Ashley Flynn

Charged wife

On the morning of February 16, 2026, 37-year-old Tipp City resident, teacher, and coach Ashley Flynn was found dead inside her home with two gunshot wounds to the head. Her husband, 39-year-old Caleb Flynn, placed a frantic 911 call reporting an active burglary and claiming an intruder had shot his wife. Following an intensive multi-agency investigation, detectives concluded that there was no home invasion and that Caleb Flynn had staged the scene, including blocking an exterior door with a refrigerator. Investigators arrested him on February 19, 2026, and alleged that he killed his pregnant wife using a 9mm handgun. On March 18, 2026, a Miami County grand jury indicted him on 11 counts, including aggravated murder and tampering with evidence. Caleb Flynn has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and his trial is scheduled to begin on September 17, 2026, under Judge Jeannine Pratt.

Timothy Fletcher & David Scott

ex-boyfriend & ex-husband

On December 17, 2025, 51-year-old Susan Avalon allegedly carried out a calculated double homicide crossing multiple Florida counties, targeting two men with whom she shared children and ongoing custody disputes. Authorities state that Avalon first traveled to the Tampa home of her ex-boyfriend, 55-year-old Timothy Fletcher, where she broke in through a rear glass door and shot him. A 911 call from Fletcher's phone captured the sound of gunfire, but Avalon intercepted the dispatcher's callback, claiming it was an accident, which delayed the discovery of his body. Hours later, Avalon traveled south to Bradenton, disguised herself as a food delivery driver using stolen Panera Bread items, and fatally shot her ex-husband, 54-year-old David Scott, at his front door. Scott survived long enough to identify Avalon to first responders. Utilizing license plate recognition technology, law enforcement tracked Avalon back to her Citrus County home, where she was caught trying to clean her vehicle with bleach. She has been indicted for first-degree murder in Hillsborough County—where prosecutors are actively seeking the death penalty—and faces separate second-degree murder charges in Manatee County.
