The woman assured them she was just emotional, but the circumstances surrounding this call are now under scrutiny as investigators search for answers.
Spencer and Monnique were discovered dead in their home on December 30, with police estimating the murders occurred between 2 and 5 AM. Their two children, aged four and one, were unharmed but now face a life without their parents. The couple had been married for nearly five years and were beloved members of their community.

The individual, dressed in dark clothing, raises questions about their connection to the crime. Investigators are urging the public to come forward with any relevant information or video footage from that night.

Their wedding video, showcasing their love, has gone 𝓿𝒾𝓇𝒶𝓁, amplifying the community’s grief and confusion over the brutal crime.
As authorities piece together the timeline leading up to the murders, the emotional toll on the surviving children is palpable.
