It was conversation between a podcaster host and guest. Speculation. Thats why I am asking if the family has mentioned anything. What is RBBM?
Respectfully bolded by me - RBBM

But being there outside for hours? doing what? Did they have a little gazebo or a covered sitting area in their backyard? And he was just sitting there? Waiting? .they have a video of him arriving and then leaving hours later, so what happened in between?
It's been said he gained access through the basement window IIRC? Maybe he went there on the 6th to unlock or make it easily accessible when he came back to do the murders. If he was stalking her on social media, he would have known they wouldn't be home so he preplanned a way to gain access to house then.

I know I never used to check my windows to see if they are locked because I never open them, sinus problems ugh. We had professional window cleaners come in a few months ago and I was straightening a blind they had left crooked. It was unlocked along with about 3 others. :eek: Scared me to death even though we have a security system and it should go off if it was raised pass the sensor.

Just a thought.

What is strange to me was that, according to the affadavit, it seems the police had no idea about the ex-husband until they interviewed family and friends. This makes me think that the Tepes never reported MMs multiple stalking/terroristic threat episodes - assuming they occurred over the 8 year period since the divorce. Assuming the incident on Dec 6 showed MM on their stoop (i.e. curtilage) via the ring camera (and possibly saying something into it), you would think the police would immediately have focused on MM had they been notified of the Dec 6th incident. I think it was unlikely he was there on Dec 6th to plant cameras, bugging devices, car trackers etc. in order to track their movements. After all, he came back to the house on Tuesday Dec 30 to commit the act between 1 AM and 4 AM when most people are at home and asleep - no need for any tracking device. Perhaps on Dec 6th (Saturday) he was hoping they would be home and was planning to commit the act then, only to find out they were away. But it is just as plausible he went there on Dec 6th to simply terrorize them knowing, via social media - (theirs or a friend of theirs) they were going to be at the game and knowing they had a ring camera. I wonder who was taking care of the children that weekend? I assume they were not in the home with a caretaker.
Lastly, given what we now know regarding MM's longstanding resentment of and threats to MT as per the affdavit and how unhinged he clearly was (especially at the end), I can only imagine MM's thought processes as he watched ST and MT's wedding video on YouTube over and over again.
That's a big question for me as well, had Monique notified LE of the threats in the past or the Dec 6th incident? Did she think MM was just being a jerk and since he lived in another state didn't really take them so seriously?

Such a tragedy for the victims and all of the families, especially those young children left behind. Thank heavens he didn't harm them.

Thinking of Monique a lot lately. This could have happened to me or to any woman. You could marry someone who’s hiding his true colors or, like Kada Scott, you could go on one date with someone or just talk to them on a dating app, and suddenly you’re in a never ending nightmare.

I keep thinking about how terrifying it had to be for Spencer and Monique, I can’t shake the feeling and sadness.

I wonder if Monique was ever contacted by those trying to locale McKee in regards to the Nevada MM suit?

I'm not sure the affidavit implies that he was simply standing around on their stoop or in their yard for hours. I suspect what they mean is that he was detected on the ring camera left the area, and then several hours later came back to be detected on the ring camera again (to further terrorize him/her) until he finally left for good. But I could be wrong - the affidavit certainly does not make that clear.
