Columbus Police Release Video of Person of Interest in Killings of Spencer and Monique Tepe

Detectives are following numerous tips prompted by the alley surveillance from the overnight window.

Overview

  • The couple, ages 37 and 39, were found shot on Dec. 30 during a welfare check at their Columbus home, and their 1- and 4-year-old children were unharmed.
  • Investigators believe the shootings occurred upstairs between about 2 and 5 a.m., and released footage of a hooded figure in light pants and a dark jacket walking in a nearby alley.
  • Police have ruled out a murder-suicide, recovered three 9mm shell casings, found no firearm at the scene, and reported no obvious signs of forced entry.
  • No suspect or motive has been identified as the coroner cites apparent homicide by gunshot wounds with autopsy and toxicology reports pending.
  • The children are now with family, including brother-in-law Rob Misleh, and a GoFundMe to support their care has raised more than $150,000.
