1:01:32Now PlayingNew court documents reveal chilling allegations of forced sex, strangulation, stalking, and explicit death threats in the Ohio double murder of Spencer Tepe and Monique Tepe. Investigators say the details point to a calculated and deeply personal killing.In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down explosive court filings in the Columbus, Ohio, murders of Dr. Spencer Tepe and his wife, Monique Tepe, who were found shot to death inside their home on December 30, 2025. According to new court filings, Monique Tepe told friends and family that her ex-husband, Dr. Michael McKee, had been abusive, had threatened to kill her, and claimed he could find her anywhere. The filings include allegations of forced sexual acts and strangulation, along with surveillance evidence showing a vehicle allegedly tied to Michael McKee arriving just before the murders and leaving shortly after. Investigators also noted an earlier video of a suspect entering the Tepe property weeks before the killings while the couple was away. Court records state that McKee’s phone was left at his workplace in Rockford, Illinois while the murders occurred, raising serious questions about premeditation and planning.
