Summary
- Doctor accused of breaking into ex-wife's home weeks prior.
- Allegedly drove 900 miles in under 17 hours for murders.
- Weapons found on property potentially match murder weapon.

A surgeon, Michael McKee, 39, stands accused of murdering his ex-wife, Monique, and her husband, Spencer Tepe, on December 30, 2025. Authorities allege McKee broke into the Tepe residence in Columbus, Ohio, weeks prior to the killings, on December 6, 2025. Surveillance footage reportedly shows him on the property while the couple was away, attending a football game in Indiana.
Investigators detailed McKee's alleged actions, including a nearly 900-mile round trip from Rockford, Illinois, to Columbus, Ohio, completed in less than 17 hours around the time of the murders. This travel occurred while McKee was not scheduled to work at his hospital. He was arrested on January 10, 2026, after being linked to a vehicle near the crime scene. A search of his property allegedly uncovered several weapons, one of which is similar to the suspected murder weapon.
