A SIGNIFICANT TURNING POINT: Arrest of Monique Tepe’s Ex-Husband Marks Major Step in Ohio Double Homicide Case — CCTV Footage Plays Key Role
The arrest of Michael David McKee, 39, Monique Tepe’s ex-husband, represents a pivotal advancement in the investigation into the December 30, 2025, murders of Spencer Tepe, 37, a beloved Columbus dentist, and his wife Monique Tepe, 39. Charged with two counts of murder, McKee was taken into custody on January 10, 2026, in Rockford, Illinois, without incident. He remains in the Winnebago County Jail pending extradition to Ohio, with court proceedings expected to begin soon.

The breakthrough stemmed from diligent review of neighborhood surveillance footage (CCTV), which police initially released on January 5, 2026, showing a hooded “person of interest” walking calmly in a snowy alley near the Tepe home during the estimated time of the homicides (between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. on December 30). While the footage itself was described as eerie and chilling, the “horrifying detail previously overlooked” appears to refer to the deeper analysis of additional CCTV capturing a vehicle arriving just prior to the shootings and departing shortly after. Detectives tracked this vehicle to McKee, located it in Rockford, Illinois, and confirmed evidence that he possessed it before and after the incident—establishing probable cause for the warrant.

No forced entry was reported, and three 9-millimeter casings were recovered. The couple’s two young children (ages 1 and 4) and family dog were found unharmed inside the home.
The Personal Connection and Investigation Timeline
McKee and Monique Tepe were married from 2015 to 2017, divorcing amicably on grounds of “incompatibility” with no children or spousal support involved. No motive has been publicly disclosed, and authorities have kept many specifics sealed to safeguard the case. The initial welfare check on December 30 involved an officer going to the wrong address, delaying discovery until friends entered the home and found the bodies.

The Tepe family expressed relief at the arrest, calling it “an important step toward justice” while emphasizing their commitment to remembering Spencer—a devoted mentor, sports enthusiast, and father—and Monique—a joyful mother and community connector. A public celebration of life was held on January 11, 2026.
As the case proceeds to court, the CCTV evidence—particularly the vehicle tracking—has transformed what was a baffling mystery into a focused prosecution. McKee is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and the investigation remains active.
