Columbus Police Chief Elaine Bryant<\/u><\/a> is speaking out about the murder of an Ohio dentist and his wife, calling the case “disturbing.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spencer Tepe, 37, and his 39-year-old wife, Monique,\u00a0were found shot to death inside their Weinland Park home in Columbus on Dec. 30. Investigators have ruled out\u00a0a murder-suicide and released\u00a0surveillance video of a person of interest seen walking<\/u><\/a> through a nearby alley near the couple’s home in the lead-up to the murders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This case is\u00a0definitely disturbing.\u00a0It’s definitely something that we want to make sure that we pour a lot of energy into,\u00a0to try to address and solve.\u00a0We want to bring some justice to the family,” Bryant told WSYX in an interview.<\/u><\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We know that there are a lot of concerns and a lot of questions surrounding this case. And we want to be able to be as transparent and answer as many of them as we can. Unfortunately, there are some things that we\u00a0can’t\u00a0talk about for the integrity of the investigation,” she continued.<\/p>\n

“It puts a lot of stress on us, but I just\u00a0want to\u00a0reiterate, while this case is getting a lot of national attention, we look at all of our homicides in that manner,” she also told the station. “They all bring us stress because someone lost their lives.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Investigators believe the killings<\/a> occurred between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. on Dec. 30, and authorities are urging anyone with video,\u00a0photos\u00a0or other digital evidence from that\u00a0timeframe\u00a0to contact police.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Newly released body camera video this week also showed a Columbus police officer going to the wrong address during\u00a0an initial\u00a0welfare check.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bryant said the officer believed he was at the correct location and followed protocol, but the couple was not discovered until co-workers went to the couple’s home about 40 minutes later, according to WBNS-10TV.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

“The officer did everything that he was supposed to do,” Bryant said,\u00a0adding\u00a0the response was later determined to be at the wrong address.\u00a0<\/p>\n
