In a shocking moment in the investigation, while Monique and Spencer are out of town at the Big 10 Championship game on December 6, McKee is captured on video entering the "curtilage" of the Tepe home.

"Curtilage" is the property immediately surrounding a home and is considered an extension of the dwelling for Fourth Amendment purposes.

In the second half of the championship game, Monique excuses herself and returns to the hotel room. This is at the same time McKee is at the Tepe home. Asked "why" she left the game, Spencer tells friends Monique is upset about something involving her ex-husband.

During the time of the homicides, McKee's phone is left at St. Anthony Hospital in Rockford and shows no activity for about 17 hours from December 29 until after noon on December 30.

Friends and family tell investigators how Monique's ex-husband McKee had been abusive and made numerous threats on her life during and after their marriage.

Friends and family also tell investigators that McKee would force Monique into unwanted sex and strangulation. McKee tells Monique he can kill her any time he wants; he will buy the house right next door to her, and she is always going to be his wife.
