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

Extradition is cleared, setting up his transfer to Franklin County for prosecution.

Overview

  • Michael David McKee, 39, was arrested in Rockford, Illinois, on Jan. 10 and now faces two counts of premeditated aggravated murder, according to Franklin County records.
  • At a Winnebago County hearing Monday, McKee waived extradition to Ohio, and his attorney said he plans to plead not guilty.
  • Investigators say neighborhood surveillance and a car that arrived before and left after the shootings were traced to McKee in Illinois.
  • Police reported no signs of forced entry and no firearm recovered at the Columbus home; autopsy and toxicology results are pending, and the couple’s two young children were found unharmed and are with family.
  • McKee is a vascular surgeon licensed in Illinois and California, and authorities have not identified a motive in the Dec. 30 killings of Monique and Spencer Tepe.
