Former FBI Agent Explains "Wound Collectors" — What Drove Dr. McKee to Allegedly Kill After 8 Years?

Eight years. That's how long Dr. Michael McKee allegedly waited after his divorce from Monique Tepe before he drove from Illinois to Ohio and shot her and her husband Spencer dead in their home.
Most people move on after a failed marriage. They heal. They rebuild. But according to behavioral experts, McKee may be what's called a "wound collector" — someone who doesn't let go of perceived injuries. Someone who catalogs grievances, assigns blame, and carries resentment for years until it explodes.
Robin Dreeke is a former FBI Special Agent and was head of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He's spent his career studying dangerous personalities and identifying threats before they act. In this interview, he breaks down the psychology of wound collectors — how they think, how they justify, and why they can go years or even decades before acting on their grievances.
We discuss: What separates someone who moves on from someone who stews for eight years. How high-functioning professionals like surgeons can mask dangerous resentment. What triggers a wound collector to finally act. How they flip the narrative and convince themselves they're the victim. What watching an ex-spouse's happiness does to someone who never let go. And whether there are warning signs that family and friends can recognize before it's too late.
McKee had no criminal record. No documented threats. Nothing on paper that flagged him as dangerous. He maintains his innocence and plans to plead not guilty to two counts of premeditated aggravated murder.
But understanding how wound collectors operate might help someone recognize the signs before the next tragedy.
