Columbus double murder: ex-husband arrested as motive remains unknown

Ex-husband Michael David McKee was arrested in Illinois on two murder counts in the December 30, 2025 killings of Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer Tepe in Columbus, Ohio. Ohio prosecutors upgraded the charges to premeditated, aggravated murder, and McKee has waived extradition to face them in Ohio. Authorities have not released a motive, which investigators are expected to explore during discovery through review of social media, internet searches, phone records, and movements. The Tepes’ two young children were found unharmed. McKee is represented as pleading not guilty, and prosecutors will build a narrative around motive as the case proceeds.
