The mystery of who killed an Ohio dentist and his wife deepened this week as reports of a 911 call made from the home months earlier became public.
Police found Spencer Tepe, 37, and Monique Tepe, 39, dead from gunshot wounds on December 30 after Spencer failed to show up for work at the Dental Depot.
There were no signs of forced entry at the home, and no weapon was found at the crime scene, ABC-6 reported. Police ruled out the possibility of a murder-suicide and said that they have no suspects in the double homicide.
CNN reported that the Tepes' children were ages 4 and 1. According to ABC-6 the children were found inside the home, unharmed but crying.
Fox News has now reported that in April, an unidentified woman called 911 from the residence around 2:45 a.m. The woman hung up, and the 911 dispatcher called the residence.
According to a transcript of the call printed by Fox, a woman answered and said she did not need assistance.
"Well, it sounds like you're crying. Do you need police, paramedics or anything?", the dispatcher asked. "No, no. No, I'm OK. I promise. I'm just emotional," the woman responded.
The dispatcher than asks why 911 was called in the first place. "Because me and my man got into it, but I'm OK, I promise," the woman responded. The woman then tells the dispatcher that nothing physical happened and that the situation was a verbal argument.
Fox News reported that the Columbus Emergency Communications Center coded the call as a "domestic dispute" and that assistance was no longer needed.
