Summary

A single 911 call changed everything in the Spencer and Monique Tepe case—and now, for the first time, you can hear it. Newly released audio captures the exact moment fear turns into horror, as a coworker realizes there’s a body inside the Tepe home… while the children are still there. In this episode, we break down the chilling 911 call, new surveillance footage showing a hooded figure near the home during the suspected time of the murders, and photos that reveal how someone could move through the house without forcing entry. With no weapon recovered, unanswered questions about motive, and a possible person of interest now in view, this case is entering a critical new phase—and someone out there knows more than they’re saying. About Hidden True Crime What started as a simple conversation at their dinner table became a captivating podcast. Join the dynamic duo of Dr. John Matthias, a criminal psychologist, and Lauren Matthias, an investigative journalist, as they delve into the psychological facets of unthinkable crimes every week. Their unique perspectives and in-depth analysis offer a fresh take on true crime storytelling.
