Well that's terrifying.
That is pretty rural, agricultural area in Illinois. They say Chicago, but it's about 2 hours west, in the central part of the state, near the Wisconsin border. Cherry Valley is a very little, nice town.
My question is why in the world would he be doing anything to them to even have someone file a restraining order-it’s been 5 yrs and seem to have gone their separate ways
I know the documents also showed that she claimed she bought both the engagement and wedding rings for herself, totaling $6000. Maybe he disputes that… $6000 8 years later seems like an overreaction but it can be shocking how petty some people can be and how long they can hold grudges.Chatgpt says...

Filed: May 2, 2017
Completed / Closed: June 2017

There are no ongoing actions in this case.
Key Sections Explained
Case Type
“Divorce – No Children”
Means there were no minor children involved, so no custody, child support, or parenting plans.
Parties
Plaintiff: Monique F. Sabaturski
Defendant: Michael D. McKee
The plaintiff is simply the person who filed first — it does not mean fault.
Attorneys
Both parties are listed as representing themselves at times.
You’ll see entries like “Auto Appear Pro Se” and “Auto Atty Withdrawal” — this means:
An attorney may have been initially involved
Then automatically withdrawn
The parties proceeded without lawyers
This is very common in uncontested divorces.
Here’s the meaningful flow, ignoring repetitive admin entries:
Early May 2017
Case filed
Temporary orders entered (standard mutual restraining order — very normal)
Security deposit/legal aid entries (standard filing mechanics)
June 2017
Referral to private judge
Motions granted
Judgment entry
Divorce decree issued
Notice of final appealable order
This is when the divorce became final.
After Finalization
A few cost bill and clerical/statistical entries
(These are bookkeeping items, not legal disputes.)
Case Closed
Status = CLOSED
No further hearings
No pending motions
No enforcement actions
What This Does NOT Show
No restraining orders between the parties
Bottom Line
This was a straightforward, uncontested divorce that:
Moved quickly
Had minimal court involvement
Was finalized cleanly in about 6–7 weeks
Nothing here suggests drama, litigation battles, or unresolved issues.
Good point, yes a protection order could impact MD licensure and the medical board could investigate the matter. The board has a duty to protect the public.
Perhaps the code to their door lock was something easily guessable, like their wedding anniversary or a child's birthday?
Unfortunately this is a case of that old saying, “where there is a will there is a way.” Whatever his motive(will) was he was going to make a way. Definitely not rational thinking, but someone willing to kill a single person or two is not someone who thinks rationally. No matter how book smart you are, it goes to show that you can make dumb life decisions. Being in the medical profession myself, I’ve always said that doctors are no different than us, they put their pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else.
He had dead eyes and flat affect.McKee is Monique Tepe’s ex-husband, according to the same records
This sounds personal. I get the feeling her has been bringing some drama to this couple for a while and even the reopening of the divorce case could show that he’s trying to make their life hell. He feels spited over something, probably financial. And jealousy and hatred and resentment due to her ~something~ such as her moving on and having a beautiful life (the wedding video would not have helped things). Probably blames her for something too.
How would he have even known what kind of lock they had that he'd be confident he could get in undetected?
You cannot estimate someone's affect by looking at one photo.
Interesting. I considered getting one, but decided against it.
What is flat affect?
