I think I should point out that there are rumors he remarried right away after Monique. The chat at Angenette's channel had people saying he remarried, then had a gf. I have NEVER seen these things verified. One chatter said some channel (not naming it) had the papers that proved the 2nd marriage. Still not verifiable.
There are a lot of things and rumors in this case that can't be verified. Most real news is saying they have no verification of these rumors.
Just saying so people are aware. It may be true, it may not.

I agree with this. I've only seen privacy locks (deadbolts) in hotels. Never in a residential bedroom.

Yes exactly. A typical basic knob lock isn't all that unusual and I think that's what it likely was. There's no hint either any windows were in or out.
Of course anything is possible but it would be very odd to have an lock like that inside and him have to go out a window. No forced entry, etc.
My biggest question, and the question of many, is how he got in. I mean he could have been let in, could have been lying in wait, a few possibilities...
I have a lock with a key on my bedroom door and I can lock it and shut it.
The lock I have isn’t a deadbolt. It’s just a lock that you can use a key to open.

It would seem unlikely it was a deadbolt or that he would have the key. I think it likely just a knob turn lock or some such. He couldn't have known the door, the key, etc. imo to plan for such but most knobs do have a minor lock.
Heck when I was a kid knobs in the upstairs bedroom still had locks that took skeleton keys lol. They were never engaged though, well one room was that was called the junk room. I think the folks kept that locked but later turned it into a bedroom.

Can you lock your door while it's open and close it behind you? All my bedroom, bathroom, and exterior doors work like that.
We were disagreeing with the idea if the door was locked, the perp had to lock himself in and crawl out through a window.

yes, i think based on what is known, it is very unlikely he went out a window. most locks on interior doors if any are just those simple ones, you engage it and pull it shut. or they have no lock, the simplest of door knobs. for the heck of it, i just went and checked my bedroom door and at first i thought it had none but then realized it had the type you push in the knob and turn. i've never had a reason to use it so i honestly after all these years have never looked to see if it had one. i don't want to lock myself out and have no reason to lock myself in. then i checked the bathroom, no reason to ever use that either. same.
most have seen the video of him in court too. he is a tall, big man. absolutely no hint or sign of forced entry and i doubt he exited through a window. he simply locked the door, exited the room and pulled the door shut and left the home. Imo.

i can't stress how many unverified rumors there have been in this case. i heard at one time that the friends found the back door standing open. now i've heard three co workers had the code and entered it. just for one example.

Not the biggest Plunder fan as she will speculate and drone on and milk out a video to make it a long one BUT she does get stuff others don't fairly often.
At just past 13 minutes into this one, saving you all the time of listening to it all, there is someone who dated the perp after his divorce. So that's kind of interesting...
Just a couple of minutes.
Also I've seen people arguing in chats that he married right after his divorce from Monique. From what I understand they are looking at a DIFFERENT Michael D. McKee and he did not. Dating this woman around the time he did seems to show that the second marriage is FALSE but people ARE saying it and saying they've seen papers to show it on some channel or another. Well sure they have, they just have the WRONG Michael D. McKee.
Plunder. 13+ minutes in.

Yes, I can close it and lock it behind me. I don’t have to crawl through any windows!

Every bedroom and bathroom door in any house I have ever lived in has privacy locks.
You can not lock ours and shut the door after you lock them. You can only lock them while the door is shut.

Mine don't allow that. Must have been too many kids locking themselves out of their rooms and nobody in the house knew how to unlock them or something similar or it could be the brand..

That's flat out weird to me. Never seen a home like that and I have owned, rented and lived in many. A child can lock themselves in from a parent?? In their bedroom?? Boy I would not like that.
Of course you can lock a bathroom door in most homes from the inside but you can also pull it shut with the lock turned and lock it which is really inconvenient if by accident.
I think the consensus is he did not go out a window as you thought.
But who knows... Would be highly unlikely but then anything including aliens are possible I guess.

An example of a typical interior door knob lock. You turn it and can lock from inside OR pull door shut on leaving and then it will be locked from outside. I think this is likely what he did and then simply left through a door. Probably the back door.
This would keep small children from getting in. A push button lock works the same.

Also it is rumored or thought the bedroom was on the upper floor. I really don't think he went out an upper floor window.

Yes. Every bedroom and bathroom in every house I've ever lived in had one on them.
Mine you have to be on the locked side. If I try to lock it and then shut the door, the latch is stuck out and you can not shut the door.

Well maybe that's a more recent safeguard or something but this was a newer home.
It seems most here are more familiar with the ones you can turn and shut the door locked after turning it. These and the push buttons are not hard to disengage with a wire hanger if you do it accidentally.
As I said, I just don't see him going out a window. There were so many cameras in the area and the Tepes themselves had a security system allegedly.
It is still debatable about how he got in as well. I really hope we find that out but maybe they don't know either, I guess we will find out.
I'm just saying if he used a window I'd think they would know or do you think he slid an upper story window open and shut it behind him? Very unlikely I think.

Security systems and locks are only good if they are actually used. We have no idea how security minded they were. Just because people have them, many don't use them. There are also ways to bypass many personal security systems. If he was determined enough, he could do his research.
I would think if he had been harassing them recently, they would be super security minded. Making sure doors and windows are locked and audible system set. Yet, he got in somehow.
