I’m leaning towards the ex-husband.

Prior to meeting her dentist husband, she worked in early childhood education. Women with her background typically are not divorcing surgeons, especially before having any children. The route of early childhood education to marrying a surgeon is a one-way golden ticket to being a wealthy stay at home mom.

There’s something weird happening with that previous divorce. And I bet the records are all sealed.

Only if you're a gold digger. The woman in the photos doesn't give gold digger vibes. You know, hair, clothes, make-up, plastic surgery. She seems real. Not to rule out the ex-DH, but stop with the mean spirited speculation.

Reddit says the ex-husband married a man after divorcing Monique Tepe, and subsequently divorced again.

The wife was very very pretty. That’s enough to get my attention.

Good looking, clean cut seeming young couple murdered in their home with no signs of forced entry while their unharmed young kids slept nearby and no immediate arrest/suspect named is always going to generate headlines.

It's been ruled a double homicide. Why do people keep saying suicide? They can tell if it's a suicide.

Reddit is as usual googling a name and posting nonsense. The name is not a rare name. They are lumping together about 5 different people with the same name. Her ex did not marry a man. Nor did he have DV charges.

Yes. And for the folks that went to check on them - it sounds like the dentist who Spencer worked for called 911 while other co-workers went to the house. They called 911 twice - once to say they heard the kids and then once to say there was a body. Just awful.

The sad thing is that the cop who went for the initial welfare check, rang the doorbell and walked away. He should have heard the children, he should have peeked in the windows. Thank goodness for those co-workers but how traumatizing. The lazy officer should have done his job.

The police do welfare checks every day, multiple checks. They do look in windows and walk around the house assumimg there is no fence. Maybe the children were quiet when he went and the bodies were upstairs..
Can’t just go busting down doors. People get pissed.

Isn’t a welfare check to make sure they are alive /safe?

How would no answer indicate they are fine?

There is a limit to what they can do without permission of a home owner or reasonable suspicion. What if your boss called in a welfare check when you were an hour late to work and the police broke down your door when you didn’t answer, and you were just over at your boyfriends house playing hooky?

+1. Adults are allowed to go AWOL, it’s not a crime. If the police don’t see forced entry, unattended pets/children, signs of violence, etc. they don’t just barge in.

Police released a video of the suspect but the only thing clear is the gait. S/he is completely bundled up and images are pretty blurry

Looks like a male to me. He is carefully hiding his face. Acting guilty as heck.

[Anonymous]

That is very clearly a man. A man who is smart enough to hide is face.

What topics are worthy of discussion here?

They usually don’t involve murders of random people hundreds of miles away. They tend to be DC-related or topical per threads.

It was a good looking UMC couple. The people on DCUM can relate. DUH!!!

Very sad.

Unfortunately, my guess is it was either an affair gone wrong, or drug related.

The scenario about the ex seems unlikely to me….a surgeon that she had long been divorced from? Nah.

[Anonymous]

Maybe a disgruntled patient or former employee, & the wife got in the way.

It doesn’t always take a lot to set off a crazy person- something like a patient being sent to collections, or an employee who was fired etc would certainly be possibilities IMO.

It feels like someone knew something was already off given how quickly they were concerned. He didn’t show up for work and by 10:00 they had police there. I feel like the coworkers knew there were some issues going on. Maybe he had told them about weird messages or a stalker or someone who had threatened them or something.

In most places even if you had a very reliable employee, you wouldn’t be at their house with police almost immediately after they didn’t show up for work.
