Also, that there was blood.
They both had been shot to death inside their home.
Now, Spencer had allegedly been shot multiple times, and Monique suffered at least one gunshot wound to the chest.
But here's where it gets even more unsettling, okay?
Their two children, just one year old and four years old, were inside the house when this went down, but they were physically unharmed, which that detail alone is so difficult to sit with.
Thank God they weren't harmed, but knowing that these two kids, who fortunately probably will not have the memory or at least the graphic vivid memory of it as they get older, but to know that this one-year-old and four-year-old were left behind in this home with their deceased parents, I don't even know, I mean, haunting isn't a big enough word to even describe it.
So as the investigators started piecing everything together, one of the biggest questions became whether anybody else had been there that morning, right?
Police said that they're actively looking for any photos or any video that could help identify who may have entered or left the home in the hours leading up to these murders.
Fortunately, they did have a ring camera, and it does seem like the neighbors had cameras as well.
But police reported no signs of forced entry, no gun at the scene, nothing really, so that raised a lot of questions about how this suspect actually got into their house in the first place, and what may have happened inside that home before Spencer and Monique were found.
And look, right away there were a lot of, I don't want to say questions, but there was some mild speculation that maybe this was self-inflicted, a murder-suicide.
But the police made it very abundantly clear that this situation was not that.
They believed that it was a double homicide, yet they also said that they have no suspects and no motive yet.
Columbus Police have specifically asked neighbors and anybody in the area to check surveillance cameras, doorbell footage, any other video that may have captured something out of place.
They've even gone so far as to ask for rideshare pickups and drop-offs that were in the area to see if maybe somebody had taken an Uber or a Lyft, you know,
to get dropped off or picked up in that area or if somebody knows something or if they had dash cams.
I mean, the works.
And while combing through some of the footage they received, Columbus police actually did come up with something that may help them.
On Monday, January 5th, police released surveillance from a nearby home's Nest camera, which Nest is similar to Ring, to Blink, all of the different things.
The footage shows a person walking down the street near the family's home wearing dark pants, a dark hoodie, and then the hood is pulled up.
