On December 30, 2025, Monique Tepe, 39, and her husband, Spencer Tepe, were found shot to death in their Columbus, Ohio, home after coworkers requested a welfare check when the couple failed to appear for work. Their two young children, ages one and four, were discovered physically unharmed in another room. There were no signs of forced entry and no weapons recovered at the scene.

Investigators focused on Monique’s ex-husband, Michael David McKee, 39, a vascular surgeon. Surveillance from a neighbor showed a vehicle linked to McKee near the Tepe residence around the time of the killings, and police released images of a person of interest seen in an alley between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. Authorities tracked McKee to Rockford, Illinois, and arrested him on January 10, 2026; a firearm found in his possession was preliminarily matched to evidence from the scene.

McKee was charged with two counts of murder, and a Franklin County grand jury later indicted him on four counts of aggravated murder with firearm specifications and one count of aggravated burglary; the charges allege premeditation and prosecutors have described the killings as a targeted attack related to domestic violence. He waived extradition to Ohio. Family members say McKee had terrified his ex-wife and had previously threatened her.

Did anyone in the Columbus area see the vehicle or the person in the alley around late December 30?
