New Developments: Monique Tepe’s Ex-Husband Arrested in Ohio Double Homicide — Vehicle Tracked on CCTV Shatters Case Silence
In a major breakthrough announced on January 10, 2026, Columbus Police confirmed the arrest of Michael David McKee, 39, Monique Tepe’s ex-husband, in connection with the December 30, 2025, murders of Spencer Tepe, 37, a respected local dentist, and his wife Monique Tepe, 39. McKee, a vascular surgeon from Chicago, was taken into custody without incident in Rockford, Illinois, and charged with two counts of murder. He is currently held in the Winnebago County Jail, with an initial court appearance set for January 12, 2026, to begin extradition proceedings to Ohio.

The arrest came after an 11-day investigation that initially yielded limited public details, but pivoted dramatically when detectives revisited surveillance evidence.
How CCTV and Vehicle Tracking Broke the Case
Investigators identified McKee as the suspect through neighborhood surveillance footage released on January 5, 2026, showing a “person of interest” walking in an alley near the Tepe home during the critical window (between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. on December 30). This footage, combined with additional CCTV, allowed detectives to track movements to a vehicle that arrived shortly before the estimated time of the homicides and departed immediately after.
Court documents detail how police linked the vehicle to McKee, locating it in Rockford, Illinois, where evidence confirmed his possession of it before and after the incident. This vehicle tracking evidence effectively “shattered the silence” surrounding the case, leading to swift identification and the cross-state arrest.

No signs of forced entry were reported, and three 9-millimeter casings were recovered at the scene.
Personal Connection and Ongoing Investigation
McKee and Monique Tepe were married from 2015 to 2017, divorcing amicably according to public records (finalized on grounds of “incompatibility” with no children or spousal support involved). No motive has been publicly released, and authorities continue to describe the case as active while withholding further specifics to protect the investigation.
The couple’s two young children (ages 1 and 4) and family dog were found unharmed and are now with relatives. The Tepe family issued a statement praising the arrest as “an important step toward justice” and reaffirming their focus on honoring Spencer and Monique’s memory while protecting the children.

As proceedings move forward, the community in Columbus remains in mourning for the beloved couple—Spencer remembered as a devoted mentor and sports fan, Monique as a joyful mother and connector—while awaiting full accountability in court.
