way.

I don't understand how did MDMs group even relate to the prison if the prison contracted another doctor for treatment? YouTuber doesn't make it clear. Were doctors as Las Vegas Surgical Associates employed as a medical review board by the inmate's insurance company? Otherwise I don't understand how a side group is involved in approving an inmate's treatment?

Or are they vascular surgeons contracted by the prison, but due to the distance between the prison and LV, they never travel there nor are the inmates taken to LV? Then it is senseless.

So this part i don't quite understand. How did a group 2 hours away from the prison get involved with the prison?

But if MDM's insurance lapsed during his involvement with LV surgical Associates this could end up being costly.

If the insurance lapsed when he left the group, then it still should have covered him retroactively when he was associated with the group.

Did I read that after the murders and before he was arrested, he was still practising? Bet those patients are thanking their lucky stars.

 

[drdetective]

I do not see them handing him a set of scalpels. He tossed his training out with this.

He’s not a doctor anymore.

Nope, gives a whole new meaning to “ when one door closes …another one opens” str8 to jail.

 

[potr]

yes they had a dating history (not sure of how long) and to be honest I think she thought she had a good catch. Handsome back then...football player and then on the road to becoming a successful doctor. Something must have really changed after they got married.

three years apparently

“I want to remember...who they were to me and who they were to all of us — not how they left us.”

Gina Spinale, a friend of Spencer and Monique Tepe, says she was suspicious of Monique’s ex-husband, Michael McKee, when she learned of their murder in their Ohio home on Dec. 30.

McKee, a surgeon from Chicago, has been indicted in the couple’s murder. “She said he was bad,” Spinale recalled. “I think he could not fathom her happiness.”

Spinale remembers Monique as a “beautiful and kind” friend who “felt so blessed” to be with Spencer.

This is so sad!! Those precious children robbed of exceptional parents! If there is an ounce of decency in MM's body he will plead guilty sooner than later.

Apparently he was improvised going through medical school. Finances are the number one cause of marriage break up.

I agree about money trouble being underneath a lot of break ups, but this was temporary tho. It’s a temporary sacrifice while he was finishing school.
I think he was probably, boring ,controlling , anti- social and Cheap. The opposite of her.
Not only did he make her pay back 1500K He even charged interest.
And wasnt it some crazy interest rate too?

It's quite common for spousal abusers to isolate their spouses, then step up the abuse. I get the strong feeling that MM was a loner, not just an introvert, who is happy having a small network of close relationships, but a loner who really wasn't that interested in other people. However, since a beautiful, educated wife was evidently on his bucket list, he managed to court and marry MT. They move away from Ohio so he can do his residency in Virginia.

At that point, MT, who was evidently used to a vibrant social life, probably became lonely and wanted to visit her friends and family, as well as talk to them frequently on the phone. MM would have viewed that as a betrayal: he was happy with just MT, why should she want anyone besides him? The more he tried to tighten his control over her and isolate her, the more resistant and frightened she became, until she asked her family for help to escape him.

And I like that the alarm vibrates or my wrist,
About the baby monitor, Im sure they had one and in all his jealousy and planning, I bet he never thought of that small detail.

I could definitely see Spencer in particular using this feature, since he probably had to be up quite a bit earlier than Monique and wouldn't want to wake her with a noisy alarm

I agree, and he probably didnt want anyone coming over either ( they’d probably have to travel and spend the night and it would interfere with his schedule/studies. They dont want anyone else in your ear. Maybe the lifestyle didnt hit her till they moved away,
No wonder,she left she probably couldn't get out of there fast enough,
