Summary
Timestamp to skip intro: (5:35)
On December 30, 2025, colleagues of dentist Dr Spencer Tepe became concerned when he did not show up to work as scheduled. They called in a welfare check and went to the Tepe’s home in Columbus, Ohio to find out what was going on.
What awaited them was a gruesome scene. Spencer (37) and his wife Monique (39) were found dead inside the home. Reports indicate that the couple had been shot. Their two young children were found inside the home, unharmed and were said to be screaming.
On January 10, authorities announced that Monique’s ex-husband, surgeon Michael McKee, had been arrested and charged with two counts of murder. Monique and Michael had apparently only been married for 7 months many years ago, and their divorce was finalized in 2017.

| 0:54.9 | take the longest time to get through and then it feels like the rest of the year flies by. |
| 0:59.2 | I feel like people always say February too because everyone expects February to be slower. |
| 1:03.9 | Sorry, it should be faster because it's a shorter month, but it seems like it drags forever. |

| 1:33.4 | yet, so. Infant is birth up to 12 months. Okay. So technically infant, even though it sounds little. |
| 1:40.9 | Newborn is two to three months. I figure like once they're about one-ish and they start walking. |
| 1:45.1 | Then they're like time. |
| 1:45.7 | I know it varies. |
