Dr. Spencer Tepe and Wife Monique Found Shot Dead — Ex-Husband McKee Faces Life

A Columbus dentist and his wife were found shot to death in their home on December 30th—and now her ex-husband, a vascular surgeon, has pleaded not guilty to four counts of aggravated murder. Michael McKee, 39, appeared via video for his arraignment on January 23rd, represented by defense attorney Diane Menashe. He waived bond and remains in custody. Dr. Spencer Tepe, 37, and Monique Tepe, 39, were killed in their Weinland Park home while their two children, ages four and one, were inside. The children were found unharmed. Police have called this a "targeted attack" and a "domestic violence related attack." Investigators say surveillance footage captured McKee's vehicle arriving before the murders and leaving shortly after. Multiple firearms were seized from his Rockford, Illinois property, with one weapon showing a preliminary ballistic link to shell casings found at the scene. McKee's medical license had expired in June 2025, and he was added to a malpractice lawsuit months before the killings. Monique and McKee divorced in 2017. Spencer and Monique were approaching their fifth wedding anniversary. Franklin County Prosecutor Shayla Favor will be part of the prosecution team handling what may become the highest-profile case in the county this year.#SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #MichaelMcKee #ColumbusOhioMurder #TepeMurderCase #DomesticViolence #TrueCrimeToday #AggravatedMurder #JusticeForSpencer #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
