Description: Michael David McKee knew how to vanish. When a Las Vegas attorney tried to serve him with a malpractice lawsuit, he encountered fake addresses, a fax machine instead of a phone number, and colleagues who had no idea where McKee had gone. "He just disappeared," one told the attorney in October 2025. Two months later, McKee allegedly resurfaced — driving 300 miles to Columbus, Ohio, where prosecutors say he shot and killed his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer in their home.The marriage ended in 2017 after just seven months. But according to family, McKee never accepted it. Monique's brother-in-law says McKee was emotionally abusive and threatened her life during the marriage. Reports indicate he allegedly sent birthday cards signed "Your Husband" after the divorce. Monique remained terrified of him for eight years — even after remarrying, even after building a beautiful life with Spencer and two children.McKee's professional life was unraveling in 2025. His Nevada medical license expired. Malpractice lawsuits were closing in. Meanwhile, Monique had just celebrated her fifth anniversary with Spencer. In her wedding vows, she spoke of "wrong relationships" and a "waterfall of tears" — a clear reference to her past with McKee.Police tracked McKee through surveillance footage and linked a firearm from his Chicago condo to shell casings at the scene. He was arrested at a Chick-fil-A. He faces life without parole if convicted. This is a deep dive into alleged obsession, evasion, and a surgeon who reportedly couldn't let go.#TepeMurders #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #MichaelMcKee #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #DomesticViolence #ColumbusOhio #SurgeonMurder #ObsessiveExJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
