Police just connected the dots. Sixteen days after Spencer and Monique Tepe were found dead in their Columbus home, investigators announced they've recovered multiple firearms from Dr. Michael McKee's property—and one of those weapons has a preliminary ballistic match to the murder scene through NIBIN, the federal database that links bullets to guns across the country.

McKee allegedly drove from Illinois to Ohio to kill his ex-wife Monique and her husband Spencer while their two young children slept feet away. Columbus Police Chief Elaine Bryant called it what it was: a targeted domestic violence attack. The charges have been upgraded to premeditated aggravated murder—death penalty eligible. Attorney Eric Faddis breaks down what "prior calculation and design" requires prosecutors to prove, and why this upgrade signals investigators may know more than they've revealed.

The family broke their silence too. Rob Misleh, Spencer's brother-in-law, appeared on Good Morning America and described eight years of watching Monique try to escape McKee's abuse. "She just had to get away from him." He said the family knew the torment she endured. They spent years looking over their shoulders. Now two children are orphans and the threat the family always feared has been confirmed.

McKee was arrested at a Chick-fil-A in Rockford, Illinois on January 10th. He waived extradition but remains in Illinois—transfer to Ohio reportedly won't happen by week's end. His attorney indicated he'll plead not guilty. Chief Bryant says police are withholding evidence details to protect the prosecution's case.

Eric Faddis examines the legal road ahead: what defense strategies exist against ballistics evidence, surveillance footage, and vehicle records placing McKee at the scene. Ohio has an execution moratorium, but McKee could still receive a death sentence. Over 1,000 mourners said goodbye to Spencer and Monique. The evidence keeps building.
