OH - Spencer and Monique Tepe found shot to death at home 2 children unharmed, Columbus, 30 December 2025

That would presumably yes be friends/coworkers or someone would have been arrested.

When it was said, I have 3 men inside, it makes me think it’s 3 LE officers, but I could be wrong.

I dont think so, it’s very confusing b/c on the plunder video that was posted yesterday at 10:06 into the video, they also talk about a wrong address, Seems like the audio comes from the dispatch so unsure if that call pertains to the correct address, ( but he does also say he has a dbl so IDK)
It’s not clear how anyone got in.
you can listen for yourself,

Thank you

I wasn’t sure if the 3 males inside were LE or coworkers/friends? Has it been confirmed?

The 3 males were most likely coworkers or friends. The reason is because on the radio, cops don’t refer to other cops with descriptors, such as males. They use a cop’s number that they’re assigned. The cop’s number is also on their cruiser. That’s their identifying number.

For example, if the 3 males in the house doing the check were cops and their numbers were 350, 352 and 354, the cop on the radio would have said something like this: There was a 7A on the back door. I have 350, 352 and 354 inside. They were doing a check….

I hope that makes sense.

Curious to know which if all of the shots on husband were in fatal areas or if they were to take him down. Anger shots or survival shots (survival is a weird word here but all I’ve got to explain what I mean)

I think all we know about is the ring camera on their front door and the police street camera outside the front of their house on the other side of the street at the corner.

I think there are also cameras on the white house and garage next door to them on the corner of 4th and 8th St. They look like cameras to me, but I guess they could also be lights.

Good find!

Those look like cameras to me. Floodlights don't generally have a black face like that. But I am not 100% sure.

''Columbus police have provided minimal information publicly about the investigation into the Tepes' deaths. Among the information that has not yet been released:

• What the potential motive for the killings is, and whether one of the Tepes was the primary intended target
• Whether the Columbus city crime cameras near the Tepe home captured any useful footage
• Why the window of time police were seeking video from narrowed to between 2 and 5 a.m.
• If any suspects have been identified, and if any potential suspects have been ruled out through the investigation''

IMO there is no reason why friends would still be at Spencer and Monique's house at 2am on a weekday. Whoever entered the house in the middle of the night, didn't have good intentions.

This People Magazine article mentions the concerned friend/coworkers were at the residence, but were not able to get inside.

That was said in the second to last call. I understood that they were in the house by the third call some 5 minutes later.

I wonder if the “nothing was taken” belief comes from things that would be of obvious value still being in the home. Just an example but if a wallet and purse with cash are sitting in plain sight on the counter and a diamond wedding ring is on the sink, that would make robbery an unlikely motive since anyone could grab those items with next to zero time and effort spent.

agree. I’d imagine they are presently doing digital forensics evaluations of phones, bank accounts, crypto wallets, etc.

Thank you for explaining that, it’s helpful.

I’ve read in several publications that Spencer was a “Big Brother” and involved with Big Brothers, Big Sisters.

“While national guidelines often cite 7-14 at enrollment, specific Ohio branches like West Central Ohio start at age 6, and others serve youth up to age 18, focusing on kids facing adversity.”

Maybe it was a robbery gone wrong or something personal through someone in this group, maybe even through a third party who has been made aware of this dentist. When I think of dentist, I think “rich” (even though I am aware of them having student loans etc).

Would a brother or sister from this organisation have access to his home? Would he have helped one that turned up randomly to his house needing help? Has he been threatened by one or was one having issues with one that his colleagues were aware of? Has one that was close to him gone off the rails as he has become older and targeted him for drugs or money? Is one of them he once knew a gang prospect or a drug addict now?

Please keep in mind, in my country, a lot of murders and assaults and crimes are carried out by 11 - 15 year olds (it’s a nationwide pandemic of serious youth crime). I cannot even imagine the carnage and issues if my country wasn’t so strict with gun laws.

This connection to Big Brother/Big Sister is something to be considered.
I have personal knowledge of something nepharious happening from a third person connection to such a Big Brother relationship with my neighbor where I previously lived. moo moo
Only stating this to just confirm that it is somehthing that should be considered, and my guess is that it is.

btw...WHERE did you see Spencer's relationship with Big Brother?? I haven't caught that, but would appreciate reading it somewhere...

hmmm. helpful for view of the alley and environment. tnx

A geofence too, which is aided by the narrowed murder window.

I saw this too, and was able to get the same results as you, but now I cannot recreate it. Now I can't get it to show any on the 29th, or individual time stamps on the 29th, everything is the 30th and onward.

I saw a post on X claiming data for Monique, but data for Spencer was blocked, so I went and did my own inquest. I found what you found, and was startled. I ALSO saw that the searches on the 29th for Monique were Ohio ONLY, but for Spencer it included PA, VI, and I believe MI as well as Ohio, I think there was even WA in the mix. I found that interesting too.

I read that the number represents a relative percentage compared to the 100% peak viewing time, if I understand it correctly; it is NOT the absolute number of people searching. I find this data VERY interesting, that there is little to no interest until just hours before the murders?

I'm just throwing this out there. Say I'm looking for a dentist. Spencer Tepe pops up for several locations. I, personally, check all of those locations individually to see if it's the same person and what the reviews are in each place. So I can write off searches on Spencer in my mind.

The only way I can write off a search on Monique is if she had her own website or YouTube or Facebook and someone was trying to find it. Any other thoughts?

In truth, I look up random people all the time, but I can't say they end up murdered.

It’s just mindboggling to me how tight everything is!

I’m thinking LE has tons of video, and aren’t talking because they are on to something. I certainly hope so.

 

[sunflowermomma]

Did Spencer do any pro bono/volunteer dental work?
