Attorney Reacts: Tepe Murder Case (Columbus, Ohio) | Everything You Need to Know (Full Breakdown)

Published on: 15th January, 2026

An attorney and her paralegal break down the Tepe murder case in Columbus, Ohio from start to finish—covering the 911 calls, the wellness check/body-cam issues, the person-of-interest video, and what’s publicly known about the arrest of Michael McKee (Monique Tepe’s ex-husband). We also explain key legal concepts like probable cause, why investigators may keep details sealed to protect a fair trial, and why headlines about “incompatibility” in divorce filings often misunderstand what it means legally.

If you’re new to the case or you’ve been following every update, this is a clear timeline + legal lens discussion with reactions, questions, and what to watch for as the case moves forward.
