OH - Spencer and Monique Tepe found shot to death at home 2 children unharmed, Columbus, 30 December 2025 *ex-husband arrested*

[Moonchime]

I checked the Weinland Park area on the AirBnb app. There are quite few Airbnb rentals located in that immediate neighborhood with two located behind the Tepe home.

*In the photos below I highlighted the Tepe home location in yellow.

That's very interesting. I wonder if he rented one?

And some of us may recall during a cross country drive to bring LS to CO she attacked LE.
I think flying is the best option. imo

I agree with you that flying is the best option.

We don't know what MM's state of mind will be during the extradition trip.

Let's say that he is driven by vehicle transport and they stop at a rest area somewhere for a bathroom break. And then MM tries to escape.

By trying to escape, MM would be hoping in his mind to die suicide by cop.

So not only would it be safer, it would get him back to Ohio in a few hours time versus an all day road trip.

My thinking is that he would likely be flown in a small private aircraft from an small airport rather than in a commercial passenger airline from a major airport.

He left the Tepe children technically orphaned. Their extended family will gain custody and care for them of course, but it stinks that there aren’t special charges against him for what he’s also done to the little ones.

JMO

For all we know, just before he killed Monique he said he was going to kill the children next.

This reminded me that he wasn't dressed in protective clothing so he's not on suicide watch at the moment.

And at least if he manages to get out of the vehicle - well . . .

I got married in March 2020, one week after public gatherings were restricted. We had nearly 100 people RSVP but had to limit our guests to immediate family and the wedding party at the last minute. We streamed the ceremony for those unable to attend via a privately shared Facebook group. But had the video been shared on YouTube instead, I probably wouldn’t have thought twice about it TBH. The weeks leading up to the wedding and the not knowing if we would even be able to get married was INCREDIBLY stressful. The date also held a lot of importance to us because we got married the same day we met 20 years earlier. TLDR, I was so happy to be able to have the wedding at all that I wouldn’t have cared who could see it.

I think Monique was just expressing a genuine gratitude for finally finding the right man for her. It’s the same as saying I’ve kissed a lot of frogs but finally met my prince or God bless the broken road that led me to you. I’m sure the last thing she worried about was how her ex-husband might feel about it.

JMO

I have a feeling that child endangerment may be added to the charges at some point.

This isn't true. You do not have to be board certified to be any type of surgeon.

Any physician can call themselves a surgeon, but board certification sure helps when it comes to getting and keeping hospital privileges.

I apologize if someone has done this, just point me to the post, but I am looking for the divorce docket. I am seeing it on another site, and it is showing that the divorce was reopened in June. At first, it looked like it might have just been an update and the case was NOT being reopened. Now I just saw papers that indicate it was reopened in June, and a court date set, then a continuance???? Does anyone have access to verified papers that we can see? I am now curious. That is super significant if MM filed to reopen case for something?? In June??

I'm still shocked he did this after 8 years

Also makes me wonder why would anyone reopen a divorce case after this long of time? I didn’t even know that was a thing you could do?! Would it be to dispute any financial agreements or conditions?

 

[LovesPeace2]

My guess would be they will drive him, but idk.

I've seen both methods. Kohberger was flown from PA to ID. Leticia Stauch was driven from FL to CO.

jmo

Leticias road trip was something else. Wonder what this guy's trip back is going to be like? I can see his <modsnip> face wanting to tell his tale of being done wrong jmvho

It’s in the media thread on WS for this case, posted by @kwins, who also posted the medical malpractice complaint against the MM and others. I skimmed it. If my understanding is correct, the plaintiff is/was an incarcerated felon who alleges a lack of care and includes MM only because MM serves on a medical board for the prison. It didn’t seem like a career-derailing event for MM.
