Months prior to the tragic deaths of Monique and Spencer Tepe in their home, a mysterious woman contacted emergency services, adding a layer of mystery to the case. The couple, aged 39 and 37, were found dead in what authorities are treating as a double murder. Spencer had suffered multiple gunshot wounds, while Monique had been shot in the chest.
The alarm was raised when Spencer, a dentist, failed to show up for work, which was considered unusual behavior. Concerned colleagues visited the Tepe residence and discovered their children in distress but physically unharmed.
A chilling phone call to emergency services from the Tepe residence months earlier added to the intrigue. The caller reported a “domestic dispute” but disconnected the call abruptly. Despite reassurances that she was fine, the call raised suspicions due to the emotional tone of the caller.
Family members, including Monique’s brother-in-law, expressed doubts about the authenticity of the call, believing it did not match Monique’s voice. Authorities labeled the call as a “domestic dispute” and concluded that no further assistance was required.
Investigations have ruled out a murder-suicide scenario and found no signs of forced entry or a weapon at the crime scene. Police have released a video of a person of interest in the case. Monique and Spencer, married in 2021, were described as exceptional individuals filled with love and joy by family members.
Law enforcement has initiated a murder investigation, awaiting coroner’s reports for further insights. The family is determined to seek justice for the tragic loss of Monique and Spencer Tepe.
