Summary

After this episode was published, People Magazine reported that Spencer Tepe's brother-in-law, Rob Misleh, says the woman in the 911 call transcripts is not Monique. https://people.com/911-call-not-monique-tepe-relative-says-11880695

A respected Ohio dentist and his wife were found shot to death inside their Columbus home, and more than a week later, police are still saying very little. Spencer Tepe and his wife Monique, known to family and friends as “Mo,” were discovered after concerns were raised when Spencer failed to show up for work, something colleagues say was completely out of character. In this episode, we walk through the disturbing new information that has emerged since their deaths, including police radio traffic from the morning their bodies were found, newly surfaced details from a prior 911 call connected to the home, and what investigators are and are not sharing with the public. We also examine why the lack of visible progress is raising questions and what experts say could be happening behind the scenes.

0:00.0	Hey everyone. I'm Ashley Banfield and this is Drop Dead serious. Spencer and Monique
0:11.3	Teppi, the Ohio dentist and his wife, a woman or family called Mo. They were found murdered
0:17.0	inside their Columbus, Ohio home on December 30th. And as of the recording of this
0:22.2	podcast, those killings were a week ago today. And there's been almost no movement from
0:28.3	police. No suspects, no clues, really nothing, no updates. And that kind of silence can mean one
0:37.2	of two things. It can mean that police
0:39.4	are just as stumped as they were on day one, or it can mean they're closing in on the killer.
0:47.3	Spencer Teppi was a respected and popular dentist in town so respected that his mere failure to show up for work on time last Tuesday
0:58.0	set off alarm bells with his friends and his colleagues. But soon those friends and colleagues
1:04.5	would be devastated with unimaginable news. Spencer and Moe had been found shot to death. They were on an upper floor of their
1:13.4	downtown home in Columbus, Ohio. There were no signs of a break-in. They didn't find a murder weapon
1:20.6	anywhere in sight, so that's obviously ruling out the murder suicide, right? No gun means that guy
1:26.3	didn't do it. That girl didn't do it.
1:29.0	Columbus Police had a real puzzle on their hands with this one, right off the bat, right?
1:33.3	This one was like right out of an Agatha Christie novel.
1:36.5	I want you to listen to this.
1:38.3	This is a police radio clip of the chatter.
1:43.5	It's chatter between the responding officers
1:45.7	on the morning that Spencer and Mo were found dead.
1:49.6	Caller saying they can hear kids inside.
1:52.1	Claudia heard one of them yelling.
1:54.3	Now we're getting another call saying there's a body inside.
