I’m curious about some of the inner workings and ‘order of operation,’ so to speak.
I assume he couldn’t have been arrested until charges were formally filed, but with as high profile of a case as it became, the media and general public would see the filing nearly immediately on the Franklin Co court website. I would think they wouldn’t want to file until they know exactly where he is vs doing it and risking him being a greater threat to others/himself?
Would it be a case where police are working together across different jurisdictions and essentially “we’ve located vehicle with plates ABC1234 and have a visual of McKee inside the building, go ahead and file” and they approach him in real time as soon as it’s official?
Yes I think the offer should be that the DP is taken off the table only with full confession and admission of guilt. This will spare the family some details that look to be quite disturbing. And spare the public funding an expensive high profile case where they have to listen to this man rant and rave about all the imagined wrongdoings of the world and good people.

I'm not so sure that any notice was sent to Monique or Michael. I think that it could have been merely an update to the wrong divorce and was quickly eliminated the following day.
An "original copy of hearing notice filed" means the formal, signed document setting a court hearing date has been officially submitted to the court clerk, usually electronically (e-filing) or in paper form, with proof it was also served (sent) to all parties, ensuring transparency and due process for the upcoming court event, with details like date, time, and location included.
It could be that the documents were actually served to the right parties but the notation of Original Copy of Hearing Notice Filed was just noted on the wrong account. It was removed/canceled the next day.
I'm not a legal expert. So, I don't know if I am interpreting the updates correctly.

Yes, I personally chaperone during certain exams; however, this is a disciplinary restriction that was placed on MM's license by the Illinois board because of his arrest.Use of Chaperones

I think NG really got it wrong tonight. Going on and on about what kids found. As I understand it the room was locked so they did not see the scene or the bodies. NG made a really big deal about the condition of the bodies etc.
And its relation to domestic violence. Double whammy.
Well, he was arrested for two counts of aggravated murder, and it was domestic violence-related.

It's possible that MM may want a plea deal. And I think it's also possible that the prosecutor may still ask the jury to consider the death penalty if the jury convicts MM on the aggravated murder charges.
In Ohio when someone is convicted of aggravated murder and the death penalty is on the table by the prosecutor, the jury can only choose the death penalty or life without parole as the sentence.
By having the death penalty on the table, the prosecutor is ensuring that the convicted person won't ever be released from prison during the rest of their life.

Thanks for refreshing my memory for me. I recall that both murder cases had extensive coverage in the Columbus news media.
I mean I like NG intentions and respect her backstory, but she's kind of become known for misrepresenting cases, interjecting some assumptions, and click baiting if you will. If she said she heard directly from some sources or has some exclusive information I don't know. but even then I might take it with a grain of salt.
Yes and a firerms count of use of suppressor. There are also overlapping/synergistic charges if you will. As I posted a few pages back:
It's not odd. A lot of healthcare providers commute. I personally drive over 60 miles each way and have for over 10 years.
Straight out of Stephen King's "Misery"Yeah, I don't know about erotomania. No disrespect to Dr. Walker but I think it's a stretch.
Erotomania, also known as de Clérambault's syndrome, is an uncommon paranoid condition that is characterized by an individual's delusions of another person being infatuated with them.
Erotomania is more common in women, but men are more likely to exhibit violent and stalker-like behaviors. The core symptom of erotomania is that the individual holds an unshakable belief that another person is secretly in love with them. In some cases, the person with the condition may believe several people at once are "secret admirers". Most commonly, the individual has delusions of being loved by an unattainable person who is usually an acquaintance or someone the person has never met.
They may also experience other types of delusions concurrently with erotomania, such as delusions of reference, wherein the perceived admirer secretly communicates their love by subtle methods such as body posture, arrangement of household objects, colors, numbers, license plates on cars from specific states and other seemingly innocuous acts—or, if the person is a public figure, through clues in the media such as coded social media posts and meaningful clothing choices. Some delusions may be extreme such as the conception, birth, and kidnapping of children that never existed or the belief that the individual was predestined or chosen by God to be with the object of their obsession. The delusional objects may be replaced by others over time, and some may be chronic in fixed forms. Denial is characteristic with this disorder as the patients do not accept the fact that their object of delusion may be married, unavailable, or uninterested. The phantom lover may also be imaginary or deceased.

I am the opposite. I forgive, but I never forget, because I also don't believe people ever change. Change is possible, but it takes a huge amount of work and commitment that most people lack.

ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO) — Authorities confirmed Michael McKee, the suspect in the Ohio double slaying of his ex-wife and her husband, was arrested at a Rockford Chick-fil-A restaurant on Saturday.
I'm not sure what company is in use now, but Ohio used to contract with TransCor.
Regarding Mckee's use of Suppressor and Firearms- a quick overview.
Now that it has been confirmed in the pending charges that McKee used a suppressor, a few thoughts from someone that has lived in several states and trained and used firearms for a few decades.
Originally, there was speculation early on this thread about the use of suppressors. Ohio is a suppressor friendly state, meaning they can be owned, used, and used in hunting. You can buy a legal one with an NFA tax stamp (approx. $200, which was eliminated federally this year). McKee was living and found in Illinois where suppressors are illegal for private ownership, classified as prohibited weapons under state law, with no exceptions for hunting or sport. IL (especially the Chicago area Cook County) is considered a "ban state" with highly restrictive gun laws and fines. That McKee possessed a suppressor and other guns that may have been felonies in Cook County suggests a high risk mindset, maybe not originally of nefarious intent but certainly in light of this case that's were it went. When you live in a ban state as a firearms owner you have to be extra careful as you can easily be jammed up ordering a wrong part, or capacity magazine, etc. and you really need to do your homework and navigate the laws to comply. I would be interested in how he obtained the suppressor, though with his ties to OH it may be explained (see above).
Furthermore entering the house with a suppressed firearm indicates a higher degree of premeditation as he clearly set out to stealthily assassinate Spencer and Monique. It is still unclear to me why he used his own car and plates and why he did not disposed the murder weapon (even threw it in a lake on his long drive home) if he had this "planning" but perhaps his mental state was inconsistent.
Regarding the crime itself, 9mm suppressed -perhaps even subsonic rounds- would not wake up the neighbors if shot inside. Frankly it might not even alert the children or dog.
Regarding the other firearms found in his IL home (reports mentioned several) I can not make much more of at this time other than Cook County has strict restrictions on several types of firearms. It is possible in his moves (LV, VA) he simply had disregard for the law, but as a firearms user who has lived in a ban state, the penalties are strict (often felonies) so again it shows an inclination of risk.
