I am trying to figure out a way to use HEM to determine which players are going to slowplay AA and KK so that I don't try to squeeze them and get crushed.

What are the best ways to do this? I want be able to do a search to find out the likelihood that those big hands will just be limped behind, especially early in mtts.

I'm not sure this is possible, or even desirable. With MTTs it is unlikely you will have the number of hands on each potential villain to provide a decent analysis of their playing style to make such a determination. And the 'other' factors such as M, tourney stage, quality of other players at the table, position etc would still not account for all the possibilities of running into slow-played AA/KK.

Sure, some player types are more likely than others to slow play AA/KK, but I think you might be asking a bit too much of any tracker to overcome this prob. At least you can rejoice in that you got beat by the best hand pre-flop or that you sucked out. Other than that, reload another MTT and try again.
