Michael McKee Arrested: Surgeon Accused of Killing Ex-Wife Monique Tepe & Husband

The ex-husband of Monique Tepe has been arrested and charged with murdering her and her husband Spencer Tepe in their Columbus, Ohio home. Michael David McKee, 39, a vascular surgeon living in Chicago, was taken into custody Saturday in Rockford, Illinois, after detectives linked him to a vehicle captured on surveillance footage near the crime scene. Spencer Tepe, 37, a dentist, and Monique Tepe, 39, were found shot dead on December 30, 2025. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds; she was shot at least once in the chest. Three 9mm casings were found inside. No weapon was recovered. No forced entry. Their two children — a 4-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son — were found unharmed. McKee and Monique married in August 2015 and separated seven months later.

Divorce documents reveal Monique listed both her engagement and wedding rings as "Separate Property" with the explanation "I paid." The separation agreement required her to reimburse McKee $1,281.59 with a 23% interest penalty. She filed for divorce citing incompatibility and paid for a private judge to speed things up. Eight years passed. She remarried. Had kids. Built a life. And then, allegedly, her ex-husband drove from Illinois and killed her and Spencer in the home where they'd exchanged vows. Police have not released a motive. McKee awaits extradition to Ohio.
