On December 30, Spencer and Monique Tepe, a married couple residing in Ohio, were found shot dead in their home. Authorities responded to a 911 call days earlier reporting a door banging near the couple’s residence, a detail that has raised questions about the events leading up to the murders. Law enforcement officials continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding this tragic double homicide, which has unsettled the local community.
Meanwhile, Bryan Kohberger, who was convicted for the brutal stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students in 2025, remains a focal point of public attention. Prior to his arrest, Kohberger’s own sister issued a stark warning about a “psycho killer” on the loose, urging caution. Kohberger appeared at the Ada County Courthouse for his sentencing hearing last July, where the gravity of his crimes was underscored. The case remains a somber reminder of the devastating impact violent crime can have on families and communities. More details on Kohberger’s case and sentencing are available through the Idaho Department of Correction.
Adding to the grim headlines, Richard Cottingham, infamously known as the “Torso Killer,” has confessed to another murder. Cottingham’s criminal history spans decades, and his recent confession has reignited discussions about cold cases and the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to bring closure to victims’ families.
