Parents Shot Dead While Their Kids Slept in the Next Room

In late December, Monique and Spencer Tepe were found shot to death inside their Ohio home, the same place where they had once exchanged wedding vows. The killings happened in the early morning hours while their two young children slept in nearby bedrooms, unharmed and unaware. There were no signs of forced entry and no weapon left behind. Surveillance footage later showed a hooded figure walking calmly through a snowy alley near the townhouse around the time of the murders. Investigators also tracked a vehicle seen arriving shortly before the shooting and leaving soon after. That vehicle was traced more than four hundred miles away to Rockford, Illinois and linked to Monique’s ex husband, Michael McKee. McKee was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated murder. Prosecutors allege he drove overnight, committed the killings, and returned home as if nothing had happened. Update: Family members now say McKee emotionally tormented Monique during their short marriage and describe the relationship as abusive. Police also report that during a search of McKee’s condo, multiple firearms were recovered and one weapon is believed to be a ballistic match to shell casings found at the crime scene. These are allegations, and the case will ultimately be decided in court. Two parents are gone. Two children are left behind. And now a jury will be asked to decide whether this was an act of long held resentment, obsession, or something even darker. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
