On December 30, 2025, Dr. Spencer Tepe and his wife Monique were found shot dead inside their Columbus, Ohio home. Spencer, a 37-year-old dentist, was shot multiple times. Monique, 39, was shot at least once in the chest. Their two young children — a 4-year-old girl and a 1-year-old boy — were discovered alive in separate rooms, physically unharmed but left alone with the bodies of their parents.

There was no forced entry. Nothing was stolen. Three 9mm shell casings were recovered from the bedroom.

Eleven days later, police made an arrest that shocked no one in the family — but stunned everyone else.

Michael David McKee. A 39-year-old vascular surgeon. Monique's ex-husband. A man with no criminal record, no malpractice history, no visible red flags. They divorced in 2017 after a seven-month marriage. Eight years of silence. And then, according to police, he allegedly drove 300 miles from Chicago to Columbus, executed his ex-wife and her husband, and drove home.

The murder weapon was allegedly found in his penthouse apartment.

This podcast follows every detail of the case against Michael McKee. Every court hearing. Every motion. Every piece of evidence. Every question the prosecution will have to answer — and every hole the defense will try to exploit.

But this is more than a legal case. It's a study in obsession, control, and the kind of danger that hides behind respectable careers and friendly faces. Monique's family says she never called McKee by name after the divorce. Just "her ex-husband." They say she talked about emotional abuse and threatening behavior. That she was always worried about him.

She did everything right. Left early. Didn't fight. Moved on. Built a new life.

It wasn't enough.

The Tepe Murders: The Case Against Michael McKee examines how this happened, what the evidence actually shows, and what this case reveals about domestic violence, grievance obsession, and a legal system that often can't act until it's too late.

    December 6th: What Monique Tepe Allegedly Knew Before the Murders
    Feb 2 2026

    New court documents in the Spencer and Monique Tepe murder case reveal disturbing allegations about what Monique may have known before December 30th. According to the unsealed affidavit, witnesses told detectives that Michael McKee — Monique's ex-husband — allegedly threatened to kill her, told her she'd "always be his wife," and was captured on surveillance at her Columbus home while she was out of town. Friends say she left the Big Ten Championship game at halftime, upset about something involving McKee. Three weeks later, both she and Spencer were dead. Today we're asking the hard question: If she knew — why didn't she report it? And would it have mattered? We break down Ohio stalking laws, the psychology of why victims don't report, and what the system would have actually done if she had called. Plus — resources for anyone listening who may be in a similar situation right now.

  • How Police Caught Michael McKee: The Forensic Trail Behind the Tepe Murders

    How Police Caught Michael McKee: The Forensic Trail Behind the Tepe Murders
    Feb 2 2026

    Eleven days. That's how long it took investigators to go from discovering Spencer and Monique Tepe's bodies in their Columbus home to arresting Michael McKee 350 miles away in Rockford, Illinois. No eyewitnesses. No forced entry. A suspect who allegedly went completely dark on his cell phone during the murder window and used stolen license plates to avoid detection.

    Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the investigation piece by piece. The surveillance footage analysis that identified McKee's vehicle. The NIBIN ballistics database that allegedly linked a gun found in his Chicago condo to the crime scene. The multi-agency coordination between Columbus Police, FBI, Chicago PD, and Illinois authorities.

    We examine what investigators look for when a phone goes silent for 18 hours, how stolen plates from two states complicate vehicle tracking, and why the firearm suppressor allegation transforms this from a crime of passion into alleged premeditated execution. Coffindaffer explains what made this case move fast — and what typically turns investigations like this into cold cases.

  • Unsealed Affidavit: McKee Inside Tepe Home December 6th — Alleged Strangulation, Death Threats Revealed

    Unsealed Affidavit: McKee Inside Tepe Home December 6th — Alleged Strangulation, Death Threats Revealed
    Feb 2 2026

    A newly unsealed affidavit reveals Michael McKee was at Spencer and Monique Tepe's Columbus home on December 6th, 2025—three weeks before prosecutors say he returned to murder them both. According to the Columbus Dispatch, video showed McKee going into the home and leaving "a few hours later" while the Tepes were 200 miles away at the Big Ten Championship game. WOSU reports he walked through the yard. Either way, Monique found out. She left the game at halftime, upset about something involving her ex-husband. Twenty-four days later, Spencer and Monique were found shot to death in their second-floor bedroom. The affidavit details eight years of alleged threats. Witnesses told investigators McKee said he could "kill her at any time," that he would "find her and buy the house right next to her," that "she will always be his wife."

    Witnesses also told investigators that during the marriage, McKee allegedly strangled Monique and forced unwanted sex on her. Strangulation is the single greatest predictor of future lethality in domestic violence cases. Yet Columbus police confirmed there were no prior reports filed. No restraining orders. Nothing on paper. The Tepes' two young children—ages 1 and 4—were asleep in the house, unharmed. McKee was arrested at a Rockford Chick-fil-A eleven days after the murders. He's pleaded not guilty to four counts of aggravated murder and one count of aggravated burglary. This episode examines what the unsealed documents reveal about the alleged planning behind these killings, the psychology of someone who refuses to accept that a relationship has ended, and the brutal reality that leaving, divorcing, and rebuilding doesn't always protect you from someone who never recognized your right to leave.
