A nearby resident told authorities that someone was “smashing” on her door 11 days before Spencer and Monique Tepe were found dead inside their Columbus home

A woman told authorities that someone was “banging” and “smashing” on her door in the early hours of the morning just days before Spencer and Monique Tepe were found dead inside their Columbus, Ohio, home.

On Dec. 30, dentist Spencer and his wife Monique were found fatally shot inside their house after the Columbus Division of Police responded to calls for welfare checks on the couple.

Police later shared in an incident report that they were investigating the couple’s death as a double homicide and not a murder-suicide.

It’s now been revealed that a woman living on the same street as the Tepe family called 911 on Dec. 19, 11 days before the killing, Fox News Digital reported.

The female in question claimed that somebody was banging on her door at 2:31 a.m. local time, according to audio footage obtained by PEOPLE.

The woman said in the audio heard by PEOPLE that someone was “smashing on my door. I think they’re trying to get in. They’re banging on my door.”

She told the 911 operator that she didn’t know who it was at the door, and she couldn’t see them, so she didn’t have a description of them. She also said she hadn’t asked them if they wanted or needed something.

Records obtained by PEOPLE stated that the “problem left” at 2:44 a.m. The incident occurred a three-minute walk up the street from the Tepes home, according to Fox News Digital.

The call details come after police said earlier this week that detectives believe the killing of Mr. and Mrs. Tepe occurred sometime between 2:00 and 5:00 a.m. in the upstairs of their residence, per a post shared on social media. Police also shared video footage of a person of interest walking in the alley near the Tepes home during that time frame.

It was previously reported that a “domestic dispute” 911 call had been traced to Spencer and Monique Tepe’s home months before the couple’s slayings.

However, Rob Misleh, Monique’s brother-in-law, has since told PEOPLE, “I one hundred percent know that is not Monique’s voice,” adding that the voice did not sound like anyone else he knew, either.

“Whatever FOX News showed, I think it just maybe pinged at their address, that’s probably a neighbor,” he said. “It’s so obviously not Monique’s voice. It’s not them.”

In the call, made in the middle of the night on April 15, a woman was heard weeping and telling the dispatcher that she no longer needed help and was just being “emotional.” When asked why she had called in the first place, she responded, “because me and my man got into it, but I’m okay, I promise.”

Misleh, who is married to Spencer’s sister, initially told the Surviving The Survivor Podcast that the 911 call was made during a house party at the Tepes home, but has since clarified to PEOPLE that the incident he recalled on the podcast was from years earlier, and he had mixed up dates.

“She said ‘my man,’ I don’t know who that could’ve been,” Misleh told PEOPLE of the woman on the call, insisting that that’s not how Monique spoke.

A friend of the slain couple — who would have been celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary later this month — also told PEOPLE that they were “madly in love” and “still acted like newlyweds.”

After Spencer and Monique’s bodies were found, their two children — ages 4 and 1 — were discovered inside the residence and were physically unharmed. They are now in the care of their extended family members, including Misleh and his wife.
