Summary
A shocking arrest has finally been made in the brutal murders of an Ohio dentist and his wife, and the suspect police have charged is someone disturbingly close to home: Monique Tepe's surgeon ex-husband, Dr. Michael McKee. We also examine newly surfaced police body camera footage from the early moments of the investigation and walk through the full 911 call tied to the discovery of the bodies, details that add chilling context to what investigators encountered inside the home. From court records and charging documents to what police are still not saying publicly, this is a full deep dive into a case that has now shifted from mystery to prosecution.
