Six months before Monique and Spencer Tepe were shot dead, court records show contact between Monique and her ex-husband Dr. Michael McKee. We don't know yet what that filing contained. But experts believe it may have been a form of legal stalking — McKee forcing Monique to respond after years of silence.

McKee, a 39-year-old vascular surgeon, is now charged with two counts of aggravated murder. On December 30, 2025, at 3:52 AM, Spencer and Monique Tepe were killed in their Columbus, Ohio home while their two young children slept nearby. Emilia is 4. Beckham isn't yet 2. Both were found unharmed.

The timeline leading to that night is damning. June 2025: court contact with Monique and McKee's Nevada medical license expires. September 2025: he purchases a Chicago condo. October 2025: a former colleague tells a process server that McKee has "disappeared." December 30: double murder.

McKee and Monique divorced in 2017 after a seven-month marriage. The paperwork reveals the dynamic: she bought her own engagement and wedding rings, never took his name, and was required to reimburse him $1,281.59 with a 23% interest penalty. Her family told reporters they'd been waiting eight years for this arrest.

Retired FBI agent Maureen O'Connell calls McKee a "grievance collector." Therapist Darby Fox believes he started planning when Monique filed for divorce. Retired LAPD Lieutenant Jeff Weninger says McKee likely sees himself as the victim in all of this.

McKee maintains his innocence. He faces death penalty-eligible charges. Police tracked him through surveillance footage showing a vehicle arriving before the murders and leaving after. His neighbor's summary: "I used to talk with him by the pool — and then he turns out to be a killer."
