A recent indictment has been issued in the murder case of Dr. Michael McKee, who is accused of killing his ex-wife and her husband in north Columbus.

McKee and Monique Tepe were previously married in 2015 before divorcing two years later. Despite an attorney stating that McKee plans to plead not guilty, he will remain in custody until his extradition to Columbus.
