The mystery caller who tearfully reported a “domestic dispute” at an Ohio dentist’s home months before he and his wife were found shot dead was a party guest who fought with her own partner, a family member said.
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. Their two children and family dog were also inside, but unharmed, police said.
In April, eight months before the couple was killed, an unknown woman called 911 and reported a “domestic dispute” at the same Weinland Park address.
Tepe’s brother-in-law, Rob Misleh, confirmed on the “Surviving the Survivor” podcast that the woman who made the call was a random party guest — not Monique, as some speculated, even though the dispatch logs didn’t disclose the caller’s identity.
Misleh told the podcast hosts that the couple “had people over a lot” and admitted that some of the parties they held could get a little out of hand, especially when “people get a little too drunk.”
“Somebody, the woman [who made the call] had just a little bit of a freak-out, for lack of a better term. Maybe, you know, was having some mental health issues at the time. But she called the cops from her cellphone,” he explained.
Misleh reiterated that the caller “was at this party and she just had kind of a lapse psychologically.”
The dispatch audio, obtained by Fox News Digital, captured a tearful woman’s choked plea to authorities after she “got into it” with her partner. She repeatedly assured the dispatcher that she was “OK” and “just emotional,” as she continued to cry.
“Well, can I ask what had you called 911 in the first place?” the operator asked.
“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 was injured.
The Columbus Emergency Communications Center classified the case as a “domestic dispute” and noted that assistance was “no longer needed” after they reconnected with the distressed caller.
Last Tuesday, the Tepes’ bodies were discovered after coworkers grew concerned and dropped by their home to do “a wellness check.” There, they found their friends’ bloodied corpses — and the couple’s 4-year-old daughter, 1-year-old son, and goldendoodle dog — who were all unharmed — in a room nearby.
The children and dog were remanded into the care of family members. Misleh said that the children are completely “unaware as they ever could be.”
Tepe sustained multiple gunshots and Monique suffered at least one shot to the chest, according to police records.
There was no apparent sign of forced entry and no firearm was discovered at the scene. Police said they don’t suspect that the deaths were a result of a murder-suicide.
The Columbus Police Department released an eerie video of a “person of interest” stalking around an alley near the Tepes’ home. The person was last seen wearing a pair of light pants and a dark, hooded coat.
Misleh, though, told NewsNation that the “person of interest” could just be a stranger “walking home drunk from a bar.”
Police are still investigating the grisly double homicide. They have not unveiled a possible motive.
