Mystery: Police Still Searching For Suspect After Dentist and Wife Gunned Down in Their Columbus, Ohio, Home

Wait 5 sec.

A dentist and his wife were gunned down in their Columbus, Ohio, home earlier this week and police still have not identified a suspect.Dr. Spencer Tepe, 37, and his wife Monique Tepe, 39, were found shot to death in their home Tuesday morning after police conducted a welfare check.Their two children were found in the home crying but were not physically harmed.Police were called to conduct a welfare check after Dr. Tepe, who was known for being punctual, failed to show up to work at Athens Dental Depot.Athens Dental Depot owner, Dr. Mark Valrose told 911 dispatchers that Dr. Tepe always shows up to work on time.“He is always on time and he would contact us if there was any issues,” Dr. Valrose told dispatchers, according to WSYX. “I don’t know how else to say this but we are very very concerned. This is very out of character for him. We can’t get in touch with his wife which is probably the more concerning thing.”Police said there was no sign of forced entry and no weapon was found at the scene of the crime so they don’t believe it was a murder-suicide. Dr. Tepe was shot multiple times and his wife suffered one gunshot wound to the chest.Police cameras posted on a utility pole near the Tepe’s home may have captured the killer, according to the Columbus Dispatch. Athens Dental Depot announced they will be closed for the remainder of the week.“It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden passing of our dear colleague and friend, Dr. Spencer Tepe, as well as his wife Monique. He will be deeply missed by our team and the many patients he cared for over the years. Our thoughts and sincerest condolences are with their families and loved ones during this very difficult time,” Athens Dental Depot wrote on Facebook.“Our practice will be closed for the remainder of this week. If you have an urgent dental concern, please leave us a message on our emergency line and we will follow up as soon as possible,” the dental practice said. “We will assess our availability for next week’s appointments and be in touch shortly,” they said. “We ask for your continued patience, support, and privacy as our team mourns these terrible losses,” they said.More on this story from WSYX ABC 6:The post Mystery: Police Still Searching For Suspect After Dentist and Wife Gunned Down in Their Columbus, Ohio, Home appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
