(NewsNation) — The deaths of two Ohio parents have shocked many, including the brother-in-law of Spencer Tepe.
Tepe and his wife, Monique, were killed in their home, north of Columbus, on Dec. 30, while their two young children were inside.
Their two children, both younger than 6, were left unharmed, with no sign of forced entry and no firearm found at the scene. They are now in the care of Tepe’s brother-in-law, Rob Misleh, who discussed the tragedy with NewsNation.
Police have yet to announce a suspect. Authorities say the spouses died between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m., and have released footage of a person of interest in an alley near the home during the time period.
“I do think, you know, (it’s a) suspicious-looking person there. It also very well could be … somebody walking home drunk from a bar,” Misleh said.
He added he knew of no enemies the Tepes had, stating they were “so well liked and admired by everyone.”
“They were always smiling, they were always laughing. So, it’s really just unbelievable and shocking to all of us when we found out. Still, a week later, it doesn’t, still doesn’t feel real. I can’t believe I’m, like, here talking about this,” Misleh said.
