Accused Murderer, Former American Idol Contestant, Cries Like Baby at Court Hearing
Accused Murderer, Former American Idol Contestant, Cries Like Baby at Court Hearing.
Caleb Flynn, the 39-year-old worship pastor, and former American Idol contestant, is officially charged for killing his wife in their Tipp City, Ohio house.
Ashley Flynn, 37, a substitute teacher and beloved volleyball coach, was found dead early on February 16th with at least one gunshot wound to the head. Cops say the couple's two young daughters were asleep in the house the whole time.
Flynn dialed 911 right after 2:30 that morning. He told the dispatcher a burglar had broken in and shot his wife, mentioning two shots to the head and blood all over the place. He also noted the garage door was wide open.
Investigators later determined the scene had been staged to look like a home invasion gone bad. Court documents say a 9mm handgun was used. Flynn was arrested on Thursday. During his video court appearance the next morning from Miami County Jail, Flynn held back tears. He told the judge he just wanted to take care of his daughters and that he was not a risk. His lawyer entered a not guilty plea for him, and bond got set at $2 million. A preliminary hearing is coming up later this month.
