On December 30, 2025, Spencer Tepe, 37, and his wife Monique were found fatally shot in their Columbus, Ohio home after Spencer failed to show up for work and colleagues requested a welfare check. Their two young children, a 4-year-old girl and a 1-year-old boy, were inside the house and found physically unharmed. Investigators estimate the killings occurred between 2:00 AM and 5:00 AM. There were no signs of forced entry and no weapon was recovered at the scene.

Police released surveillance footage of a person of interest in an alley near the Tepe home around the time of the murders, described only as wearing a dark hooded top and lighter-colored pants. Detectives later identified Monique’s ex-husband, Michael David McKee, as a suspect after tracking his vehicle on neighborhood cameras. McKee was arrested in Illinois and charged with two counts of murder; prosecutors upgraded the charges to Premeditated Aggravated Murder, alleging he traveled from his Chicago home to the scene. McKee waived an extradition hearing and was set to return to Ohio to face charges.

Did anyone in the Columbus area see a vehicle or person in the neighborhood between 2:00 AM and 5:00 AM on December 30, 2025?
