Officer Luke Velvman's testimony in the Caleb Flynn trial put Venmo, Gmail, a Blink camera account, and social media into the evidence story. The Tipp City officer testified that he drafted several search warrants as investigators gathered electronic records after Ashley Flynn's death. 
One warrant sought Venmo records for Alleigha Botner. Court testimony identified Botner as someone Caleb Flynn was involved with at the time Ashley died. Velvman also said investigators searched social-media information connected to Botner, expanding the digital review beyond Caleb's own accounts. 
The warrants reached other services as well. Velvman testified that he wrote a search warrant to Amazon for records associated with the Blink camera system and another for Caleb Flynn's Gmail account. Each request was part of investigators' effort to collect electronic records that might bear on the case. 
Cross-examination broadened the picture further. Velvman said warrants covered devices and electronic accounts belonging to Caleb Flynn, Ashley Flynn, and Alleigha Botner. That matters because the defense has argued investigators rushed to judgment against Caleb. The cross showed that police sought information from multiple people and multiple platforms, while leaving the significance of any resulting records for later testimony and exhibits. 
Caleb Flynn has pleaded not guilty to the charges involving the death of his wife, Ashley Flynn. Prosecutors allege he killed Ashley and staged a burglary scene. His attorneys maintain that an intruder killed her during a home invasion. 
Velvman's testimony is about how investigators built the digital record: who they targeted with warrants, which companies received requests, and which accounts came under scrutiny. A warrant can tell jurors where police looked. It does not, by itself, tell them what the records prove. That distinction becomes important as the prosecution starts connecting electronic evidence to its timeline and the defense tests how those searches were conducted.

Caleb Flynn told 911 that an intruder broke into his Tipp City, Ohio, home through the garage and shot his wife Ashley twice in the head. He told officers he was in the next room with their daughters. He told them his 9mm handgun was stolen from his truck in the garage. Prosecutors allege none of it happened the way Caleb described. They allege he shot Ashley himself and staged the entire house to look like a break-in.
The evidence that allegedly shattered his story starts in the garage. Officers found the side door open -- the door Caleb said the intruder used. But a large refrigerator was sitting in front of it on the inside. The court affidavit says it would have had to be pushed to open that door. If no one moved the refrigerator, no one came through that door. Caleb was arrested within 82 hours. A Miami County grand jury indicted him on 11 charges including aggravated murder.
Ashley Flynn was 37. She coached seventh-grade volleyball at Tippecanoe Middle School. She was a substitute teacher. She posted Valentine's Day photos of herself and Caleb on Facebook on February 14. She was dead on February 16. Their daughters were asleep when it happened. Those daughters are on both sides' witness lists and are described as crucial to Caleb's alibi.
Defense attorney L. Patrick Mulligan says the prosecution cannot prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. He says investigators rushed to arrest the surviving spouse. Both sides have forensic experts. The trial is expected to last two to three weeks with over a hundred witnesses. The jury will visit the house. This is the complete case before testimony starts -- both sides, all the evidence, and the detail inside that garage that could decide everything. Caleb Flynn has pleaded not guilty.

Detective Adam Bernard's Day 2 testimony in the Caleb Flynn trial focused on what investigators did after the initial scene work was over. The Tipp City detective described evidence collected in the days following Ashley Flynn's death, including electronic information obtained under a Microsoft search warrant. 
Cross-examination focused heavily on the firearm search. Bernard testified that he spent tens of hours searching the Flynn residence for the gun. He also said officers searched sewer drains. The testimony established that the search was lengthy and expanded outside the home's ordinary storage spaces. 
The defense also asked Bernard about tips received during the investigation. He testified that he collected tip reports and sent them to the FBI. Bernard said he did not know whether the FBI followed up on those tips. That distinction matters because his testimony established the transfer of the information, but not what investigators outside Tipp City did after receiving it. 
Bernard further testified that electronic data was collected under a Microsoft search warrant. That portion of his testimony addressed another category of evidence gathered after the incident. Cross-examination concentrated more sharply on how long police searched for the firearm and what happened to tips after Bernard forwarded them. 
Caleb Flynn has pleaded not guilty in the death of his wife, Ashley Flynn. Prosecutors allege he staged the scene to look like a burglary after killing Ashley. The defense says a home invader killed her and investigators settled on Caleb too quickly. 
That makes Bernard's cross-examination especially important. Jurors heard how hard police searched for the firearm, but they also heard that Bernard could not tell them whether tips sent to the FBI were pursued. The argument now is not simply about how much investigative work was done. It is about which leads were exhausted, which were handed off, and what the jury can actually conclude from that record.

Caleb Flynn told the world he loved his wife. John-Paul Miller told his congregation he was a man of God. Prosecutors in two separate cases allege both men were hiding lives that their wives and communities never saw. Caleb Flynn is on trial in Miami County, Ohio, for the February 2026 murder of his wife Ashley, 37. He faces 11 charges including aggravated murder. Prosecutors allege he shot her twice in the head inside their Tipp City home and staged the scene as a home invasion. He was arrested within 82 hours. His alleged mistress and his two young daughters are set to testify against him. He is held on $3.5 million bond. 
John-Paul Miller faces federal charges of cyberstalking and making false statements to investigators. A December 2025 indictment alleges years of harassment against his estranged wife Mica. GPS trackers. Dozens of calls in a day. Intimate images posted without consent. Financial interference. The alleged campaign ran from November 2022 until her death on April 27, 2024. Mica's death was ruled a suicide. Solid Rock Church closed after protests erupted. The Netflix documentary Death of the Pastor's Wife brought the case to a national audience in August 2026. Miller's trial is set for October 2026. 
Robin Dreeke and Jennifer Coffindaffer examine the evidence in both cases and the federal strategy unfolding around Miller. Both men have pleaded not guilty.

Forensic testimony took center stage in the Caleb Flynn trial as crime scene technician Holly Ryszek and forensic pathologist Dr. Bryan Casto addressed different pieces of the evidence. Ryszek described testing and collection inside the Flynn home. Casto explained findings from Ashley Flynn's autopsy. 
Ryszek testified that swabs from the sink drain and shower drain in the master suite did not test positive for blood. She said suspected blood collected from light switches was blood. She also described collecting DNA swabs from numerous locations in the bedroom and master bathroom and from Caleb Flynn's truck. 
One of Ryszek's observations went directly to the disputed burglary account. She testified that the garage door appeared inconsistent with forced entry. Prosecutors allege the scene was staged to look like a home invasion. The defense says an intruder killed Ashley and argues investigators settled on Caleb too quickly. 
Casto testified that Ashley had two gunshot wounds to the head that were very close together. Toxicology showed Prozac in her system and an elevated level of melatonin. Casto said the melatonin result meant Ashley had taken melatonin at some point. 
The defense used cross-examination to establish limits in the autopsy findings. Casto said the two bullet tracks overlapped and that the firing range was indeterminate. That left jurors with a documented wound pattern, but no specific distance between the firearm and Ashley when the shots were fired. 
Caleb Flynn has pleaded not guilty in the death of his wife, Ashley Flynn. Ryszek's testimony showed where investigators searched for blood and DNA and gave her assessment of the garage entry. Casto documented the wounds and toxicology while acknowledging that the autopsy could not determine firing range.
