Summary
Today we have major developments in the Spencer and Monique Tepe murder case. An affidavit unsealed in Franklin County reveals disturbing new allegations about suspect Michael McKee's behavior in the weeks, months, and years before the December 30th killings.
According to witnesses who spoke with investigators, McKee told Monique he could "kill her at any time," that he would "find her and buy the house right next to her," and that "she will always be his wife"—statements allegedly made during and after their marriage, which ended in divorce in 2017. Witnesses also told investigators that McKee allegedly strangled Monique and forced unwanted sex on her during the marriage.
The affidavit reveals that surveillance captured McKee walking through the Tepes' property on December 7th, 2025, while the couple was in Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship game. Monique reportedly left the game early, upset about something involving her ex-husband. Three weeks later, both she and Spencer were found shot to death in their Weinland Park home.
Investigators tracked McKee's vehicle arriving in Columbus before the murders and leaving afterward. His cell phone showed no activity from December 29th until after noon on December 30th. He was arrested January 10th in Illinois and has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder charges with firearm specifications alleging either an automatic weapon or a silencer.
We break down everything in this unsealed affidavit and what it means for the prosecution's case.
