Friends say the Tepes were, quote, madly in love, end quote, end quote, still acted like newlyweds as they approached their fifth anniversary.

In a tragic twist of fate, the couple was brutally slaughtered inside the very house where they were married back in 2021.

Detectives recovered nine millimeter spent shell casings on the second floor but found no weapon and no signs of a break-in.

Authorities have emphatically dismissed the possibility of a murder-suicide.

The hunt continues also for a person of interest caught on grainy surveillance footage trudging through a snow-dusted alley behind the home during the morning hours in which authorities believe the couple was killed.

Clad in a dark hooded coat and light pants, the figure moves with a calculated slowness and their face is not seen.

Authorities have been tight-lipped about a possible motive in the murders as the Tepe children remain with relatives.

Columbus police are desperate for leads.

Detectives are asking anyone with information on the video figure or more to call Homicide at 614-645-4730 or Crime Stoppers at 614-461-8477.

More crime and justice news after this.

Nancy Sandra Phelps, a five-time cancer survivor who spent years cheating death, was taken out by a single Christmas bullet while cradling that infant grandchild on a holiday afternoon.

Sandy, or Nanny as she was known...

was relaxing on a covered porch around 3.15 p.m.

in the Meridian area about 90 miles southwest of Oklahoma City when the crack of gunfire began echoing from the north.

Witnesses say Sandra remained eerily calm, even joking with her family as the shots rang out saying, quote, someone got a new gun for Christmas, end quote.

Unaware that the weapon was currently being aimed,

in her direction.

Moments later, the grandmother let out a simple heartbreaking, ouch, and collapsed into the love seat.

First responders found a scene of absolute horror.

Sandra had been struck by a high caliber round that tore through her upper right arm and steep downward angles before burying itself deep into her chest.
