Police in Columbus released chilling surveillance footage this week showing a hooded person of interest near the home of Dr. Spencer Tepe and his wife Monique, who were found fatally shot on December 30, 2025. The videos have reignited outrage in a city already fed up with violent crime and raised urgent questions about how safe families really are in their own neighborhoods. Authorities have asked the public for tips as the investigation continues.
The newly released clip shows an individual in lighter-colored pants and a dark hooded coat, walking slowly through a snowy alley within the suspected window of the killings between about 2:00 and 5:00 a.m. Investigators say the person’s face is not visible on the footage, but the imagery places someone in that area at a critical time. Law-abiding Americans watching that footage should be furious that this kind of violence can happen so close to home.
Police emphasize there were no signs of forced entry, no weapon recovered at the scene, and that the deaths are being treated as homicide rather than a murder-suicide — a detail that only deepens the mystery and the community’s fear. Two young children, a one-year-old boy and a four-year-old girl, were found inside the house unharmed but clearly traumatized, and they’ve been placed with relatives while investigators work. The image of those kids crying inside their home is a gut-punch to anyone who believes government’s first duty is to keep citizens safe.
This story is another indictment of the permissive culture that tolerates rising violent crime in many American cities; when policies prioritize defendants over victims, families pay the price. Local leaders who preach compassion for criminals while ignoring victims should be held to account by voters who actually live in these communities. If conservatives want to protect innocent children and hard-working families, we must demand law-and-order policies that put public safety first.
Former homicide detective Brian Foley appeared on Fox to break down how investigators will use the new camera footage, phone and financial records, and interview information — including what the children might remember — to build their case. Law enforcement’s methodical work matters, but so does giving police the tools and the political cover to do it without woke interference or budget cuts. Community tips and the digital paper trail will be crucial in turning a grainy silhouette into answers for grieving relatives.
Americans should also take this as a call to support neighbors, local patrols, and common-sense measures that protect families — from stronger police presence to tougher penalties for violent offenders. Sympathy and social media outrage won’t substitute for boots on the ground and prosecutors who seek real consequences for violent crime. If we love our country, we defend the most vulnerable first: our children, our homes, and the quiet dignity of family life.
Our hearts go out to the Tepe children and to their extended family who now face an unimaginable loss and the heavy burden of raising two small kids without their parents. Citizens should keep eyes open, share any tips with Columbus police, and demand that investigations like this get the full resources they need until justice is done. We owe the Tepes a full accounting and the assurance that no family in America will be left under siege in their own home.
