Summary
A grand jury has returned sweeping new charges in the murders of Spencer Tepe and Monique Tepe, indicting Monique’s ex-husband, Illinois vascular surgeon Michael McKee, on four counts of aggravated murder and an additional burglary charge.

In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down what the indictment reveals, why the aggravated murder charges matter, and how this case against a high-achieving surgeon and former spouse is rapidly escalating.
