Police say new security video shows a person of interest in the deadly shooting of a popular dentist and his wife in Ohio. In the footage released by Columbus police, you can see an individual walking in the alley near the couple's home between the hours of 2:00 and 5:00 AM on December 30. That's when police believe they were killed. Hours later, Spencer and Monique Tepe were found dead inside their home. Spencer's colleagues called 911 after he didn't show up for work.

We're very, very concerned because this is very out of character, and we can't get in touch with his wife, which is probably the more concerning thing.

Police say there was no evidence of a forced entry. No gun was recovered at the scene, but investigators did find three spent 9-millimeter casings. The couple's two small children, ages four and one, were found inside unharmed. Police are treating this as a double homicide. We're all pretty exhausted. We're all just devastated, still a little bit in shock.

Rob Misleh, Spencer's brother-in-law, photographed the couple on their wedding day five years ago. Now the family is planning their funerals. He told our Columbus affiliate, WBNS, that Tepe's home was the heart of their family and community. And they were the glue of so many people in such a large community that they brought together. And they were just so loving and just so welcoming to people. Not being able to go back there, not being able to go visit them at their home, and them not being able to see their children grow up, it's just two things I can't fathom.
