COLUMBUS, Ohio — Michael McKee, 39, was booked into jail Saturday and charged with two counts of murder in connection with the deaths of Monique and Spencer Tepe.
Investigators on Monday released video showing a person walking in an alley near the couple’s home in Weinland Park — the first piece of digital evidence made public in the case.
Columbus police chief Elaine Bryant addressed the footage on Friday, saying, “We released a video of a person of interest, at least a person who we are looking for that we know was in the area at the time.”
According to investigative records, the person seen in the alley is believed to be McKee. Detectives say the video links him to a car that arrived shortly before the shooting and left moments afterward.
Police later located the vehicle in Rockford, Illinois, where officers confirmed McKee was the registered owner. Records also show McKee holds a medical license in Illinois.
Divorce filings indicate Monique Tepe and Michael McKee ended their marriage nearly nine years ago, in June 2017.
McKee is expected to appear in a Winnebago County courtroom on Monday.d 10 a.m. in the 1400 block of North 4th Street after co-workers and friends reported they had not heard from the couple. Officers later found Spencer and Monique dead inside the residence.
Several co-workers of Spencer, a dentist who practiced at a clinic in Athens, called 911 after he failed to show up for work and could not be reached. Callers told dispatchers the lack of contact was out of character and raised concerns that something may have happened to the family.
According to 911 calls released by authorities, coworkers reported being unable to reach either Spencer or Monique and said the situation was becoming increasingly concerning.
Police initially checked the home but did not see anything suspicious. Additional 911 calls were made as coworkers and friends gathered at the house, reporting they could hear children inside but were unable to get anyone to answer the door.
A friend later gained entry to the home and found Spencer’s body. Police said both Spencer and Monique had been shot.
