An Ohio dentist and his wife were found f@tally shot in their home the day before New Years Eve, with their two crying children inside. Spencer Tepe, 37, and his wife, Monique, 39, were found de@d inside their Weiland Park home in Columbus on Tuesday, Dec. 30, following a welfare check from a family friend and Columbus police, local ABC 6 reported. Tepe, who worked at the Athens Dental Depot, was found with multiple gunshot wounds, with Monique suffering at least one shot to the chest, according to police records. There were no obvious signs of forced entry, and no firearm was discovered at the scene, police said, adding that they do not believe the de@ths were a result of a murdr-su!cide. The welfare check was conducted after Tepe failed to show up for work this week, something that his boss, Dr. Mark Valrose, told police was odd given his punctual nature. He is always on time and he would contact us if there was any issues, Valrose told dispatchers. I dont know how else to say this but we are very, very concerned. This is very out of character for him. Several co-workers drove to Tepes home Tuesday morning and insisted a welfare check be conducted after they heard children crying inside.
Around 10 a.m., one of Spencers friends reported seeing the dentists body inside the home near a bed. There is a body inside, Spencers friend told dispatchers. Our friend wasnt answering his phone. We just did a wellness check. We just came here, and he appears dad. Police arrived to confirm the double homicide, with the two young children inside the home without any injuries. The investigation into the Tepes murdrs remains active, with investigators asking anyone with information to contact the Columbus Police Homicide Unit or the Central Ohio Crime Stoppers. The Tepes were married in 2021 and were just one month away from celebrating their fifth anniversary, Moniques brother, Rob Misleh, told the local outlet. A memorial with roses and sunflowers was placed outside the couples Weinland Park home on Wednesday, Dec. 31..
