The Warning Signs Police Missed in the Tepe Murder Case

The Warning Signs Police Missed in the Tepe Murder Case
#Spencer Tepe #Monique Tepe #Michael McKee
In this episode of Police Off The Cuff, we examine the murders of Spencer and Monique Tepe from a different and deeply important angle — The Missed Moment.

Rather than focusing on suspects or courtroom outcomes, this discussion looks at escalation: the subtle warning signs, behavioral shifts, and critical moments before violence turns fatal. In many domestic-related homicide cases, the danger doesn’t appear suddenly — it builds quietly, often hidden behind normal routines and unresolved conflict.

Drawing on law-enforcement experience, we break down how investigators analyze these cases after the fact, asking the hardest question of all:
When could this have been stopped?

This episode explores:

How domestic violence escalates over time

Why warning signs are often overlooked or minimized

What investigators mean by “intervention windows”

How legal limits can prevent action before a crime occurs

Why the most important clues often appear long before the crime scene

This is not speculation.
This is not blame.
This is how homicide investigators think when they work backward through tragedy — trying to understand the moment where everything might have changed.
