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

We know. You’ve said it 900 times

But turns out there was a valid reason for concern.
There are also people that made unecessary comments about the BIL multiple times.

Shout out to truth and transparency, she has this 2 days ago

i don’t know why CPD held that presser. they should have just posted it on FB because more people would see it and it wouldn’t waste time…. because that all could have been an email

Not everyone is into social media, Twitter/X, and FB. So you can’t assume more people would have access to the information.

So I am curious if this is another case of an injustice collector type. It would seem if you were married for less than a year before separating and divorced less than 2 years after marriage, with no real fight over assets and so on. Then 8 years later you come back and kill her and her husband. WHY? This is a successful person with his own career and I'm sure he could find someone else as plenty of people would date a doctor/surgeon for various reasons. Why now? Why wait 8 years? Something must have been a trigger for him at this point. Maybe Christmas holiday or something happened in his personal life recently that set him back on this path of needing to hurt her? How sad.
IMO

Maybe it was the reopening of the divorce case, if M initiated it. Set him off.

Or maybe reopening the case was his idea of harassing her.

How sad (and unsurprising) that this woman moved on with her life, got married, had kids, and still lost her life to a man who seemingly couldn't get over her.

Didn’t really suspect the ex. Was thinking he should file a defamation suit or something when people accused him initially. Good work by LE in bringing him to justice. Glad he left the kids alone at least.

I’m curious to know the motive as well, because I also thought why now? What suddenly triggered this…

Doesn’t seem like huge news sites are reporting it yet but The Columbus Dispatch is pretty reliable.

 

[stmarysmead]

Awful thought. I wonder if she was shot in the side, because he held her and made her watch as he killed her husband….then pulled the trigger.

Honestly seemed like this guy had his life together, being a surgeon himself, having a medical license in another state etc. how freaking sad he’d be so consumed by jealousy he’d do something like this. I thought he had moved on.

Guess people wondering about it were right.

In my country we’ve had a bunch of well respected eye surgeons and doctors committing murder against their wives or landlords - it’s crazy.

Just out of curiosity, but why do you reopen a divorce case from years past?

 

[getthefax]

Hopefully now the perp doesn't unalive himself and faces justice

Such a cruel spiteful murder

He is in custody

 

[whitelilac]

Ex is from Chicago.
So he drove to Columbus.
Bet police ascertained he wasn't at work or present in Chicago at the time.

 

[MesquiteO21]

Grateful they caught the SOB. I now wonder if Spencer’s coworkers had heard there was some trouble afoot from the Ex. And THAT’S why they so quickly called 911.

This had been my initial thought, that they knew there was some trouble behind the scenes

(Of course I do still stand by the fact that even if they didn’t know of anything, it wasn’t odd to call so soon, especially from the owner)

Nothing except his name is Michael D McKee, he lives in Chicago. A surgeon. Their divorce case was reopened earlier in 2025 after being closed since 2017 or 2018.

I understand he is in custody in Chicago.

So now the trash-theories about parties/“drug sales”/BIL can stop, hopefully…

so I assume we will learn why divorce case was reopened. The children were both Spencers.

 

[Knox]

Records say police were able to identify McKee through neighborhood video surveillance. He was reportedly tracked to a vehicle that arrived just before the shootings and left shortly after.

Detectives were able to identify the vehicle and link it to McKee, according to court records. They later located the vehicle in Rockford, Illinois and found evidence that McKee had ownership of the vehicle.

According to the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office website, McKee was booked on Saturday morning. He is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.

[whitelilac]

5 hours , 27 mins from Chicago to Columbus, drive time. Geez, he was intent.

Could there be a chance oldest is with the ex?
