BREAKING: A tearful 911 call had previously reported a domestic dispute at the home of an Ohio dentist and his wife — months before they were found dead. Authorities are now working to clarify the truth, having uncovered the first pieces of evidenc

A woman called 911 to report what dispatchers described as a “domestic dispute” at the home of a beloved Ohio dentist and his wife months before the couple was found shot dead, according to a report.

Spencer Tepe, 37, and his wife, Monique, 39, were shot dead sometime between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. on Dec. 30 in the upstairs of their residence — as their two children and dog remained unharmed inside, cops said.

An unknown woman called 911 around 2:45 a.m. on April 15 at the same Weinland Park address where the Tepe family lived, according to dispatch audio obtained by Fox News Digital.

The woman hung up while calling authorities, prompting an operator to call her back to make sure she no longer needed help, the audio clip showed.

“Hi, this is 911. We just got a hang-up call. Is everything OK?” the operator asked the woman.

The woman, who cried throughout the call, continually told the dispatcher she was “OK” and “just emotional,” through sniffles.

“Well, can I ask what had you called 911 in the first place?” the operator questioned.

“Because me and my man got into it, but I’m OK, I promise,” she responded.

“Did anything ever get physical?” the operator asked, to which the woman replied “No” and clarified that nobody had hit each other.

A dispatcher at the Columbus Emergency Communications Center coded the call as a “domestic dispute,” and wrote that assistance was “no longer needed,” the outlet reported.

The dispatcher logs did not reveal the woman’s identity.

Tepe, who worked at the Athens Dental Depot, was found with multiple gunshot wounds, and Monique suffered at least one shot to the chest, according to police records.

The Tepes were found dead after coworkers grew concerned when Spencer didn’t show up for work on the morning of Dec. 30.

There were no obvious signs of forced entry, and no gun was discovered at the scene, police said, adding that they do not believe the deaths were a result of a murder-suicide

Frantic 911 call audio obtained by the outlet captured friends and coworkers calling authorities after going to the Tepe residence to conduct their own wellness check — discovering a bloodied body and the sound of children inside.

The Tepe’s children, a 4-year-old girl and a 1-year-old boy, and their goldendoodle dog were unharmed and have been taken into the care of family members.

Rob Misleh, Spencer’s brother-in-law, said that the slain couple’s children are “in loving hands” and “unaware” of the loss.

“We have had them for the past couple of days … they were just as happy and, unfortunately, unaware as they ever could be,” Misleh told NewsNation’s Banfield.

Misleh added that the family is struggling with how to break the news to the eldest daughter that her parents are gone.

“We just don’t know how to do that,” Misleh said. “I’m sure she’s wondering when is she gonna see her mommy and daddy again,” he told the outlet.

The Columbus Police Department released an eerie video on Monday of a “person of interest” in the double-homicide who was spotted wandering around an alley near the Tepe’s home in light pants and a dark, hooded coat.

Misleh, however, poured cold water on the importance of the figure.

“I do think, you know, [it’s a] suspicious-looking person there. It also very well could be … somebody walking home drunk from a bar,” Misleh told NewsNation.

Authorities have been tight-lipped about a possible motive in the tragic murders as the investigation remains ongoing.
