Overview
- Columbus police said multiple weapons were seized from Michael McKee’s property and reported a preliminary ballistics match to one used in the Dec. 30 killings of Monique and Spencer Tepe.
- McKee, a 39-year-old vascular surgeon and Monique Tepe’s ex-husband, is charged with two counts of aggravated murder with premeditation and remains jailed in Illinois.
- He waived extradition and his public defender indicated he intends to plead not guilty, with a document obtained by Fox News noting transport to Ohio is being reset to a tentative Jan. 23 court date.
- Detectives identified McKee as the hooded person seen near the home and tracked a vehicle linked to him arriving before and leaving after the shootings; he was arrested near his medical office in Rockford, roughly 400–450 miles from Columbus.
- Family members describe prior emotional abuse, and a Nevada attorney says McKee evaded service in malpractice litigation using fake addresses, details reported as context while forensic work proceeds.
