OH - Ashley Flynn, 37, Killed in Reported Home Invasion, Tipp City, 16 February 2026 *husband charged*

[Seattle1]

Flynn's attorney alleges he has growing support of the community -- including from his wife's family where he's been staying with his daughters and their two dogs.

Flynn is arrogant and clearly doesn't understand any perceived support and/or kindness extended to him prior to his arrest was for the psychological support of the minor children. He wasn't arrested and charged in a vacuum! I hope he thinks about his children and gives it up already. JMO

Disgusting piece of trash. So it is who we all thought it was. Though I was trying to believe it wasn't him because then the children lose both parents. What makes a person do this? If you google, there are SO many women killed by their SO lately. What are the signs someone you've known for 20 years will kill you? I simply can't understand why a man would do this to his wife and mother of their children? How does someone think they will actually get away with this bs story and not spend the rest of their pathetic life in prison? It just makes NO sense to me. I think friends and investigators should come out and state what the warnings signs are in each of these cases. I mean, he must have been thinking and planning it out for a while. Or does someone suddenly just snap one day and do this? Again, just trying to make sense. I am currently not on good terms with my husband of 18 years but I don't think he will just someday come into my bedroom and shoot me. Or will he? That sounds terrible. But how does one ever know??

“It’s disturbing the speed at which this occurred,” said defense attorney L. Patrick Mulligan of Dayton law firm Moermond & Mulligan, who is representing Caleb Flynn. “I question the thoroughness” of the investigation.

[..]

Mulligan also called his client’s $2 million bond “unnecessarily high” and said he plans to seek a bond reduction.

“It denies him the opportunity to be at the funeral for his wife, which is an unspeakable tragedy,” he said, and also is a disruption to the grieving process.

[..]

Caleb Flynn, the couple’s daughters and two Goldendoodles also were home at the time of the shooting.

“The two children in the home had not woke up and (were) still in their bedroom throughout this incident,” the court record said.

BBM

The unspeakable tragedy, Counselor, is that there's a funeral.

CF doesn't get to be at. He's not worthy.

And no one cares about his grieving process.

JMO

So 2 shells at the foot of the bed, his console box open, which is where he says he keeps his gun. That tells me he got up when she was sleeping, went out and got the gun, came back, stood at the foot of the bed and shot her twice. All JMO.

Thank is a bit of a"good news" in this otherwise sad story. Thanks for the clarification!

In Iowa, the charge is "nonconsensual termination of a human pregnancy."

Here's the update; this commentator said that Ashley was rumored to be pregnant but that it hadn't been confirmed.

p.s. If some of you think this guy looks a bit familiar, I posted at least one link to his channel when that missionary was murdered by his wife in Angola.

If there's EVER a serious thought that he might, LEAVE. Even if it's just for an overnight, get out if you feel you're in danger.

IMO they probably should have drug tested those poor girls. IMO

They probably already did.

'I absolutely love the Lord. I love my wife more than anything. She is very, very pretty. … I love her,'

gross

That was cringe worthy and huge red flags.

 

[Sjöberg]

That was cringe worthy and huge red flags.

Yeah, it almost sounds like that the only point of a female to exist is to be pretty.
Or like he chooses a life partner based on "is she pretty".
Or like he thinks love = I like how she looks.
In his head, all three might be like that, though.

Listening to the 911 call without the knowledge of who survived in the house. I would think the children could also be deceased with the way the father is avoiding them and I don’t hear them. The silence of the children after such a loud event of gunfire shots in the home is odd.

I might be projecting this but the 911 operator seems to know they are speaking to someone unhinged and lying. The operator was so calm, kept his voice monotone and asked questions almost in a gentle way. What a good question to ask CF: what are you seeing?

The operator did a great job keeping CF talking and distracted.

IMO

 

[Spectrix]

I'd compare him to Brendan Banfield with the way he overacted... but actually it was even worse lol.

And with the crime itself, at least Banfield made an attempt to cover his tracks, the BDSM killer angle was unique, if feeble.

This idiot just grabbed his own gun from his truck and went for it.
I wonder if he thought to change his clothes to mask the gunshot residue? Surely not.

Just so tired of these disturbed men killing their wives, exes, gf's. It really sickens me.

Now here's two more innocent little children left without their parents.

 

[girlhasnoname]

I know you can’t rationalize with irrational people…but now, we await the “why.”

He probably had a side piece and then his pregnant wife became an obstacle. I'm just so sick and tired of the DV perpetrated by husbands who want to "start a new life". Too many to name but a few high profile, Scott Peterson (pregnant wife), Chris Watts (family annihilator) , Drew Peterson (two wives most likely three), Chris Coleman (family annihilator) and on and on and on.

Men, if you're so unhappy and having homicidal tendencies, please start with yourself and leave your innocent spouses and children alive. Sorry, not sorry.

MOO

 

[scapa]

Well this one got grimmer. I'm glad he didn't take out the other kids, at least.

Agree. This one had Chris Coleman vibes for me right from the beginning -- halfway expected his version of the infamous "Hey, wake up and check on the boys" text that CC sent his wife after he'd murdered them.

Another depressing chapter in the long, sad book of women murdered by men, with no actual plan for what came next. Who was going to drive the family train with AF gone? Not this hero.

Is he having a bloody laugh? What a despicable thing to say in the circumstances.
