The grieving family of the Ohio mother and her dentist husband, who were gunned down in their home in late December, said they “all expected” her ex-husband’s arrest, but were mum throughout the probe so they wouldn’t “compromise the investigation,” according to a report.
Monique Tepe, 39, and her husband Spencer, 37, were shot dead sometime between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. Dec. 30 in the upstairs of their residence — as their two children and goldendoodle remained unharmed inside, cops said.
Spencer, a dentist, was found with multiple gunshot wounds, and Monique suffered at least one shot to the chest, according to police records.
Michael David McKee, a 39-year-old doctor from Chicago and Monique’s ex-husband, was arrested in connection with the couple’s murder on Saturday.
The next day, the couple’s friends and extended family hosted a gathering, where one anonymous relative decided to speak out on McKee’s long-awaited arrest.
“It was absolutely not a shock to anybody, we had all expected it, but we weren’t saying that, because we didn’t want to compromise the investigation,” the relative told the Daily Mail.
“We are all breathing a bit of a sigh of relief, because they got him.”
The unidentified relative said that, as far as they knew, Monique and Spencer hadn’t noted any issues they were having with McKee in the weeks leading up to their deaths.
McKee and Monique divorced after their short-lived marriage in May 2017. Records indicate the divorce was amicable, according to the Columbus Dispatch.
Almost a week after the Tepes were killed, police released eerie surveillance footage showing a “person of interest” walking down an alley near the couple’s home in the early hours on the day of the deadly shooting.
Family members originally dismissed the video and noted the person could just be “somebody walking home drunk from a bar.”
Columbus investigators said they tracked a vehicle that arrived in the Weinland Park neighborhood, where the couple lived before the double homicide, and later left for Rockford, Illinois. They identified McKee as the owner of the car, the outlet reported.
Public records show McKee completed medical school at Ohio State University and holds medical licenses in Illinois and California. Since 2020, he’s hopped between different states, including Virginia, where he and Monique used to live.He worked as a vascular surgeon at a practice in the Rockford area, where his vehicle was found, the outlet reported.
Police have yet to identify a motive for the grisly murders. McKee is behind bars in Illinois, but will eventually be extradited to Ohio. He is scheduled to appear in court on Monday
