BREAKING NEWS: POLICE CONFIRM A TARGETED @TTACK 🚨 Investigators say the ki.l.l.i.n.g of former teacher Ashley Flynn in Tipp City was deliberate β€” not random. And one detail still pending from the @utopsy could change the entire direction of the case…

Tipp City police call Monday killing of ex-teacher a targeted attack

Tipp City police say Monday’s killing of a 37-year-old former teacher in her home was an isolated incident, and that there is no ongoing threat to the community.

Investigators are still working to determine who is responsible for the death of Ashley Flynn.

Chief Greg Adkins confirms Flynn died from a gunshot wound, though detectives are still waiting on the full autopsy results.

More than 48 hours later, the crime scene remains secured as investigators process evidence and review tips from the public.

Adkins the FBI was brought in to provide additional manpower and resources because Tipp City does not handle major homicides like this often.

He also said officers canvassed neighbors for Ring doorbell footage the morning of the shooting. They are also using regional Flock cameras as part of the investigation.

While no suspect has been identified, Adkins says that based on what they have learned so far, the community should not be fearful of someone being on the loose.

β€œIt’s a targeted incident at that residence only,” he says. β€œThere’s no information available to us right now that is pointing us to believe that the public’s in any danger.

β€œI don’t think it was just, you know, a random act of violence that that occurred there.”

The chief calls the investigation complex with many moving parts and says there is no confirmed motive.

β€œWithout getting into the details of it, there is a lot of, a lot of moving parts and a lot of stuff that that is related to this and, and information that’s out there.”

Adkins said they have received a high volume of tips and information.

He said they are still working to collect and process information so they can accurately and effectively provide the Flynn family justice and give the community answers.

Tipp City community responds to ex-teacher’s killing

As investigators continue their work, the community is rallying around the family.

When 37-year-old Ashley Flynn was pronounced dead in her home on Monday morning, it sent waves through the Tipp City community.

Ribbons now line Main Street light posts, some with bible verses and prayers.

This weekend, one local business is donating a portion of its proceeds to help the family.

β€œI just want family to know that that we’re praying for them and that, you know, they’re in our prayers,” said Jason Pierce, owner of Red Devil Pizza & Deli. β€œIf there’s anything we can do, don’t hesitate to care. It’s a hot meal or, you know, anything. Just let us know we’re here for you.”

The window to contribute to the cause at the restaurant runs Friday through Sunday.

β€œThe shoppers in our store were visibly shaken,” said Molly Winblad. β€œObviously, we don’t have this kind of thing go on in this town.

β€œThis town is a small town, and a lot of people know each other. It’s just…it’s shaken us.”

Some said they are still feeling fear, especially with no suspect identified.

β€œI know people are afraid now because they haven’t found anybody yet,” says Molly. β€œSo we just, though, have to keep going on because bad things happen all over the world. And we just got to keep going on. We got to support each other and stay close.”

Unknown DNA. And what used to be a dead end is now the most powerful lead in the case. Investigators searching for answers in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie are diving into investigative genetic genealogy β€” the same cutting-edge technique that helped identify the Golden State Killer and track Bryan Kohberger. The glove found two miles from her Tucson home didn’t match anyone in CODIS. DNA collected at the house didn’t match either. Years ago, that would have stalled the case. Now? It could be the breakthrough. By combing through public DNA databases, experts can identify distant relatives of an unknown suspect β€” sometimes from less than 1% shared DNA β€” and build a family tree that narrows the search to a single name. It can take minutes. Or it can take years.

A masked man. A single glove. And now β€” DNA that could unmask a kidnapper. Three weeks after 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie vanished from her Tucson home, investigators are turning to cutting-edge genetic genealogy in a high-stakes effort to identify a suspect. DNA recovered near the scene didn’t match anything in the FBI’s CODIS database. But authorities believe they may have found genetic material that belongs to the person who took her. If that’s true, experts say it’s only a matter of time. The same investigative technique helped catch the Golden State Killer and Bryan Kohberger. Now it could expose whoever was caught on camera outside Guthrie’s home β€” armed, masked, wearing a distinctive Ozark Trail backpack. More than 19,000 tips have poured in. A reward exceeding $200,000 is on the table. Federal, state, and local agencies are combing through partial DNA, security footage, credit card trails, even backpack sales across Arizona. And the sheriff has a warning: if you’re responsible, you should be worried. Because this case isn’t cold. And the science may be closing in.

Meanwhile, investigators are chasing DNA that doesn’t match, analyzing biological evidence still in the lab, probing recent gun purchases, and even scanning for signals from Guthrie’s pacemaker, which mysteriously disconnected from her phone hours before she was reported missing. Gloves with unknown DNA found miles away. Extra security cameras still being processed. A possible second person involved. Someone knows what happened that night. And authorities believe this case is far from random.
