A man accused of killing his ex-wife and her husband in Ohio is facing upgraded murder charges ahead of his extradition hearing on Monday.
Michael David McKee, 39, is now facing two charges of premeditated aggravated murder, according to Franklin County court records. Mckee was arrested in Illinois on Saturday in connection to the deaths of his ex-wife, Monique Tepe, 39, and her husband, Spencer Tepe, 37, in Columbus, Ohio.
The Tepes were found dead in their home on Dec. 30 from apparent gunshot wounds, according to a police report. The county coroner’s report said their cause of death appears to be a homicide, but cautioned that the case was not yet finalized.
Their two young children were found in the home unharmed.
McKee and Monique Tepe divorced in 2017 after two years of marriage. Investigators have not yet identified a motive in the attack.
Monique Tepe and her husband are believed to have been killed between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. on the morning of Dec. 30. They were found later that day, after friends and co-workers were concerned that Spencer Tepe, a dentist, had not shown up to work. Around 10 a.m., a man called 911 and said he could see a body and blood in the home.
Spencer Tepe’s brother-in-law, Rob Misleh, said in a statement to NBC News last week that while McKee’s arrest represents “an important step toward justice” for the slain couple, nothing can undo the loss.
“Monique and Spencer remain at the center of our hearts, and we carry forward their love as we surround and protect the two children they leave behind,” Misleh said. “We will continue to honor their lives and the light they brought into this world.”
