Relative Says Crying Woman Who Made 'Domestic Dispute' 911 Call '100%' Wasn't Ohio Dentist's Wife By Samira Asma-Sadeque 15

A “domestic dispute” 911 call traced to Monique and Spencer Tepe’s home months before the couple’s slayings was not made by Monique, a relative says.

Rob Misleh, Monique’s brother-in-law, has responded to reports of the April 911 call released this week where a woman is heard crying over a “domestic dispute.”

“I one hundred percent know that is not Monique’s voice,” Misleh tells PEOPLE, 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 says. “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 is 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 OK, 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 now clarifies to PEOPLE that the incident he recalled on the podcast was from years earlier, and he had mixed up dates.

However, he maintains definitively that the woman who made the 911 call in April is not Monique either, especially given the language on the call.

“She said ‘my man,’ I don’t know who that could’ve been,” Misleh says, adding that that’s not how Monique spoke.

He shared with PEOPLE a video from the couple’s wedding where Monique spoke, further asserting that the voice is different from the call record released by FOX News.
