Court documents and service records reveal extensive and ultimately unsuccessful efforts to locate and serve Michael McKee, the man accused in the murders of Spencer and Monique Tepe, raising new questions about his whereabouts as multiple legal proceedings continue.
According to a sworn Declaration of Due Diligence filed in Clark County, Nevada, licensed process servers made repeated attempts over several weeks to personally serve McKee with legal papers tied to civil litigation. Those efforts included numerous visits to his last known residential addresses in Las Vegas, attempts at different times of day, and conversations with occupants and neighbors. In each instance, no contact with McKee was made, and individuals at the properties stated he did not live there or had disappeared.
The declaration details additional investigative steps taken to locate McKee, including searches of Clark County tax records, voter registration databases, recorder’s office filings, online public records, social media platforms, and professional licensing systems. Records reviewed showed McKee’s Nevada medical license expired in June 2025. Multiple phone numbers associated with him were also called, resulting in disconnected lines, fax tones, or no response.
Despite these extensive efforts, service could not be completed.
Separately, in a federal civil rights lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, the court acknowledged that a formal suggestion of death had been filed for Michael McKee. The court set a deadline for a motion to substitute a legal representative. When no substitution was filed, the court indicated McKee was subject to dismissal from the case.
