LIVE: Why Didn't Monique Report? Therapist Shavaun Scott on Coercive Control | Tepe Case

She was terrified for eight years. She told her family. She never told the police.

Tonight we're examining the victim experience in the Tepe murder case with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott. Monique Tepe allegedly knew Michael McKee was dangerous. Family says she talked about the emotional abuse, the death threats, the fear that never went away even after she rebuilt her life. But there were no police reports. No restraining orders. No official record.

Why do victims who understand the danger stay silent when it comes to the system?

Shavaun Scott has spent over thirty years in domestic violence work and trauma recovery. She's also a survivor — her ex-husband died by revenge suicide after she asked for divorce. She knows this territory intimately.

We're discussing coercive control — what Laura Richards calls "murder in slow motion." We're exploring why victims hope that distance and time will be enough. We're asking what it's like to carry fear for years while trying to appear happy and whole. And we want your questions in the chat.

Part 2 of our three-part interview series. Part 1 covered perpetrator psychology. Part 3 covers the aftermath.
