A SURGEON accused of shooting dead his ex-wife and her new husband while their young children were inside the home is said to have made her life a “living hell” throughout their troubled marriage.
Monique Tepe, 39, and her dentist husband Spencer, 37, were discovered dead by police in Columbus, Ohio, on December 30, 2025.

Officers were called to their home in the Weinland Park neighborhood at around 10am after concerned friends and colleagues requested a welfare check, authorities said.
The couple’s two children, aged one and four, were at home at the time but did not witness what happened and are now in the care of family members.
On January 10, Monique’s ex-husband, Michael David McKee, was taken into custody in the Chicago area.
He appeared in court for the first time this week in Winnebago County, Illinois, where he waived extradition to Ohio.
