    Monique and Spencer Tepe Update: The Case Against Michael McKee Deepens [Current Affairs]

    This update examines the rapidly evolving case surrounding the murders of Monique and Spencer Tepi following the arrest of Michael David McKee. Prosecutors have upgraded the charges to premeditated aggravated murder as family members describe years of emotional abuse and repeated threats that allegedly continued long after the couple’s divorce. The episode reviews the surveillance trail, ballistic evidence, McKee’s arrest in Illinois, and the professional and legal issues that surfaced in the months before the killings. As authorities prepare to transfer McKee to Ohio to face charges that carry the possibility of life without parole or the death penalty, key questions about motive, access, and long-term planning remain unanswered.
