Overview

  • Police released alley surveillance from early Dec. 30 showing a hooded person of interest near the Tepes’ Weinland Park home during the 2–5 a.m. window.
  • Investigators report no signs of forced entry, three 9 mm shell casings recovered inside the home, and no firearm found.

  • Dispatch audio reveals a 911 call from the address on April 15, 2025 about a “domestic dispute,” which a brother-in-law says was not Monique’s voice and may have been a party guest.
