I understand your good point.
I posted earlier that you could hear there was some confusion. No idea how that happened? Maybe the address was reported wrong? We will find out soon enough. It sheds some light on why the officer didnt see the bodies.
I agree, it bolsters the random/stranger theory.
What surprised me about this call is the 911 operator asking her if she asked the person what they wanted or why they were there. this was 2:30am when most people are sleeping and nobody would be coming to help so that is why she calls the police, who could safely come investigate. It sounded like the person calling was scared and whispering. WHY would she ask the person she was fearful of outside what they wanted? Now that person knows she is inside. It seems very unsafe for her to ask that. IMO“Now they’re smashing on my door. I think they’re trying to get in. They’re banging on my doors,” the woman told 911 dispatchers.
This was minutes from the Tepe's, December 19, at around 2:30 am.

An area with a History of Violence, despite transitioning.
I've often maintained there is a higher risk in this "upcoming" gentrified area that many dismiss. Yes, living in the city has crime risks but people seem to gloss over the murders in this small area (Weinland Park) over the past few years, the recent string of burglaries and the park right down the street that interviewed neighbors still say has plenty of drug activity (and was where an 8 year old was shot in 2022). Often people let their guard down in an "transitioning area" forgetting that many of those past connections are still there. One of the Tepe's interviewed neighbors said he "hears gunshots all the time", The quote was used by neighbor Chris Micciche to illustrate the prevalent violence in the neighborhood, but he also stressed that he heard "nothing that night or the morning of" the specific incident involving the Tepes. Also there is local resentment to "gentrification" and a divide between the have and have nots.

Yes, I agree with you that Spencer would be more of a threat than Monique.
No way would I say anything either. It’s an odd thing the operator said this.
It's a victim friendly forum so I have to watch my tongue but I personally don't believe this was a random attack. I don't even entertain the idea, if I'm wrong though, I'll eat crow.
In my mind, an attack like this will somehow lead back to:There's been a lot of crime within walking distance of the Tepe's home within the last few years, including murders. There's been a string of burglaries in the area recently. The park down the street is know for drug activity (confirmed by neighbors quotes) and an 8 year old was shot there while the Tepe's were living there (imagine, they were raising their young daughter at the time. Oh, yeah an 8 year old was shot at the park). A neighbor interviewed says he "hears gun shots all the time". I listed a more comprehensive write up of all this with links 2 pages back. So yes a random crime is very much on the radar IMO. I still don't get the glossing over of these factual crimes in this small area which indicate a higher probability of such incidents.
Interesting, if you don’t mind, can you share what makes you think this?
Though I agree with you that placing a 911 call simply because somebody failed to show up for work is odd in the general sense, this particular person was a medical doctor with scheduled patients. Thus, his failure to show up was more than just "not in his character".

so they didn't even send an officer to canvass the area after the person had been banging on the woman's door for half an hour??? i thought it was pretty standard procedure to send an officer out for stuff like that? i don't think i've EVER heard of 911 being like oh they left? oh ok case closed *shrug*
Also interesting that this incident was another weekday night (late Thursday into Friday). To me that makes it marginally more likely the two incidents are connected than if the prior incident had happened on late Friday or Saturday night, when there are more drunk bar-goers around
I deleted the post because in an earlier article I read it didn't contain the audio from the dispatcher and the article just said that "it stopped (banging) at 2:44 am.
you nailed it. there is a reason the community doesn’t trust CPD, but if this is related, then it’s gloves off. i’ll reserve my rage for confirmation, but i don’t often believe in coincidences when it comes to murder
