Was Ashley Flynn murdered by a mysterious intruder, or was the killer hiding in plain sight? In Part Two of this heartbreaking case, we return to Tipp City, Ohio, as investigators begin uncovering evidence that turns the entire story on its head. Caleb Flynn had told police that an unknown intruder entered his home and shot his wife, Ashley, while she slept. But his story wasn’t adding up. As detectives dig deeper, they uncover more than 100,000 messages, suspicious activity on his Apple Watch, and a nearly two-year affair with 24-year-old Alleigha Botner. And what they discover in those messages is truly chilling. Caleb had repeatedly expressed a desire for Ashley to die, including in messages discussing ways to kill her without going to prison. But with a lucrative career, a comfortable family life, and two daughters, what was stopping him from simply walking away? We follow the investigation through to the courtroom, where jurors hear digital evidence, conflicting accounts of the night, witness testimony, and the prosecution’s argument that Flynn staged the scene to make an intruder appear responsible. After a trial lasting just over a week, the jury reaches its verdict in just over two hours.
