Why Caleb Flynn Chose Murder Over Leaving Ashley

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News &... ·

2026/10/07

Caleb Flynn was convicted on nine counts including aggravated murder for the shooting death of his wife Ashley. Prosecutors argued he killed her while she slept and staged the scene as a burglary. Divorce was available to him at every stage. He chose murder, the prosecution argued. Flynn had been carrying on an 18-month affair with a 24-year-old church intern and exchanged over 107,000 texts. In one, he allegedly wrote he was up until 4 a.m. thinking of ways to kill his wife and not go to jail. He

Caleb Flynn stood before Judge Jeannine Pratt and told the court he did not kill his wife. Then his own daughters' statements were read.

The other wrote to him as Daddy and asked how he could do it — kill the only mother she ever had. She told him it was his choice to have the affair, his choice to leave his daughters, his choice to kill

2026/10/06

After the May execution of Tony Carruthers was halted — after over an hour of failed IV attempts and an alleged stroke — Tennessee sent the same physician into Christa Pike's execution chamber on September 30. Dr. Mark Fowler testified under oath he had not placed a central line in over thirteen years. He holds no hospital privileges. The state's position in court filings: his qualifications were "not important or relevant." Pike received two doses of pentobarbital. Her arms were swollen, burned,

Lindsay Clancy: The Legal Trap the Internet Fell For

2026/10/05

The Lindsay Clancy defense made a move that set the internet on fire. After the mistrial, Kevin Reddington filed a motion stating there is no evidence Lindsay killed her children. The public assumed he was accusing Patrick Clancy. The truth is far more calculated. Reddington filed a Rule 25(b) motion — a procedural argument that the prosecution’s official trial record lacks the direct physical evidence required to sustain the charges. It’s a technical challenge about what made it into the record,

The search for Nancy Guthrie has taken a disturbing turn. Extortionists are now targeting the people investigating and commenting on her disappearance. Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer received a ransom demand sent to a private personnel email address, using a middle name she doesn’t publicly go by.
