Description: Monique Tepe left her first husband after just seven months of marriage. She moved back to Ohio. She rebuilt her life. She married a dentist named Spencer, had two children, and said in her wedding vows: "I had quite a journey to get to you. Countless bad Bumble dates, wrong relationships, and waterfalls of tears."Eight years later, according to police, that first husband — Dr. Michael McKee, a vascular surgeon — allegedly drove from Illinois to Columbus and shot both Monique and Spencer dead in their home at 3:52 in the morning. Their children, ages 4 and 1, were found alive in the house.The family wasn't shocked. They told reporters they'd suspected McKee all along. Spencer's brother-in-law called McKee "emotionally abusive." Sources say Monique's parents helped her escape Virginia where she'd been living with him.New court records reveal activity on their 2017 divorce case in June 2025 — six months before the murders. What brought them back to court after eight years of silence? We don't know yet. But investigators and experts are building a profile of a man who never let go.McKee maintains his innocence and will plead not guilty. He faces two counts of aggravated murder — death penalty eligible in Ohio.This is the full breakdown: the relationship, the divorce, the eight-year gap that wasn't really a gap, and the night everything ended.#HiddenKillers #TeepeMurders #MichaelMcKee #SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #TrueCrimePodcast #ColumbusOhio #DomesticAbuse #GrievanceCollector #DeathPenaltyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
