Police Release 911 Audio and Bodycam as Prosecutors Allege Caleb Flynn Staged Burglary in Wife’s Shooting

The former American Idol contestant remains jailed on a $2 million bond after pleading not guilty to murder-related counts.

Overview

  • Tipp City police published 911 audio and bodycam/dashcam video on March 2–3 capturing Caleb Flynn sobbing, hyperventilating, vomiting, and calling his mother after reporting his wife’s death.
  • In the footage, officers note an open side or garage door and an open truck center console where Flynn said he kept a handgun.
  • Court documents allege Ashley Flynn, 37, was shot in bed with a 9mm handgun, with two shell casings found near the foot of the bed while the couple’s daughters slept in separate rooms.
  • Flynn is charged with murder, two counts of felonious assault, and two counts of tampering with evidence, and prosecutors contend the scene was staged to look like a break-in.
  • The investigation is ongoing with assistance from the FBI, the Miami County Sheriff’s Office, and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, and a preliminary hearing is set for March 26.
