911 call at Ohio dentist's home reported 'domestic dispute' months before he and wife found shot dead: records

Police released footage of a person of interest near the couple’s home during the estimated time of the homicide; a GoFundMe raised over $150,000 for their two young children.

  • On Dec. 30, Columbus Police responded to the Tepes' home and found Spencer Tepe, 37, and Monique Tepe, 39, dead from apparent gunshot wounds around 10 a.m.
  • Months earlier, a 911 call on April 15 from the same address recorded a reported `domestic dispute` when the unnamed female 911 caller told Columbus Emergency Communications Center dispatchers `me and my man got into it` but later said assistance was no longer needed.
  • Police released surveillance footage showing a person of interest walking in an alley near the Weinland Park home between 2:00 and 5:00 a.m., with no signs of forced entry or weapon found.
  • Two young children were found inside the home unharmed, the Franklin County Coroner's Office said reports `will be completed within a few weeks` and a GoFundMe page has raised more than $160,000.
  • Community and coworkers, who grew worried when Spencer missed work, are asking anyone with information to contact police as Columbus police investigators continue the homicide inquiry.
