Michael McKee, accused of a double homicide, has been extradited to Ohio to face charges in the deaths of his former spouse, Monique Tepe, and her husband, Spencer Tepe.

As reported by ABC 7 Chicago, McKee arrived in Franklin County, Ohio, on Tuesday afternoon. He is currently held at the James A. Karnes Corrections Center, facing four counts of aggravated murder and an additional charge of aggravated burglary.

It is anticipated that McKee will make his initial court appearance in the Franklin Court of Common Pleas later this week.

Authorities allege that McKee used an automatic firearm or silencer to kill the couple inside their Columbus residence on December 30.

According to FOX News Digital, investigators discovered “three 9mm shell casings” at the scene of the crime.

According to The Columbus Dispatch, McKee hired Columbus lawyer Diane Menashe, who “filed her official notice of appearance” on January 22.

Menashe has defended numerous high-profile Franklin County cases, including a former Mount Carmel doctor, who faced over 20 murder counts before his acquittal. She’s also represented people facing death row.

Meanwhile, over a thousand people gathered in Ohio this week to pay their respects to the couple, known for their warm hearts and philanthropy.

“[It was] a crazy amount of people,” Spencer’s sister Madeleine Misleh, said, according to People magazine.

Spencer Tepe’s brother-in-law, Rob Misleh, said the family had been anticipating around “600 to 700” showing up, but it ended up being the largest crowd the Schoedinger Northwest Funeral Home had seen.

“From all accounts it seems like we had over 1,000,” he told People. “The funeral home said it was the largest they had ever seen. The line was out the door.”

Spencer was a beloved dentist and a youth minister who had worked with students for years. Monique, who obtained a degree in early childhood education, who spent time devoted to their two young children, ages 1 and 4.

Both children were physically unharmed during the killings.
