Couple found shot to death in Columbus, young kids and dog in home unharmed

I think he was MAGA sicko. Misogynistic deplorable with a gun.

Yes to this. Very similar scenario also in high tech

Surgeon guy probably has mental health issues or is an abuser, addict etc. He would’ve known that he would be a prime suspect and be caught fairly easily- and didn’t care (or was entirely out of his mind). As someone else said, he might have intended to kill himself as well and then couldn’t go through with it.

At least he didn’t harm the kids or the dog.

I find it somewhat unusual in that 10 years had passed since the divorce, the surgeon was living in an entirely different city but apparently had not remarried or moved on, and there were no child custody or alimony issues.

+1 it is unusual that he couldn’t get over their marriage/divorce in the last 10 years.

Makes me assume there’s more to it, ex. the two men knew each other from college.

No, she met the dentist online.

As in an actual dating app or just reconnected on Facebook? How do you know that?

He was 2 years younger than she, so doubt they were reconnecting.

I met my two-years-younger DH in college, the old fashioned way (friend’s sibling.) It happens.

What does it matter?

Killing her AND the new husband makes it seem personal on some level with the new spouse, doesn’t it? But they didn’t have kids, so it wasn’t like he had any on-going interaction with the new spouse, right. And he didn’t harm their kids.

Or maybe the guy just lost his freaking mind tens years after the divorce. Maybe even new mediation / SSRI with dangerous side effects.

The question “what does it matter” was to a poster who was questioning whether they met on a dating app or Facebook. Not sure what compelled you to write all this.

Curious if the deceased wife’s family has made any comments on the ex DH. There is a story there.

It was reported that they met online -- not sure when. I believe all involved attended Ohio State -- dentist, wife, and surgeon. Her degree was in early childhood education; she worked at a daycare at some point.

Sounds gold digger-ish.

Can you try and not be a hortible person?

Different poster and this has nothing to do with the murder but it does seem that she was looking for men with money and wasn't really anticipating contributing much financially - which is kind of what a gold digger is. Just like when men with no money date rich women and live off of them. You just need to be attractive to pull it off.

What are you talking about??? She was educated and was working at the time of her divorce from husband #1 and marriage to husband #2. If she was a stay at home mom to two kids under five years old, how does that make her any different from any of the many dozens of SAHMs on this website who have an education, prior career and means to self-support but who have chosen to stay home with their kids for their early childhood???

Unbelievably disgusting to call her a gold digger. There are countless threads on this navel gazing website where women discuss their criteria for a husband, with profession and earning potential being primary among the criteria.

+1

Maybe her DH was a labor digger.

I still think his office’s reaction is deeply strange. Who automatically and immediately assumes something horrific happened at their house when a guy isn’t on time for work and orders staff to drive 3 hours round trip to check on him and repeatedly call the police? Of course their intuition was right but what does that reveal? Does it suggest the dentist was sharing with colleagues her ex was being increasingly creepy? Or maybe their picture perfect relationship wasn’t totally drama free?

As someone who is intuitive (and I believe everyone is if they are in touch with their intuition), I really think they all had a bad gut feeling, and as you said, they were right, soooo

It could be as simple as people at their exurban office knew their inner-city neighborhood was sketchy. There is basically literally no day to day violent in most exurbs, so if the dentist was sharing random crime and sketchy incidents happening around their house, colleagues in the exurbs would be really worried about them and where they chose to live.

I don't at all. Its a small office, lots of patients rely on the reliable doctor who does not have a history of ghosting his work. He is not reachable, his emergency contact, the wife, is not reachable, I know the small place where I would would definitely call for a welfare check.

Michael David McKee, 39, is now facing two charges of premeditated aggravated murder, according to Franklin County court records. 

Don't see how it wouldn't be premeditated, as there would have been no reason for him to be there, but but guessing some other evidence suggesting premeditation was discovered.

Merely driving there for several hours late at night is premeditation, isn’t it? Probably at the very least googled their address, put it into his map app.

I’m a dentist and I think the office would call for a welfare check if I were 15 mins late with no notice! What you don’t understand is the office can’t run without us- all operations stop. This would be the case at any office I’ve worked at.

I don’t think a medical professional with appointments just no-shows with no notice. I don’t think my office would notice right away but by the end of the day. if I missed an important meeting they might notice right away.
