Recently released video footage captures the initial moments of a surgeon’s incarceration, following serious allegations that he murdered his ex-wife and her spouse.

Michael McKee, aged 39, was processed at the Franklin County Corrections Center after being charged with the deaths of Monique Tempe, also 39, and her 37-year-old husband, Dr. Spencer Tepe.

Authorities allege that McKee fatally shot the couple in their Ohio residence during the early morning hours of December 30. He was apprehended on January 10 in Rockford, Illinois, and subsequently extradited to Ohio to face charges.

Footage obtained by Fox News reveals McKee’s demeanor as he navigates the booking process, appearing nonchalant with his hands tucked in his jacket pockets.

During the booking, McKee, clad in a blue t-shirt and red shorts, was subjected to a standard pat-down by officers. He briefly placed his hands on a counter, opened his mouth as instructed, and adjusted his eyeglasses.

After receiving standard-issue tan sliders from the facility, McKee remained composed, engaging in conversation with the officers throughout the process.

The surgeon was then escorted back out of the room wearing a blank expression and taken into custody. 

He faces four charges of aggravated murder and an additional charge of aggravated burglary in Franklin County. 

McKee pleaded not guilty to all charges against him.

Investigators said McKee was spotted outside his ex-wife’s home in Weinland Park, a neighborhood outside of downtown Columbus, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by the Columbus Dispatch. 

Surveillance camera footage allegedly showed the surgeon outside his ex-wife’s home on December 6, about three weeks before the Tepes were found fatally shot. 

The couple was away that weekend to attend a Big Ten Championship Game in Indiana. 

McKee had allegedly been driving a silver SUV, which investigators spotted multiple times near his ex-wife’s home before she was murdered. 

The affidavit noted that the SUV had a sticker on the window with a stolen Ohio license plate. The vehicle’s registration was also allegedly linked to past addresses McKee had lived at and a hospital where he used to work. 

Investigators discovered that McKee’s phone had no activity from December 29 until after noon on December 30, according to the affidavit. 

Law enforcement previously said that they believed the couple was killed just before 4am. Their bodies were found around six hours later.

Monique was found with a gunshot wound to her chest, and Spencer suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

Their one-year-old son, four-year-old daughter, and dog were found in the home unharmed. 

Columbus Police Chief Elaine Bryant said after McKee’s arrest that he had a gun with him when he was detained. 

‘Multiple weapons were taken from the property of McKee, and there is a preliminary link to one of the weapons that ties it to the homicides,’ the police chief said at a press conference.

‘What we can say, this was a targeted attack. This was a domestic violence-related attack, as we know McKee is the ex-husband of Monique Tepe.’

‘We believe at this point we have the person responsible for the murders of Monique and Spencer Tepe, and that person is Michael McKee,’ Bryant added.

McKee and Monique were briefly married and divorced in 2015. In her complaint for divorce, Monique said she was ‘incompatible’ with her then-husband, according to court records previously seen by the Daily Mail. 

Ahead of a memorial service for the couple, a relative told the Daily Mail that McKee’s arrest was ‘absolutely not a shock’ to the family and they had been expecting it. 

‘We are all breathing a bit of a sigh of relief, because they got him,’ they added. 

McKee remains in custody in Franklin County and is being held without bond.
