Police Chief Speaks on Mysterious Ohio Dentist Murders

On December 30, 2025, Spencer and Monique Tepe were found shot to death in their Columbus, Ohio home between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. Their two children were unharmed. Police released a video of a person walking in an alley near the house during the early‑morning window. Columbus Police Chief Elaine Bryant said no motive had emerged and no suspect had been identified yet. Bryant also noted the case remained unsolved, urging the public for tips. Rob Misleh, the couple’s brother‑in‑law, recalled spending Christmas together the year before the killings. The incident prompted a city‑wide investigation and a forthcoming celebration of life service for the family.
