Overview
- Caleb Flynn, a former American Idol contestant, pleaded not guilty to murder, two counts of felonious assault, and two counts of evidence tampering and remains in custody on a $2 million bond.
- Court documents allege Flynn used a 9mm handgun and manipulated the scene, noting two spent casings in a bedroom, an open garage side door that appeared to require moving a refrigerator, and an open truck console where he said he stored a gun.
- In a released 911 call, Flynn reported an intruder and said his wife had been shot twice, while a dispatch report noted he was hyperventilating when officers arrived.
- The FBI has joined Tipp City police, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, and county authorities as the case advances toward a Feb. 26 preliminary hearing set for 1 p.m.
- Ashley Flynn, a mother, teacher, and volleyball coach, is being mourned by her church and community, and a GoFundMe for her two daughters has surpassed its original $50,000 goal.
