Columbus, OHIO (AP) — An Ohio grand jury has indicted a man in the double homicide of his ex-wife and her husband who were killed in their Columbus home last month.
Court records show a Franklin County grand jury charged Michael David McKee on Jan. 16, with aggravated murder and aggravated burglary while using a firearm suppressor.
McKee, 39, a vascular surgeon who was living in Chicago, is charged in the shooting deaths of 39-year-old Monique Tepe, from whom he was divorced in 2017, and dentist Dr. Spencer Tepe, 37, in their home on Dec. 30.
No attorney for McKee was listed on court documents.
Authorities apprehended McKee in Rockford, Illinois, last weekend. The hospital where he worked — OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center — has said it is cooperating with the investigation. He is currently being held after he waived his right to an extradition hearing Monday. His next hearing in Winnebago County, Illinois, is scheduled for Jan. 23.
Columbus Police Chief Elaine Bryant said in an Associated Press interview Wednesday that authorities now believe McKee was the person seen walking down a dark alley near the Tepes' home in video footage from the night of the murders. His vehicle has also been identified traveling near the house, and a firearm found in his Illinois residence also matched evidence at the scene, she said. Authorities have not disclosed what type of firearm was used in the slaying.
His arrest Saturday attracted national attention, capping off nearly two weeks of speculation surrounding the mysterious killings. No obvious signs of forced entry were found at the Tepes’ home. Police also said no weapon was found there, and murder-suicide was not suspected. Nothing was stolen, and the couple’s two young children and their dog were left unharmed in the home.
Byrant said police are encouraging the public to keep the tips coming. She said emails, phone calls and other messages left with CPD helped them to gather enough evidence to make an arrest.
“We want to thank our community specifically for stepping up, reaching out, giving us the information and being open to sharing that with us," she said. “It has been tremendous.”

DUESSELDORF, Germany (AP) — After an historic Ballon D'Or win and an emotional speech, Harry Kane is heading back to Germany for a “special welcome” at Bayern Munich and a slightly less glamorous cup game.
“Where do I begin? That was an evening I'll never forget,” Kane posted Tuesday after becoming the first English winner of the prize in 25 years and thanking his Bayern and England teammates and well-wishers. “This will live long in the memory.”
Bayern is celebrating its first Ballon D'Or winner in 45 years and it's also the first for any player at a German club since 1996.
“We’re all delighted with Harry Kane’s performance. It’s not just his goals that make him an exceptional footballer, and it’s not just on the pitch that he’s a special character," sporting director Christoph Freund said.
"Harry is a great guy, you very rarely come across someone like him, world-class yet so down-to-earth. Harry has taken the center-forward role to a whole new level — he’s an inspiration, especially for young players. He’s undoubtedly one of the greatest in football history.”
Kane was on his way from London back to Munich for training Tuesday, assistant coach Aaron Danks said.
Bayern has teased a “special welcome” for Kane ahead of Wednesday's German Cup second-round game against second-division Magdeburg. Danks said the England captain would be available to play Wednesday as the club continues its defense of a trophy decided last season by his hat trick in the final.
Bayern has also promised there'll be recognition of his achievement when it faces arch-rival Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga “Klassiker” on Saturday.
Kane is Bayern's fourth Ballon D'Or winner after German greats Franz Beckenbauer, Gerd Müller and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, who was the last winner in 1981.
Robert Lewandowski, then at Bayern, was the runaway favorite for the prize in 2020, when a decision was taken not to award the trophy because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The win comes at an otherwise somber time at the club, with head coach Vincent Kompany undergoing medical treatment after his sudden collapse at training last week, and midfielder Joshua Kimmich on leave after a death in the family.
“You see the extremes that life has to offer," Danks said. "The immense joy Harry experienced yesterday and the moments we’ve had over the past few weeks. It’s important to realize that people are what matter most."
