The distressing events leading up to the discovery of a Columbus, Ohio dentist and his wife, both deceased in their residence, are captured in multiple 911 calls. One urgent caller informed dispatchers bluntly, “there’s a body,” as authorities continue their investigation to find the person responsible for the double homicide, which occurred just before the couple’s fifth wedding anniversary.

According to reports, police arrived at the scene around 10 a.m. on December 30, where they found 37-year-old Spencer Tepe and his 39-year-old wife, Monique, both dead from gunshot wounds. Fortunately, their two young children present in the home were unharmed. The police do not suspect a murder-suicide and noted there were no signs of forced entry, and no firearm was recovered, as reported by WSYX.

Fox News Digital acquired the four 911 calls through a public records request. The first call was made by Mark Valrose, Spencer’s employer and owner of Athens Dental Depot. Valrose, who was on vacation in Florida, expressed concern after Spencer failed to report to work, prompting worries among his colleagues.

“Spencer works with me and he did not show up to work this morning, and we cannot get ahold of him or his family,” Valrose stated. “He is always on time and would contact us if there were any issues whatsoever… we’re very, very concerned because this is very out of character and we can’t get in touch with his wife, which is probably the more concerning thing.”

Spencer and Monique Tepe were on the verge of celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary.

At 9:56 a.m., another individual called 911 to report they could hear kids inside the Tepe household, but no one answered the door.

“I can hear kids inside, and I swear, I think I heard one yell, but we can’t get in at this point. I don’t know if I need to break the door in or just get in the house or what,” the caller said. 

One of Spencer’s friends called 911 at 10:03 a.m, saying they came to the Tepes’ house to do a “wellness check” and could see a body inside the house.

“There’s a body,” the person can be heard saying. “Our friend wasn’t answering his phone. We just did a wellness check. We just came here and he appears dead. He’s laying next to his bed, off of his bed in this blood. I can’t get closer to see more than that.”

“I can tell he’s obviously not breathing or anything,” the caller said.

Spencer’s friend told the 911 operator that the last time someone spoke with him was on Dec. 29. The friend told the 911 operator that Spencer didn’t do any drugs.

A fourth individual called 911 at 9:58 a.m., identifying herself as a coworker who wanted police to do a wellness check.

Former homicide detective Ted Williams told Fox News Digital he thinks “someone they know” killed the couple.

“The investigators in Columbus, Ohio, they’re having to work backwards from that crime scene, and this is what we know. We do know that there was no signs of forced entry. So, if there’s no sign of forced entry, that tells me that they either knew their victims, meaning the perpetrator, or the Tepes may very well have left their doors open,” Williams said.

Police on Monday night released surveillance footage showing a “person of interest” in the murders of Spencer and Monique.

The video, released by the Columbus Division of Police, shows the man walking slowly in an alley near the Weinland Park home where Spencer and Monique lived. He’s seen in what appears to be a dark coat and light-colored pants.

In a statement released Friday, the couple’s family said they are “heartbroken beyond words,” and called the deaths “tragic and senseless.”

“They were extraordinary people whose lives were filled with love, joy, and deep connection to others,” read the statement. “Spencer, a graduate of The Ohio State University, was known as a devoted and proud father, a loving partner, and a friend to everyone he met,” the family statement said, adding that he was “intelligent, warm, and endlessly welcoming.”

Monique was described by family members as a “loving, patient and joyful mother whose warmth defined her.”

Rob Misleh, Spencer’s brother-in-law, told WSYX that the couple was going to celebrate their five-year anniversary next month after getting married in 2021.
