Summary

Police Left the Scene Minutes Before Two Bodies Found  A quiet Columbus, Ohio neighborhood. A routine welfare check. And a timeline that raises critical questions. In this episode of Police off the Cuff, retired NYPD detectives examine the double homicide of dentist Spencer Tepe and his wife Monique Tepe, found shot to death inside their home while their young children were still inside. Using official police records, 911 call data, and confirmed statements only, we reconstruct the minute-by-minute timeline of events — from the first missed work call to the moment officers forced entry and discovered the crime scene.
