Ex-Husband Waives Extradition as Aggravated Murder Charges Filed in Columbus Double Killing

Police say a traced vehicle captured on neighborhood cameras ties Michael McKee to the Dec. 30 shootings.

Overview

  • Franklin County upgraded the case to two counts of premeditated aggravated murder after McKee’s arrest in Illinois.
  • McKee waived his right to an extradition hearing in Winnebago County, clearing his transfer to Ohio to face the upgraded charges.
  • Investigators say a vehicle seen arriving before the killings and leaving shortly after was later found in Rockford and linked to McKee.
  • Spencer and Monique Tepe were found shot upstairs in their Columbus home, with no signs of forced entry, no weapon recovered, and their two young children unharmed.
  • Authorities have not announced a motive, and autopsy, toxicology, and other forensic testing remain underway.
