Episode Details

Columbus, Ohio is searching for answers after a beloved dentist and his wife were found shot to death inside their home on December 30, 2025. Dr. Spencer Tepe, 37, and Monique Tepe, 39, were discovered after Spencer mysteriously failed to show up for work at Athens Dental Depot. When coworkers couldn't reach him or his wife, they drove to the couple's Weinland Park home — where they heard the couple's young children crying inside. Police found Spencer and Monique dead from gunshot wounds. He was shot multiple times. She was shot at least once in the chest. Three 9mm casings were recovered, but no gun was found. There were no signs of forced entry. Their two children, ages 4 and 1, were in another room — alive and physically unharmed. The couple got married inside that same home in 2021. They were one month away from their fifth wedding anniversary. Police have ruled out murder-suicide and are treating this as a targeted double homicide. A city crime camera sits near the home, but police won't say if it captured anything useful. No suspect has been identified. No motive has been disclosed. The investigation is led by Detective Weiner. Tips can be sent to Columbus Police Homicide at 614-645-4730 or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 614-461-TIPS.
