Police have released a video of a “person of interest” in the murders of a beloved Ohio dentist and his wife, who were gunned down last week at their home.
The chilling clip, released by the Columbus Police Department on Monday, shows an individual wandering in light pants and a dark, hooded coat in a snowy alley near the Weinland Park home of Spencer Tepe, 37, and his wife, Monique, 39.
The person of interest had their head down and their hands in their pockets as they strolled at a calm pace, the surveillance footage showed.
The Tepes were discovered shot dead on the morning of Dec. 30 and were believed to have been killed some time between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. that day in the upstairs of their residence, cops said.
The slain couple’s two children and their goldendoodle dog were found unharmed in the four-bedroom abode.
Police had asked anyone with security footage near the couple’s home on North 4th Street within the three-hour window to submit clips to authorities in hopes of finding a lead in the double-homicide investigation as it moved into its second week.
“We want to thank the community for the tips we have received. We know there are questions and concerns surrounding this tragic incident,” police wrote in a statement.
“Detectives are working diligently to solve this case. We will continue to update you as the investigation progresses,” the department continued.
