Podcast: Police Off The Cuff/Real Crime StoriesPublished On: Tue Jan 13 2026
Description: Michael McKee has waived extradition and entered a not-guilty plea — accelerating one of Ohio’s most closely watched double-murder cases. In this livestream, Police Off The Cuff breaks down yesterday’s courtroom appearance, where McKee formally waived extradition and cleared the way to be transferred back to Ohio to face charges in the murders of Spencer and Monique Tepe. What does waiving extradition really mean? Why do defendants often enter a not-guilty plea at this stage? And what happens next as prosecutors prepare their case? We analyze the legal significance of the extradition waiver, the expected timeline for prosecution, and the evidence investigators are believed to be relying on, including relationship history, access, motive, and post-crime behavior. We also examine why prosecutors may view this as a targeted, personal crime rather than a random act, and how motive could become central at trial. As the case moves from arrest to prosecution, we discuss: What the extradition waiver signals legally Why a not-guilty plea is procedural — and what it preserves How prosecutors are expected to frame motive and intent Possible charges, bond considerations, and next court steps What this means for the families — and for justice moving forward This is a fact-based, law-enforcement perspective on a developing homicide prosecution — no rumors, no speculation, just analysis grounded in investigative and courtroom reality.
