A mysterious woman made a puzzling call to emergency services mere months before Monique Tepe and Spencer Tepe were found dead in their home. The tragic incident is being investigated as a double murder, with Spencer having multiple gunshot wounds and Monique shot at least once in the chest.
The alarm was raised when Spencer, a dentist, didn’t show up for work, prompting concerned colleagues to visit their home and discover the distressing scene. The couple’s two children were physically unharmed but in a state of distress, raising more questions about the incident.
Months before the tragedy, a 911 operator received a call reporting a “domestic dispute” from the Tepe residence in Columbus, Ohio. The woman on the call claimed everything was fine after abruptly hanging up, stating she was just emotional.
Despite claims that the altercation was not physical, doubts have been raised about the authenticity of the caller’s identity. Monique’s brother-in-law expressed skepticism, stating that the voice on the call did not match Monique’s or anyone he knew.
The call was labeled as a “domestic dispute” by the emergency communications center, with no further assistance needed. Investigators have ruled out a murder-suicide and are now focusing on a person of interest captured on video near the property.
Family members described Monique and Spencer as loving individuals, with plans to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary soon. Authorities have initiated a murder probe while awaiting coroner’s reports for further investigation.
